"Are these three solutions your Majesty came up with?"
Zhang Cang sat in front of Liu Chang and asked suspiciously.
Zhang Cang, who was busy, suddenly received the emperor's edict, asking him to go to Houde Hall to pay homage to the emperor immediately. Zhang Cang did not dare to delay and hurried to the palace. Then he heard from Liu Chang that three so-called ways to deal with the clan. But no matter how Zhang Cang looked at it, it didn't seem like the policy the emperor would come up with.
The main reason is that these policies are not stupid enough. If the idea of "making laws to include land transactions under the strict control of the government" is changed to "beheadings of privately buying and selling cultivated land", it is like the policy that His Majesty thought of. The policy looks a bit gentle and too normal, and it is not as if it was drafted by the emperor at all, but it is a bit like Qu Nihou's idea.
Zhang Cang can tell who proposed the book by looking at the contents of the book without looking at the name of the person.
Different ministers often express their ideas in the content of the book. Some will be extreme, some will be very stable, some will start from multiple aspects, and some will take a single route. These three ideas correspond to the three types of extreme, conservative, and peaceful. In the Han Dynasty, every time they make a memorial, they have to be so detailed, and the choice is handed over. The only one who is unwilling to take the blame is Chen Hou.
Liu Chang obviously didn't know that Zhang Cang had seen it. At this moment, he was still bragging about how he thought about it day and night before he came up with these three strategies, and was still using Chen Ping's tone to tell the difference and difficulty of the three methods.
"Well, Your Majesty thinks very well, but how should we implement it?"
"The three methods mentioned by Your Majesty are just a rough idea, but I never said how to implement them in detail."
Zhang Cang said softly, with a little helpless expression, because he had thought that the specific implementation of this matter would definitely fall on himself. The emperor always did this, regardless of killing or burying, or in other words, he just cheated the policy from the ministers, but regardless of the specific implementation, he threw it directly to the prime minister. The original tool man was Zhou Chang, and the current tool man was Zhang Cang.
Sure enough, just at the moment Zhang Cang was thinking.
Liu Chang smiled and said, "Isn't there a teacher here..."
"Actually, I seem to know the solution to these three methods, but I just can't remember it for a while... I must be able to remember it..."
Liu Chang whispered, then raised his head suddenly and stared at Zhang ******* in front of him. The only one who can accomplish this is the whole man. We promote agriculture to make the people have enough food. If we cannot distribute the arable land in the hands of the people, no matter how prosperous they are, they will still not be able to eat enough. Instead, those big families, who are fed by us, have become good players in Xiu'anling!"
"Your Majesty admires me too much, what can I do..."
"No, I know the teacher can do it!"
Liu Chang stared at Zhang Cang with passionate and confident eyes.
"What if I can't?"
"Then I have to ask my fist first...Ahem, I will ask all the talents and find ways to help you complete it!"
Zhang Cang left Houde Hall with a bitter face, but Liu Chang was walking back inside the hall. For some reason, Liu Chang was a little excited at the moment. He felt that he seemed to have touched something. If he could solve the problem of these lands according to Chen Ping, the Han Dynasty would reach an incredible level and the whole country would ascend. Of course, the risk was also very huge. Land will always be the foundation of the Han Dynasty. You can never think about how tempting land is for people at this moment.
Once this matter is not done well, the result will be devastating. It may be that the entire man will be buried with him. Whether he will ascend or be buried with him, it will be necessary to see what solution should be adopted.
The Han Dynasty had one advantage, that is, the Han Dynasty had just been established, and many things were the first time for ministers. There was no previous example to follow, and there were not many ancestors' methods. After all, the ancestors had just passed away for twenty years, and many ancestors were still alive, so they could change whatever they wanted, with a huge imagination.
For the future feudal society, the Han Dynasty was the ancestor, and the laws he formulated were the laws of the ancestor.
Lu Lu felt a little sorry for Zhang Cang, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang was just busy with farming and sericulture, and you asked him to handle this matter again. I am afraid that Zhang Xiang will be exhausted and cannot bear it..."
Chang Liu waved his hand, "What do you know?"
