Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 866 Another Outsider
The princess's recruiting of talents in Taixue was relatively smooth. Although Funan Kingdom is remote and remote, it is a newly established vassal state after all, with a very short staff and a large number of posts.

Liu Ye, as a vassal king, could not directly promise them an official title. The vassal kings do not have such power, but the vassal kings can promote their vassal states, call on everyone to go there, tell about the benefits of going there, etc. Do not break any laws.

Liu Ye has been thinking of ways to promote his new vassal state for a few days. Funan Kingdom needs a large number of officials, and there are many opportunities for promotion, and more opportunities for military merit. too much.

The meritorious service of the big man is the most important. Liu Ji believes that they will not miss such a good opportunity to earn military merits, and Wei Wenjun has always been helping her. Wei Wenjun has been helping Liu An deal with family affairs for a long time. These things are also handy, and there are no mistakes.

It was also rare for Liu Ci not to make trouble at this time. He was quite relieved to see that his sister had the same love for the virtuous as he did. breakthrough.

Seeing her complaining, she said that Funan Kingdom is worse than Xia Kingdom, she really deserves to be her own sister, this succession is really fast!

Liu Liang led those literati to build momentum for Funan Kingdom and the queen, guide all kinds of public opinion, and give her support. The two elder brothers are still doing very well. With their help, Liu Ye is really good. This has attracted many people to Funan.

After all, in Liu Ye's narration, Funan Kingdom is full of wastes, lacks talents, has a lot of military exploits, and has a lot of barbarians waiting to be educated. Whether you want to make contributions or educate one side, here is Your go-to place!
Just as the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty were making advertisements for themselves, the carriages of Liu An and Han Xin were also rapidly approaching Chang'an.

Liu An stopped and stopped along the road. He still needed to check the changes and conditions in various places, and occasionally got off the car to ask local officials and people, so his speed was relatively slow. It is also impossible to reach Chang'an within a few days, but Han Xin is different.

Han Xin didn't care about anything, he just got into the car, indifferent to everything around him, and kept telling the driver to speed up.

Therefore, when Liu An just came to Runan, Han Xin was already close to Chang'an.

As soon as he came to Tongguan, Han Xin saw the peasants along the road. There were a lot of these peasants, walking in different directions. They were all holding various tools. They looked quite tired, and some officials were organizing and deploying them.

If it was in the past, Han Xin would definitely not be interested in asking, but now, Han Xin is more curious and couldn't help calling one of the officials over.

The official obviously didn't know who the person in front of him was, but seeing the size of the other party's trip and the soldiers in front and behind, he also knew that the person in front of him was not to be provoked, so he hurriedly paid his respects.

"Let me ask you, what do these people do?"

"It's a corvee. There are big corvees in Chang'an."

Han Xin was taken aback, "A corvee in Chang'an??"

The official explained: "Because the roads are blocked, Chang'an is undergoing expansion. Many old buildings in the city are being demolished and renovated. Roads must be expanded, re-planned, and the urban area of ​​Chang'an expanded..."

When he said this, Han Xin understood that the roads in Chang'an have indeed become more and more congested these years. When Yang Chengyan designed the city, he probably did not expect that the population of Chang'an would increase so rapidly. Some can't hold on to the population pressure.

Han Xin knew what was going on, so he didn't ask any more questions, and told the officials to leave, while he continued on his way.

This time the emperor recruited a lot of people. There were farmers and officials along the road, and some soldiers were patrolling. He was afraid that something would happen after the crowd gathered. Because the city was undergoing repairs, Han Xin wanted to go to the city. My own mansion has to take a long way around.

When Han Xin was about to enter the city, he ran into an official who came to greet him. It was a very young official, but his rank was not low. He was leading people, standing there, waiting for Han Xin's arrival.

When Han Xin saw him, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

It was Chen Mai who came.

Of course Han Xin knew him. His appearance was [-]% to [-]% similar to his father's, and his temperament was even more the same. Han Xin was absolutely sure that Liu Chang's son had deliberately asked this fellow to greet him, not for any other reason. , just for fun.

However, Han Xin didn't have any malice towards Chen Mai. He was angry just now, and he was only angry because of Liu Chang's bastard behavior. There was even some relief in Han Xin's eyes for the guy who resembled his father.

There are not many people who can be recognized by Han Xin, but those who are recognized by Han Xin have no reliable descendants, such as Zhang Liang's son who can only flatter, Xiao He's son with a demented face, Cao Shen's son who looks exactly like The stupid son, and Xia Houying's completely demented son.

It is also Chen Ping's son, who is said to be quite good at doing things, a little like his father's shadow, which is really rare.

