Coiled on the ground, seven drums lined up beside it, beautiful women dance on the drums, dance without normal long sleeves, crown and belt flying, light willow spring breeze, flying double butterfly drum song.

Dancing for a while, Xu Zhu's lips opened slightly, the sandalwood mouth opened lightly, and the clear sound was like a stream flowing down, flowing in the mountains, shuttling in the forest, sometimes tactful, sometimes excited, flowing into the sea after a hundred turns, and then flew up, flying in the air, walking in the clouds, the song flew higher and higher, straight into the sky, with the beautiful singing gradually rising, the accompanying instruments slowly could not keep up, first the bell, then the ser, the flute, one after another stopped playing. For a time, there was no sound in the hall, only the singing of Xu.

"Congratulations on the new year! I wish the general a long and healthy life! ”

After singing a song, Xu Yingying bowed down. After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear anyone speak, and I couldn't help but feel slightly worried. Xu is very confident in her singing skills, however, not long after she entered the Cheqi General's Mansion, she is not familiar with the general's personality. It is said that he was born in a family of generals, and he is just mediocre about music and rhythm, and has no special hobbies. This is the first performance, whether the general likes it or not, but she is not sure.

"Get up!"

After a long time, Zhang Han reflected. He is not proficient in music, and when he hears this wonderful sound, he can't help but applaud it. It turns out that this treble has its own beauty, and March doesn't know the taste of meat, but it is just like that, Zhang Han is quite unfinished. In his previous life, he always thought that the sopranos were all born in chicken slaughtering and had the power of 'sinking fish and geese'. Come to mind. Zhang Han couldn't help it.

Xu got up and walked closer, and Zhang Han was a little disappointed. Xu Di's singing voice is beautiful, but his appearance is ordinary, and only a pair of eyes are as clear as water on his delicate face. Zhang Han didn't think about it, and he felt that there was a fly in the ointment.

……

"Congratulations Miss Xu!"

"Oh, it's Steward Liu, auspicious New Year!"

The sudden voice startled her for a moment, and she couldn't help but take a step back. Seeing that it was Liu Laifu, the manager of the warehouse, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest casually, and bowed over to say hello.

Speaking of which, Liu Laifu is also a figure in the Cheqi General's Mansion. Liu Laifu's mother is the nurse of General Zhang Han, Liu. With this relationship. Waiting for idle people, he will not pay attention. Moreover, between Mrs. Wang Yan and concubine Liang Ruoruo, Liu Laifu has always been impartial. For people like Xu who were sent in by Liang Hui and obviously had the Liang mark on their bodies, Liu Laifu always kept a certain distance. At this moment, seeing Liu Laifu full of spring breeze, Xu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Xu has a soft voice and elegant manners. It's a different kind of charm. Her white jade hand patted lightly on her towering breasts, and the scenery was touching and beautiful. Liu Laifu couldn't help but look straight. He didn't say anything for a while. Until Xu shyly "hummed" and stretched out his sleeves. Blocking his chest, Liu Laifu reflected.

"Steward Liu came here in a busy schedule, I don't know what to teach?"

Xu is also the daughter of a good family, and when she saw this, her face immediately turned cold. There is no way to explain this, Liu Laifu snorted on his back, and got off the donkey and got down to business:

"Miss Xu is very talented, and the general is very happy. The future is immeasurable......"

Liu Laifu praised a few words, and saw that Xu was completely unmoved. I cried out in my heart -- I was afraid that I would return empty-handed today, so I would not say more.

"Miss Xu doesn't know if she has time, so she took the general's reward!"

"Oh?"

Xu glanced at Liu Laifu suspiciously.

The warehouse manager is a fat shortage, and all kinds of utensils and utensils are inevitably lost, and these things are disposed of by the whole bottle manager. And if you get a reward from the general, you will also be rewarded. Liu Laifu is a human being, he doesn't do anything but do it, and what falls into his hands in a year is not less than 100 gold. However, when did Steward Liu take a fancy to her reward?

