Chapter 242: Weaver Niang

Regarding Zhang Anshi's 'divine assist', Yang Chuan didn't say much, but his heart was actually very warm.

So, he made up his mind to be cowardly to Zhang Anshi in the future...... Let's be harsher.

"Second aunt, it's a trivial matter to build a small courtyard for you in Tai Academy," Yang Chuan helped Princess Nangong rub her extremely cold hands, and said with a warm smile: "However, a few of us have said that this matter has not been counted." ”

Princess Nangong nodded: "This matter, this palace has its own opinions." ”

Yang Chuan smiled: "Can you tell me first, how do you plan to do it?" ”

Princess Nangong said: "It's very simple, this palace wrote a letter to Liu Yu, saying that this palace remembered the 100 palace maids who died tragically, and wanted to do something to collect some homeless girls and teach them some spinning and weaving skills to comfort their souls in the sky; Then, the palace proposed that letting the queen come forward could be regarded as giving the emperor a step down;

The emperor's thoughts, this palace can roughly guess one or two, the reason why he handed over the Tai Academy to a fifteen-year-old boy is naturally to save the interests of the fisherman, and this palace is just to make the water more turbid......"

Yang Chuan thought about it very seriously, and felt that this matter might really be feasible, and said, "Then, what can the queen teach when she comes forward?" ”

He muttered something in his heart.

Queen Wei Zifu, after all, is a little dancer in Princess Pingyang's mansion, so she can't let the queen run to the Tai Academy and teach those little women to dance, right?

This matter has to be guarded against.

Don't save your own good intentions and think about protecting those bean sprouts for the time being, but in the end, when those bean sprouts grow up, they will turn a good 'Dahan Women's Vocational and Technical College' into a Dahan song and dance troupe where the powerful choose their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law......

"This matter must be discussed with you, the Taixue Sacrificial Wine," Princess Nangong joked, "After all, you can't teach them to play the piano, sing, and dance." ”

Yang Chuan hurriedly said: "What the second aunt said is right. ”

Princess Nangong seemed to guess Yang Chuan's thoughts, and asked meaningfully: "Then tell me, the queen and the palace, what should I teach those women?" ”

Yang Chuan said: "Mulberry crops are the foundation of my Han Dynasty, and I can consider letting them learn some skills of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, spinning and weaving; Of course, it is okay to teach them some life-saving healers. ”

Princess Nangong said: "What else?" ”

Yang Chuan: "In my opinion, in fact, we don't need to be greedy, and it should be a more correct way to cultivate some female doctors who are rejuvenated with wonderful hands;

As far as I know, the inner government under the Jiuqing of the Han Dynasty has a Tai Hospital, with the Tai Doctor Ling Cheng as the chief, and there are very detailed official positions of doctors such as the Tai Doctor Supervisor, the Attendant Doctor, the Shang Drug Supervisor, and the Medicine Chief;

However, the Tai Hospital has always regarded itself as high, and it is rare to see other people except for checking the pulse and seeing the sick of the royal family;

Such a hospital cannot be said to be self-contained, but it is inevitable that a broom cherishes itself;

In this way, after a long time, the Tai Hospital is almost exclusively for the royal family, and the world calls it the imperial hospital and the imperial doctor, so as to show the royal majesty; In fact, there is some irony in it. ”

There were some things he didn't dare to say.

That is, this world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of the emperor's family.

Princess Nangong pondered for a long time before she sighed: "In the past many years, you Yang Chuan is the first person who dares to speak so outright. ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "Isn't this a homely conversation and gossip with the second aunt, but there will be a lot of nonsense; If you are talking to outsiders in the court or to outsiders, such disrespectful words are not dared to be uttered even if you are killed. ”

Princess Nangong smiled and said, "Okay, the palace already understands what you mean, so you don't have to worry about how to do it......"

……

The matter of Tai Academy is finally a bit eyebrow-raising.

There are more than 3,000 catties of gold, about 200,000 cattle, sheep and livestock, 120,000 catties of fine iron, and countless grains, which are estimated to feed 30,000 elite soldiers for two or three years.

I have to say that the big dogs of the Han Empire really have a deep family background, so they can build a large palace with just a pull, let alone a Tai Academy.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

There are a few twists and turns, but it's not big, it's nothing more than throwing a few small stones into the Weishui and making a few ripples, but let the waves behind rush away, and then it will be silent.

That's right.

Things are different, just like the ingredients are different, and how to cook them is actually very particular; This is like a storyteller telling a story, there must always be some ups and downs, foreshadowing, transitions and high~tides.

When he started to calculate, Yang Chuan set the tone for this matter: push the boat down the river, use strength to fight, try not to mix, and try to do half push.

