Chapter 61 The Silkworm Room

Standing on the Wangshan Tower, you can clearly see the whole picture of the Yun family.

The same royal rules apply to Kamibayashien, where the tallest building is always the five-story wooden building of Nagato Palace.

Every day, the first rays of sunshine always stand on the top of the pointed building, and naturally, the last ray of sunset will disappear on the roof.

After continuous expansion, the main building of Nagato Palace has become the largest building in Shanglin Garden, and even Ganquan Palace is dwarfed in front of Nagato Palace.

The absolute factor that determines the height of the Nagato Palace building is financial resources!

The Great Han Kingdom is now short of money everywhere, there are loopholes everywhere that need to be filled, and the amount in the palace has been reduced again and again, so that the emperor is overstretched if he wants to fill the façade in front of foreigners.

Sang Hongyang is definitely a prime minister who purely pursues practicality, and since he took over the position of prime minister from Xue Ze, the miscellaneous expenses of the court have been reduced by a full three.

The butter candles as thick as children's arms in the Jianzhang Palace were replaced with oil lamps, and every night, after lighting the oil lamps, black smoke would billowing out of the Jianzhang Palace, as if there was a fire.

Liu Che was very dissatisfied, he thought that there was no need to be so frugal in the palace, after all, the Great Han Kingdom was not so poor that there was not even a single candle used by the emperor.

For this reason, after Sang Hongyang settled accounts with the emperor for a whole day, the emperor didn't say anything.

Immediately set up the palace in Nagato Palace.

The expenditure of the Nagato Palace has nothing to do with the imperial court, and if you calculate it carefully, the imperial court still owes the Nagato Palace two years of appropriation.

Gillian is a self-sufficient person, so no matter how much she spends, Sang Hongyang never says a word.

On the contrary, he even arranged the grand scenes that could be arranged in Nagato Palace, all in Nagato Palace.

So much so that the drums in the Nagato Palace were playing all day long, which made Gillian unbearable.

So, Gillian would go to live in the Yun family's mountain residence during the day, and she would not come back until the emperor had finished handling political affairs.

There are also mountain dwellings in the Nagato Palace, which are even larger and more numerous than those of the Yun family, and there is even one halfway up the Lishan Mountain.

It's just that there are a lot of hairy people living in these mountain residences, which makes Gillian immediately abandon the mountain residence of Nagato Palace.

The arrival of these people is completely attributable to Zhang Qian! At least that's what Gillian thinks, this guy is going to the Dayue clan, so the big and small countries he met along the way, after hearing that there is such a powerful empire as the Han Dynasty, they have sent envoys to fight the autumn wind in the name of tribute.

People sent furs, precious stones, dried fruits, felt, pottery, bronze, donkeys, camels, horses, and the Han wanted to give them back, silk, gold and silver, linen, books, tools, and in Gillian's opinion, it was a big loss.

What puzzles Gillian the most is that in these countries, the largest population is only 50,000 or 60,000, and the smallest is 1,000 people......

She couldn't figure out that Dahan, a county magistrate who governed ten thousand households, would never have the courage to climb the gate of her Changmen Palace.

Liu Che was full of interest, and he received more than a dozen waves of envoys in a month, and he liked to see this group of envoys who didn't even dare to raise their heads after seeing him.

"Wuqiang, Loulan, Jimo, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu, Humi, Qule, Khotan, Pishan, Wujiao, Xiye, Zihe, Puli, Yinai, Wulei, Nandou, Dawan, Taohuai, Xiuxun, Donation, Shache, Shule, Weitou, Gumo, Wensu, Qiuzi, Yuli, Weixu, Yanqi, Gushi, Moshan, Zai, Huhu, Quli, Wulei...... Each one is good. ”

Liu Che met with the envoys of the Eight Kingdoms again today, and he had a great appetite during dinner in the evening.

Gillian carefully peeled the fish bones out of the fish, put the meat pieces on Liu Che's plate, and said dissatisfiedly: "One by one, it stinks, what's good." ”

Liu Che swallowed the fish meat in one bite and said with a smile: "What's the stinking point, it's clean after washing, I just want to know where their country is, what products they have, whether the land is fertile or not!"

Can you help us deal with the Huns! ”

"How much can men, women, and children, all of whom have a combined total of less than half a million people, help us?"

