For more than half a month, Liu Bang and his entourage had already gone to Luoyang. From Lantian in the Guannai to outside Wuguan, Liu Bang saw fertile fields for thousands of miles, and the farmers wore sheep's belly handkerchiefs on their heads and faced the loess to pick up the fields and harvest the wheat. Liu Bang sat in the middle of the chariot and watched the rows of sorghum millet swaying in the wind, as if the song of the people of Guanzhong was ringing in his ears, "...... A row of golden grain ears is cut out on the ridge, and a row of red sorghum is inlaid under the ridge; The guy on the hill tied up the sheep's belly hand towel, and the girl on the hill rolled up the red head rope; Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan that is better than the fertile grassland......" The song was still in his ears, and Liu Bang smiled and nodded with satisfaction. At the beginning, Liu Bangjun's ministers went out of Wuguan to Nanyang, and every time they went to large counties such as Luonan, Lushi, Luoning, Yiyang, etc., there were local officials, magnates, squires, celebrities or ordinary people who came up to bow to them, and the people wanted to stay in the local area for a few days, visit the local customs or economy, and wanted to hear the emperor's instructions to gain the local popularity in the surrounding counties. Liu Bang and others all politely talked warmly with the villagers, and educated the local Li people, the first thing is to convene the county guards or county commanders and cheng, and ask them about the number of local households, money and food, prison lawsuits, thieves, etc., and the county guards and county orders and ministers either calmly confront or play sloppy, and Liu Bang rewards them or removes them from their official positions. Every time Liu Bang and his entourage want to leave, the people stay, and they will gather everyone to drink to say goodbye that day. In this way, it is to patrol along the road to Luoyang, but the road is so lively, I have to refuse the enthusiasm of Li Min to inspect the next county, and it has been more than half a month after arriving in Luoyang.

Staying in Luoyang for a few days, Liu Bang first took Guanzhong and Luoyang officials to inspect dozens of surrounding counties in full swing, and each county was inspected, all of which were dissatisfied.

On this day, Liu Bang took Chen Ping, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo and others to inspect Longmen near Luoyang, and inspected the production of local pottery, silk weaving, smelting and casting, and lacquerware manufacturing. He also inspected the business courts of several wealthy local businessmen, who were not only politically unpleasant, but also local wealthy families, with tens of thousands of family assets, which led to the development of the local economy and culture. Liu Bang saw all the prosperity of Luoyang in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and sighed to himself: It is worthy of Zhou Dongdu! Not only Luoyang, but also everywhere is in the real recovery of the economy, restoring the peace of the world in the past.

The next day, Liu Bang and his entourage inspected the blacksmith village in the southeast of Luoyang, and as soon as the high-headed horse arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw three or two households of farmers in gray cloth and plain clothes carrying agricultural tools to the field, Liu Bang immediately decided not to enter the village first, so he followed these farmers to the field to check. Walking on the high ridge, looking at the fertile wilderness, you have thought of the future harvest scenery. Seeing that the farmers had some fruits and vegetables in the field, Liu Bang went over to greet them with a smile on his face, and when he walked in front of an old bald farmer, he bowed his hand deeply to him and said respectfully, "My generation has seen the elders. The officials behind him also followed Liu Bang and bowed deeply to the old farmer. The old peasant first had a slight flute, and looked at Liu Bang for a long time with a plow in his hand, only to see that he was wearing a black clean Hanfu, and his head was crowned with what the emperor had said that only nobles could wear. Liu's crown', and saw his long-accurate and long-faced extraordinary bearing, and then looked at the high-ranking officials and nobles who followed behind him, among which there was Luoyang County Linghe Blacksmith Village's Lizheng, seeing that several familiar officials showed respect and catering to the extraordinary man who was doing it in front of him, the old farmer had already guessed that he was the current emperor who went out from Guanzhong to patrol Luoyang a few days ago, but he didn't expect that the emperor had inspected the blacksmith village in an instant. The old farmer's eyes suddenly lit up, and the old man in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and hurriedly took a step back in a panic and bent over Liu Bang and bowed his hand deeply, "I don't know that Your Majesty has arrived, and the crime is also a crime." Liu Bang smiled and helped up the old farmer, and asked him about the situation at home, the number of cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens in the field, whether the village was harmonious, and whether there was any dissatisfaction with the Luoyang County Order or the village Lizheng, Liu Bang was afraid that the old farmer would not be able to tell the truth to the county order and Li Zheng and planned to ask him to retreat, but the old farmer waved his hand to stop, saying that the blacksmith village had developed the local iron smelting industry under the leadership of Li Zheng and others, and developed the local lacquerware manufacturing industry under the leadership of the county order. Liu Bang was suspicious, on the way to the blacksmith village, he occasionally heard about the deeds of the blacksmith village, originally a dilapidated small village, the family could not afford to eat food, relying on some local relief in Luoyang to live, when the Nanyang wealthy Kong heard the situation of the blacksmith village when he passed Luoyang to do business, he paid his own money to subsidize the blacksmith village for half a year, Kong suggested to Luoyang County Linghe blacksmith village is suggesting that it is better to develop the ironware and lacquerware manufacturing industry according to the place, in order to change the embarrassing situation of the blacksmith village, Luoyang County Decree took Kong's suggestion to convene people and horses to develop the blacksmith village in only one or two years to be self-sufficient, and there are fields, cattle and sheep, etc., and it is no longer a dilapidated village that relied on relief to eat, and now the blacksmith village is grateful for the care of the blacksmith village by the wealthy family of the Kong family, so it will build the ancestral hall of the Kong family in the village to commemorate the good deeds of the Kong family, but a few months ago the emperor ordered the rich people and local celebrities in the Kanto region to move into Guanzhong, and the Kong family is also in the list of migrants. The old farmer told Liu Bang excitedly about the development of the blacksmith village, and greatly praised the good deeds of the Kong family in Nanyang, Liu Bang was also a little moved after hearing it, and he had always heard that the merchants and others only valued interests and ignored others, but I didn't expect this Kong family to be very kind, Liu Bang nodded silently in recognition of this unseen wealthy Kong family.

