Liu De sat down at the head of the table, then cupped his hands and said, "Gentlemen, please sit down and talk..."
Only then did everyone sit on both sides.
Liu De observed a little and found that the positions of these people and the order in which they were seated were very particular, and they were not done randomly.
Zhang Tang was the first to take his seat and knelt down on the first seat on the left, followed by a young man named Tian Jia, and then a burly man named Yan Jiu...
It can be seen that in this small group, a top-down order has been created and a certain degree of organizational ability has been formed.
This means that this small group has initially acquired combat effectiveness.
"Zhang Qing!" Liu De asked after everyone sat down: "How is it? Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Liu Che came out to pay homage and said, "Go back to Your Highness. The ministers are ready to go. We are just waiting for Your Highness to give orders!"
Liu Defu said: "Good! Then do what you want!"
Marquis Piyang must die!
If he doesn't die, how can he show Liu De's tactics?
Liu De added: "Besides, I have something else to do when I come here this time..."
At this point, Liu De was also a little embarrassed.
But there is no other way. The only person he can rely on now is Zhang Tang. Let’s not worry about whether he has three heads and six arms. Let’s catch the ducks and put them on the shelf!
Liu De took out a stack of silk books from his arms, asked Zhang Tang to come over and take it, and said: "This is an idea I came up with. Please follow the steps written on it and go to Changling Imperial Manor outside Chang'an City to supervise
The craftsmen will make the white paper I want as soon as possible..."
Liu De thought for a while and said: "It is best to produce qualified white paper before the middle of next month!"
Next month is Cheap Daddy's birthday. If you can come up with a blank piece of paper as a gift then, it will be a bonus.
Zhang Tang took the silk book, read it, bowed his hands and said, "Promise, I will do my best!"
This kind of supervising craftsmen and supervising projects is not a problem for Legalist disciples at all.
You must know that even super projects such as the Great Wall, Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, and Epang Palace were all built under the supervision and supervision of Legalist bureaucrats.
Among all the philosophers, what Legalists are best at is also engineering construction.
The blank paper can be handed over to Zhang Tang and he can send people to supervise and supervise, but the coinage cannot be handed over to him.
Financial power and personnel power are the core of any political group. They can only be controlled by Liu De himself and cannot be handed over to anyone else!
Liu De listened to Zhang Tang's plan again.
I feel that although Zhang Tang is young, he is still very stable in his work.
According to Zhang Tang's plan, he would first send people to keep an eye on Piyanghou's shop properties in Huaishi, remember the people who often come in and out every day, and then find a breakthrough from those people.
This is close to the criminal investigation methods of later generations.
However, there are still some flaws.
After listening to the plan of Zhang Tang and others, Liu De said: "The plan is already very good, but some details still need to be strengthened!"
"Please give me your advice, Your Highness!" Zhang Tang lowered his head and said, but he didn't care in his heart, because he felt that his plan was already perfect. Besides, Liu De was just a prince. No matter how powerful he was, he could not compare to a Legalist who only made a living in criminal investigation.
powerful?
Liu Dedao: "Although your plan is good, you have forgotten one essence. Marquis Piyang has long been disobedient. He has been secretly keeping warriors and hiding weapons for a long time. Such a thief must have a guilty conscience. With your plan, it is inevitable
They will alert the snake, so your people should never get too close to Piyanghou's property before there is conclusive evidence. Even if they are under surveillance, they should pretend to pawn things in the attic of a shop near his property. If possible, take the money.
A shop is also good as a surveillance point!”
"As for the money issue, you don't have to worry. I will allocate another five hundred gold to you as funding!" Liu De waved his hand to stop Zhang Tang from speaking.
I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf!
As long as you can bring down Piyang Hou, all your current efforts will be compensated.
"Your Highness, Holy Ming!" Zhang Tang and others all bowed down and said.
At the same time, in the hearts of these people, they no longer dare to underestimate Liu De - as a prince, he even knows something about criminal investigation. If you want to be clever in the future, you have to be more leisurely, just in case you are clever but you are clever.
Wrong, wouldn’t that be tragic?
…………………………………………
Liu De left the house, got on the carriage, and came to Nanling outside Chang'an City. Because Nanling was newly built, the road was quite bumpy. It took some effort for Liu De to find the coin workshop that Deng Tong built here.
Holding the royal talisman and the official document signed by the young master, Liu De was especially guarded by a group of forbidden troops to protect his safety.
Almost immediately, the workshop supervisor came crawling out to see him.
"The villain Zheng Quan pays homage to His Highness!"
"Get up..." Liu De said calmly as he got off the carriage.
On the way here, Liu De had already read the files he got from the Shaofu.
This coin-casting workshop located on the outskirts of Nanling City is called Jia Er in the Shaofu archives. The person responsible for supervising the operation of this workshop is a Baishi official under the Shaofu Jinbu Cao, named Uncle Zheng. It is said that he was the original
A famous great engineer during the Warring States Period and a descendant of Zheng Guo who presided over the construction of the Zheng Guo Canal.