"There is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust! I don't need them to fight a bloody war with the Xiongnu, as long as they all know that the Han is a country that is more powerful than the Xiongnu, and there is no ill will towards them. ”

Gillian heard Liu Che say this, and felt that this was not like her own man's personality, so she said strangely: "That's all? ”

Liu Che ate the smooth carved Hu rice after eating, and said with satisfaction: "Of course this is the case now, when the Huns are dead, it is natural to adjust the national policy, and it is impossible for the Han to treat these Hu people endlessly." ”

Gillian saw that the emperor ate sweetly, so she stopped talking, quietly served the emperor to eat, and waited for the emperor to finish the soup, then whispered: "Is the treasury out of money?" ”

Liu Che smiled awkwardly: "How is it possible! ”

Gillian sighed and said, "How can you hide it from me?" Sang Hongyang levied a salt and iron tax like crazy, and I heard that the liquor tax was about to be introduced.

Two years after the tax has been received in Fugui Town, how can Yin eat grain?

You didn't like to eat carved hu rice before, but today you eat it so sweet, why do you even have to deduct your food? ”

Liu Che smiled bitterly and said: "Bai Mountain's fight is inextricable, and the Fifth Route Army has gone out of the border again, and the accumulation of two years is naturally empty. ”

Gillian smiled bitterly: "The people still think that you are so reckless and extortive because of your own extreme luxury."

I still have some savings here, and I'll send them to the treasury when I go back, although it won't be a drop in the bucket, but at least it will make you a little more relaxed. ”

Liu Che thought for a while and said, "It's okay, when the treasury is full, I'll pay you back!" The veterans of Baishan Mountain are coming back, they are all loyal ministers and good generals who have served the country for decades, and there is no reward to say. ”

Gillian nodded, she naturally knew about the trilateral captains, the emperor wanted to abolish the trilateral captains, and those veterans did not have any resistance, they were all waiting for the emperor's will to arrive, and then they would change generals.

Indeed, they are all good courtiers.

"Xue Ze is really able to serve as Shuo Fangmu?"

"The biggest advantage of this person's other abilities is that he can be placed anywhere to make people feel at ease.

The army and the people must be divided, this is an inevitable thing, otherwise, there are too many troops left in Baishan Mountain, and if the general department is in charge of everything, it is no different from being crowned a king.

Although Su Jian's qualifications are not enough, it is still possible to serve as a marshal of a general after the division of military and civilian rule. ”

"I don't understand state affairs, if you think it's good, it's good, but Yunlang can they come back?"

Liu Che said with a smile: "People are big-minded, and they are not ready to come back."

Did You Know? When they went to the land of the Qiang people to hunt grass valleys, they found that the Qiang people had gathered into a large tribe of 30,000 people, and had built a large city.

Then, hmph, those guys got up with the idea of the magpie's nest dove, and killed almost half of the males of the big tribes, ready to gain a foothold there. ”

"Can you really stand on your feet?"

Liu Che sighed and said: "I don't know, the situation there is not good, there are always inextricable links between the tribes, they may be able to be strong for a while, after a long time, their shortcomings of too few people will be exposed, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold for a long time." ”

Gillian has a different opinion on this, she watched Yun Lang go from nothing to the whole process of establishing a wealthy Yun manor.

The various miracles in it are dazzling, anyway, he tinkered with it for a while, and a Yun Zhuangzi with a name for Chang'an was built.

"Building a city against Huo Quai, Yunlang shouldn't have any difficulty for them, right?"

Liu Che said expressionlessly: "Is there anything I don't know?" ”

"Nature is a skill, you always underestimate the world!"

"Look at their ability, anyway, He Chou has already gone to the river meander, no matter what they do, I will see it.

That city can't be called the city of the river, but I give it the name of the city to be surrendered! ”

Gillian gritted her teeth and said, "How can they let you go?" ”

Liu Che sneered: "Discipline the monkey, it's better to send a more powerful one." ”

Gillian shuddered and said: "The leader of the silkworm room, the eunuch, the concubine is scared, I have been the queen for eight years, and I have seen him once." ”

Liu Che may also have bad memories, scratching his chin and saying, "I don't like that person either, and I can't see or worry when I send it to the surrendered city." ”
