Chapter 555
In the third year of Wude (27 AD), the fifth reunification passed by Luoyang.
In the second year, the fifth reunion hurriedly came out of Longyou, rushed to Heji, and personally slapped the final battle against the Red Eyebrow.
On the first day of the first year, I went to Hebei to organize a guide to Jizhou.
Until this year, I can finally stay at home and spend the New Year comfortably. Considering this, Dou Rong, who had just been promoted to the right prime minister, has put in full force and wants to perform well.
It is said that as early as Laba, Dou Rong proposed to the Fifth Reun with a plan filled with several rolls of paper: "The scholars and people in Luoyang are happy to become Zhongjing, and they all want to celebrate. The emperor regards the world as his home. It is not magnificent and does not value majesty. It is better to order the ministers, officials and people to perform a great honor in the Nangong."
In Dou Rong's plan, the Nangong dynasty will gather thousands of people, and the ministers will shout long live, and then hold a banquet to entertain everyone. At the same time, let Luoyang people enter the palace to perform a hundred fish and dragon performances.
"The Dongyi will be included in "The Spear Dance", the Southwest Yi will be performed in "The Feather Dance", the Di Qiang will be performed in "The Halberdance", and the North Yi will be performed in "Dan Dance", to show that our dynasty is invincible and in all directions!"
But the fifth reunion refused: "The world's wars have not yet disappeared, and the east, west, south and north are not yet determined. Generals and soldiers are still fighting against the enemy outside. The people have just survived the chaos. How can I bear to spend a thousand gold coins just for the fun of the dynasty? I issued an edict that during the dynasty, apart from the daily court visits, the palace should not be promoted, and the scholastic officials and the people will be happy at home."
This is the biggest difference between the fifth relationship and Wang Mang. Wang Mang wished that everyone in the world would be a "saint" like him. In the short term, the customs and customs would be changed, so that the different paths that Confucians hoped for would not reappear, but the fifth relationship was only strict with oneself and basically did not interfere rashly in the way of living the people.
How could Dou Rong not understand this? But as the right prime minister, he must make a statement. Promoting this matter can just highlight His Majesty's love for the people, and the right prime minister must be scolded a few times. The more scoldings, the safer Dou Rong will be.
On New Year's Eve the day before the festival, before the ministers entered the palace to pay homage, Di Wu Lun brought his son Di Wu Ming, strictly called him, and should be the Prince "Wu Ming" and went to the city wall of the Nangong Palace in Luoyang.
The prince is almost five years old. In the palace, he avoided the famine, evil diseases, and the destruction of the children of the same age outside. He looked very healthy, with red lips and white teeth. His eyes with single eyelids cannot be said to be very similar to the fifth relationship, but can only be said to be exactly the same.
And the education of the fifth reunion to his son has begun when he has a little knowledge of it.
The fifth relationship of education is too profound, and there is no hope for the future inheritance or even surpassing oneself. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. There may be surprises in Buddhism. As a father, the fifth relationship can only ensure that it is the most basic: companionship.
A few years ago, he traveled all over the place. When he stayed in Chang'an, he had to face mountainous memorials and uninterrupted visitors all day long. He took care of his wife and children less. Now the north is basically cleared, and suitable civil and military officials have been arranged in each position. The fifth relationship can save some attention.
Therefore, when he came to Luoyang, Di Wulun brought the queen and prince. The four or five-year-old child was to play. Di Wulun would take some time to stay with him for a while every day, and even held the baby after dinner, taking a walk on the Nangong wall, catching the remaining snow in winter.
The prince also likes to have fun on the city wall. When Di Wulun picked him up, his eyes could see further. But today's trip to Luoyang City was as neat as a small world, like a small world. But between him and Nangong, there was no strict guard against Chang'an. Even the heels of the palace wall were like others, and there were smoke from cooking fires. Suddenly, a crackling sound came. The child was not afraid, but became excited.
"It's Luoyang people who are burning firecrackers."
This firecracker is real bamboo, which is a custom in Luoyang. First, it burns a bamboo tube in front of the stairs to eliminate evil spirits in the mountains. The sound is not as loud as that of later generations, but when the entire city is rising and falling, the birds are still fleeing far away.
Among the people who followed the city of Difference Lunden, there was Du Du, a poet who had a deep prejudice against Luoyang. Most of them liked quietness. He frowned at the sound of firecrackers and asked Difference Lun for orders: "Your Majesty, I heard that firecrackers originated from the emperor's Tingliao, and the princes and officials and ordinary officials should not be abused."
Huan Tan, the Guanglu doctor who came up together, immediately retorted: "Why did I hear that firecrackers are burning, but the people want to use this to dispel the monsters of mountain smoke?"
He looked at the little prince at the emperor's hand, squatted down, and smiled and told the story: "I saw this from the "Shenyi Sutra" written by Dongfang Shuo."
"It is said that there is a monster on the Mang Mountain in Luoyang. It is more than one foot tall and has one foot. It is not afraid of people by nature. If it violates it, it will cause people to get cold and fever and get sick. This kind of weird person is called Shanshao, also known as a small one foot, and is like a nest. But if it is placed in a bamboo tube and burned in the fire, it makes a sound of Bipu, Shanshao will flee with fear."
Du Du claimed to be a good writer and powerful writer, but he had never seen this book at all. He was not easy to question Huan Tan's random fabrication and only refuted: "Does Huan do not believe in ghosts?"