"Miss Xu, you won a jackpot today, let's talk as we walk, look ......"

Xu's mind was on his face, and Liu Laifu didn't know. However, the two of them are not standing here either.

It turned out that the wine and food given to Xu Di pepper and cypress wine, Wuxin plate, peach soup, and money and silk, although they were worth a few dollars, were not in Liu Laifu's eyes. However, on a whim, the set of cups and saucers she used in the performance of the drum was not trivial, and it was no wonder that Liu Laifu Baba came up to ask for the reward.

Pepper and cypress wine is the wine soaked in pepper cypress leaves, and the five spices are a platter of garlic, small garlic, leeks, brassica and hu, which are all things that the Han people often eat during the New Year's Day to prolong their lives.

……

The first day of the first lunar month is the day of the three yuan, that is, "the yuan of the day, the yuan of the month, and the yuan of the year", which is second to none and is a unique day, also known as New Year's Day. Every New Year's Day, the ministers have to congratulate the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and call it "Zhengchao". The emperor held a feast to entertain the ministers, and the monarchs and ministers feasted to celebrate the festival. The feast of the court hall is one after another, more than 2,000 stones are gathered together, in the bell and drum noise, the silk and bamboo are deafening, eat and drink a lot, it is considered to wish the New Year's national fortune prosperous.

In the past year, Zhang Han raised his army to the north, sweeping Wuhuan in an instant, Gongsun Zhen raised the county to be like-minded, Han? The nations are determined in a blink of an eye; Returning to the south hunt, Yan Xu bowed his head. Even the impact of the drought locust plague has been contained to a certain extent. Compared with the disaster-stricken states, the land of Qingji can be described as orderly. The price of millet is only about 70 yuan per stone, and the price of chestnut rice is only 100 yuan. Not only did there be no outcasts and plagues, but they took the opportunity to gather a group of homeless people. Zhang Han guided the north, all of them won without fighting, the prestige was long, unparalleled in the world, and it was the emperor who could not be beaten.

On the first day of the first month of the second year of Xingping (195), Zhang Han, who was full of ambition, held a grand banquet to entertain his subordinates. Let's celebrate the festive season together. The banquet somewhat exceeded its duty, and hundreds of people, including civil ministers, military generals, subordinates, staff, Liaodong Gongsun clan, Shanggu Wuhuan lords, and so on, gathered together to praise in unison. In the words of some people, the bombing fully demonstrated Zhang Han's wolf ambition -- of course, this is a digression, and there is no need to dwell on it.

Sleeve dance, towel dance, masquerade dance, sword dance, fairy dance, horn dance, crawler, stacking case, turning stone, swallowing knife and spitting fire and other programs are all temporary choices, all of which are colorful. Naturally, with Xu Zhuyu in front, other programs are inevitably slightly inferior. The banquet started in the early morning and lasted until the afternoon, when Zhang Han was concerned about his family, and then dispersed, and everyone returned happy.

"Yuanxi, Yuanxi!"

Zhang Jian walked out of the hall, and Xi Zhi shouted several times before he stopped him. When I got closer, I was happy:

"Yuanxi, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, why are you still frowning? What do you think? ”

"What else can you think?" Zhang Jian is not in such a good mood as him, "What do you say I can worry about?" ”

"This," Xi Zhicai hesitated and hesitated: "Money? Person? No way? ”

Seeing Zhang Jian nodding again and again, Xi Zhicai was taken aback.

Last year's famine, from Yanzhou and Sili, a total of 380,000 displaced people were collected; Wuhuan, Han, from the three counties of western Liaoning and the Korean Peninsula? 230,000 young slaves; More than 42,000 slaves were bought from Wajima. In this way, more than half of the labour needs are addressed. The tough battle on the Korean Peninsula has passed, and there are still more than 100,000 young and middle-aged people, plus the slaves on Wajima, this year should be about the same.

"Where is it so easy," Zhang Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is only half, and the land of Sanhan is almost the same, and if you can reach 100,000 young people, it will be up to the sky, and I have estimated that there will be at least 400,000 labor shortages by the end of this year." With a population of 3 million, it is difficult to solve the problem in a short period of time......

