"Historical Records: Gaozu Benji" contains: In the summer of the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty, in June (thirteen), the prince went out of East Chang'an and returned to Fengpei to worship his ancestors; Emperor Gaozu ordered the three captains of the Southern Army to accompany him, and Qu Cheng Hou Worm was personally guarded, and Hou Lu Shizhi was built to accompany the prince.

As for what happened afterward, in the pen of Taishi Gong, it became 'Prince Yingbuzhi returned to his hometown and had evil thoughts, and raised troops against Huainan'.

Liu Ying didn't know anything about the afterlife.

Sitting in a brand-new chariot that always revealed a murderous atmosphere, looking at the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle that were gradually blurring behind her, Liu Ying was excited, and couldn't help but feel a burst of comfort in her heart.

"Whew~"

With a long sigh of relief, Liu Ying didn't forget to smile at Lu Shizhi on his side, and then his light gaze moved towards the endless fields on both sides of the straight road.

"Since the second year of the Han Dynasty, my father was defeated by Xiang Yu under Pengcheng, and the first emperor and queen mother were also imprisoned by Xiang Yu."

"And Lonely, since the second year of the Han Dynasty, since his father settled in Guanzhong, he has never been far away from Chang'an for more than 100 miles, and so far, it has been nearly ten years······"

In a very embarrassed tone, he said these words of recollection, and Liu Ying's face couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Shizhi also seemed to remember some unbearable past, so he only lowered his head with a stiff smile and did not say anything more.

In the second year of the Han Dynasty, the battle of Pengcheng in Chu and Han only meant a complete fiasco for the vast majority of founding fathers!

The allied army of the princes led by Liu Bang had 560,000 soldiers and horses, and was chased and cut by Xiang Yu with 30,000 elites from Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, all the way to Xingyang!

The first emperor Liu Xuan, Lu Wen, the prince of Lü, and the queen of Han at that time, Lü Pheasant, were all imprisoned by Xiang Yu!

On the way to the rout, Liu Bang, the king of Han himself, kicked the current Luyuan princess Liu Le and the prince Liu Ying sisters and brothers out of the carriage several times, just hoping to escape as soon as possible······

For Lu Shizhi, who was ordered to guard the side of Emperor Xiantai, Emperor Lü, and the Empress, and then fell into the hands of Xiang Yu at that time, the battle of Pengcheng only meant one thing.

——The late Zhou Lu Lingwu Marquis Lu Ze, forced the palace to establish a prince on Liu Bang's way to escape, and took the right name!

This move finally made Liu Bang helpless, and after collecting the rout, he immediately canonized Liu Ying as the crown prince of Han.

It was also from that time that Zhou Lu Ling Wuhou Lu Ze completely lost the label of 'credible' in Liu Bang's heart······

"Alas······"

With a short sigh full of grievances, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then turned his gaze to Liu Ying's face without a trace.

"If you see the prince of today, if your brother has a spirit in heaven, you should also look ······"

Liu Ying didn't know anything about Lu Shizhi's gaze towards herself, as well as the expectation in her eyes.

As for 'Lone has been in Chang'an for ten years', it was just Liu Ying's casual remark.

——In the second year of the Han Dynasty, that is, ten years ago, Liu Ying, who was appointed as a prince for Liu Bang, was only five years old!

For Liu Ying, the little prince who had just experienced 'being repeatedly kicked out of the carriage by his father' at that time, was completely in the control of the Han family, and it was undoubtedly the safest place in the world!

Besides, I said: In the past, Liu Ying entered the customs, what happened to the current Liu Ying?

What really made Liu Ying issue this sentence 'I have been in Guanzhong for ten years and have never left Chang'an' was actually the time when Liu Ying was 'imprisoned' in Weiyang Palace as the Son of Heaven······

"Whew~"

"In this life, it should be different······"

Turning his head sideways, he looked at the guards of the Southern Army who were in full armor and neat in appearance behind him, and subconsciously touched the wooden box containing the tiger talisman in his arms, Liu Ying only felt a sense of peace of mind in his heart.

"In this life, it will definitely be different!"

"Definitely ······"

·

When Liu Ying took the new chariot given by Liu Bang and embarked on the long journey of 'returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors', in Changle Palace, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, was also packing on the hour and was about to set off.

——With the gradual recovery of Chang'an, Liu Bang's wind chill at the beginning of spring has gradually healed.

But with the quiet arrival of midsummer, the sultry Chang'an always makes Liu Bang feel irritable!

After all, the Han family is in its eighth year.

But after becoming the Son of Heaven, Liu Bang basically didn't have a few days of peace.

The successive rebellions of princes with different surnames in the eastern part of the country also made Liu Bang, the son of heaven, physically and mentally exhausted, and exhausted the only remaining vitality.

Up to now, almost every time he woke up from the couch in the dormitory of Changle Palace, Liu Bang felt as if he had been closed by the ghost gate, and finally luckily returned to the world.

