I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

The northern part is full of flames of war, and the central part is not peaceful. Even the southwest has started troubles when the imperial court has no time to take care of it.According to the report of the commoner, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan ordered people to secretly cut off the bridge connecting with the Central Plains and block the roads, intending to sever the connection between Yizhou and the Central Plains.

At that time, it was Liu Yan who, out of selfishness, suggested that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty "abolish the history and establish a shepherd", and send a highly respected person to serve as the state shepherd to stabilize the world, and strongly hinted that he was one of the best candidates.However, the state shepherd's power is much greater than that of the governor, and his independence is comparable to that of the princes and kings who were self-respecting as mercenaries in the early years of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, Emperor Han Ling died early, and only Liu Yan and Liu Yu were entrusted with two state shepherds.Liu Xie also noticed the danger of the state herdsman early because of the romance, and he was determined not to divide the enfeoffment.

"The prosperity in the middle of Shu is the land of abundance, with thousands of miles of fertile fields. In the past, the emperor of Qin relied on the food supply in the middle of Shu to stabilize the world. Liu Yan, an old fox, heard the alchemists say that Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor, so he tried every means to propose a bad idea of ​​abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry. It really is a wolf's ambition to deceive Emperor Ling to occupy this great territory." Liu Xie was almost pissed off by the incompetent Emperor Han Ling, and he even forgot to call his father emperor, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. The letter that Yizhou presented that the bridge was broken and could not transport grain and grass to the court was swept to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The civilian guard who was in charge of listening to the changes of the local officials broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly advised: "Yizhou has high mountains and dangerous waters, and there are many passes. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not appropriate to make a big move at this time."

"One by one, they all took advantage of the fire and robbed them, knowing that the imperial court lacked skills." Liu Xie gritted his teeth.He didn't want to vent his anger, so he just shook his broad sleeves, and said coldly: "Go down." This rich land of abundance, he is bound to win.And it has long been planned to complete the large-scale production of grain in Yizhou and build the granary needed to calm the world.

Liu Xie sneered: Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the imperial army to come, but if Liu Yan thinks that he can sit back and relax, he is very wrong.If assassins are sent out, or the internal division is divided by a lot of money and profits, can Liu Yan still be able to prevent it?Moreover, Liu Yan's descendants are not promising, and they all stay in the capital as hostages, so he is not afraid that someone will fully inherit his power.He thought for a long time, and finally remembered a key name, he felt a little relieved, so he wrote quickly and asked the commoner guard to secretly send a letter to Xi Zhicai outside the palace.

Liu Xie misses Liu Yan's head in the distance, but he doesn't know that someone is also thinking about his life.On the same day, a thin middle-aged man begged to see Yuan Shao, who had been badly beaten by Gongsun Zan, and offered an assassination plan: "Since the public has the desire to reform the establishment, why not follow Dong Zhuo's example and take the bottom line, as if the person on the dragon chair is no longer there?" , Isn't it a matter of course to support Mingzhu to ascend the throne?"

After writing the letter, Liu Xie personally asked about the progress of smelting and burning paper cement.The blast furnace transformed by the water wheel and the power hammer has already been built, and now all kinds of weapons made of fine steel are being produced smoothly, and the cement has also been fired after many failures, but the amount is relatively small.

The newly built smelter is on the outskirts of the city, and there is also a renovated smelter in the city, which has been renamed Luoyang No. [-] Iron Smelting Bureau.Weapons are the most important thing in this troubled time, Liu Xie brought Xu Chu and many guards to inspect together.

Seeing the sudden arrival of the Son of Heaven, the director of the Metallurgy Bureau hurriedly put on his clothes, and walked out quickly while tying his belt, commanding in a panic: "Hurry up and change your clothes! Put away all the messy things! Tell everyone, don't talk nonsense!"

Before the words fell, the emperor's horse had arrived in front of him.

"Don't say anything, don't reveal the identity of the emperor, just treat it as a commoner guard coming down to inspect." Xu Chu spoke for Liu Xie: "Let them do whatever they need to do. On a hot day, let people put on clothes and work by the stove. Isn't that right? Is it hard to be human?"

Many workers in the smelter are working in full swing.It was the dog days at this time, and the flames were burning beside them. The craftsmen were all enduring the heat, wearing only a pair of thin obscene trousers, and working bare-chested.The director of the smelting bureau had a look of lovelessness: it is really inappropriate for the emperor to see this!I don't know if people from the Ministry of Rites will join him for a copy tomorrow.

