For the sorrow in Liu Ying's eyes, Liu Bang seemed to ignore it, hid the bloodstained handkerchief back in his arms, and motioned for Liu Ying to continue.

Seeing this, even if Liu Ying's mood had some ups and downs, she could only put her mood aside for the time being.

Chen Xuan and Lu Juan in the north and Yingbu in the south have all reported, and Liu Ying's report work has naturally reached the basic plate of the Han family: Guanzhong.

This is also the part that Liu Ying has paid the most attention to in the past year or so.

"At the end of last year, the son was ordered by his father to renovate the Zhengguo Canal at the beginning of this year; The Mid-Autumn Festival harvest has been completed, and the repair of the canal has begun to bear fruit. ”

"According to the Hou Hou, last year, the average yield per mu in Guanzhong was only two and a half stones, nearly three stones in Weibei and more than two stones in Weinan; However, at this age, with the benefit of the renovation of Zhengguo Canal, the yield per mu in Weibei is more than four stones! ”

"The yield per mu in Zongwei South is still only more than two stones, but in Guanzhong this year, the average yield per mu has been nearly three and a half stones."

"There are more than 900,000 households in Guanzhong, and many households have 100 acres of land; Therefore, this year's autumn harvest, Guanzhong got grain, nearly 340,000 stones. ”

"According to the tax rate of 'fifteen taxes and one' made by my father, this year, the prime minister's treasury should enter more than 20 million stone in agricultural taxes;"

"According to the mouth of 'Ding Hundred and Twenty Dollars', the Shaofu is in Guanzhong this year, and it is nearly 40,000 yuan when the entrance is counted."

After reporting the financial revenue of the Han Mansion and Treasury this year, Liu Ying's face couldn't help but swell with a touch of joy.

"In addition to the taxes from the government and the treasury, the monopoly of grain and rice in Shaofu has also been laid out in Guanzhong."

"According to the estimation of Shaofu: this year, the people of Guanzhong store grain in Shaofu as nearly 20,000 stones; According to the Shaofu to store grain on behalf of the people, take the storage fee of 'eleven', and store grain on behalf of the people, Shaofu can also make a profit of 20 million stones, and the agricultural tax in the treasury is the same! ”

"In addition to 'storing grain on behalf of the people', Shaofu can also resell nearly 10,000 stones of Guanzhong Grain in Kanto, and the profits are also huge······"

Hearing that Liu Ying talked about the profit forecast of Shaofu's 'government-run grain and rice', Liu Bang was not to the extent of smiling, and looked at Liu Ying with a touch of heartfelt joy.

A year ago, or even just half a year ago, Liu Bang still held a certain wait-and-see attitude towards the statement that 'the government grain and rice of the Shaofu government can make a lot of money'.

But this year, after seeing Liu Ying's technique in promoting the government-run grain and rice, as well as the 'acquisition' of granaries in various parts of Guanzhong, the purchase and sale of grain, and other matters, Liu Bang's views on this matter have changed dramatically.

——At the end of last year, Dai County Chen Xuan established himself as the king, for the chaotic Dynasty and Zhao; At that time, Liu Bang just wanted to go out to quell the rebellion, so he moved the little money that Prime Minister Xiao He had accumulated by searching and searching for it!

Not only that, but the entire Guanzhong, from the prime minister Xiao He himself, to the small officials without rank (less than 100 stones) in the year, have experienced nearly half a year of 'halving the salary'.

As a result, this year, the court not only settled the money that was 'owed' to the entire Guanzhong bureaucracy at the beginning of the year, but even Liu Ying barely touched even a grain of rice in the treasury when he went out to quell the rebellion!

But don't think that 'going out to quell the rebellion but not moving the treasury' is a trivial matter that is not worth talking about!

Since the Han Dynasty, the situation of 'whenever the princes rebel, the treasury will definitely be emptied' has long been the norm in the central part of Chang'an.

As for the fact that it was not enough to empty the entire government and treasury, as was the case last year, it was also necessary to temporarily appropriate the bureaucracy's money, but it was not unprecedented.

The most important thing is: last year, Chen Feng rebelled, Liu Bang only requisitioned more than 100,000 troops, which already overstretched the central part of Chang'an;

And this year, Liu Ying went out to quell the Yingbu rebellion, not to mention almost all the soldiers and horses that the Han family could recruit now, and even pulled out food to solve the food shortage in Qi and Chu!

Even putting aside 'how much grain and how much money the Shaofu can get from the official grain and rice', such a change alone is gratifying enough for Liu Bang.

——Since he was crowned King of Han, it has been twelve years, how could Liu Bang have fought such a rich battle?

It's just that a few years ago, in order to make up enough military funds to go out to quell the rebellion of the princes and kings, Liu Bang even ordered Shaofu to issue fake and shoddy currencies such as 'Han Half Liang'!

Now, less than half a year after the implementation of the policy of 'grain and rice for the government of the Shaofu government', the Han dynasty has developed from the past when 'the government treasury was poor and the rats had to be misappropriated to counter the rebellion', and even had to rely on printing money, especially 'fake money' to maintain order, to the extent that 'hundreds of thousands of troops went out to fight and spent several months quelling the rebellion, but they did not need the slightest effort from the national treasury'.

