Liu Zhang combed his hair and changed into clean clothes.

arranged things at home, and arranged more artificial robots in the house.

To ensure the safety of his family, as soon as he got dressed, Zhou Peng sent him 10,000 simulated human robots and simulated robot horses.

Now he has 30,000 humanoid robots and robotic horses, allowing him to form a small cavalry.

In case of falling out with Liu Che, this has the ability to compete.

The simulator robot can be one to a hundred, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong.

That is to say, Liu Zhang had 30,000 cavalry.

The emperor has to be afraid of seven points, you must know that now the Han Dynasty has only barely formed 100,000 cavalry.

Liu Zhang felt that Zhou Peng was interesting enough, and he also considered him everywhere.

He was sent a lot of things, and told him to be more careful of the recent traversers.

The last batch that crossed over, for some reason, made them lose their memory.

This time you may keep most of your memories, and once you encounter it, you have to hide your identity as a traverser.

If there is a threat to his safety, kill them without hesitation.

They still came to help their ancestors and give their family a reputation.

Liu Zhang finished reading the letter sent by Zhou Peng, and it was time for him to hide as a traverser.

Later, he will report to Liu Che and reflect what he has seen and heard along the way.

In particular, the pirates in the coastal areas of the Han Dynasty should be exterminated as soon as possible.

Liu Zhang came to the outside of the mansion, and the carriage was also prepared in advance.

Although he would love to spend more time with his family, he now has something to do.

As soon as Liu Zhang left, Princess Tao sent someone to pick up Chen Yun to her mansion as a guest.

Chen Yun didn't want to go, she still had to wait for Liu Zhang to come back and have dinner together.

So she asked the artificial robot to go for her, and she knew that the princess of the pavilion Tao was not happy to do this.

But she can't make the other party unhappy, and with the simulator robot, it really saves her a lot of worry.

Liu Zhang came to the outside of the palace gate, which made him feel so familiar.

He was very familiar with the way to the Linhua Palace, which was the place where the emperor and his ministers had a small meeting.

Zhang Rang arrived almost at the same time as him, and Gongsun Hong's carriage arrived later.

He had come to report something to the emperor, and the three of them followed the chamberlain to the Linhua Palace.

They went outside the temple and gave the accessories to the chamberlain for safekeeping.

They took off their shoes and entered the hall, and Liu Che came to the Linhua Hall in advance to wait for them.

They wanted Liu Che to salute, but Liu Che raised his hand lightly and asked them to be exempt.

The next thing is to talk about the right thing, and let Zhang Rang and Liu Zhang report the situation successively.

"You have done a very good job of getting acquainted with North Korea for the first time, so tell me your views."

Liu Che had already learned about their performance in Wei's North Korea, so he asked them to report it.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Youqu's attitude towards the Han is not resolute. He and those subordinates were very afraid of the Xiongnu, and they greeted the Han and Xiongnu envoys differently. ”

Zhang Rang reported the situation first, and Wei Youqu would definitely continue to cooperate with the Xiongnu.

Let the Xiongnu dissipate their anger, and they will not offend the Han Dynasty.

This envoy did not gain much, but only asked Wei Youqu not to oppose the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty had one less enemy, and could concentrate its forces against the Xiongnu in the future.

"Liu Zhang, what do you think about this?"

Liu Che asked Liu Zhang to express his opinion, and he was on the Wei side of Korea during that time.

Killed a lot of Huns, and performed very well in Wei's Korea.

It maintained the dignity of the Han Dynasty and also deterred Wei Youqu and others.

"Chen was worried that he would mess things up and affect Dahan's future strategy. Wei Youqu and others were treated differently, and the minister was really a little angry. ”

Liu Zhang was indeed very angry, is it really so difficult to treat them equally.

Fear of the Xiongnu, but not fear of the Han Dynasty, this kind of thinking is very abnormal.

You must know that the Han Dynasty could attack Wei's Korea from both directions by water, while the Xiongnu could only invade Wei's Korea from the north.

The cavalry of the Xiongnu could no longer give full play to the best advantage of Wei Korea, even if it was engaged in foot combat.

is not as strong as the Han army, and Wei Youqu must have many ministers who are close to the Xiongnu faction.

Of course, Wei Youqu had to listen to them, although he was the king of Joseon.

He didn't hold most of the power, if he killed the powerful ministers.

It will inevitably make Wei's North Korea internal turmoil, and Wei Youqu's life will not be saved.

The Joseon King generation is not as good as the generation, and it has reached the generation of Wei Youqu.

That is, the last monarch of Wei's Joseon, Liu Che had not invested most of his forces to deal with the Xiongnu.

He was definitely going to destroy Wei's Korea, but Liu Che still endured it.

