These things are indeed urgently needed by the Han Dynasty, but they all belong to the material level.

Of course, there are also people who raise deeper ideological questions.

"Nowadays, the whole country is mercenary, not thinking about the hardships of the people's livelihood, and it will be chaotic in the long run.

Therefore, what my Han lacks is the style of simplicity and benevolence. ”

This is in response to the unprecedented prosperity of commerce and trade after the opening of the Silk Road, and some of the Guizhou leaders ran into the cities to do business, or engaged in handicrafts, so they were worried that there would be no one to cultivate the land in the future.

Most of those who hold this view are Qingliu, who are worried about the country and the people, and often consider problems at the national level.

Liu Zhi has always admired this kind of person, but most of them have a shortcoming, that is, they are too radical and do not know how to be flexible.

Therefore, they are generally appointed as imperial historians, and most of them can enforce the law impartially and are not moved by power.

However, they are not suitable to be administrative officials, and it is easy to act according to their own standards, and it is difficult for them to stand on a fair stand.

"The Han Dynasty is now working hard to govern all kinds of wastes, but the yin and yang are out of balance, natural and man-made disasters are frequent, and the only thing that is lacking is the national fortune.

The minister suggested that His Majesty's southern suburbs worship the heavens and pray for the blessings of all the people. ”

The weakening of the Later Han Dynasty is a pessimistic statement that has been widely circulated in the world, especially in the last hundred years, most emperors have not had many heirs, natural disasters have continued, and plagues have continued.

These are things that cannot be changed by human beings, and there is really no other explanation for them except idealism.

In the past, before the official system was changed, one of the three princes would be removed from office every time there was a natural disaster and he would apologize to the world.

Liu Zhi also used this reason to dismiss Taiwei Huang Qiong, but this time the drought and the plague did not move.

Therefore, many people are worried that the disaster will become more and more serious, so they take this opportunity to exhort the emperor to open the altar to worship the sky, and by the way, remove one or two of the first-class officials, so as not to continue to rain disasters on Haotian.

Hu Guang, who made this suggestion, represented the idea of most old-school families who read Confucian classics but believed in the Taoist unity of heaven and man.

This is also the mainstream ideology of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it has a broad mass base.

Liu Zhi nodded, according to the convention, the mounds are sacrificed to the sky once every three years, one year to the sky, two years to the earth, and three years to the five directions.

The day of worship is on the winter solstice, and he just held a grand ceremony last year, and it stands to reason that it will be a year before the turn comes.

But now that the climate is abnormal and disasters are continuous, in order to calm the people's hearts, he should indeed make an exception to open an altar to pray for blessings.

As for the removal of characters similar to the Three Princes, let's think about it again and look at the situation.

However, at this time, he did not intend to discuss it, so it was better to solve the difficulties in front of him first.

"You're right, these are indeed what the big man lacks at the moment.

But I think that if I talk about the most important of them, it is unity.

If a country cannot work together as one in the face of difficulties, I am afraid that everything will be difficult. ”

Liu Zhi smiled, his tone was also very gentle, and the words he said clearly implied this group of courtiers.

When is it? You're still fighting with me for power here.

These behaviors may not be wrong in ordinary times, but they should do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, so they don't prioritize and have no sense of the overall situation, which makes Liu Zhi a little disappointed.

Since he came to power, he has carried out reforms in all aspects, from the imperial examination and the bureaucratic system to land policy, education, science and technology, and so on.

But now he has deeply realized that no matter how much he changes, he cannot change the thinking of the ancients from the ideological aspect.

"A few days ago, Tianzhu and the envoy of the poison asked to see me to discuss the matter of Ivory Bay."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, when did it happen? Why didn't they hear the slightest rumor.

However, since the trade routes were unblocked, a large number of merchants from the Western Regions often came to Jingshi, and if some of them had a secret mission, it was likely that they would not go through the formal channels of the imperial court, but would ask to see His Majesty through Long Linwei.

It was also said in the information circulated just now that Ye Diaoguo was controlled by Tianzhu merchants before, and now it has become the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they are naturally unwilling to give up their interests there.

"They want to pay for the development of Ivory Bay with our country, build the port, and then have partial ownership of the port.

Do you think I should say yes or refuse? ”

This......

As soon as this remark came out, some people were immediately moved, and His Majesty had already said that the budget for building a port and dredging Ivory Bay was as high as 200,000 yuan.

After several years of recuperation, Dahan's annual financial income is less than 900,000 yuan so far.

