Chapter 362: Luoyang
The emperor and his entourage continued to patrol according to the original route, turning from the north to the East China Sea and Qi, Qi has been divided into Linzi and a county and several counties, the chaos was at the beginning, but there were not many traces of military disasters, the emperor announced an amnesty, rewarded the soldiers of the rebellion, and transferred back to the original place, leaving only a few people to form a naval army.

The rebels were defeated, but the many pirates who participated in the rebellion and the first of them fled to the sea, which is still a hidden danger.
The original naval army of Dachu was too small and scattered, Han Ruzi gathered the armies together and sent them as generals, and the next thing was to recruit troops while building boats, and the military department estimated that it would take three years to achieve a small success, and if you want to sweep away the trouble of piracy in one fell swoop, it will take at least five years.
Han Ruzi can wait, he is no longer as urgent as he was at the beginning, everything takes time, and the most important thing is that Da Chu has been tired for many years and urgently needs to recuperate.
Under the strong advice of the ministers, the emperor did not go too far south, but just looked at the river, and then embarked on the road back to Beijing.
The king of the East China Sea got what he wanted, and was not left in the East China Sea Kingdom, and returned to Beijing with the emperor.
In addition to the princess, the Tan family must stay in the East China Sea and accept the supervision of the government, and several young children went to the north to serve in the army and make meritorious contributions to forgive their sins.
For the Jianghu people, Han Ruzi is not so eager to strike, he needs to make a more perfect plan.
Luoyang officials went out of the city for hundreds of miles to the border of Henan County to greet the emperor, and the pomp was even more grand than the last time.
At the end of summer, the palace kept sending people to send letters, urging the emperor to return to Beijing quickly, and Han Ruzi could only stay in Luoyang for three days.
Wang Jianhuo was not the first to be summoned, and it was not until the morning of the third day that he received the order to go to the palace.
The ugly king had a premonition that he was going to be busy in vain, and while the emperor was still on the way, he wrote a recital and sent it to the emperor by messenger, explaining everything clearly, saying that there was a great deal of evidence left in his hands, and that the emperor could hand it over at any time if he needed it.
But the emperor waited so long to summon him, obviously hesitant about how to deal with Luoyang.
There is a back garden in the palace, and the emperor invites the ugly king to enjoy the flowers together, and several eunuchs follow far behind with fruit wine and other things, which does not affect the conversation between the two.
The two chatted for a while, and Han Ruzi smiled and said, "Your Excellency seems to have something on your mind." ā
Wang Jianhuo has lost hope, after the emperor has experienced the siege of Jincheng, he has a lot less sharpness, and he can't do big things, "The displaced people have been sent back to their hometowns, and some people may not have time to grow grain, but this is a local problem to be solved, and the grass people can't help, and the grass people are going to resign to Your Majesty today." ā
"You're leaving Luoyang?"
"Well, wander around, and then go to Linzi to settle down, where there is a grass people's house."
Henan Yin Hanchou presented two mansions to the ugly king, one in the capital and the other in Linzi, and Wang Jianhuo has been written in the chapter.
Han Ruzi laughed twice, knowing that the ugly king was waking himself up, and took the lead into a nearby pavilion, and the eunuchs immediately brought fruit wine, and then retreated.
"It's hard to do." Han Ruzi was open and honest, he consulted many people's opinions, except for Cui Teng, they all thought that Luoyang was not easy to govern, there were too few people arrested, it was useless, too many people were arrested, and I was afraid that the business operation of the entire Great Chu would be greatly affected, as for Han Chou, he was the emperor's elder, and he won the favor of Wang Meiren, so he should be especially careful when dealing with this person.
Wang Jianhuo had no intention of persuasion, nodded and said: "The grass people understand that the grass people only have one thing to ask for. ā
"Please."
"In order to return to their hometowns, a large number of displaced people borrowed money and grain from merchants, and after the autumn, they inevitably had to sell their land and people, and become slaves.
"Well, what do you think?"
"Allow people everywhere to borrow money from the government to tide over the difficulties temporarily."
