"Your Highness, why don't you go to Tingwei yourself?"
Although Zhou Sheng is considered the little leader of these people, his memory is really not very good. He hesitated this time. He couldn't say a single thing that Chao Cuo told him. He looked at his brothers talking about it.
, None of what he said was reliable, he asked helplessly.
Liu An was startled and wanted to say something. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Now I am different from the past. As a prince, it is not appropriate to go to Tingwei again."
"What's inappropriate about this? Your Majesty, doesn't he go to Tingwei every day? I've seen Your Majesty several times in Tingwei. Your Majesty is more familiar with Tingwei than we are!"
Zhou Zuoche pushed Zhou Sheng with his elbow and cursed angrily: "Your Highness, are you unwilling to go? Your Highness is afraid to go! Zhang Shizhi's fellow has a grudge against His Highness, and His Highness's car was driving in Chang'an.
, you have to avoid Zhang Shizhi when you see him, let alone go directly to Tingwei, isn't that asking for trouble?"
Zhou Sheng reacted immediately and shouted: "Zhang Shizhi, this female thief, is really hateful. We can't let this guy be so proud. We have to find an opportunity to kill this guy and let Xuanping and his father come to the court."
Wei, when Ting Wei’s soldiers come to arrest us, we can take Xuan Ping hostage!”
Liu An's face turned dark and he said unhappily: "Nonsense, who said I dare not go to Tingwei? What about Zhang Shizhi? I just hate this person and don't want to see him!"
"Don't talk about anything else first. Tell me everything Chao Cuo ordered!"
Everyone continued to talk, but what they said was a bit outrageous.
"Chao Cuo said he wanted those scholars to raise pigs!"
Liu An looked at Xia Houci in disbelief, "Are you sure Chao Cuo Shi said this???"
Xia Houci was full of confidence, "Of course, I personally heard him say that those who don't raise pigs won't be harvested!"
"He said it's because the pig farmers don't accept it, right?"
Several people started talking again, but they were all sure that Chao Cuo did say something about raising pigs. Liu An was a little dazed. He looked blankly at Feng Tang aside. Feng Tang was also frowning at this moment. This official assessment
What does it have to do with raising pigs?
Feng Tang hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, why don't you send someone to find out more?"
Liu An was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice: "We are conducting an assessment in the county government this time. The small officials in the county government have the most contact with ordinary people on weekdays... and those children of powerful people with extremely high status, they have always been
He disdains to associate with the common people. Chao Cuo may want us to recruit some people with low status..."
As Liu An talked, he even convinced himself, "Yes, Chao Cuo wants to eliminate those powerful children who are unwilling to do the dirty work and participate in the assessment just for the sake of gold plating. These powerful children come to participate in the assessment.
Children from poor families will definitely not be able to compete, but if it is an assessment of raising pigs, those powerful people will definitely give up..."
"In this way, we can find many people from the private sector who can endure hardships and stand hard work!!"
Liu An clapped his hands violently and shouted: "You are indeed Mr. Chao! You are so serious! No wonder this Lu Jia always disagrees with my petition. Sure enough, my ideas are still a bit too one-sided."
Soon, Liu An lowered his head and stipulated in detail the assessment content of pig raising in his petition, including arranging a seven-day pig raising process to see who could raise the best. This was actually an opportunity.
Eliminate some of the rich and powerful who come to gild the country. After all, raising pigs is a humiliation for the rich and powerful.
Liu An was in a good mood and looked at the wise men again, "Come on, come on, keep talking!"
Xia Houchi said again at this moment: "Chao Cuo also said that the scholars will have to pay for participating in the assessment! They will ruthlessly rob them of their money!"
Liu An was about to get familiar with the pen when he suddenly became confused again and looked at Xia Houci, "Are you sure???"
Seeing that the prince was a little suspicious, Zhou Sheng immediately gave up. He patted his chest and vouched for Xia Houci. He said, "Your Highness, this boy Xia Houci is talented and intelligent. Even among our sages, he has a good reputation."
Yes, he has the best memory, so what he said must be right!"
