The reason why Zhang Liang is helpless is because the package of things is really not so easy to handle, and what he is most afraid of is that some things are not handled well, which will lead to civil unrest.

It's not that the empire hasn't had civil unrest, it's when it receives some new republics, and some local clans and gentry are harmed by their interests, and then gather people to resist the law or something. Of course, that is, resisting the law, not shouting slogans such as fighting for the world, when Lu Zhe's army swept the world, they were not so brain-pumping.

Because it is to protect their own interests, not to fight for the world or anything, some of those clans and gentry are "from" after struggling, and Lu Zhe, who does not "follow", has no softness, just one suppression, and he will suppress as long as he resists, until he is punished for the first evil after being soft, and the rest are hard to serve.

After having an example, anyone who wants to do anything more can compare it and know the attitude of the new ruler, unless it is really impossible to survive, the stupid thing of ants shaking the tree will never be done again.

Under the general trend, especially in recent years, it is not said that the more you get richer or something, but there is always no hunger, and there are a few cases where the magistrates mishandled some things, but they basically subsided quickly, but the phenomenon of brain-pumping crowds to make trouble is really rare.

Zhang Liang came to Su Lie to ask for the transfer of troops to Luo County, basically the goal of deterrence was still the main goal, and he wanted to separate and disperse the people one step closer. His decision was to gather the people who made the most trouble together, and some other people who were easy to deal with to gather in one area, so that some people would not spread if someone made trouble, and first solved the group of people who were good at communicating, and a few stubborn people dragged it out, which really couldn't make sense in the short term, so don't blame the official for really using some unconventional means.

"Squire, don't look at the forbidden army's few expeditions, but it's not idle at all." Su Lie looked embarrassed: "What firearms have you been working on recently?" The daily drills continued, and Nanling couldn't hear the sound of the booming cannons or anything, but it wasn't to be moved to the west of Yiling so as not to disturb the people. ”

Zhang Liang really didn't know what was going on, he looked at Su Lie in a daze.

"Besides, only one school was transferred before the prison left, and the ruling government did not ask for an increase." Su Lie didn't refuse very resolutely: "There are less than 30,000 forbidden troops left in Nanling, how much can the squire see?" ”

The forbidden army is the main guarding force of the imperial capital, and the national defense army is not allowed to approach without the emperor's order. The population of the imperial capital Nanling, including the floating population who does not live in the city, has exceeded 1.7 million, and the forbidden army has not only defended the imperial capital. In fact, it is also to carry out the task of patrolling the streets with the public security forces.

Cities with a population of more than 1.7 million are considered not small in modern times, and at the time of 207 BC they were definitely the most populous cities in the world.

A county with tens of thousands of people has so many things to do every day, so how many things should happen every day in a city with a population of more than 1.7 million that needs to be dealt with?

When it comes to the necessary forces that should be needed in the imperial capital, Zhang Liang needs to do a special understanding before he can say an answer, and what he attaches more importance to is that Su Lie did not refuse despite being embarrassed.

Zhang Liang asked, "Will Zhonglang be in the government all the time?" ”

"I don't like to be in the nest all the time." Su Lie shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "The problem is that you have to nest now." ”

"So?" Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I'll go and find the Nanling Order, and the three of us will sum it up?" ”

Su Lie nodded: "Explain and cooperate with you before the prison country leaves." ”

Zhang Liang did not delay after the ceremony. Turn away. He originally wanted to go over to find Nanling Ling in person, after all, although Nanling Ling belonged to the county order level in terms of official position, Nanling was the imperial capital, and the population of the imperial capital was as large as a dozen counties. Nanling Ling is actually in the position of a county guard, but he met Chen Ping again on the way, and this time Chen Ping seemed to have come specifically to find it.

"Squire!" Chen Ping still had a habitual smile on his face, but he blocked Zhang Liang's way. He gestured to please. said: "It's a bit special, let's talk about it at the waiter's side?" ”

What Zhang Liang is most afraid of now is hearing that something is special, and he has the heart to ask Chen Ping if he is in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry, let him find Nanling Ling first, finish the matter negotiated with Su Lie first, and then come to talk about what special things are. The problem is that before he could say it, Chen Ping over there had already turned around and walked towards the ruling government.

