There is a small courtyard on the east side of the summer palace, the southeast side of the courtyard is a small bamboo forest, there are clusters of wind chrysanthemums scattered in the corners, and the light purple petals bloom, and the atmosphere of the whole small courtyard seems quiet and quiet.

There was a guard standing guard in the courtyard, all expressionless, listening to the sound of reading from time to time in the house. Inside the house, there were several small cases neatly placed on the clean hardwood floor, and Liu Heng and other princes were kneeling and sitting in the middle.

Cui Lie held a newly transcribed copy of the "Taishi Gongshu", paced back and forth with his back hand, and from time to time swept over Liu Yuan's heirs who were writing with a pen. Although he was named a commonplace by Liu Yuan, he was in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, and he had the right to hear about it, but as far as Xia Guo was concerned at this time, he was just a vacant head. Therefore, Liu Yuan directly ordered him to teach his children.

After Cui Lie bought the official position in the Han Dynasty, although his reputation plummeted, he gradually declined. But he is a famous person in Jizhou, who has gone through the sea and has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and he is not a person who has lost his name. Let him teach his children, Liu Yuan is not afraid that he will mislead people's children.

In addition to Liu Heng's princes, there is also Liu Shu, a little girl, who went to school with the Wang brothers. At this time, holding his chin and carrying the wolf's hair to write and draw on the spread paper, he looked bored.

"The king has arrived!" With Zhang Rang shouting, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken.

"Meet my father (the king)!" Liu Yuan stepped in a few steps, glanced around, and waved his hand to excuse him.

Entering Cui Lie's seat, Liu Yuan said to him with a smile: "Wei Kao Gong, take care of this place with winding paths, and there is a hermit's style." When the lonely party arrives, I feel the leisurely and self-satisfied meaning, pleasing to the eye, and the fatigue is gone! ”

Listening to Liu Yuan's compliment, Cui Lie just bent down slightly and didn't answer. Liu Shu, who was on the side, saw Liu Yuan coming, ran to Liu Yuan's side excitedly with his calves, and shouted sweetly: "Father! ”

Liu Yuan smiled faintly, touched his bun, and said gently: "Shu'er, it seems that you have grown taller again!" Talk to Mr. He, what have you learned, and are you naughty? ”

"Shangshu", "Zuo Chuan", "Analects", "Mencius", ......" Liu Shu told everything she knew like a few treasures and sold it to Liu Yuan.

"Oh? That's a lot to learn! Liu Yuan smiled curiously and asked, "Tell me about Gu, what do these books say?" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Liu Shu's little face was bitter, a six-year-old girl, she could only tell the title of the book, and she really wanted her to tell what she had learned, but she didn't know how to say it. The little face was flushed.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled heartily, only thinking that Liu Shu's expression was very cute. Liu Shu twisted his fingers around the corners of his sleeves, heard Liu Yuan laughing, and threw himself into his arms a little shyly.

Holding it around, he turned his head to look at the brothers lined up below. Liu Heng, Liu Heng, Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng, Liu Rui, those who are as old as Liu Heng and Liu Rui are eleven years old.

Liu Yuan sighed a little, as if it was a blink of an eye, and his sons were so tall. Calming the faint ripples in his heart, Liu Yuan swept the book in Cui Lie's hand and asked the brothers: "Today's study is "Taishi Gongshu", where is it?" ”

"Back to my father, what Mr. said today is "The Biography of the Huns". As the eldest son, Liu Heng was the first to say.

When Liu Yuan heard this, his eyes immediately blinked a few times, and his mind turned to look at Liu Cheng: "Cheng'er, tell me, where are the Huns?" ”

Liu Cheng was stunned, among the three eldest princes, he was the most inconspicuous, and under the teaching of the Bian family, he has always been low-key. I never thought that Liu Yuan would ask him, but in the face of Liu Yuan's gaze, Liu Cheng took a breath and replied: "Father, according to what Mr. said, there are no more Huns in the world, only 'Xia people'!" ”

Hearing his answer, Liu Yuan was silent for a while, looked at Liu Cheng, and then glanced at Cui Lie. Seeing his indifferent appearance, a trace of strangeness flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes, and Cui Lie's mind was clear and tight. Over the years, Liu Yuan has been downplaying the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and strengthening the propaganda of the concept of "Xia people". The professor he taught was indeed quite in line with Liu Yuan's mind.

