Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 579 Inheritance
Baicheng King sat on the carriage pulled by five fine horses, and looked at his brand-new clothes with some bitterness. The king's clothes before reaching the Han Dynasty were quite gorgeous.

The relationship between the Baicheng Kingdom and the current Peacock Kingdom is not good, but the Baicheng King passed through the territory of the Peacock Kingdom safely, just because the big man ordered the countries along the road to be responsible for the safety of the Baicheng King. The Peacock King can only be stubborn. Scalp to protect this enemy, I feel a little aggrieved.

When Baicheng King's carriage came to Xiting Kingdom, the local officials asked him to change his clothes and carriages. His original carriage was replaced by the current five-horse carriage, and his clothes were also in accordance with those of the Han princes. King Baicheng couldn't understand why these people put so much emphasis on dressing.

However, the ruthless official told him that this is the condition for meeting the emperor. He became a tributary state of the Han Dynasty, and he had to follow the etiquette and culture of the Han Dynasty. He even asked the Baicheng King to promote these things in his own country .

The Baicheng King asked the big man for a request, so he agreed with a smile without saying anything.

The country is small and weak, so what can we do?

Along the way, he can be regarded as seeing the prosperity of the big man. Just the merchant convoy that forms a long queue at the city gate is beyond his imagination. Anyway, he would never see such a scene when he was poisoned. The closer to Chang'an, the more the strength of the big man will be revealed.

The flat road, the soldiers escorting him along the road, the tall and mighty city walls, and the bustling market all shocked King Baicheng a lot.

He was escorted by a young official. After they walked for a long distance, the official heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand. Some of the escorting knights left here. He rode his horse and came to the hundred with a smile Cheng Wang's side, "We will be safe after leaving Xiting Kingdom. If you are tired, you can tell me that we can rest here."

This young man is an official of Dianke, and he understands their language. King Baicheng talked to him without any pressure. King Baicheng asked curiously: "The big man is so powerful, are there any thieves?"

"Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is alive, if there is no way to pick up lost things, how can there be any thieves?"

"That was before."

The young official cleared his throat, and said hesitantly: "It's mainly the ministers of Xiting Kingdom, who are a little anxious to make meritorious service. I'm afraid that Xia's officials will come and take us as prisoners as soon as their brains get hot."

Baicheng King's eyes widened, "Is there such a warlike person in the country?"

"Yes, of course there is. There is a warrior in Xiting Kingdom who leads the army of Xiting Kingdom to fight everywhere. He is proficient in the art of war and defeats his opponents by surprise every time. For example, he went to crusade against Kangju a few years ago. The enemy, as a result, the people of Dawan were beaten."

"The people in Dawan didn't take any precautions, they were easily defeated by him, and they brought back countless horses and supplies."

Baicheng King praised: "He is a brave and resourceful warrior!"

"Yes, but, you still have to be careful, this soldier, anyway, he is not very friendly to people other than big men. Although you are going to meet His Majesty now, if you meet him, you will still be in trouble."

King Baicheng nodded, and he said with a smile: "Actually, I can understand very well. There is also a warrior in our country who repelled the kingslayer many times. This time we all became princes of the big man, but he saw the kingslayer I can't order him even if he wants to attack. It's because of hatred."

The official shook his head and said with some fear: "No, you won't understand. He is different from everyone else."

at the same time.

A group of knights appeared majesticly in a field. Xia Houzao looked around and frowned, "Didn't a scout say that a poisonous army appeared here? Where are the people?"

"Captain. They say it's in the south."

"Isn't this the south side?"

"Here seems to be a land of healthy living"

"His mother, how did you lead the way? You led me crooked again!"

Xia Houzao reprimanded his lieutenant angrily. The lieutenant sighed and didn't say anything. This leader led the charge and couldn't keep up with him. How can he show you the way?Fortunately, the general now rides a horse and no longer uses a chariot. Otherwise, I don't know how much staff will be reduced this way.

Xia Houzao pulled out the sword from his waist, "Brothers, this Kangju must be in collusion with the poisonous people! We are going to rush in and catch those poisonous people!!"

"It's time for us to make meritorious deeds!! Come with me!!!"

Baicheng Wang passed through the most dangerous area safely and came to Hexi Kingdom. When he arrived here, he would basically never meet any generals who wanted to beat him. Although the general who came to greet him looked a little cold, Seems to be looking at his head all the time, but he's still easy to talk to.

What King Baicheng didn't expect was that after this general, the king of Hexi Kingdom also came to visit him in person. King Baicheng was very surprised and hurriedly got out of the car to meet him. This is a very young king.

Liu Xiang came here in person, of course not to meet the barbarian king, the Baicheng king did not come back alone, he brought another very important person with him, yes, that is Pingyang Marquis Cao Yu.

Cao Yu stayed in the local area because of his illness after being poisoned on his previous envoy. Wang is back.

There are still many imperial physicians, poison doctors, and even attendants around him.

Liu Xiang got into the car, and when he saw his uncle lying on the bed, his eyes turned red, and he knelt down in front of his uncle regardless of the usual etiquette, "Uncle."