Coupled with the deteriorating physical condition, the brows of the imperial doctors in the palace have become more and more tight, and Liu Bang also understands: he should not have many days left······

Feeling that there is not much destiny left, the Son of God also wants to take advantage of the last time of his life to enjoy a moment of peace.

And in the middle of summer in June, Ganquan Palace, located nearly 200 miles north of Chang'an, is undoubtedly a good place to go.

Soak in the hot springs, enjoy the beauty of the mountains and forests, stay away from the trivialities of the court, and recuperate your body, not to mention, you can also make your physical condition slightly better, and live for three or two months.

As for the affairs of the DPRK and China, anyway, there is Prime Minister Xiao He staring at it, and it has been so many years, and nothing has gone wrong.

Looking at the busy palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, and then revering a little in the next few months, his leisure time in Ganquan Palace, the corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth also quietly hung a faint smile.

But soon, that light smile that had not appeared for many years was replaced by a wry smile with an old figure that appeared at the temple gate······

"Prime Minister He ······"

"Free courtesy~"

Without waiting for Xiao He to say his words of worship, he saw Liu Bang waving his hand with an easy-going hand, turned around with his hand, and sat back on the royal couch.

"When he comes, he sits down and talks."

Feeling the easy-going nature of the old man, and faintly revealing a little tired gaze, Xiao He only bowed his head and smiled, and knelt down on the feast not far from the imperial couch.

After a while, the tone of the old man full of feelings came into Xiao He's ears again.

"Old~"

The two words fluttered lightly, which provoked Xiao He to raise his head quietly, and saw Liu Bang pointing at Xiao He playfully, and not forgetting to point to the gray beard under his chin.

"Since the rebels are abundant, more than ten years have been ······ in the blink of an eye"

"In the past, the chief of the Bishui Pavilion has become the ancestor of the Han Dynasty today; At that time, the chief official of Pei County Peng is now also the nobles of the Han Dynasty. ”

"It's a pity that the years go by······"

As he spoke, Liu Bang only lowered his head a little lonely, and let out another long lament.

When Xiao He also smiled lightly and nodded slowly, Liu Bang finally shook his head and smiled, and then looked at Xiao He with a joke.

"Just say it."

"What's the matter, that you actually made the Marquis personally enter the long letter and visit me in person?"

Hearing the banter in Liu Bang's tone, Xiao He couldn't help but smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao He finally lowered his head, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and handed it to the temple man beside him.

"Your Majesty."

With a low command, the temple people hurriedly turned on the cloth bag, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and sent the cloth bag to Liu Bang.

Seeing Xiao He's posture, Liu Bang was not in a hurry, but took the cloth bag slowly.

"Money?"

Subconsciously flipped the cloth bag, and heard a pleasant sound of coins colliding, Liu Bang couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyebrows.

opened the cloth bag and took out a coin casually, and Liu Bang's face finally swelled with a signature serious color.

"Hmmm······"

After frowning and looking at it for a while, Liu Bang finally raised his head with a stiff face and looked at Xiao He with a little embarrassment.

"Han half tael?"

When Xiao He smiled bitterly and nodded, Liu Bang only frowned tighter, and simply turned the money bag upside down, and poured all the coins in the bag on the imperial case in front of him.

As far as Liu Bang could see, on the imperial case in front of him, there were nearly 300 'copper coins' with similar appearances.

Like Qin Banliang, these hundreds of copper coins are also round square holes.

However, compared with the diameter of more than one inch, the square hole of the inner hole does not exceed three (1) long and wide Qin half taels, and the outer diameter of these hundreds of 'copper coins' in front of Liu Bang does not exceed half of Qin half taels, that is, five points.

On the contrary, it is the square hole in the money, which seems to be bigger than Qin Banliang!

What made Liu Bang's brows furrow the most, and his faint embarrassment was that the front of these 'copper coins' that exuded silver-white light was also engraved with the word 'half tael' like Qin Banliang.

It is precisely these two words that make the 'Han half tael', which weighs significantly no more than three baht, legally have the face value of 'half tael', that is, twelve baht.

The difference with the smooth and flat back of Qin Banliang is that the back of these hundreds of coins is engraved with the word 'Hanxing'······

"No wonder ······"

"It's no wonder that Shaofu fuses and casts half a tael of Han, and you can get ten times the profit······"

With a gloomy face, Liu Bang only pursed his lips, looked at the hundreds of coins on the imperial case, and fell into thought for a moment.

In the past, Liu Bang only roughly knew: Shaofu melted Qin half a tael, and cast Han three baht, which could indeed achieve the purpose of 'money making money'.

But it wasn't until today, after witnessing the true face of 'Han Ban Liang', that Liu Bang clearly perceived: why did the three baht money completely lose its credit in just two or three years.

Needless to say, at this moment, the hundreds of three-baht coins lying in front of Liu Bang's eyes, the weight and materials that are different from Qin Ban's two days, just talking about it is enough to explain everything.

——The money bag handed over by Xiao He is only the size of a palm!

