After the world was divided into six parts, the six countries all congratulated their ministers, built palaces, and ran for princesses, preparing to dream of becoming one of the six kingdoms in the pre-Qin period.
Zhang Xiu didn't want to stick to these common etiquette.
Building the palace cost a lot of money, and this was not his ambition. After unifying the world in the future, the capital would not be located in Guanzhong, which is surrounded by mountains. Although the safety of Guanzhong is good, it is easy for future generations of monarchs to not be born in worries. Die in peace' vigilance.
I prefer to think of the Ming Dynasty's tough attitude of "the emperor guards the country, the king dies for the country".
So when Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Liu Ye proposed to build the Jing Palace, Zhang Xiu decisively refused and told them that the current focus was not on reputation, but on strength.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, if your name is not right, your words will not be right. Without the King's Palace, there will be no king's majesty. It will be looked down upon by the people in the world, and it will also affect the morale of the soldiers. Therefore, the King's Palace must be built."
Li Ru: "I agree, the king must have the air of a king. My lord cannot use me to call himself in the future, but can only use the name Gu. This is a distinction between high and low. How can my lord be called the same as me?"
Liu Ye: "I second the proposal and ask the lord to order the construction of Prince Jing's Palace."
Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Liu Ye said in unison: "Please, my lord, order the construction of Prince Jing's Palace!"
After listening to the words of his three confidants, Zhang Xiu suddenly realized that his thoughts were too avant-garde. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, all people in the world have been deeply educated by Confucianism. , must abide by the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Rules. Everyone has a very deep-rooted idea of feudal autocratic rule in their hearts. In their eyes, the surname Zhang is already their backbone.
It is also the national surname of the world.
These unchangeable facts must be abided by as the Romans do. It can be said that it is a manifestation of a weak culture and cannot be changed at present.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xiu said: "Since all the princes are working together, let's build the Jing Palace, but the scale should not be too grand or luxurious. Simplicity is the long-lasting beauty."
"Here!"
After Zhang Xiu made a concession, they could not go any further.
"Let's just change the previous General's Mansion and expand it a little. What do you think?" Zhang Xiu still didn't want to waste unnecessary manpower and material resources here.
The three of them shook their heads.
Zhang Xiu laughed angrily at their unanimous agreement: "Okay, you can make your own choice. Is Cai Mao here? The most important thing right now is the economy. Guanzhong, Nanyang, and Hanzhong are our economic centers of gravity and must develop quickly. This will give us a solid foundation to conquer the world in the future.”
"Waiting outside." Liu Ye said.
"Let him come in. Leave the economic and trade matters to Degui. He is more familiar with this aspect. The next step is how to capture Yizhou. You can draw up three plans and give them to me."
"Called alone!" Jia Xu reminded.
Zhang Xiu had no choice but to say again: "Can you draw up three plans for me?"
"Here!"
The three of them agreed with satisfaction and then left.
Zhang Xiu grinned helplessly. This lonely character was really unaccustomed to him.
Not long after, Cai Mao walked in in a hurry. Due to the fatigue of the past year, he had lost a lot of weight, from the original 160 pounds to the current 130 pounds.
"Your Majesty, Cai Mao, pays homage to the King."
Nowadays, Zhang Xiu's status is different from that in the past. All ministers must kneel down and worship him when they see him.
"Get up, how is the thing I asked you to make?" In order to develop the economy quickly and effectively, coupled with the huge profits from Yueying Paper, Zhang Xiu opened up his second line of office and governor.
Many things in later generations do not exist now.
For example: chairs, tables, beds.
If these three things were manufactured and promoted, I believe it would be a huge windfall, so Zhang Xiu drew a sketch of the style and gave it to Cai Hao.
What Zhang Xiu asked was the production progress of these three things.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are no difficult technical problems with these three items. After research by the craftsmen and I, we have made several styles. Please take a look." He said, waving his hand towards the door.
After a while, several people came in carrying tables and chairs.
The table is square and square, maintaining the original color of the solid wood. The table top is polished smooth and smooth, highlighting the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. There are also several patterns carved on the four corners of the table.
The chair was built according to later ergonomics, with a stooped backrest.
"Um……!"
Zhang Xiu sat down on it and finally felt the long-lost comfort. He asked Cai Mao, "Have you ever made this chair?"
Cai Mao's expression changed greatly and he immediately knelt down: "This is what the king requested. I dare you to sit down."
Zhang Xiu was speechless.
My dear Piaopiao's words made the hearts of these ancient Confucians break.
Then he said: "It's not a treasure. From now on, these chairs, tables and beds will be produced in large quantities and sold everywhere. We will use these wood to exchange for precious economy."
"Can anyone seat this?" Cai Hao thought this was for the exclusive use of the palace, but he didn't expect it to be a commodity for sale, which he couldn't accept.
Zhang Xiu told him with practical actions.
He stood up, held Cai Mao's shoulder with one hand, and before he could react, he sat him on a chair, pushed him back, and let his back rest on the backrest: "How about it, is it still comfortable?"
Cai Mao was so frightened that his heart was about to jump. How could he feel comfortable?
Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he stammered when he spoke: "Ah... I... uh... feel... comfortable!" While speaking, his whole body was shaking, and his eyes were vacant and fearful as he looked at Zhang Xiu.
Seeing that Cai Mao was scared to death, he stopped embarrassing him, pulled him up, and sat down: "According to this specification, one table with four chairs, mass production, and then use your Cai family's channels to sell to various places .”
With his butt out of the sea of misery, Cai Hao took a breath and asked: "Is this an exchange for food or wealth?"
"Half is exchanged for food and half is exchanged for wealth." Zhang Xiu said, "The purpose of selling these things this time is to revitalize the economy. Wealth and food are both things we urgently need, Degui! You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you must speed up." speed up."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission!"
With Zhang Xiu's affirmation, Cai Mao's confidence greatly increased and he was confident in speaking.
"Okay, I... am waiting for your good news."
"Here!"
Cai Mao left happily.
Zhang Xiu sat on the chair and enjoyed it. It had been four or five years since he traveled back in time, and he had never enjoyed it so relaxedly. Now that he was stronger, the responsibilities on his shoulders were heavier.
His goal is to unify the country and enjoy cherry blossoms in Tokyo.
Closing his eyes, the setting sun shone on his face, which was very warm. There was a comfortable massage on his shoulders. The acupuncture points were grasped very well. Without opening his eyes, Zhang Xiu knew that he was a step trainer.
I don't know whether it was because I didn't work hard enough or for some other reason. Liu Rui and Xiao Qiao both gave birth to sons for themselves. Da Qiao both had swollen bellies, but Trainer Bu's belly didn't move.
Trainer Bu was also annoyed with himself.
In ancient feudal thought, a woman who cannot bear children for her husband is considered useless, and in serious cases may be abandoned. This is the original reason why the mother returns with her son.
So the step trainer is also very anxious.