But in recent years, water conservancy has been greatly developed, the immigration policy has been subsidized, the frontier has been expanded, and military spending has been increased, which one does not need money?

Even so, His Majesty also reduced or exempted the people's taxes, which is usually fine, but this year there are frequent disasters, and they are immediately stretched to the limit, and they cannot make ends meet.

They all admit that the construction of the port is indeed beneficial to the empire in the long run, but even the first batch of 50,000 start-up funds cannot be borne by the state at present.

At this time, Tianzhu and the body poison voluntarily paid for it, but they only needed part of the port ownership, which was simply a good thing for pie in the sky.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how much money the two of them can contribute?"

It was the Ministry of Industry who asked the question, and you knew that he was in favor of him by listening to his tone.

"The two countries are willing to pay 100,000 yuan, and they only need one-third of the port ownership and the right to use Ivory Bay."

Liu Zhi's tone was calm, so that people could not hear any joy or anger, and simply explained the facts.

Doesn't it sound too good to pay half the money and only need one-third of the port ownership, Tianzhu and the body poison are all countries that are not profitable and cannot afford to be early, how can they suddenly be so generous?

Hearing the conditions that the emperor said, many people began to be alert, the Tianzhu people and the poisonous people have been doing business at sea for a long time, and they are definitely much more familiar with the benefits of it than the Han people.

In other words, the development value of Ivory Bay is definitely much higher than 100,000 yuan.

"Your Majesty, by no means! The ambition of the wolf son of these two countries, one of which is a small port, is afraid that it will leave hidden dangers in the future and provoke a war at sea. ”

Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows, and his tone was sonorous and powerful, which showed that his attitude was very resolute.

"That being said, but the state really can't afford to build the port now, and the minister thinks he can negotiate with them again.

When the time comes, the port will be stationed in the navy to manage, and on their own territory, are they afraid that they will set off some strong winds and waves? ”

It was the military department that spoke, although he said it domineeringly, but he didn't think about it, after all, he was not from an administrative background, and he was probably not familiar with some twists and turns.

Moreover, they still do not have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the military importance of Ivory Bay, and underestimate its role.

"It makes sense, and the minister thinks so......"

"No, even if you postpone it for a few years, you can't make a skin with the tiger, and when the time comes, it will only cause endless troubles......"

Before Liu Zhi could say anything, the ministers below were divided into several factions and began to argue skillfully.

Boredom raised his eyes to the sky, he knew that this would be the result, and they quarreled endlessly whenever there was a major event, and the opportunity was wasted.

So sometimes he would rather have a fight with them later than consult with them beforehand.

What about being arbitrary, as long as he can achieve his goal, what about being a tyrant, he is not an emperor who cares about reputation from the beginning.

The crowd quarreled for a while, and the two sides refused to give in to each other, and finally had to turn to the emperor for help, asking him to come to the Holy Judgment.

"I think that the construction of the port may as well be borrowed from chickens to lay eggs, not only to accept the shares of Tianzhu and Shenzhi, but also to build it together with any country willing to participate in this project."

This fluttering remark made everyone stunned at first, and then surprised by the case.

"Your Majesty's move is really wonderful, haha, so that none of them have the ability to compete with the big Han."

Liu Zhi continued: "The ownership of the port must not be sold, at most it can only be leased to them for use, and it must also abide by the rules of my big man. ”

The difference between renting and selling is very big, and it is completely different in nature.

"Although it is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, my big man can't pull out a dime, this time I transferred 10,000 yuan out of the household department.

If you have no objections, you will first allocate it to Cheng'en Gong, and in addition to part of it will be used for port construction, and the other part will be used to purchase a batch of grain in Nanyang. ”

10,000,000 yuan can build a port, and you can even give a boatload of grain, which is simply too cost-effective.

At this time, everyone had to admire, sometimes His Majesty's thinking was really sharp and jumpy, and they couldn't reach it.

At this point, an organized and premeditated investigation of the teacher disappeared like this, knowing that something was wrong, but the courtiers couldn't say it clearly.

On the contrary, he sang the praises of virtue and then dispersed, but Liu Zhi also promised that at the next court meeting, he would listen carefully to their opinions.

And the follow-up rescue methods will also be implemented after consultation with them.

The emperor has bowed his head and softened, and it is impossible for a courtier to be so blind, and continue to be unrelenting, of course, he will accept it when he sees it.

After sending off these courtiers, Liu Zhi was not in the mood to continue to review the chapters, pushed away the paper and pen on the case, and prepared to drive back to the harem.

