Chapter 132 Board Meetings

The crown prince Liu Che, who had been absent for more than a month, returned to the early dynasty to listen to the government, which made all kinds of rumors spread by the Han government and the opposition self-defeating. The important ministers of the Han court had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they knew their bitterness. Liu Che didn't take the plans of the ministers to heart at all, he didn't plan to form a political faction quickly at all, and he didn't want to have a conflict of interest with the ministers too quickly.

As the post-secular saying goes, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, as long as the army is firmly grasped, even if the powerful families are rampant, it will only set off political storms, and the families will not risk the danger of extinction to usurp the clan until they are forced to do so or if they are stable.

As the students in the orphanage's inner courtyard gradually grow up, they will slowly go to various counties and counties of the Han Dynasty in the future to experience it, and they will slowly replace the status of conservative families in the future. The so-called moisturizing things is silent, and there is a saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, which is obviously in line with the Han family's philosophy of governing the country slowly.

Besides, Liu Che did not have the luxury of completely eliminating the wealthy families, since there was a class division, the concept of elite governance has run through thousands of years of human society. Even the US imperialists, who talk about "people's pigs" every day in later generations, are the so-called parliamentary and political axe leaders also in the hands of big families? Obviously, many angry young people who hold high the banner of "people's dogs" do not understand that this form of people holding the right to choose, rather than decision-making, is an efficient and feasible "people's pig" system.

Even if Liu Che learns from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, there will still be emerging families in the future. In ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign countries, gate politics is the same, but to different degrees. What Liu Che can do is to promote education as much as possible, so that ordinary people can have the opportunity to receive education; In the future, it is necessary to reform the official selection system so that officials from poor backgrounds can have relatively fair opportunities for promotion.

In fact, in the later generations of New China, there was a long time when the people had a few opportunities. However, with the implementation of quality education, the upper-class elite began to require those dolls in the mountains, the bitter children who walked dozens of miles to school, and the children in the city to compare piano and programming, and carry out the so-called special enrollment. This is the sorrow of the nation! It is the most despicable act of a brick scholar!

In particular, the major media also shamelessly hyped up how the rich second generation of officials and the second generation of officials were unsuccessful, and how hard-working the children were, and finally made remarkable achievements. Shameless! The inequality of the right to education directly leads to the inequality of comprehensive quality; The inequality of birth background will bring about inequality in opportunities, and the probability of success of a bitter child is definitely much lower than that of the rich second generation of officials! Don't just look at a few successful miserable children, look at the billions of toiling people and left-behind children, and calculate the proportion.

The reason why the US imperialists are strong is precisely because they ensure that every child has the opportunity to receive a good education to a certain extent, not a quality education that is not bullshit! Even though their politics are largely controlled by big families and chaebols, they at least preserve the hope of ordinary people to strive upward. And those tired scholars and professors in New China should have cut themselves off from the people a long time ago!

Liu Che is deeply aware that it is too early to talk about all this. However, in the face of Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, the peerless Fifth Emperor Brother, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

I have to admit that the royal family has undergone excellent genetic inheritance and elite education, and there will always be outstanding figures in each generation. Emperor Jing's younger brother, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was famous for his virtue. And Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, is almost the same as his uncle Liu Wu, the same domineering, the same talent, and the same prestige. Fortunately, he doesn't have a cruel brother like Emperor Jing, but he has Liu Che, a younger brother who has traveled through more than 2,000 years.

Since Liu Fei became the chairman of the Royal Industrial Group, he has rested on the idea of seizing the reserve, but he has become like a fish in water. Now he controls the huge business network in which most of the powerful families of the Han Dynasty participate, and he is naturally majestic, and he is not much more beautiful than the original little princes and kings, which greatly satisfies his domineering surname.

Under the management of Liu Fei, the Royal Industrial Group has made smooth progress in various businesses, the group's management is well organized, and the already huge income can be doubled. After reviewing the financial statements for the first half of the year, Liu Che couldn't help but express his sincere admiration for the extraordinary practical ability of this imperial brother. If Liu Che came to get it personally, he might not be able to do it to this extent. It can be seen that Liu Fei, like Liu Wu, the king of Liang, does have the ability to be arrogant and arrogant.

In the case of the crown prince Liu Cheduo's absence from the early dynasty, Liu Fei was stunned to unite the princes and beat the ministers who came to the door to instigate them to wait for the opportunity to move, and kicked them out of the door. This kind of attitude of showing favor naturally made Emperor Jing and Liu Che very satisfied. Liu Che rushed to the headquarters of the Imperial Industrial Group and convened the princes to discuss relevant matters.

Liu Fei playfully let Liu Che into the chair of the head of the conference table and asked, "I don't know why His Highness summoned me and others?" ”

"You royal brothers don't have to be polite, there are too many politeness between brothers, it is inevitable that they will look rusty, sit down, feel free." Liu Che waved his hand, asked several princes to sit down, and then said: "My father mentioned before that this great victory in Guancheng, the soldiers who entered Beijing to offer prisoners can arrive in Chang'an without saying it. With nearly 50,000 slaves, it is also very difficult to deal with them at that time. ”

The princes' eyes lit up, they were not stupid, they naturally knew that the elder brother Liu Che would not be untargeted, and they wanted to talk about the distribution of prisoners today. Human trafficking has always been a profiteering industry, not to mention that this is the largest official legal transaction since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and most of the powerful people in the Han Dynasty are very greedy for this piece of fat.

