After coming out of the Hanzhong Palace, Liu Chan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The body of this cheap dad like me is indeed getting worse day by day.
The old man's speed far exceeded Liu Chan's expectations.
Secondly, Liu Bei did not have much desire for power. Perhaps in his heart, compared with power, it was not as important as supporting the Han Dynasty. This was his long-cherished wish in life.
However, Liu Chan was still wary.
How many fathers and sons have finally fallen for the word power?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi.
Even the emperor, no matter how talented or strategic he was, could not bear to have his power divided by others.
This is also the reason why Liu Chan repeatedly rejected Liu Bei.
As a prince, you must clearly know your identity. Although Liu Chan's current position is as stable as Mount Tai, if Liu Bei really doesn't like him, he can't be replaced.
certainly
If Liu Bei wanted to replace him, the price would be too high. Not to mention restoring the Han Dynasty, even preserving the current territory of Han China would be extremely difficult.
Fortunately
His worries were unfounded.
If Liu Bei delegates power, he can flex his muscles.
Returning to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Chan looked at the empty backyard, and Liu Chan missed the beauties in the mansion.
After arriving in Chengdu, Guan Yinping became reserved. Except for coming here every day, he would never stay overnight in the Prince's Mansion. As for Zhang Peilan, she was even more shy.
I haven't hung out in front of Liu Chan these days.
On the other hand, the pretty little lolita Zhang Peiyu often comes to the Prince's Mansion.
But what’s the point of a movie about a little girl with no hair on her head?
Hey~
Bitter!
As for the reason, Liu Chan also knew it in his heart.
Under the urging of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the wedding date will probably be decided soon.
The woman needs to prepare a lot of things.
Especially a beautiful bridal gown is indispensable.
These must be prepared in advance.
For Zhang Peilan, this was not bad, but for Guan Yinping, it hit her knowledge blind spot.
Fortunately, when she was in Jingzhou, she learned female red from Zhen Mi and Sun Luyu, otherwise she would have been scratching her head at this moment.
certainly
Even if he is a female celebrity, he is not proficient in it, so Guan Yinping has not been with Liu Chan these days, so he has been preparing for these things.
It made Liu Chan very lonely.
In a few days, when Zhen Mi and the others arrive, things may feel better.
Now, for the excess energy that has not been vented, it can only be vented on official duties.
Fengshang, Nanzhong, Nongshu.
He started to prepare for everything.
The next morning.
Before dawn, Liu Chan had already gotten up.
It was October and the morning was very cold.
The rows of ice hooks on the eaves show how freezing the cold is.
After a simple breakfast, Liu Chan went to the lobby of the Prince's Mansion.
Liu Chan got up early, but there were others who got up earlier than him.
A group of officials from the Prince's Mansion had already arrived early.
For example, Fei Yi and Dong Yun are tough men.
"Your Highness, this is the list sent by the Chancellor last night."
List?
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, and then took a large pile of thick books handed over by Fei Yi.
Opening it up, it turned out that they were all government affairs.
Appointment and dismissal of officials, farming, military affairs
All in it.
It seems that his cheap dad summoned him yesterday and asked him to come to supervise the country, not just on a whim, but because he had already considered it carefully.
Otherwise, the documents from the Chancellor's Desk would not be sent to the Prince's Mansion.
"It seems that I've been very busy these days."
As long as Liu Chan has a thorough understanding of these lists and the major and minor matters of Han China, he will have an understanding of the general situation of Han China.
"Just leave these matters to your subordinates. The princes are already waiting for His Highness at the palace to take charge of all affairs in Han Dynasty."
Although Liu Chan now has the actual ability to supervise the country, the place where state affairs are handled must be in the Hanzhong Palace, not the Prince's Palace.
"Then let's go to the palace."
Liu Chan did not delay, got on the carriage of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong, and headed towards the palace.
But it’s actually only two steps.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Chan arrived at the chancery in the palace.
The Hanzhong Palace was originally used as a royal palace and occupied a large area. The palace was not only the place where the King of Hanzhong and his wife and concubines lived, but also where all the important institutions in the kingdom gathered.
Like the Chancellor's Desk, it's among them.
Outside the lobby of Shangshutai.
A group of officials were waiting for Liu Chan outside the hall early.
When they saw Liu Chan coming over, they all flicked the snow on their bodies, bowed to Liu Chan, and said, "I'm waiting, I'd like to pay my respects to His Highness."
"You don't need to be polite. On a snowy day, I asked you to wait here. I can't bear it, so come and invite me."
Liu Chan stepped forward and held Fa Zheng. Xu Jing, Wu Yi and others helped him up one by one. The others naturally stood up slowly.
"Hot soup has been prepared in the prince's residence. Please drink a bowl of hot soup to warm yourself up before going back to your official duties."
