I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Now that Chen Ajiao agreed, Liu Tan naturally began to prepare for a beauty salon. Anyway, there are three of them, so it's no problem to get one for men.

However, Chen Ajiao said with a look of disgust: "Am I missing those shops?"

Liu Tan was helpless: "Isn't my son afraid of losing money?"

Chen Ajiao was shocked: "Even if you pay it all, how much can you pay? You still can't afford this little money?"

Liu Tan: ...

He began to ponder whether this was the difference between a real nobleman and a petty citizen. Although he had changed somewhat after passing through for so long, many deep-rooted things were difficult to change.

Of course, it may also be because his idol burden is too heavy-you must know that when mentioning the King of the North, everyone thinks of the word "Qian Tong".

What is Qiantong?Qian Tong is the God of Wealth of the big man. Everyone thinks that he is the God of Wealth. Even if he says no and refuses to admit it, he still wants to maintain this legend in his heart.

If he loses money, he is no longer Qian Tong.

After being educated by Chen Ajiao, Liu Tan also implemented his idea and directly opened a beauty parlor for men on the east and west sides of the city.

After these two are opened, we will decide whether to add them or not, depending on the situation.

Since it is exclusively for men, the decoration design is naturally different. Compared with the luxurious and luxurious beauty salons before, these two are dedicated to the aristocratic small and fresh style. The lobby is still transparent glass doors and glass walls, and the interior is Put up various banners.

This kind of banner was created by Liu Tan for the first time. Before that, he didn't focus on literature and art. Painting and painting were still for firing good-looking porcelain and paper. It was only slightly popularized in the past two years. The two aspects of calligraphy and painting It's still basically in its infancy.

But now this sprout...was picked up by Liu Tan and thrown aside, replaced with a small sapling.

For these banners placed in the lobby, he locked himself in the Palace of Suiyu to write and draw, not to mention the large and small court meetings that Liu Che repeatedly asked him to attend, and even the imperial palace.

Liu Che and Liu Ju were already very familiar with his state, and usually when Liu Tan was in such a toss, it was when he did something weird again.

So the emperor and his son, who had not seen Liu Tan's figure after waiting for two days, finally couldn't bear it and organized a group to run to Suiyu Hall.

In the middle, I happened to meet the queen Chen Ajiao who was worried that her son would become an otaku.

Liu Tan was splashing ink. He was a little surprised when he heard that the empress and the crown prince had come. Thinking about it seriously, he didn't seem to have done anything recently. What are you doing.

It's just that he hadn't left the study yet, and when he opened the door, he saw Liu Che standing outside who was about to open the door.

Liu Tan took two steps back subconsciously: "Father, Queen Mother? Is something wrong?"

Liu Che walked in very bluntly and said, "Well, it's a big deal!"

"Ah? What's the big deal?" Although the weather is not good for Dahan this year, it's not a big deal, and because of the increase in the autumn harvest in the northern border country, the overall data of Dahan has been directly increased. Glad to hear, why did it happen again?

Liu Che walked inside and said, "My son has kept himself in the dormitory for a long time and won't show up. Why don't I come and see him?"

Liu Tan:? ? ? ? ?

He hasn't shown up for a long time, it's only two or three days if he is full of fights, as for it?In the past, even when Liu Fuling was around, Liu Che didn't see him every day. Of course, Liu Fuling took the initiative to move forward and put it aside first.

Liu Tan turned to look at Chen Ajiao, Chen Ajiao said very naturally: "I think so too."

Liu Tan felt that he probably didn't need to ask Liu Shi what he thought.

Outrageous.

He didn't even know how to answer.

But before he could answer anything, Liu Che had already picked up the paintings he had finished and put aside. Those paintings happened to be the corresponding paintings of the Four Seasons series. Liu Tan not only finished the paintings, but also framed them.

He didn't choose a photo frame, because he always felt that it didn't match the lobby. Of course, it may be his personal feeling. He thinks that things like picture frames are more used in Western oil paintings, while in the East, they are more used for mounting.

There are four long paintings in the Four Seasons series, each of which is very delicate.

The last time Liu Che looked at Liu Tan's paintings were still on ceramics, but this time the feeling on paper is different from that on ceramics.

He liked the four paintings very much when he saw them, and asked, "Are these paintings a set?"

Liu Tan nodded seriously: "Yes, this is based on the previous design."

After Liu Che looked at it carefully for a while, he raised his head and stared at Liu Tan.

The emperor's gaze came back out of the rivers and lakes, Liu Tan choked for a moment, and had no choice but to say: "If the emperor likes it, take it and hang it in the proclamation room."

Liu Che immediately waved to Bu Fan and said, "Come, let someone take it back."

Liu Tan had no choice but to walk over: "Wait, I'll roll it up."

