Chapter 504(1/2)
The next day, when Liu Chang woke up, it was noon.
Fan Qing and Yong E have both left. I don’t know where they are busy. Liu Chang put on his clothes and sat up yawning. Last night, he did not expose Liu An. Although he really wanted to do that, this is not
It was not because of his father-son relationship that he found out with conscience, mainly because... He could finally make An obedient. If he was disobedient, he would tell him about this matter, and see if he would still have it in the future.
What kind of face do you want to see them!
Thinking of this, Liu Chang couldn't help but laugh as a villain.
This guy finally got a handle in his own hands.
When the nearby servants heard Liu Chang's laughter, someone came in and brought the prepared food. Liu Chang was eating the food, looking at the many nearby servants, and asked, "Have you not come back yet?
?”
"Your Majesty, Marquis Jiancheng has not come back yet."
Lu Lu took a few days off. It is said that something happened to his trade under his name and needed to be resolved. Liu Chang didn't say much. Although the Han Dynasty did not recommend officials to do business, Lu Lu was the Marquis of Jiancheng.
When I went to handle the property, the empress dowager didn't say much. Liu Chang was thinking that maybe there would be useful things in the future to get Lu Lu, so I didn't care about him and used him for experiments from time to time.
For example, the Wuding Tower he built before was Liu Chang's masterpiece. Liu Chang encouraged him to build a big restaurant and use high enjoyment to attract customers. Perhaps he could make a big profit. Lu Lu thought about it and it was true.
I went to do it, and invested more than 60 million yuan in succession, setting up Wuding Tower in Chang'an, Luoyang, Handan, Jinyang and other cities. After the huge investment, he really made a lot of money.
The big man has many restaurants, but he has never had such luxurious food. The food is not something ordinary people can afford, and there are singing and dancing to entertain it. All aspects are simply royal and princely treatment. Anyone is curious and wants to
To give it a try, those nobles often come to party with friends. Therefore, after opening restaurants everywhere, the profits were quite good. Lu Lu just shook his head and said bitterly that he had to pay more taxes.
Liu Chang regarded Lu Lu as his "villain" and all the strange ideas in his mind were experimented on him, just to see how the results were.
Not long ago, Liu Chang instigated him to open private inns everywhere. Lu Lu was shocked. This inn for passers-by to rest has always been run by the government, and there is no fee, which is considered a national welfare.
Can a part of it be opened in private?
Liu Chang bewitched: As long as you can do it like Wudinglou, rich people will definitely be willing to live with you. Even if you spend some money, I guess they will be willing.
So, Lu Lu opened the post house again, and the ministers had a worse impression of him. It would be fine if they competed for profit with the people, but then they began to compete with the country for profit.
However, there was a large amulet behind Lu Lu, and the ministers could not do anything to him.
Lu Lu's business is getting bigger and bigger, spreading all over the world. It cannot be said that it is not without Liu Chang's contribution. Liu Chang was willing to make trouble. He even planned to make Lu Lu the first merchants to go to the sacrificial business to trade. This is not to let
Lu Lu personally went to the body and just asked the merchants under his name to go there.
After eating the meat, Liu Chang gently stroked his stomach.
The farming affairs were thrown to Zhang Cang, the commercial affairs were thrown to Chen Ping, and the memorials were thrown to Chao Cuo.
Now, he really has nothing to experience and do. What he has to arrange now is the candidate for Prime Minister Zhao. Can Yuan Ang take on such a responsibility?
Yuan Ang is a man with a straight personality, talent, courage and insight, and is not afraid of things. He is serious and has a tough head, and is somewhat similar to Shentu Jia. He can be regarded as a more educated Shentu Jia, and now he earns Jia Yi.
After going to Chang'an, Ruyi will definitely jump.
There were not many talented people in Zhao State, and when Jia Yi left again, there was no one left.
If you use Yuan Ang to exchange for Jia Yi, you will be considered as not treating Ruyi unfairly.
Anyway, there are so many minerals left over from him now, even if Jia Yi pays some interest!
Liu Chang thought so and asked someone to call Yuan Ang over.
Yuan Ang is currently in the inner court, mainly responsible for conveying the news of the memorials and supervising Chao Cuo to ensure that he will not mess around with the memorials. Although Chao Cuo is a radical who advocates the reduction of the vassal state, he dare not do this with the memorial. Even if
It is a memorial from the vassal states, and he also treats it fairly. This is very good. He can put down his thoughts in the face of major events.
Now Chao Cuo followed Shentu Jia on both sides of the river to migrate local people, determine the location for digging canals, build dams, set up flood discharge areas, etc. He has not returned yet, and most of the memorials were handled by the young young students of the Shangshu.
After summarizing it up, he informed Liu Chang about the important news and some things he was not sure about.
