When Liu talked about this question, both Gong Shucan and Gong Shu were a little at a loss. The two of them looked at each other carefully and asked carefully: "This... I have never heard of it before, or maybe I am ignorant."

Liu Tan frowned. The columbine cart is actually a farming tool that has both the functions of plowing and sowing. There is a coulter on the bottom and a square bucket on the top called a columbine.

He remembered that the columbine car appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The person who invented it was called Zhao Guo. Zhao Guo got an official because of this thing, but because the columbine car was not easy to promote, it seems that he was later sent to guide the people. farming.

There are not many records about Zhao Guo in history, the year of birth and death is unknown, and it was only in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he became an official to guide the people's livelihood, so it seems likely that there is no such thing as a columbine car at this moment.

Liu Tan paused before saying: "It's okay, I've been too busy with things recently and forgot, I thought I told you, what I mean is to add a square bucket on the top of the plow body to put grain seeds, and then plow it while plowing. Sow seeds on one side of the ground, but this square bucket may need some special settings to let the seeds drop little by little."

Gong Shucan looked at the plow and pondered for a while and said, "It's not difficult, Your Highness, just wait for me for two days, there shouldn't be any problem."

Liu Tan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you have worked hard these two days, and you will be rewarded for your hard work."

Gong Shucan was really taken aback: there are more?

Because of the previous rewards, he wanted to confuse Liu Tan. He only thought that the king of the northern border was really a good person. He not only gave them official positions but also money. Where could he find such a good prince?

However, now that Liu Tan told him that the reward was only temporary, it was only at this time that Gong Shucan understood why after he arrived in Shuofang City, Gong Shu also handed over the deeds of several houses.

He originally thought that the house in Shuofang City was cheap, but now it seems... that the King of the Northern Realm is simply generous enough!

Liu Tan returned to the palace very satisfied. Even if Gong Shucan couldn't make a columbine in a short time, it didn't matter. Having this plow was enough to surprise everyone.

What made him most satisfied was that the Gongshu family had a better understanding of the lives of ordinary people. For example, Liu Tan thought that the metal plow body might be expensive to build.

But the solution he thought of at the time was to work hard to develop the economy so that the living conditions of the people would improve, their income would increase, and they would be able to afford farm tools even if they were a bit more expensive.

So he didn't expect that stone plow bodies could be used. It is true that stone plow bodies are inefficient, but the problem is that they can plow twice more.

After Liu Tan returned to the palace, he suddenly discovered something - Lu Xuan was very silent today.

After dinner, he directly asked Lu Xuan, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Lu Xuan touched his head and said, "I should go."

He had been away from Wusun Kingdom for too long, and he had been delaying by going to Chang'an to discuss matters, but it was almost half a month since he returned to Shuofang City from Chang'an, so it would not be appropriate to procrastinate any longer.

What's more, the northern border country has begun to prepare for spring plowing, and Wusun country is almost ready. Little Wusun has little arable land, but it doesn't mean that there is no land, and the contract made in Chang'an also requires him to go back to deal with internal affairs.

Liu Tan paused after hearing this, and didn't speak for a while.

In fact, he already knew that Lu Xuan would definitely leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Liu Tan tried his best not to work overtime and deal with some things during the Chinese New Year. How could Lu Xuan be doing nothing?Moreover, Wusun is only in Zhengdan, and their festivals are different from those of the big man.

So when the big man is on vacation, the little Wusun is actually operating normally. Lu Xuan has resolved some matters through letters before, but this is not going to work. He has been outside for a long time, and he may not know when the little Wusun rebelled. .

But he couldn't bear Lu Xuan, and every time they got along, they would count down from the day they met. He hugged Lu Xuan's waist tightly and thought aggrievedly: When will such a day end?

He was not willing, how could Lu Xuan be willing, but he also knew in his heart why Liu Che and Liu Ju didn't want him to talk with Liu?It's not because of his status here.

If he had nothing, even if he was tired of talking with Liu every day, the two of them would probably not take a second look - he is just a male favorite, not worthy of the eyes of the supreme father and son.

Moreover, Lu Xuan had promised Liu Tan before that he would be his barrier, allowing him to develop the northern border country with peace of mind, and let him deal with the Xiongnu.

It is very difficult to fulfill such a promise, Wushilu is not a good stubble, he has to go back and let little Wusun recuperate as soon as possible, in case of emergencies.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, before Liu Tan said, "Send someone over later to discuss and see if there is any cooperation."

The relationship between the two of them can't affect the Northern Borderlands and Little Wusun. Little Wusun needs to develop, and even if Liu Tan wants to help, he has to come through regular channels.

The only thing that reassures him now is that his business dealings with Little Wusun will not be suspected of being an enemy inside and outside - King Wusun is now his own.

Lu Xuan also had a sense of proportion in his heart, and said directly: "I heard that His Majesty has asked His Royal Highness to select people to station in Wusun. At that time, I will discuss with them and try to let them come here."

Those people are both the courtiers of the big man and the courtiers of the little Wusun, so it should be easier to communicate.

