Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills
Chapter 254 I want to let Bingxian have a hot pot meal
Along the way, by asking questions actively, Fusu learned about Zhang Han's views on the Xiongnu and Qiang people.
In particular, when talking about setting up counties around Qinghai Lake, Zhang Han expressed high praise.
Although Fusu could sense that Zhang Han seemed to be trying to curry favor with him, he understood that Zhang Han did have a positive attitude towards expanding the territory and borders.
The ministers at that time were not like the slaves of the future. There were many ministers among them who dared to rebuke the emperor in public!
After recalling Zhang Han's victories in history, Fusu asked:
"Given that Jincheng County has not yet appointed a governor, it has only established a Lieutenant Colonel Protector of the Qiang, whose duties include taking full charge of military and political affairs and handling the war with the Qiang people, are you willing to take on this important responsibility and serve as the Lieutenant Colonel Protector of the Qiang? The salary level of the position is two thousand stones, and the position has the right to lead all actions involving the Qiang people."
These words were like thunder in Zhang Han's ears, and his eyes opened wide, unable to hide his inner shock.
The Lieutenant General Protector of the Qiang controlled the military and political power in a region. The key point was that Jincheng County was located in the border area, close to the Qiang area and the Xiongnu area, making it very easy for conflicts or wars to break out with them.
The Qin national system granted titles based on meritorious service, which reflected the close relationship between military power and nobility. For example, although his current position as the Minister of Works and the Minister of the Imperial Household enjoyed a salary of two thousand stones, his actual nobility was only that of a scholar-official Gongcheng. This meant that when he went out, he even had to bow to those officials below him.
Considering these factors, Zhang Han felt a little short of breath. He sat up straight and raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task!" Fusu waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for a deep salute, and then asked, "Who do you think should fill the position of the Minister of Works?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Han replied, "I recommend Zuoxiao Linggong Shugui. He comes from the family of the famous craftsman Lu Ban. He is proficient in roads and machinery. He is also hardworking and willing to bear heavy loads. He is capable of taking on greater tasks.
Just when you said that! Fusu nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Throughout the journey, Fusu had been listening to Changqu talking about how he should pacify the Qiang people in the south and the Yuezhi tribe in the west after his appointment, and how he should plan a land reclamation policy that emphasized both military and civil affairs.
At the same time, he announced that he would restart the policy of "dividing territory and residents" in Jincheng County, attracting people from counties and counties across Shandong to increase the population of Jincheng.
For farmers who moved to the new land, they would be exempted from rent and taxes for five years, and new plows would be provided by the Jiangzuo Xiaofu.
The concept of "dividing territory and residents" is that the court measured the land and distributed it to farmers for cultivation.
According to Qin Dynasty law, each family could be allocated 100 mu of land. This plan was never implemented five years after Qin Shihuang completed the unification, because most of the good land had been distributed.
After learning that Fusu planned to implement the "division of territory and residents" plan in Jincheng, Changqu became more confident about it.
After noon, the carriage team arrived at Shanglin Garden. Looking at the excited but slightly nervous Han Xin, Fusu thought: Oh, I have to make some friends with him first, after all, he is a military genius.
Han Xin's nervousness was understandable. At that time, he was not yet the famous Marquis of Huaiyin, but just a young man in his twenties who felt ignored by the world.
And now, he has been promoted directly from a homeless person to the emperor's royal attendant, and his future is limitless.
His desire to achieve something made him like this.
With Fusu's tacit consent, those who also attended the lunch included Assistant Ministers Li Cheng and Meng Ying, Li Shiqi who was about to be appointed as a Doctor of Imperial Academy, and Han Xin, the current Yulin Lang.
A few minutes later, a small copper hot pot made according to Fusu's design was placed on the tables of the guests with pre-burned carbon blocks in it.
Then, the hot pot is filled with various ingredients such as fish balls, cooked pork knuckles and beef, goat meat, bean curd skin and bean sprouts.
There was no way, because the peppers were still far away in another continent and blooming beautifully, the spicy taste of dogwood was not enough to satisfy Fusu's needs, and without sesame paste, he could not eat the traditional spicy hot pot.
So, recall the past in a way that is close to a high-end stew.
But the result was impressive: Meng Tian and Li Cheng, two young men from wealthy families, were sweating profusely, and the soldier who ate for free in the inn was naturally hard to resist. PS: I will post a recommendation page tomorrow, will you please give me your recommendation votes? (?)?
Tian Ji's pair of peach blossom eyes, like clear springs, are beautiful but lack some magic. When she looks directly at the other person, they carry a kind of affection that she wants to express but hasn't said out loud.
Zhao Ji's fingers were long and delicate. "Your Majesty stepped into the Yugui Palace twice yesterday, right?"
It turned out that she was boasting about her treatment. Tian Ji looked at Zhao Ji with the same eyes.
"That's right. Your Majesty lingered in Yugui Palace last night and was not willing to leave the people around him until dawn..." Zhao Ji answered in an elegant and deliberate manner.