What made Liu Bang feel most pleased and relieved was that the grain and rice run by the government of Shaofu was not a one-shot deal, but a 'way to get rich' that flowed as well as taxes and taxes and could continue to bring income to the treasury.

Therefore, even if Liu Bang still has some slander in his heart that 'Liu Ying is not a perfect candidate for the prince', Liu Bang can be said to be 10,000 satisfied with Liu Ying just for the matter of the official grain and rice of the Shaofu.

- That is, Liu Ying is already the prince and his son, and Liu Bang has no reward and no seal.

If it is a foreign minister who proposes 'official grain and rice' and promotes this matter, then even if Liu Bang is reluctant to have a 'prince with a different surname', he will at least seal a 5,000-household marquis!

Full of recognition of the 'government-run grain and rice', Liu Bangzi didn't intervene much, only with a gratifying smile, watching Liu Ying heroically depict the blueprint he drew for the Han family.

"The ministers thought that the government of the Shaofu government and the government of grain and rice was enough to ease the emptiness of the government and the treasury a little; However, Guanzhong did not encounter the disaster of drought and flood, and in the future, there will be no more "boiling food prices" in Sanqin. ”

Modestly and proudly said this sentence of 'Guanzhong grain prices, since then stable as an old dog', Liu Ying did not indulge too much in the achievements that have been made, but naturally moved his eyes to the future.

"Only today, Guanzhong only has a great harvest of grain in Weibei, and Weinan has a small amount of grain, which is still less than seventy percent of Qin's."

"Therefore, I think that even if Weibei has benefited from the renovation of Zhengguo Canal, the water conservancy renovation and dredging of Weinan should also be put on the charter."

"Even if it is not good, it should also be in the winter of this and next year, and the existing water conservancy in Weinan will be renovated; When the government and the treasury are full, we will discuss the new water conservancy in Weinan. ”

"At the same time, the land of Kanto is poor and the grain production is insufficient, and the Kanto is too dependent on grain in Kanto; If you only feed the world with Guanzhong grain, you will still have the spare strength to feed in Guanzhong today, but in the future, you will eventually be overwhelmed. ”

"Although the land of Wenba and Shu is good, the soil is very fertile and the agricultural products are abundant, but because the road is blocked, there is no way to transport grain to Guanzhong and Kanto."

"Therefore, in addition to the renovation and dredging of Weinan water conservancy, and the construction of new canals, the land and waterway between Guanzhong and Bashu should also be discussed and planned by the court, so as to transport the grain of Bazhong and Shu to Guanzhong and Guandong."

Telling the manuscript in his heart, and bowing his head to recall, to make sure that there was no omission, Liu Yingcai bowed his hand to Liu Bang again, signaling that he had finished reporting.

And in front of Liu Ying, when he looked at Liu Ying and said, 'Although Weibei has a good increase in grain production because of Zheng Guoqu, Weinan is still not abundant', and 'In order to reduce the pressure on Guanzhong to feed the world, we should find a way to send out the grain of Ba and Shu', the prudence shining in Liu Ying's eyes, and the face of the Son of Heaven finally slowly swelled with a touch of nostalgia.

"Alas·······"

"It's not like me... Don't ······ me."

"So what?"

"Qin died and Han prospered, taxes and conscription have been light, wars and disputes have been eliminated, the people can live and work in peace and happiness, and everyone has their own ······"

"In the future, there will be no need for another Pei Gong ·········"

Sighing secretly, Liu Bang didn't forget to look deeply at Liu Ying's face that was obviously not like himself, but at this moment it was inexplicably exuding a heroic face, and the Son of Heaven couldn't help but shake his head and sneer.

"Hey ·······"

"Young Mu Ai's young teeth are actually doing this old child·······"

"It's good~"

"Although the lord is suspicious, he is young and old······"

"It's a blessing for the community·······"

Thinking like this, the Son of Heaven finally smiled lightly, withdrew his legs, and sat cross-legged on the futon.

But after a moment, the smile on the face of the Son of Heaven was replaced by a vague worry.

Because in addition to Chen Feng and Lu Juan in Kanto, and even Yingbu who has been defeated, as well as the infrastructure construction in Guanzhong, there is one more thing that makes the Son of God never let go.

It's just that it's not good to ask too directly·······

With his back to his deceased father's clothes and thinking cross-legged about Liu Ying for a long time, the Son of Heaven finally raised his head indifferently.

"Yingbu is the head, Chen Xuan's defeat is imminent, Lu Juan ·······"

"Even if it is on the precipice, there should be no reason for Wang Yanji."

With a complicated expression, he said this sentence 'Even if Lu Wan is cowardly, he must not continue to be the king of Yan', Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying's gaze, and quietly brought a touch of scrutiny.

"Peng Yue conspired against him and was punished, and King Jing was killed by thieves, and now the Kanto, Yan, Liang, Jing, and Huainan four kingdoms have no owner."