Liu Pengzu, the pot-bellied king of Zhao, was full of flattery: "A few days ago, I heard that the fifth brother was worried about the lack of manpower, but now there are 50,000 strong slaves, and I have to bother His Highness to say a few kind words in front of his father, let's buy these slaves." ”

All the princes agree with each other, and now that they are addicted to making money, they naturally feel that the more labor they have, the better. However, Liu Fei frowned, and said slowly: "Eighth brother's words are not very thoughtful, these 50,000 slaves are all Xiongnu soldiers, and the barbarians have always been fierce, I am afraid that the private soldiers in our palace are not enough to deter." If something happens, it will be a disaster. ”

Liu Pengzu was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother's words are reasonable, but I am Meng Lang." ”

Many of the powerful people of the Han Dynasty secretly raised private soldiers, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, the prince and king of the city, even had nearly 100,000 private soldiers. The rest of the princes, kings, and magnates in various places were powerful, and the private soldiers in the palace ranged from more than 100 to thousands, and they were trained in the name of guards. However, the Gyeonggi counties at the foot of the Son of Heaven are a different story. Even Zhou Yafu, who was extremely prominent before, did not dare to raise thousands of private soldiers in Chang'an's mansion, otherwise he would be plotting to usurp and rebel.

The princes who have already lived in the royal manor have only more than 100 so-called guards in their respective mansions, and they are still stretched thin to take care of their families, let alone control nearly 50,000 strong slaves.

Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, looked at the crown prince Liu Che with a relaxed face and asked, "Your Highness thinks that you have already planned it, right?" ”

Liu Che shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile on his chin: "Gu did discuss this matter with his father, and according to King Gu's wishes, none of these 50,000 official slaves will be bought by our royal industrial group." ”

The princes' faces were full of surprise, and Liu Fei shook his head again and again, and said hurriedly: "Although Brother Wei is worried about the lack of private soldiers and cannot deter these many slaves, he can always come up with a lot of ways. If you don't buy any of them, won't you be choking on food? ”

Seeing that Liu Che was unmoved, he persuaded bitterly: "Now that the group has taken over the asphalt highway between the counties of Gyeonggi, it is the time when manpower is urgently needed, and the construction period will be missed, and there will be no way to explain it to my father." ”

Liu Che smiled indifferently and said: "It's not just these asphalt avenues, last night I also agreed with my father that I would build thousands of miles of avenues to the northwest in order to open up the northwest trade route to the Western Regions." ”

When the princes heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although they know little about business, as major shareholders, they will be summoned by Liu Fei from time to time to explain the group's financial situation and planning. This is the rule set by the prince Liu Che, and it is said that Liu Fei, as the chairman, should be transparent in management. Therefore, they somewhat understand that road construction will bring huge benefits in the future, especially the trade routes, which are the fat that Liu Fei has always been thinking about. The high toll that Guangguang extracted from the caravan was a predictable source of money.

However, Liu Fei, who was in charge of the specific affairs of the group, was mixed with joy and sorrow, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "It is a good thing to build the Northwest Trade Road, but now the manpower is still insufficient, and the Northwest Avenue does not know what to do to break ground." And thousands of miles of asphalt pavement are far away to be completed. ”

Liu Che shook his head and unscrupulously broke the news: "They are all their own brothers, and the Lone King does not hide it from your brothers, now that the war situation in the north has been decided, my father will crusade against Xiqiang next." Therefore, the Northwest Avenue will still be responsible for transporting troops and transporting grain and grass, and it must be prepared as soon as possible and completed within this year. ”

The princes did not have any surprised looks, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital had already learned the news of the raid on Beidi County by 50,000 cavalry of Xiqiang. For these rabble who are trying to fish in troubled waters, even the conservative forces led by the Dou clan do not have any intention of peace talks. Now that the north is victorious, the right virtuous king of the Huns hates the city, if Emperor Jing does not take advantage of the situation to clean up Xiqiang, the clown who jumps the beam, he is not worthy of being the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Fei became more and more puzzled: "That is the case, why didn't His Highness let the group buy these 50,000 slaves, you need to know that even if you drive all of them to build roads, I'm afraid it will not be enough." ”

"Because of this, this road construction cannot be built by the group alone, and we need to let the wealthy family willingly do things for us. As for the income, if the five emperor brothers follow the method of the lonely king, it will definitely be only a lot more. Liu Che nodded in agreement, and then waved his hand to Zhang Qian behind him, signaling him to distribute the stack of booklets in his arms to the princes.

Liu Fei picked up the booklet, and on the cover there were several big words "Outsourcing and Bidding Matters of Northwest Avenue", and then he couldn't wait to read it. In the past, the books provided by the crown prince Liu Che could bring him a bright feeling, and this time he naturally had to study them carefully and ask for advice.