Besides, the lord likes to build roads. The roads of the five states are to be connected

More than 18,000 miles of roads were necessary to be built, and more than 100,000 other roads were counted. Water conservancy facilities such as dams and ditches, and municipal facilities such as cities are no less than road and bridge construction. Some of these can be put on hold and put aside. In order to strengthen control, roads must be built in the prefecture and newly incorporated places such as Liaodong and Korea, which requires a large number of laborers......

In addition, Wen Zang, last year's sweep of the north and the south were invincible, which is indeed gratifying! But do you know how much military spending was last year? How much does it cost to repair roads for disaster relief? How much tax will be exempted from the disaster? And ......"

“……”

Xi Zhicai was speechless, this, he really hasn't calculated it in detail.

Today, Zhang Han has led the five prefectures of Qinghai, Hebei and Yan, with a total strength of more than 850,000. Of course, the Liaodong soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers are being reorganized, and it is expected that they can be reduced to about 770,000 in the coming year. However, that is a matter of the future, and there are still so many troops at the moment. The daily military expenditure for a year will cost 800,000 yuan and 22 million stone of grain. Moreover, last year, Zhang Han dispatched an army of 180,000 people, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Han for more than half a year. At the same time, 100,000 troops were also dispatched to attack Yanzhou from the north and east, and 70,000 troops were dispatched to fight a big battle with Taoqian in Xuzhou. In this way, Zhang Han's army was as high as 350,000 at most. In addition, there are more than 30,000 in the Navy. As a result, last year's military spending reached an unheard-of 1.67 million dollars.

It is the drama that knows the military spending. But he didn't know anything else.

After muttering for a while, Xi Zhi suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, when there was a famine last year, didn't you sell a large amount of grain stockpiles?"

"Humph!" Zhang Jian was very disdainful.

"Yuanxi, how many gold and five baht were minted last year?"

Xi Zhicai approached and asked in a low voice.

At this moment. Food prices can be described as the benchmark price of prices. Last year, prices soared, and everyone thought that it was a famine, and there were traitors hoarding, which caused food prices to soar, causing prices to rise. However, Xi Zhicai vaguely knew. This is not the case. Zhang Han also knows nothing about economics, but he often mutters that gold and five baht can't be minted casually, and everyone also has a general idea.

"Hehe, Cai Yilang's handwriting is really not ordinary, Wen Zang, I don't know if you have noticed, that lady looks like Sun Xiu of Ruyi Fang......"

Sun Xiu is a famous maiko, and Zhang Jian looks at Sun Xiu left and right, but he refuses to satisfy the curiosity of Xi Zhicai. So far, only four and a half people know how many gold baht land was minted last year. The four people are Zhang Han, Zhang Jian, Xiang Feng and Li Xiaoer, and the other half is Bo Cao engaged in Xu Ling.

Frankly. If we hadn't taken the opportunity to empty the grain stock last year, I am afraid that the price of goods would have risen many times. Fortunately, God makes beauty. He pushed the boat down the river and covered it up. Moreover, he also took the opportunity to solve the problem of grain storage......

Thinking of this, Zhang Jian couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Tuntian basically met the food needs, and Zhang Han got a huge amount of grain and grass from his grandfather, so he was useless. The loss caused by improper storage every year is not a small number, plus the storage costs in between. That's more. Last year, when he caught up with the famine, Zhang Jian frantically minted a large number of gold five baht. As a result, food prices have skyrocketed. In the name of stabilizing grain prices, Zhang Jian seized the opportunity to sell a large amount of grain stockpiles, which not only stabilized grain prices and arbitraged nearly 1 million yuan, but also kept the value of the gold and five baht strong. Without knowing it, the people digested the stored grain and raised a large amount of military spending. Thinking about the gold five baht worth 1.5 million yuan minted last year, Zhang Jian is still holding a cold sweat. Everyone was scolding the profiteers, believing that the rise in prices was caused by a famine, and that after a while, it would come down again. As everyone knows, Zhang Jian is snickering - as soon as the price rises, it will be difficult to fall!