"The teacher seems lazy, but in fact he is a person who can't rest. He doesn't seem to have any ambitions, but he thinks more than anyone else... He won't be crushed by these things. I haven't seen that he has children this year. My teacher likes to calculate. Do you think he likes mathematics itself? What he likes is just the enjoyment of solving difficult problems... I like to go on the field to kill enemies. The more enemies there are, the happier I am. The teacher is the same, but his battlefield is different from mine!"
Lu Lu had long been accustomed to the practice of his own emperor making up various reasons to defend himself at any time, and was not surprised at all.
"By the way, why haven't An come back yet?!"
"Uh, your majesty, he refused again..."
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Lu beside him, "I'll write a letter later, you can send someone to send him..."
"By the way, you have to send someone to Shu County."
"Well? What are you doing in Shu County?"
"Tie someone back!"
"ah??"
.........
"I don't want to go back! I won't go back!
”
"Let me go!
”
Liu An screamed.
His servants have been taken down at this moment, and only Liu An is still struggling.
During these days, Chang Liu sent him three letters to stop fighting and return to Chang'an. However, after three consecutive times, he was rejected by Liu An. When he asked, "I will not accept my father's orders." Zhang Xiangru, Li Zuoche and the others were helpless and persuaded Liu An to go back several times. Anyway, the Tang Kingdom is not so far away from Chang'an. He can quickly pass and come back soon, so there is no need to resist like this.
But Liu An didn't think so. The Tang Kingdom is so good. It's free and dedicated. Everyone is very simple and has a lot of thought. No matter what policy Liu An proposes here, he will definitely pass it. There is no opposition. Besides, no one disciplines. Liu An does whatever he wants. Compared with Chang'an, this is simply a kingdom of heaven. If he can take over the eldest mother, the second mother, the third mother, the three brothers, a sister, and Ti Ying, it will be really a kingdom of heaven.
He should not return to Chang'an. Once he returns to Chang'an, can his father still let himself come out??
He finally understood that his father had been constantly tempering himself over the years, which clearly meant that he wanted to inherit the throne, so that he could go out to fight, expand his territory, and be free!
However, when Liu An rejected Liu Chang's letter three times in a row, Liu Chang made Liu An understand what the eternal king of Tang State is. Liu Chang no longer wrote to his son, but wrote to Zhang Xiangru and the others, asking him to capture the prince and his followers and send him directly to Chang'an!
In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Chang's prestige was unimaginable. These were Liu Chang's old subordinates. After receiving this order, they had almost no hesitation and immediately took action. Therefore, Liu An's servants were controlled without knowing it. As for Liu An, they were betrayed by his subordinates, and they directly brought him back to Jinyang and placed him in front of Zhang Xiangru.
This is the Tang Palace in Jinyang.
Zhang Xiangru looked at Liu An helplessly and said, "Your Highness, don't blame us, this is all your order. Your Majesty asked you to return to Chang'an, who dares to stop him?"
"But I still have a few enemies who haven't caught up with me!"
"Master Li will go to the war in person to defeat these Hu people."
Liu An looked at the two strong soldiers beside him and knew that he had no choice but to refuse this time. Unexpectedly, Ah Father didn't need to fly to Tang State at all. He only had one order. These elders who smiled with him all day long, as well as those subordinates who praised his military achievements, would instantly turn against each other and arrest him.
Liu An once again had a more intuitive understanding of Ah Father's power. Ah Father was indeed very powerful and his control over the place was terrible. He had been here for almost two years, and he had been trying to win over his confidants, promote people he appreciated, and entertained these old ministers. He did everything he could. In the end, he could not even resist a little, and was arrested so easily.
"Your Highness."
Li Zuoche looked at Liu An with a little reluctance on his face.
After Liu An arrived in Tang State, a wave of foreign wars was set off. Tang State benefited a lot. If the prince did not leave, they could fight more. But once the prince left, they could not take the initiative to ask for battle. They could only passively carry out some defensive actions, and the attack range could not exceed twenty miles outside the Great Wall.
Li Zuoche trembled and said, "Your Highness, Tang Kingdom hasn't acted so happily for a long time..."