The sun is getting out, and the early summer sun is already scorching in the morning. The old farmer invited Liu Bang and others to sit under the mulberry forest on the ridge, and there was a sand fruit tree growing next to the mulberry forest, and the warm sunlight was scattered on everyone through the gaps in the leaves. Liu Bang asked the old farmer if the local women also raised silkworm reeling silk, the old farmer's deep face was squeezed into folds by the smile, a pair of cloudy old eyes flashed vitality and happiness, and came eloquently, "The female children in our village are all good at it, if they weave clouds and brocades, they pick mulberry and raise silkworms every day and pick the pole and weave cloth, the men are all wearing the skillful works of the female babies, the female babies are in charge of housework, the men are ploughing the fields, the imperial court is light in the taxes and taxes, and there is surplus money at the end of the year. When the old farmer said this, he was overjoyed and solemn, looked at Liu Bang with gratitude, and suddenly got up and knelt in front of Liu Bang and arched his hand, "The world is bitter, Ziyu is tyrannical, Han is meritorious, and Emperor Zuo is the emperor; Huang Lao does nothing, and the world is silent. On behalf of the villagers, the grass people thanked His Majesty Hongenhyde. With that, he knocked his head on the ground three times. Liu Bang was shocked, and all the ministers got up to help the old farmer, Liu Bang held the old farmer's hand with both hands, looked at each other but was speechless for a long time, Liu Bang's eyes had already flashed red, which was a kind of touching. After a while, Liu Bang clasped the old farmer's hands and swore, "Governing the country, loving the people, being faithful, and tolerant, the widow does not dare to learn to be the king of all the people. The old farmer 'woohoo-', looked at the blue sky and laughed, "There is a king in the world, why not be rich?" The old farmer shook Liu Bang's hands in the near future, with a meaningful encouragement, "The foundation of the Han family is prosperous, and you want to do it." Liu Bangshen nodded.

The old farmer was very happy, and immediately wanted to invite Liu Bang and others to eat at home, Liu Bang politely refused, from the old farmer alone, you can see the situation of the entire blacksmith village, and thought that he would go to other places to inspect and politely refused the old farmer, the old farmer was happy, and he hated to call the whole village to meet the emperor who was more like a peaceful elder. Seeing that the villagers in other places in the ridge were picking up the fields, the old farmers called them over, the villagers all looked at Liu Bangjunchen in a different way, I don't know who it was, the old farmer did not introduce the emperor and the minister in front of him to the villagers, the old farmer told the emperor not to go and wait in place for a while, then he led the villagers into the mulberry forest behind him, and a tea kung fu came out again, but everyone was wrapped in a mulberry fruit with a coat in their arms, the brown of the mulberry dyed the clothes of several farmers, and the simple smile of several old farmers moved Liu Bangjunchen, I was deeply moved by the frustration. The old farmer led the villagers to stand in front of Liu Bang, grabbed a handful of mulberries picked in his arms and gave them to Liu Bang to eat, "Mulberries, delicious, quench thirst, moisten the intestines and invent the eyes, eat quickly." Liu Bang was moved in his heart, smiled and took the mulberries caught by the old farmer and ate them, and felt sweet and moist in the mouth, Liu Bang smiled, "The delicacies and delicacies are all tired of eating, and then taste the simple mulberry fruit is really the best." This is a folk holy fruit, and all the public can taste it. Several peasants also caught the mulberries in their arms and gave them to Liu Bang's ministers to eat, and the ministers all said that the fruit was a holy fruit, sweet and delicious. The old farmer and the other villagers were very happy and proud to see that the guests liked to eat.

Came to the blacksmith village ridge has passed an hour, see that the sun has risen to the old high, Liu Bang wants to go and politely said goodbye to a few old farmers, Liu Bangjun and his ministers have been on the horse, the old farmer led several farmers in the same village to run, holding the mulberry in his arms to Liu Bang, "I must accept it, the sweetness of the mulberry is not as sweet as the people's heart." Liu Bang agreed, asked his entourage to accept the peasants' mulberries, and gave the old farmer a hand on the horse.

"Driving-" Everyone raised their whips and rode their horses and galloped away, and dust rose on the ridges behind the horses, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared from the sight of several farmers. The villagers were curious when they saw that the old peasant was respectful to the extraordinary, so they asked who the guest was. The old peasant smiled respectfully and admiringly, looked at the disappeared Liu Bangjun and ministers, and said slowly, "The ruler, the monarch of the Han Dynasty - Liu Bang." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was in an uproar, staring at each other and couldn't believe that it was Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had just seen.
