015: Happy Western Han life
"Let me change my husband's clothes."
Liu Jian looked at the little girl in front of him who was hanging her head and had only one side with her before, and she had the urge to turn around and leave, but her legs couldn't move as if they were nailed to the ground.
Liu Jian stood motionless, at the mercy of the girl.
The girl in front of her is named Zhang Xiaomei, as the name suggests, she is Zhang Daniu's younger sister. Liu Jian had met her before coming to Chang'an, and only remembered that she was a very handsome and very shy girl. Zhang Lizheng, who was pulled out to meet him by Zhang Daniu's father that day, hid behind the door and twisted and pinched for a long time before he walked out, a little face was red like a red Fuji and could drip water, which made people feel the urge to bite her face when they saw it.
Two days ago, Zhang Daniu went back to Xinfeng County and told Liu Jian that the reason was that he wanted to go home to see his father. Of course, Liu Jian couldn't stop it, but what Liu Jian never expected was that when Zhang Daniu came back, he not only came back by himself, but also brought his sister Zhang Xiaomei with him.
So, Zhang Xiaomei appeared in Liu Jian's room tonight.
Can Liu Jian refuse?
Yes, but in that case, neither Zhang Daniu nor Zhang Lizheng can feel at ease, and Liu Jian's reputation will also be affected.
Liu Jian really never thought that he would encounter such a moral dilemma. Women send you to sleep, you sleep you are a good person, if you pretend to be a gentleman and don't sleep, then you are an ungrateful bastard.
Liu Jian didn't want to become an ungrateful bastard, so he could only sleep with Zhang Xiaomei.
Of course, the actual reason is because Zhang Xiaomei is not ugly, not only is it not ugly but also very delicate, and the shy Zhang Xiaomei has the style of a small jasper. If Zhang Xiaomei really grows up to be the kind of saltless Dong Shi Zhong Wuyan, even if she is an ungrateful bastard, Liu Jian will definitely not sleep.
So to put it bluntly, Liu Jian ate Zhang Xiaomei with a lustful heart, but he still had to be hypocritical in his heart.
When ** also set up the archway, shameless!
So, it was the first cry of the chicks, the red waves, and harmony.
Liu Jian's life in the Western Han Dynasty was calm and peaceful. and Cheng Caiwei and Zhang Xiaomei's shameless and shameless snapping is Liu Jian's main job, and the secondary work (reversed) is to practice the theory of building a strong country in Shanglin Yuan.
After getting the soap and toilet water, it didn't take long for Liu Jian to re-copy the local oil extraction method in Huizhou.
This 'invention'...... Well, before Liu Jian, no one really thought that oil could be squeezed out of soybeans, so Liu Jian naturally became the inventor of vegetable oil.
This invention was highly valued by Emperor Liu Qi.
As we all know, people are omnivores, and it is not enough to just eat vegetables like cattle and sheep. Especially for soldiers, it is important to have an adequate supply of oil.
Otherwise, a single night blindness can nullify the entire combat effectiveness of a group of battle-hardened soldiers.
As a militaristic country that inherited most of the Qin system, the Han Dynasty had an extremely profound understanding of this aspect, so the soldiers of the Han Dynasty generally did not have night blindness. But for the Emperor of Chang'an, it was obviously not so easy to supply enough oil to the huge army, including the Great Wall Corps. Even without taking into account road wear and tear and the preservation and deterioration of grease, the amount of grease needed per year is astronomical.
There are so many wild beasts in Shanglin Yuan, even rare and exotic beasts, but Shanglin Yuan even raises wild boars, and even if the palace concubine was almost bitten to death by wild boars, which led to a major event that led to a large number of heads falling to the ground, the amount of wild boars raised in Shanglin Yuan has not decreased at all.
A very important role is to supply the Great Wall Corps as a reserve of oil, otherwise where would Shaofu get so much oil to transport to the border every year?
The emergence of soybean oil undoubtedly solved a big problem for Liu Qi, and its effect was not much better than the Guisu method that Chao Cuo had offered at the beginning.
At the same time, Liu De's idea of adding soybeans to the grain protection price was also easily passed by his cheap dad.
