In February, the entire Han Dynasty fell into a depression, the trees were blown into clean dead branches by the cold wind, and from time to time they made a whining sound, and the streets were dusty, and the peels, garbage, and sand scattered on the ground were swept up into the sky and drifted with the wind.

At this time, there are not many things that the people can do, or go to the wine house, or find friends, or idle at home, and the literati and scholars will also take advantage of this season to frequently organize speech conferences, exchange ideas, and discuss literature, because many scholars will be busy at the beginning of spring, and there is no leisure time to participate in gatherings.

At the resignation meeting organized by these literati, most of them are indispensable to talk about the recently famous Nu Yan and Huang Yu, "Goddess Fu" has not yet been circulated, "Shu Dao Difficulty" and "Denglou Fu" can be called the masterpieces of recent years, and even Sima Xiangru, who is far away in Shu, is full of praise for "Shu Dao Difficulty", and let out a word, inviting Huang Yu to go to Shu to play.

However, these two authors are extremely mysterious, and they have only appeared once in Linglilou, as for their identity, family, and origin, there is not much information so far, so that there is no way to find the "Xiang" who apologizes to the woman.

Ascending the stairs to become a masterpiece, indispensable to the foil of Xiang, insulting people is not a contrary to being abused, thinking of the ascending stairs to come to him, there will be some disdain between words, and Xiang has become the object of ridicule of cultural groups. Whenever he participated in the resignation meeting, the talented people would point: "Look, isn't that the Xiangli in the Fuli?" It's a cold day, it's a ball......"

After many times like this, his face was gone, he was ashamed, his voice was ruined, and he didn't even dare to go out of his house.

It was only later that the Enlightenment Teacher told him how to save his reputation...... Take the initiative to admit your mistakes, apologize to your daughter, and ask for forgiveness, and people will think that you can "know your mistakes and be broad-minded", but you can achieve your good name.

However, the woman was haunted, and there was no trace of her from Linglilou, and she didn't even have a chance to apologize, so she was very bitter......

At the same time that the female Yan and the emperor were famous, they were not all praised, and the painters, pianists, lyricists and others also spread the words of how the two teenagers sang evil songs, held talents and were proud, lacked virtue, and had no character, and there was a lot of disdain between words.

It is always more comfortable to belittle others than to praise them, after all, there is a "me" in the middle, and if you are elevated, it will appear that I am low. So it was rumored in Chang'an City that the two of them were selling their fame and reputation, spending money to buy a few resignations to prepare, looking at the situation of Lingli Building in advance, and knowing the third and fourth floors well.

Regarding these remarks of "saying that grapes are sour", Han Yanzhen ignored them, because Zhuo Wangsun asked him to open a mine and open an iron mine.

For Lao Zhuo's perseverance, Han Yan is quite admired, since the witch was cleaned up, Zhuo Wangsun saw the crown prince lead troops to come out for him, so he stammered, stayed in Chang'an for nearly two months and did not go back, the weather was cold, and he looked for a pig to send him a door thorn every day, just asking for a story.

At first, Han Yan was completely unmoved, money is enough to spend, he has already won the windfall profits of paper, he should be content, his hand is stretched too long will inevitably make people red, and he can't leave Liu Che's side, and he can't get involved in the management of iron ore at all, although he can only get dividends on time, but how can this money be so easy to take?

The dredging of officialdom and the struggle among the people are quite complicated, and wherever the mines are opened, there will never be peace, and the war with the local peasants will never stop.

In the officialdom, I know how many pounds and taels I have, but I am a young man, a sesame official in the eyes of others, and I give you face because I have Liu Che behind my back, otherwise you are a ball...... It's okay to eat in Chang'an City, once you get out of this land, who will buy your face?

To open a mine to occupy an area, you think that 300 yuan per acre of land is considered high, people must want 500 yuan, you feel unhappy if you lose too much, and people will not let you lose too much, what should you do in the end, show your sword, see if I am powerful, or you farmers are cruel.

In case the news can't be suppressed and is exposed, Liu Che may not be able to keep us, even if he does, he will feel that you are not greedy enough, so he will have a gap in his heart.

But King Zhuo Sun came every day, and after a long time, Han Yan couldn't stand it, so that he was not moved by his sincerity, but the faint ambition in his heart......

No one wants to be the second child all the time, being pressed by a mountain, although he may not be able to be the boss in this life, but in times of peace, he must always be prepared.

Liu De built the Rihua Palace, recruited 800 Confucian students, and was ready to enter the center at any time, we must learn from him, in case there is an opportunity in the future, but you can't show your strength, it is really a waste of time.

Iron is a thing that needs to be used in wars and life, and it is a sharp weapon to rule the country. The quality of iron is good or not, whether the yield is high or not, it is related to the safety of the world, if I can make a weapon that sharpens iron like clay, a hundred people can fight a thousand people, as long as I recruit a few hundred domestic slaves, I can run rampant. In the future, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will also conquer the Xiongnu, and he will definitely send us to the battlefield at that time.

Zhuo Wangsun is an iron-smelting family, with the most advanced iron-smelting technology of the Han Dynasty, and cooperating with him is a strong alliance, in the past, there was no such shop in this village, which made Han Yan very entangled, wanting to control his fate, but he was afraid of planting here, and opening a small stove with Liu Che behind his back, which was very risky.

Han Yan's bedroom, the soft and thick carpet is paved, and the foot surface will sink slightly when stepped on, giving people a sense of floating trance, the desk made of Nanmu stands in the corner of the wall, the teacup is exquisite, the palace lamp is burning for a long time, and the two teenagers sitting on the Taishi chair next to the table are competing against the Chu River and Han realm.