Everyone looked at Liu An reluctantly.
Liu An looked at them and felt inexplicably calm.
Over the years, he has become familiar with these people.
"Taiwei, don't worry, you will be able to continue to take action soon. The other princes are expanding their territory. As the strongest vassal state, how can the Tang Kingdom stand by and watch at this time?!"
Liu An said loudly.
Li Zuoche hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is one thing I want to ask Your Highness, but..."
Seeing Li Zuoche's expression of being reluctant to speak, Liu An said with a smile: "I know what you want to say. You want me to come back soon and continue to lead you to the war, right? Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to come back!"
Li Zuoche shook his head, took Liu An's hand, and said with some anticipation: "I just want your highness to go to Chang'an and tell the king, can you let the king come in person next time?"
The ministers of Tang State were immediately excited.
"yes!"
"It would be great if Your Majesty could come in person!
”
You want me to go to Chang'an to exchange A's father out, right?
The smile on Liu An's face suddenly froze, but he didn't say much. After staying here for a long time, he also knew the character of Taiwei Li. This old man was just a straightforward person. In the Tang Kingdom, if he was in Chang'an, he would have to be the Tingwei in minutes. No wonder his father kept him in Tang Kingdom, his fief continued to increase, but his official position was still unchanged.
Liu An left Jinyang in frustration and walked towards the east.
As soon as he drove for a while, Liu An realized that something was wrong.
"No, this is not the road to Chang'an?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty wants you to go to Zhao State to pay homage to King Zhao, and return to Chang'an with Prince Jia's prime minister Zhao."
"Ah? Why is this for me to pay homage to my third uncle?"
"I heard that something happened to the Chinese studies in Zhao State. I want you to go and help me."
"oh...."
Liu An remained suspicious of this reason. He wanted to let himself go to academic debates. But isn’t there Jia Xiang there? As Zhang Xiang’s most outstanding disciple, Jia Xiang has extremely high academic attainments and needs to help himself? Besides, when did Ah Father start to be so concerned about academic matters?
Liu An's several sects rode horses around him. Now they all have titles, and their mental outlook is completely different from before.
Liu An asked with a stern face: "My father suddenly asked me to go to Zhao State. Why do you think this is?"
Feng Tang pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps something big happened to Zhao State, it must be solved by the people in the temple. His Highness is closest to Zhao State, so he asked you to go directly."
"It makes sense, but what kind of big things need to be brought forward in the temple?"
Feng Tang couldn't say it, so he lowered his head and began to think.
Ju Meng smiled and grinned, "Maybe it's family matters. If it's the family matters of King Zhao, then naturally, you can only come by His Majesty or the Prince..."
"It's unlikely that my third uncle's family affairs are not my turn to point fingers..."
But Mao Chang suddenly said, "Your Majesty wants Jia Xiang and Prince Zhao to come back with you, probably because they have something to do with them..."
Everyone couldn't think of the reason for this. After all, what could happen to Zhao State? Zhao State has no foreign enemies and is relatively calm inside. They have always been working hard to develop themselves. King Zhao and Xiang Jia are also very close to each other on weekdays, and they have never heard of any conflicts between them. As for Prince Zhao, Liu An also heard of it. His brother was very well-behaved and a filial son.
The Tang State was very close to Zhao State. From Jinyang, there were stations to rest all the way. Soon, they entered the territory of Zhao State.
When the Zhao people saw the escort of the Tang Army soldier, their eyes were full of fear and they all avoided them.
The deterrence of the Tang Kingdom is not only on the grassland, but even on the Zhao Kingdom next door.
Liu An looked at the country curiously, and soon, he met everyone who came to greet them. The person who came to greet them was Dianke from Zhao. The man's surname was Wang and could speak well. Liu An followed him all the way to Handan. Liu An did not continue to inquire about anything from then on. Anyway, he was so close to Handan, so there was no need to ask anything more.
Just when they arrived in Handan, King Liu Ruyi of Zhao led all the ministers out to greet him.
Seeing this attitude, even Liu An did not dare to be rude. He hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards his uncle.
"Meet uncle!"