As he said that, a group of servants from the Prince's Palace brought down buckets of hot soup and scooped it into large red lacquered bowls.
When winter comes, it’s time to take supplements.
Liu Chan's buckets of hot soup are radish and mutton chop soup.
Fresh lamb chops are stewed over high heat. There is no need to add too many seasonings to the stew. Just stew it plainly. Add white radish, finally add some wolfberry and enough time, and you can stew radish stewed lamb chops with rich aroma, fresh meat and tender radish.
Everyone held a bowl of hot soup in their hands, and when they drank it, they felt warm in their stomachs.
When the body is warm, the hearts of the ministers and princes at the Chancellery are also warm.
"I'll wait. Thank you, Your Highness, for the soup."
Just a bowl of hot soup made these ministers' impression of Liu Chan better.
A king who cares about his subjects is a good king!
Liu Chan started with the details and won some people's hearts.
Grace grace.
Favor is sometimes not reflected in big awards. Small favors in daily life can sometimes have a more satisfying effect.
Drink a bowl of hot soup.
Everyone also returned to the lobby.
Liu Chan sat on the main seat and looked at the ministers taking the second place.
He smiled and said: "Before, I took the post of staying in Chengdu, came to Shangshutai, and dealt with Yizhou affairs. Now my father has put the heavy responsibility of Han China on my shoulders. I feel the heavy responsibility on my shoulders, so I need to All the princes work together to govern Han China well."
Everyone immediately said: "Your Highness is so powerful, we will naturally do our best to assist His Highness."
"good!"
Liu Chan nodded and said: "If you all work together, why worry about our Han Dynasty not being prosperous? Why worry about not being able to regain the lost territory of our Han Dynasty? Eradicate the traitors like Cao Pi and Sun Quan."
After sitting down, Liu Chan's eyes flickered and he asked, "I wonder if there are any important matters to be dealt with in Taichung, the Minister of Public Affairs."
Liu Chan just asked.
In fact, he already knew that important matter.
Shangshu ordered Fa Zheng to come out immediately. He held a tablet in his hand and said: "Your Highness, there are three most important things now. The first is to reward people for their merits. The reward has not been decided yet. The second is that there is no program for Yizhou's farming affairs. If necessary, His Highness should send people to write agricultural books to guide the people in farming. Third, the affairs of the four counties in Nanzhong should be dealt with."
These three things are indeed relatively important things.
First of all, this reward based on merit has been delayed for several months.
If the reward is not continued, I am afraid there will be discussion among the army.
Originally, Liu Chan thought that Liu Bei would make arrangements, but he didn't want to leave it to him, so he left it to him.
Giving rewards and rewards is also a kind of kindness. Liu Bei left this matter in his hands to win over people's hearts.
certainly
Only when it is handled well can people win over people. If it is not handled well, it will offend people.
Secondly, Yizhou farming requires books to guide people in farming.
Only old farmers know when to plant what and when to do what.
But like those immigrants from South China, they don’t know!
Compiling agricultural books can guide their farming work.
From ancient times to the later Han Dynasty, the two most widely circulated agricultural books were "The Book of Si Sheng" and "The Monthly Order of the Four People". However, these two books only wrote about the agricultural development in the Yellow River Basin and did not cover the Yangtze River Basin and Sichuan Basin. Full reference.
For Yizhou, it is still necessary to compile a new agricultural book.
As for the affairs of the last four counties of Nanzhong.
That is to develop the four counties of Nanzhong.
Liu Chan previously captured the four counties of Nanzhong, and only sent officials to stabilize the situation, and then let Deng Ai go to farm.
But in addition to farming, there are many areas in the four counties of Nanzhong that are worthy of development.
The first is the racecourse.
Horses were already raised in Xichang during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Western Han Dynasty, "箮马" (horses from Yanyuan) were traded in the inland markets. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianchang horses were well-known in the Central Plains, and there were horse farms, namely Changli, Gaowang, and Shichang.
If the Nanzhong Racecourse can be restored, it will be of great help to enhance the national power of Han China.
The second is minerals.
In the barbarian land of Nanzhong, being mountainous is a disadvantage, but it is also an advantage when it comes to minerals.
For example, there are a large number of copper mines in Qiongdu, Qiaojia and other places, which can alleviate the copper shortage in Sichuan.
There is also the benefit of salt and iron. Salt wells are not only found in Yizhou County, but also in Nanzhong.
If it can be fully developed, it will undoubtedly be open source to Han China.
Third, after successfully managing the four counties of Nanzhong, Han China's power can continue to develop towards the south.
Open the Yak Road, do business with the barbarians along the way, and subtly infiltrate the barbarians. If they don't obey, send troops to fight against them. You can also use the merchant alliance to quickly move Shu brocade, colored glaze, beautiful porcelain, perfume, tea, etc. through the Southwest Silk Road The road sells drugs to the body, earns a lot of foreign exchange, and enriches the national strength.
