On the occasion of the Meng Yue, the resurrected earth seems to reflect the resurrected Han Dynasty. The city of Tokyo has also undergone obvious changes compared to previous years. The traffic is busy, the people are weaving, and the sound is like a tide... Of course, it is not like that. It’s an exaggeration, but it’s still a lot more lively.
Since the opening of the North City at Chenshi, Liu Chengyou has appeared in an attic and stared at an ordinary street in the city. It is said that watching the people forget their emotions. After standing there for nearly an hour, Liu Chengyou always had a numb face and an ancient look in his eyes. No waves, upright like a pile.
"Brother, what's the difference between those two shops? It's been almost a whole morning..." Beside him, Huaiyang King Liu Chengxun, who was summoned to accompany the driver, muttered softly.
In the past two or three years, Liu Chengxun has grown a lot, especially his height. Standing tall, he has already surpassed his imperial brother. After being granted the title of king and opening a palace, his previous out-of-the-way temperament has been restrained. Liu Chengyou has received I report that I have lived in the mansion for a long time, studied literature and martial arts, and have not been idle.
However, after all, he is young, and his temperament is not so easy to change. Early in the morning, he heard the imperial edict and the emperor summoned him to accompany him on a trip. Although he was rarely surprised, he still came with great interest. However, the result was that after a long Stand with someone...
"What, you can't stand anymore?" Liu Chengyou asked softly with less relief after hearing Liu Chengxun's "complaint".
"No!" When asked, Liu Chengxun denied it reflexively, and then he chuckled and said, "It's just that as far as I'm concerned, standing for an hour is more tiring than riding a horse for an hour!"
"If you are tired, find a place to rest!" Liu Chengyou said this not just to Liu Chengxun.
Accompanying him, in addition to the chamberlain and close ministers, was Hou Yi, Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture. After listening to the emperor's words of "sympathy", no one else made any move. Only this old man handed over his hands and apologized: "My old legs, I really can't bear it." I hope your majesty will forgive me for this suffering!"
After saying that, he didn't feel restrained at all. He sat down cross-legged, stroking his white beard, and continued to look at the street through the railings. Although, he didn't understand, a silk shop and a porcelain shop, What's the difference? I can't figure it out, but the old man can see it clearly. At most, he would send someone to investigate afterward.
Observing Hou Yi's open-minded performance, Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't care. Although Hou Yi is an old man, although he has no knowledge, he does have a way of being an official, and he is very suitable for dealing with people. Thinking about it, he left Fengxiang and Dongjin Kaifeng seems to have never made the emperor unhappy.
"Remember how many people have visited each of the two stores since they opened, and how many merchant transactions have been completed in each?" Liu Chengyou suddenly asked Liu Chengxun.
"I don't know." Upon hearing this question, Liu Chengxun looked confused.
"You don't even know?" Liu Chengyou tilted his head and asked the others.
Everyone remained silent. Wang Pu did not need to be in the limelight, but Zhang Yongde, who was also responsible for the bodyguard, carefully stated a few figures. It was obvious that this young bodyguard was careful.
Liu Chengyou's imperial squad of generals has been rotated, not only to win people's hearts nearby, but also to train them. When the time comes, they will be transferred to other places, or they will be sent to other places to hone their skills. Now it has become a pattern. Like Li Chongju before, and Zhao Kuangyin was sent to Suzhou by Liu Chengyou to serve as a military training envoy. It was very close to Jiangbei in the Southern Tang Dynasty!
"You've been standing there for so long, are you just looking at me like this?" Liu Chengyou looked at the new guard leader with an approving look, and his tone suddenly turned serious and asked Liu Chengxun, making the air around him cool down a bit.
Liu Chengxun lowered his head subconsciously and hesitated twice, but Nuonuo was speechless.
"The Imperial Examination is a long way to go to create the Han Dynasty. As a member of the Han Dynasty royal family, you are not too young. This country and the country also need your efforts to protect..." Speaking of these clichés, Liu Chengyou is very familiar with it.
"When you go out of the house on weekdays, don't just go hunting. Go to the market more often and see the various living conditions of the people!" Liu Chengyou pointed to the shops in the market in a teaching tone and said: "It's not a peaceful world now. You must not slack off even a little bit, and I am the same. When all the businesses in this market are prosperous, will I dare to relax at all!"