“Hahaha, get up, get up quickly!
”
Liu Ruyi enthusiastically helped Liu An in front of her with a very friendly expression. Liu Chang looked at his uncle's mighty face and remembered that everyone often said that he was the most like a great father, so he couldn't help but put his face into his father. If the great father looked like this, it would be really good, mighty and beautiful.
Liu Ruyi didn't look like something big had happened at all. She smiled and held Youzi's hand affectionately.
Liu An looked around and asked suspiciously: "Why don't you see your sister?"
"Ahem, Jia Yi, he's busy! Let's go, go, follow me back to the palace!"
Liu Ruyi said, holding his hand and walking towards the palace, saying as she walked, "I didn't expect that you would come to pay homage to me. I have always missed you very much. I am very happy that you can come. Today we must not be drunk..."
Liu Ruyi's words did not seem to be fake, and her enthusiasm for Liu An was not fake. However, Liu An always felt that something was wrong with his uncle, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
Liu Ruyi followed King Zhao to meet the queen, and of course his sons. King Zhao had three sons in total, and the crown prince was named Liu Xun.
At the banquet, Liu Ruyi used the highest specifications to entertain her Youzi.
But at the banquet, there was still no trace of Jia Yi.
Liu Ruyi kindly asked about Liu An’s situation, but Liu An didn’t hide it, and told his uncle all his actions over the past few days.
The two were chatting when a soldier came in and reported, "Master! Jia Xiang asked for a meeting!"
Liu Ruyi was stunned, looked at Liu An, and said helplessly: "Let him come in."
Jia Yi walked in. He looked exhausted. Liu An hurriedly got up to pay homage, and the two of them sat facing each other.
Jia Yi looked at Liu Ruyi helplessly and said with a slight : "Master... I have heard a lot of things over the days, but you sent me everywhere to do things, but you just refused to talk about it..."
"Hey, that's just rumors! Don't pay attention!"
King Zhao waved his hand and said disdainfully.
Jia Yi narrowed his eyes, "Is it really a rumor? King, you can't talk nonsense..."
At this moment, Prince Liu Xun could no longer sit still, so he suddenly stood up and said, "Father!
Don't hide it, say it!"
"You guys!
”
Liu Ruyi cursed, looked at Liu An in front of him and the helpless Jia Yi, and had to say truthfully: "In the past few of our mines were excavated with gunpowder..."
"Then what?"
“Then I found a lot of iron and coal!
!”
Liu Ruyi was immediately excited, "My country of Zhao is not poor, do you know? Handan is simply a city built on iron and coal, not just Handan, from Handan to Tang, to Yan, almost all counties have a large amount of iron, copper, and coal... The treasures of Zhao are all underground!
It is said that Wu State has Tongshan, Longxi State has Coal Mountain, and Tang State has Tie Mountain, but we, Zhao State, have all three, and they are extremely large in scale!
!”
Jia Yi sighed, "Then why do you need to hide it from me? You also let me run around..."
"Hey, am I afraid of being robbed... Your personality, before we can send someone to mine, we have to write a letter to Chang'an. At that time, Tang and Yan will come to mine... My Zhao State is so poor. How can you miss such a good opportunity? We must first let our miners occupy the best place, open the mine, and then report to Chang'an!"
Liu Ruyi said proudly.
Then he hurriedly looked at Liu An and said, "Youzi, you can't tell your father about this. After I knew about this, I was hiding it. I sent someone to dig it privately. Apart from this priest, not many people know about it... You have to help me hide it for a while!
”
Hearing Liu Ruyi's words, Liu An hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle... do you think there is a possibility that my father sent me here because of this..."
The smile on Liu Ruyi's face slowly solidified.
Jia Yi patted his forehead.
"King, the princes concealed the temple, secretly started mining and smelting iron. Are you planning to rebel? Now it's over, it's completely finished..."
Jia Yi was desperate again. The king of his family was fine, but he had to do some tricks from time to time. He thought he was used to it, but he didn't expect that he hadn't.
"But how did he know? Then what should I do now..."
"Now... the king must eat less food and exercise more, otherwise the prison car will not be able to hold it..."
