Chapter 0863 - Self-Defeating Man

"You have also done what was given to you before?" , The Son of Heaven's question interrupted Yuan Shang's contemplation, Yuan Shang hurriedly raised his head, hurriedly took out some documents, put them in front of the Son of Heaven, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, everything is done, the embroidered messenger probes, Zhong Changtong and Shang Shuling have never talked, and there has never been a correspondence exchange, these two letters were written by Zhong Changtong to Shang Shuling, but the letters are all about Zhang Ye, and there is no other content. ”

"In addition, Shang Shuling has rarely gone out in the past few months, and called his sons back, according to our secret agents, they seem to be writing a book, and there is only one manuscript, Shang Shuling values it very much, so he can't take it to watch, and he doesn't know the content...", Yuan Shang said seriously, and added: "Among them, only Shi Zhongling has visited him, and it is said that it is because of the promotion of Zhong Changtong." ”

Liu Xi nodded slowly, and then said: "You continue to send people to keep an eye on Shang Shuling, and in addition, Zhong Changtong's side, also send more people to see who he is talking to..."

"Respectfully!" , Yuan Shang bowed and walked out of the Hall of Houde.

After Yuan Shang left, Liu Xi's face became gloomy again, was the embroidered messenger also deceiving me? There is no connection between the two? So why did Xun Yu promote Zhong Changtong? At such a juncture, how did he know the tendencies of Nakacho in Juntian?

"Father!!" , Suddenly there was a shout, Hu'er ran in happily, ran to Liu Xi's face, grinned, and then pretended to bow to him, Liu Xi's face improved, smiled, and asked, "What's the matter, come to me again to ask for money?" ”

"How could it be, I just missed my father too much, so I came to see my father..."

"Oh...", Liu Xi smiled and wiped the mud on Hu'er's face, "You guy, you can't make up nonsense... I only met you yesterday, and after only one day, you want to die? As the eldest son of the emperor, look at you, the dolphin is just rolling in the mud, where do you look like the eldest son of the emperor. Liu Xi said, but Hu'er was not afraid, grinned, and then said: "Father, I saw a particularly beautiful book in the bookstore..."

"Honestly!!"

"I want to buy a crossbow."

"What are you buying a crossbow for?"

"I want to go hunting... By the way, my father should not tell my mother, she must not allow it, Shijun is busy admitting students these days, and gave me a few days off, I just want to go hunting, get some delicious food, and honor my parents...", Hu'er said aggrievedly.

"If you have time, go to the middle stage, bring something, visit the elders there, don't always think about playing...", Liu Xi frowned, and Hu'er said with some displeasure: "Father, I don't know them, what am I going to do to visit them... By the time I became emperor, they would have died long ago.."

"You guy..", Liu Xi scolded, about to get up, Hu'er was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back, but he was still grabbed by Liu Xi's arm and dragged to the front, Liu Xi said solemnly: "In front of others, don't talk nonsense, Hu'er, you are not a child of an ordinary family, in Shijun, you must study hard, in front of others, you must maintain your prestige, you can't say rude words, you can't do things that damage your majesty..."

"Father, I just want to play... I don't care what other people do..."

"Hu'er, listen to me...", Liu Xi said, his expression gradually became lonely, and said: "Born with the emperor's family, you were born to bear a lot... This is your responsibility, there is no way to do it, you will understand in the future, listen to me, visit those elders more, speak more respectfully, kindly, and don't say what is in your heart to anyone..."

"What about Father?"

"The best, for me."

"Okay...", Hu'er didn't understand Father's words at all, just lowered his head, a little sad because he couldn't play, Liu Xi smiled, took out some money credentials from his sleeve, and stuffed them into his hand, "Take it, when you play, pay attention to safety.." Don't get too obsessed, and besides, grab some of the elders' children and go hunting together..."

"Thank you, Father!" , Hu'er screamed happily and kissed Liu Xi's face, and then left the Houde Hall in a hurry, Liu Xi saw the prince leave, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Hu'er has a resolute personality and courage, but he is not mature enough, but he is still young, and when he grows up, maybe it will be better, Liu Xi thought in his heart, and sat in the Houde Hall for a while, only to feel upset, so he went to the harem to find the palace to talk.

And in the next, Luoyang was still immersed in a different kind of calm, there were more and more officials in the order, and everyone understood that the compilation of the new law had reached the end, of course, except for the nongsang, most of the laws in the rest of the fields had been completed, but in the nongsang, no one dared to speak, and Zhuge Liang never mentioned it.

There were suddenly a lot of strange faces in the Xuxian Academy, these people were good at talking, welcoming guests, and soon, they became familiar with the people who came and went, the Xuxian Academy officially expanded outward, along the way, there was not even any big resistance, I heard that it was Sun Ce who came forward to move around for his brother-in-law, these people did not dare to be embarrassed, in just a few months, there were thirteen Xuxian Courtyards in the Sili area, and Liu Chan also became famous.

However, this reputation is not a good reputation, everyone eats, drinks and has fun in his Xuxian Academy, but they still have to scold him a few words, as a clan, the son of Sikong, he actually this cheap business, it is really a loss of his father's reputation, the people in the Xuxian Courtyard heard their words, and they would not care, they still warmly entertained them, and many people were also willing to pull their friends and chat in the Xuxian Academy.

