The first thousand four hundred and forty-ninth section call the shots for the people 1
After seeing off the ministers, Liu Che walked out of the hall and stood on the high platform of Weiyang Palace, overlooking the entire Chang'an.
He suddenly had a sudden impulse and ordered to his left and right: "Go and prepare a car for me. I want to leave the palace and take a look at the city of Chang'an!"
Since this winter, Chang'an City has begun expansion and renovation projects that continue to this day.
Judging from the report of the Shaofu and the reports of the internal history and the censor.
The renovation of Chang'an Luli is now almost complete.
Throughout Chang'an, in the past six months, 115 of the total 125 li were demolished, renovated, renovated and re-planned.
More than 100,000 sets of standard new residences were built, and more than 600,000 middle- and lower-class people were resettled and relocated.
More than fifty miles of drainage channels were renovated, built and re-planned.
A small canal of more than 30 miles was built to introduce Fengshui water from the north of Chang'an City to supply drinking water to the people.
The family residences and government buildings of various yamen in Jiuqing are still under construction, but they are almost coming to an end.
The brand-new Chang'an Nine Markets were also fully completed at the beginning of this month and will be put into use soon.
The entire Chang'an reconstruction project involved a total of more than 100,000 civilians, more than 50,000 Shaofu craftsmen, and 30,000 tunnel camp troops.
It cost more than 250,000 yuan.
This does not include the uncounted tunnel camp troops, slave laborers, and various mountain and swamp resources.
After spending so much money, the results are naturally outstanding.
Liu Che went out on patrol more than a dozen times to inspect the market, and listened to the reports of the Xiuyi Guards many times.
In general, people's trust and support for the country have reached new heights.
But Liu Che didn't believe there was no problem.
He knew very well that for such a huge project, the officials did not do anything about it? No deception or deception?
The person who said this is either without brains or must have ulterior motives!
Of course, he also understands that if the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Officialdom is inherently dirty. Do you want bureaucrats to turn into little white rabbits?
it's out of the question!
As long as Liu Che didn't see many things, he would probably pretend not to know.
This is both a reality and a need for governance.
But now, the transformation of Chang'an City has come to an end. During the entire transformation process, Liu Che is convinced that many contradictions and problems must have accumulated.
At this time, he, the emperor, was needed to step forward to increase his reputation and sense of presence.
Since he ascended the throne, Liu Che has only three plans to rule the people.
First: Tell the people that the officials are the bad ones and the emperor is good.
Second: The emperor and the people share a community of interests.
Third: The emperor will definitely uphold justice for the broad masses of the people and will always care about the people.
These three principles are instilled into the people through jokes, orders, and stories.
Whether it was the fight against Zhou Yangyou to death in Hedong, or the subsequent killing of businessmen in order to implement the price protection of grains, or the handling of the Zhangqiu Incident.
Liu Che and his propaganda officials and Xiuyiwei officials were preaching and publicizing all the time, whitewashing the benevolence and virtue of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and benefiting the people.
At least in Guanzhong, no matter how much the people at the bottom suffer, no matter how wronged they are.
They will not resent the court or the country, and they will only target corrupt officials.
However, Liu Che knew very well that it was impossible to maintain a stable rule just like this.
Doesn’t Xin Pang just brag every day?
But the problem is that this is the result of high-pressure rule and obscurantist policies.
As long as one day, the high-pressure rule loses its power, that is the day Xin Pang will perish.
Therefore, Liu Che understood that he had to appear in front of the people from time to time.
Catch corrupt officials, punish evil officials, and make decisions for the people.
Let the people truly see that the emperor is indeed working hard, running and toiling for their welfare.
There is no better way to win over people, gain prestige, and establish authority than this kind of thing.
Moreover, the cost is low, the effect is high, and most importantly, the influence is long-lasting.
Think about it, a certain common people was tortured by officials and dared to be angry but dare not speak out. At this time, a holy emperor fell from the sky to make decisions for the people, eradicate corrupt officials, and uphold justice.
This common man's family and his neighbors will never forget it.
They will become Liu Che's crazy fans forever.
It is a self-propelled propaganda machine and an automatic navy army.
No incentives, no salary, no staffing required.
Moreover, they will continue to help Liu Che get free publicity for decades or even generations.
All Liu Che had to pay was to leave the palace every few months to cause trouble for the bureaucrats in Chang'an City.
There are other things in this world that you may need to search for with energy.
But corrupt officials cannot escape as long as the ruler is willing!
The only problem is probably safety.
But in Chang'an City, Liu Che didn't need to worry about this matter.
Not to mention that every time he goes out, he is protected by hundreds of capable guards in disguise. Wherever he passes, there are several armies on standby to respond at all times.
Besides, there is no one in Chang'an who might be hostile to him.
Because all the ministers and nobles who once intended to oppose him or were dissatisfied have now gone to Yangling to follow the late emperor.
The remaining crooked melons and cracked jujubes have neither mobility nor ability, and are not to be feared at all.
Liu Che gave the order and naturally started taking action immediately.
Immediately, the eunuchs delivered the casual clothes that had been prepared long ago, and someone else brought a set of perfect disguised identity information.
Well, this time, Liu Che wants to cosplay a child from the Xinyangjun family.
Xinyang Jun is the title of the mother of Nanpi Marquis Dou Pengzu. Her surname is Wang. She is relatively low-key in Chang'an City. However, she is a member of the Dou family and a tiger-level boss. Under normal circumstances, this status is enough to intimidate the bureaucrats.
.
And the disguised followers were quickly prepared.
There are a total of sixteen guards, all dressed as warriors, with swords at their waists and ordinary clothes. They are the kind of aristocratic entourage that is very common nowadays.
In addition, Liu Che also asked someone to call Sima Xiangru.
In the past few years, Sima Xiangru's reputation in the world has been getting higher and higher, and he has even been vaguely named as Jia Yi's successor.
I brought him with me just to tell people that my brother is indeed very powerful!
This way you can avoid harassment from some ignorant guys.
In addition, you can also use Sima Xiangru's words to prove what will happen today.
There was no way, in this pre-Yuan era, Liu Che didn't have the conditions to pose for photos, so he had to find someone strong enough and representative enough to witness.
Sima Xiangru was very happy.
This guy hasn't been too lively in recent years.
He was flirting with girls like crazy in Chang'an City, and at least four or five ladies were jealous of him, almost causing a storm in the city.
It was Liu Che who took action and wiped his butt.
Well, that’s just the way it is for a scholar, you can’t expect too much from him!