"You have been wronged over there, and you have worked hard, and I will reward you."

Liu Che was very satisfied with their performance in this mission to Wei's North Korea, and naturally gave them some rewards.

"This is a matter within the minister's responsibility, not a grievance."

The two said in unison that they wanted to maintain the dignity of the Han Dynasty.

Even if they are wronged, it is worth it, at least they come back alive.

Envoys are very dangerous tasks, although temporary.

If they were killed in the country of the envoy, their families were rewarded by the emperor.

Even when their lives were in danger, there were many people who were willing to go to other kingdoms.

"I'm going to Hui'an a little bit during this time, and the Xiongnu are already dissatisfied with Wei's Korea. Although we will not interrupt our business with them, it is impossible to cooperate with other parties. ”

Liu Zhang analyzed the next situation of Wei's Joseon, and they either sided with the Han Dynasty.

Either remain neutral, and there must be no military cooperation with the Xiongnu.

Wei Youqu knows very well that the potential of the Han Dynasty is much greater than that of the Xiongnu.

Although he was capricious, he was not stupid and ostensibly submitted to the Han Dynasty.

In fact, he would not pay tribute to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the good things naturally had to be kept for himself.

"As long as he doesn't cooperate with the Huns to deal with the Han, don't worry about the rest for the time being."

Liu Che still has the amount of tolerance, and Wei's North Korea will have to clean it up sooner or later.

"Gongsun Hong, what do you think about this?"

Liu Che wanted to hear what Gongsun Hong thought of Wei's Joseon, if it wasn't too far away.

Troops will definitely be stationed in Wei's North Korea to monitor Wei Youqu and them at all times.

"North Korea is too far away from the Han Dynasty to set up an expedition for the time being. If Wei Youqu doesn't come to pay tribute, don't worry about him for the time being. ”

Gongsun Hong's thoughts are the same as Liu Che's, and he is also good at figuring out other people's ideas.

Sometimes pretending to be confused is to make the emperor think that no one is smarter than him.

"Your Majesty, this year's tax collection has been completed, with a total income of one and a half hundred thousand dollars."

Gongsun Hong counted the copper coins collected together with the goods, and the main ones collected were grains.

According to Chang'an's market price, last year's tax revenue was 14.2 billion yuan.

"That sounds like a lot, but it's completely insufficient. The use of troops against the Xiongnu would consume one-third of a year's treasury revenue. ”

The other third was used to build the imperial tomb, and the remaining third was used to pay for the anger of officials and other expenses.

Liu Zhang knew very well that Liu Che spent a lot of money in a year.

He did not live frugally like Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing, and he traveled with great pomp.

Liu Zhang naturally would not persuade him to be thrifty, Liu Che was not Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing.

If he had been at the beginning of his succession, persuasion might have been effective.

He is now a powerful emperor, and persuasion can only be counterproductive.

Those who persuade may be demoted or punished in other ways.

10.5 billion money, at least 3 billion money into the Shaofu.

This year's Shaofu's income is more than one billion less than in previous years, and Gongsun Hong has already planned the expenditure items of the money.

"Your Majesty. This year, the government can only collect 250,000 yuan, and the rest must ensure that the state treasury has sufficient expenditures in the coming year. ”

That is to give 500 million less than the usual money, Liu Che was a little unhappy after hearing it.

"I thought I was going to give Shaofu 300,000 yuan, why did I give 50,000 yuan less?"

Liu Che listened to Gong Sunhong's explanation just now, but he just didn't understand.

It's not that Liu Che is not smart, the money that belongs to him can't be less.

"Please also ask for your understanding, this year, there have been disasters in various places. The people's harvest is not good, and in some places taxes have been reduced, and the remaining more than 700,000 yuan is enough for the state treasury to spend in the coming year. ”

As the prime minister, Gongsun Hong believes that every expenditure must be carefully calculated.

The annual income of those nobles is also paid from the treasury.

The Shaofu also gave some subsidies to other members of the royal family, most of which came from the treasury.

"Forget it this time, if the tax revenue is less next year, it will be paid to the Shaofu according to the practice of previous years."

Liu Che made concessions this time, and he didn't want to add to the burden on the people.

Next year's treasury expenditure, that's Gongsun Hong and other officials' business.

They figured it out on their own, and they couldn't reduce the income of Shaofu anyway.

This is equivalent to Liu Che's salary income for a year, and if there is no money, the treasury will not give more.

It can only rely on the annual contributions of the princes and princes, as well as the land income owned by the emperor.

Liu Che was a little unhappy, considering that the treasury was not very full.

Then let the Shaofu collect a little less this year, otherwise, some officials will increase taxes and pay to the people.
