Chapter 42 Outside the Flower Wall
It was a hot summer, Wei Yi went out to look at this powerful capital during his rest time, he saw the face of King Qin, and thought that he was a mean and unkind person, why did there be an accident?
A strange wooden wheel stood in the water next to a wooden house along the river, and the leaders carried heavy bags in their hands, and entered the wooden houses one by one, and after a short time they came out with much smaller bags.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Wei Yi was really curious, and couldn't help but ask an old man at the end, seeing that he was a public servant with a brown scarf on his head.
The old man, who was talking to the person in front of him, was startled, and saw that there was a senior official he had never seen before, and he was busy preparing to bow down. Wei Yu hurriedly stopped the other party and explained to him: "Don't be polite to the old man, why are you waiting here?" ”
The old man smiled heartily and revealed the mouth that was missing a few teeth, and he arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said, "It is the king who takes pity on the people and specially sets up a waterwheel to benefit the people." Let those who are so weak and dull-mouthed that they can eat and drink without worry. Earlier, the king announced tofu and wheat flour food, and it was not convenient for the old people in the city to make it at home. Now, with this water mill, families can pay a little grain to get wheat flour to eat. ”
Wei Yi has been called by the King of Qin these days, and he has never been to the market, but he didn't know that there had been such a big change in the city. He said goodbye to his father-in-law and continued to walk along the river, and found that there would be a water mill running by the river every few minutes.
The courtiers in the court did not have much objection to King Qin's promotion of waterwheels and windmills. Although this is to make the people of the city lose their punishment, it is not impossible to change to other clothes such as clothing, the Qin army can not only bring their own clothes when they go to war, but also spend money to buy them from the government. If you can do more, you can also generate income for the local government, and if you get the "most" in the assessment, you can be promoted early, why not.
It's just that the monarch summoned a girl to the Shaofu as a engineer is really a bit shocking to them, although this is a precedent, the Shaofu is the private property of the monarch, and they have no reason to object. However, if one day there are women in the court, they will definitely defend their unique rights to the death.
When Lu Gong came back from Guoxue with his two sons, he was amazed that Xianyang City had added new things in just half a month. After returning home, he heard that his eldest daughter had been promoted to engineer by virtue of his merits, and he stared at the somewhat shy Chang Ji in surprise and asked, "Could it be that the Lu's waterwheel praised outside was made by my son?" ”
"Exactly. Every waterwheel of my father is marked with a master's wife, and the people of the country almost know that there is a female engineer who supervised the manufacture of the waterwheel. Lu Pheasant told the news to Lu Gong with a smile, she had no jealousy of her eldest sister who was one step ahead of her fame, and it was her honor to have this ability to be appreciated by Qin Zheng.
She made the treadmill just to have a step forward, but she didn't really like these things. Compared with those wooden machines, she prefers to be vertical and horizontal, and she prefers to conquer the world with strong horses. As time passed, autumn was just around the corner, and she was about to single-handedly pry the whole world, and she trembled with excitement every time she thought of it.
"It's just that my son's reputation is far and wide, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry in the future!" Although Lu Gong thought that the waterwheel made by Chang Ji was a credit to the country, he had to worry about her future marriage. Although the people of the time had the custom of recruiting redundant people, the son-in-law was severely punished by the Qin law, so although he was an engineer, he was also rare to be loved by the small and medium-sized officials in the country, and the bigger officials did not necessarily like the deviant daughter.
He frowned as if he was worried about the future, but he completely forgot that Chang Ji was only with yellow hair hanging down now, so why did he need to be so nervous.
"Father, don't worry, if there is a son who doesn't want to marry his sister in the future, I will take my eldest brother to fight and let him marry his sister." Lu Shizhi looked a little mature, but when he opened his mouth, he was still just a bastard talker.
Lu Gong stretched out his hand and slapped Lu Shizhi's head, blowing his beard and staring at him with a glare: "You have forgotten all the Fa you learned in the academy?" ”
With Lu Shizhi's interruption, the family is no longer entangled in what has not happened yet. The happy people who ate together at breakfast the next day had a ruddy and springy face, and were asked by the eldest concubine who didn't know what to do: "Grandma's face is not good, isn't she sick?" ”
The complexion that was about to be restored instantly turned red again, and Lezi reached out and quietly twisted the soft/flesh on Lu Gong's waist. Lu Gong endured the pain and explained with an unchanged face: "Madame was hot this morning, so it's not surprising that some of the heat is red." ”
Chang Ji also wanted to ask why it was so hot in the morning, obviously the hottest time was in the afternoon. Lu Pheasant was amused in her heart, but she pulled her sleeves and stopped her behavior.
Qin Zheng in the palace was sitting behind the desk and listening to Han Fei's lecture intently, when he heard the sentence "A hundred battles ...... a day", he slapped his thigh with his excited hand: "That's right, Mr. Dacai." The overreaction made Han Fei startled, and he tried to humble himself, but was stopped by Qin Zheng.
"Mr.'s words really made the widow suddenly, the widow is willing to hire Mr. as a doctor, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" Qin Zheng sincerely looked at Han Fei and proposed again.
He thanked the King of Qin again for his invitation, saying that he could not serve as a doctor. One of the reasons why Han Fei is reluctant to be an official is that he is deeply in love with his homeland, and since he was born, he has always relied on the grace of King Han, if he is out of Qin's heart. The second is that he stutters and cannot debate with others, he is always ridiculed by others, and he is often not clean as an official.