Back to the ruling government, Zhang Liang first beckoned Chen Ping to sit down, then smiled apologetically and asked Chen Ping to wait for a while, and went out to explain to the officials, especially explaining that he really couldn't leave, so there was no way to ask Nanling Ling in person, and finally continued to entertain Chen Ping.

"Busy, huh?" Chen Ping saw Zhang Liang come in, and said with a smile: "Ping has not stained a grain of rice since morning, can you ask the waiter to order someone to buy a set?" ”

Zhang Liang naturally did not allow it.

In fact, the stoves of the two departments and the three governments are supplied 24 hours a day, mainly so that a kind of official who deals with things can eat anytime and anywhere, after all, some things are not handled to say that they can be stopped at meal time, and when they are really busy, the meal time is really a bit chaotic, and then there are officials on duty at night.

When I got up at work, no one had the heart to want something to eat, and I didn't know who had a brainstorm later, so I hurriedly came up with some heavy and light set meals, saving those officials from being entangled. In this way, work packages appeared more than 2,000 years in advance, and because of their convenience, they became popular among the people, providing convenience to workers in workshops and factories, and even evolved into restaurants such as fast food.

Chen Ping wanted to eat in the ruling government, although it was said that he was too busy to touch the ground, and talking with Zhang Liang while eating could save time, mainly to enhance the friendship between the two.

Because the stove did not stop the fire, he gave an order, and soon the subordinate servants brought a few tables and a set of cutlery, and when the silver utensils and the like were arranged, the food in the dishes was brought up like a stream of water in a short time.

Chen Ping is a pot of rice, a pot of beef soup and a pot of egg and vegetable soup, and the stir-fry is stir-fried lean meat with green vegetables, steamed eggs with meat foam, braised pork, and fried brook fish.

Zhang Liang also has a pot of rice, a bowl of mutton soup and a pot of egg and vegetable soup, and the dried dishes are fried vegetables, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised lion's head, and stewed chicken.

It sounds like there are a lot of dishes, but in fact, everything is just a small plate, and it is more convenient to serve it again if you want to finish it.

In fact, there was no such dish at all before, and the main food should be unfermented pasta such as steamed buns, at most with some boiled things, anyway, everything is thrown down after the water boils. If it's cooked, it's counted, and the texture, taste, or something is just said.

Looking at the choice of the two, the taste belongs to the heavier type? But that's not the case at all, the main reason is that administrative officials need to spend too much brain, eat some high-fat and desserts and other foods can replenish energy, if there are more brain-consuming things and eat light, the body shape should be lean.

You mentioned beef, right? Naturally, the cattle that were slaughtered and cooked were not ploughing cattle, and the imperial army did not fight on the grasslands, and the number of cattle among the captured cattle was very large, given that the use of horse-drawn plows is now more common than the use of oxen to pull plows. The status of ploughing cattle is okay, Lu Zhe knows the nutrition of beef very well, and has not forgotten that cattle can also plow the field with a hole in their noses, but they deliberately delayed it and did not get it, and the cattle are provided to the food market in large quantities, and also promote the use of milk or something.

It is very realistic that the Chinese people are completely dependent on the cultivated cattle, not because they know that the endurance of the cattle is better than that of the horses, but because they have to do it after losing the horse-producing land. Take a look at the pre-Qin period of antiquity. Looking at the farming situation in the north before the horse-producing land has not been lost, the use of horse-drawn plows is the mainstream, and only in the south is the main ploughing cattle because of the lack of horses.

Naturally, cattle and horses have their own advantages and disadvantages in farming. For example, the endurance of horses and the "picking" of land, but the horseshoe is not out, and on the premise that cattle and horses can be used as farming animals, it depends on how to think about the characteristics of the nation. In any case, the peoples who used the oxen exclusively were almost all defeated and enslaved by the peoples who used horses as animal power.

Lu Zhe may not have thought about it so carefully, what kind of national thinking and other heights, he simply knows that the nutrition of beef really has nothing to say. It is also a good habit to drink milk, and now the Chinese Miao people are generally tall, if beef can be provided in large quantities, and at least a glass of milk is fixed for the children every day, then the physical fitness and height are not rubbing up?

