Liu Bang sat on the top seat with a solemn expression, and at this moment, he was more like the ruler of an empire than before.

The princes and kings and the royal relatives of the clan sat on his left side, from Liu Ying, Liu Jiao, Liu Jia, Liu Fei, Liu Ruyi, to Zhang Ao, Liu Xi, Fan Xu, Lu Shizhi and so on.

Well, it seems to be something mixed in there?

That's right, mixed in with a Fan Xu, Fan Xu is the brother-in-law of Empress Lu, and Liu Bang is also a relative.

You ask Liu Ruyi? Oh, he is the king of Zhao, although he is only in name and has not yet gone to his fiefdom, but he is indeed the king of Zhao.

And those founding heroes sat on the right side, headed by Xiao He, and after the end of the worship, Liu Bang brought them all together for this alternative court meeting.

"Chen Feng said that he was about to die, rotten from the waist down, and he couldn't come!"

As soon as Liu Bang opened his mouth like this, several ministers below almost laughed, but the Emperor Taishang had just died, they couldn't laugh, and it was a felony to laugh at this moment. Liu Bang didn't laugh either, he said very seriously: "I see, he, the minister of state, has to be done by someone else, so let Zhou Chang take the role." ”

Originally, Liu Bang named Liu Ruyi as the king of Zhao, and Zhou Chang as the prime minister of Zhao, and let Chen Feng manage the land. But Zhao Guo has no king, because Liu Ruyi is young and has not yet reached the age of leaving the palace.

Chen Feng is a veteran under Liu Bang, in the second year of Qin II, he joined Liu Bang's rebel army, in the first year of Prince Qin, he was given the title of marquis because of his military merits, his title is real, because the people who were with him were Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, Xiahou Ying, Jin She, Zhou Wei.

Even if he doesn't know this name, after seeing these names juxtaposed with him, he knows what kind of person this guy is, this person is definitely the first batch of fierce men in the founding of the country, and he may not be as good as Han Xin's ceiling, but he is definitely first-class.

It is worth mentioning that this Chen Feng was Han Xin's general for a long time, and he followed Han Xin to participate in many battles.

When it came to Chen Xuan, the princes didn't feel anything, but the ministers looked different. The princes didn't know that Zhou Chang was a very upright and strong person, and he had gone to Zhao to see Chen Xuan's carriage, and Chen Xuan's entourage had more than 1,000 cars, and the guests could fill all the official residences in Handan.

Chen Feng treats guests in the same way as ordinary people, and treats people with humility and deigcency every time.

After Zhou Chang saw this scene, he returned to Beijing and told Liu Bang: There is a change in the land!

Liu Bang ordered several ministers to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Daidi, and found that Chen Xuan's guests had many violations of law and discipline, many of which implicated Chen Xuan. However, Liu Bang did not elevate the behavior of the guests to the host, and did not pursue it further, but just wrote to Chen Feng and asked him to take good care of his guests.

Therefore, hearing that Chen Feng was reluctant to come over, the expressions of these uninformed princes and the ministers who knew were completely different.

"King Liang, King Huainan also went to the book, King Liang said that he was busy dealing with the thieves blocking the road in the territory, and King Huainan said that he was sick...."

"I really don't understand, at the beginning, Qin II acted perversely, and the people of the world had to be reduced to thieves, blocking the road and robbing, but now, why are there still thieves everywhere?"

"And those generals who were able to rush ten times back and forth in the enemy line when they were young, how come they are so easy to get sick when they are old?"

As soon as Liu Bang said this, the princes were thoughtful, and the ministers lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, today's thieves are no longer the thieves they used to be, now Your Majesty is benevolent, the people are rich, the thieves eat well, and the weapons they use are good, so they are naturally more powerful than ever." , the person who said this was Liu Jiao, of course, he was the only one who could say such a "rebellious" thing in front of Liu Bang.

This time, Liu Bang almost burst out laughing.

He pointed at Liu Jiao and scolded helplessly: "You, you, you are really stupid to learn from those Confucian students!" ”

With Liu Jiao's interruption, Liu Bang skipped the matter of the princes for the time being, in fact, there was another prince king who did not come, Lu Juan, the king of Yan.

Liang Wang Peng Yue, together with Han Xin and Yingbu, is known as the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty, and he is also a player at the ceiling level, and he can play with Xiang Yu back and forth, but he is a half-way monk, and Liu Bang is more like a dependent relationship, he is not the kind of Chen Feng who followed Liu Bang very early.