You can also plan the southeast in advance, understand external news in advance, and prepare for the future.
certainly
Fazheng prioritized the affairs of South China and Central Asia as the three most important things. Naturally, he saw the first two points but not the third.
And Liu Chan just took a fancy to this third point!
"Doesn't the Chancellor's Office have regulations on the matter of awarding awards?"
There was quite a bit of displeasure in Liu Chan's words.
After all, the military has already distributed the merits of all the meritorious officials. You, the minister, are just giving rewards based on their merits. Can't you reward them?
"The soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles, and we cannot let them feel cold."
Lingfa Zheng, the minister in charge of this matter, stepped forward quickly and said: "Most of the rewards have been determined, but the number of rewards is too huge, and it is difficult for the country's materials to be operated for a while."
There are many meritorious services, but the rewards from behind are not enough.
When Liu Bei conquered Yizhou, how did he reward the heroes?
He directly opened the treasury and condoned looting.
Of course, you can't do this now.
"Is the domestic treasury so exhausted?"
Fazheng smiled bitterly and said: "The Battle of Hanzhong has already overdrawn the power of the people of Yizhou. In the past year, even if I have been recuperating, I have only made up some of the losses. To give so many things at once as a reward, Guozhong Mansion Insufficient storage.”
Yizhou only has so many people and so many family assets.
I really can’t come up with anything for the reward.
Liu Chan thought for a moment and said, "Who is the one who has received the most rewards?"
Fa Zheng immediately stepped forward and said, "It is His Highness."
"I?"
Liu Chan was stunned.
But soon I understood.
He leads well and has the greatest credit, and no one dares to say a word "no".
"Then take away my reward."
"Those who have meritorious service must be rewarded, and those who are guilty must be punished. Your Highness is cutting off your own rewards. Isn't that corrupting the system? Those military generals who have made meritorious deeds see that His Highness has not taken any of his rewards. How dare they take them? Your Highness, please take back your orders!"
Xu Jing held the wat board in his hand and stepped forward immediately.
After listening to Xu Jing's words, Liu Chan also knew that he was Meng Lang.
"This year there have been frequent wars, and Yizhou's treasury is very poor. This is especially true in Runan. In Jingzhou, there is not much available at the same time."
Liu Chan's eyes flickered and he said: "Since the wealth is not enough for the time being, some of the wealth will be exchanged for land as a reward."
Now, Liu Chan has to play with 'land finance'.
If money is not enough, land is needed to make up for it.
It just so happens that both Jingzhou and Yizhou have a large number of people but a small amount of land, so the land can be given as a reward.
And precisely, people in this era are still obsessed with land. If this policy continues, they will not have any resentment in their hearts.
On the contrary, it achieved a calming effect.
After listening to Liu Chan's words, Fazheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Highness, this plan is a good way to kill two birds with one stone!"
Fazheng immediately knew the benefits of Liu Chan's policy.
With land as a reward, the soldiers will not feel resentful.
At the same time, the original problem of some land being cultivated by no one can now be solved.
but
Wu Yi's brows furrowed. He held the wat tablet in his hand and stepped forward and said, "It's just a reward for the land. No one will cultivate it, but it's still useless."
The land has been rewarded, but no one is cultivating it and cannot provide tax revenue or food for the country. What is the use of continuing to reward it?
It's just that the reward issue has been resolved.
Even because rewards are given to meritorious ministers, the land will not be damaged much, and the location is definitely the best, but this will cause problems.
If good land is left uncultivated, isn’t this a waste of resources?
"The worries of the guards are not unreasonable. However, we can capture slaves and sell them to those soldiers who have no one to cultivate the land, so that they can cultivate the land as slaves."
Those who serve as soldiers want to buy slaves, and the money and silk they receive from the reward can be taken back immediately.
An economic cycle came directly.
But Wu Yi's brows were still frowning.
There were indeed many slaves in Yizhou.
but
Even if a large amount of land is given as a reward, this slave is not enough!
"If a large amount of land is granted as a reward, only a few thousand slaves will be rewarded. I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Liu Chan laughed and said: "In a barbarian land, will there be fewer barbarians? In a foreign country, there will be no shortage of people!"
If there is no demand, create demand!
Rather than shaving the minions of the Han nation clean and making them obedient and only able to talk and condemn, they always think peace is the most important thing.
Liu Chan wants to make him eat meat and drink blood. If you don't obey, you will be beaten until you obey!
No one is cultivating the land?
Go capture people as slaves to farm.
Do you feel like you have no future and your life is down and out?
A foreign country full of opportunities!
If this policy continues, after Liu Chan arrives in Badi in the spring, his work will be better carried out.
hey-hey.
Dare the Ba people disobey?
Catch you all and let me, a good Chinese man, farm the fields!
