After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, Liu De saw Kaifeng Hou Tao Qing walking out of Qingliang Hall with her body hunched over.
Judging from the situation, he must have been scolded by the cheap daddy, so he was in a daze when walking. It wasn't until Liu De walked up to him that he discovered Liu De's existence.
"Your Highness!" Tao Qing bowed slightly and saluted Liu De.
"Jun Hou, the ground is a little slippery, be careful of falling!" Liu De said with a smile on his face and concern, and at the same time he ordered to the left and right: "Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to come out and sweep the ground clean!?"
As soon as these words came out, Tao Qing's entire face changed color: "Your Highness, there is no need for this, your carriage is right in front, you can walk over in a few steps!"
What a joke!
If Liu De followed Liu De's approach, Chao Cuo would know within half an hour that he, Tao Qing, came to Weiyang Palace early in the morning to see him.
"Haha... In that case, please take care of yourself!" Liu De didn't force it, he just felt very happy looking at Tao Qing's frightened face.
Tao Qing didn't know why, but when he looked at Liu De's smiling face, his back suddenly felt cold.
He lowered his head and said: "I'm leaving..."
Looking at Tao Qingcheng's fearful figure walking away, Liu De also sighed.
At this time in his previous life, he was so weak that Tao Qing could pin him to the ground and beat him up.
But now everything has been reversed. In his eyes, Tao Qing is not even a threat.
"Power is such a good thing..." Liu De looked up at the sky: "I have to work harder to get more power!"
With this thought, Liu De, led by Zhang De, crossed a threshold and entered the Qingliang Hall.
"My son Liu De pays homage to my father!" Liu De bowed before him.
"Get up..." The emperor seemed to have caught a cold today, and his voice was obviously hoarse. He ordered the people around him: "Hurry and prepare a seat for His Highness!"
After Liu De sat down, Emperor Liu Qi asked: "Liu De, what's wrong with you?"
"To inform my father, I recently went to the people incognito and gained a little bit. Therefore, I wrote a memorial about what I saw, heard and thought, and asked my father to read it!" Liu De said, and put his hand in his arms.
The silk letter was presented in his hand.
"Liu De, you can think of visiting the farmers, that's good!" As soon as he heard about Liu De's private visit incognito, Liu Qi immediately became interested: "Bring it to me and show it to me!"
Immediately, a eunuch took away the silk book and presented it to the king.
Liu Qi opened the silk book, took a look at the handwriting on it, and nodded secretly in his heart. Regardless of the content of this silk book, just the neat handwriting and neatly arranged words can add a lot of points.
"It seems that my son has found some good helpers!" Liu Qi nodded secretly.
Looking at the content again, from the first word, Liu Qi felt that this memorial seemed to have magic power, attracting his attention. Especially when Liu Qi saw the strong literary style of Li Kui, he nodded with satisfaction,
Among the Legalists, Liu Qi most admired Li Kui's style of describing things based on facts. Later, when the memorial began to talk about how to solve the problem of low grain prices harming farmers and high grain prices harming farmers, the emperor's brows gradually
It locked up tightly, and then slowly relaxed.
After looking over and over several times, Emperor Liu Qi finally looked up at Liu De and asked, "Is this what you thought of?"
"I dare not deceive my father. It is indeed my son's idea..." Liu De looked at the cheap daddy with his head held high and replied.
"Is it feasible?" Emperor Liu Qi tapped the table with his finger and asked: "Using protective prices to protect people's income is a good idea, but it is a big step. I don't know whether it will happen.
resistance!"
Liu De's memorial was actually a plagiarism of the grain protection price policy of later dynasties.
By establishing a large number of warehousing facilities in various places, all the grain that floods into the market is purchased in unlimited quantities at the protective price set by the government in good years, and then sold at low prices in disaster years to stabilize grain prices.
This is also the basic measure used by all dynasties to deal with the low price of grain, which harms farmers, and the high value of grain, which harms farmers.
It’s just that China has an extra protective price.
Liu De himself knew very well that when his policy was put forward, the first people to be angered would be the big grain merchants, especially the big grain merchants who transported grain from Guandong to Guanzhong.
That's why Cheap Daddy said he took a step too far.
But what is a businessman?
Aren’t they just fat sheep raised by the rulers?
If those businessmen really think that they are a big deal and know a few officials, so they dare to talk nonsense about such important national affairs, Liu De doesn't mind creating a few cases of slander.
"How can one family cry together instead of crying together?" Liu Debai said: "Father, I believe that this matter is a contribution to the present and will benefit the future, so we should make a decision as soon as possible!"
The Emperor Liu Qi hesitated for a while and said: "There is no rush in this matter... I will make it public in the morning tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you will come to listen. Do you understand?"
"No!" Liu De was overjoyed and sat in on the morning court. In a sense, it was the power only the prince had.
Does this mean that Cheap Daddy has decided to make him his reserve?
Regardless, this is a good sign.
"Is there anything else?" Emperor Liu Qi asked when he saw that Liu De had not resigned yet.
"Reporting to the emperor, I would like to know where Liu Yan will be sealed?" Liu De bowed and asked.
"Liu Yan..." Emperor Liu Qi smiled and tried to test: "It should be either Changsha or Linjiang..."
"My son, I beg your father to have mercy. Liu Yan has been in poor health since he was a child. He went to the south. I am worried that his health will not be able to bear it..." Liu De knelt down and worshiped: "I beg your father to have mercy!"
"Okay, okay, get up!" The emperor laughed loudly: "How could I not know that Liu Yan is in poor health, so he has ordered Zongzheng to be transferred to the Hejian Kingdom!"
Liu De then dropped a big stone and said, "My dear father, thank you very much!"
"If nothing happens, you can go back early to prepare for tomorrow's morning meeting..." The emperor waved his hand and said, "I still have things to deal with here!"
"No!" Liu De bowed and said, "My son, please retire!"
After leaving Qingliang Hall, it was still raining heavily outside.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Liu De seemed to hear a familiar voice from far away.
It’s the kingly way!
Calculating the time, it is indeed time for him to come back, but has he brought back Ju Meng?
Wang Dao walked up to Liu De in a dusty journey, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I am lucky enough to live up to my command and have secured a plot for Your Highness!"
"Okay!" Liu De happily helped Wang Dao up and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Where is the Jumeng people?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, Mr. Ju Meng and his disciple Nuanpai are resting in a shop in Chang'an..." Wang Dao replied: "Your Highness wants to see them?"
"Them?" Liu De asked, "How many people came in total?"
"Thirteen people!" Wang Dao happily expressed his merit: "They are all heroes from Luoyang, disciples of Mr. Ju Meng, etc."
...Thirteen Taibao?
Liu De cursed in his heart, but nodded and said: "Take me to see them first!"