Before the advent of soybean oil, beans were just a lowly multigrain that was generally mixed with soybean and fed to livestock. The people of Guanzhong will never eat soybeans unless they really haven't eaten it, after all, this thing tastes bad and always farts. But after the advent of soybean oil, the status of soybean in the emperor's mind has been elevated to the same level as corn. The people of Guanzhong have gone to plant millet, how can they do it if they don't grow beans? If you don't grow soybeans, where does the soybean oil come from, and how to solve the problem of eating oil in the Great Wall Corps?
So Liu De's emperor father waved his pen and included soybeans in the grain protection price.
The ministers of the court and even the people of Guanzhong are naturally the sons of heaven and saints. Liu Qi naturally wanted to reward Liu Jian, the hero who "invented" soybean oil.
Chao Cuo may be dissatisfied, after all, the inclusion of soybeans in the grain protection price policy will have an impact on the 'Guisu Law' that Chao Cuo once proposed, and undermine Chao Cuo's authority.
But Chao Cuo is the Minister of Legalism. The characteristic of the Legalist minister is that everything is supreme. In addition, Chao Cuo's entire mind at this time was focused on cutting the domain, as long as he didn't interfere with the cutting of the domain, Guisu Law or something...... Pinched his nose and recognized it.
The emperor decreed that Liu Jian should be the head of the left house, 800 acres of land, and various other miscellaneous rewards such as money and silk were thrown to Liu Jian. At the same time, the soybean oil law (the official name of soybean oil extraction) is strictly kept secret, and it seems that this Ming Jun wants to carry out the monopoly operation to the end.
The emperor's reward further increased Liu Jian's prestige, and Liu De's title became the highest among the prince's group of officials. At the same time, the emperor's reward is often not just a fundraiser for others, but also a sign of optimism.
Liu Jian suddenly became a popular person among the prince's ministers Liu De, and the court became even hotter. Even Zhang Tang, Ji Di, and Ju Meng have become much more friendly towards Liu Jian.
The only one who didn't come to visit Liu Jian was Yan Yi.
It's not because Yan Yi is not a gentleman enough, and he is jealous that Liu Jian took away his first place.
Liu Jian believes that if nothing else is mentioned, the two things of qi and discipline must be very sufficient.
The key reason is that the essay he wrote during the first round of examinations was inexplicably leaked, which caused an uproar.
Others are okay, they can communicate with Liu Jian as if nothing happened. Especially Comrade Yan, the master's father, after reading Liu Jian's policy article calling the Zongheng family the tongue of the country, can use the power of four taels to turn a thousand catties, and reverse the yin and yang and vertical and horizontal are indispensable, he directly regarded Liu Jian as his confidant and friend, and he would come to visit Liu Jian to discuss the study of vertical and horizontal with Liu Jian every three or five times.
But Yan Yi can't do it.
Because there is not a single word in Liu Jian's entire article mentioning Confucianism.
In the eyes of some, this failure to mention it represents Liu Jian's attitude towards Confucianism. After all, Liu Jian's article even mentions the novelist who is not in the stream, and Liu Jian praised them when he mentioned the hundred schools of thought, but he only omitted Confucianism.
Therefore, before Liu Jian's attitude towards Confucianism as a whole is determined, Yan Yi will never be able to meet Liu Jian.
Because at this moment, Yan Yi represents more than just himself.
In a sense, it can be said that Yan Yi is the representative of the Confucian forces placed around Liu De. Naturally, he has a clear political label that belongs to Confucianism. While this brought him Confucian help, it also inevitably limited a series of his actions.
However, Liu Jian didn't care.
Who is Yan Yi?
Have a fart relationship with me?
I just want to live a rotten life of eating and sleeping every day, and by the way, from time to time I pretend to be a **brush up on popularity, and when the cooling time is up, I will open the door and go home directly.
Does the Confucian attitude matter?
As for why he didn't write Confucianism in the first place?
Of course, it is to increase popularity, and not writing Confucianism will definitely cause controversy, and if there is controversy, there will be a lot of people to talk about, and some people will talk about it, and if there is a discussion, it will increase its popularity.
Such a simple calculation is really nothing compared to the hype of later generations.
But in such a simple Western Han Dynasty, it was surprisingly very effective.