Cao Yu was thin and thin, with a pale complexion. Hearing this voice, he slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head and saw Liu Xiang kneeling in front of him.

"Xiang, it's you, I went to Hexi country?"

"Yes, uncle has returned to Hexi Kingdom."

Cao Yu gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. Liu Xiang quickly stepped forward to support him. Cao Yu leaned on the pillow and looked at Liu Xiang in front of him with a satisfied face. He suddenly laughed, "It's good to be back, die, I will die in my own land too."

"Uncle, don't say such inauspicious words, you will be fine."

Liu Xiang seemed to be sincere, and Cao Yu was quite moved. Although this Zhuzi always brought people to steal his house, ruined his family's reputation everywhere, and contradicted himself many times, but aside from the facts, he still Very filial.

"Uncle, there is nothing wrong with you! You just promised to build a post house for me in Hexi Kingdom, and I have already ordered it to go on. If something happens to you, what will I do with the subsequent expenses?"

Liu Xiang wiped his tears and said sadly.

Cao Yu didn't get angry, he just laughed and scolded: "You Lizi, are you the only uncle like me? Why don't you go find Lu Lu, who is rich and famous in the world?"

Liu Xiang lowered his head, and said aggrievedly: "He won't give it to me after looking for it."

"Huh? No way, he is also your father Zhong, who is related to you by blood. Even the Xiting Kingdom has received a lot of benefits from him. How could he not give it to you, a dear son?"

"Who said it wasn't? I was watching the truckloads of supplies being transported from Chang'an to Xiting Kingdom. At that time, I was jealous and understood. Then I wrote a letter to Jiancheng Hou, asking him to give me some money, but Who knows, facing me as a close son, not only did he not give money, but he wrote back and reprimanded me."

"He also said that he would let me govern the country with peace of mind, otherwise he would play the emperor and hang me up to beat me."

Cao Yu frowned, "What Lu Lu did is too unfair. Even if you can't treat everyone equally, you shouldn't be so biased. If I can return to Chang'an, I will stand up for you and have a good talk with Lu Lu. !"

"Really? Uncle, how do you think you are doing now? Can you leave??"

"It's more than just being able to start, I feel like I can jump up and give you a crutch now."

The convoy didn't stay in Hexi country for too long, and continued to head towards Chang'an. Liu Xiang bid farewell to his uncle with tears, watching his uncle gradually go away, full of anticipation in his heart.

"I hope uncle can convince Zhongfu that it would be even better if two people come to help together."

Just when Liu Xiang was feeling emotional, Liu Jing who was on the side said coldly: "Let there be a big businessman like Lu Lu in the country, it is simply a dream of a big man."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiang hurriedly grabbed him, "Liu Xiang, you can't talk nonsense, the future of Hexi country depends on whether people are willing to help or not."

Since being imprisoned in Longxi County and being educated by Luan Bu, Liu Xiang has changed a lot. He is no longer as arrogant as before. Luan Bu probably wants to give him an unforgettable lesson. During his imprisonment, Luan Bu came in from time to time to ask, sometimes asking where you want to be buried after death, and sometimes asking what posthumous title you want.
Anyway, Liu Xiang was so frightened that he cried and cried all day long. When he was released, he couldn't wait to accept concubines. He felt that he should have a descendant. When he returned to Hexi Kingdom, he also became a I became more honest, stopped talking nonsense, and didn't dare to lead troops out again.

Liu Jing never changed anything, he still said whatever he had.

"Hmph, how can a great country be controlled by merchants? The prestige of the Marquis after completion has been destroyed. Such a person can even serve His Majesty, His Majesty has no eyes."

"Be careful! Be careful!!"

"Liu Gong!! You are old and don't care about these things, but I'm still young, I haven't had any children yet, and Luan Bu is in Longxi, watching him like a tiger, you can't say that!"

Liu Jing didn't say anything more, but there was still deep contempt on his face.

Inside the Shangfang Mansion, Liu Changzheng was looking down at Chen Tao's operations. The Shangfang Mansion has been extremely busy recently. The emperor asked them to build too many things. The astronomical mirror that His Majesty mentioned alone is not easy. As for the ratio, His Majesty didn't make it clear, they could only experiment and adjust the ratio again and again.

Chen Tao's upper body was naked at the moment, his whole body seemed to be on fire, showing a deep crimson red color, two simple wrist guards were tied on his wrists, some spattered places on his body were also carefully treated After bandaging it up, he focused on looking at the stove in front of him, adding various powders continuously.

Seeing Chen Tao's bruised body, Liu Chang was too embarrassed to urge him anymore.

For a long time, Shang Fang was busy researching the steam that Liu Chang said, but there was no result. Later Liu Chang talked about cement, and they carried out research and development, and the things they created were similar to what Liu Chang said. Quite different, until now mirrors.

Shangfang has not made a new invention for more than half a year, and is burning money every day, which means that Chen Tao has developed a heart strong enough to withstand such pressure over the years.

When Chen Tao extinguished the flame and took out the glass himself, the smile on his face disappeared again.