Real cooking skills, pay attention to a 'accurate, stable, ruthless', the judgment of the food texture must be accurate, the cooking technique must be stable, and the start must be ruthless.

For example, this Tai Academy, which is the world's first-class ingredient, is like a fat puffer fish in the spring, the meat is delicious, but at the same time, its liver and other places are highly poisonous.

When cooking this kind of ingredients, the technique must be steady, the fast is fast, the slow is slow, the fish is half alive if you owe a little heat, and the bottom of your hand shakes slightly, and the fish is broken and rotten, which is a tyrannical thing.

As for the word 'ruthless'!

Well, it's just a matter of meaning and not being able to speak......

Yang Chuan was lying on the mazhazi, drinking a bowl of newly concocted 'tartary buckwheat tea', smacking the bitter and sweet wheat fragrance with endless aftertaste, and he wanted to moan a few times comfortably.

In order to have a certain 'right to speak' in the Han Empire, the princes, magnates, officials, scholars, and businessmen of the whole country moved when they heard the wind, and they had already fought in private, and the appearance was very ugly.

During this time, the Yang fief was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of gorgeously dressed nobles, some of whom came to give gifts, some of whom went to the door with a trust, and some who came from thousands of miles to give ......

Ahem, this bad social atmosphere does not have to be stopped, but it must be severely criticized!

In order to maintain his character of 'only greedy for money and not lustful', Yang Chuan smiled at gold, grain, cattle and sheep, fine iron and so on.

Then, as soon as it changed hands, Zhang Anshi was asked to register all the gifts and put them into the 'logistics reserve' of the No. A field battalion.

If you want to be a good cook, the first important thing is to keep your two hands from being oily and fishy, otherwise, your hands will be slippery, and you won't even be able to turn a wok, let alone turn the world upside down.

As for the little women, they all declined.

Just kidding, is this the kind of man who can withstand temptation? Really!

In the area of Chang'an City, gossip gradually spread that 'Taixue sacrificial wine does not like women', which hurt Yang Chuan's reputation again.

So, after someone 'suddenly realized', he carefully collected a few beautiful young men comparable to Dong Yan and others, dressed them up, and sent them over......

……

After being promoted and making a fortune, Yang Chuan's life basically did not change.

Farming, teaching, and beating princesses are naturally his daily routine.

Since Princess Nangong was determined to set up a 'Dahan Women's Health School', she began to get busy, writing letters to Liu Che and meeting with the noble ladies from Chang'an City, she was simply an overtime maniac.

Every day at dinnertime, she would take a walk in the vegetable garden, flower garden, and medicine field accompanied by Liu Man, Naren Tuoya, and Zhang Anshi, blowing the spring wind.

Princess Nangong's body recovered quickly, and now, her body is much stronger, and on her face and body, she can finally see what a woman in her forties should look like.

This made Yang Chuan very happy.

So, let this Han princess work more overtime and do a little more work?

Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to find something for the old lady to toss, maybe it will be good for her physical recovery......

Just as Yang Chuan was figuring out how to make Princess Nangong do something more, the Zhuo family, who had not heard from her for more than half a year, came.

This woman.

When Zhuo walked into the courtyard gate of Yang Chuan's house, Yang Chuan was suddenly stunned and couldn't help asking, "Aunt Zhuo, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhuo looked very haggard, as if he was a teenager old, and his once extremely beautiful and supple green hair was mixed with a lot of white hair, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were also obvious.

What especially stunned Yang Chuan was that the woman's two crescent-like eyes no longer had the brilliance and charm of the past, and the whole person looked very depressed.

"Xiao Langjun can still remember Aunt Zhuo, which makes the old man quite pleased," Zhuo's voice also changed, with a hint of the vicissitudes of the old woman, "What, look at your expression, I don't know you?" ”

Zhuo's walked up to Yang Chuan, bowed, and said indifferently: "Zhuo's five blacksmith shops and two mines are now handed over to the inner government; Tianfu was sold to the great farmer Ling Sanghong sheep for a price of three hundred gold; At the beginning, all the dowries given to me by my father and brother were taken by Sima Xiangru to buy favors and buy a house to support concubines.

My Zhuo clan has no savings, and I don't have the face to go back to Shuzhong.

Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, I, Zhuo Wenjun, came here this time to say goodbye to your old friend, and in addition, I solemnly say I'm sorry, I Zhuo Wenjun can't afford to pay back your more than 100 truckloads of pickles and mustards. ”

Zhuo's words made Yang Chuan stunned for a while, and it took a while to react: "This woman, shouldn't she want to live...... Right? ’

Why does it sound like he's arranging the aftermath?

"It's just some money and things, if it's gone, it's gone," Yang Chuan pointed to the circle chair across the table, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhuo, sit down first, I'll invite you to dinner today." ”

Zhuo confessed his guilt and sat down, but he didn't say anything for a while.