"Yes, yes, I also remember what Duke Chao said about robbing his property and so on. Yes, that's what Duke Chao said. He said
You have to see who is rich, and then rob the richest person, and do it in front of everyone, so that many people can see it, which has a very good effect!"
Liu An looked at Feng Tang blankly, Feng Tang couldn't sit still at all.
"Your Highness, this is not right. Raising pigs is a thing of the past. What is the reason for robbing property? People come to participate in the assessment and become officials. How unbecoming is it for us to rob other people's property? We need to let everyone in the world know.
Isn't this nonsense? I'm sure Chao Gong would not say such a thing, but if it really doesn't work, I'd better send someone to ask Chao Cuo and stop listening to these people's nonsense..."
Zhou Sheng was furious, "Old man! We went through all kinds of hardships and finally ran out of Tingwei to deliver the news, but you think we are talking nonsense? Everything we said is the truth! If there is even half of it,
What a lie, you asked His Highness to execute me directly!"
Liu An said hurriedly: "Don't be rude to Mr. Feng!"
Liu An frowned and pondered again, "The purpose of raising pigs is to eliminate the powerful, and why is robbery?? Yes! I understand. Nowadays, businessmen from all over the world are doing business in order to earn more money.
They are fully supporting their own children to become officials!"
"But their reputation is not good, so they have no way to become officials through other channels. Does Chao Gong's move mean to eliminate those merchant families? The powerful are unwilling to raise pigs, but the merchants may not be willing, and they have to give them
The world manifests itself, this is to give more opportunities to those scholars who come from poor backgrounds and have no property??"
"Are you going to warn those businessmen not to participate?"
Mao Chang couldn't sit still anymore, "Your Highness, this assessment is to invite scholars from all over the world. Your Majesty has abolished restrictions on merchants, why not recruit their disciples? This is unfair!"
Liu An shook his head, "Chao Gong is a capable man, he may not be so superficial. I think he must have deeper thoughts, but I can't figure it out... However, my brothers can be trusted, and they will not lie.
, Mr. Chao won’t be wrong either.”
"I see!!!"
Liu An slapped his thigh suddenly and shouted: "Chao Gong said that he would rob the richest ones. This is not to eliminate all merchants, just like the powerful. It is to eliminate the big merchants. The big merchants are just like the powerful, or even more.
It’s terrible, the big businessmen of Liang State have already done many things that are harmful to the people!”
"These people sponsor their children to enter the county government just to make things easier for themselves. My father has said many times that these big businessmen have no country in mind. They even thought of selling out secretly when they were engaged in business and were poisoned.
Forbidden weapon monk recipe plan! "
"Chao Gong also doesn't want the assessment to become a place for these people to seek personal gain! No wonder he added the richest one!"
"As expected of Mr. Chao!!"
The more Liu An talked, the more excited he became. Once again he convinced himself. He looked at the servants around him excitedly, "Chao Gong serves as my father's servant. Even my father admires his talents and thinks that there is no one who can make plans in the country."
Comparable to him, now it seems that this statement is true!"
"It's a pity that this person has a bad character. Otherwise, he would really be my wise prime minister from now on!"
Liu An quickly wrote down the policy of eliminating the powerful and big merchants and favoring scholars from ordinary people as much as possible, and asked Mao Chang to explain in detail, classify various situations, and do what to the children of big merchants.
There are many restrictions. For example, if they want to participate in the assessment, they have to spend a lot of money, which will be used for enlightenment studies, etc...
The sages were overjoyed, and Zhou Sheng looked at Feng Tang provocatively and asked, "How is it? Are we still talking nonsense? Do you know how many times we were beaten by Tingwei in order to deliver this news? No matter how many times we were beaten by Tingwei,
No matter how they fought, we didn’t even explain our mission!”
Zhou Zuoche also wiped his tears and said: "In order to be promoted to the imperial court, we even suffered a bad reputation. We respect and love General Xiahou so much that we even offended him!!"
Looking at these sanctimonious people, Feng Tang took a deep breath and ignored them.
"Raising pigs, robbing, and what else, keep talking! Keep talking! Xia Houci, you tell me!"
"Then the assessment is formulated."
Xia Houci was very confident. He said without thinking: "When we came out, Chao Gong said that when formulating the assessment content, we must marry them so that they can form a team, grow old together, and live together..."