Tian Ji's cheeks puffed up with anger and she slammed the table. Her plump breasts, which had so captivated Fusu, swayed a few times. "Go, call someone in!" There was a hint of indignation in her voice.
Faced with Zhao Ji's surprised question, "This is the royal residence, not a place exclusive to your palace. Please tell me who should be called?" She answered Zhao Ji's question with a little confusion.
When Tian Ji heard the name of the visitor announced by the palace maid, she was speechless for a moment, "That's true..."
Outside the door, a little palace maid dressed in plain palace maid attire came forward to greet him: "Excuse me, madam, are you the lady named Qi Rui?"
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and confirmed the maid's answer: "Is it that person, the leader of the Lantian family, the beloved daughter of the eldest princess of the Gaowu Marquis Mansion - Qi Rui?"
"Yes, she is here." The maid confirmed the information.
After hearing Qi Rui's name, Tian Ji's expression changed, alternately confused and excited. She looked at Zhao Ji, who also looked a little surprised and confused, and suddenly laughed. "In order to attract the favor of the monarch, some people don't know how to perform hard, and finally they are honored as 'madam'; but when Qi Rui entered the palace, she was given a higher status. It really makes people sigh that the world is unequal!" She laughed.
"The Lord did stay in the Jade Osmanthus Room last night, and he did not stop caring about you until the dawn." At this time, a second before Zhao Ji spoke, Qi Rui, who was standing at the gate, walked into the room and saluted, "Respectful, Madam."
Qi Rui stood in the soft light, wrapped in moon-white gauze. Her skin on her thin oval face shone like jade, and was even more eye-catching against the golden hairpin jewelry on her head. The pearl tassels decorated with gold threads swayed with her steps, like a beautiful fairy descending to the earth.
The two were attracted by the scene before them and admired in their hearts: "No wonder His Majesty directly named her 'Madam', the honor of the two words is indeed well-deserved."
At the same time, they muttered silently in their hearts: "How enviable... Men, men!" Although they were disdainful in their hearts, Zhao Ji quickly thought: "Although Madam Qi has been in front of me for many days, I have never heard of any summons from the king; and last night the king was uncharacteristically in motion and moved into another palace, and ignored our pleas... Perhaps, the king's heart is on someone else, and not us." She felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
"Now that you have been awarded the title of Madam, from now on we will treat our relationship as close as sisters." Tian Ji turned and walked towards Qi Rui, leading her to sit on the chair next to her.
"Well, although your body is not as plump as mine, and your buttocks are not as perky as mine, I think your waist is slender and soft, very charming!" After looking at the woman opposite, Tian Ji revealed a look full of envy, and began a series of groping and touching actions.
One of them had a weird smile, and the other one was secretly touching my buttocks from behind. Is this the harem? It's so scary. I really want to escape... Qi Ruier smiled awkwardly for a few times, and then cleverly escaped from Tian Ji's palm game field.
The maid in white palace dress came in again: "Madam, the chief eunuch Han Rang requests an audience."
Zhao Ji nodded and replied, "Hurry and ask him to come over."
A moment later, Han Rang rushed in. He looked at Concubine Qi with some confusion, bowed his head and saluted, "Welcome the two ladies and Concubine Qi."
Tian Ji asked: "Why are you running here instead of staying at His Majesty's side to serve him?"
Han Rang frowned slightly, thinking he had heard something similar before, so he put his hands together and said, "Report to the ladies: His Majesty has gone to the Shanglin Garden to handle official business. Please ask all the ladies to move to Wentang Palace to temporarily stay and escape the summer heat."
Zhao Ji frowned, "Why don't you let us stay in Lanchi Palace? What about my silk dyeing workshop?"
On the other hand, Tian Ji was curious and asked, "Where is Wen Tang Palace? I have never heard of this name before?"
Han Rang first turned to Zhao Ji and replied, "Your Majesty has specifically ordered that a greenhouse be built in the Lanchi Palace to prepare for the cold winter. Your silk dyeing workshop will be managed by personnel specially sent by the Ministry of Agriculture."
Afterwards, he said to Tian Ji: "As for Wentang Palace, which was the former Li Palace, the previous emperor built a bathroom with huge stones, called "Shenquan Tang". Later, Your Majesty used the remaining materials originally intended for the construction of the mausoleum to expand it into the current palace."
He further explained: "It is said that there is a constant temperature of hot water flowing out of it all year round, so it was named Tangquan Palace."
At the same time, His Majesty claims that bathing in warm spring water can not only cure chronic diseases, but also improve the skin, making it more delicate, smooth and elastic..."
Tian Ji and Zhao Ji exchanged glances and read the same thought in each other's eyes.
Tian Ji, with a calm and composed look on her face, suggested, "In that case, let's go along. Qi, would you like to sleep in the same room with me tonight?"
The salted fish is in great danger. Qi Ruier's face suddenly changed, but she still tried to pretend to be happy, "Everything is up to my sister's wishes..."
