Chapter 197: Face Saint (1)
After a short stop in Chiyang County, where the Zhengguo Canal and the Liufu Canal meet, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin continued on the road, and after crossing the gourd of Jiuning Mountain, the road ahead suddenly became clear and flat.
The majestic straight road built by Qin Shi Huang is straight to the north, and the avenue is wide and flat.
Before the evening, we arrived at the Liangshan Palace, the Han family's palace.
Liangshan Palace is now the most complete Qin Dynasty palace in the whole world.
Inside and outside the palace, there is a strong atmosphere of the Qin Dynasty.
Walking in the Liangshan Palace, you can even see some stone carvings of the Qin Dynasty from time to time.
The architecture of the palace has preserved many architectural styles of the Qin Dynasty.
What's more important is that Liangshan Palace is also the most important bow and crossbow manufacturing base of Han Shaofuqing.
Tens of thousands of crossbows and tens of millions of arrows are produced here every year.
In order to ensure the production of arrows, Shaofuqing organized a large-scale goose hunting activity every year.
Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of geese and other birds are hunted, and their feathers are used as raw materials for arrows.
By the way, also take advantage of this opportunity to train shooters.
Therefore, the security level inside and outside Liangshan Palace is almost the same as that of Weiyang Palace.
The Northern Army even sent a lieutenant department, which was stationed here all year round.
Zhang Yue and Liu Jin, when they arrived at the base camp of Shaofuqing, naturally had to take a look at the production of bows and crossbows in Shaofu.
Just looked around, walked in the bow and crossbow workshop in Liangshan Palace, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin were shocked.
In particular, the crossbow production mechanism of the Han family shocked Zhang Yue, a traverser.
Because......
The craftsmen of Shaofu actually use an assembly line to produce crossbow machines!!!!!!!!
Although, there are no conveyor belts, no machines, there are just craftsmen and files.
However, it is still extremely efficient.
Because every craftsman is only responsible for the assembly and manufacture of a certain part.
A team of craftsmen can assemble and manufacture a dozen or more crossbow machines in a single day.
The finished crossbow machines will be sent to the storeroom, where the craftsmen will inscribe the name of the craftsman who made them on the brackets of the crossbow machines.
This made Zhang Yue really don't know what to say.
In the Han Dynasty before the Common Era, the working people of the Zhuxia nation had already created such an advanced and advanced mode of production.
Pity......
After Han Ji, this method was actually lost......
This made Zhang Yue really not know what to say.
After reading the Shaofu Workshop in Liangshan Palace, Zhang Yue had already secretly decided in his heart that when the time was ripe in the future, he must compile an encyclopedia covering all the current technologies of the Han Dynasty.
So that the crystallization of the wisdom of these ancestors can be passed on to future generations and let future generations know.
Compared with Zhang Yue, Liu Jin is like a curious baby, walking through the inside and outside of the Shaofu's workshop, looking and pondering the craftsmen and officials inside and outside the workshop.
From time to time find someone to ask, ask.
It's no wonder that this is the first time he has actually come into contact with the workshop of the Han family, and has seen the operation of Shaofuqing's workshop with his own eyes.
Everything was far from what he had imagined.
His teachers once told him that craftsmen are the last business, and craftsmen are vulgar and should not be deeply acquainted.
However, in this workshop, he saw a lot of things that were very different from what his teachers used to say.
Not only is the whole workshop in order inside and outside, but all the craftsmen are conscientiously engaged in their work.
In the workshop, it is very clean, and there is no garbage pile and debris.
He even saw an old craftsman, who was in his seventies, with a gray beard, a clumped back, and his hands covered with thick calluses.
But this old craftsman can speak well, even in front of him, he is quite polite.
What's more important is that this old craftsman is highly respected throughout the entire Liangshan Palace.
Even the eunuchs who were in charge of supervising the Liangshan Palace workshop were submissive in front of him, and they were subordinate to their sons and nephews.
Liu Jin asked, it turned out that this old craftsman was the third old man of Hukou!
Moreover, the big ones are scared to death!
His ancestors, who participated in the construction of Chang'an City, were named Wuhou, and were the right-hand man of Xiao He, the Marquis of Zhanwen.
In his generation, he was already the third minister of the Han Dynasty.
His sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren all served in Shaofuqing's examination office.
And he himself is the best bow and crossbow design master of the Han family.
It is said that at the beginning, the general Changping Lie waited for Wei Qing, and once gave a disciple salute and wanted to invite this old man to the general's mansion to enjoy Qingfu.
But people don't want to go, so they love to fiddle with bows and crossbows and swords in Liangshan Palace.
After listening to this, Liu Jin was in awe, and his attitude towards craftsmen in his heart quietly changed.
At least, the status of the craftsman has improved a lot in his heart.
……………………………………
On the second day, the two left Liangshan Palace, set off to continue north, crossing the runway, Yunyang County was already in sight, and the outline of Ganquan Mountain also appeared in sight.
As a summer garden of the Han family, the scale of the palace complex of Ganquan Palace is not much smaller than that of Weiyang Palace.
And even more extravagant and magnificent.
Along the way, you can see annexes and palace rooms everywhere.
The eunuchs and maids are even more endless.
The entire Yunyang County is about to become a place for the activities of the Han royal family.
