Straight man of steel

Chapter 427 Promulgation of Tweet Order

If it was a few years ago, Zhang Yuan would go to Lantian County to meet Zhuo Wangsun.

But now the various shackles of reality and identity make it impossible for him to do things that are demeaning in front of the public.

Liu Che may just be thinking about not being able to catch Zhang Yuan's flaws, and Zhang Yuan will not just hit the muzzle of the gun stupidly.

Zhuo Wangsun will not have the same attitude towards Zhang Yuan now.

The status and status of the two have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In terms of social status, the gap between the status of Liehou and merchants is far greater than the distance between slaves and merchants.

Zhuo Wangsun only stayed in Lantian County for one night, and left for Chang'an City the next day.

Zhang Yuan and Zhuo Wangsun were in the same uneasy mood.

Zhuo Wangsun was worried about his attitude towards Zhang Yuan in the past, while Zhang Yuan was worried about abducting his daughter.

"How long will it take for your father to arrive in Chang'an?"

Unable to go to the gate of the city to greet him, all Zhang Yuan can do is to wait quietly in Xin'anhou Mansion.

"I guess it won't be until the afternoon. My father will come all the way in a carriage when he's older, so the speed will naturally be slower."

Zhuo Wenjun was also a little nervous, but seeing Zhang Yuan getting more nervous, her mood eased down a bit.

"Oh, that's fine.

Ask the chef to cook more dishes, didn't Wu Yanlang also send the chef who made desserts.

I have tasted the dessert made by the chef, and it is very good, and I can ask him to prepare more. "

"Xiaoqing is watching at the kitchen. We don't need to worry about these things. The people below will take care of them."

Zhang Yuan glanced back, his eyes were full of tenderness, he pinched Zhuo Wenjun's palm and asked softly.

"Has your father ever been dissatisfied with me?"

"Yes, there are, but you can rest assured that father doesn't dare to reveal it now."

Zhuo Wenjun chuckled, thinking of the great changes over the years, the tension in his heart was completely dissipated.

Now Zhang Yuan can be regarded as the best husband-in-law of the big man.

Even if the princess married into the Marquis of Xin'an, she couldn't say what to do with Zhang Yuan, the two could only wait for it equally.

It's like Princess Pingyang married Wei Qing and the two respected each other like a guest.

When a minister's merits are only one step away from being as great as his master, marrying a princess, even the eldest princess, would not say how honorable it is.

Besides, the master is Liu Che, if you really want to make great achievements, you have to accumulate a lot of credit.

"That's good, I'm really afraid that your father will give me some flair.

Now I don't have to worry about it, you have to stand by my side when he comes. "

"That's natural."

Times like this always go by so quickly.

Zhuo Wangsun's carriage drove to the gate of Xin'anhou Mansion.

There were two carts full of gifts following behind, and those who didn't know thought someone was moving.

Up to this point, Zhang Yuan will definitely go to the door to greet him.

In my own home, the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu can't control my own head.

"The villain pays homage to Marquis Xin'an."

Zhuo Wangsun saw Zhang Yuan again after more than ten years, and still recognized him at a glance.

A person's face changes the least when he is from 20 to 30 years old.

Besides, his own daughter walked out holding Zhang Yuan's arm, who else could this man be.

When Zhang Yuan saw Zhuo Wangsun bowing, he immediately quickened his pace and stepped forward to help Zhuo Wangsun up.

"The father-in-law doesn't need to salute the son-in-law. There is a banquet prepared for the father-in-law inside. Let's go in and talk about it."

(The name of the wife’s father began to call the father-in-law from the Han Dynasty. This is the custom of the Huns. After the marriage between the Han and the Huns, the Huns used to call the emperor of the Han Dynasty as the father-in-law. Before that, the father-in-law It's just that the older man refers to the male, and the mother-in-law refers to the older female.)
When Zhuo Wangsun heard Zhang Yuan's name, his pupils were full of surprise. He knew that Zhuo Wenjun did not enter Zhang Yuan's family tree.

Poor Zhang Yuan is still alone in the family tree, but the household registration is different from the family tree. The household registration is to write all the servants in the family.

Zhuo Wenjun's face was also full of surprises. Just a title and a self-proclaimed name made Zhuo Wenjun's affection for Zhang Yuan even higher.

"Okay, okay, let's go in and have a good chat."

The gifts on the car were naturally handed over to the servants, while Zhang Yuan and Zhuo Wenjun led Zhuo Wangsun in.

