Chapter 223: Giving Up People

Hearing what the two said, Liu Rong still showed great grief and said: "The relief of the second brother and the third brother Xie, the mother's matter, is still lonely."

After a long while, Liu Rong can be regarded as "calming" his mood.

Then, Liu Rong said: "Let the two younger brothers be surprised."

"Yesterday as a brother, just returned to Chang'an, my father told me that now that my mother is gone, only our three brothers remain, and we still have to be closer."

Hearing this, Liu De naturally saluted Liu Rong and his entourage: "Little brother thanked my brother for his concern."

And Liu Yan, who had a solemn face, had to say the same words as Liu De.

Subsequently, Liu Rong ordered the attendants to bring a meal and use it with the two.

Although Li Ji's mourning period has passed, in order to show respect for her mother, under Liu Rong's instructions, she still did not let the three cook meat, nor did she drink alcohol.

He just ordered someone to bring some porridge and side dishes, as well as seasonal fruits, for the three of them to eat.

After a simple meal, Liu Rong became concerned about how the two of them were in the vassal states.

At this time, the land of the Han family, the richest place, is the land of Guanzhong and Qilu.

Maybe it's because of Liu Rong, or maybe it's because Liu Qi has a very good impression of Liu De in the world, and he arranged Liu De in Zichuan Country in the land of Qilu.

And what is Liu De's favorite thing, of course, is Confucianism, since the beginning of the Warring States period, the land of Qilu is the most prosperous place for Confucianism. When he arrived in the Han Dynasty, it did not change, and since he arrived in Zichuan Kingdom, Liu De is like a fish in water, so unhappy.

Although it was only a few months, Liu De also wrote to Liu Rong several times.

From the letter, Liu Rong also saw that Liu Dewai Zichuan was having a good life.

And Liu Yan, this is not the case, where is Jiangduguo, Jiangduguo is Guangling County, one of the three counties of Liu Wei and Wu State.

However, after the Wu Chu rebellion, Guangling County was already full of holes, the population withered, there were very few light and strong men in the country, and there was no longer the rich scenery under Liu Bi's rule, and Liu Yan's palace had been built for more than half a year, and a few houses and pavilions had not yet been built.

Hearing Liu De and Liu Rong talking wildly, Liu Yan was even more jealous.

At this time, there was only one thought in my heart, why could Liu De, a nerd, be crowned king in the land of Qilu, and he could only go to the ruined Jiangdu country.

It seems that when he came to Chang'an this time, Liu Yan became an angry bag.................................

When the two left, Liu Rong gave the two of them a generous gift - two cars full of white paper.

For the literati of this era before the Common Era, blank paper was one of the things that had a fatal allure for them.

At the beginning, when Liu Rong took the business of white paper under his own door, when the white paper could be mass-produced, he prepared some and sent it to Zichuan Country and handed it over to Liu De.

Liu De naturally treats it as a treasure, and on weekdays, he hides it deep in the palace and reluctantly takes it out to use it.

Now seeing a truckload of blank paper in front of him, Liu De is naturally overjoyed.

And Liu Yan, who was standing on one side, was also shocked, since the advent of white paper, the price has been long and long, and the price of white paper in Jiangdu is more expensive than the same volume of Shu brocade.

People from ordinary families don't even have the opportunity to see each other.

But I didn't want to, today, this Liu Rong, who has never dealt with him, would be so generous and give himself a car of blank paper.

"Brother Huang, this is really for the younger brother", Liu De said happily.

"Naturally", Liu Rong said indifferently.

To be honest, for Liu Rong, these two cars of blank paper are almost worthless.

Because the technology of papermaking is completely in the hands of Liu Rong, as much white paper as you want, you can make it.

However, the price of white paper circulating in the world is so expensive, it is because Liu Rong, who has the soul of modern people, understands an immutable truth, the relationship between supply and demand determines the price of goods.

When supply exceeds demand, the price of goods will fall again and again, but if it is another situation and supply exceeds demand, then it is a different matter.

In the 19th century, aluminium was a rare and precious metal, known as the "silver gold", more precious than gold.

The Emperor of the Second French Republic, Napoleon's nephew, in order to show the dignity of his status, ordered officials to make themselves a crown more precious than gold - the aluminum crown. He put on the aluminum crown and accepted the worship of the hundred officials with great vigour, which was also sensational news.

Because it was very difficult to smelt aluminium at that time, the price of aluminium was much more expensive than gold. Even in the chemical world, aluminum is considered the most valuable. In recognition of Mendeleev's outstanding contribution to chemistry, the Royal Society of England once spared no expense to make an aluminum cup and presented it to Mendeleev.

However, after the advent of electricity, people invented the manufacturing method of electrolytic aluminum, and the price of aluminum plummeted, and finally reached the price of cabbage on the bad street.

Of course, Liu Rong naturally also considered popularizing the technology of papermaking to the entire Han family, but considering that if he rashly popularized papermaking, it may not be the people who will benefit, but the businessmen.

In this way, Liu Rong is determined not to easily spread the papermaking technique before there is no perfect solution.

After that, Liu De and Liu Yan left from the palace with a cart full of paper.

The princes and kings are not allowed to stay in Chang'an City for a long time, except for Liu Wu, the king of Liang......

Within a few days, without waiting for his father to speak, Liu De and Liu Yan went to the palace to bid farewell to their father, and said that they would return to the country.

In this way, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally would not stop it, but just said that if there is something undecided in the country, he should discuss it with the minister of the country.

