In the first year of Yuanping, in the early morning of March 15, mid-spring had passed, but there was still a bit of winter chill in the air.

In the Fuyao Hall of the Changyi Palace, Liu He, who has sword eyebrows and starry eyes and slightly dark skin, is changing his clothes and hair under the service of several maidservants.

The furnishings and utensils in the hall are very exquisite, and the layers of clothes on Liu He's body are made of high-quality silk.

The touch of silk fabrics is indeed very smooth, but Liu He misses the soft and close-fitting cotton fabrics even more: "I don't know if everyone will be able to wear clothes made of cotton cloth next year." ”

After the maidservants skillfully helped Liu He get dressed neatly, they slowly withdrew from the Fuyao Palace.

The huge Fuyao Hall was deserted for the time being.

One night two years ago, Liu He, the former king of Changyi in the Han Dynasty, died suddenly in a dream after drinking three buckets of pepper wine.

So, another young man named Liu He traveled to this world.

More than 2,000 years later, Liu He was a mere librarian, and he didn't save a few dollars, but he read a lot of miscellaneous books day and night.

But even if he had a stomach full of useful or useless knowledge, it was still not easy for him to adapt to the life of the Han Dynasty.

Language, food, customs, rules...... It's hard to pass the pass, and you have to pass the pass.

It took Liu He more than half a year to get through the initial chaos.

It's a little regrettable that Liu He doesn't seem to have obtained any powerful golden fingers, but the books he used to read at random have become clearer in his mind.

However, Liu He is full of hope for the future, after all, in Chinese history, librarians are a magical profession that has created many miracles.

In the short time that Liu He was thinking about cotton cloth, Lang Zhongyu, who was about the same age as him, had already walked into the Fuyao Palace, saluted Liu He and said, "Your Highness, they are already waiting in the Changyi Palace." ”

"How many people are here today?"

"Eleven."

"Is Tian Bu stingy?"

"I don't see it."

This old fox, the fox's tail is about to be hidden.

Liu He secretly cursed this sentence in his heart, and then continued: "Okay, let's go to Changyi Palace." ”

"Yui!"

Liu He walked out of the Fuyao Palace, and seven or eight Lang Zhong confessors immediately lined up in front of and behind him - these people were close ministers who specially served Liu He, and they were all Confucian scholars specially selected for him by Lang Zhongling, and their duty was to assist and persuade Liu He.

Under their hug, Liu He strode towards the Changyi Hall in the south.

Compared with the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, the Changyi Palace is much smaller, but although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs.

The main hall, the side hall, the warehouse and the pavilions are not lacking, but they are lower than the palace in shape.

Such a luxurious palace was the standard in the lives of the Han princes.

But even with such a magnificent palace and the support of hundreds of thousands of people, the princes and kings were not happy.

Because from Emperor Xiaojing to Emperor Xiaowu, several generations of monarchs have been trying to suppress the princes and kings.

From the Tui En Decree to the Zuoguan Law, and then from the Zuo Guan Law to the Collateral Benefit Law, all of them were slashed at the necks of the princes and kings.

By now, the princes and kings have completely lost the political right to govern the feudal state, and only the economic right to enjoy the feudal state and taxes is left.

In the final analysis, the princes and kings at this time were just rich men with the blood of Emperor Gaozu.

Or to put it more cruelly, they are not even as good as those rich people.

At least ordinary rich people still have personal freedom, and they can go to live happily wherever they want; It is a felony for a prince to leave the feudal kingdom without being called.

What's more, the princes and kings are still under the surveillance of the imperial court all the time, and they may be expelled from the country at any time.

Under this impenetrable coercion, the princes and kings could only indulge in wine.

On the one hand, there was really nothing to do, and on the other hand, it was to reassure the county magistrate who ruled to the south.

Liu He vaguely remembered that there was a prince named Liu Sheng, who gave birth to more than 100 children in his life because he had nothing to do - of course, there were many "people who were not surnamed Liu".

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a vassal king, and even more so the kings of the Western Han Dynasty.

However, Liu He is quite satisfied with this start, the identity of the princes and kings can at least meet his various low-level needs, not to mention that two years later, he still has the opportunity to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty who dominates the fate of countless people!

Ironically, the Liu He in the original history only stayed on the throne for 27 days, and was abolished without sitting on the hot ass, and finally died in the deep palace as the Marquis of Haidu.

It's a wretch.

I gave him a chance, but he didn't use it.

Therefore, as soon as Liu He adapted to his new identity, he made up his mind that not only did he want to change his way of life, but also let the Han change his way of life, and let the people of the world change his way of life!

However, the current Liu He can't be reckless, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs, be careful of the one in Guangling, and be careful of the one in Chang'an.

Of course, holding the tail between the legs is the method, and being a human being is the goal.

playing idle chess, burning cold stoves; Taoguang is obscure, and then it is time to seize the sky.

This is Liu He's strategy and route.

From the Fuyao Hall to the Changyi Palace, it only takes half an hour to walk briskly, but Liu He took twice as long today, because he met many people who had already started working along the way.

Regardless of men and women, young and old, slaves or hired laborers, Liu He, who was only nineteen years old, had to stop, cross his waist and pull his throat, and chat with them for a few words.

"Heifu, how is the hemp grown in your family this year?"

"Back to Your Highness, everyone has used the method of deep cultivation of the next seed you taught, and the growth is very good, and it is estimated that you can harvest at least 30% more in autumn."

"Yes, yes, then your mother-in-law is so happy, after weaving the cloth, remember to send me a few horses, and I will take it all according to the price."

"Yui!"

"Concubine Zhang, is your youngest son back, I heard that a group of soldiers came back from Yuyang on the first day of last month."

"Back to His Royal Highness, Xiao'er has come back, he has also made meritorious contributions in the army, and now he is already a master."

"That's good, with this title, your life can be much better, right?"

"I got two houses and twenty acres of land, and there are one hundred hubari of millet every year, and life is finally better, but I am thankful that people can come back alive."

"In a few days, bring Jingmei over, there is still a shortage of a husband in the palace, see if he is willing to do it."

"No."

In a few words, Liu He is very much like the stupid son of a rural gentry who has not yet grown up.

Liu Hele is among them, and the subordinates are comfortable with it, and the officials are accustomed to it.

This is the smallest and most important of the many jobs Liu He has done in two years: treating people as people.

Only in this way can they be motivated and creative.

As another librarian once said, "The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of world history." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Liu He finally came to the Changyi Hall without hurry, and as soon as he appeared, the dozen or so officials who were whispering in the hall immediately changed their appearances and stood up, and the solemn hall suddenly quieted down.

As soon as Liu He sat down on the throne, these officials knelt down and bowed deeply to Liu He as if they were commanded, and shouted in unison in a long voice: "Ask the officials of the Changyi country." ”

"Everyone, don't be inhibited, let's just do as usual." Liu He said with a smile.

Officials are also human beings, so naturally they have to be treated as human beings.