"The three kingdoms of Yan, Dai and Zhao are the first of the north wall of the Han Dynasty, but now they have to be the king of the year of the child, and the king of the year of the general horn of Ruyi."

"If Yan is the king of the unstrong again, the north wall may be ravaged by the northern barbarians and the risk of endless riding·······"

As he spoke, Liu Bang's gaze at Liu Ying became sharper and sharper, as if he wanted to see through Liu Ying inside and out.

"According to the prince's opinion, who should be the choice of King Yan?"

"Jing, Liang, Huainan, who should rule it?"

Hearing that his father asked about his views on the division of the Kwantung vassal states, Liu Yingzong had already had a draft, and his heart was also tight at this moment!

Because of the edict of the princes and kings, although theoretically speaking, it is a major event for the court to 'discuss with the people', the world to 'return to the expectations of the people', and even the queen mother (if any) to 'personally issue the edict', but in fact, it is completely decided by the Son of Heaven.

For who and where to be the princes and kings, not to mention ordinary people, courtiers and officials, meritorious marquis, and even princes, in most cases, even the promulgator of the edict, the queen mother herself, only has the right to suggest, but not the right to decide!

In this case, the Son of Heaven, who is obviously dying, asks the prince who is already in charge of the country about the issue of the princes and kings, and his intention is obviously not as simple as 'I want to hear your opinion'.

Especially in the Han family today, under the premise that almost all of the Liu clansmen who can be named the princes and princes of the clan are the sons of Liu Bang today, this problem is even more complicated.

- The Son of Heaven crowned his sons other than the crown prince, in a sense, it is the same nature to divide the family property with ordinary people!

On this issue, the prince, who has already tacitly 'eaten the big head', expresses his views on how much family property and which part of the other younger brothers should share, and it is easy to involve some human issues such as family, elders and children.

Thinking of this, Liu Ying finally understood: today's 'policy question', why did Dad choose here, in the temple of the late Emperor Liu Xuan.

- Because this is the most unlikely place in the world to 'have ears on the wall'·······

"Old man, I want to simply ask my younger brothers where to go······

"Or use this to test my opinion of Liu Ruyi·······"

Thinking about it secretly, Liu Ying finally tentatively opened her mouth and gave her opinion vaguely.

"Dividing the clan relatives to think that the princes are the things that the father and the emperor should approve, and the sons and daughters should not talk about it."

"However, my father occasionally asked, and my son's ministers dared to say ·······"

First showed his attitude of 'casually talking', and when the old man nodded with a straight face, Liu Ying cleared his throat slightly.

"As my father said, Yan, Dai, and Zhao are the first of the north walls of our Han family; If the three kings are not strong, or even crowned, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the Han family. ”

"Now, Dai, Zhao has been wishful, King Heng, King Yan's choice, and the father and emperor should think twice."

"The longitudinal swallow thistle, also with the prince of the unstrong sect, should also carefully plan the choice of the king, in order to make up for the king's youth."

vaguely pointed out that 'Yandi needs older princes, at least a reliable king', Liu Ying wisely moved the conversation away from Yandi.

But the Liang Di that followed closely behind was a sensitive area that Liu Ying didn't dare to 'speak his mind too freely'·······

"And Liang ·······"

"Uh-huh·······"

pretending to think hard, but in fact, he was entangled and muttered for a long time, Liu Ying finally gritted his teeth and gave his opinion with the most direct statement he could take.

"Liang State, located in the east of Luoyang and outside Hangu, is the gateway of Guanzhong and the humerus of Sheji."

"Therefore, my son thinks that those who are not the siblings of his father and the emperor, and who have a gentle temperament and are kind and kind, cannot be cured ······"

But when Liu Bang heard this, a touch of meaning suddenly surged on his otherwise indifferent face.

As a founding emperor who started almost from scratch and laid down the Han world step by step, it is impossible for Liu Bang not to know the importance of the Liang State.

But Liu Ying's advice to Liang Guo made Liu Bang feel very interesting.

Needless to say, siblings naturally refer to brothers;

As for 'gentle-tempered' and 'respectful', it is actually the younger brother - obedient.

But what's interesting is that Liu Bang's only younger brother Liu Jiao today is already the king of Chu who can't be beaten.

As the founding monarch of the country, Liu Bang did not need to send an obedient younger brother to Liang to be the king in order to ensure the stability of Guanzhong.

In the past, even the princes with different surnames, Peng Yue and Liu Bang, dared to be sent to be the king of Liang and show the gate to Guanzhong!

In this way, the deep meaning implied by Liu Ying's words is very intriguing.

- The state of Liang is very important, and it should send the siblings of the Son of Heaven, preferably an obedient younger brother to be the king.

But today's Son of Heaven Liu Bang doesn't need to do this at all.

In this way, the Son of Heaven who needs to guard the gate of Guanzhong through the 'obedient younger brother' is not the current Son of Heaven, but ·······

"Hey ·······"

"Fat, Heng, and Ruyi have all been sealed, and the remaining four are all young, and they are only a little longer and faithful."

"So ·······"

"Prince, I want to restore Wang Liang·······"
