Jiang Chong's expression twisted for a moment. The Qin Dynasty was the previous dynasty to the Han Dynasty. Generally, people did not like to mention the previous dynasty. Even if they did, it was in a critical manner. After all, the previous dynasty perished in the second generation.
However, Liu Tan can bring it up, but he cannot agree to it, otherwise something might go wrong.
Jiang Chong smiled awkwardly and said, "Please explain clearly, Your Highness."
Liu Tan raised his chin and said, "Look at them, they're moving in such a chaotic manner. Even ants have a certain pattern when traveling, but now everything is messed up. Why not give them two tracks, one going out and one coming back? If that doesn't work, make more. This way, at least they can be more efficient and avoid fighting over the road."
Yes, in just a short while, Liu Tan had seen several fights due to road-hogging. After all, it was a Gobi Desert, and there were not many flat places where a wheelbarrow could move forward smoothly. Everyone would subconsciously choose to go there, but with so many people, it was naturally crowded, and without someone to maintain order, it would be easy for a collision. Once a collision occurred, the wheelbarrow would tilt directly, and sand would be scattered all over the ground, and it would have to be reassembled.
Everyone was already very angry, and this made things even more annoying.
Liu Tan stopped the transportation temporarily and then arranged for people to start digging the tracks.
Although the rails and other things protrude from the road, there are no conditions now, so we can only dig a regular pit for the wheelbarrow to pass through.
Liu Tan's plan was naturally the shortest distance between the two straight lines, and he also dug four more lines based on the number of people.
After all four tracks were dug, we arranged to line up and choose the two tracks on our right. As expected, there was much more order and efficiency was increased.
This time, Jiang Chong was truly impressed: "Your Highness is indeed very clever and ingenious."
The standardization of writing and measuring of wheels is actually something that many educated people know. Even without being educated, some ordinary people still remember it.
After all, forcing people to use a certain language and a certain writing system is an act that can almost bring about earth-shaking changes in people's lives, and it will probably be difficult to forget it in just a few hundred years.
Liu Tan shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm ingenious, but some people are unwilling to use it. Just because something has disappeared doesn't mean it has no merit. Completely abandoning advanced things is the ultimate fall into evil."
Jiang Chong took a breath and thought to himself, it's a good thing your surname is Liu, otherwise you would be held accountable for just these few words, do you know that?
No, even if his surname was Liu, it wouldn't work. The emperor reacted so quickly and sent support to the fifth prince. It was obvious that he got the news very early, so it was basically known to everyone that the fifth prince had the emperor's spies around him.
You still dare to say this? Aren’t you afraid that your father will punish you when you get back?
If it were before, Jiang Chong, who always adhered to the principle of loyalty to His Majesty, would definitely not say anything and would just complain in his heart. But now... he felt that it would be a bit unkind not to remind the Fifth Prince, and could not help but say: "Your Highness, you can't say this casually."
Liu Tan looked at Jiang Chong and laughed. "I know what you're worried about. Using copper as a mirror can correct one's attire, using people as a mirror can clarify one's gains and losses, and using history as a mirror can reveal one's rise and fall. Do you think your father doesn't know this?"
Jiang Chong: ...
If you're not really afraid, why are you speaking so loudly? Isn't it just reminding the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to report these words as well?
However, Jiang Chong finally had more respect for Liu Tan. Just based on the few words he said, if you think about them carefully, they are indeed thought-provoking.
Jiang Chong straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to Liu Tan and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness, for your guidance."
"Hahahahahaha, Mr. Jiang Ye, you're too kind. What advice can I give you?" Liu Tan was heartbroken as he helped Jiang Chong up.
He actually just wanted to debate with Jiang Chong, telling him that even if the previous dynasty died after two generations, not everything was bad, and the real thing was to take its essence and discard its dross.
Even if we take a step back, the First Emperor himself was warmongering, but that was the way it was in that era. As for the subsequent waste of money and manpower, to be honest, more of the blame lies with his son!
His tomb was built by Hu Hai. It is not known whether Hu Hai built a luxurious tomb for his father to make up for his guilt of usurping the throne. You know, the original design was already luxurious enough, and he directly took it to a higher level. From today's perspective, it is a treasure of the flower-growing family, but in that era it was really the people's money.
If Fusu had come to power, the result would definitely not have been like this.
The most important thing is the heir, but Liu Tan didn't want to talk about it proactively, so he had to talk about the matter at hand.
After being reminded by Jiang Chong, he remembered that everyone in the dynasty from top to bottom is the biggest Qin hater. He, a passerby fan, would seem out of place among them. If Emperor Liu Che heard about it, he might redouble his efforts to deal with him when he returns!
Well, he was already prepared to be punished when he returned, but he definitely didn't want to add to the burden.
So he had to add another sentence, and in order to increase credibility, he temporarily stole the famous saying of Li Shimin and Li Erfeng, just hoping that when he returned and Liu Che dealt with him, he would be more lenient.
The embroidered uniform envoy did report Liu Tan's words. In fact, Liu Tan thought that his people would pick out the key points to report. However, what he didn't expect was that the embroidered uniform envoy reported almost everything he said and did except for his dreams.
There's nothing they can do. Sometimes they report what the Fifth Prince did, and when they ask why the Fifth Prince did it, they can't answer without referring to what Liu Tan said before!
Sometimes, these words were just spoken casually by the Fifth Prince on a whim, and when no one took it seriously, he would just do what he said.
The embroidered robe envoy who followed him was feeling miserable. When he first came to Liu Tan's side, he was scolded almost every day because he often missed important information. Later, he really couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued like this, his salary would almost be deducted because of work mistakes. Not only would it be deducted, but he might also be fined. After working for a month, he not only did not make any money but also lost some money. Who could stand this?
If they don’t save themselves, they will be in trouble!
Later, the embroidered messengers who were on duty beside Liu Tan discussed it together, recorded Liu Tan's words and deeds for the whole day, and then turned around and took him to find his superior, to let his superior see that it was not their dereliction of duty, but the Fifth Prince who did not play by the rules!
After reading it, the boss felt very sympathetic towards these people and simply ordered that all the words and deeds of the fifth prince be collected and reported.
Especially after the diplomatic mission to Da Wusun, His Majesty would keep talking about the Fifth Prince, which drove him almost bald.
This way, the report will appear to be more detailed. His Majesty likes to read it anyway, so let him extract the information himself!
The embroidered robe envoy originally went there with the intention of being punished, but unexpectedly the emperor liked it very much, so he just kept doing it.
One new day, when Liu Che was muttering about the news about Liu Tan that should be delivered, he got a huge surprise - not only did his son not come back, he also started to build a city in the Western Regions!
