Xiping 16th year, April

The foreign trade that was stopped due to the war was opened again, but this time it was opened, but it was different from the past, the merchants no longer had to go to Guishan, or even rest and other areas, they only needed to rush to Xiting County and enter Fang City, Cao Cao established a very vast Dafang City that could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time in the original fortress Xinha area.

The merchants of the Han Dynasty arrived here, dropped off the goods here, and waited for the merchants of Anxi and Guishan to come, which was naturally extremely beneficial to the merchants of the Han Dynasty, first of all, they had no thieves along the way, and Xiting County was also listed as within the territory of Xizhou, and within Xizhou, after Jia Xu's large-scale action, most of the thieves were eliminated and the merchants along the road were protected.

In addition, the Han Dynasty will no longer send a group of merchants to trade every year as before, and the trading market in Xizhou is permanent and will not be closed, that is to say, the merchants can go back and forth between the two places at any time, and even arrange people there to sell, send people to transport, and just sit in the house and enjoy the results.

Of course, Cao Cao will not treat these merchants so preferentially, the commercial tax of Xiting County can be said to be the most expensive in the various regions of the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu integrated the Xizhou region, he did not vigorously carry out the establishment of counties in addition to the state, he still did not want to do too harsh, under the premise of preserving the original countries, he began to build a city in Xizhou.

But it is not to build the city with all its might, but to build a post station, as a place for merchants to rest back and forth, this is the first case of a temple for merchants to provide a post station, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, merchants are unable to stay in the post station, of course, not only merchants, but also the people can not settle in, because the Han does not like to see the people running around.

If you don't work at home, what do you do when you run out?

If it weren't for the sake of servitude, or study, there is no letter to confirm the reason for going out, and even these people who went out would be arrested, imprisoned, and thrown back to their hometowns by the pavilion guards along the road, of course, the Han people themselves do not like to go out, many people, even in their lives, have never been out of their own pavilions, only the people who have lost their fields and cannot make a living will flee, and these people are called exiles.

Fortunately, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, there has been no displaced people for a long time, the Jianning period began the Datuntian policy, so that the Han Dynasty's cultivated fields have increased innumerable, the poor people, also have a way to make a living, and reduce the people's handicraft tax, some folk textiles, wood products, can be sold in the county, treat their business tax is not high.

At that time, everyone was strongly opposed to Wen Ren's attack, believing that his move would make a large number of people engage in carpentry, textile, and construction industries, and give up farming, which would weaken the national strength of the Han Dynasty, but this policy lasted for more than 30 years, in addition to improving the lives of the people and increasing the income of the people, there was no situation that the sages thought.

In Xizhou, Jia Xu opened up another precedent, providing a post station for businessmen and ordinary people, and reducing the restrictions on them, allowing them to move around on their own, doing business, and not interfering, and vigorously supporting some local heroes, allowing them to open up large-scale planting land, cotton crop cultivation, and a large number of winemaking, without paying attention to agriculture and mulberry!!

This kind of behavior, if it is in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, will definitely be scolded to death by the officials, even the local people, will definitely be scolded, but this is the convenience of Xizhou, here is far away from the temple, and most of the officials in the temple are not willing to put their eyes here, even Xiliang is regarded by them as a barbarian land, and they have thought about giving it up completely and giving it to the Qiang people, let alone Xizhou?

Jia Xu is here, do whatever he wants, just tell the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is also different from the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, he himself likes such a unique, different, very innovative affairs, he doesn't want to obstruct Jia Xu's policy at all, you can do whatever you want, as long as you let Xizhou develop, you are my hero!

So, under the advice of the Son of Heaven, in the temple, basically no one will talk about Xizhou, or foreign trade, even Yuan Shao, is only in the palace of the Son of Heaven conspiring, completely ignoring the rest of the important ministers, the war is over, the Han Dynasty is peaceful, the northwest region that was previously damaged by the war, is gradually recovering, and many officials who have passed the assessment have been sent to the northwest by the Son of Heaven.

In the same month, the Son of Heaven identified many officials in the East Palace for the crown prince Liu Mastiff.

With Yuan Shubai as the prince's concubine, two thousand stones, in charge of counseling the prince, courtesy and teacher, not official subordinates.

Many official positions in the East Palace of the Han Dynasty evolved from the Qin system, unlike the previous Han Dynasty, in today's time, the prince and the prince are no longer officials, without any administrative power, only the function of teaching the prince, this son is very suitable for Yuan Shu, don't pay attention to politics, just do what you did before, and continue to teach the Son of Heaven.

And the crown prince Zhan Shi, who really has the administrative power of the East Palace, has been abolished at this time, and is led by the prince and young master.

With Zhuge Liang worshiping as the prince's young master, two thousand stones, he also focuses on counseling, and knows that the prince is an official and does not follow the teacher.

This position is a lot more powerful, but it also depends on the person, if the young master is strong, he can be the little Situ of the East Palace, and all the officials of the rest of the princes of the lord, if he is weak, then the three officials below will preside over it.