Liu Xie saw the main spears and broadswords produced here, ordered the guards to test the quality, and asked the smelting officer and different craftsmen about the daily output in detail.There was not much difference between the surprise inspection and the previous written report, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

The temperature after the transformation of the blast furnace is very high. According to the craftsmen who faced the heat wave at the scene, it is estimated to be twice the temperature before.In the past, the body temperature of this body was low, and it seldom sweated.Although he stood far away, Liu Xie felt the steaming heat after only a while, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down like a stream.Xu Chu disliked other people's lack of strength, so he personally brought a big fan and fanned him with all his strength, so that Liu Xie felt much better, so he continued to ask the craftsmen, besides professional questions, they also asked about their wages.

Although the craftsmen worked very hard, and the sweat from lying down on their bodies could form a small puddle under their feet, they didn't care much, and said with a smile: "You don't know, our work can be worth it in one day." You have to farm for ten days, and the wages are paid directly by the court, never in arrears, and it is decent to say it. Everyone wants to be able to do it day by day while they are young and strong."

The corners of Liu Xie's lips curled up, the smile didn't reach his eyes, he just thought that there was nothing he could do about the pension.In the end, he only said: "Work hard, if you work hard for five or ten years, the imperial court will give you a reward."

The method of cement has been explored, and according to the craftsmen, the output will increase in a few days.Liu Xie ordered to go down and try to smear the city wall with cement in ten days to enhance the firmness of the city wall.In addition, a solid archery tower should be built with cement and bricks at the four corners of the city wall.

Now that the temperature has risen, the conditions for firing glass have also been met. Liu Xie turned his head and asked the smelters standing beside him: "Is there anyone who knows how to make glass?"

The smelters were sweating on their foreheads, kneeling nervously: "Your Majesty, there is nothing like this in humble positions."

Liu Xie was taken aback, but remembered that the glass was not called by this name at this time, so he comforted him: "Don't be nervous, I just asked casually, this thing is also called Liuli, do you know?"

A smelting official thought for a while and replied respectfully: "The humble official doesn't know how to fire, but I heard that there are skilled craftsmen in Tianshui, Pingliang and other places in the northwest who are good at making glazed beads and glazed walls."

Liu Xie nodded and ordered: "Send someone to find some skilled craftsmen, record the firing method, and try to see if you can make a flat and large glazed wall." Worried that the people below will use chicken feathers to make arrows, he Added another sentence: "Remember to invite someone to come here, not to force it."

After days of toil and anger, Liu Xie tragically got angry when he came back from the smelter. His throat was hoarse, his gums were swollen and painful, and a series of blisters formed in his mouth.If it is in modern times, eat some Niuhuang Jiedu tablets and swallow a watermelon cream and endure it.In the palace, Liu Xie spoke hoarsely, and directly frightened the big maids, little yellow gates and personal guards around him, and everyone knelt down and begged him to call the medical officer quickly.

Liu Xie's head was full of black lines, which seemed to be a serious illness. He also wanted to see the Quyuanli made by Zhang Qiao in person to show his importance to farming. put off.

However, since drinking the dehumidification prescription prepared by Zhang Zhongjing, his body has become much lighter, and now his perception of pain is gradually recovering. He can feel the discomfort in his throat and his tongue is also a little sore.He thought for a while, Chinese medicine is mysterious and miraculous, so let the medical officer take a look.

This is the first time that Liu Xie called a medical officer to see a doctor after he ascended the throne. Two or three medical officers rushed to the emperor's bedroom, carefully looked, smelled, asked, and cut, and finally heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, your majesty is very angry. , deficiency of lung yin, the old minister will prescribe you a prescription for clearing heat and improving eyesight, decoction and taking for two days."

"In addition, Your Majesty should pay attention to a light diet, eat less meat and fish, and drink more hot water."

Liu Xie responded and was amazed: the idea of ​​drinking more hot water has been around so early?

After the medical officers discussed it, the leader wrote a prescription in a frantic manner.

Liu Xie took a closer look, and sure enough, regardless of ancient or modern times, ordinary people still can't understand the words of this prescription.So he asked, "What's in there?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prescription is mainly composed of honeysuckle, licorice, skullcap, berberine, platycodon, cassia and licorice, supplemented by fritillary, platycodon and scrophulariae."

Liu Xie frowned when he heard that there were licorice, coptis and fritillary.In order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, it is not good to dislike the pain of medicine in front of everyone.As a result, two hours later, when the maid brought a bowl of dark soup, Liu Xie was in a bad mood.This smell, just smelling it, makes people feel sick, and it is several times darker than the tea made by Cai Wenji.He had no choice but to back away from the left and right, wrinkled his pretty face, and poured it down one mouthful at a time.Fortunately, the maid thoughtfully prepared sweet and sour dried apricots, candied dates and kumquat cakes.The golden candied dates are bright and translucent, the surface is a beautiful amber color, and it tastes sweet.Liu Xie ate ten in one gulp, before suppressing the bitterness in his heart.