Eating without saying a word, sleeping without speaking, is a habit of Chinese civilization, when do you like to talk while eating? Fishing in a soup pot and not eating is a characteristic of nomads, and chatting while eating is also a habit that has been developed after repeated conquests.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping both chewed on the food silently, and the speed at which they ate was not slow, what was more amazing was that Taman's eating appearance looked at Si Swenwen, but the food on the table did not disappear slowly.

Chen Ping finished eating before Zhang Liang, and he wiped out the food cleanly. After eating, he glanced at Zhang Liang, who was still struggling, and then took out a book from somewhere on his body and read it.

Zhang Liang naturally discovered Chen Ping's actions, and he also deliberately glanced at the name of the book, and when he saw that the title of the book was "Wu Zi's Art of War", he secretly muttered something in his heart, but his face did not show too obvious expression.

"Wu Zi's Art of War" is naturally written by Wu Qi during the Warring States Period, and the whole exposition is to oppose the warlike people and oppose the re-cultivation of morality, and abolish the relaxation of military equipment, believing that only internal cultivation of literature and morality, external military equipment can make the country strong.

Now there is also "Wu Zi's Art of War", which is really not long away from the ancient pre-Qin era, and not only "Wu Zi's Art of War" and some other classics were destroyed in the war, but later generations sorted out some information from some war examples and fragments in the Spring and Autumn Period, and "Thirty-six Strategies" was born.

Emperor Nanling has a library that has not been established for a long time, and some bamboo slips collected during the expansion have been typeset and printed, and the original version was collected by Lu Zhe, and the hundred schools of thought knew that the emperor wanted to build a library and also sent some books, so that the library was also a little like it.

Zhang Liang clearly remembered that the printed books should be put on the table, most of them were some reliable or unreliable knowledge of the hundreds of schools, but there were very few books on the art of war, and some of them were also a bad work, he remembered that there was no such thing as "Wu Zi's Art of War", and he wondered where Chen Ping got it.

The reason why I don't know whether it's reliable or unreliable is that it's impossible for the hundreds of schools of thought to come up with their own core essence, after all, the core essence is the strength of a family and the foundation of a family, how can it be easily shown. They took out some storage, first, to sell the emperor's face, and secondly, they also wanted to promote the knowledge of their own faction, and do work such as absorbing letters ~ disciples.

Zhang Liang finished eating quickly, almost when he put down the dining utensils, the subordinates who were waiting outside the door came in, first asked if they wanted to order anything, and after getting Zhang Liang's signal, three or five people came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Ping has been running around since he became an official, and he rarely stays in the government." Chen Ping closed the book, first said that, and then said: "It's not like a waiter who can enjoy such treatment all the time!" ”

It sounds like jealousy, but who is jealous of who really can't say, when he was an official in the empire, he often ran around, that is what he had to do, and having something to do means having merit, and it is better for an official than being idle to count lice.

Chen Ping's defection to Lu Zhe was after the annexation of the Chu State, from a white body, it was the kind of white body in the real sense, and it took six years to climb to the position of the left master of the Inspectorate Office.

Zhang Liang is different. He was originally the official position of prime minister in South Korea after the restoration, but after South Korea was annexed by Lu Zhe, he naturally couldn't do it, and he was promoted step by step from a middle-level official. In fact, many times he also didn't understand some things, such as being the first person under the king...... Well, he is the first civilian official, how could he be arranged into a pile of middle-level officials, and the speed of the rise is so fast, and he has become a candidate for the ruling party.

Well, it is a ruling candidate, but Zhang Liang knows very well that he is only a candidate, and he is not the only candidate chosen by the emperor, but also the lieutenant who has repeatedly shown good ability in civil affairs, and Li Si, who has been gradually exerting his strength, and several officials who are gradually showing extraordinary talents, and he is really not the only one to govern.

The lieutenant belongs to the military and cannot be in power? Who made this rule! In the first meeting of this year, there are many people who become military generals when they get on the horse and wear armor at the next moment, and it is not uncommon for military generals to take off their armor to govern the people, and they are not so carefully divided at all, but the identity is positioned at the beginning, so it has caused the system of Wenguiwen and Wuguiwu, which is still a phenomenon that the emperor intentionally did, and this was not the case in the pre-Qin period.

The emperor can formulate a new system, even if the old system can be restored, Zhang Liangke really has a set of governance ideals waiting to be realized, no matter how he should work diligently and diligently, now the burden is getting heavier and heavier, he can only be happy and excited.
