With a history of 5,000 years, the history books alone are as vast as smoke.

Look at the vastness of the universe.

The planet we live on is just a drop in the ocean.

Just a big peasant ordered the death, and he couldn't stir up the situation of the Han Dynasty, and even in Chang'an City, he couldn't make a little waves.

The dignitaries and nobles in the city continued to live a drunken and dreamy life.

The people outside the city are still hungry and alive without clothing.

Autumn goes and winter comes.

In the year of the year, the toiling masses of the Han Dynasty, the most difficult season is about to start again.

Huo Guang took a group of laborers out of the city to do something special.

Wei Yan had nothing to do recently, so he also followed Huo Guang out of the city in a carriage, and on the way, he also asked Huo Guang, "Old Cousin, what big things are you going to do with so many people?"

"Big deal? No, I'm just going to dig a big hole!" Huo Guang replied lightly.

"Big Pit?" Wei Yan was a little puzzled, glanced Huo Guang up and down, and said, "Old Watch, you won't be idle and panicked, right?"

"You're just idle! Why, Uncle didn't care about you all this time?" Huo Guang rubbed his nose and smiled.

Wei Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "My father is busy leading the troops, how can he pay attention to me!"

In the past two years, the implementation of the policy of salt and iron official camps, coupled with the money from the rich merchants who "extorted and forcibly plundered", the state finances have become rich enough to support the warlike Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight a major war with the Xiongnu.

Fight!

In addition to money, it is people.

Now all over the country is recruiting soldiers and buying horses.

But whether it is infantry or cavalry, it has to be trained. Otherwise, if you go to the battlefield, let alone fight with the Huns with superb horsemanship, I am afraid that before the battle is fought, your side will be in chaos first.

Thereupon.

General Wei, who had been at home for many years, finally received His Majesty's will and began to train new soldiers.

Expected next year!

The general Wei Qing was about to take these recruits to the battlefield to fight the Huns to the death.

It is precisely because he is busy training recruits that in recent times, Wei Qing has not been able to take care of Wei Yan at all, so that Xiao Fat Dun followed Huo Guang out of the city again.

Wait until you come to the enclosed land in the west of Chang'an City.

Huo Guang ordered the laborers to start digging as deep as possible.

Wei Yan looked at the desolate outskirts of the city at this time, and suddenly couldn't help frowning and said, "No, you are really digging a pit!"

"Aang, or would you be joking with me?" Huo Guang replied.

Since I said it, this is digging a pit.

That's a real digging!

There was no need for him to lie, but this made Wei Yan very dissatisfied, and he immediately frowned and said, "I said old watch, don't do such a boring thing!"

"I heard you're not building a house in the north?"

"Let's go, you take me there to play!"

Huo Guang suddenly frowned, glanced at Wei Yan with disdain, and said, "Play? Whoever plays with you, I'll do the right thing!"

This is the case.

This made Wei Yan even more incomprehensible, and asked, "Serious business, what kind of business are you digging a hole inexplicably? Then you say, what is the use of your so-called business!"

After Huo Guang sighed, he shook his head and said, "Dig a pit, when it's cold, accumulate some ice cubes, and use these ice cubes to make iced fruit stuffing or something, how good."

Huo Guang's explanation is very general.

This made Wei Yan, who was not very smart in his brain, confused for a while.

He looked at Huo Guang and asked, "Chilled fruit stuffing? I said, old watch, you are confused, this cold day, people are cold to death, who will suffer this sin, drink this cold thing!"

"Hey!" Huo Guang sighed again and continued to explain, "I'm talking about saving it for next summer, not now! I'm dying of heat this summer, and I'm going to make something that will cool me off next year!"

This summer, it's been exceptionally hot.

Huo Guang also doesn't know if this will be the case next summer.

So.

Plan ahead.

Huo Guang was going to dig an ice cellar and store more ice cubes in it.

Wait until next summer.

You can take some crushed ice and make some chilled fruit stuff to drink.

Is there an ice cellar in the Western Han Dynasty?

Of course!

But.

Those are for His Majesty and the ladies and nobles in the palace to enjoy.

Huo Guang is a negotiator, but he can't do this good thing.

If the government doesn't give it to you, can't Huo Guang dig an ice cellar by himself!

However, how did Wei Yan know these things, and after listening to what Huo Guang said, he immediately frowned and said, "Old Cousin, can this ice be stored until summer? Isn't that premature?"

Huo Guang said with a smile: "There will be no naturalization, I have a way to save it, otherwise how can it be called an ice cellar?"

"That's right."

"I remember the watermelon you ate in the summer, didn't it say it was delicious?"

"Wait until next summer, I'll let you try the chilled watermelon, it's even more refreshing!"

Watermelon, or the melon of the Western Regions!

Originally, it was a melon and fruit from Africa, but it was introduced to the Han Dynasty from the Western Regions through the Silk Road, and it was already edible in the circle of the Han Dynasty's elites.

Of course.