He started cautiously and said, "The thinner one is the sky pole, and the thicker one is the ground pole. The sky pole is used to hold the lanyard, and the ground pole is used as a scroll on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to make the painting hang flat."

Liu Tan couldn't help feeling while doing this, Liu Che really didn't come early or late, he came just right, if he came a little later, these paintings would have been sent out.

Chen Ajiao said flatly: "There happened to be two sets that were exactly the same, and the other set was taken away by the queen mother."

What else can Liu Tan say?I can only agree, fortunately he wanted to open two more beauty salons at the same time, otherwise he would have to work overtime to paint his mother.

Not long after he was rejoicing, when he looked up, he saw Liu Juzheng looking at him eagerly.

Liu Tan: ...

It seems that he still cannot escape the fate of working overtime.

Of course, because he is of the same generation, he can completely ignore it, and Liu Shi can't do anything to him.

But the problem is that as a conscientious person, Liu Tan is also reluctant to reject Liu Shi.

You have to know that it is impossible for someone else to be the prince to tolerate what he did in the northern border country, and he will definitely make trouble for him. Unlike Liu Shi, not only did he not make trouble, but he often helped him fight for treatment.

Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "I will send it to His Royal Highness after I finish the painting in two days."

Liu Ju was a bit thinner than Liu Che and Chen Ajiao, and he felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and said, "Then... I'll exchange that white jade wishful handle I just got a while ago with you."

Liu Tan smiled and said, "No, it doesn't take much effort."

Liu Ju said sternly: "My brother's time is very precious, and it is a sin to waste a little bit."

Liu Tan:? ? ? ?

How precious is his time?

Liu Che thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything to give you, so just come and help me with something."

Liu Tan looked at Liu Che in shock, never expecting that this man would be so mad that he would not give anything if he didn't give it. As Liu Tan said, these paintings were just a waste of his time.

If it was an outsider, he would definitely want the lion to open his mouth, but they are all family members, so it is nothing.

As a result, Liu Che not only refused to give him anything, but also asked him to go to work?Are you cheating on your father... No, are you cheating on your son?

Liu Che beckoned to him, and after Liu Tan had passed, he patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, these days you toss these rouge and gouache as an adjustment, how can you indulge in it for a long time? What about your ambition? "

Chen Ajiao on the side snorted very unhappy after hearing this, but didn't say much.

She knows that beauty salons are very profitable, so it's not a waste of time if she really wants to bother with it, but the problem is that Liu Tan's talents are more than that, he should have a wider stage to care about the people's livelihood in the world.

She was just habitually flirting with Liu Che, and Liu Che was also used to it, pretending she didn't hear it at all.

Liu Tan said with black lines all over his head: "What kind of ambition does the emperor want my son to have?"

Liu Che patted his head: "I see that the imperial examination you conducted in the northern border country is not bad, why don't you try it in Chang'an?"

Liu Tan was taken aback after hearing this: "This... can this work?"

Liu Che raised his eyebrows: "The country in the northern border can do it, why can't Chang'an?"

Liu Tan originally wanted to say that Chang'an was deeply rooted, and those people definitely didn't want anyone to come in and compete with him for his job.

But soon he came to his senses - in this era, neither aristocrats nor aristocratic families existed, and even if there was a slight hint, it would not be enough to occupy the court.

Moreover, the talents who come up for the imperial examination are not directly appointed as extremely human officials. Except for the number one scholar, everyone else must first learn how to be an official. Even the number one scholar can only follow the emperor or the prime minister to observe the officialdom at close range. Learn the knowledge and rules in the officialdom, and then wait until the time is right before sending them out as officials.

Therefore, the talents from the first batch of imperial examinations will not be reused as quickly as the northern border country. In fact, the second batch of talents from the northern border country will not be as popular as the first batch.

Everyone sees that these people are all going to the bottom to become officials. I am afraid that many people are happy to let them go - if there are no such people, they have to let others go. Even if the son of the prime minister is thrown to become a county magistrate, it is not a strange thing .

And when these talents who took the imperial examination are getting more and more wings and can enter the court, it will be too late for those who went to the court to recall it.

Liu Tan thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible, but before that, we need to sort out other channels for awarding officials."

Liu Che sat down directly and said, "Go ahead."

Liu Tan said seriously: "Although the imperial examination is useful, it cannot be completely relied on, so the recommendation must continue. However, this is not easy to regulate. The only thing that can be stipulated is the shadow job. The current shadow job system... is a bit chaotic."

What Liu Tan said was still implicit. The current system of senior officials in the big man is not only chaotic, but also has no rules. Of course, it is not completely without rules, but as long as the emperor likes it, he can break the rules at will.

For example, the son of Jiuqing, one who is liked by the emperor, may be higher when he is in the shadow, and the other is just to give a position, which is extremely easy to cause all kinds of instability.

After hearing this, Liu Che asked with interest: "Oh? Then how do you want to change it?"
