Shentu's appearance was not amazing, with a square face, dark skin, thick hands and feet, like a farmer, and he did not have the demeanor of a state minister at all. The thin-skinned and tender Chao Cuo stood next to him, even more so.

Showing his roughness, at this moment, the two of them stood in front of Liu Chang, obeying his orders.

Liu Chang looked at the two of them. He had not had any interaction with Shen Tujia before.

This person was highly recommended by the fourth brother. According to the fourth brother, this person is reliable and down-to-earth. He doesn't do any nonsense and can take on big responsibilities.

Liu Chang had never heard his fourth brother praise a person so much, and he was quite curious about this person.

"I consider you the Prime Minister of South Vietnam. Why don't you thank me?"

Liu Chang asked.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Tujia said without any change in his expression.

"How are you going to govern South Vietnam next?"

"I will manage it well."

Hearing this answer, Chao Cuo almost laughed out loud. This Prime Minister is quite interesting.

Liu Chang was also a little confused by this answer. He was not a staunch minister like Xuanyi Zhou Chang, nor a treacherous minister like Chen Ping, nor a hawk like Zhang Buyu. How should I put it?

, giving the impression that he is not very smart and not very good at talking.

"Your Majesty, everything is focused on roads. When I am in South Vietnam, I should open roads to connect various places, educate the people, and guard the bandits in South Vietnam..."

Chao Cuo spoke well and answered appropriately in all aspects. He told Liu Chang about his many strategies, and he did not forget to praise the king in his words. He talked eloquently, while Shen Tujia just looked at them quietly,

He always maintains that look, and I always feel that this look is quite similar to Xiao Yan.

Chao Cuo told Liu Chang all the words he had carefully prepared. In the end, he even saluted Liu Chang, "I will definitely live up to the king's high expectations!"

Liu Chang was very satisfied, nodded, and looked at Shen Tujia again, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I listen to your Majesty."

Shen Tujia just said one sentence, and Liu Chang laughed, "Okay, okay!"

Chao Cuo looked at the big boss next to him in surprise. He didn't expect that this thick-browed and big-eyed man could actually have such a wealthy person???

Liu Chang then asked him about his views on some political decrees. Unlike Chao Cuo, a radical, Shen Tujia seemed very conservative. He was a little anxious when he proposed Liu Chang's several strategies, and proposed not to change any political decrees in South Vietnam.

He spent three years in peace, during which he appeased the people and officials, and became aware of those who had ulterior motives for the Han Dynasty.

After the South Vietnamese people feel the benefits of being Han Chinese, they can then start to build roads and educate them. In this way, the resistance encountered in the implementation of the policy will not be too great.

When Chao Cuo heard this, he immediately retorted: "Are we going to waste three years on this kind of thing?"

Shen Tujia was not angry either, "Throughout the ages, the people's hearts have been the most important. How can we despise them?"

"Are South Vietnamese people considered citizens?"

"Now that they have submitted to the Han, they are naturally the subjects of the King. Even if they have broken hair and tattoos, since they have submitted to the Han, they should be treated equally. We don't regard them as people, so how can they regard the King as their king?"

Chao Cuo was speechless and looked at Liu Chang. He knew that the king had great achievements and was impatient and hated waiting. He said, "Your Majesty, how much can you accomplish in three years? How can you allow us to be so wasted?"

But the king, who was always eager for quick success and quick profit, seemed very indifferent at this moment, "Don't worry, it will take decades to govern the Southern Kingdom. What does it mean in just three years? If you feel that something is wrong, you can tell Shentu when the time comes."

Let’s discuss it and see if we can shorten the time.”

Chao Cuo was shocked.

Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo, one is conservative and the other is radical, they work together. If they can be reconciled, it will be the merit of the Tang king in governing the place. If they are not harmonized, wouldn't there be King Wu? The land of the Tang king is in the north.

, what does this have to do with the King of Tang?

Liu Chang was unwilling to waste too much time here. After arranging the appointment here, he threw the burden of governing the south on his fourth brother and left with everyone.

Liu Qi originally wanted to stay in Wu State, but Liu Heng did not agree. Go back to Chang'an and don't get in the way here!

Liu Chang also understood the reason why Liu Qi was kicked out. He heard that he injured one of the fourth brother's favorites with a knife. It would have been easy for the fourth brother not to kill him. Among the three brats, Qi's temper was the best.