Zhuo Wenjun never said anything, but the smile on his face couldn't be concealed.

Ever since she identified herself as the Zhang family, she knew what to do and what not to do.

Most married women want to consider for their husband-in-law's family, and they want to distance themselves from their natal family.

Otherwise, there would be no such saying as the water thrown by the married daughter.

"My father-in-law, when you first arrived in Chang'an, I was supposed to let you rest for a while.

I can imagine that you are still on your way at noon, so we will take a rest after eating and drinking at the table. "

Zhang Yuan took Zhuo Wangsun to the seat, and then returned to sit on the main seat, while Zhuo Wenjun sat down opposite Zhuo Wangsun.

"Master Hou is very polite. I am very grateful to receive such hospitality from Master Hou."

Zhuo Wangsun raised his wine bottle to Zhang Yuan and drank it in one gulp.

"My father-in-law still calls me A Yuan, and Wen Jun usually calls me that.

We are a family and don't need so many etiquettes. Besides, this is at home and not nearby. "

"Okay, okay, that old man will continue to call you Ayuan."

Changing the address can bring the relationship between them closer and ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Did the father-in-law come to Chang'an this time, have the affairs in Shu County been settled?"

Zhang Yuan didn't want to talk about these things either, but this seemed to be the only common language between the two.

"Well, according to what you said, all the family property has been sold.

Part of the family wealth has been moved to Lantian County, and part is still on the road. The coins have all been melted into copper ingots, about ten million catties, and 20 gold. "

(One catty in the Western Han Dynasty is almost equivalent to half a catty in modern times.)
After Zhang Yuan heard this amount, he finally knew what a rich person is.

The reason why Zhuo Wangsun wanted to melt all the copper coins into copper ingots was all explained by Zhang Yuan.

If it is still the same copper coins as before, the weight is estimated to be doubled, and it will be melted and cast into a square copper ingot, which is suitable for transportation and loading in cars and does not require a large number of wooden boxes.

The reduced wooden box can reduce a considerable part of the weight.

Even so, Zhuo Wangsun couldn't transport such a huge amount of wealth to Lantian County at once.

"Those craftsmen have already arrived in Lantian County, right?"

Besides money, what Zhang Yuan cares most about is the talents under Zhuo Wangsun.

These people are all professionals, and there is not much difference between blacksmithing and casting money.

Besides, Zhuo Wangsun was first engaged in iron smelting, and did not do processing.

The difference between pouring molten iron into the mold and pouring molten copper into the mold is that the melting point of copper is lower and the efficiency is faster.

"It's all here, how do you plan to distribute those people, Ayuan?"

"It is impossible to get Chang'an City, I plan to divide them into two parts, one part is in Lantian County and the other part is going to Du County.

I've bought a lot of real estate that could be turned into an ironworks with a little tweaking. "

Zhuo Wangsun nodded. It was also a coincidence that what the two wanted to do could be combined in this way.

It is estimated that Sang Hongyang did not think that Zhang Yuan could properly arrange all the people under Zhuo Wangsun's subordinates.

"A Yuan, your efficiency has always been so fast, but will you offend the emperor?"

Zhuo Wangsun was still a little scared. Today Liu Che can order the entire call-up order, but who knows what order will be issued tomorrow.

“Since I started doing this, there has been absolutely no reason to stop.

When His Majesty sees that the territory of the Han Dynasty is no longer in chaos due to various currencies, the governments at all levels can also directly collect copper coins when collecting taxes every year.

Your Majesty should know our achievements today. "

Zhang Yuan focused on the whole world, while Zhuo Wangsun focused on himself.

Fortunately, this business is a win-win situation for both the common people and the operators.

Zhang Yuan ate, drank and chatted with Zhuo Wangsun, and soon it was getting dark.

Seeing that Zhuo Wangsun was really tired, Zhang Yuan ended the meal early.

For the next few days, Zhuo Wangsun still needs to stay in Chang'an, and those personnel in Zhuo's blacksmith shops all over the country still need to figure it out.

However, this is not something Zhang Yuan should worry about. Zhang Yuan focused on the craftsmen who came to Chang'an City and the wealth provided by Zhuo Wangsun.

Paper mills and blacksmith shops have sprung up in Lantian County and Du County like mushrooms after rain.

Du County naturally focuses on the business of paper mills, while Lantian County focuses on the business of casting money.