After thinking for a while, he said to Cui Lie: "Wei Kao Gong taught these children here, but he also succumbed to it. I want to equip subordinate officials under your Sikong Mansion, and this supervision duty is also bothered by the Wei Kao Public. As for these sons, they can find another doctor to teach! ”

"No!" When Cui Lie heard this, there was obviously a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes.

"Before the new doctor is selected, I will continue to bother with the Wei Kao Gong! Wei Kao was well-informed, and told them about the mountains, rivers, counties, and countries of the Han Dynasty, customs, systems and people's livelihood, law and culture, and talked about the Book of Han. Liu Yuan commanded.

Before leaving, he instructed the brothers who had relaxed a little: "You follow the good students of the husband, the big man is not easy to conquer, we must understand it, integrate into it, and then annex it!" As the heirs of the orphans, you should set an example for the Xia country and contribute to the country in the future! ”

Liu Heng and the others were obviously a little ignorant of Liu Yuan's words, but under his majestic gaze, they all nodded.

……

Walking on the streets of Meiji, Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart. More than ten years ago, although this place was the location of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting, it was only a dilapidated small city. Today, after three expansions, it has developed into a Hetao Xiongcheng.

Many years ago, the dome houses around Meiji were demolished and occupied by the new city. Walk along the wide avenue that runs from north to south, which can accommodate a large number of vehicles, and the feet are paved with green bricks.

Winter is approaching, the weather is getting colder, but the streets are bustling with activity. The people from the surrounding areas of Meiji carried camels and brought their belongings to the city to sell. There are many wealthy families in Meiji, and the nobles of the Xia Kingdom, who are accustomed to living in the city, are becoming more and more like the nobles of the Han Dynasty, and the consumption power of Meiji City has been developed, and the demand for various materials is also rising, and the daily cargo throughput is increasing.

Many people have relied on this and made a fortune from it. In the past, Liu Yuan attached great importance to business travel, mostly because of the scarcity of Xiongnu strategic resources, such as Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who could rely on them to rise, because Liu Yuan wanted to entrust his hands to obtain ironware, grain, cloth and other materials that were in high demand for the Xiongnu from the Han realm.

Over the years, Liu Yuan has worked hard to absorb the talents of the Han Dynasty and explore domestic resources for self-sufficiency. The dependence on business travel was greatly reduced, and Liu Yuan implemented heavy agriculture and animal husbandry in China, although he did not suppress the business affairs, but he did not make a big move.

He didn't want the peasants and herdsmen of the Xia Kingdom to leave the land and pastures and do business. A man who does not plow, or who is hungry; A woman does not weave, or suffers from its cold, especially in the period of great changes in China, grain, cloth, iron ore, this is the hard currency.

However, Rao is like this, the business atmosphere of Meiji is still strong, and business travelers from Dahan, Monan, and even the distant Western Regions compete for the value of goods.

Since they have all developed, Liu Yuan did not pretend to restrain them, in view of the complex composition of business and travel to and from Meiji, trade disputes continued, and the city's security and management were chaotic. In addition to the new city guards, the East Market was also set up in Meiji for the trading of goods, and the city was supervised by the scribes.

"Let's go, go to the East Market!" Turning to the east, Liu Yuan commanded with interest.

"King, the East Market is chaotic, let's not go!" Zhang Rang whispered beside him.

Glancing at it, Zhang Rang's neck shrank: "No! Then he led the way. And Long Wei secretly greeted, dozens of guards in civilian clothes went forward to explore the way and guard, wanting to avoid any risk that was unfavorable to Liu Yuan.
