"General...the people from all over the country do have a lot of opinions on the hair loss and think it is easy to develop lice."

"That's because you are too unhygienic... Forget it, you can't blame you. After all, you are the main grazing. The lice on cattle and sheep are enough for you to bear. Moreover, there is a lack of water and it is inconvenient to boil water."

Hair accumulation actually requires an economic foundation, that is, it can ensure that hot water can wash the body and take regular baths.

The Book of Rites says: On five days, please take a bath with boiling soup. On three days, you will have a bath. During the period, you will have a dirty face and clean pan. When you have a dirty foot, please take a bath with boiling soup.

In other words, you have to take a shower in five days, wash your hair in three days, and often wash your face and feet with hot water.

This is really a troublesome for the Huns who are used to shaving their hair.

Ma Qiang thought about it and felt that this matter really needs to be resolved.

After all, lice and fleas are all ways to spread infectious diseases.

And... maybe I can take this opportunity to promote short hair from the border.

Ma Qiang has actually been thinking about shaving his hair for a long time.

Long hair is indeed very good, and sometimes long hair is indeed very handsome.

Especially a handsome man like Zhao Yun.

Of course, Ma Qiang himself is also very handsome (thinks).

But such handsomeness is simply not worth mentioning in the face of super troublesome washing of hair.

Boys in later generations may find it difficult to understand how troublesome it is to wash their hair with long hair.

When Ma Qiang's hair was short in later generations, he didn't need to wash his hair for three minutes. Now... it doesn't take more than ten minutes to try it.

Especially in this era when there is no hair dryer, it is easy to catch a cold if you don’t dry it in winter.

So, can you not wash your hair?

Of course not!

The result of not washing your hair is that your hair is sticky and sticky together, your scalp is so itchy that itchy, and all kinds of little lives like to join in the fun.

For this reason, neither the Wuyue in the south nor the grassland people like long hair.

In fact, it was not just them. At the beginning, the Central Plains did not have a bun. The hairstyles of the Shang Dynasty were more similar to those of the later Mongolians. They had braided hair or broken hair. Even in the early Zhou Dynasty, they had their hair disguised.

Until the establishment of the concept of Chinese in the Zhou Dynasty, in order to distinguish the four barbarians, the Central Plains began a hairstyle revolution, changing from disguising hair to tying hair.

Because only civilized people who have the conditions to wash frequently can continue to release it, this is similar to the meaning of later generations of high heels that do not require physical labor.

Human clothes and hairstyles are often used to distinguish between you and me.

Coincidentally, the opposite of the East is that because of its developed smelting, Rome in the West could make helmets, and built a country with martial arts, fighting everywhere. In order to facilitate treatment, all the Romans had short hair.

After all, barbarians without helmets and medical skills do not need to shave their hair short.

Therefore, in the West at this time, short hair is the symbol of civilization.

This custom was not changed until the barbarians invaded. In the Middle Ages, Western hairstyles began to turn into medium-length hair.

"In fact, in our scientific school, most people have shaved their hair."

The horns on Ma Qiang's head began to grow.

"The saying that the body, hair and skin are not dared to hurt their parents is actually Confucian. According to research, China during the Shang and Zhou dynasties also had hair cuts.

If you are not afraid of Confucianism causing trouble for you, I think you can shave your hair short!"

When Liu Quan and his friends heard that they could shave their hair short, they were so excited.

They have long wanted to shave their hair short, so let's put it this way. They have been considering whether to rely on staying up late to make themselves bald.

"Well, in this way, tomorrow's morning meeting, you follow me to meet the emperor and let the emperor fulfill his promise. In this way, even if those Confucian scholars want to cause trouble for you, you have something to say."

"Thank you, General!"

This time, Liu Quan and others were much more sincere than before.

On the other hand, Yang Biao and others gathered together again.

"Hebei smelting technology is so terrifying?"

Yang Biao didn't go to see this time, so he could only listen to the reposts of Zhang Xi, Chunyu Jia and others, but from the reposts, Yang Biao felt a cold back.

Ma Qiang is right, the amount of iron determines whether the country is strong or not.

With so much iron in Hebei, when he heads south, the princes of the Central Plains may have to stop.

"Everyone, things are urgent! For the Han Dynasty, we should immediately weaken the power of the General's Mansion!"

"But Hebei's military and political affairs are all under the General's Mansion. What should we do?" Han Rong asked.

Yang Biao was thinking so much at this time. If Xun You were there, he would definitely have a solution.

Alas, you have to find a wise man to make a master.

"The general is the chief army and not the chief army. We can make a fuss from now on."

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

If they don’t do anything...these court ministers will really become fresh.

Even when Dong Zhuo was there, they had the majority of the regime, but Li Ruhe was in the middle.

Now they are not even as good as that time.

MD! How did the imperial court become like this!

——The next day

Liu Xie sat in his seat and looked around.

This so-called court is actually the original lobby of the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion.

Thanks to Yuan Shao, the expansion of this place was pretty good. At least Liu Xie felt that this place was much better than Chang'an.

"Why didn't the general come?" Liu Xie found that Ma Qiang had not arrived yet and couldn't help asking.

Kou Xian set out and said, "I will tell you that the general is late and I want to come and arrive soon."

Sleeping in?

Liu Xie suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and Lu Zhi sighed even more.

"The General is here!"

With a shout, Ma Qiang swung his shoes, held the horizontal knife, walked into the court, and sat down at the front row.

It is indeed terrible to get used to this thing. At first, some ministers wanted to scold Ma Qiang for being rude. Now everyone is used to it. If Ma Qiang takes off his shoes, they still have to wonder if something is going to happen.

"Your Majesty, I'm getting up late, please forgive me!"

Well, you, the general, came later than me, the emperor.

"The general worked hard on state affairs without any obstacles."

Can I just do it?

Seeing Ma Qiang sitting down, Liu Xie asked again, "Well... do you guys have something to say?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to do to report!"

Everyone saw that it was the Secretary of Shangshu Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian has an extraordinary family background. He is the grandson of Zhao Jie. Zhao Jie is an elder of the five dynasties, and he has three thrones. Zhao Qian himself also served as the former general, but later was dismissed because of his illness. Now he has arrived in Hebei, he has returned as the Minister of State.

"Shangshu Zhao, please speak!"

"The court has moved north for one month, but all military and political affairs come from the General's Mansion. All the officials in the court have nothing to do, and it is not a long-term solution.

In the past, the imperial court captured Chang'an in the west, and the general served as the emperor to pacify Hebei. Both military and political affairs were out of the General's Mansion, which was the right reason.

But now that time has changed, the court has moved north, and Hebei government affairs should be returned to the court. After all, the general is only a general, not a regent!”

Wow~~

The whole court was in an uproar!
Chapter completed!