Now it seems that Uncle Zheng is not on duty in this workshop today.
As for this person named Zheng Quan, the Shaofu archives also mentioned it briefly, saying that he was only a supervisor and nothing else.
Liu De threw the official documents from the Shaofu to Zheng Quandao: "From today on, everyone in this workshop, including everyone in the workshop, must obey my orders and must not disobey them, otherwise military law will be enforced!"
There is no need for Liu De to be polite to these petty officials.
Liu De naturally knew that, like the workshops under the Shaofu name, except for the military workshops, which were related to the military and implemented the "Wule Work Name" system inherited from the Qin Dynasty, there were very few tricks and no one dared to cut corners.
If it were anywhere else, it would be a sieve!
Not only the emperor's relatives worked hard to poach people, but also the bureaucrats at all levels of the young government were trying to do something, and they were all full of fat. Of course, the subordinates and supervisors below also followed suit.
A money-making workshop like this is full of loopholes!
It's just a waste of money. It's normal to mix iron and lead into the money, then cast the saved copper into new money and stuff it secretly into your pocket.
Liu De was too lazy to take care of what happened before and couldn't.
However, since he took over the workshop, this kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen again.
To this end, Liu De even requested a warrant from Empress Bo and transferred two trusted eunuchs from Li Xin. Liu De planned to ask these two eunuchs to help him keep an eye on the future casting of this workshop.
This method was learned by Liu De from Ming Shenzong in the Ming Dynasty.
Using eunuchs to supervise engineering and manufacturing is basically unfavorable.
Because eunuchs rely on the royal family to survive!
If they want to live a good life, they must please the superiors. Therefore, eunuchs are often able to faithfully complete various tasks assigned by the royal family.
Listening to Liu De's murderous words, the supervisor named Zheng Quan felt a chill go down his spine and said solemnly: "Promise, I will definitely obey orders, I will definitely obey orders!"
"You, go and call all the craftsmen here now. I have something to tell them!" Liu De ordered unceremoniously. He knew that for these small officials, they would not listen to benevolence. They must
Only by controlling them with an iron hand will they become honest.
"No!" Zheng Quan kowtowed and stood up, then went in and called out all the craftsmen.
Not long after, there were about thirty craftsmen kneeling sparsely in the open space in front of the workshop.
Most of these craftsmen's faces were covered with stains and dust, and their upper bodies were naked. It was obvious that their living conditions were not good.
However, after meeting Liu De, these craftsmen were not afraid, let alone fearful. Some old craftsmen even started to cry and kowtowed in emotion: "I, the little man, bow to your highness. I wish your highness a long life.
A hundred years of good fortune!”
Unless the heavily armed guards standing on both sides were guarding and blocking him, the excited people might have rushed forward and hugged Liu De's thighs.
This situation reminded Liu De of Comrade Jin Sanpang and the people who "loyally supported" him in the Great Heaven.
However, I still don’t know whether the one about Jin Sanpang is real or fake.
What is happening in front of me is really a fact that cannot be true anymore.
Of course, Liu De also understood that these people were not supporting him, but they were supporting his status as a prince and the aura of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's blood surrounding him.
Liu De's imperial grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty, left a legacy to Liu De's cheap father and Liu De. There is no doubt that it is extremely rich.
When Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was alive, almost all the poor people in the world had received his kindness. In addition to his superb acting skills and long-sleeved dancing skills, countless common people regarded him as a living saint.
His legacy is even far-reaching. In later generations, Liu Che was able to die in good health because of his aggressive military activities and the exhaustion of people's livelihood in the world, and there was no large-scale peasant uprising. In other dynasties, it is simply unbelievable, but in the Han Dynasty, it was unbelievable.
It really happened.
"No need to stop them..." Liu De waved his hands to the guards and said, "They are all subjects of the Han family and will not hurt me!"
Then, Liu De showed a very friendly smile and walked over without any scruples. He didn't care at all about the stains on the craftsmen's bodies and the stench all over their bodies, and helped them up one by one.
"Oh, how can I be so virtuous as a boy? I don't deserve such a great gift from you, I don't deserve it!" Liu De showed off his acting skills while squeezing out a few tears and said affectionately: "For the sake of my Han family's world, I will let you all suffer.
Come on, I bow to you all!" After saying that, he bowed deeply to the craftsmen.
After listening to Liu De's words, a craftsman burst into tears when he saw Liu De bowing: "Your Highness, you can't do it, you can't do it! You are so noble, how can you salute to us ants-like common people!"
Liu De walked up to him and said kindly: "Of course I deserve it! Without your hard work and diligence, how could I wear this brocade clothes and eat the corn on my plate? When the late emperor was here, he once said to me: Who
Knowing that every grain of food on the plate has been worked hard, I have repeatedly warned you, you must keep all the people in the world in your heart, and you must create benefits for all people in the world!"
When he said this, Liu De felt a little shameless...