Huan Tan rolled his eyes: "Shanshao is not a ghost, but a monster."
Du Du could only find another reason: "Even so, the houses in Luoyang are old, mostly built by the Han Dynasty before the Warring States Period. If today's dry things and firecrackers are set off, it may cause fires. It's better to order a ban!"
After hearing this, the fifth reunion stopped the two of them from arguing and said first: "No matter what the origin of firecrackers are, the people like to hear and see them, is the greatest etiquette. In the customs of various places, as long as they do not harm the heavens, the government should not rashly prohibit them, as for fire hazards..."
The fifth reunion said: "Isn't the Luoyang police officer newly built? Let's see if he can do a good job in firefighting."
This is the new system implemented by the Fifth Reunion in Luoyang. He found that except for Chang'an, which has institutions such as Jinwu and Jingzhao Yin, who have a large number of soldiers in charge of the capital's public security, public security is lacking in other big cities.
The population of big cities like Luoyang is often 100,000. The thiefs can only manage the tip of the iceberg and are corrupt. It is funny that those who eat official food do not do anything, but the gangsters of the underworld assume some of the "public security" functions, such as disputes, fire disasters, and the knights of all parties are sharing the worries of the people - and collecting a wave of protection fees, which is quite a bit of a magical feeling of gang members from a certain South American country fighting the epidemic for the government.
Since we decided to implement the Five Capitals system, the security agencies in each city must keep up with the times. The thief Cao and the internal officials have become so decayed that they are in harmony with the underworld that it is difficult to return. Even if they are all fired from re-recruitment, it is difficult to have a new life in this system.
The fifth reunification then decided to use Luoyang as a pilot to establish a new institution called "Police Cao" and take away some of the functions that were originally thief Cao and the internal officials.
"When the court issues a policy and issue a decree, it can be ordered to be carried out in each place; the people violate a law and violate a ban, and can be found through it. If there are any shortcomings in the local area and the customs are corrupt, the police officers can criticize the shortcomings and rescue them and sort them out. Therefore, there are poor departments in the local area. Generally speaking, those who patrol cities are called patrols, and their positions are based on protecting the people as the key point. There are four ways to protect the people: one is to put out fires; two is to sanitation; three is to check non-violations; and four criminals."
In the era of wooden cities, fires were often the biggest threat to destroy the prosperity of a place, and we must take it as a warning. Di Wulun personally pointed at Lieutenant Di Qibiao and others and formulated the police regulations. In addition to General Cao, a fang gate was set up in the four streets of Luoyang, and some Henan were transferred to serve as police officers. The efficiency of catching thieves was indeed much higher than that of local thieves Cao. It was only a matter of time to slowly replace it. In just one month, Luoyang's place gradually became quiet and the night was not rampant.
I think it is possible to organize the fire fighting in Lilu.
Seeing that the emperor was so polite, Du Du did not dare to speak again, and the fifth reunion did not want to be disturbed. Today he came to the Nangong City Wall to test something.
The officials of the Shaofu presented the things that had been built and pondered by the emperor for nearly half a year. It was a long cylindrical thing with a crystal clear crystal lens at each end. This was a treasure. The craftsman carefully wiped it with clean silk cloth and tried to avoid any stains. Although the fifth reunion had ordered the Shaofu to refine transparent glassware, it was a technology that had just begun. After all, the craftsmen racked their brains and tried many processes, but they still could not be completely transparent.
Wu Lun is particularly eager for glass, because he discovered something embarrassing in the past two years, and he actually felt a little...
Shortsighted!
"It's probably because I've read too many memorials under the candlelight." The fifth reunion also secretly regretted it, but the brightest candles these days are not as good as any light lamp in later generations. He is busy with government affairs and cannot even be summarized as 996. The people will make children in beds when it gets dark, but the emperor still has to complete the work, otherwise it will be a big deal if it is accumulated day and night.
Therefore, the fifth reunion only wants to make transparent glass as soon as possible and further create glasses to save one's increasingly anxious vision.
However, when will the transparent glass mature? Although there are many transparent crystals in the palace that pay tribute, it is fine to polish them smoothly, it is also a big problem to let craftsmen learn how to match the degrees. So they can only wait patiently for the time being. Before that, another thing was born first.
"Junshi."
The fifth reunion pointed out the most "material" guy in the court, and asked Huan Tan to come up and hand him the things in his hand: "Let's try this thing for me."
Huan Tan looked at the gadget in his hand, the brass-cast shell, the tentacles were cold, and there were thin transparent crystals on both ends, which were polished and protruded.
He didn't see the trick, so he raised it and wanted to point the big one at his eyes, but was corrected by the fifth reunion with a smile.
After finally putting his eyes to the small end, he looked at the other side of the city wall and saw a huge five-color flag appear in front of him, which made Huan Tan hurriedly put it down.
After his eyes left the Qianli Miles Miles, the scene that seemed like an illusion disappeared. The flag he had aimed at was still quite small. In front of him was the fifth reunion with a smile, and the prince who looked up at his hand was full of curiosity.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Huan Tan felt the weight of the thing in his hand and was quite surprised.
The fifth reunion said: "The ancients said that 'the eyes were thousands of miles away'. Although this thing could not be seen thousands of miles away, it could be seen clearly when it was hundreds of steps or even thousands of steps away. Therefore, it was named 'Thousand Mile Mile Mile', which is the military weapon to be sent to Cen Peng!"