It is still a failure, it is full of cracks, even if you grab it, you have to worry about it breaking, and it has not reached the level that the emperor wanted at all.

Chen Tao scratched his head helplessly, and looked around. Beside him, there are many craftsmen who are doing similar research, and they are all waiting for the results. Liu Chang stepped forward, "No problem, I feel You are getting closer and closer, and in a short time, you will definitely be able to create the kind of mirror I need."

"It's okay to fail once or twice. Who doesn't fail? Who doesn't make mistakes?"

"Your Majesty. I think the method you said at the beginning may be wrong, or it may not be complete enough. It seems that a very important link is missing."

"What?! You dare to question me, how could I make a mistake?! I am a godsend, these are absolutely correct, I will never make a mistake!! It's all a problem with your production process!"

Naturally, the Elder will not take the blame. He just lifted the pot and before it approached him, he pinned it on Chen Tao's head. Chen Tao said with a wry smile: "I don't want to blame your majesty for the failure. Do you think there may be room for improvement?"

"Oh? Improvement?"

This time Liu Chang did not become angry from embarrassment. Hearing Chen Tao said that there was a possibility of improvement, he hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

"You can try to do it"

"Okay, you can go ahead and do it boldly. Even if you make a mistake, I will never blame you. I am a magnanimous person. You can do it at ease. If it succeeds, I will add you to the city!"

Chen Tao glanced at His Majesty, he always felt that His Majesty's words were not finished, if it was done, I would add you to the city, if it didn't work out?
Chen Tao was about to continue to fight, but Liu Chang pulled him and motioned him to follow him. Chen Tao had no choice but to put on his clothes and followed behind Liu Chang. The most preferred, even took out his own private treasury to subsidize and fund."

"The titles of Zhu Mo here, you know it yourself, there is no school that can have so many high titles, and you are all better than military strategists."

"Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, and I will definitely do my best to make it."

"No, no, you don't understand. You are now the number one in the Mo family, right?"

The corner of Chen Tao's mouth twitched, and then he explained: "It's Juzi."

"That's right, during the time you were in power, the Mo family's saw, the Mo family has developed rapidly and has a very high title, but it has become farther and farther away from the famous school. Have you discovered this?"

Chen Tao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"I told you Mozi not to care about political opinions and work with peace of mind, but I didn't let you all become craftsmen. Mozi back then didn't just know how to invent. He spent his whole life studying science, physics, optics, mathematics, Even chemistry is in his field of study”

"But now, all of you are rolling up your sleeves to make inventions, but none of you are researching them. It's impossible to have what you need without foundation."

"Applied science is great, but basic science is also needed for development."

Chen Tao barely understood most of Liu Chang's words, and nodded in a daze.

"I've also heard about your courses in Taixue, architecture, invention, production. It's just that there are no physics, chemistry, etc., but Huang Lao, who started to take the initiative to contact these fields, An Shuzi, didn't he propose something? Geology is the foundation of Huang Lao?"

"The Geology he mentioned is actually basic science, but he doesn't know the name."

"If things go on like this, the contribution of the Mohist family in this field will end in my era."

Chen Tao let out a long sigh helplessly. The Mohism declined so fast that the Mohism itself didn't realize it. In this era, Chen Tao can manage the Mohist knowledge, and it is almost impossible to find those who engage in research. Basically, they have become Qin Mo's hands-on Invented.

He also wanted to revive it, but there was no one.

Liu Chang also seemed to know his difficulties, so he reminded him: "Let me tell you this, there are plenty of talents in the Taixue, as long as you can find three or four people with good knowledge, take the classics of the Mohist school in the past, and teach them." , let’s talk about Gexue, and teach the principles of Gexue.”

"Let them develop a spirit of Geology, and let them study on their own. There will be more and more talents in the future, and the Mohist family will not break the inheritance. In the future, you should think more from the position of the boss of the Mohist family, and don't just bury your head There are already many craftsmen in Shangfang who are making inventions here, and you have to worry more about the basic field."

"I know it."

Liu Chang nodded in satisfaction, and then hurriedly said: "By the way, if you're going to Taixue, don't go to the place near the courtyard wall in the west."

"Why is this?"

"There's a classroom over there, and the old man in it would stalk anyone he saw, and wouldn't let you go at all. I couldn't even get rid of him, so I listened to his two-hour class."

Liu Chang seemed to recall the memory that gave him a headache again, rubbed his forehead, and then said earnestly: "However, that old man is also very miserable. His school is about to die, and the reason is that everyone studies those who can bring him the fastest. The things that come to benefit, but the core knowledge has no one to learn.”

"It's because I found out about this that I came here to find you. I was worried that the Mo family would become the next one."

Chen Tao pursed his lips, and then said resolutely, "Your Majesty, the Mo family will not perish."

But Liu Chang rubbed his belly, "If you don't want the Mo family to perish, hurry up and bring me some meat, I haven't had lunch yet."

ps: I have a cold and feel very uncomfortable, and my condition is extremely bad. I really can't write Chapter 2.