The business of the paper mill can continue forever, and it is naturally the best choice to be next to the Taixue in Du County.

The iron smelting industry and the minting rights will be nationalized sooner or later, and Zhang Yuan will definitely put the industry in Lantian County, which is closest to his home.

In the future, these shops will be abandoned, and the Zhang family, which has grown in size, will be able to move to Lantian County to live.

Summer is coming soon.

The war on the frontier has been going on.

The military ministers mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to continuously attack Yuyang County.

When Han Anguo couldn't hold on at first, he asked Chang'an for help.

Liu Che immediately sent Wei Qing to lead the frontier defense.

The big men have fought defensive battles for decades, and the generals are basically familiar with what tactics they should use to face the Huns.

Initiating an active attack on the grassland, the Han army was not afraid of the Huns army. Now that there are cities and the Great Wall to rely on, Wei Qing can deal with these Huns more easily.

But this is a protracted war, and the Huns plan to fight until autumn before retreating.

Both sides are powerful, but the loss of the Han army is greater. The Huns graze directly north of the Great Wall. When the war comes, they gather and graze when there are no enemies.

For them, it was nothing more than moving the big Shan Yuting from Langjuxu Mountain to the grassland north of Yuyang County.

However, it would cost a lot of food and supplies for the big Han to mobilize the army to enter the northern border. Even if there is no loss of personnel, the consumption of materials is a headache.

The fighting in the north is not the most nervous thing.

Liu Che issued a tweet order in May.

The heirs of the princes all over the world went crazy because of this.

What should come has finally come.

Zhang Yuan suddenly had the feeling of witnessing history. He was witnessing history every day in Dahan, witnessing the wheel of time slowly rolling forward.

"Until today, I don't believe that one person's idea can change the world."

In Xin'anhou Mansion at the foot of Lantian Mountain, there was torrential rain in the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning from time to time.

Zhang Yuan was drinking tea with a man who could already see his old age in the pavilion.

"Master Hou is talking about villains?"

This man is Jifu, he specially waited for one day to find Zhang Yuan.

He understood the meaning of the Tweet Order, but it was not as profound as Zhang Yuan understood.

To put it bluntly, Jifu chose such a day to come to Zhang Yuan in order to find a feeling of equality between the two.

Before, he was too weak in front of Zhang Yuan, but the decree issued by Liu Che today is from him, which can give him some confidence.

So here he is.

After Zhang Yuan heard the reason, he also respected Jifu.

Ji Fu is indeed smart. If Zhang Yuan was just an ancient man, he would definitely not have thought of this method.

"Well, I'm talking about you, you may not be able to imagine what changes your ideas will bring to Huaxia."

Zhang Yuan did not use Dahan but Huaxia. The influence of the Tweeting Order is thousands of years old, and it is an important decree for Dahan to complete the transition from the enfeoffment system to the county system.

"The villain is only worrying about the country, and I don't want to see the phenomenon that the big man can't lose his tail because of the power of the princes."

Jifu took a sip of tea and spoke very relaxed words.

But inside and outside the words seem to be saying that I am no worse than you Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan didn't mind either, now that the identities of the two were too different, he couldn't feel any hostility towards Ji Fu anymore.

"I'm curious how you came up with this idea?"

Zhang Yuan picked up a special teapot and poured some tea for Jifu.

“It came to me quite by accident.

One winter day, the villain saw a family fetching melted ice water to drink.

The family did not put the whole ice into the pot to boil the water, but smashed all the ice cubes into small pieces before putting them in the pot.

Only then did the villain understand that even if there is a high temperature outside, a complete piece of ice will melt at a much slower rate than several small pieces of ice of the same weight.

The villain thinks of those princes, thinks of the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, the emperor wants to do something to the princes, even if he exerts great pressure, the effect will be slow, and if he licks the ice with his tongue, his tongue may stick to it.

It can be divided into countless small princes. Even if they rebel, it will be no pain to the empire, so this is why such a tactful method was thought of. "

Zhang Yuan doesn’t know if the story Ji Fu told exists or not, anyway, the ancients would always come up with a story and then tell you a big truth.

Whether it exists or not, Zhang Yuan still admires Jifu.

This man is wise and talented, otherwise Dou Ying, Tian Fu and Zhu Fuyan would not have valued him so much.

"Mr. Jifu can get a glimpse of great wisdom from the little things in life. I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Zhang Yuan picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp.

Jifu also finished the tea in the bowl.