He was also a "prince all the way", self-unified, participated in the war to destroy Qin, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting, he resolutely stood on Liu Bang's side, because of his military exploits, he was named King of Liang after the destruction of Chu.

Huainan Wang Yingbu, together with Peng Yue and Han Xin, is known as the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty, well, the record is not bad, if Peng Yue is self-contained, then Yingbu simply defected. He was originally a general under Xiang Yu, who played a huge role in the war to destroy Qin, and was named the king of Jiujiang by Xiang Yu.

In the Chu-Han War, after Liu Bang's deception, he betrayed the state of Chu and threw himself to Liu Bang, and after destroying Chu, Liu Bang named him the king of Huainan.

These two people are not too close to Liu Bang, but Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, is different. Lu Juan and Liu Bang were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, playing from childhood to adulthood, wearing a pair of pants, is a dead friend who belongs to the kind of dead party, Lu Juan has followed Liu Bang since he was a child, closer than his own brother, he can go in and out of the palace at will, see Liu Bang's family, and call Liu Chang and others as Jews.

This time Lu Juan didn't come, but this was not his problem, it was Liu Bang's problem, Liu Bang specially wrote a letter to him, asking him not to come, and asking him to be ready and ready. He is the only one who can be told about such a secret thing, and it can be seen that he is the only person Liu Bang trusts, and Liu Jiao and Liu Fei don't know about it....

Liu Bang no longer talked about the affairs of those princes, he glanced at Xiao He and motioned for Xiao He to speak.

Xiao He stood up and said seriously: "A few kings may not know that just last month, Gongzi Chang made a new spinning wheel, this spinning wheel is different from the previous spinning wheel, the efficiency is extremely high, I have roughly calculated, the efficiency of this spinning wheel is eight times that of the previous spinning wheel. ”

Xiao He said, looking at the eunuch in the distance, and soon, a close attendant stepped forward and put a few rough design drawings in front of Liu Jiao and Liu Jia. Xiao He then continued: "I have ordered Shaofu to let them manufacture such machines on a large scale, and I am ready to use the subordinates to operate these machines and weave cloth with all my might..."

"In addition, I have sent the design drawings to the local government, ordered the local manufacturing of spinning wheels, and lent them to the people, so that the spinning wheels can replace the original spinning wheels, and be fully promoted in the Han Dynasty, and within four years, the people in the Han Dynasty should be widely used in the spinning wheels, and the people should be encouraged to plant mulberry and raise silkworms..."

"It is necessary to gradually ban the transaction of cloth as currency..."

Liu Bang's first reaction after seeing the spinning wheel was to brag to everyone, this is the most unsuccessful little doll in my family, how about it? The second reaction was to give it to Xiao He and let him make the best use of it and play the greatest role.

Xiao He did not disappoint Liu Bang, for the spinning wheel, he has four directions, official mass production, promotion among the people, encouragement of raw materials, and finally market circulation.

After all, cloth in this era is equivalent to money, and if the people could print money on a large scale... Well, think about what the consequences will be, although the cloth itself is also valuable, it will still cause chaos in the market, so it seems that Xiao He is still very thoughtful.

After talking about the general direction, Xiao He gradually talked about the specific implementation methods.

"I hope that after the kings go back, they can learn a little from my methods and implement them in the country..."

Xiao He said it very politely, in fact, he asked them to follow their own practice and implement it in China as soon as possible. Although Liu Jiao, Liu Jia, and Liu Fei are all princes and kings with real power, they did not dare to disobey the suggestion of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and they politely got up to thank them, and even Liu Ruyi, a small miscellaneous fish, also got up to return the salute.

Participating in such a big event made Liu Ruyi feel very proud, endured the smirk on his face, and warned himself again and again, Liu Ruyi! You're still mourning! Can't laugh! His expression makes him look simple, just like Liu.

Liu Bang talked to them about the affairs in their fiefdom again, mainly asking about the situation in their territory, military strength, and so on.

Liu Ruyi naturally had no chance to interject, he had never been to the fiefdom at all, so he honestly listened to his uncles and brothers answer his father's questions. He listened very carefully, after all, this was his first time participating in government affairs, and likewise, it was also the capital that he could brag about in the Tianlu Pavilion later.