When he was crowned king, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, naturally wanted to arrange the princes and kingdoms by the way.

The minister of the vassal state is also an official with a rank of 2,000 stones, and he has to assist the princes and kings in governing the feudal country, and all of them are naturally the confidants of the Son of Heaven.

In this way, if any prince and king has any wrong thoughts, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, can know it at the first time.

…………………………………………………………………………

On this day, outside Chang'an City, it was raining, and an attendant was holding an umbrella behind Liu Rong, and Liu Rong said to Liu De and Liu Yan who were standing next to the frame: "The two younger brothers are traveling far away, and they can't be sent far away for the elder brother."

"The royal brother can come here to send him off, and the younger brother has already thanked the imperial brother for his kindness."

After finishing speaking, the two of them got into the car and drove away, until they couldn't see the car of the two, Liu Rong turned around, drove in the car, and went back to the palace.

Just arrived in the painting hall, and before the buttocks were hot, Wang Sheng came forward to arrive: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the housekeeper personally selected by His Majesty for you has arrived outside the palace in Zhang Shaofu at this time, does His Highness want to see it?"

Saying that, Wang Sheng handed a scroll of bamboo slips to Liu Rong's hand, and said: "This is the list and resume of these housekeepers that the prince ordered the slaves and maids to forward to His Highness, and please take a look at it, the prince said: If Your Highness is not satisfied with the candidate of the housekeeper, you can change it at any time!" ”。

I took the bamboo slips handed over by Wang Sheng, opened them and read them, the origins, ages, etc. of these people are all available, and the records are clear.

The official of the crown prince was the beginning of the Qin Dynasty. The Han family also has this official, with a rank of 200 stones, which is to select the descendants of the good family to serve, and take turns to stay in the guard, like Langzhong.

There are no posts, and the guards take turns, such as the three departments of Langzhong. In the Western Han Dynasty, he was subordinate to the prince and the young master, while the Eastern Han Dynasty was under the prince and the young master. When the crown prince was on the throne, he was subordinate to the Shaofu.

Solidly, these housekeepers are not necessarily elected by Liu Rong's father now, or they may have been selected a long time ago, as long as the prince is on the throne, the housekeepers can go to the palace to report.

After a cursory glance at the resumes of these people, Liu Rong found that the origins of these people are really varied, and they do everything.

However, one thing is unified, they are all from innocent families, not to mention people in the family, even if their ancestors are several generations, there has never been a person who has committed adultery.

Although the prince is only an official with a rank of two hundred stones, which cannot be compared with the prince Jiuyi, it is equivalent to the talent pool arranged by the Son of Heaven beside the prince.

If the prince deems it appropriate, he may choose him to be the rest of the officials.

And the prince is a servant of the prince's palace, and after the prince succeeds to the throne, he also has the opportunity to be promoted and become a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones.

Others Liu Rong didn't know that Zhou Ren, who had just taken over the position of his teacher Jia Yi and became Lang Zhongling, was promoted step by step by Liu Qi from the sheren in the imperial womb.

When he was in the imperial palace, Liu Rong had seen this person, and he was selected as a sacrifice person, and he was selected because he was proficient in medical skills.

The biggest advantage of this person is that he is strict-mouthed, no matter what he does, he does not speak easily, and he never judges anyone......

Solidly, he can be elected by the Son of Heaven, and as a person who is the crown prince, none of them are simple goods.

After putting the slip in his hand on the bookcase in front of him, Liu Rong said: "Please Zhang Shaofu and all the people come in!" ”。

"No!" , a salute, Wang Sheng immediately left the palace.

Not long after, Zhang Gong, the commander of the Shaofu, led twenty officials of different ages and different statures to slowly walk into the studio hall, bowed to Liu Rongxing and said: "The minister will be the Zhang Gong of the Shaofu, and he will be sent to the palace by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and ask His Royal Highness to receive the ......."

After speaking, he took out a silk cloth official document stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven from his arms and presented it to Liu Rong.

And Liu Rong ordered Wang Sheng to take his own seal and stamp it under his father's seal, as soon as the seal was covered, the handover ceremony was completed, and Zhang Gong completed his mission to the palace this time.

When even a group of salutes and said to Liu Rong: "In this way, the minister will retire ............ first."

Liu Rong even got up in person and sent Zhang Gong to the door of the painting hall.

And Zhang Gong said again: "I am tired of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the ministers should not be sent by His Royal Highness the Prince."

When Liu Rong turned around and returned to the hall, above this hall, there were only a dozen princes left.

…………………………………………………………………………

Then, Liu Rong said: "This is the first time I have seen Gu and Zhu Qing, I don't know what Zhu Qing's name is, can Qing and others introduce themselves to Gu."

Although Liu Rong looked at their resumes, there were no photos on their resumes at this time, so it was naturally difficult to distinguish who was who, if it was wrong, it would be too embarrassing.

Because of this, Liu Rong ordered them to introduce themselves first.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, these people can only obey it.

After a long time, a man walked to the hall, knelt on the ground and bowed and said, "The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince."

After finishing speaking, he said: "The minister's name is Feng Jie, he is a native of Beiping County, and he was recommended by Yang Gong, who was too shou of Beiping, and entered the Shaofu as a small official. It is also a blessing for His Majesty not to give up, to be able to give up people and serve His Royal Highness.

If His Highness does not abandon him, the minister will serve His Highness to death."

Hearing this, Liu Rong smiled and said secretly: This person is really not simple, he is a slippery head, and he can show his loyalty when he meets.