It's a pity that such a proud thing can't be said to be known......

"Yuanxi and Wen Zang are here, let's go to dinner together!"

Zhang Jian was playing haha, trying to divert the topic, and suddenly heard someone talking behind him. Looking back, it was Wu Zifang. Wu Zifang was in charge of Bingzhou alone, and he stayed for more than two years. He has a bold personality and is very popular among the generals, Zhang Lu, Zhang Ying, Wang Wenhua, Tai Shici and others have something to say when they see it, and they don't feel that they are left behind. When they went out, they happened to see Zhang Jian and Xi Zhicai talking, so Wu Zifang said hello.

"It's Boju, how's it going? The body has always been good......"

Zhang Jian didn't say that he would go or not go, and greeted Wu Zifang with a smile - he wouldn't go.

"Ok! The two of you are in good health, congratulations on the New Year! I'm here to greet you two! ”

That is to say, Wu Zifang has long known that Zhang Jian will not go to dinner with him. Of course, it's not that the two have a bad relationship. On the contrary, Zhang Jian's relationship with Wu Zifang and Zhang Huan has always been good. However, Zhang Jian was a cautious man, and he was in charge of political affairs, so he did not want to maintain close contacts with the commander-in-chief......

Just as Zhang Han said, "The cunning rabbit is cooked by the dead lackey, and the birds are hidden with good bows." Throughout the ages, there have been a few monarchs and ministers who have been good at the beginning and the end. There are many reasons for this...... Rather than not succeeding in the future, it is better to prevent the problem as soon as possible, and I hope to have a good ...... with my brothers." This is not unreasonable, and Zhang Jian automatically and consciously reduced the contacts of the generals. To put it bluntly, Zhang Han may have believed in Zhang Jian all his life and has been consistent. However, if Zhang Jian is not cautious, a suspicion can kill him. Zhang Han is talking about the rotation system of the generals' territory, but pushing himself and the other. Zhang Jian has read a lot of history books, how could he not know this truth.

Everyone gathered around each other to greet each other, and after a lot of chaos, it had been a long time. Only then did the crowd recount.

"Gao Zixiao is strict in governing the army and prudent, how could he suffer such a big loss?"

This is talking about Gao Shun, the army did not have smooth sailing, and last year he conquered the north and the south, but he suffered a big loss in Xianbei in Liaoxi.

"Speaking of this, Zixiao is also wronged, and the Wuhuan cavalry has not been reorganized for a long time......"

The new division could not be united, and it was okay to fight the Taiping Fist, but in the event of a sudden attack, there was no general with high prestige and who could suppress the formation, and it was quickly defeated. The chaotic army was defeated and retreated, and Kebi was able to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, driving the defeated army to attack the main formation of the Huwuhuan camp led by Gao Shun. Gao Shun saw that the situation was not good, and while making people shout in unison "go around the camp", he moved ruthlessly. More than 3,000 Wuhuan people died in the battle, but nearly 1,000 of them died at the hands of the Han army. As a result, the camp remained calm, but the Wuhuan people scattered a lot. After the war, as soon as the count was counted, the Wuhuan people ran away with death, and there were more than 7,000 less. Later, of course, seventeen or eight hundred people returned. Since then, Gao Shun has fought steadily and won successive battles, but he can't hide this defeat.

Tai Shi Ci naturally didn't say it thoroughly, but the people present were either generals or top wise men, and he understood everything. It is said that this is Zhang Han's handling error. The newly organized army should not have gone far out of the fortress, and since Liaoxi Xianbei has retreated thousands of miles, it is better to be poor and not chase. Kebi can hide for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime. It is impossible for the Xianbei of Liaoxi to leave the fertile pastures empty all the time - over time, the growth of other small tribes will threaten the Xianbei of Liaoxi. Zhang Han ordered Gao Shun to lead the army to conquer Xianbei in Liaoxi, and the generals below were like coals of fire, and Gao Shun couldn't suppress it, so he was forced to go out to fight, and there was no big defeat, which was a fluke.