In the afternoon, the palace car of the two arrived at the Tangli Palace on the periphery of Ganquan Palace.
This place is the place where Sima Xiangru, a great writer of the Han Dynasty, lived before his death.
It is said that it was here that this great writer, splashing ink, wrote the famous "Shanglin Fu", whose writing is high-spirited, full of the grandeur and domineering of the Han Empire, which makes people love it.
And Tangli Palace has always been the south gate of Ganquan Palace.
Entering here is equivalent to entering the forbidden area of Ganquan Palace.
Zhang Yue and Liu Jin took out their talismans in front of the palace gate, and after verifying their identities, they immediately had guards come out to escort them.
As soon as he entered the palace gate of Tangli Palace, Zhang Yue heard a familiar voice: "Zhang Shizhong ......"
He looked up and saw the violent victory in the imperial history, and greeted him with a bitter melon face.
"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson...... Zhang Shizhong ...... "Violent Shengzhi walked to the car of the two, bowed his hands, drooped his head, and looked a little weak.
"Where did Zhongcheng come from?" Liu Jin asked a little strangely.
But Zhang Yue was quite embarrassed to bow his hand to the violent victory, and said: "It's hard work, let Zhongcheng suffer......"
"Alas!" Storm Victory sighed.
Liu Jin didn't understand, what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing.
"Zhongcheng, please get in the car and talk ......about it," Zhang Yue asked.
Storm Shengzhi was not polite, arched his hand, climbed into the carriage, and sat opposite the two.
"The Son of Heaven didn't blame Zhongcheng...... right," Zhang Yue asked softly.
Storm Victory shook his head, he was scolded miserably this time!
He arrived at Ganquan Palace one day earlier than Zhang Yue and others, thinking that the Son of Heaven had ordered him to come because he had a mission.
I didn't expect it, but it was a scolding.
He was about to be scolded for doubting his life.
"It's the lower officials who are involved in the middle of the ......," Zhang Yue said and bowed slightly: "It's just that the lower officials have no choice, and the middle of the hope is ...... to Chenghaihan."
Storm Shengzhi nodded when he heard this, and then waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with the servants, as the emperor of the imperial history, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, but I can't supervise a good place for Your Majesty, this is a dereliction of duty, and it should be reprimanded by Your Majesty!" ”
In fact, he still has something to say - as a minister of legalism, he was born to take the blame for the emperor.
This is something that all the Legalist ministers themselves know.
In fact, if a certain Legalist minister is not reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, then he will beat the drum in his heart, and he will go up and down.
On the contrary, he was scolded, and his heart was comfortable.
The reason is very simple, the Son of Heaven scolds you, but that is actually to protect you.
Besides, it is a great honor to be able to bear the blame for the Son of Heaven!
Although there may be a mistake for a while, he will be demoted, and he may even be released.
However, after a year and a half, the Son of Heaven will remember—such and such a loyal minister, such a loyal minister, should go to a higher post to serve me!
So with an edict, this back-handed man immediately rose to prominence, was promoted three levels in a row, and returned to a high position.
At the beginning, in the era of Zhang Tang and Gongsun Hong, these two people rushed to take the blame for the Son of Heaven, so they climbed to the position of the third prince one by one.
And Storm Victory, waiting for an opportunity to take the blame, has been waiting for several years.
This time, it can be regarded as a wish.
Although he was scolded, he might even have to bear some responsibility, and he was relegated to the Kwantung Prefecture and even the northwest frontier.
But this is only temporary.
In as little as a year, or a few years later, he will be able to return to Chang'an, and at that time, he will not be the angry little daughter-in-law of Yushi Zhongcheng.
It's Jiuqing, who holds great power!
Liu Jin watched from the side, listening to the conversation between the two ministers, he was dumbfounded in his heart, how could he never have imagined that there was such a posture in the officialdom?!
Looking at the appearance of the violent victory, he was scolded by his grandfather and reprimanded for a long time.
Although he was very disappointed on the surface, his eyebrows and eyes betrayed his heart deeply.
It seems that this royal historian is even ...... Sweet as a meal......
"Is there anything Zhongcheng needs help with?" Zhang Yue asked.
"If the waiter has a heart...... "Storm Shengzhi glanced at Zhang Yue deeply, and said the purpose of his trip: "Can you tell the truth about Xinfeng in front of the Son of Heaven for the foolish brother, and explain the difficulties of the imperial historians......"
As he spoke, he bowed and said: "If this can be the case, the foolish brother and the imperial doctor will be grateful!" ”
As a confidant of today's son, Storm Victory knows his king very well - don't 'argue' when he thinks you've done something wrong, it will only make things worse.
The best way is to admit your mistakes and admit your mistakes.
Whether it's wrong or not, admit it first.
Then, find an unrelated person and mention his difficulties and unspeakable secrets in front of the Son of Heaven.
As a result, a great image of loyal servants was established.
In this way, are you afraid that you will not be prosperous in official luck, and Jane is in the emperor's heart?
Zhang Yue listened, picked up the violent victory, looked at him, and said: "Zhongcheng don't worry, if Zhongcheng doesn't say anything about this matter, the lower officials will do it!" ”
"Thank you!" Storm Shengzhi took a deep look at Zhang Yue, and at this moment, he finally regarded Zhang Yue as his own.
The so-called own people, don't they have to do something for themselves at such a critical moment?