The watermelons of this period are generally small and have many seeds.

Not as big as the hybrids of later generations, or the seedless watermelons bred by gallnuts.

As soon as Huo Guang mentioned the watermelon, the corners of Na Wei's mouth unconsciously overflowed with some saliva, and he immediately wiped his mouth and said, "The melon in the Western Regions has a lot of water, if you wait for next summer when your ice does not melt, it is estimated that it will be very good to put the ice in the town!"

Looking at Wei Yan's appearance of never eating anything good, Huo Guang smiled unconsciously.

A chilled watermelon drools!

If in the future, all kinds of delicacies will be fidded out, wouldn't it be dumbfounded!

"Ahem, don't bother me, I'm going to direct the workers to work." Huo Guang said lightly.

However.

Thinking about next summer's chilled fruit stuffing and chilled watermelon, Wei Yan immediately patted his chest and said, "Old watch, I also want to contribute, what do you think I can do?"

Huo Guang suddenly glanced at Wei Yan with slanted eyes, and sighed in his heart.

What can he do?

As long as it doesn't cause chaos, it's the biggest contribution.

Forthwith.

Huo Guang gave the guard a piece of paper, pointed to the corner next to him, and said, "No, you take this piece of paper and go sit there!"

Wei Yan didn't understand what Huo Guang meant at this time, and asked, "Old Watch, what do you give a piece of paper to?" Chinese Net

"Go sit there and tear it up!" Huo Guang shrugged and said.

Tearing and playing?

Even if Wei Yan is not smart now, he also feels Huo Guang's full of "malice"!

Thereupon.

Yichun Hou Wei angrily threw the paper on the ground and said, "Old watch, you are too much!"

Huo Guang glanced at Wei Yan and asked, "You really want to work?"

"Hmm!" Wei Yan nodded immediately.

He felt that if he participated in the construction of the ice cellar, wouldn't he have to have his own share of the ice cubes next summer?

Of course.

The most important thing is that he wants to know why Huo Guang said that he can store the ice in winter until next summer.

As everyone knows!

The well water is generally warm in winter and cool in summer.

This is due to the depth of the wells, and the depth of the land is in a constant temperature environment.

In summer, the temperature is lower than the surface level!

But in winter, the temperature is higher than the ground, and if the ice is placed in the pit, it will not melt.

It's like some rural women don't understand why.

In winter, the meat is hung in a well in the hope that it will keep warm. But how do you know that you will take one out the next day

Look, the meat stinks!

Huo Guang didn't know what Wei Yan was thinking about in his heart, and when he saw that he wanted to participate in the work, he frowned and said, "Since you really want to work, then okay, I'll give you an easy errand." You took some of the laborers and brought the cement from my new cement factory in the northern area."

Handling work.

Naturally, he doesn't need the help of Wei Yan, the son of a pampered general, he is in charge of supervision.

Huo Guang asked him to participate.

The main thing is to make an ear root pure, and there is no other reason.

Some time ago.

Wei Yan didn't follow Huo Guang to do things, so he didn't understand what Huo Guang said for a while, so he asked, "Old Watch, what is this cement?"

"Hey, if you go, you'll know, I'll tell you, you haven't seen it, you still don't know."

Huo Guang waved his hand, and then sent some laborers to take Yichunhou to see the so-called "cement".

The land of the northern region is still quite a long way from here to the west.

With Wei Yan leaving.

Huo Guang's ears were finally much cleaner, so in the later time, he concentrated on teaching the workers to dig out those places.

However.

After a while, Huo Guang found that Bu San had brought the eunuch beside His Majesty over, and said breathlessly, "Huo Yilang, you are really easy to find, this is so far away from Chang'an City, what are you going to do when you come to this rarely populated place?"

"Your Majesty has an edict."

"You will enter the palace immediately, and there will be no delay on the way."

His Majesty ordered himself to enter the palace?

All right!

If you don't come early, you won't come late, but at this time, Huo Guang is also speechless.

But the edict of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty had already been issued, and Huo Guang had no choice but to get into the carriage and rush back to Chang'an.

I entered the palace and saw Your Majesty.

He found.

At this moment, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is playing Go with Sang Hongyang.

Of course.

At this time, Go was not yet its current name. It's either called a game, or it's called Fangyuan, black and white, etc., it's okay.

Huo Guang originally wanted to step forward and salute, but was stopped by Han Shuo, shook his head at him, and whispered, "Shh, Huo Yilang, Your Majesty is playing chess with Sang Shizhong, don't disturb Your Majesty's Yaxing."

Excuse me?

After playing Go, you will disturb Yaxing by saying a word yourself?

Although Huo Guang was dissatisfied, he still stood aside honestly and watched Sang Hongyang and Emperor Wu of Han play against each other.

The so-called chess watching is silent and true gentleman.

Seeing that Sang Hongyang restrained himself from fighting with Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, although he suddenly understood in his heart.

Sang Hongyang's level of Go is obviously much higher than His Majesty.

