The convoy turned around and went straight to Changle Palace, the convoy was quiet and dull on the road, no one spoke, and the Son of Heaven fell into deep thought.

"How to reward?"

Wei Juan's carriage followed the Son of Heaven behind the car, and the person who was in the same car with him pinched his beard and frowned silently, not talking about the temperament of the Son of Heaven, it was difficult to reward the Marquis of Pingyang for building the capital, and there was a lack of unified standards for rewarding.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were very few people who did not make a marquis with military merits, among which the most famous was Xiao He, who was the marquis, his role was to sit in Guanzhong to supervise the transportation of money and grain, and to take charge of the rear government affairs, and to strive for more ample space for the army of the front-line battle.

Among Xiao He's several exploits is the construction of Chang'an City, the capital of the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, was destroyed in the war, and the new Han Empire needs a new capital that meets the identity, but Xiao He's meritorious title has nothing to do with the construction of Chang'an.

Liu Che was very worried in his heart, he knew his father's character too well, the heroes were close to each other, the close Prime Minister Wei Xuan, the Imperial Doctor was not suspicious, the predecessor Lang Zhongling Zhou Ren, and Wanshi Jun Shi Fen were very generous, and he had always treated the meritorious princes with a rare smile, and he couldn't tell how high his father's reward was.

"As is customary, the reward should not be very high."

Zhi Budo groaned: "Not necessarily, you didn't see the Son of Heaven praising Pingyang Hou along the way." ”

"It's only been more than half a year, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven has changed a lot, and we can't guess what the Son of Heaven really thinks."

"I don't know the attitude of the Son of Heaven, but I know that the prince's inclination is obvious, the Marquis of Pingyang must be rewarded heavily, even if the Son of Heaven does not reward him, the Son of Heaven will make up the reward, don't forget that the Shaofu is in the hands of the Marquis of Pingyang."

"Jiuqing! There is only Jiuqing. Wei Juan was extremely envious in his heart, thinking that he had worked hard for most of his life to get mixed with the three dukes, and his thirty years of official career were trembling like walking on thin ice, and he had to rely on the favor of the Son of Heaven to have the opportunity to come to power, and he could commit suicide in shame compared to the sixteen-year-old person who ranked Jiuqing.

Changle Palace was close at hand, and the Son of Heaven was still thinking.

The new capital of the empire is exquisite and extraordinary, the traditional craftsmanship of abandoning rammed earth and timber for work, replacing it with new buildings with masonry and lime whitewash, and it is important to recognize the contribution of the construction of Pingyang Hou, and more importantly, to complete the reconstruction of the capital within half a year, and the people maintain amazing peace during the construction process of the whole project.

There was no protest and dissatisfaction from the people, there was no armed suppression of the northern and southern armies, and there was not even the whipping that often occurred when they were forced to serve, although the people were not willing to serve the emperor for half a year, but this dissatisfaction had no more complaints under the good accommodation arrangements, and the conscription of food and shelter was almost up to the treatment of serving as a soldier and serving in the military.

The carriage turned a corner and entered the north of the city, which was adjacent to the palace area, and the hundred officials and ministers were still figuring out the attitude of the Son of Heaven, and they could not be blamed for their crankiness, rewarding Cao Shi had important political significance, which could not only test whether the great reconciliation proposed by the emperor before was a travel promise, but also draw from it what the emperor's attitude was towards the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The temple book "Tai Yi Jing" is something that has never happened in ancient times, too often Hou Li Pengzu like this even the old people in the etiquette system do not know what level of reward to prepare, saying that he is a great merit seems not quite right, but if there is no merit and it seems to be deceiving themselves, the courtiers are also heartbroken in order to draw up the reward, for fear that the reward of the Son of Heaven is not enough to chill Cao Shi's heart, so that the good things that are originally happy will become a weapon to attack the character of the Son of Heaven, and the original reputation of the Son of Heaven is not very good, and he can no longer bear the reputation to continue to be damaged.

The important ministers were very worried, and Liu Che was also very anxious, he was worried that his father underestimated Cao Shi, and getting along for almost a year made him know Pingyang Hou's ability very well, thinking that his father had just returned from Ganquan Mountain and didn't know the details, the prince's eyes rolled around and was anxious to find a way.

The Son of Heaven's car was quiet for a long time, until the car suddenly stopped just before it was about to enter the Changle Palace.

The silk curtain was opened, and the low and hoarse voice of the Son of Heaven came: "When the Taizhong doctor Pingyang Hou Cao, he built a Chang'an Temple, carried forward the Taiyi Sect and made great contributions, benefited from sealing 3,000 households, and gave 2,000 catties of gold. I'm also tired, so the princes scattered early! ”

The eyes of the hundred officials and ministers widened, and it was unexpectedly a reasonable high reward, Jiuqing's high position is the pinnacle of the world's admiration, and he was really rewarded.

Many people are sighing, the reward of the Son of Heaven is too reckless, this is to roast Cao Shi on the fire, how the Empress Dowager Dou of Changxin Palace will look at it is still unknown, in the case of the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and difficult to recover, people with a keen sense of smell among the hundreds of officials are speculating that the quiet Empress Dowager Dou in Changxin Palace may be waiting for the opportunity, and it is not necessarily a good thing for Cao Shi to be awarded Jiuqing at this juncture.

