Chapter 162: Temptation
Today's Han Kingdom is different from the past, Liu Xie Wei married to Wusun Kingdom, it has been thirty or forty years, at that time, the daughters of the convicted princes and kings could pretend to marry instead of the princess, what about now?
Kuang Heng saw it, and immediately raised his voice and said: "My Han is the country of the parents of the princess, and it is normal for the princess to have a love for the Han. β
Kuang Heng is figuring out what the Son of Heaven means, and his words are very clear that Liu Jiewu is not a genuine princess, so it is really not a big deal to find a random woman to marry to Wusun Country now.
As soon as Kuang Heng said this, Liu Xun glanced at him.
Kuang Heng said this for another purpose, in addition to currying favor with Emperor Liu Xun, it also meant to curry favor with Fuping Hou Zhang Bo and Tingwei Yu Dingguo.
Everyone knows that Liu Xun, the son of heaven of the Dao Dao, has two daughters, one is Liu Min, the princess of Guantao, and the other is Liu Shi, the princess of Jingwu, one of these two princesses was given to the son of Fuping Hou Zhang Bo, and now Huangmenlang Zhang Lin, and the other was married to the son of Tingwei Yu Dingguo, who is also Yu Yong of Huangmenlang.
Then, Liu Xun, the son of heaven, has no princess to marry Wusun again, as long as he learns from the precedents of the Han Kingdom and finds a woman to marry as a princess, everyone will be happy.
Everyone was thinking about this issue, so they didn't pay too much attention to the fact that Wusun Guo was going to marry a princess of their own.
It's difficult to marry a woman, this is easy to do, just find a man to marry the princess of Wusun Kingdom.
But Zhang Chang listened to Kuang Heng's words and was a little unimpressed.
For issues like Heqin, Zhang Chang has always felt that he needs to be cautious.
There is never love without a reason in this world. There is no inexplicable hatred, and there has never been a casual marriage and harmony between the two countries. If there is nothing to do, no one will marry their precious daughter to the edge of the sky, that is, find someone else's daughter to marry instead of the princess. There are also certain political schemes in the middle.
After closing the door, I knew that this woman was not a princess at home, but who knew if this princess was an imposter when she went out? At that time, everyone will pay attention to the identity of the princess, and nothing else.
Kuang Heng usually doesn't talk much in the main hall, but today's performance is a little prominent, and it is precisely because of Kuang Heng's remarks that Zhang Chang thought of Xiao Wangzhi.
Zhang Chang, like his friend Yang Yun, although he felt that Xiao Wangzhi was a little eager for quick success and hypocrisy, Xiao Wangzhi had a certain talent and knowledge after all. On many issues, Xiao Wangzhi did what he said correctly.
For example, Zhang Chang last year before going to Jiaodong about whether to take advantage of the Xiongnu civil strife to attack or take the opportunity to pacify, the Han and the Xiongnu have been hostile for more than 100 years, and it is normal to have emotions with each other, but now it has been proved that Xiao Wangzhi's strategy at that time was feasible, after the division of the Xiongnu, a considerable number of the Xiongnu have defected to the Han country.
It is certainly a pleasure to fight and kill, but such a bloodless disintegration of the enemy is really the highest level against the enemy.
Zhang Chang thinks. Xiao Wangzhi is a fellow countryman and a fellow Kuang Heng Kuang Zhigui is different.
Some people have knowledge in their stomachs after learning, and some people still have knowledge in their stomachs after learning.
The stomach is full of knowledge, and the knowledge learned is absorbed by oneself after transformation. became a personal opinion; And what is in the stomach is still the same things that the teacher taught, without any improvement and sublimation.
Therefore, Zhang Chang has always felt that Kuang Heng is a nerd. At the same time, Zhang Chang also felt that today's son didn't like Xiao Wangzhi's fellow disciple too much, otherwise. Why is Kuang Heng still a doctor, a "consultant" without authority?
Zhang Chang thinks. Today's matter about Wusun Kingdom marrying the princess of the Han Dynasty may have some twists and turns.
Sure enough, the courtiers in the Xuanshu Hall first discussed, and then began to quarrel, and there were no constructive opinions to the quarrels.
Some say that it is better to focus on the overall situation and marry a woman in the past, and some say that today's big men are different from the usual, and it is embarrassing and no way to send women out.
Some people retorted, how is it a shame to marry a girl, and what woman does not marry? Who to marry is not to marry? Nonsense!
Those who did not agree to marry the princess immediately said angrily: "Then send your daughter to Wusun Kingdom!" β
β¦β¦
Seeing that the time was not early, Liu Xun, the son of heaven, announced his retirement from the dynasty and discussed it again in the coming day.
β¦β¦
Gou Shen still stayed in Jinmamen until the hour, and then left the eunuch office and went to Yang Yun's house.
Gou Shen lived in Yang Yun's house for a while, and his family knew that this young man had a bad relationship with the master, so he said that the master was in the study.