After all.

Go pays attention to mental arithmetic ability, and Sang Hongyang is strong in this aspect.

If you really want to go down.

Sang Hongyang is afraid that he is going to abuse Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Wait for the next plate to finish.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was in a good mood after undoubtedly winning the game. Seeing Huo Guang coming, he said to Huo Guang, "Huo Guang, do you know how to play? Otherwise, you and Sang Hongyang have a game, and I will watch you from the side!"

Playing against Sang Hongyang?

He is not His Majesty, and besides, with his own level of play, compared with Sang Hongyang, isn't that purely looking for abuse?

Forthwith.

Huo Guang said honestly: "The level of the game in Sang Shizhong is very high, I am not an opponent,"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han glanced at Huo Guang thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Yo, it's not common for you to look so modest."

However.

Huo Guang didn't have time to speak.

Sang Hongyang, who was on the side, said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, "Your Majesty, Huo Yilang may be afraid, he is afraid of losing to me!"

When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.

Boy!

Didn't you say that the ancients were beautiful in modesty?

What's going on with this guy.

Immediately!

Huo Guang opened his mouth and said, "The book of war says that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, not to mention a small game, how can I be afraid of losing?"

"Oh? Why don't you two have the next one?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said.

Do you want to play chess?

It's impossible to get down!

If he loses, maybe this Sang Hongyang will mock himself for something.

Forthwith.

Huo Guang thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the game is too time-consuming, and you know my character. I like to make noise, and I don't like to sit on my knees all the time and play against people."

"That's it!"

"I come up with a problem, if Sang Hongyang can solve it, even if he wins."

"If not, I've won."

When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, he thought it was interesting, so he said, "Okay, then you can come up with the question, Sang Hongyang, you can see what the solution may be."

The words fell.

I saw Sang Hongyang arch his body to Emperor Wu of Han, and at the same time said in his mouth, "No!"

Sang Hongyang said, turned his head and said to Huo Guang: "Since Your Majesty said it, then Huo Yilang, you don't come up with the question soon, I want to see what is difficult about your question."

However.

Huo Guang smiled and said, "There's no difficulty, just judge the question, you can judge whether what I said is right or wrong."

said.

Huo Guang grabbed a handful of white pieces from the chess jar, and at the same time said to Sang Hongyang, "Sang Shizhong, you also grab a chess piece!"

Sang Hongyang didn't know what Huo Guang was doing, and when he saw him say this, he also grabbed a chess piece.

Then.

Huo Guang said, "Sang Shizhong, I'll just say three words, do you think it's right or not!"

"First sentence, I have as many chess pieces in my hand as you do."

"The second sentence, I have two more chess pieces in my hand than you have in your hand!"

"In the third sentence, in addition to the above-mentioned chess pieces, I will give you all the remaining chess pieces, and you will have twelve chess pieces."

After saying this, Sang Hongyang immediately snorted and said, "Nonsense, there is a problem with your three sentences. If there are the same amount, why two more? How can there be any remaining chess pieces beyond the two?"

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Sang Shizhong doesn't believe it, and thinks what I said is wrong?"

"There is something wrong with what you said, so naturally there is a mistake!" Sang Hongyang said contemptuously.

However.

Huo Guang didn't care about Sang Hong's words, he only looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and asked, "What does Your Majesty think?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned slightly, he didn't know what Huo Guang was doing again, he shook his head, and said, "I didn't understand what you meant, but since Sang Shizhong said that you were wrong, then I was right to choose you!"

Looked at.

Huo Guang immediately flattered: "Your Majesty is worthy of being the Lord of the Holy Ming, you have chosen the right one."

Now.

Sang Hongyang frowned and said, "Your three sentences contradict yourself, how can they be right?"

"Oh? Sang Shizhong, are you saying that Your Majesty is wrong?" Huo Guang glanced at Sang Hongyang faintly, with a bit of ridicule in his eyes.

Now.

Sang Hongyang was speechless for a while.

Your Majesty has chosen the right one.

How can he say that he is wrong, doesn't that show that he is saying that the emperor is wrong?

Immediately.

Sang Hongyang said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "Your Majesty, this Huo Yilang is strong, whatever I say now, I can't say that you are wrong!"

Looked at.

Emperor Wu of Han also turned slightly pale, and said, "Huo Guang, don't be clever, it's right or wrong, you quickly tell the reason." I also want to know why I chose the right one."

See Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty speak.

Huo Guangye

He stopped showing off, and immediately put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and said, "Your Majesty, look, I have fourteen chess pieces here, and how many chess pieces do you have?"

Sang Hongyang suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I said that his three sentences were wrong, the first sentence was wrong, I obviously only have seven chess pieces!"

The words fell!

Sang Hongyang also put down the chess pieces in his hand.

Sure enough, there were only seven chess pieces.

But when Huo Guang placed his chess pieces into three, they were seven, two, and five.

Sang Hongyang's laughter came to an abrupt end.