Qin Zheng saw that Mr. was so resolute that he had no choice but to stop mentioning the matter, and discussed with him that "husband and wife hold the government, and the son is at a loss." This sentence comes.
From time to time in the main hall, Qin Zheng's voice asked questions, followed by Han Fei's stumbling reply. The two of them didn't know that they were reminded by the eunuch to rest until late at night, and Qin Zheng specially arranged for the eunuch to take Han Fei to the front palace to find a side hall to rest, so that they could listen to Han Fei's teachings earlier in the day.
Han Fei, who was walking silently behind the lantern-wielding eunuch, was in a trance, as if he had met the first king in the palace of King Han in the early years. At that time, he was still very interested in Huang Lao, and he had studied at home for a long time, and when he felt that he had achieved something, he excitedly offered advice to Han Henghui Wang.
At that time, the king of Han was not as old as he was later, and the great war caused by the Shangdang county guard only frightened the king of Han, although the king of Han was depressed but not confused, he met the king of Han and said: "Now the virtuous people in the country are in the opposition, and there are many moths in the court, why not raise the virtuous people to replace them." ”
It's just that he didn't expect that Chen Shu, which had been used for five consecutive years, was never adopted by King Han, so he angrily went to the Lanling Mausoleum of Chu to study under Master Xun. Now his doctrine is blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall, and the king of Han abandons it like a shoe, and the king of Qin respects it like a guide.
If King Han could learn like King Qin, South Korea would not be like the sunset it is today, and of course he would not be in Xianyang. Everything is just if, and the past will not change. Han Fei walked farther and farther with the eunuch with a calm face, and completely disappeared at the corner of the palace, as if it had never existed.
After Lu Gong took his son to go to the Chinese school, Lu Pheasant was called by the Queen Mother to accompany him to watch the football show. Since the waterwheel was presented to the king on that day, Lu Pheasant has not entered the palace for some time. Of course, she knew how much Han Fei's thoughts would affect Qin Zheng, but one day he would become an emperor, and she didn't want to enter the harem again.
There are so many empty seats in the previous dynasty, where can she sit? Not to mention the fact that autumn is coming, when the harvest season is coming, the farmers will harvest the grain, and they will be given official positions for the first time.
When she was led to the Queen Mother, she saw that the Queen Mother and Qin Zheng were hiding in the shade of Her Royal Highness watching the ball game off the table. The Queen Mother wore a very cool summer dress, and her fair skin could be seen through several layers of tulle. Her hot face was flushed, and she ordered someone to fan the fan faster, and when she saw Lu Pheasant walking over in the distance, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to greet her: "Come over and let me see, I haven't seen it for a long time, but I have grown up again, but I am really a beauty embryo." ”
Lu Pheasant endured the enthusiastic kneading of the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has spared the villain, and I will gain weight again when I touch it again." ”
"The queen mother should let her go, and let her enter the palace more often to accompany the queen mother in the future." Qin Zheng couldn't look at it and reluctantly said a word or two of justice, which made Lu Pheasant look at him gratefully.
Lu Pheasant didn't look at the ball play carefully, she just noticed that this time the black team won. The Queen Mother also explained on the side: "Since the last defeat, the black team has been ashamed and brave for the reward, and has practiced hard to improve their skills, and now it is the number one team in the palace." ”
"I don't know how many teams are in the palace?" Lu Pheasant thought that there would not be too many teams in the palace, and if it was still when he was just established, there would only be two teams.
The Queen Mother smiled at Lu Pheasant and said, "The palace is boring, some concubines, and my son's maids have gathered the women in the palace and formed dozens of teams!" ”
Lu Pheasant thought that it was a little boring if so many teams only won or lost in one round, and thought that the point system was good: "The Queen Mother might as well make each team a year spring and autumn for two seasons, and each team will hold a game outside the main hall during the season, and finally the one with the highest points in the season will win, and get the highest reward, and then the two teams will be slightly less rewarded, and then the last three teams will be slightly rewarded." With such a complicated format, the Queen Mother can also watch a few more games. I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks? ”
"Pheasant's idea is good, I will discuss it with the palace later, and the plan will be completed before the autumn." When the Queen Mother heard that Lu Pheasant had a good idea, and after rewarding the winner at the end of the game in front of her, she hurriedly moved towards the Queen Mother of Huayang.
"Thank you for finding a way to solve the problem for the queen mother, although it was forced at the time, it is not that there is no other solution in hindsight. The queen mother is now happy to be in it, which also makes the widow relieved. Qin Zheng pinched the corners of his clothes with his hands in his sleeves, stared at the empty audience and said what was in his heart.
"The Queen Mother treats me well, and I should repay the favor. These words are not mentioned for the time being, I heard that the king has been very kind to Han Fei recently? Lu Pheasant stared at Qin Zheng's angular handsome and jade face, thinking that Han Fei would stay in the palace for a few days, and test him with words.
Speaking of Han Fei, Qin Zheng's eyes lit up and praised him and said: "Mr. has only learned a lot, and the widow has learned a lot, especially the widow who has a deep feeling of 'a hundred battles in one day'. ”
"Your Majesty! If the king is suspicious, the minister is suspicious, and I hope that the king will think carefully! ”