Yuan Ang has a great role in the inner court. If it weren't for the lack of help, Liu Chang really didn't want to throw him to Zhao State.
However, being prime ministers in the vassal states is the best way to temper a person. The prime ministers in the vassal states must be fully responsible for domestic affairs, make trade-offs between princes and kings, and maintain stability in the vassal states. Most people really do it
If you don’t come to this, when the Han Dynasty was just established, the prime ministers of various places were basically the largest princes of Che, and their names were bigger than the other. Even Cao Shen was sent to be prime ministers.
Nowadays, there are not many talents, so Liu Chang could not throw people like Cao Shen into a pretext. However, Yuan Ang is okay, he is quite capable.
"His Majesty."
Yuan Ang stood in front of Liu Chang with a cold face.
Liu Chang was not surprised that this guy has always been like this serious person.
"I am going to let you go to Zhao State to serve as Prime Minister...What do you think?"
Liu Chang asked directly.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Yuan Ang's eyes, and then he said, "Vei!"
Liu Chang laughed. He liked ministers like Yuan Ang. They looked like Confucianism, and their practices were more ruthless than Legalism. In another time, Yuan Ang served as the prime minister of Wu and promoted Wu.
The country's governance is quite good, how good is it? It's so good that the Wu Kingdom can launch a massive rebellion. If Zhou Yafu hadn't been strong, the rebellion would probably not have been resolved.
Yuan Ang was dismissed as a commoner for his contribution to the governance of Wu.
Chao Cuo, who had always been inconsistent with him, was preparing to write a letter to say that he colluded with the King of Wu to rebel. Yuan Ang was furious and immediately found the emperor with his relationship, and claimed that as long as Chao Cuo was killed, the rebellion would end. Chao Cuo
It is the culprit who provoked this rebellion.
Then, Chao Cuo was killed without knowing anything. As for Yuan Ang, he was finally assassinated for participating in the dispute over the crown prince.
Liu Chang's vision was still very vicious. Among the people in the court, Liu Chang could see at a glance that Yuan Ang had the ability to govern the country.
The main reason is his personality. He can persuade him to stay on top, be fooled, and dare to do things without being embarrassed. Such a person can definitely be a good prime minister.
"Okay, I don't tell you about the situation in Zhao State. You know that in these days, a large amount of minerals have appeared in Zhao State. It is said that there are so many, enough to revitalize Zhao State. I sent you to, just let you
Governing Zhao State at all costs will help you to surpass the other vassal states within five years... Jia Yi has laid a foundation for you. In the current Zhao State, everything is ready. After you pass, you will be able to show your skills.
It's..."
Yuan Ang listened carefully and didn't say anything.
"The Zhao State may not be able to swallow these minerals with its own ability. Anyway, you have to find a way to make the mine play the greatest role. In addition, King Zhao is a man, some kind of mother, who likes to do it.
Do you understand if you are stupid, you have to watch him and avoid him causing a disaster that I cannot forgive. Do you understand?"
"only!
”
"Do you have anything else to ask?"
Yuan Ang nodded and asked, "Can you ask for something from Your Majesty?"
"What do you want?"
"I want your Majesty's sword."
Liu Chang was shocked, "What do you want to wear a sword?"
"I am not from a high family, I have no status as a servant, nor a relative of the royal family, I have no qualifications and are young. I am the prime minister of Zhao State and have major events like minerals. There will definitely be many people who will not obey, as long as Your Majesty can give me the
I lent my sword to me, and I am willing to go to Zhao State to be prime minister."
Liu Chang laughed, "You are negotiating conditions with me? If I don't give it to you, you won't be willing to go, right?"
As Liu Chang said, he untied his sword and threw it to Yuan Ang.
"Take it, get out of Zhao State, and get the matter done for me!
”
"only!
only!
”
.........
Lu Lu frowned and looked helplessly at Cao Ku in front of him.
The two had no social relationship on weekdays, but as two major relatives of the Han Dynasty, their relationship was not considered unfamiliar.
"I heard you're busy with your family's affairs these days?"
Cao Ku asked with a smile.
“Didn’t we talk about this last night?”
This is Pingyang Hou Mansion, and Lu Lu was also a little puzzled. He has been busy dealing with his private affairs these days. Last night, it was because Liu An and others came back and went to attend the banquet. He was busy today, and suddenly someone took him.
Cao Ku's invitation came to his residence.
Although Lu Lu was very busy, he could not ignore the invitation of Pingyang Hou and still took some time to see him.
But after meeting, Cao Ku did not talk about the serious matters, but said this and then mentioned that, which made Lu Lu become more impatient.
"Mr. Cao, I have three fleets detained in Luoyang for investigation. I cannot come to Chang'an. They are covered with southern fruits and vegetables. If it delays time, it will not be used. I will send you.
Someone went to negotiate with officials in Luoyang to inquire, what's wrong with you?"