These days he is busy with disaster relief affairs, he rests in the Zhongde Hall almost every night, and has not returned to the North Palace for a long time.

I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm going to evacuate and adjust my mood.

In the entire harem, his favorite was Concubine Tian Mi, and the first thing that came to mind was her, so he ordered him to go directly to the Spring Palace.

Thinking that I hadn't seen her for a few days, I couldn't help but have some expectations in my heart, and when I came to the door of the Spring Festival, I saw that it was quiet inside.

On a whim, he waved his hand so that the waiter at the door could not salute and report, wanting to surprise Tian Mi.

I walked to the edge of the dormitory, but I heard the child's cry inside, "Mother, hug Ah Sleeve, woo woo woo ......"

The crying was very sad and pitiful, Liu Zhi couldn't help frowning, what's wrong with Concubine Shu, the child is crying so sadly, why don't you want to hug it.

"Go away, it's all your fault, if you are a prince, how can Your Majesty be snubbed here, ......"

Tian Mi's tone was extremely disgusted, where was the slightest bit of motherly love, and Liu Zhi's face changed when he heard it.

Princess Wuyang Liu Sleeve was born prematurely, her body was weak, she was extraordinarily beautiful and lovely, and her temperament was also delicate, Liu Zhi has always loved this daughter.

I usually come here to see that Concubine Shu is also good to Princess Wuyang, but I didn't expect it to be pretended, and I hate my own flesh and blood so much behind my back.

For a moment, Liu Zhi suddenly felt as if he had never known Tian Mi, she was so strange at this time, and she was not the innocent girl with tenderness and water in his impression at all.

Is it really as said in the play, as long as she enters the palace gate, no woman can continue to be kind?

Liu Zhi, who was in a complicated mood, suddenly lost his interest in visiting her, and silently turned his head and walked out, but he didn't know where to go for a while.

Standing in the middle of the road and hesitating for a moment, he still went straight to Yong'an Palace, he hadn't seen his mother for some days, so he had to ask her old man to say goodbye to him while he was free today.

In Yong'an Palace, the Empress Dowager Yun smiled happily, the queen took the eldest princess of Yang'an, Liu Hua, and Concubine Geng also took her son Liu Wei there.

The two lively and cute children made the Queen Mother laugh constantly, and the mood was very comfortable.

Liu Zhi, who was originally in a bad mood, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, Liu Hua was performing boxing for his grandmother.

She is six years old this year, she has a clear eye for every move, she dances very seriously, and her little face is red and cute.

"Good!"

After a set of punches, the little girl looked at her grandmother and mother triumphantly, waiting for their praise, but she heard her father's voice and suddenly turned back in surprise.

Ruyan jumped into his arms like a forest, hugged his neck and called coquettishly, "Father, Ahua misses you." ”

"Hahaha...... Father also misses Hua'er. He kissed her round apple face.

Everyone hurriedly saluted him, Liu Zhi hugged Liu Hua in one hand, and beckoned to Liu Wei who was standing next to him.

This child is three years old this year, he looks like a tiger, his body is very strong, he is young, but his personality is much calmer than Liu Hua.

Seeing his father beckoning, he immediately walked over and saluted him clearly, "Avi to meet my father." ”

Liu Zhi patted him on the head, didn't hug him, just asked, "I heard that you have begun to read and write now?" ”

"Yes, Avi just started to learn literacy, and his grandmother taught him himself, but unfortunately I don't know much."

The little guy raised his face very seriously and replied, looking very cute.

You can get cash or coins by reading books, as well as iPhone12 and Switch are waiting for you to draw! Follow the VX public account to receive!

It seems that the Empress Dowager Yun attaches great importance to this eldest grandson of the emperor, and even taught him to read and write, but in her memory, her mother is also her own enlightenment teacher.

Now that the mother is full of children and grandchildren, with these little ones to take care of her, she no longer feels lonely and lonely.

"Avi is very smart, don't look at his young age, he can already recognize forty or fifty words."

Empress Dowager Yun took her grandson's little hand and said proudly.

It is already rare to be able to recognize forty or fifty words at the age of three, which shows that this child's personality is indeed too old.

Liu Zhi teased the two children for a while, and asked the queen some things in the harem, but turned his head and saw Concubine Geng standing quietly beside him.

From the beginning to the end, there is neither deliberate distancing, nor deliberately rushing to meet and please.

Seeing Liu Zhi looking at her, he smiled generously at him.

This smile made Liu Zhi suddenly realize that Geng Xian had become taller and more beautiful unconsciously, with the intellectual elegance of a mature woman.