Yang Chuan stared at Zhuo Shi very seriously, and suddenly said, "Sima Xiangru really doesn't want you anymore?" ”

Zhuo Shi nodded, then shook his head again, and said very calmly: "Actually, it's not that who doesn't want whom, but that the road of these two people has come to an end, and they suddenly feel bored." ”

Yang Chuan said quietly: "In order to get a place in the Tai Academy, so that Sima Xiangru can teach his bullshit rhetoric, he actually asked for an emperor's holy decree and ran to my Zhuangzi to take a relationship, and let me go out of the gate directly." ”

Zhuo Shi sighed and said: "Sima Xiangru is greedy for glory and wealth, there is nothing wrong with this, what is wrong is that he has always regarded himself too highly, and he is a little eager for quick success......"

Yang Chuan smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the spring is so bright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things, right?"

After all, the person who asked you to hand over the blacksmith shop and mine to the emperor is me Yang Chuan, and now that you are so down, I am also at fault, Aunt Zhuo, you will live in my Zhuangzi for a while, I will lend you a sum of money, and you can continue to do business. ”

Zhuo shook his head and said gloomily: "No, Zhuo Wenjun has his own place to go." ”

Yang Chuan said calmly: "You have a place to fart, the world is so big, there is a place for you?" In the past, you had money in your hands, and Chang'an City had also experienced the changes, can you calm down and plant a few acres of land and spend the rest of the year? ”

Zhuo was silent.

"Don't worry, I, Yang Chuan, have calculated you, and this time, the right should be the compensation I made for you," Yang Chuan groaned a few times, and suddenly asked: "Aunt Zhuo, do you have a craftsman who understands Shu brocade?" ”

Zhuo Shi was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Do you want to plant mulberry and raise silkworms?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded, and said: "The climate of Guanzhong is warm and rainy, which is very suitable for sericulture, but unfortunately, I don't know anything about this matter, and I have been searched, but there has been no information;

It's just that I heard that there should be masters in this area in the land of Shuzhong, so it depends on whether Aunt Zhuo can help. ”

Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "I won't handle the sericulture business myself, but I know a person, she should be able to help you do this, but ......"

Zhuo Shi wanted to speak and stopped, looking quite embarrassed.

Yang Chuan Wenyan asked, "But what?" ”

Zhuo Shi hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, her temper is a bit strange, and her identity is a bit special...... Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, haven't you heard of the most famous weaver girl in Chang'an Township? ”

Yang Chuan frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts: "The most famous weaver girl in Chang'an Township?" ”

"Aunt Zhuo, if you have anything to say, I have been to Chang'an City two or three times in total, how do I know whose Weaver Niang is famous?"

The women of the Han Empire have always had the tradition and craftsmanship of spinning and weaving, which Yang Chuan knows, and even in the bedrooms of Princess Pingyang and Princess Nangong, there is a spinning wheel.

It is said that when Emperor Gaozu was the emperor, Lu Hougui was the queen, and some of the fabrics needed in the palace were still for her and the harem concubines and palace maids, but they had to weave the cloth by themselves.

For this tradition, Yang Chuan also thought about it, thinking that the country is too poor, although it is one aspect, and more importantly, it is also due to the blood gene of 'male farmer and female weaver'.

Because in the two years after he returned to the Han Dynasty, he found that even after experiencing the rule of Wenjing and the country's warehouses were full, the women of the royal family and the powerful families still retained the habit of spinning and weaving.

However, time has passed, and today's noble weaving is more of a symbolic meaning.

For example, Princess Pingyang, all year round, it is estimated that she will not be able to spin three or two feet of cloth......

Seeing Yang Chuan's somewhat confused appearance, Zhuo Shi smiled and said, "It's not anyone's Weaver Niang, but, her name was originally Weaver Niang." ”

Yang Chuan was stunned: "There is also a person named Weaver Niang?" ”

After speaking, he couldn't help muttering: "Why don't you call it the Weaver Girl......"

Zhuo Shi smiled and said: "Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun is really right, she was originally called Weaver Girl, and later, because of the harassment of the prodigal sons in Chang'an City, she changed her name to Weaver Niang;

By the way, Cao Xiang once harassed her and called her dozens of mothers. ”

Yang Chuan laughed: "This weaver girl is quite spicy, she can make Cao Xiang's bastard deflated, it's very happy." ”

Zhuo Shi said with a smile: "If Xiao Langjun really wants to grow mulberry and raise silkworms, spin and weave cloth, Weaver Niang is the best choice." ”

"Not only is she much more ingenious than those little women in Shu, but the most important thing is that she has also studied and worked in farming, whether it is housework or farming, she is a good hand.

The only trouble is her origin......"
