—————————————————————————————————— Xianyang, Changle Palace.
Although it is the height of summer, the entire Changle Palace is wrapped in impermeable wind, and because the sun does not shine in, almost all the palace rooms in the Changle Palace are gloomy.
The palace of the crown prince Liu Ying is especially gloomy.
Liu Ying, who is only twenty-four years old, has been thin to the skinny bones, there is only one breath left, last winter, he took the guards to Nanshan to hunt, but encountered a white tiger, the mount was frightened and threw Liu Ying down, Liu Ying was rescued by the guards back to Xianyang and then fell ill, dozens of imperial doctors tried their best to get sick instead of improving but getting worse day by day.
Lu Pheasant was standing in front of Liu Ying's sickbed and weeping silently, at this time, Lu Pheasant's mood can only be described in one sentence, that is, mourning is greater than heart death, seeing that his only son Liu Ying is alive in a few days, Lu Pheasant feels that the whole sky has fallen, if the son of ** (Mrs. Qi) is really allowed to inherit the throne, can his Lu family still be good?
Therefore, Lu Pheasant directed a poisoning case, but unfortunately, it fell short in the end.
However, Lu Pheasant did not give up, she was secretly in contact with a hero, and was going to pay a lot of money to hire a few assassins to assassinate the ** and Liu Ruyi, Lu Pheasant is now unscrupulous, as long as she can get rid of Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi, she doesn't care if she will be exposed, even if she is exposed, what can she do? Liu Ying is dead, and she doesn't want to live anymore.
Although Liu Ying was dying, she had already guessed Lu Pheasant's thoughts, and persuaded weakly at the moment: "Queen Mother, don't be embarrassed anymore, the day is not a holiday for the child, that is the child's life, Yu Ruyi has nothing to do with it, and Ruyi is very intelligent, and he will definitely be a competent monarch in the future......"
"Ying'er." Lu Pheasant hurriedly stopped Liu Ying and said, "Don't think nonsense, the imperial doctor has said, you are just a little frightened, just raise the general, you just have to recuperate with peace of mind, when your illness is cured, the throne of this big man is yours, no one can take it away, the queen mother assures you, well, you sleep." ”
Liu Ying sighed and soon fell asleep groggily.
Seeing that Liu Ying was asleep, Lu Pheasant tiptoed out of Liu Ying's dormitory, summoned the guards and ordered: "Prepare the car and go to the Green Willow Villa in the north of the city." ”

Ziling, the study room on the palace of the king of Chu.
Xiang He is playing state affairs to Xiang Zhuang, and the power structure of the Chu State is somewhat similar to the prime minister's responsibility system in the Sui and Tang dynasties, so that the Yin Mansion is responsible for the country's large and small civil affairs, and the general affairs of Yin can be handled by himself.
Putting down the fold in his hand, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but say: "The first batch of 200,000 stone rice is about to leave Sichuan?" ”
The Qin family in Bazhong is worthy of being a commercial family, and Mrs. Qin is also worthy of being a business wizard, it has only been more than a month, and it has raised 200,000 stone rice, and it will soon be able to go out of Sichuan from the waterway, and it is more convenient to take the waterway than the land route. ..., Xiang He said with a bitter face: "But the king, the price of this batch of rice is as high as two hundred yuan per stone, and one tael of gold can only buy ten stones of rice, which is twice as high as the price of rice in Ziling!" After saying this, Xiang He said again, "Moreover, this batch of rice is a special purchase by the king, and there is no need to pay a cent of gold along the way, so this Qin family is too dark, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said indifferently, "Now we have money in the treasury, but there is no grain in Taicang, as long as the Qin family can get grain for us, it doesn't hurt if the price is more expensive." ”
This is the truth, today's Chu State is really not bad for money, and the centigold alone is a lot of money.
More than ten years ago, the land endowment of Chu was very low, and the operation of the imperial court basically relied on the profits of winemaking, papermaking and book sales, which was actually the national policy of hiding wealth from the people, after years of accumulation and accumulation, the people of Chu had accumulated considerable wealth, which was the initial primitive accumulation.
With primitive accumulation, industry and commerce have the capital for development.
After more than ten years of development, now Jiangdong's industry and commerce has been extremely prosperous, every year just the gold has been able to contribute millions of taels of gold, a few months ago a guy issued nearly 10 million taels of gold, which is a huge stimulus to Jiangdong and even the entire Chu country's industry and commerce, it is foreseeable that this year's Chu country's industry and commerce will usher in an explosive development.
In this case, the question of money is really not to worry, and even if the treasury is unable to make ends meet, is it not possible to plunder gold from the Middle East through ocean trade? There is a lot of gold in the two river valleys, and luxury goods such as silk, porcelain, paper, and liquor are extremely popular in the West. Xiang Zhuang said so, Xiang He didn't say anything more, and he also faintly heard a rumor, saying that it was Mrs. Qin, the head of the Qin family in Bazhong, that was the pretty widow with all kinds of charms, and there seemed to be some entanglement between her and the king, and it was said that she had spent the night in the palace before leaving Ziling, and she didn't know if it was true or not.
When Xiang Xiang picked up the second note, he said to Xiang Zhuang: "King, there is also news from Liangdi, since three days ago, there have been people in Liangdi who have fled into Jiujiang and Hengshan counties, and Jiujiang County Shou and Hengshan County Shou have opened porridge sheds on the border to help refugees, but now there are not many refugees who have fled into the two counties. ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded and said: "Tell the Jiujiang County Guard and the Hengshan County Guard that the Liangdi refugees must be properly settled, and a single refugee must not starve to death, otherwise, the widow is the only one who asks!" ”

