A few days later, Liu Shi was about to go to Lu Zhi's mansion to study, and saw a small yellow door coming to preach the edict. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Shi hurriedly saluted, took out a piece of beautiful jade from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Huangmen: "My lord has worked hard!" ”

Xiao Huangmen glanced at Liu Shi and said with a smile: "My name is Zuo Feng, my little brother is very interesting, not as blunt as Lu Zigan, I accepted this gift, when you go in to see Your Majesty, you can't look around, Your Majesty likes businessmen, as long as Your Majesty is happy, you will naturally have your benefits." Let's go, follow my tail, and don't keep Your Majesty waiting too long. Then he turned around and left.

When Liu Shi first entered the palace, his heart beat like a drum, the tall palace was resplendent with gold, and there was a row of warriors standing on both sides, extremely majestic, holding an iron halberd in his hand, and not looking away.

Liu Shi followed Zuo Feng through a few palace gates and came to a large hall. After a while, he heard: "Spread Liu Shi into the hall!" Only then did Liu Shi bow his head and walk into the main hall.

Hearing the palace say, "Liu Shi raised his head." Liu Shi looked up at this time, and saw that both sides of the hall were full of ministers, and there was a person about forty years old, pale, dressed in a yellow robe sitting high in the hall, he knew that this was the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

At this time, a shrill voice came, "It's Liu Shi who came, don't hurry up and salute Your Majesty." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly waved at the hall and said, "Grass people Liu Shi bows to Your Majesty." ”

"Well, stand up and speak! Let me ask you, I heard that you like businessmen very much, so let me hear about it. Emperor Liu Hong asked with a smile in his eyes.

Some of the ministers on both sides also laughed, Liu Shi's face turned red, and he said a little nervously: "Xiaomin has helped his cousin take care of the shop since he was a child, and he is a little interested in buying and selling goods. ”

"Can you tell us how you feel about Shang Jia?" Liu Hong said again.

Liu Shi straightened his waist: "I think that businessmen are 'goods through the north and south, wealth reaches three rivers, makes up for the defects and surpluses, and benefits the country and the people." ”

"Oh, tell me how to make up for the shortcomings and surpluses for the benefit of the country and the people." Liu Hong asked with some interest.

Liu Shi thought for a while and said: "If a place does not move, it will accumulate, and if the material accumulates, the people will be poor, and if the people are poor, the country will have no taxes." In a certain place, because one thing is produced, another thing may be lacking, and the lack of goods will be inconvenient for the people. If the backlog of things in place A can be transported to land C, which lacks this thing, and then the things accumulated in place C can be transported to place B, which lacks this thing, just like Shu is good at weaving silk silk, and Jianghuai has more grains, and Qingzhou has more salt. Yanzhou has iron, than this exchange, to make up for the shortage, the people are rich, and the court has more taxes. Isn't it for the benefit of the country and the people? ”

"Well, it's really good for the country and the people, it seems that you are also proficient in physics, like a doctor of physics." Liu Shi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the seal." ”

Liu Hong smiled: "You kid is also clever. ”

He paused and said: "The hoeing is urgent in the middle of the day, and the late return home is late, and the farmer is busy for half a year with a grain of millet on the plate." Did you do it? ”

"It's what Xiaomin did. Since the age of 14, Xiaomin has respected his father's order and gone out to study, first worshipping Mr. Donglai Kangcheng as his teacher. A year later, he wanted to return to Luoyang to continue his study tour. Behold! Xiaomin was infected with typhoid fever and his life was not guaranteed, so he had to be rescued by a Chinese teacher. Seeing that the Chinese teacher had excellent medical skills, and received the grace of saving his life, he had the idea of apprenticeship. Dehua Shi took him in, and traveled from Huashi to Xu, Yang, Henan, Yan and other prefectures, and saw many people in distress. A few days ago, Lu Shi took the examination for my way of governing government, and I felt the bitterness of the people, so I took two of them. ”

"Since you are a student of the great Confucian Mr. Zheng Kangcheng and Lu Zigan, I think it won't be too bad to come to literature, I heard that you are still a member of the Han family, is it true?" Liu Hong asked again.

Liu Shi replied: "Cao Min was originally the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, grandfather Liu Xiong, and father Liu Yi. In the past, Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Sheng, was guilty of the crime of drinking money, and our branch was only in Zhuo County, and now the family is in the middle of the road. ”

After Emperor Liu Hong heard this, he called out, checked the genealogy of the clan, and then ordered Zongzheng to read it out: "Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons. The seventh son was Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Shengsheng Lucheng Pavilion Marquis Liu Zhen. This Liu Zhen, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was crowned the Marquis of Zhuolu Pavilion, and later lost the Marquis because of sitting on the gold. The following is no longer recorded. ”

Emperor Liu Hong looked at Liu Shi and said, "How do you say this, how do you prove that you are my Han clan relative." ”

Liu Shidao: "My family has a ding, and there is a record of Zhenshengpei Liu Ang on the ding. Angsheng Liu Lu. Lu Sheng Liu Lian. and record the reasons for the loss. I hope that our future generations will study hard and practice martial arts, expand the territory for our dynasty, strive to be a marquis immediately, restore the reputation of our ancestors, and win glory for our ancestors.

