Chapter 142: The Wind Rises in Kanto
It is said that Liu Rong presented a new type of farm tools, and the Shang Fang and Gongguan of the Han Dynasty began to get busy.
Countless craftsmen followed Ding Shu to learn the production process, and then began to promote it on a large scale.
These agricultural tools were first used in the official fields of the Inner History region.
At this time, the Han Dynasty had just been founded for only a few decades, and the imperial court had a large amount of land resources in its hands, and was the largest landlord in the country.
These vast areas of government farmland, like state farms, give these new agricultural tools a stage to play a role.
The experiment worked well.
The efficiency of sowing has skyrocketed, and the time for sowing to be completed has been greatly earlier than in previous years.
All this proves that these agricultural tools are effective.
Since this year, Liu Rong's agricultural tools have officially stepped into the stage of history, and gradually spread to the whole country, setting off an agricultural revolution in Dahan.
In a sense, Dahan's agriculture embarked on the road of mechanization.
It's just that these machines are a bit old.
As the initiator of all this, Liu Rong has received great attention.
The people of Guanzhong called him a sage, and the officials of the DPRK and China praised him for his intelligence.
Liu Rong's limelight was unmatched for a while.
。。。。。。
Liu Rong's spring breeze was proud, which naturally stung a group of people, especially his younger brothers and gangs who coveted the position of the crown prince.
Liu Che's mother, Wang Huan, is one of them.
She was very dissatisfied with Liu Rong's ambition, and always wanted to find an opportunity to hit Liu Rong, thinking that her son Liu Che would increase his hope of becoming the crown prince.
As we all know, Liu Che was the favorite son of Emperor Jing of Han.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty once mentioned on more than one occasion that "Che'er is like me", which has the posture of Liu Bang's favor for Liu Ruyi in the past.
During this time, Liu Che showed his intelligence because of a trivial incident and won the praise of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Here's the thing.
There was an official named Yan Qing in the court, and his wife Li Shiwei left him with two sons, that is, twins, in one day.
The two brothers were born at the same time, and how to distinguish the size of the two became a problem.
Yan Qingnai is a marquis, called the Marquis of Ximen, the eldest son can inherit his title, and the younger son has nothing.
Therefore, the stakes are high.
It is said that the first born is the eldest brother, and the second born is the second brother, which is the same way as the later generations.
Some people also say that those who are heavy are brothers, and those who are small are brothers, which is distinguished by weight.
There are also people who are even more desperate, saying that it is the younger brother who was born first, and the elder brother who is born later.
The reason is that it is born later, indicating that it is located above when it is in the mother's womb; Born first, it means that it is located below when it is in the mother's womb.
The upper is respectful, and the lower is inferior, so as to judge the relationship between the two.
The list goes on and on.
This matter has spread far and wide in Chang'an and has become the talk of the streets.
There was a lot of discussion about who should be the elder brother and who should be the younger brother, which was very hot.
Later, this matter spread to the palace and to the ears of Emperor Jing of Han.
At that time, Emperor Jing of Han was in Mrs. Wang's bedroom, so he took this question to teach Liu Che.
Unexpectedly, Liu Che analyzed thoroughly and said the Tao.
He quoted scriptures and explained from many angles that the first born was the elder brother.
When Emperor Jing of Han heard this, he was very happy.
Although this matter is simple, Liu Che's knowledge is not simple.
At a young age, he is proficient in various classics, and it can be said that he is an unborn genius.
Looking at Liu Che, Emperor Han Jing nodded with satisfaction.
Among his sons, Liu Che is smart.
。。。。。。
In mid-February, King Liang's son entered Beijing.
Previously, in order to win over King Liang, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty gave his five sons the title of Hou.
Liu Mai, as the eldest son of King Liang, took the place of several younger brothers and came to Chang'an to thank him.
This is also common sense.
Liu Rong is very unfamiliar with the name Liu Mai.
In his previous life, although he had read a lot of history books, he had no impression of Liu Mai's small role in one or two sentences.
In this life, although the two are cousins, one is far away in the Liang Kingdom, and the other has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and they have not met much since they were children.
Therefore, the two can be said to be strangers who are related by blood.
This time, Liu bought into Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Dou was very happy.
The next generation is the closest, and Liu Mai doesn't come often, so the Empress Dowager Dou is very good to him.
Not only did he stay in Changxin Palace, but also set up a banquet to entertain him, and invited Emperor Jing of Han, King Liang, Princess Guantao, Liu Rong and other princes and princesses.
It's like another family reunion.
On the party, Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Jing of Han sat on it.
Liu Wu and Guan Tao sat on both sides, and Liu Rong waited at the back of the shift.
Empress Dowager Dou looked at the room full of filial sons and grandsons, and smiled from ear to ear.
。。。。。。
She brought up the old matter again, and once again talked about Liu Mai's marriage problem.
She said to Liu Wu: "Xiaomai is not young now, he is fifteen years old, and it is time to think about marriage." You have to be a father to be more attentive, you know? ”
Liu Wu nodded yes, and then said that his son was still young, and it was not too late to think about it after the crown ceremony.
When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she disagreed and said, "How can this be done?" Hey, forget it, it doesn't seem to work on your father, and my old lady has to go out in person. ”
He said to Liu Mai: "You are in Chang'an these days, pay more attention, and fall in love with the girl of that family, just tell your grandmother, I will be a matchmaker for you." ”
Liu Mai was a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to refuse, and he didn't agree well, so he only responded vaguely.
Subsequently, Empress Dowager Dou mentioned the family affairs of Liu Rong and Chen Ajiao, and said that she would give them a late marriage as soon as possible.
She can't wait to hold her grandson.
Chen Ajiao also participated in this party, and was said to be shy by her grandmother, so she threw herself into the arms of her mother, Princess Guantao, and did not dare to raise her head.
Liu Rong is very calm.
In his opinion, it was a matter of time.
The relationship between the two is very good, and the marriage will also help him in the future.
Empress Dowager Dou and the others can arrange it whenever and whenever they want.
He looked at Liu Mai, who had never seen him a few times, and said:
"Brother, if you have any needs in Chang'an, you can tell your brother directly, don't be polite. Do you have any hobbies on a daily basis? ”
After all, they are all their own brothers, and they still have to say kind words.
This Liu will be the king of Xiaoliang after he buys it, and there is no problem with Liu Rong pulling it over.
"When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I like to play six games." Liu Mai replied.
"Isn't that a coincidence?" Liu Rong laughed, "I also like to play Liubo chess, and I have won the true inheritance of my father." It's okay another day, just come to me and let's have a discussion. ”
Hearing this, Liu Mai smiled and nodded.
In this way, the banquet was carried out in a cheerful atmosphere.
At the same time, Liu Fei's envoys were departing from Wu to make contact with the vassal states of Kwantung.
The sky of the Han Dynasty is about to change.
