Wang Mang was very happy. He really liked the name Cao Cao, and now he could finally use it openly.

Moreover, using it in front of the emperor is a very pleasant feeling!

After leaving Chang'an City, Liu Ao was in an even better mood.

It's like a fish entering the sea or a bird flying in the sky! The whole person seems extremely comfortable.

Liu Ao said to Wang Mang who was riding outside: "Do you know why Mr. Nai likes to visit incognito?"

When Wang Mang heard Liu Ao's question in such a tone, he felt angry and said, "Nai Gong? Let's see who is the father in the future!"

Although Wang Mang felt unhappy, he still said humbly: "I think this is out of your Majesty's kindness and he did it to understand the sentiments of the people."

Liu Ao was in a good mood after hearing Wang Mang's answer, but he still criticized: "Nai Gong said that you should not treat yourself as a king and a minister outside."

Wang Mang quickly confessed, "Here."

Seeing Wang Mang being so obedient, Liu Ao continued: "Nai Gong likes to go out of the palace incognito. As you just said, it is to understand the sentiments of the people. The same is true for Nai Gong's trip this time."

What Liu Ao said was serious. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Mang helped plan and arrange Liu Ao's departure from the palace, I would have almost believed his lies.

Of course, then again, even if it was Wang Mang's first time traveling with him, Wang Mang would never believe Liu Ao's lies from the perspective of a traveler.

What kind of emperor Liu Ao was, history has long made a conclusion for him.

He is a fun-loving but incompetent, lustful and immoral vulgar master.

Not only was there no achievements to be made during his reign, but there were also many problems with the stable fundamentals of the Han Dynasty. As Wang Mang knew, during the time he traveled through time, Liu Ao had already had several small-scale outbreaks during his reign.

uprising event.

Although these small-scale uprisings were quickly suppressed by the imperial court, the reasons for Shen Shen's rebellion have not been faced squarely once. If this continues, the Han's problems will only become more and more serious.

And this is a manifestation of Liu Ao's incompetence in office. The key is that he doesn't know it yet! How terrible is this?

The carriage continued to move forward, and Wang Mang and the accompanying guards followed Liu Ao's carriage diligently, braving the cold wind and continuing to move forward.

This sharp cold wind was so cold that it penetrated the bones. No matter how tightly Wang Mang wrapped himself, he could not help but shiver one after another.

Now Wang Mang only thinks that it would be nice if he was at home or in the palace's duty room at this moment, warming himself over a charcoal fire and reading a book.

It's a pity that as Liu Ao's close minister and the commander of Shesheng, he can only shoulder the responsibility of guard, guarding Liu Ao, watching Liu Ao leisurely enjoy the happiness in the carriage, and he himself risks the cold.

To be honest, Wang Mang was really full of resentment at this time. In such a cold weather, Liu Ao couldn't just cuddle up in the warm greenhouse, drink and have fun, but he couldn't bear it and wanted to go out of the palace to have fun.

.This is so unlucky!

Wang Mang sighed in his heart, it would be great if he had a down jacket now. Unfortunately, today's big men don't even have cotton, let alone down jackets.

Wang Mang could only lament that Zhang Qian's journey to the west was not far enough. Why didn't he go to India or Arabia, the origin of cotton?

If he could bring cotton seeds back to the Han Dynasty early, maybe the people of the Han Dynasty would be able to wear cotton-padded jackets.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qian failed to bring back cotton seeds. Instead, he brought exotic fruits from the Western Regions back to the Han Dynasty, which improved the dietary conditions of the top nobles of the Han Dynasty.

The top nobles of the Han Dynasty used the exotic fragrances from the Western Regions, ate fruits from the Western Regions, and wore beautiful jade from the Western Regions.

Enjoy a luxurious life that has never been enjoyed by the Central Plains nobles for thousands of years.

In this regard, Wang Mang could only sigh lightly, and then actively integrated into it, enjoying the luxury of the top nobles of the Han Dynasty.

But now, Wang Mang can only wrap the fox fur cloak tightly around him, keeping it as close to his body as possible to prevent himself from being beaten by the biting cold wind!

It can be seen how terrifying the gap in status is. Even a top-notch wealthy child like Wang Mang can only be an obedient bodyguard who endures the cold and cold in front of the supreme emperor.

As for those living at a lower level, one can imagine their plight.

As the carriage continued to move forward, Wang Mang, Liu Ao and the rest finally arrived at the destination of their trip.

Liu Ao, who felt the carriage stop firmly, opened the curtain and asked: "Are we here?"

Wang Mang replied: "This is the place Cao Cao chose for his brother."

Wang Mang is thick-skinned and bolder than Chun Yuchang. Chun Yuchang is sometimes cautious and cautious and does not overstep his bounds, but Wang Mang thinks differently. He feels that such a kind name can bring them closer to each other.

Therefore, Wang Mang got off the donkey and naturally called Liu Ao his brother.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the relationship between Wang Mang and Liu Ao is that of cousins ​​who can be called brothers, so calling Liu Ao this way is not considered arrogance.

Liu Ao got off the carriage and looked at the place where Wang Mang took him. It was an ordinary manor on the outskirts of Chang'an. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

But it was precisely because of this that Liu Ao was curious about why Wang Mang brought him here.

Liu Ao asked: "What's fun here?"

Wang Mang pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile: "Brother, please be patient. This place looks ordinary on the outside, but there is something wonderful inside! Brother, please move inside the village."

Liu Ao nodded and continued to look at the manor, then walked forward and arrived at the manor under Wang Mang's guidance.

The manor here is where Wang Mang makes paper. He brought Liu Ao here today just to let Liu Ao experience the joy of papermaking labor.

This way of playing is Wang Mang's reference to later generations of farmhouses and handicraft workshops that were popular among urban white-collar workers.

Although extremely ordinary, it seemed particularly novel in the eyes of Liu Ao, the aloof emperor. This was completely different from the cockfighting and horse racing that he was so fond of in the past when he was out of the palace.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Wang Mang carefully introduced the process sequence of this papermaking workshop to Liu Ao before leaving. When he took Liu Ao to a pool of cooked pulp, Wang Mang encouraged: "Brother, you can try to fish out a piece of paper film and feel it."

Let’s take a look at the joy of folk craftsmen.”

After going through the process, it seems that Liu Ao can't wait to do it himself.

Although the craftsman's profession is a humble one, when he saw such an orderly craftsman's workshop, Liu Ao was still as surprised as an ordinary person seeing something novel.

Now with Wang Mang's encouragement, Liu Ao was ready to make a move, "Is this really okay?"

Wang Mang said: "Brother, you will know once you try it. Everyone in the world says that the work of a craftsman is despicable, but the joy in it is also a joy that is hard to describe. Brother, a proud man of heaven, if he can enjoy the joy of the people, he will surely be a wise king for thousands of generations.

!"

Wang Mang immediately deceived Liu Ao into lameness.

What he brought Liu Ao to experience was the most relaxed and simple pleasure of papermaking. If Liu Ao was really allowed to try the processes that required physical strength or to repeat different tasks at a certain station, Liu Ao would probably be very disappointed.

If I turn around, I will scold my mother, and I will not experience a trace of happiness.

Now, after Wang Mang made a simple analysis, he not only gave Liu Ao the joyful achievement of making handicrafts, but also avoided others saying that Wang Mang was charming.

It can be said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the entertainment activities that Wang Mang arranged for Liu Ao today. Even the imperial officials from the government and the public would give Wang Mang a thumbs up and praise him for his loyalty.

Your good intentions!

It can be seen that routines have been popular since ancient times!

The ancients never deceived me!