"Local governments may not have so much money, and a few officials like Henan Yin can accept bribes from businessmen to force people to repay loans."
Wang Jianhuo sighed lightly, "Your Majesty has a difficulty, so let's treat it as if the grass people didn't mention it." ā
"No, this matter always needs to be solved, do you have any other way?"
Wang Jianhuo thought for a while and shook his head, "If the grass people do their best, they may be able to save some people." ā
"The exiles and your Excellency are not related, Your Excellency still has to do your best, I am the Emperor of Great Chu, how dare I stay out of the matter?" Han Ruzi beckoned, and Zhang Youcai came in from outside and put a folded piece of paper on the stone table.
Wang Jianhuo got the signal, opened it and took a look, it was a holy decree that had not yet been promulgated, it was written that the emperor was about to return to Beijing, grateful for the hardships of the people who were displaced, as long as they were homeless people who returned to their hometowns, the IOUs from a certain year and month to a certain year, month and day were all handed over to the local government, and all parts of the country were gathered in the capital, and the emperor would open a private treasury to repay for the people.
Wang Jianhuo was taken aback, and looked up at the emperor, only then did he understand that caution was just an appearance, and the emperor still had a resolute heart.
"Your Majesty......" After being surprised, Wang Jianhuo still had something to say, "IOUs can be faked, as soon as Your Majesty opens this mouth, I am afraid that the accounts will rise exponentially, Your Majesty ...... Can you afford it? ā
Han Ruzi smiled and said: "So I need the list and evidence collected by Your Excellency, and I can ask for money, I will never pay the bill, but I also want to talk about these things that they have done wrongly." ā
Wang Jianhuo suddenly realized that the emperor was first carrying the account on himself, and then scared the merchants into not daring to ask for the account.
"It's ...... Which master came up with the idea for His Majesty? Wang Jianhuo couldn't believe that the young emperor could come up with such an idea.
This is indeed not the credit of Han Ruzi, but the plan drawn up by Qiao Wanfu.
"I have good ministers by my side." Han Ruzi said vaguely, "Do you think it's feasible?" ā
"There may still be people who are not afraid of death who ask Your Majesty for an account."
"As long as it is a normal debt, and this person has nothing to do with the law, I am willing to repay."
Wang Jianhuo pondered for a while, "This means that Your Majesty will not immediately dispose of the merchants in Luoyang?" ā
"Businessmen seek profits, but they can also communicate whether there is or not, more hurts the people, and what is lacking hurts the people, so they can keep their profits to see the after-effects."
"They can't change it."
"If the officials of Luoyang can be as honest and fair as Your Excellency, and the businessmen have no bribes, can't they be changed?"
Wang Jianhuo heard the emperor's intention to stay, got up and left the stool, and wanted to kneel down to refuse, but the emperor motioned for him to sit down, Wang Jianhuo said: "People like Caomin can't be officials." ā
"I don't force it." Han Ruzi still had some regrets, "The ugliness of the group is understandable, the first evil must be eliminated, I must at least let the Luoyang businessmen dare not collude with the officials for a while." ā
"Even if it's a child of the clan?"
Han Ruzi nodded, "But my methods may not meet your expectations, and I want to promote Henan Yin." ā
Wang Jianhuo was stunned, "Promotion? ā
"Henan Yin Han Chou has made meritorious contributions in the draft, I want to promote him to Zong Zhengqing, which can be regarded as a half-level promotion, and he will enter Beijing with me tomorrow, and his future is immeasurable."
Han Chou's family has been operating in Luoyang for several generations and is deeply rooted, so it will be better to transfer him from Luoyang first.
"Does Your Majesty know the inside story of the draft? Xungui's family wants to send their daughter into the palace, and they want to give gifts to Henan Yin, ordinary people don't want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, they also have to give gifts, Henan Yin competes for half of the places, but it's a big deal. ā
"Hey, Henan Yin is a hoarder, but he miscalculated the buyer, and this time he will definitely lose all his money."
