Chapter 242: The Most Dangerous Profession in Tang Country, Woodcutter(1/2)
"Buzz~~"
The arrow missed and hit the tree not far away.
The leopard was frightened and turned around to run away. Liu Chang chased after it on horseback. Liu Chang fired again and again. He fired several rounds, but his accuracy was not very good. Liu Chang couldn't hold his breath and shot easily before he took aim. This made him
The hit rate was very touching. The leopard fled in all directions. Liu Chang saw that he had missed several shots and the leopard was about to disappear into the bushes. He couldn't help but became furious. He suddenly jumped off the horse and headed towards
He threw the spear in his hand in the direction of the leopard.
With a wailing cry, the leopard was pinned to the ground, fluttered a few times, and then fell to the ground.
Liu Chang was overjoyed, stepped forward, kicked him a few times, and cursed: "Let you run away again!"
Only then did the soldiers catch up with the king and stood beside Liu Chang, "The king's magic shot... uh... the king's magic throw!"
Liu Chang raised his head and laughed. There are still ferocious beasts in various places today. Some can harm people, and some can injure domestic animals. Therefore, ferocious beasts are also serious harm. Of course, in areas like Jinyang where there are more people, ferocious beasts
There are still relatively few beasts, but in some mountains and forests in Taiyuan, Shangdang, ferocious beasts often come to harm people.
And if these ferocious beasts attack domestic animals, they often will not stop when they are ready. Instead, they will kill all the livestock and take away one of them... Because of the long-term war with the Xiongnu, the animal husbandry of the Tang State was very developed.
There are a lot of cattle and sheep,
Horses, dolphins, chickens, etc. Every time he harvested materials, Liu Chang liked to distribute them to people everywhere for them to raise. This is probably the reason why the Tang people were warlike. Those who participated in the war could get titles, but those who did not participated in the war
The common people can also benefit from it.
Liu Chang won the hearts of the people in the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, it was because of his personal bravery, which was passed down orally in the Tang Dynasty and was filled with too much mystery. On the other hand, Liu Chang was quite good to the people, and may not be as good as Zhao Wang, Wu Wang and others.
Because Liu
The chief often collected corvees, built roads, built cities, and transported grain... But he was not in vain. He worked for the king of Tang, and he could eat meat. On the contrary, he was like King Zhao, who treated the people
It's very good, but the people of Zhao still don't have enough to eat.
Liu Changren put away the body and asked proudly: "Is there any memorial?"
The reason why Liu Chang came here to hunt was not a temporary decision, but a report from the local government that there were ferocious beasts that were harming people, so he came to eliminate the ferocious beasts. Luan Bu shook his head, "No more... they were all killed by the king."
It’s clean...it’s time for the king to go back.”
"Your Majesty... If we kill these ferocious beasts excessively, then other animals will have no natural enemies, and hares and the like will harm the cultivated land..."
Luan Bu persuaded, "Okay, okay, stop talking, I know it!"
"Is there an envoy from King Zhao?"
"Not yet."
Liu Chang mounted his horse and led everyone towards the county seat. Luan Bu whispered: "Your Majesty, King Zhao helped the Tang State send troops before and suffered heavy casualties... More than 10,000 people died on the front line...
.We should make some compensation.”
"I know."
"This time Yan State is going to conquer Liaodong, and the reason why the temple can agree is because of the king... I think that although King Yan is close to you, he is not in harmony with the kings and is ambitious..."
"What, do you think King Yan is going to rebel?"
"That's not true... Although King Yan is arbitrary, he has never even ridden in a six-carriage chariot... He has never acted arbitrarily."
Liu Chang always felt that Luan Bu's words had other meanings.
"It's just that King Yan's military behavior is definitely not a good thing... When we meet, please slow down, I think he has the idea of forcing the king to take the throne, which is very dangerous... Zhang Buyi is just a court official.
Lieutenant, even if you have such an idea, you can't do anything, but although King Yan's country is weak, it is still a prince..."
"I know! Don't worry!"
They chatted and entered the city. Liu Chang didn't like to be disturbed when hunting, so he dressed in casual clothes. Except for the local magistrate, no one knew that he was the king. He went hunting in various places and also liked to make up his own identity.
, he said that he was a descendant of the Taiwei family.
"Your Majesty, there is also the matter about Xia Wuji... A letter came just now, saying that the temple had also learned about the news, and also sent someone to ask if they could make a copy of Bian Que's book and send it to Chang'an...
."
"Hahaha, the wise men in Chang'an were also deceived? Could it be that even Chen Ping was deceived?"