Later, Lian made another genealogy, which was passed down from generation to generation, and narcissistic Liu Ying was born. Yingsheng Liu Jian. Jiansheng Liu Ai. Mourning Liu Xian. Xiansheng Liu Shu. Shu Sheng Liu Yi. Yisheng Liu Bi. Born Liu Da. Dasheng Liu is not suspicious. There is no doubt that Liu Hui was born. Wison Dongjun Fan Ling Liu Xiong. The eldest son, Liu Hong, and the second son, Liu Yi, are resolute.

I am Liu Yi's son. Since we were a little older, we were told by the patriarch that the lineage must remember the genealogy and the teachings of our ancestors. ”

Liu Hong asked people to arrange the genealogy, and found that Liu Shi was actually his own brother, and he was silent. He also said: "The clan will send someone to your clan to investigate, if it is a child of my clan, according to the genealogy of my brother." If you have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, on the day of the marquis, you should include your clan in the clan. If it is found that you are a counterfeit clan, your entire clan will be punished with death, and then it will be announced to the world. Do you understand? ”

Liu Shidao: "Please Your Majesty investigate carefully, and never dare to take the name of the royal family." ”

"Good! In this case, I have given you great talents, and you must do good things for me, and if you can make meritorious contributions, you will restore the glory of your ancestors, what do you think? ”

Liu Shigong replied: "I should die for Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the court: "What county and county orders are vacant now?" ”

At this time, a person came out of the class and said: "Now Chang'an Yin Shangluo County because of the serious banditry, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant were killed by the bandits, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant have been vacant for two years, although the sage was arranged to go to the post halfway, but they were all killed by the bandits halfway, and now no one is willing to take office, Liu Shi is His Majesty's new Maocai, both civil and military, and he should share the worries for His Majesty, relieve the people from hanging upside down, and exterminate the bandits.

Moreover, Longxi Bianzhang rebelled, the army gathered in Chang'an, Nanyang to Chang'an all the way because of the bandits and the road was blocked, the army grain and grass supply, all thanks to Yanzhou, Jizhou supply. This year, Yanzhou is dry, Jizhou is rainless, and food is in difficulty, so it is urgent to communicate with Huainan and Jingzhou.

However, bandits are rampant, and most of the troops flee, and few are disadvantageous. Since Liu Shi is good at material transportation, this matter is handed over to Liu Shi, and it is best to be responsible for the safety of goods along the way, and it is also a great achievement if it can be done. Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be commonplace.

Liu Hong looked at Yuan Zhen for a while, then turned his head and asked Liu Shi: "Deran is willing to be the magistrate of this county and share my worries." ”

When Liu Shi heard that the adult just now recommended him to be the magistrate of Luo County, he felt that it was not good. He had already heard of Shangluo County on Wuguan Road. Later, I heard that the previous county magistrates were all killed by bandits, and my heart was full of anger. I don't understand why this person can't get along with him, and he wants to send himself to death.

Hearing Liu Hong's inquiry, he had to reply helplessly: "The minister is willing to go, but he wants the minister to be responsible for the safety of Wuguan Road all the way, and the minister is afraid that he will not slack off." Wuguan all the way, across Lantian, Shangluo, Shangxian three counties, high mountains, water evil, ditch dangerous, continuous 800 miles, must cooperate with the three counties to ensure that the road is smooth. Therefore, if the minister wants to complete this matter, he must send a decree that the minister can act cheaply in the three counties. ”

Emperor Liu Hong turned his head to look at a fat white man with a white beard and said, "Father has seen the recitals of Shangluo County, Jizhou, Yanzhou and Chang'an Taiwei Zhang. ”

The silver-bearded old man replied: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has seen it, and Jizhou came to play and said, 'Jizhou is drought, the grain is not harvested, and Chang'an Taiwei Zhang also went to the table to urge grain, as for Shangluo County, there is indeed a chapter saying that the county magistrate and county lieutenant were killed by bandits, although the court sent a large army to expropriate and suppress, but the effect was not good, and the army was far away, and the few were provoked by bandits. All the way to Wuguan Road, the court chased the grain tightly, so it had to send a large army to escort it, but only three stones were left to send 10 stone of grain to Chang'an, and the cost was serious. ”

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, looked up at Liu Shidao: "I know that your martial arts are very good, and I follow Lu Shangshu to learn, Xiaochang military, I named you the magistrate of Shangluo County, the military commander of Shangluo County, Shangluo, and Lantian County, except for the soldiers of the three counties, you are allowed to act cheaply, recruit 1,000 soldiers, recruit bandits, and escort the grain and grass on Wuguan Road." ”

Liu Shi said: "The minister is willing to respect His Majesty's will, but now in the near winter, the mountains in Shangluo County are high, the stream is deep, the snow is thick, and it is difficult to suppress bandits, and I have not seen my father since I went out to study four years ago, so I beg Your Majesty to agree, and return to Zhuo County once before taking office." ”

"This is accurate, this dynasty governs the country with filial piety, but the military situation is urgent, allow you to take office within three months, and ensure that the goods along the Wuguan Road in the coming year are unblocked, if you can do it, I will seal you Zhuojun Tinghou." Liu Hong replied.

Liu Shi hurriedly replied: "Thank you for Your Majesty's gift, the minister's liver and brain are smeared, and I am willing to serve Your Majesty." ”

"Well, stand down! Within three days, you will go to the Shangshu office to receive the official seal, and within three months, you will take up your post and quickly organize county soldiers to recruit and suppress bandits, and ensure that the supplies from Jianghuai and Jingzhou arrive in Chang'an smoothly. ”