Feng Tang stood up suddenly, "Your Highness!!!"
Liu An frowned again, "What is the meaning of this? Is it to test their cooperation ability? Let them get along well? No, Chao Gong must have other deep intentions..."
The sages stayed at Liu An's place until the evening, and several people lived here directly. Liu An also quickly improved his petition. After the sages took the lead, Liu An's petition became completely different from the last time.
Different, completely different. Liu An didn’t believe he could write this thing.
Because this is really too different. The various assessment contents and assessment methods are simply unheard of and have never been heard of. These advanced ones are a bit too much. The more Liu An looks at it, the more satisfied he becomes. This is probably where he is not as good as Chao Cuo.
Well, this Chao Cuo is really amazing!
After thinking about it for so many days, I only thought about it a little bit. Chao Cuo is good. These things he proposed are truly unprecedented and unprecedented. No one can compare with them.
A talented person like him cannot be matched by his own sacrifice. Why do all good talented people belong to my father?
Liu An didn't understand it, but this thing should have passed through Lu Jia, right?
Liu An did not dare to delay any further. After the plan was completed, he led his servants to Lu Jia's mansion in a hurry, preparing to teach Lu Jia all these things for review.
Ju Meng followed Liu An and whispered: "Your Highness, we will preside over this assessment. This is a good opportunity to increase our momentum and we must not miss it. Now Chao Cuo is in prison and no one knows
The things he reported to us, why not just say that these are all our own ideas..."
When Liu An heard this, he frowned immediately.
"Nonsense!"
"As the prince of the Han Dynasty, how can I do such a thing? As a king, can I still swallow up the credit of the ministers? Is this something that a king can do? That is something that even a tyrant cannot do!!
"
Mao Chang's face changed drastically and she started coughing crazily.
His meaning is very clear. Your Highness, you should be careful what you say. Someone will hear it and something will happen!
Liu An didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "I just want to let the world know that I am a man who can use talents. I will not take away the merits of the ministers. If you go around and say it, it is Chao Cuo."
I will never be able to accomplish this with all my power!"
"From now on, ministers from all over the country can tell me their good ideas. If they are wrong, I will not blame them. If they are right, I will definitely reward them!"
"only!!"
When Liu An handed over his new plan to Lu Jia, Lu Jia, a fierce man who had defeated Xiang Yu, been to South Vietnam, fought against the Huns, and overturned the Western Regions, was a little confused, and his expression became more and more confused.
Complex, he started to pull his beard, and his expression became more and more serious the more he looked at it.
Liu An sat confidently in front of him, waiting for his evaluation.
Lu Jia murmured: "Your Highness is a great talent. I have never heard of these assessment methods. They are really strange. However, the strangeness must have miraculous effects... Your Highness is a great talent, I admire you!"
Liu An said with some shame: "Actually, these are not my thoughts. Chao Cuo sent people from prison to bring these to me. I am still not as good as Chao Gong."
"Ah??? Chao Cuo's idea?? Impossible!!"
Lu Jia rejected it outright and shook his head firmly, "This is definitely not what Chao Cuo came up with. Chao Cuo's political proposals have always been radical, and they are righteous rather than strange. This is not like what he can come up with.
.”
"Mr. Lu, I'm not deceiving. This was indeed all drawn up by Chao Cuo himself. This is what I heard with my own ears. Maybe he had different ideas in prison. Chao Cuo has spent all these years
, and the progress has been quite big..."
"But this change is too big..."
Lu Jia hesitated for a moment and said: "Chao Cuo is a man of great talent, but it's a pity that if he could change, he might not be able to reach the level of Fenhou and Peiping."
However, this person is too impatient and is not suitable for His Majesty. He can only be used by His Majesty."
"Such a person is like a sharp sword. If you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself."
Liu An said seriously, "Please rest assured, I have learned swordsmanship from my father since I was a child. Even if I cannot learn all of my father's swordsmanship, I will definitely be able to learn 60% of it!"
Lu Jia laughed, and this was the first time he smiled at Liu An, "Your Highness is ambitious! Well, originally I didn't agree with Your Highness, but His Highness's content was mostly based on various ancient books. It seemed perfect, but it was
It’s very empty and doesn’t have an accurate concept.”
