Shifang Hou Yongchi was the most hated person by Emperor Gao.

Yong Chi, who was also from Peixian County and came from a wealthy family, looked down upon Liu Bang. He even looked down on all the fellow Peixian people. He only had a very good relationship with Wang Ling. He had humiliated Liu Bang many times and was unwilling to

He worked under him, stabbed Liu Bang in the back, and finally returned to Liu Bang as a general of Zhao State.

Liu Bang had always wanted to kill him. If it weren't for Zhang Liang's plan, the armor would have been found in Yong Chi's house.

However, Yong Chi has died, and the current Shifang Marquis is his son, Yong Julu. As the first marquis to be granted a title in the Bashu area, their family has a high status in Bashu. In history, they once

They became the most prominent wealthy family in Bashu, and even in the late Han Dynasty, they could still be seen.

When the woman heard Liu Chang's words, she quickly reacted, "Are you the son of Emperor Liu...Gao?"

"Hahaha, you are not stupid either."

Liu Chang's face was full of disdain, "The whole world is my food, so what if I offend you?"

The woman didn't know what to say for a moment, she just snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing the woman leave, Mr. Fan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead. It seemed that his leg was saved.

"Your Majesty, this woman is not a good person, so don't ignore her!"

"It's actually pretty good-looking..."

"Ahem, my lord, do you want to drink?"

Mr. and Mrs. Fan abruptly changed the subject and asked the king to focus on the wine in front of him again. Liu Chang ate the wine and said slowly: "Merchants from all over the country probably know the situation... They are eager to lift the ban.

Seeing how excited they are, it seems that the ban cannot be lifted all at once, but must be done step by step... It is best for Liu Jinglai to oppose it desperately."

Liu Chang stroked his chin and said: "However, this commercial tax may also become an important source of tax revenue for the Han Dynasty in the future... The measures to crack down on merchants should be slightly lighter, and some merchants should be appropriately supported to increase the financial resources of the state treasury.

..As long as there is enough food, I can summon three million people to build Anling for me!"

Zhao Mei took a breath of air.

Among all the people present, he is the most formally dressed. He is obviously a barbarian from South Vietnam, but he is unwilling to let himself be disheveled because of the hot weather. Compared with the sages around him who are showing their minds, he can be regarded as a well-educated and elegant gentleman.

.

Probably because he has followed the king for the shortest time, he is always afraid of some of the king's remarks. Sometimes he feels that fortunately the king was born in a relatively poor era, and he has many ideas in his heart but cannot

Realize, if the position of Qin II was given to him, I am afraid that the Qin State would perish even faster. Qin II did not even dare to summon three million people, but one million people died.

"This time I inspected the people's sentiments in Bashu, it was quite comfortable and fruitful. Next, I will meet the descendants of the widow Qing, let them take the lead, and take a look at the barbarians who were defeated by you.

It’s almost time to go back.”

"The problems in Bashu are that one is the governor, the other is the merchants, and the last one is the roads...the roads here are quite difficult...the Chidao established by the Qin State can no longer be used..."

Liu Chang didn't just come to play, he actually observed a lot.

"When I first wanted to repair Chi Dao, Zhang Shizhi once said that we could let the wealthy families in various places shoulder the responsibility in stages... There are many merchants and wealthy families in Bashu, so why not let them repair it?"

Liu Chang said proudly, "Nowadays, the merchants in Bashu respect me very much. If I want them to build roads, I'm afraid they won't refuse."

Lu Lu asked in surprise: "Your Majesty said earlier that he would abolish the ban. Could it be that he wanted to mobilize merchants to build roads?"

"Ah... um... yes... yes, that's it."

Liu Chang nodded proudly.

Lu Lu sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty is so scheming. I wonder how could your Majesty issue such a stupid decree. It turns out it was for this matter!"

Zhou Shengzhi said displeasedly: "Your Majesty, you always have your own ideas when doing things. How can a stupid person like you see through it? Since your Majesty came to power, the Han Dynasty has become more and more powerful. Your Majesty reviews hundreds of memorials every day and never makes a single mistake.

Mistakes, adequate deployment in various places, rapid development..."

Liu Chang heard this with a smile on his face.

"Shengzhi is right. I always do things with a plan in mind... For example, I am planning to go to Shifang Hou's house. Do you know why?"

Mr. and Mrs. Fan turned pale and said quietly, "It's because the king is greedy for the women in his family."

Liu Chang was immediately angry, "How can you think of me so superficially?"

"Lu, why do you think I want to go?"

Lu Lu was silent for a long time, but Zhou Shengzhi said: "The king is trying to appease the wealthy people of Bashu and ask them to help the newly appointed governor. He also wants to give them a beating so that they don't make mistakes and it is best to take charge of the construction of Bashu!

"

"That's so right!"