Zhong Changtong was also silent for a while, after he was transferred to the household, he brought Yang Lian to the household, after taking office, he was immersed in investigating the household registration situation in various places, as well as the assets owned by the household registration, the errands he was engaged in, etc., he actually wanted to investigate and classify the household registration of the world, and conduct a more detailed investigation, he seemed to be following the example of the former Shang Ying, and formulating a stricter identity certificate for the people of the world.

The words that insulted him in Luoyang stopped, after all, he didn't mention any more business, but was busy with the matter of household registration, this thing is good, no matter what era the household registration is investigated, no one will dissuade him, and no one will stare at him to reprimand.

Ma Jun in the Gongfu, in this year, completed an important research and development, he improved the blast furnace iron smelting method, played the Son of Heaven, asked to implement the world, Liu Xi was naturally very happy, in the region, Ning, You and other mineral-rich areas, the temple forcibly carried out the implementation of the blast furnace iron smelting method, in these areas, the blast furnace was erected one by one, the flame burned, the smoke was billowing, and the iron was more and more.

Iron tools are also in the folk comprehensive replacement of wooden tools, from daily necessities, to agriculture and other fields, iron shows a trend of comprehensive coverage, overseas government still to the Han treasury to send a large amount of gold, money, materials, the people are more and more wealthy, there are a large number of handmade products, the treasury is rich and full, gold piles up into mountains, the hoarding of grain has reached a pole, enough for the world for 30 years.

The Han Dynasty came to an unprecedented era, the governance of the three generations of Ming Jun of the Han Dynasty was finally reflected, the Sili area is the richest area in the world, the farmers here go out, they will take the carriage, the carriage is about to become the basic supplies of the people in the Sili area, Luoyang is divided into two county seats, because there is a county in the world, so the county is changed to Yongyang County.

Yongyang lives in the northwest, so it has become a gathering place for Hu merchants outside the Saiwai, merchants as far as Daqin, can be found here, all kinds of goods, even, many foreign nobles are also sent here to learn the Han language, Xi Han language, in Guishan, Hening other countries, the Han language has become the best verification of the aristocratic identity.

In these states, only the nobles are qualified to learn Yayan, the nobles communicate, but also use Yayan, the edict is also used Chinese characters, which has become the proof of civilization and enlightenment, even, in Kushan and Anxi, there are many ministers who can say a few words of Yayan and proud, the merchants of the Han Dynasty, outside the Saiwai, one is more arrogant than the other, some kings of small states, when they meet the merchants of the Han Dynasty, will be invited to the palace, and he consults.

And in the country, Xizhou, Liangzhou and other places, extremely rich, no one could have imagined that in the past, the Xiliang bitter cold land that was always proposed to be given up by the ministers, can now become so rich, as a place where businessmen must pass through, here is different from the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, the development of agriculture and mulberry is backward, and the development of commerce, except for Yangzhou, no region can be compared.

Yizhou has a lot of merchants, through the Wenren Gong opened up this foreign trade road, Yizhou is getting richer and richer, and even a lot of big businessmen, who can compete with Liu Chan for the richest man in the Han Dynasty, all of them are from Yizhou, they employ tens of thousands of people, set up a large-scale tea planting in Yizhou, and even some businessmen have purchased thousands of silk looms, large-scale production of cloth, and large-scale mulberry to sell silk.

The officials of Yizhou have attacked many times, but they have not suppressed these big businessmen.

As for Jing, Yang, Jiao and other large states, they are relying on overseas, and they are becoming more and more prosperous, because most of the powerful people here have prepared ships and followed the overseas governments to go to sea several times, but the people here have been given a chance to ease up, and they have made every effort to reclaim, so that the people occupy more and more cultivated land, and the heroes and strongs stand side by side, and more and more new heroes have emerged.

The continuous flow of overseas manpower has led to the continuous increase of arable land in these areas, and continuous reclamation.

As for the Central Plains, it has always been rich, when the crazy development in various places, it is a little tired at this time, it is not as good as the south, or the northwest region, however, there is a lot of fertile land here, in the case of material circulation and sufficient manpower in various places, the Central Plains is still constantly developing and progressing, the most desolate He, Xin, You, and, Ning and other areas, but relying on the sale of minerals and carbon, has become the most important area of the Han Dynasty.

In winter, the charcoal and fur produced here have become essential items in various regions of Dahan.

Whether in terms of agriculture, commerce, culture, military and other aspects, the Han Dynasty has ushered in a breakthrough, the most powerful period of the Han Dynasty, under the diligence of three generations of the Son of Heaven, under the desperate efforts of hundreds of thousands of talents, has finally arrived.

The Han stands at a new apex, however, there seems to be no road ahead, different people, pointing out different paths, under the prosperity, but it is a contest between all parties, for the soon-to-be-completed Han law, for the soon-to-be-implemented Juntian system, within the county, ushered in the last moment of tranquility before the storm.

In the middle of the platform, Zhuge Liang looked at the law chapters piled up in front of him, but he fell into deep thought.