Although Liu Bang has not seen much money since he became the King of Han and even the Son of Heaven, in the first half of his life, which is not a success, Liu Bang has not dealt with coins.

This also made Liu Bang clearly know: A money bag of this size, if it is Chu money from the Warring States Period, can probably hold 100 to 120 pieces.

If it is used to hold Qin half taels, it can be loaded with fifty pieces if it is dead.

And now, Xiao He used such a palm-sized cloth bag to hold at least 300 'Han and a half taels'!

It's not even full!!

This is already very telling.

"Hmmm······"

After a gloomy moan for a moment, Liu Bang finally frowned and raised his head, looking at Xiao He with a dark gaze.

Although he didn't speak, Liu Bang looked at Xiao He and clearly wrote these words.

- Tell me, what should I do?

Seeing Liu Bang's statement, although Xiao He's face was still light, but secretly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before entering the palace, Xiao He's biggest worry was undoubtedly that after seeing the true face of 'Han Banliang', Liu Bang began to pretend to be confused again, and even blamed the Shaofu officials for 'minting money'.

At this moment, after confirming that Liu Bang was willing to accept the show, and did not pretend to be confused anymore, but vaguely revealed the intention of 'how to solve this problem', Xiao He's hanging heart finally quietly landed.

Bowing his head and muttering for a moment, he worded the draft that had been prepared a long time ago, and Xiao He bowed his hand to Liu Bang with a little solemnity.

"Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty."

"The disadvantages of three baht of money were mentioned by the ministers at the beginning of the year."

"However, at that time, Chen Feng was in chaos, Zhao, His Majesty was about to drive the conquest, and the prince was ······"

stopped talking pointedly, and when Liu Bang bowed his head slightly, saying, 'I understand', Xiao He turned the conversation again.

"Your Majesty will go on an expedition and order the crown prince to supervise the country."

"At the beginning of spring, the price of grain in Guanzhong is boiling, and the prince has planned the official policy of grain and rice."

"At that time, the prince once said to his ministers: he wanted Shaofu to replace the grain merchants and mijia in the past, buy grain for the people in the autumn and save it, and then delay the sale of it to the people at the age of one year."

"However, in the end, the prince thought of the disadvantages of the three baht money, so he had to suspend this idea, and instead planned to 'get a warehouse and store grain on behalf of the people, so as to get the storage fee'."

"And when the prince excludes the grain merchants and mijia in Guanzhong, and gets the rice and grain of the grain merchants, or the goods of rice and grain to the people, he clearly orders the Shaofu: no matter whether it is goods or purchases, it is not allowed to collect or use three baht!"

"In this way, the production of grain and rice from the government of Shaofu has been made, and the peak of grain prices in Guanzhong has gradually slowed down······"

said this with a calm face, and Xiao He's face even had a slight palpitation!

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.

As an old prime minister who has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty for many years, Xiao He really knows too well what the results of the soaring food prices in Guanzhong will lead to at the beginning of spring······

If it weren't for Liu Ying's tough push for the 'grain and rice official camp', and the stubborn 'grabbing' of the grain in the hands of the grain merchants, so that the grain price would return to the normal level, at the end of the year, autumn and winter, the entire Guanzhong would inevitably be a miserable scene of the people living in poverty and mourning!

If it's just 'the hard work of the people this year', then it's okay, it's just labor pains, and sooner or later it will pass.

What really frightened Xiao He was that a few years ago, the scene of the rice stone in Guanzhong being worth 8,000 yuan and the cannibalism of the people and the people may be staged again in Guanzhong!

If such a tragedy really happens, then Xiao He will take the blame and step down, and the evening will not be guaranteed, I am afraid that which horn Gada, a 'certain victory and a certain Guang', will rise up and 'destroy the tyrants'······

It is true that in order to avoid such a situation, even if there is no Liu Ying's 'grain and rice official camp' policy, Xiao He will inevitably take some measures.

But even so, Xiao He has no confidence at all, and it seems that the boiling of food prices this time has never happened to this point.

This also makes Xiao He naturally have an endless good impression of Liu Ying's official policy of grain and rice.

And Liu Ying, because of the existence of three baht money, had no choice but to put aside the 'official' part of the grain and rice official policy, and used 'storing grain on behalf of the people' as an expedient measure, which also made Xiao He feel the same way.

In order to put the grain and rice official policy on the right track as soon as possible, and in order to fulfill Liu Ying's entrustment when he was leaving, Xiao He could only bite the bullet and use his detached position to say the words that would inevitably appear and should have been passed into Liu Bang's ears a long time ago······

"Today, Your Majesty also knows the disadvantages of Han half taels: although its name is 'half taels', it is actually only three baht of lead money!"

"Now the prince's official grain and rice, so that the Shaofu can store grain, and there is no shortage of grain and grass in the collection."

"Therefore, the courtier's will: Your Majesty may be worried about the waste of three baht and the prohibition of private minting!"

With a resolute expression, Xiao He finally kowtowed.

"Minister! Death for a hundred years! Suddenly, suddenly, ······"