Everyone knows this, and if it is not Gao Shun, even Zhang Han knows it - Zhang Han has always believed in rewards and punishments This time Gao Shun returned defeated, and he did not punish him, but comforted him gently, but

You know, no one will say it. Only Wang Wenhua was young and vigorous, but he was pulled by Zhang Ying. For a while, everyone didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Tai Shi Ci is also a clever person, and seeing this situation, he turned to talk about the war in Samhan. This time, Tai Shici escorted a batch of slaves and booty back, which coincided with Zhang Han's New Year's Day banquet.

"When we attacked Baekje, the king of Baekje sent an envoy to ask us why we attacked for no reason......

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Hah! What is there to say about this, let's talk about it! When we captured Baekje, we told the king of Baekje, saying, 'Han? Wrapping up the Han people, disobeying Wang Hua'Yunyun, you don't know, the face of the King of Baekje is called good-looking......"

Tai Shici's words caused a burst of laughter.

Between countries, that's what it is. Whoever is strong likes to take advantage of others and get something for nothing. This is the case in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Huaxia has expanded from a small place to a big country of 10,000 miles, and it will never be benevolent, righteous and moral.

"By the way, Yuanxi, I just heard you talk about Sun Xiu, what's wrong with Sun Xiu?"

Sun Xiu's dance is known as a must in the land of Qingji, and there are many people who like her, but I haven't heard of anyone who has succeeded. For famous women, men are also quite gossipy. As soon as Wu Zifang asked, everyone pricked up their ears.

"It's okay! Boju, on my set of plates, there are ladies, one of whom looks very much like Sun Xiu, you say, will Old Man Cai ...... with Sun Xiu?"

"Hey, hey. I think maybe Old Man Cai is also a wonderful person......"

Cai is not only a good handwriter and a beautiful painter, he is one of the famous painters of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also an excellent writer. In "Concord Marriage", he described the newlywed cave room as "the powder is relaxed, and the hair is messy", which is recognized as a wonderful word. When everyone talked about this, their smiles were a little obscene. There is no more celebrity demeanor.

……

The sunlight shines through the milky white porcelain plate, the whole porcelain plate is transparent and crystalline, flashing with charming light, Zhang Han is lying on Ye Qinna's lap, admiring:

"It's beautiful! This color, this texture, is as ...... as ivory"

After a simple ceremony. Ye Qinna is officially Zhang Han's concubine, and it has been almost half a year since she entered the General's Mansion. She is still young and has not yet completed the roundhouse. However, the closeness to Zhang Han has gradually become natural. She looked sideways, and saw her portrait on the plate, and her heart was happy, but she was inevitably a little shy, and the girl's mind was always the same. He casually took a piece of verdant vinegared garlic and stuffed it into Zhang Han's mouth, and the sour and spicy taste filled his mouth.

"Eat yours!"

Ignoring Ye Qinna's coquettishness, Zhang Hanyun sucked her fingers. The rough coating of her tongue scratched her delicate skin. Ye Qinna's body trembled, and then she laughed "giggle~". Flew up like a flock of little pigeons.

"This pearl porcelain is not easy to come from, so take out a random set. It's all worth a thousand gold......"

Zhang Han slowly talked about the origin of this pearl porcelain.

Pearl porcelain is porcelain made by adding pearl powder when firing porcelain. Pearl porcelain is lightweight, fine and hard, not easy to wear and break, and the milky white translucent texture is as elegant as ivory. It took the fleet three years to scrape the ground from the South China Sea to Wajima to collect 27 pearls. Although it is not a good bead, it can't hold a large amount, and it takes a lot of effort to collect so many beads. The firing of pearl porcelain is not easy, and the more pearl powder is contained in the raw materials. the greater the shrinkage; The greater the shrinkage, the more likely it is to twist and break. Contains half pearl powder porcelain. During the firing process, the shrinkage rate is more than 20%. Despite numerous experiments with beef bone meal, the success rate is still not high. It took three years to make more than 370 sets of porcelain, and only 42 sets were successful. Cai claimed to have worked hard and left six sets; six sets each for parents and grandfathers; Twelve sets were rewarded to Zhang Jian, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Huan, Xiang Feng and others, and Zhang Han only had twelve sets left in his hands......