Wang Jianhuo no longer had any doubts, from disappointment to joy, and from joy to admiration, and even had an impulse in his heart, wanting to swear allegiance to the emperor, but he held back, he understood his character, and he didn't want to be restrained after all, so he said: "The grass people still have a plan, does Your Majesty want to listen?" ā
"Listen up." Han Ruzi smiled.
The ugly king had been thinking about this plan for a long time, and he didn't say anything about it, and only after confirming that the emperor really wanted to do something would he be willing to disclose his heart.
Wang Jianhuo got up and arched his hand, and said: "Wang Jianhuo, the grass people, inherited the grace of His Majesty, supervised the resettlement of the homeless, accepted two houses and a large amount of property, the evidence is conclusive, and he is willing to surrender to the law." If Your Majesty wants to govern Luoyang, please start with the grass people. ā
Han Ruzi sighed lightly, he had reprimanded Wang Jianhuo in the holy decree before, the purpose was to help him, it seems that Wang Jianhuo has tasted the "sweetness", and he wants to continue, so that he can completely get rid of the court and return to the rivers and lakes.
Han Ruzi sighed because he had just sent off a person who did not want to stay in Dachu.
"Yes, as you wish."
Wang Jianhuo knelt down and sincerely kowtowed to thank him.
Henan Yin Hanchou did not know the news of his "promotion", seeing that the emperor's arrival this time was not as cold and arrogant as last time, and he was willing to stay in the palace arranged by him, he was extremely happy, and gathered a large number of selected show girls together, and let the painters draw into a book, and the emperor could ask for people according to the map, or directly appreciate.
The last morning of the emperor's stay in Luoyang was used to do this.
Officials at all levels were summoned to the palace, and the messengers of Henan County brought three full boxes of picture albums, Han Chou was very cautious, and had already found the most famous matchmaker in Luoyang City, and she explained the characteristics of each girl to the emperor.
The matchmaker has been preparing for this for nearly a month, and in order to highlight or hide a certain woman, she has received a lot of gifts, so she is high-spirited and ready to show her skills in front of the emperor, as the pinnacle of her life.
As a result, she didn't use it, she just glanced at the emperor from afar, and held her stomach alive with beautiful words, it is said that she fell seriously ill after returning home, and she didn't protect the media for many years.
Compared with her, Henan Yin Hanchou is even more unlucky.
In front of many Henan County officials, Liu Jie, the central supervisor, read out several holy decrees, the first is to send all the draft girls back to their respective homes, the emperor blamed himself in the holy decree, thinking that the siege of Jincheng was the fault of the emperor alone, so that the world shook, the officials and the people were suspenseful, fortunately got off, did not dare to disturb the people again, within three years, not allowed to be selected, the people over the age of fifteen, allowed to marry.
The emperor linked the draft with the siege of Jincheng, no one dared to squeak, Han Chou was sweating, and soon found out that this was only the beginning of bad luck.
In view of Wang Jianhuo's meritorious work in relocating the displaced people, he was willing to take the initiative to admit his guilt and allowed him not to wear shackles, and his family and property were not implicated.
The third decree was later known as the "Order of Substitution", in which the emperor took all the IOUs written by the exiles in recent months into his own hands, but Han Chou was least interested in this decree at that time.
The fourth holy decree, Henan Yin Han Chou's hard work and loyal, can be an example of the clan, specially promoted to Zong Zhengqing, and drove into Beijing on the same day.
Han Chou fainted on the spot, and he didn't even have a chance to "thank you".
Han Ruzi ordered someone to carry Han Chou on the road and return to the capital, after this trip, he understood many truths, especially Yang Feng's words:
There are two maturities in a person's life, the first time he knows what he can do, and the second time he knows what he can't do.
"Can't" doesn't mean not doing it, it's doing it more subtly.
Han Ruzi and the Huns' great revenge has not been avenged, and many hidden dangers such as Yun Mengze, bandits in the East China Sea, and building cities in the Western Regions also need to be solved, but he first has to return to the palace and face the people closest to him.
