74 Eclipses contend
The affairs of the army are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Liu Hong has inspected them several times, and he is quite satisfied. In order to make the army look new, Liu Hong decided to give the army a big change.
For changing the army's clothes, Liu Hong has long been prepared, and has already stored enough cotton cloth and cotton. Although the fabric is sufficient, Liu Hong does not want to make military uniforms according to the previous style. The style of Hanfu is loose and baggy, and it looks absolutely good-looking and magnificent, but it is not suitable for riding a horse to fight.
Many people have noticed this shortcoming, and for this reason, King Zhao Wuling also specially engaged in a "Hufu Riding Shooting", but in Liu Hong's opinion, this is still not thorough. So Liu Hong decided that he wanted to make military uniforms according to the clothes of later generations.
The clothing of later generations is bigger than the material province of Hanfu. Liu Hong would not treat these soldiers badly, and decided to give them two sets of single clothes and one set of cotton clothes by one person. The cotton clothes are divided into coats, cotton jackets, gloves, hats and cotton shoes, this whole set. With these, the basic needs of the soldiers are basically guaranteed.
There are so many military uniforms to make, and it would have been a lot of work if they had been put in the past. But right now, it's a big deal that everyone is vying for.
The main thing is that now it is different, and there are water-powered looms for weaving. And after Ma Jun's improvement, it is no worse than the famous Jenny machine in later generations. With a sewing machine, it used to take days to make one piece of clothing, but now it is easy to make several pieces a day.
Such a good thing, of course, can't be cheaper than others, Liu Hong directly threw the order to the Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't have to worry about other things at all.
As soon as the new military uniform came out, Liu Hong wore a set first. For Liu Hong, Hanfu is good, but it is too hot to wear in summer. Liu Hong had long wanted to change his clothes, but it was not a good thing to be too innovative by himself, so Liu Hong held back.
Now that there is a chance, the army has changed its clothes, and Liu Hong is an example. The emperor has worn it, and the soldiers will not have an opinion because of the strange costumes. And Liu Hong, there is no need to cover the prickly heat anymore, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
In a blink of an eye, it is May, and during this time, it is to reform the army and change the army, and Liu Hong, who is busy, is not light. Liu Hong is a greedy for enjoyment, if he wants to be busy like this, he won't do it. So as soon as he had some free time, he got a deck chair, lay down in front of the main hall, and enjoyed watching all kinds of beautiful women in uniform walk around in front of him.
Liu Hong was enjoying it, when suddenly the sky was dark, and then someone beat gongs and drums, shouting that the tengu was eating the sun.
With such a shout, Liu Hong knew that a solar eclipse had occurred. From later generations, Liu Hong knew that solar eclipses were a very common natural phenomenon, so he didn't take it seriously. But after a while, Captain Si Li went to the tune, saying that the three princes were inactive, which caused the heavens to warn Liu Hong to replace the three princes.
For this twist, Liu Hong directly watched it as a joke, "What kind of joke is Nima, if there is a solar eclipse, you will have to replace the three princes!" In the next few years, there will be solar eclipses every year, sometimes several times a year, and I have to prepare how many three gongs to get it. ”
Liu Hong didn't pay attention to the impeachment of the lieutenant Si Li, this is a big deal, not only the lieutenant of Si Li, but even the monk Shang Shuling in the imperial history has also joined the ranks of impeachment, which made Liu Hong big for a while. In the end, in desperation, I had to listen to their opinions and let Hu Guang, the doctor of Taizhong, replace the position of Situ of Xuanyu, and they could be regarded as resting.
After suffering such a dumb loss, Liu Hong is as aggrieved as he wants. Whether the three dukes are changed or not, he doesn't care. These people weren't his descendants in the first place, but he had never been so angry.
If you just get a little angry, forget it, but if this matter is not resolved, as soon as there is a solar eclipse in the future, the three princes will be replaced, which will also delay the business too much.
"Forget about this incident, I will never allow such a thing to happen in the future."
Thinking of this, Liu Hong called the person in charge of the newspaper. Let him arrange a report on the causes of the solar and lunar eclipses, explaining that this is just a very normal astronomical phenomenon, not a warning from the heavens. In order to strengthen credibility, Liu Hong also reported the occurrence times of several subsequent solar eclipses according to the records in the history books to prove it.
Although Liu Hong's newspaper has been charged, the price is not expensive. Most people don't care about the money. Therefore, the sales of newspapers have not decreased because of the fees, and in the capital alone, there are more than 100,000 copies of circulation every day.
With such a large circulation, it can be seen that many people are paying attention to the newspaper. As soon as Liu Hong's report appeared, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
For the first time, people heard that they lived on a ball and that they revolved around the sun. Although it is also explained in it, at sea, the first thing you see is always the sail, which indicates that the water is not flat, otherwise you will see the whole ship. But most people still can't accept this statement.
People with a calm heart, after reading it, just laugh and forget it. However, the short-tempered people directly rebuked this statement as heresy and demanded severe punishment from the imperial court.
For this statement, many people agreed, and in the end, it really got into trouble.
"What, to ask me to shut down the newspaper and arrest the person who published the cause of this eclipse? Isn't that! ”
Shutting down the newspaper is to cut off Liu Hong's financial path and people's money, just like killing his parents, according to this statement, how could Liu Hong easily let go of the person who proposed.
"Are you sick in the brain, you can get this kind of thing to the court." Looking at the minister who proposed, Liu Hong said again, "I have said a long time ago that everyone has the right to speak. As long as people don't endanger the country and the people, why should I shut down the newspaper? Why should you arrest people? If I arrest you for no reason, would you be willing? ”
Seeing that the minister still wanted to refute, Liu Hong said directly: "I told you that I am the emperor to ensure that everyone has the right to speak, and not to scold people for their words, this is the minimum." ”
This sentence resonated with everyone, whether they agreed with that statement or not, and they all applauded this sentence.
"Didn't that person have an inference, and said the time of the next solar eclipse, and it was up to him to see if he was accurate. If it is accurate, it means that what they say is the truth. If not, everyone can't listen to it as a joke, is it necessary to be so serious? I am here in the court, and I am a place to deal with national affairs, and this kind of thing has to be brought to the court to say, don't you think I am too idle. ”
The ministers really felt that Liu Hong was too idle, and he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, but they didn't dare to say it.
However, Liu Hong also took the opportunity to get out of the news management organization and completely controlled public opinion in his hands. Now, even if someone else runs a newspaper, it will be in vain, if you can't manage it, you won't be able to publish it, and if you have a newspaper, it's useless.