With Sima Yi as the prince's family order, the commander of the prince's cang's order, the prince's food official order, Yuan Shang's prince's cang's order, and Fufengren's Fa Zheng as the prince's food official order, these are the ones who manage the finances of the East Palace.

With full favor worship as the prince's rate, the commander of the prince's house, the prince's concubine, Sun Quan as the prince's concubine, and Xiangyang's Pang Tong as the prince's concubine, these are the management of the penal law...

With Zhou Yu as the prince's servant, he commanded the prince's stable chief and other officials, while Lu Su, a native of Dongcheng, was the prince's stable.

Sima Yi, full of favor, Zhou Yu, has become the prince's three secretaries, if you watch carefully, you can find that their officials are imitating today's temples! can be regarded as a small Jiuqing, and even, you can directly see them as the little Sangong, Sima Yi is equivalent to Sikong, Full Favor is equivalent to Taiwei, and Zhou Yu is equivalent to Taifu, but because of the Taifu and the Young Master, they are still regarded as small Jiuqing.

As a young master, Zhuge Liang can't directly order the prince Sanqing, but there are directly subordinate princes to wash horses, prince Zhongdun, and prince guards, these three officials, the people who serve are also amazing, respectively, Cao Pi, Xun Ji, and Lu Yu are three people.

Of course, many people are still in the field, such as Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, are still officials in the field, but after receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, they rushed back to Luoyang, they are not dissatisfied with the prince's subordinate officials, but they are still happy in their hearts, and the people around them are also celebrating, as the prince's subordinate officials, entering the small temple around the prince, then they will become the real temple three princes in the future, it is almost an ironclad thing.

And the prince's subordinate official can be called the most rumored and outstanding, which shows the love of the Son of Heaven for him, and almost every one of his subordinate officials has won the most crown in the scientific merit assessment!

Liu Mastiff was so excited that he couldn't sleep, at night, he sat in the study, opened the book of heaven, read the names of his subordinate officials, pointed one by one, kept reading, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, he was very difficult to endure, these officials arranged by his father for himself, either in the book of heaven to achieve a great cause, extremely outstanding, or connected with the important ministers of the court, can shelter themselves!

The next day, just after waking up, Liu Mastiff couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly left the house and went straight to the palace.

In the Hall of Houde, looking at the prince who was kneeling in front of him and bowing to himself, the Son of Heaven remained silent, frowned, nodded, and reprimanded with some displeasure: "It's just some talents, what will happen to them in the future, it depends on how you use it, if you use it well, this big man in the world, I can rest assured that it will be in your hands, but you have to remember..."

"Anyone, is not born to know, all need to be sharpened, you can observe the Book of Heaven, but you can't be completely based on the Book of Heaven, their talents, temperament, may be different from the Book of Heaven, which requires you to check carefully... Emperor Xiaokang is famous for knowing people, do you think that he discovered so many talents with the help of the Book of Heaven? ”

"But if you think about it carefully, Duke Wenren, Wang Gong, Duke Zhang, Duke Yuan, Duke Yang, most of the courtiers who were reused during the Jianning period cannot be found in the Book of Heaven..."

"Learn to look at people... Got it? The Son of Heaven asked.

Liu Mastiff bowed again and said, "The child is taught, thank you father!" ”

"Hmm... Go and receive your subordinates well, they will be your three princes and nine ministers in the future." The Son of Heaven said slowly.

"Father, I have something that I haven't been able to figure out, and I don't know if I might ask?" Liu Mastiff suddenly spoke, the Son of Heaven nodded, and Liu Mastiff asked: "Since Emperor Xiaokang, as well as your father, all know the talents of Cao Gong, Zhuge Jun, Sima Jun and others, as well as Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others who are recorded, why don't you find them in advance and teach them?" ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "If you find them, eat and drink well, and enjoy all the wealth, I am afraid that even geniuses will become stupid... What's more, it's also our reluctance to intervene directly... for fear of pulling out the seedlings and encouraging them to grow..."

"The child understands," the mastiff nodded.

He got up and was about to leave, but he walked back again, hugged the big fat man in front of him, kissed him on the face, and said, "Thank you, Father!" After speaking, he walked out of the palace with a smile, at this moment, he was really like a child, he was his true self, the big fat man frowned, wiped the saliva on his face with some disgust, and scolded: "There is no prince's posture, go quickly!" Come on! ”

Liu Mastiff smiled and ran out of the palace.

When Liu Mastiff left, the Son of Heaven stretched out his head awkwardly, looked at it, and confirmed that he had really left, then he laughed, touched his face, quickly stood up, and ran towards the Yongci Palace.

"Hahaha, you don't know, that kid kissed me today!! He hasn't kissed you, has he? But he kissed me!! ”

looked at the big fat man in front of him who was proudly showing off.

Empress Cai snorted coldly and said, "So what, he is tired of me every day, and he will tell me everything!" How many times has he been to your Houde Palace! ”

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, the big fat man smiled so happily, and his face was full of happiness.