"Yes!" Liu Chengxun's mouth twitched, and Liu Chengxun agreed reluctantly. However, facing Brother Jun's majesty, his expression could only go so far.
Liu Chengyou left the palace today. Of course, he not only took his emperor brother to stand on the street to watch the scenery and give him a lesson, but also to stretch his muscles a little. Liu Chengyou asked his attendant Zhang Dejun: "How is the time?"
Zhang Dejun obviously had time in mind, and immediately responded: "Go back to the official house, it's almost time!"
"Then let's go!" Liu Chengyou said.
However, he stopped Liu Chengxun and said to him: "You don't have to follow me. I haven't entered the palace for a few days. I will go to greet my mother later. Do you still need me to teach you about filial piety?"
Another lesson, Liu Chengxun was already used to it.
However, Liu Chengyou's attitude immediately changed and became softer. With a slight smile on his lips, he said: "Mom, there is a happy event waiting for you!"
After patting his younger brother on the shoulder, Liu Chengyou ordered someone to lead the confused young King Huaiyang away.
After briefly glancing at his young and healthy back, Liu Chengyou finally moved his aching legs. Before leaving, he left a question: "Beggars like that who are in ragged clothes and have little food to eat. How many people are there in Tokyo?" How many?"
Following Liu Chengyou's expectations, one can see at a glance the "beggar" in the emperor's mouth in the relatively clean streets, poverty, hunger, and downfall. Several vivid words seem to hang above his head.
After Liu Chengyou left under the protection of the guards, a Kaifeng official who was lucky enough to follow him took a deep breath and asked Hou Yi doubtfully: "Master Fu, what do you mean by this?"
Hou Yi held on to the railing, twisted his neck a little, and while thinking, he muttered: "The emperor is asking me to deal with these poor people!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "These untouchables don't do anything to produce, but go to Beijing to beg for food. It's really abominable. Should we send people to drive all these people out of Tokyo?"
After listening to his suggestion, Hou Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he resisted the urge to slap this subordinate. His anger flashed slightly, and he scolded: "Confused! If so, you and I will wait for His Majesty's thunderous wrath! Your Majesty is like that Love the people..."
"You are stupid because of your humble position!" The subordinate felt a chill on his neck and suddenly realized.
"Then what should we do?"
Obviously, this problem stumped Hou Yi. He grabbed his old beard and thought about it for a while, then said: "Send someone to gather these 'beggars' in the city. The young and strong ones will be given a meal and sent to the port. , working in the mines, as for the women, children, old and young, let’s put some food aside for the time being and support them. As for the future... we’ll talk about it later!”
"So, the weather in Tokyo will definitely be completely new!" The subordinate immediately flattered him.
There was no pride in Hou Yi's face. He just shook his head and lamented in his heart that the position of Kaifeng Prefect was not easy to fill. The old man was already thinking about whether to submit his resignation...
The King of Huaiyang, Liu Chengxun, followed Liu Chengyou's arrangement and went into the palace to pay his respects to Queen Mother Li before returning to the palace.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he directly asked the officials in the palace: "Is the Grand Master here?"

"In the study!"
The study in the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion was where Liu Chengxun studied on weekdays. Li Songzheng, the Prince of Huaiyang's tutor whom Liu Chengyou chose for him, wrote in handwriting there.
When Liu Chengxun came, the master and apprentice sat opposite each other and immediately complained to Li Song about the "grievances" they had suffered while accompanying him.
After hearing this, Li Song had a different attitude and advised Liu Chengxun: "What your Majesty said is true. Your Majesty, you should know that it is not easy for Your Majesty to maintain the country of Han Dynasty with the dignity of a young man. As the emperor's brother, you should be considerate of your brother." !”
"Besides, Your Majesty is strict with the King and teaches you by words and deeds. This is exactly how he values you..."
Soon, Li Song gave another lecture. I was probably used to it. Although my brain felt swollen, my mood improved a lot.
"By the way, I have something else to ask you, Master?"
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."
Somewhat embarrassed and hesitant, Liu Chengxun said to Li Song: "I went to the palace to meet my mother and learned from her that she wanted to choose a princess for me..."