At the age of sixteen, Jiuqing created a new record of the youngest Jiuqing since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and the most surprising thing is that the reward is incredible, and the three thousand households are rewarded with 2,000 catties of gold to catch up with Chen Ping's reward of destroying Zhulu, and the wording of the Son of Heaven is to build Chang'an, build a temple, and promote the state religion.

The Son of Heaven wants to use the heavy reward of 3,000 households to sue the people of the world, and the credit of the state religion has already been rewarded, and in the future, don't talk about Cao Shi and the state religion, this is not only to cut off the indirect relationship between Cao Shi and the state religion, but also not a kind of disguised protection, too close to the gods is not a good thing for a political family, Cao Shi's involvement in the state religion will only affect the opinion of the Son of Heaven and the worldBesides, the Son of Heaven has even extinguished the idea of centralization, how can he allow the entanglement of politics and religion to occur.

3,000 closed households in exchange for the peace of mind of the people in the world, and it can also block the bad reputation of many people secretly scolding the emperor for being mean and unkind, who scolded him at the beginning swallowed all the original words, Cao Shiyi's sealing of 3,000 households is enough to slap many people in the face.

The car of the Son of Heaven slowly drove into Changle Palace, and before he knew it, it was time to lock the palace in the evening, and the door of Changle Palace slowly closed.

"Congratulations to Pingyang Hou for being ranked Jiuqing!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

……

"Qiyu Junhou, the handover of the Hou Mansion has been completed, and the Wen Shi is taking the two gentlemen to patrol around the Hou Mansion."

"Got it, I'll let the writer bring the two gentlemen to my study later."

Take off your official uniform and finally have an empty breath, since the Son of Heaven ordered him to be in charge of the Shaofu of Jiuqing, the days have become tighter and tighter day by day, the Shaofu is the royal treasury, in charge of the emperor's private small treasury, the royal manor, the royal minerals, and the royal industry are all included, and the net income of the Shaofu in just one year is more than 4 billion yuan, and the annual poll tax and field tax collected by the imperial court also love more than 4 billion yuan, and the comparison between the two is as if it is different.

With a net income of 400,000 gold a year, the emperor has his own money, so there is a lot of gold rewarded to his favored ministers every year.

The real power of Shaofu is very large, every year the adult male citizens of the Han Empire must serve a month of conscription, Shaofu is responsible for arranging the time and place of their conscription and the content of service, just like this year's conscription content is set in March, the place is Chang'an City, the content is to rebuild Chang'an.

He was also responsible for the construction of the imperial mausoleum and the repair of facilities, the famous Qin Dynasty Lishan Qin Mausoleum was built by Shaofu Zhang Han and his predecessors, and 700,000 prisoners were recruited to serve as free labor, and Jiujiang Wang Yingbu was even one of the prisoners, and even before the uprising of Taizu Liu Bang, he was escorting the prisoners to Lishan to build a mausoleum.

There are many things that Shaofu is responsible for, in addition to the artisan workshop to which the emperor belongs, the Lingyi system of the world's powerful people is also implemented by him, and even the output statistics of the world's workshops are also from Shaofu, and the workshops in Chang'an City have to act according to Shaofu's eyes, so you can imagine how much power he has and how much difficulty he encounters.

The piles of books must be carefully checked, the number of craftsmen must be checked repeatedly, familiar with the handicraft technical reserves in various fields of Shaofu, understand the annual project arrangement, personally supervise the construction progress of Yangling, etc., the total number of things adds up to twenty or thirty, even if he does not need to see everything, the believers have to know.

Fortunately, the Han system was strict and even brutal, and the officials of the Shaofu did not dare to disobey him, and the Shaofu had the right to dispose of any disobedient officials, and within two days of being sent to the Tingwei Mansion, he would enter the list of prisoners who were assigned to the border pass to repair the Great Wall.

Inherited from the Qin system, and then up is the torture of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, often dividing the offender by cutting his feet, cutting his nose, digging his kneecaps and even cooking human water into soup, and the great rebels want to raze the three tribes, and the neighbors in a village will be sat together, until the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the torture is gradually reduced, and it becomes full of warmth and beheading, abandoning the city, and beheading, and the people of the world are grateful for it.

Even if it is warm, but the Qin and Han systems inherited from ancient times still do not change the brutality, from beginning to end only the ruthless and cruel institutionalization to promote the empire forward, the powerful institutional force to promote the 36oo population of the empire to advance equally, in the whole process, whether the perpetrator is a prince, a prince or someone else, it is difficult to escape torture and beheading, the Han system is like this, there is no trace of warmth at all.

Cao Shi was not afraid of the subordinates making trouble, but he was worried about the new work, and it happened that the writer Fan Itguang walked in slowly with two middle-aged people.

Fan Qiguang smiled and said, "Junhou, the two gentlemen have been invited over by me. ”

"Meet the Prince."

"The two gentlemen don't have to be polite...... Cao Shi was taken aback: "Doctor Yuan, Tian Langguan, how can it be you?" ”