Han Yan was very helpless, he deliberately ate a cannon, and finally let Liu Che win a game, this stinky chess basket can't even master the chess game, how will he be eloquent in the future?

"You've got a good desk." How could Liu Che not know that people deliberately gave in and was not proud if he won.

pia~pia~ patted the thick desktop twice, looked up and down at the one-meter-high and chic desk, and touched the hollow carved Taishi chair, full of praise. This is Han Yan's boring work this month, because he is afraid that he will get arthritis from kneeling, and he also wants to use these furniture to remember modern life.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you, and I'll find someone to make another set."

"Am I laughing at it?"

"It's just a piece of furniture." Han Yan was disdainful, I was not so stingy, he picked his nostrils with his little thumb and said, "Your Majesty is about to celebrate his birthday, it is said that it will be a big event this year, have you prepared a gift for your father?" ”

"Alas, this matter ......" Liu Che frowned.

Emperor Jing's health has been worse recently, his energy is not good, and he doesn't even approve the chapter, since Zhou Yafu's death, he has given power to the courtiers, and he has been recuperating in the palace with peace of mind.

It is said that this time the big deal is afraid that he will not survive next year, and the princes also know it, and they have all done their best to search for curiosities, and try their best to please the emperor, in case Your Majesty is happy and passes the throne to me?

It is quite difficult to come out on top among more than a dozen princes and stabilize their position.

"I'm at a loss." Liu Che spread out his hands bitterly, and asked everyone who could ask, even Wei Juan also asked, everyone didn't have a good idea, it was nothing more than the cliché mountain pearl treasure, the golden jade clothes and the like. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "Eh, I heard that Zhuo Wangsun has been looking for you recently, he is in Shudi, it is said that there are many immortals there, and there are many strange things, why don't you invite him to ask?" ”

"Forehead ......" Han Yan panicked, but his face did not move at all, and he secretly scolded the slot, sure enough, there were many eyes and ears, and he didn't even have any privacy. Leave this matter on me, but you will bleed profusely, and there will not be much gold left in the womb. ”

"Do you have a way to suppress the gifts of the other princes?" Liu Che poked his head forward, a little excited, "Money is a trivial matter, as long as you can keep your status, you will have a gold mountain if you want it in the future, you can use it." ”

"I'm a person who has seen fairies in my dreams, and it's just a piece of cake to get some ingenious treasures." Han Yan flicked the boogers on his little finger into the corner, and he had the chance to win.

"At the critical moment, it's still the second brother, you use it." Liu Che leaned over and patted Han Yan on the shoulder, expressing great relief, and then said with a smile: "That Zhuo Wangsun is looking for you just to slap you, he gathered thousands of children in Shu, collected all the exiled people, occupied the benefits of mountains and rivers to mine iron ore, smelt equipment, and be the world's richest, always have to find some protection for these money, you and I are righteous brothers, after I ascend the throne, you are one of the best people in the court, he promises you benefits, befriend you, and he can sit back and relax." But ......"

Liu Che's eyes were full of sparkles, and then he said: "The businessman pursues profits, and the benefits he gives you will definitely be earned back ten times and a hundred times, if he only occupies the mountains and rivers, I am afraid that he will prey on the people, forcibly oppress the people, accumulate several times the number of children, and rely on your power as a disaster, and then it will threaten the local government, and even endanger the imperial court, and the second brother must not ignore it." ”

In the depths of winter, the window sealed with a thick cloth was not very strong after all, and a cold wind overflowed into the room through the cracks, making Han Yan's heart chill, his fingertips were cold, and cold sweat almost broke out on the back of his head.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was named "Liu Yu" before he was seven years old, but when he became the crown prince, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty changed his name to "Liu Che", because of his wisdom and insight, and his saintly and thorough

。 After almost a year, most of the time he was with Liu Che, Han Yan rarely saw him show his edge, and rarely expressed his opinions and put on a show on weekdays, the two often laughed and laughed, almost forgetting that this was the first emperor of the ages, at this moment, he only heard Zhuo Wangsun looking for him, and he thought about the cause and effect like a mirror, Han Yan was a little frightened......

"Big brother, in fact, you want to be crooked about this, I have no friendship with Zhuo Wangsun, I already have the benefit of paper, I am not short of money, and I am not so greedy, the only little thought is to covet Zhuo Wangsun's iron smelting method, think about it, if you attack the Huns in the future, what will happen if the weapons are not as good as others?"

"Of course I can't."

"That's it, keeping weapons advanced is a necessary factor to win the war, if you give Zhuo Wangsun a little benefit, let him increase the research of weapons, improve the iron-smelting technology, and when attacking the Huns in the future, the swords will clash, one knife and one crunch, killing the Huns is like slaughtering pigs and dogs."

"Hmm......" Liu Che glanced at Han Yan without a trace, then stroked his chin and thought, "So you think so, maybe it's because I'm stingy, but I won't see Zhuo Wangsun, and when I see him, Shu will have a soil overlord." Second brother, go and get in touch with him, but don't fall into his quagmire, I'm just the crown prince, I have a father and a grandmother, if someone makes trouble for you, I can't help it. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I will beat him and restrain him, money is not so easy to earn, if he can't research a good weapon, then he will be unlucky."

"That's right." Liu Che nodded in response, picked up the teacup on the table, and rubbed the leaf foam with the tea lid before drinking.