"It's Prime Minister Zhou."
"Hey, this old man, this old man is straight, you know, he is too honest..."
Liu Chang got off his horse and came to a wine shop. He asked for some drinks from the beautiful woman selling wine, and then continued to say to Luan Bu: "Just tell them what I think, and let the temples learn from it and train more doctors.
Isn’t this much better than collecting taxes? This temple is slower than us in everything it does!”
As Liu Chang spoke, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked with a smile: "Such a beautiful woman, why is she selling wine here alone?"
Luan Bu's face darkened and he turned away, not looking at this foolish king.
The beautiful woman was not restrained and said with a smile: "It's just because I haven't met a beloved person like you, so I am alone."
"Oh? Where are you from?"
"It's a local... repair! Don't go too far!"
As the beautiful woman spoke, she called to her son in the distance. Liu Chang glanced at the child. He was less than ten years old, but he looked familiar... Liu Chang smiled and asked: "His father
Woolen cloth?"
The beautiful woman's face suddenly became displeased, and she cursed: "Huh, just think of it as dead."
"My first beloved died on the battlefield, and then a noble man came here... He deceived me, and after being in love for a few months, he disappeared... Then I had this child... Fortunately, he stayed
Get some money so that I can continue to run the household..."
Liu Chang looked at the child and asked suspiciously: "Is the person who lied to you very fair, a little older, with a long beard, a tall figure, and always speaks with a righteous tone?"
The beautiful woman was shocked and asked: "That's right. Do you know him?"
"Okay... It's true... Hey, this guy is awesome... Luan Bu, tell this lady his address... Forget it, let's do this, you can just come with me
Come on, I'll take you to find that person, the business here..."
The beautiful woman hurriedly said: "I can leave the things here to my brother. Where is he?"
"Not far away, right in Jinyang!"
........
"Master!!"
When Liu Chang rushed into Zhang Cang's mansion, Luan Bu who was following Liu Chang was stunned.
Zhang Cang's mansion is always closed on weekdays, and government affairs are not handled in a private residence. Except for a few people, basically no one knows what is going on in the mansion. This is the first time for Luan Bu to come. When he followed the king
When I entered the mansion, there were singing and dancing everywhere. How should I put it, there were women everywhere.
Some were sitting in groups of three or three, chatting about something, and some were walking... Looking at it like this, you couldn't count how many people there were. Soon someone came to greet them.
They were a few young men. Luan Bu originally thought they were servants, but judging from the conversation between the king and them, it turned out that they were all Zhang Cang's sons.
As we walked all the way towards the inner courtyard, all we could see were women.
Luan Bu couldn't count how many there were. Anyway, there were definitely more than a hundred people. As for the children, there were even more. There were children running around and playing in the courtyard, and they could all conduct Chinese studies here... And that
The beautiful woman also followed them. When Zhang Cang came to greet him in disheveled clothes, the beautiful woman stared at him and cursed: "Why did you betray me?!"
Zhang Cang raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. The child beside her couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"You guys go and have a rest. I will come find you later."
The beautiful woman still wanted to speak, but when she saw how luxurious the mansion was, she still felt timid. Under the leadership of Zhang Cang's son, she left the place with her child.
Zhang Cang asked Liu Chang to sit on the upper seat, and he and Luan Bu sat next to him. Then he sighed and said: "Your Majesty... As a king, you should care about the affairs of your family and country. How can you always go out hunting and playing?
Woolen cloth?"
"Master is afraid that I will bring people back again, right?"
"It doesn't matter if the king goes out. Every time he goes out, he brings people back to me... What's the point?"
"Master still blames me?! I would also like to ask you, why do I always run into your old acquaintances wherever I go? Now that I am on the road, almost all the children I see look like you!"
Zhang Cang cleared his throat and said: "This is all my behavior when I was young. I was young and ignorant at the time."
"What happened when I was young? I just saw a woman holding a baby!"
"Ahem, why does the king come to see you?"
.......
"It's still a matter of farming. Master, you have been putting off this matter for a long time. It's time for there to be an outcome, right?"
“Haste makes waste.”
Zhang Cang said calmly: "It's almost spring. At this time, a large number of people are migrating to Shuofang and other places to cultivate and cultivate fields here. They will definitely be unable to catch up. We can only make plans after this autumn harvest.
Before that, I will prepare everything."
"Okay, I can wait for this matter. Then why don't you start building a posthouse on the way to Shuofang?"
"Because we are not sure about the scope of building the city, we can't start yet..."
To be continued...