Chen County, Ruyin County.
In the east of the city, no less than 500 people have gathered under a hundred-year-old mulberry tree, and seeing so many people gathered together, in the spirit of joining in the fun, there are more people who continue to gather under the big tree from all around, and in the center of the crowd, a young man in his twenties is standing on a big rock and talking.
"You don't know, in Jiangdong, as long as you hand over one percent of the harvest, the rest will be yours, and there is no poll tax except for the field tax, and you can get back a lot of money by planting a few cotton plants and weaving a few pieces of cloth in the field.
"Let's fool the ghost." Some people disagreed, "You don't have to pay the poll tax, who believes it?" ”
"It's true." Someone immediately retorted, "I have a clan brother who went to Jiangdong to sell cloth, and I heard that there is really no need to pay any poll tax over there, and the people over there seem to be quite rich, and any family can take out wine and meat to entertain guests, by the way, my clan brother has moved to Jiangdong with his family last year." ”
The young man on the big stone smiled and said: "What you say below is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can go to Jiangdong to take a look, but I dare to guarantee that if you go to Jiangdong, you will definitely not want to come back." After saying this, the young man said: "Here, you have worked hard for a year, and you still can't fill the stomach of the family, but in Jiangdong, you can not only fill the stomach of your family, but also dress your wife and children in new clothes, live in a new house, and you can drink wine and eat meat yourself, how beautiful should this day be?" ”
The words touched the heartstrings of many people, and some people asked at the moment: "But if we really go to Jiangdong, how can we support our wives and children when we have no land and no land?" You can't beg for food, can you? ”
The young man immediately replied: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you go to Jiangdong, you can immediately get ten acres of land, although it is not cooked land, but as long as you are willing to put in the effort, it is absolutely not a problem to feed a family, and after a few years, the raw land is planted into cooked land, then you will live a good life, hehe." ”
Now someone is really tempted: "Damn, I can't live this day anyway, so it's better to go to Jiangdong to count the ball." ”
Immediately, someone echoed loudly: "That's good, I really can't live here, Brother Heizi, when will you go, you say hello, and the little brother will go with you." ”
Someone took the lead, and immediately someone chimed in, and the crowd immediately stirred.
I have to say that the life of the people of Liang is indeed not very good, there are many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the land is also heavy, and from time to time they have to be looted by officers and soldiers, and it is a problem to support their families.
But at this moment, someone from the periphery of the crowd suddenly shouted: "Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are coming!" ”
Everyone hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, they saw a team of officials leading more than 100 officers and soldiers to rush over here, hundreds of people shouted and scattered away, and the young people on the big stone saw that the opportunity was wrong, and they also quickly got into the crowd to take advantage of the chaos, and when the officials and officers and soldiers arrived, there was already no one under the old mulberry tree.
The Ruyin County Lieutenant led by him was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he had nothing to do.
On the contrary, a small official next to him was more alert, and reminded the county lieutenant at the moment: "County lieutenant, the situation seems to be wrong, it seems that someone is spreading rumors everywhere in our county, encouraging these Diao people to flee to Jiangdong. ”
"Hmm." The county lieutenant had no choice but to say, "You can just watch and do this." ”
"Whoa!" The little official received the order, turned around and hurried away.

Dingtao, Liang Wanggong has become Han Xin's palace.
Lou Jing handed a secret letter to Han Xin and said respectfully: "King, this is King Zhao's reply. ”
Han Xin opened the envelope, took out the letterhead and hurriedly read it, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Zhang Ao and Guan Gao are still knowledgeable about current affairs, and they have not refused the widow's request for grain borrowing, but they only promised to give 300,000 stones, which is 200,000 stones less than the 500,000 stones that Zijin wanted, and it seems that they can only transport grain from Linzi." ”
Lou Jing nodded and said, "So far, it can only be like this." ”
Han Xin stroked the beard that curled up at the corner of his lips, and said coldly: "However, Zhao Guo only gave 300,000 stones, but it gave the widow an excuse to use troops. ”
While the two monarchs and ministers were talking, Su Weilang brought Cao Wei into the inner hall and said, "King, Zhao Junshi asks to see you." ”
"Hurry up, please." Han Xin said this, and said, "Also, in the future, there is no need to report if the military advisor asks to see him." ”
"Whoa!" Cao Yan took the order and left, and after a while, Zhao Yan hurriedly entered the study, saluted Han Xin and Lou Jing respectively, and then said with a solemn expression, "My lord, the minister has received a report from many counties, and in the past ten days, some people have spread rumors in various counties and counties in Liangdi, encouraging the local people to flee to Jiangdong.