Liu Chang patted Zhou Shengzhi's shoulder excitedly, but Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly moved away in pain.

"The king's kindness is too great, I can't bear it!"

"Hahaha, let's go! Go to Yongchi's house!"

The knights from afar came in a hurry. Liu Chang put on his armor, got on his horse, and ran towards the city. Most of the people in Bashu area lived outside the city. In other words,

There are a lot of countryside and small cities. The cities in the Central Plains are surrounded by farmland. In some cities, it would take you several hours to go out on horseback, but the city here is much smaller, and smoke can be seen everywhere outside the city.

.

There are quite a few ferocious beasts here. Liu Chang always carries a strong bow with him when he goes out, so he can hunt at any time.

You can even hear the roar of tigers here. Liu Chang heard it several times and flew over with his horse, hoping to capture the tiger alive. However, Liu Chang was not very lucky and failed to catch it several times. Watching

The king is so keen on hunting that Zhao Mei couldn't help but sigh. Wherever the king goes to inspect in the future, he is afraid that the wild beasts there will be frightened and migrate in advance.

Marquis Shifang's mansion is relatively luxurious, and Liu Chang has also been to many places. In his opinion, the area of ​​this mansion is almost the same as that of Lu Lu's family. From the outside, you can see the high rockery inside.

, you can even hear the roar of wild beasts, which is amazing.

When Liu Chang first entered the city, they seemed to have already received the news. Yong Julu was a tall, handsome middle-aged man. Liu Chang discovered that the better his background, the more good-looking he would be.

Most of the tall and handsome people around my father were counselors with good backgrounds, but the generals who came up from the bottom to fight were far inferior to them.

However, at this moment, Yongjulu had no majesty or grace at all.

Mainly because this man came to greet him naked and carrying a thorn stick on his back.

He looked like he was asking for forgiveness.

All the sages looked at each other in confusion. What kind of trouble did this person make? Why did he still take the blame?

Liu Chang jumped off the horse with a smile and walked in front of this man in a few steps.

"Why are you doing this? Is it possible for me to murder you just because of this little contradiction?"

"Your Majesty! I am guilty! Please punish me severely, Your Majesty!"

"Get up, get up!"

Liu Chang pulled him up unhappily, "It's not your fault that she is disrespectful to me... You don't have to be like this. I am not like King Zhao. I am open-minded and generous. I never do this."

Punish the innocent!"

Yong Julu stood up hesitantly, "Your Majesty... He has committed such a serious crime... I can't break away from the relationship."

"What kind of serious crime is this? Hahaha, to tell you the truth, I still like her! She is good-looking, has a good temperament, and is reckless and straightforward. However, I don't like to be secretive... I just like to be so straightforward.

of!"

Yongjulu's eyes widened and he hesitated, "Your Majesty...you...he...this...but..."

Liu Chang knew at a glance that this person had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I don't have any ulterior motives for her, I just praised her a few times, and I don't covet her body."

"ah???"

Yongjulu was obviously a little frightened, and he nodded blankly.

Liu Chang then took his hand and walked into the mansion with a smile. For some reason, Liu Chang felt that Yong Julu was still very nervous. The hand he was holding was still trembling. Liu Chang couldn't help but comfort him:

"You don't have to worry. Although my father doesn't like your father, that's all in the past. They are all dead, so let them fight on their own. This has nothing to do with us!"

"My father did something wrong at the beginning... He should not have been disrespectful to Emperor Gao, nor should he have neglected his discipline, which made him commit such a big mistake..."

"Hey! As I said, she didn't make any big mistake at all...I never blamed her, hahaha, I have always been soft-hearted towards beauties, and my wife even joked that I should take her as my concubine.

!”

Until the two of them sat down, Yongjulu still felt that something was wrong.

No matter how stupid the king is, he shouldn't think of taking Zhang Yue as his concubine, right?

Although he knew that the old Liu family had always had this tradition, they could only serve as close servants at most and not directly take concubines, right? Besides, could Zhang Yue, that bad old man, really be regarded as a beauty? How could the king covet him?

Where is your body??

Yong Julu felt a little confused for a while.

When he learned that the king was coming, Yong Julu was very scared. He knew that the king came to settle accounts with him. Not to mention that his father had not gotten along with Emperor Gao at the beginning, and even Zhang Yue's rebellion had already made him

After they finished playing, Zhang Yue was a general under Yong Chi.

In the fifth year of Emperor Gao's reign, Zhang Yue joined Yong Chi's troops in Dongyuan and accompanied him to attack King Zang Tu of Yan.

Thanks to his promotion, he has always respected him very much. Yong Chi gave him a lot of guidance and was treated as an elder by him. The relationship between the two families is also very close.

As a result, Zhang Yue rebelled, cursed Liu Chang, and was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison.
