"Your Highness, are you still waiting for someone?" Ji An was invited to the inner hall by Liu De and found three tables placed there, so he asked curiously.
"Yes!" Liu De nodded and said, "There is another talented person like Ji Qing coming, please wait for now..."
About two-quarters of an hour later, Ji An saw a young man in green clothes walking in under the guidance of two eunuchs.
"His Highness also recruited other talents before me?" Ji An thought to himself.
I heard the young man say hello: "Your Majesty, I wish you well!"
But Liu De laughed out loud: "Qing, please get up quickly..." Then he kindly helped the man up, took his hand, walked to Ji An, and introduced: "Ji Qing, please
Allow me to introduce to you, this is Zhang Tang, my humerus, who is now managing many affairs for me!"
"Zhang Qing, this is Ji An, and you are now serving as my staff..." Liu De had a kind smile on his face, took their hands, and said enthusiastically: "The two Qing families should get closer in the future!"
Zhang Tang and Ji An also had some smiles on their faces and nodded to each other.
But privately, Zhang Tang had other thoughts in his mind: "I seem to smell the smell of old-fashioned mediocrity!"
When Ji An first met Zhang Tang, he felt a little uncomfortable. When he heard the other person's name, he immediately remembered a name he had heard in Chang'an City these days. He knew it when he was young.
Isn't it Zhang Tang who opened the execution hall and used the law to judge the rats who stole the meat?
In my heart, I immediately had no favorable impression of Zhang Tang.
"Hmph, a butcher covered in blood!" Ji An thought, but because of Liu De's face, he could only give in.
Liu took the two of them and arranged them to sit down respectively. He then ordered the maid to serve wine and meat, and then he walked back to his seat with a smile.
It's just that there's something weird about that smile.
In fact, Liu De knew that Zhang Tang and Ji An were like two young lions. Once they met, they would inevitably have conflicts.
This is something that is simply unavoidable.
Because Zhang Tang is a Legalist, and Legalists advocate big government. In short, the ultimate ideal of Legalists is that the government should be able to intervene in everything, even the people's eating, drinking, drinking, burial, and marriage. If the government can intervene
, it’s best to intervene.
Therefore, for legalists, law is only a means to implement their policies. If the law hinders them from implementing their policies, then - reform.
But Ji An is a student of Huang Lao. Huang Lao's theory advocates small government, respects quietness and rests with the people. The Huang Lao sect has always believed that as long as the people do not violate the laws established by the government, then even if they blow up the earth, the government will not
There should be no interference.
The political ideas between the two are as unrelated as each other. It would be strange if these two people could like each other!
However, fortunately, the two of them were from Legalism and Huanglao Sect respectively, which meant that they had different political ideas and did not have much hatred. If Mohists and Confucians or Confucians and Legalists were sitting together, then Liu De would
I feel that if they don’t fight, they are already broad-minded...
"My dear friends, come on, come on, let's raise our glasses and drink this wine together!" Liu De raised his glass and said with a smile of successful mischief.
"Your Highness!" The two men turned their heads and raised their wine glasses.
After drinking all the wine in his hand, Zhang Tang said: "Your Highness, the things your order has supervised are now almost complete. In another half month at most, Your Highness will be able to see the results!"
Liu De nodded after hearing this. He knew that Zhang Tang was talking about papermaking.
It's natural to think about it. There are skilled craftsmen and mature craftsmanship processes provided by him. If the blank paper can't be produced, it can only mean that Zhang Tang is a waste!
"How are the properties of the Piyang rebels being inspected now?" Liu De asked the topic he was most concerned about right now.
When Piyang Hou Shenpingji found out that he was surrounded by the Forbidden Army, he decisively committed suicide, which also saved Liu De and his cheap father some effort.
But after his death, Liu De suffered from the property and various accounts he left behind.
Facts have proved that confiscating a home is also a technical job.
To completely liquidate, inspect and confiscate the property of a huge Chehou family bit by bit is destined to be a long process, and it cannot be completed in less than three or two months.
"Your Majesty, I have basically sealed up all the shops and houses of the criminal thief in Chang'an. I am leading my subordinates to count and make statistics. In two days, I should be able to complete the count and then report back.
With Your Highness..." Zhang Tang replied: "It's just that the property of the thief in Guandong is hard to touch..."
"It's okay, don't worry about it!" Liu De waved his hand.
Everyone understands the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows, and this judge is not an idiot.
Based on what we currently know and understand.
A long time ago, Shen Pingji sent several of his sons to Wu, Chu, Zhao and other countries to buy their own properties.
This point has now become evidence to quell the ambition of Ji Langzi.
However, in this way, it will be difficult to completely destroy the Piyanghou family.
Needless to say, the two countries Wu and Chu had estranged themselves from the Han court a long time ago. If they really sent an envoy to Wu Chu to ask for Shen Pingji's descendants, and the other party couldn't find this person, Cheap Daddy and Liu De would be stunned.
As for the princes of Zhao State, Huainan State, and Hengshan State, they are also the ones currently being fought for, and it is impossible to stimulate these princes for one or two small shrimps that have slipped through the net.
Therefore, the matter can only be left alone for the time being.
"You two, please try to count out the valuable gold and bronze items first and send them to me. I will be of great use!" Liu De ordered.
After the gold vessels are melted, they will be used as gold cakes. The examination will be held soon. Liu De estimates that it will not work if he does not prepare a budget of two thousand gold.
As for the bronze wares, they will all be sent to mint workshops to be used as raw materials for the five-baht coins.
"No!" Zhang Tang nodded: "I will take care of this matter immediately after I return!"
Liu De turned his head and said to Ji An: "Ji Qing, would you be willing to go with Zhang Qing to sort out, record and seize the property of Shen Ni in the past two days?"
Liu De wanted to bring Ji An and Zhang Tang together so quickly. Of course, it couldn't be because of his bad taste.
Rather, he needs the two of them to work together, become familiar with each other, and have some tacit understanding.
In this way, he will have someone available for the upcoming examination.
The most important thing is that the lonely sun does not grow long and the lonely shadow does not give birth. Liu De still hopes that these two young people from different schools can get along well and grow with each other. This can be regarded as a small experiment for him, right?
Let’s see if there will be a chemical reaction between a Legalist and a Huang-Lao scholar after getting along day and night.
"No!" Ji An didn't think so much and nodded in agreement.

I feel like I haven’t written this chapter well, so I’ll pass it on first. I’m having a really uncomfortable cough right now. I cough almost every three minutes. Damn it, it’s like this every time I catch a cold. I wonder if any readers have any special remedies to deal with colds.
Will you have to suffer from the persistent cough?