Gou Shen went to the study, and when he saw what Yang Yun was writing, he said: "Brother Zi is familiar with the historical records, is there about to be some eternal articles handed down?" β
Yang Yun smiled, waved his hand to let Gou Shen sit down, shook his head and said: "Where, my literary talent is not as good as you, and it is useless to study again, Xiaoyou still remember Anding Taishou Sun Huizong?" β
"Oh, remember, we did meet in Chang'an Restaurant that day, what's wrong?"
Yang Yun shook his head and said: "He wrote to me again, a clichΓ©, saying that he wanted me to keep to myself at home, not to talk nonsense, and wait for the Son of Heaven to edict me to enter the court again." β
Gou Shen listened and looked at Yang Yun, Yang Yun sighed and said, "How many people can understand my mind?" Official? I have to mention it again in this life. β
"A few days ago, I said that Zigao came back, and after you, me, and him got together, I was going to Shu County, but now that he is the first Jingzhao Yin, there are a lot of things, and I can only postpone it when I see the matter of drinking."
"Therefore, I am ready to leave Chang'an in the next few days."
Gou Shen stood up and said, "Then Brother Yang is now replying to Sun Taishou?" β
Yang Yun nodded: "I secretly thought to myself, I have spent too much time in this half of my life, and what I do is not what I want to do, I will spend my life as a farmer in the future, and live in idleness, so I am ready to lead a family to go to Shudi, devote myself to the affairs of agriculture, and come back to see you and Zigao in my spare time, that is." β
Gou Shen knew that Yang Yun had made up his mind, he was really a representative of the Western Han Dynasty rapids and retreated, so he said in a deep voice: "As for what will happen to Brother Zi in the future, Gou Shen is weak and doesn't dare to talk much, but now there is one thing I want to ask Brother Zi for help." β
"Heyβ"
Yang Yun frowned and said, "You and I are confidants, if you have something to say, what help?" Your business is my business, but it doesn't hurt to say it! β
Gou Shen bent down and said yes, and asked: "Brother Ziyou is a family, and there are a lot of businesses involved in the clan, and there must be many skilled craftsmen, I don't know, what do you think of the kite I made that day?" β
When Yang Yun heard this, he looked at Gou Shen and asked, "What?" β
Gou Shen couldn't help but smile: "I don't know anything about business, I don't know, this kite is in Chang'an, can it be marketed?" β
Yang Yun smiled: "Actually, as soon as I saw you making that object that day, I had the intention of making it bigger in batches, but when I heard you say that you made it for others, I was embarrassed to ask." β
"There must be a market!"
"I like to play myself, and that's fine."
Hearing Yang Yun say this, Gou Shen nodded: "In this case, Brother Zi will call a craftsman, and I will teach him how to make the kite, and let them do it, that is." β
Gou Shen then said: "Without him, Gou Shen just wants to see if there is a market for this kite, but Gou Shen has no manpower available, and there is no channel to operate, so it can be regarded as borrowing chickens to lay eggs." β
Yang Yun nodded and asked, "I don't know how much this kite will sell?" β
Gou Shen listened and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know this, and after asking my brother to calculate the cost, I will set the price by myself, Gou Shen is on a whim, just to see if this thing can be turned into money, that's all!" β
Yang Yun thought for a while, and said that Gou Shen might be a little embarrassed to see that he gave him a house to live in, so he thought of finding a way to make money for himself, which was considered to compensate himself in disguise.
Where can Yang Yun take advantage of Gou Shen, and make up his mind to give Gou Shen if he makes money, and if he loses it, he won't tell him, besides, where can he lose money? So he called for two clever men.
At this time, there were three types of craftsmen, including wage workers, government workers, and private workers, and those who were skilled in these craftsmen were called "skillful people".
Gou Shen said the utensils and methods of making kites, but I didn't expect these two skillful people to hear it, fiddle with the tools and pierce the skeleton of the kite, and Gou Shen pointed out the details, and the style and specifications are much better and dexterous than Gou Shen's own doing.
Gou Shen sighed in his heart, he just has more than 2,000 years of knowledge than these people, and in actual operation, he is really far worse than others.
After a while, the silk cloth of the kite was also covered, the rope of the traction was tied, and a kite was formed, but it was bare on it, not very good-looking, Yang Yun said: "No wonder you wanted to paint that day, and sure enough, there are beautiful colors and graphics." β
At this time, a slightly older skillful person asked: "Master, the skeleton of this kite is made of bamboo, and it will be deformed after a long time. β
Yang Yun listened and glanced at Gou Shen, and asked the two craftsmen to go down first, Gou Shen said: "They are right, I was in a bit of a hurry that day, in addition, this kite can be tied into various styles, flowers, birds, fish and insects, beautiful and generous, the most important thing is to fly safely, so that you can fly high." β
Yang Yun looked at Gou Shen, shook his head, and Gou Shen said: "Brother Zi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, how can you not say it?" β
Yang Yun replied: "I just think you have too many ideas in your heart, and I can't do it." β
Gou Shen did not take Yang Yun's words and only said: "I think this kite does not take much effort to make, if you feel that you are not worried about the market, please also make a large number of it, because this thing is easy to learn and easy to use, once others see it, it will soon be imitated, if we prepare too little, we will miss the opportunity, become a hammer deal, and the opportunity to make money will be fleeting."