"Hmph, that's a reward for a singer!"

“……”

This, haha, Zhang Han casually rewarded it, but he didn't think much about it. No matter how good it is, it's just a plaything, Zhang Han is a layman, if it's really a daughter, he is reluctant to reward it.

Eleven Lang rode off the horse and swept quickly in front of him, attracting the attention of the two, and Zhang Han was dumbfounded. Eleven Lang waved a long feather in his hand, which was colorful, more than five feet long, and was dragged behind him like a rainbow. A tall, ferocious long-tailed chicken cooed and chased after Eleven's horse. The beautiful tail feathers of the long-tailed chicken are scattered, and it is obvious that it has been poisoned by Eleven Lang.

Shiyi Lang is Zhang Handi's son, he is only a little over five years old this year, and he is very naughty. What is the fruit of the horse? The local specialty, the adult horse is only three feet tall (73 cm), and it can be used to descend from the fruit tree, so it is called the fruit dismounting. In the New Year, each of Zhang Han's minor children dismounted a fruit as a New Year's gift, which was extremely popular. The long-tailed chicken is produced by Ma Han, and the tall long-tailed chicken is a few points taller than the fruit dismounting. The enraged long-tailed chicken chased after Eleven's horse, and was about to catch up with him, but at this moment, Shiro rode off the horse and staggered past him, only to hear a mournful cry of the long-tailed chicken, and was poisoned again......

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this long-tailed chicken is about to become a tailless chicken. Stretched down and lay down on Ye Qinna's lap again, Zhang Han casually rubbed his face against her strong thighs, which felt really good!

Ye Qinna's face was flushed with shame, and she raised a chestnut the size of a fist and smashed it on Zhang Han's head 'viciously'. She lifted it high and lowered it gently, but it was like a stroke.

People, they are all cheap embryos, and what they can't get is always the best. Ye Qinna has a simple personality and doesn't have much scheming, but Zhang Han stays with her, but it is rare to relax, and she doesn't have to think too much.

"How's your mother doing? Is typhoid fever cured? If there is anything missing in the house, you are welcome......"

"That's it! The home is so nice that you don't have to worry about ......"

Ye Qinna's mother's health had long since recovered, the rewarded fields had also been harvested, and the family lacked nothing,......, she whispered what she had seen and heard at home. In general, the lives of the adults of Shanggu Wuhuan, and even ordinary people, are not bad. Although the horses can no longer run wild, life is generally better than before. Naturally, fights and quarrels are inevitable, and officials will often favor Han people in the process of dealing with them, however, in the past, it is rare to turn black and white upside down.

As she spoke, Ye Qinna talked about something. It turned out that there was a family of Wuhuan people in Shanggu who married the local Han people, hoping to ask for the blessing of the difficult building. This is a good thing, Zhang Han listened to it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

Go back and check, if the two are willing, he will also give blessings, there is no better way to integrate. When the time comes, the newlyweds are to be given 500 pieces of money and exempted from taxes for that year as a sign of blessing and encouragement. Well, take this as a rule......

The warm sunlight sprinkled on Zhang Han's body, warm. The first day of the new year was a good day, and this year is sure to be an auspicious year. In the rambling reverie, Zhang Han fell asleep.

Happy New Year! Happiness and good health!

ps: The white embroidered pig is on tiptoe. Quietly walked by......

I'm really not good at writing a specific chapter, and this chapter was written for three days, 2,000 words a day, which was really fast, and it was finally completed in the middle of the night last night. As a result, I couldn't get into the author's backstage, and I don't know what's going on, this is the third time, and it's all in the middle of the night. Greetings to everyone in their old age!
