Emperor Liu Hong

() The affairs of the army are proceeding in an orderly manner. Liu Hong has inspected it several times and is quite satisfied.After this reform, the army has been completely reborn. In order to give the army a new look, Liu Hong decided to give the army a major facelift.

Liu Hong has already prepared for changing the army's clothing, and has already stored enough cotton cloth and cotton.Although the fabric is sufficient, Liu Hong does not want to make military uniforms according to the previous style.The style of Hanfu is loose and loose. It looks absolutely beautiful and stylish enough, but it is not suitable for horseback riding.

Many people have noticed this shortcoming. For this reason, King Zhao Wuling specially set up a "Hufu Riding She", but in Liu Hong's view, this is still not thorough.So Liu Hong decided that he would make military uniforms according to the clothing of later generations.

The clothing of later generations saves more materials than Hanfu.Liu Hong would not treat these soldiers badly, and decided to give them two sets of single clothes and one set of cotton clothes.The cotton-padded clothes are divided into coats, cotton-padded jackets, gloves, hats and cotton-padded shoes, a complete set.With these, the basic needs of soldiers are basically guaranteed.

There are so many military uniforms to be made, it would have taken a lot of work to put them in the past.But now, this is a big deal that everyone is vying for.

The main reason is that now it is different from the past, weaving has hydraulic looms.And after Ma Jun's improvement, it is no worse than the famous Jenny machine of later generations.With the sewing machine for making clothes, it took several days to make one piece of clothes, but now several pieces can be easily made in a day.

Such a good thing, of course, can't be cheap for others, Liu Hong directly threw the order to the chamber of commerce, and he didn't have to worry about other things at all.

As soon as the new military uniform came out, Liu Hong put on one first.For Liu Hong, Hanfu is good, but it is too hot to wear in summer.Liu Hong wanted to change his clothes a long time ago, but being alone, being too unconventional is not a good thing, so Liu Hong held back.

Now there is a chance, the army is changed, and Liu Hong sets an example.The emperor wore it, and the soldiers would not have any objections because of the weird clothes.As for Liu Hong, he no longer needs to cover his prickly heat, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

In the blink of an eye, it was May. During this time, he was reforming the army and changing the clothes of the army. Liu Hong was very busy.Liu Hong is just a person who is greedy for enjoyment. If you want him to keep busy like this, he won't do it.So whenever he had free time, he got a recliner, lay down in front of the main hall, and enjoyed watching all kinds of beauties in uniforms walking back and forth in front of him.

Liu Hong was having a good time watching it, when suddenly it got dark, and then someone beat gongs and drums, yelling that the dog is eating the sun.

With such a bluff, Liu Hong knew that a solar eclipse had occurred.Coming from later generations, Liu Hong knew that eclipse was a very common natural phenomenon, so he didn't take it seriously.But after a while, Sili Xiaowei went to the memorial, saying that Sangong's inaction caused a warning from heaven and asked Liu Hong to replace Sangong.

For this memorial, Liu Hong took it as a joke, "What joke are you kidding, every solar eclipse will replace Sangong! In the next few years, there will be solar eclipses every year, sometimes several times a year, How many Sangongs do I have to prepare to exchange for it."

Liu Hong didn't respond to the impeachment of Captain Sili. This is a big deal. Not only Captain Sili, but also Yushi Zhongcheng and Shang Shuling joined the ranks of impeachment, which made Liu Hong feel dizzy for a while. .Finally, in desperation, they had no choice but to listen to their opinions and let Hu Guang, a doctor of the Taizhong, replace Xuan Feng's Situ position, and they were done.

Suffering from such a dumb loss, Liu Hong was as aggrieved as he wanted.He doesn't care if the three men change or not.These people were not his direct descendants in the first place, but he had never been angered by this.

It's fine if it's just a little bit of anger, but if this matter is not resolved, if the solar eclipse happens in the future, it will be too late to delay the business.

"Forget about this time, I will never allow such things to happen in the future."

Thinking of this, Liu Hong called the person in charge of the newspaper.Ask him to arrange a report to introduce the cause of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse, explaining that this is just a very normal astronomical phenomenon, not a warning from heaven.In order to strengthen the credibility, Liu Hong also reported the occurrence times of the next few solar eclipses according to the records in the history books to prove it.

Although Liu Hong's newspaper has charged, the price is not expensive.Most scholars don't care about this little money.Therefore, the sales volume of newspapers has not decreased because of the charges. In the capital alone, there are more than [-] copies per day.

With such a large circulation, it can be seen that many people are paying attention to the newspaper.As soon as Liu Hong's report appeared, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

People heard for the first time that they lived on a sphere and revolved around the sun.Although it is also explained in it, on the sea, the first thing you see is always the sail, which shows that the water surface is not flat, otherwise you will see the whole ship.But for this statement, most people still can't accept it.

A calm person, after reading it, just smile and forget it.But the irritable person directly denounced this statement as heresy and demanded severe punishment from the imperial court.

For this statement, many people agreed, and in the end it really brought trouble to the court.

"What, ask me to shut down the newspaper and arrest the person who published the cause of the eclipse? Isn't this nonsense!"

Closing down the newspaper would cut off Liu Hong's fortune and cut off people's money, just like killing his parents. According to this statement, how could Liu Hong easily let the person who suggested it go.

"Are you out of your mind? You can bring this kind of matter to the court." Looking at the minister who proposed, Liu Hong said again, "I have said that everyone has the right to speak. As long as He didn't endanger the country or the people, so why should I shut down the newspaper? Why should I arrest him? If I arrest you for no reason, would you be willing?"

Seeing that the minister still wanted to refute, Liu Hong said directly: "I tell you, as the emperor, I want to guarantee everyone's right to speak, and not to offend people because of words, this is the most basic."

This sentence resonated with everyone, whether they agreed with that statement or not, everyone applauded this sentence.

"Didn't that person have a deduction? He said the time of the next solar eclipse. Let's see if he's right. If it's right, it means that what he said is true. If it's not right, it's just a joke. Now, is it necessary to be so serious? I am here in the court, which is the place where state affairs are handled, and such matters have to be brought to the court, don’t you think I am too free.”

The ministers really felt that Liu Hong was too idle, and he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, but they dared not say it.

However, Liu Hong also took the opportunity to set up a news management organization and completely controlled public opinion.Now even if someone else runs a newspaper, it is useless. If you cannot pass the management, you will not be able to publish it, and it is useless to have a newspaper.