Probably the worst, Xiang is bad, but he is not that bad yet. At a young age, Qi has already become a nightmare for the officials of Wu State.

In fact, this guy is not stupid, but his eager personality masks his intelligence, making him look like a brainless fool.

If you work hard, you may be like Liu Zhang and become a great talent that can be used in the clan in the future.

When Liu Chang left, he felt very relaxed and comfortable, and he even couldn't help but hum a ditty.

He no longer has to worry about things in the south. Except for the South Kingdom, no one in the south can really threaten the Han Dynasty. Without foreign enemies, the south can develop with peace of mind. There are good generals and ministers everywhere, and the fourth brother is here to take charge.

Sooner or later, the South will develop.

"Destroying the Xiongnu is a meritorious service, governing the south is a meritorious service, and the bookstore is a meritorious service..."

On the way back, Liu Chang stretched out his hand and counted carefully.

Lu Lu asked curiously: "What is your Majesty doing?"

"In terms of merit, when I get old, I will invite famous people in the country to write down my life's merits. There must be dozens of these great merits. I want to create a perfect meritorious deed to highlight my extraordinary achievements!

"

Lu Lu hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, can you still order this thing to be compiled by yourself?"

"Why not?"

"There is a suspicion of boasting..."

"It's okay. When the time comes, I'll let Zhang Buyu make the proposal, and after the book is completed, I can make a few more offers, wouldn't it be good?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Liu Chang grinned, "This time I traveled alone, but I gained a lot of insights. I will find Prime Minister Zhou when I get back!"

Lu Lu shook his head, poor Prime Minister Zhou.

When he returned to Chu State, the King of Chu failed to come out to greet him again, and Father Zhong's health became worse and worse.

However, he seemed to have changed his mind and no longer asked Liu An to stay.

He sat on the bed with difficulty. Although he was seriously ill, he did not lose his composure. In the royal family, King Chu was probably the most elegant, and it was impossible to tell that he was the younger brother of Emperor Gao. He gently rubbed the few things in front of him.

The little guy looked at Liu Chang with a smile, "Child, you have to teach them well and don't let them indulge."

"I know, Father Zhong."

"You guys go out to play first."

Liu Chang waved his hand and asked them all to leave.

Liu Jiao said seriously: "Sir, I'm going to see my brother. Do you have anything you want me to take with you?"

Liu Chang's lips trembled, "Father Zhong, we have the imperial doctor's order accompanying us, so we can let them..."

"No need to bother... But if you die, why should you be afraid of it?"

Liu Jiao was extremely calm, with no trace of fear of death. His face was full of freedom and ease. He chuckled and said: "Now, I can't even read the book. I want someone to read it to me. My chest is so big."

It’s pain...but also because I’m getting older. I’m afraid that if you leave, it will be difficult for us to see each other again.”

"Father Zhong..."

Liu Chang grabbed Liu Jiao's hand and frowned.

"However, I am still very happy. I can finally get together with you. Hahaha, I finally see a clan like mine... My sons are useless and don't study...", Sure enough, every one of them

All fathers feel that their sons are not like themselves, and the King of Chu is no exception.

"Chief, you have a very impatient personality. You care about big things, but you don't care much about the people's power... Someone is here..."

Liu Jiao waved his hand, and someone walked in with a thick book.

"These are all Confucian classics that I personally annotated. After you go back, if you think of me, you can read them... I like Confucianism, and what I like is benevolent government. The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is despised!

When you want to formulate political decrees, don’t first consider whether it is beneficial to the country, but first consider whether it is beneficial to the people...The people are the country and the foundation of the king...You have to be careful! Be careful!"

"Okay, Father Zhong, don't worry, I won't forget it."

Liu Chang sat in front of Zhongfu, with his head lowered, and did not speak again for a long time.

"It doesn't have to be like this. You have other things to be busy with, so go ahead."

Liu Jiao took out his hand and asked again: "Do you really don't need me to bring a message to your father and your elder brother?"

"No need to bother, I will just tell you later."

"Hahaha, he is really your father's son!"

.........

Liu Xiang touched Liu An.

"What's wrong?"

"Look... Father Zhong, is he studying???"

Liu An raised his head and looked at it for a moment, "I'm reading."

"Ah?? Father Zhong actually studies! Why?!"

Liu An rolled his eyes at him, "You don't think that my father never reads, do you? He just doesn't ask for deep explanations, and he has read quite a few books... Do you think everyone is like you, who has been reading the Analects for three years?
To be continued...