Liu Tan suddenly said: "I said I would write textbooks for you, but I forgot."

Lu Xuan hurriedly said: "This is just a plan, so far there are no conditions for its implementation."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Even my younger brother doesn't study well, others can imagine, maybe in the end we can only start from children."

Liu Tan raised his head and said, "If those poor people have such an opportunity, they will work hard."

Lu Xuan shook his head: "But we can't take care of them now."

Liu Tan said: "You don't have to be perfect, let them use sticks and sand without paper and pen, and you don't have to force them to match your literary accomplishment. You have to know that even if you are a big man, even people who have read books may not be as good as you. You are strong."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan showed a smile. He tried his best to be reserved, but Liu Tan's affirmation of him still made him feel elated. He couldn't help but kissed Liu Tan and said, "It's Your Majesty who treats me well. Give me a book to read."

Yes, Lu Xuan was half illiterate when he first came to Chang'an, he could speak Chinese and could read some characters, but that's all, he was eager to learn, so Liu Che simply sent some books to him. he.

It's not a masterpiece, but for him it's a long drought and rain.

These days at Liu Tan's place, Liu Tan's own study room has no restrictions on him, he can read the books as he pleases, and even Liu Tan's own official documents do not avoid him.

It's just that Lu Xuan has a line in his heart, knowing what to do and what not to do.

Whether it's him or Liu Tan, at their status, although they can be intimate, they still need to leave some space for each other.

Liu Tan said: "Hey, don't worry about this matter, I will write you a note later, you can use it if you see it, and change it if you can't."

Lu Xuan immediately said: "You are so busy, don't worry about this."

Liu Tan said, "It's okay, you are not as experienced as I am."

Lu Xuan didn't speak this time. He originally thought that what Liu Tan said was that he was more experienced in reading.

However, in fact, Liu Tan himself has to admit that he is not as good as Lu Xuan in terms of the amount of reading these books.

Well, if you count all kinds of messy novels and professional knowledge literature in later generations, it is naturally because of his high reading volume.

But the point is not this, the point is that the literacy system of the flower planter is very sound, even if it can't be moved directly, it can be used directly with a little modification, and it saves Lu Xuan's time of detours.

Lu Xuan kissed Liu Tan's forehead, feeling very satisfied in his heart, feeling that Liu Tan had fulfilled all his fantasies about the other half.

The two got bored for a few days, Liu Tan absented himself from work immediately after finding that he had nothing to do, and Huo Guang turned a blind eye when he learned that Lu Xuan was leaving.

But time always passed quickly, the [-]th day of the first lunar month was the day Lu Xuan set to return to Wusun.

Because Lu Xuan didn't go through a formal diplomatic process when he came here, he was very low-key when he left, and Liu Tan also went out low-key to see him off.

The two of them were sitting in the car, and Liu Tan explained: "I told them not to come. If they all come out, the fool will know that something must have happened."

He was worried that Lu Xuan would feel wronged by leaving so quietly, so he specially explained.

Lu Xuan hugged him and said, "It's good, we can spend more time together."

If others came to see him off, he would have to exchange some pleasantries, how about this.

Liu Tan was silent for a while, then he took out a dagger and handed it to him, saying: "This is made by Baisteel, you take it with you, I originally wanted to make you a long sword, but so far only my father The emperor has a long sword made of [-]-year-old steel in his hand, if you are found out, something will happen to you."

Lu Xuan accepted the dagger and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it close to my body, and I won't use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Liu Tan touched his face, leaned over and kissed him.

Lu Xuan paused for a moment, and immediately grabbed the back of his head and turned back.

They didn't separate until the carriage stopped.

Lu Xuan said: "It's a bit cold this year, go back, don't give away too much."

Liu Tan responded sullenly, and watched Lu Xuan get into another carriage with his own eyes, watched that carriage gradually go away, and then returned to the palace sullenly.

Originally, he thought he was used to parting, but he didn't expect that after Lu Xuan left, he actually found his palace so empty for the first time.

When he was in a bad mood, he stroked the cat. Liu Tan went all the way to the panda garden, sat on the swing where Gun Gun often played, and sighed to Gun Gun, "Gun Gun, the godfather who can hold you is gone, have you unhappy?"

Gun Gun's response to him was to pick up a new bamboo shoot and continue clicking, expressing his displeasure at Liu Tan occupying its swing.

Liu Tan couldn't help but rubbed its big head and said, "You are heartless, you still eat, you still eat, and if you continue to eat like this, how should I answer when people ask me if you are dyed by pigs?"

Just when Liu Tan was unhappy and kept harassing Gun Gun, Gong Shucan rescued Gun Gun.

He came over with a red face, and was about to say something, but when he saw Liu Tan rubbing the iron-eating beast's head, he froze there, unable to utter a word.

However, Liu Tan asked him calmly, "Have you made it?"

Gong Shucan nodded stiffly, and at the same time, a word flashed in his mind: People should not be judged by appearances, the legend of Chang'an is true!