"Now it seems that His Highness has found the idea. The so-called assessment is actually to select talented people. To be precise, it is to select talented people at the bottom and break the monopoly of the powerful for the purpose of rejuvenating the country. His Highness has now seen through it and made the decision
A lot of responses, this is enough, the old minister agreed, His Highness can implement it!!"
Liu An was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Since you have discovered my shortcomings a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Jia smiled bitterly, "I am old, and I can still remind His Highness now. If I am no longer waiting in the future, who will remind you? There are some things that His Highness should think about by himself, but why, Chao Cuo?
...However, Chao Cuo is still young, and he can still remind His Highness for a long time. However, His Highness still needs to learn to analyze by himself..."
Liu An stood up very sincerely and saluted Lu Jia again.
"I have offended you a lot in the past, please don't be offended."
"No problem, Your Highness, please go and do the work quickly!"
Liu An got Lu Jia's permission and started taking action immediately. First of all, he wanted to publish the assessment information in newspapers through Lu Jia. Today's newspapers are still very busy, reporting on the Longxi giant bandits.
matter.
After Liu Chang made the decision, he encountered too many ministers' objections, so he asked Fengchang Mansion to publish the incident in a newspaper for everyone in the world to see, especially to explain how many times Guo Xie had escaped criminal law.
, things that harmed people everywhere.
Sure enough, after the news spread to various places, the ministers no longer dared to be so opposed to dealing with Xu Fu.
After learning about Guo Xie's crimes, people everywhere were very satisfied with the outcome of their family's treatment. It would be a shame for such a wicked person to die, but the crime of those who protected him was even greater. Hundreds of lives were lost.
Their share!!
The people not only demanded that his clan be dealt with, they also hoped that the officials who colluded with them should be dealt with as well.
When people all over the world began to denounce Guo Xie, the ministers became cautious. They did not want their reputation to be stained, especially when the students of the Imperial Academy began to demand punishment. If they spoke, they would be easily punished.
Target those lunatics from Taixue.
Liu An mobilized all his scholars and talents to start handling this matter. The matter of the assessment quickly spread, and scholars from all over the country began to get up and go to Chang'an. Liu An also became busy.
At this time, Tingwei finally found out the problem of river water management. Chao Cuo did act excessively. The number of people he reported did not match the number of migrants. This was a felony. However, he did not cause any casualties.
This guy actually used his own money to subsidize it, and he worked hard to make it happen.
After various investigations, Tingwei made a judgment on Chao Cuo, fined him 20 degrees and demoted him to one rank.
Chao Cuo didn't care about such punishment. When Zhang Shizhi came to let him go, he was full of pride, "Oh, I told you a long time ago that you will let me go. How about it?"
"Even if I am in prison, the assessment will still be handled according to my instructions!"
Zhang Shizhi nodded, "Your idea is good, I also read it in the newspaper, but why do you want talented people to raise pigs?"
"Ah?? Who asked them to raise pigs??"
"Um...didn't you say that you sent someone to tell the prince that you should let the talented people raise pigs?"
"I'm talking about Yang Zhu!! Yang Zhu School!! Yang Zhu School of Taoism!!"
"What about robbing property??"
"What kind of robbery!! I'm talking about talented people!! If there is
Those who have outstanding talents in certain aspects can be directly adopted. They are talented people!!"
"So joining a team in pairs, cooking for oneself, wearing a sword, hunting wild boars in the wild, etc. are all different from what you said??"
Chao Cuo was stunned and confused for a long time. What are these things???
Finally, he looked at Zhang Shizhi blankly and murmured:
"I've thought about it. My crimes are so heinous that I really can't be released... I'd better go back to prison."
ps: I arrived in Tianjin the day before yesterday and was successfully hospitalized yesterday. I can finally write today... I have kept everyone waiting for a long time. The main reason is that it is not easy for us to come to Tianjin for medical treatment. We have been extremely busy these days. Fengyi was even more busy last night
The Children's Hospital stayed with me until four o'clock in the middle of the night... I'm really sorry for all the readers. Alas, I will try my best to update.