Chen Mai cautiously went forward to pay respects, and then quickly explained: "The Taiwei doesn't know something. The Ministry of Industry is working in the city and setting up obstacles everywhere. I'm afraid that they will hinder the Taiwei, so His Majesty ordered me to welcome the Taiwei. Lieutenant, escort the Taiwei..."

Han Xin sneered, "Can I not know what he thinks? It's okay, it's none of your business, but why didn't that Zhuzi come to greet me in person?"

Chen Mai said helplessly: "Something happened, Your Majesty is quite busy."

"Go hunting?"

"It really happened."

The two of them drove towards Han Xin's mansion. On the way, Han Xin realized that this guy really wasn't lying. Something happened in Chang'an, and Liu Chang had to solve it himself. kind.

The envoys from Hexi, Xiting, and Beiting sat in front of Liu Chang respectively. They didn't look very happy. They looked at each other with some hostility in their eyes. Liu Chang sat on the top seat and looked coldly. Looking at the three of them, none of them spoke, and the scene was exceptionally quiet.

While the Elder was busy managing the affairs in the south, the Three Idiots in the Northwest gave Liu Chang another luxurious gift.

What happened was like this. Based on the principle that everyone with money can make money together, Liu Qi called on his two brothers to work together to make huge profits. Beiting has a large number of cotton plantations, so it is natural that people with poison are needed here. And Hexi country's manufacturing industry is good, so of course it needs a market.

As for the Xiting Kingdom, it earns the price difference by helping the two allies to carry out commercial trade. In Liu Qi's view, this is definitely a very good idea. It would be great for everyone to join forces to make a fortune and become strong together.

But the problem was that the price difference he earned was a bit too harsh. Naturally, Liu Ang and Liu Xiang soon discovered that they were doing more and more trade, while Liu Qi next door was getting richer and richer. Why is this a little bit wrong?Why does it feel like all the benefits are in the hands of this guy? ?

Ever since, the three idiots in the Northwest started negotiations and exchanges again based on their interests. For the sake of fairness, they decided to meet at the junction of the three countries, but for some unknown reason, they moved their hands while talking. He gave Liu Qi a good beating. If Liu Xiang hadn't persuaded him in time, the two sides would have opened fire on the spot.

The three brothers couldn't bear such grievances, and hurriedly sent people to the temple, and began to tell the emperor about their grievances and pains, asking the emperor to make decisions for themselves and punish those unreasonable brothers.

Ever since, these three envoys were in bad luck and were sent to Chang'an to write a letter to the emperor.

Of course, Liu Chang's face was extremely ugly. He originally thought that he would hand over the affairs of the Northwest to those three idiots, so that he could be at ease with the affairs of the South, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen again after a long time. ! !I shouldn't have believed that these three idiots could govern the Northwest.

Standing not far away, Lu Lu had already understood what was going on. He stepped forward and asked the three envoys to go back and wait for the news, while he moved in front of Liu Chang himself.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to get angry about this matter. Even husband and wife will inevitably quarrel, let alone princes and kings. Besides, the three of them didn't mobilize large armies to attack each other, they just did it. It's not a big deal."

"You mean to wait for them to mobilize their armies to attack each other before I come forward?"

Lu Lu cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, that's not the case. I was just thinking. In fact, the three of them are doing pretty well. The trade in the north is almost decided by the temple, but it's not in the northwest."

"The three countries communicate with each other and make each other rich and powerful through trade with Shendu. This is definitely the correct decision. Judging from their achievements over the years, the Beiting Kingdom has been driven to develop. Last year's cold winter, Their cotton is selling like crazy..."

"I think the main problem at present is that no one can call the shots... Liu Qi is the smartest, Liu Ang is the bravest, and Liu Xiang is the oldest. The three of them are not convinced by each other. They all want to lead by themselves and let the two brothers assist them , so some friction is inevitable.”

Liu Chang snorted coldly, "Do you still need to tell me? These three people are all arrogant... If they continue like this, I will let Chao Cuo go over there to be the governor, the commander-in-chief." Three Kingdoms affairs..."

It can be seen that Liu Chang actually has no good solution. When he was talking with Lu Lu, he saw the Taiwei walk into the hall swaggeringly. Liu Chang stood up hastily, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Master?? You didn't go back to the Taiwei's mansion to rest?"

Han Xin didn't answer, but just sat by himself, adjusted his clothes to make himself more comfortable, and then asked: "The three countries in the northwest are at war?"

"That's not true. It's just that the princes and kings are fighting. It's okay. I don't need to alert you to take action on this matter. I can solve it myself. I will send someone there later to deal with it properly. "

Han Xin snorted coldly, and asked again: "You want to make Xie a prince?"

Liu Chang immediately explained the reasons one by one, and Han Xin said a few words, but he didn't seem to care much about the reasons.

When Liu Chang asked about the water army again, Han Xin's words began to increase. Han Xin talked about his many thoughts and policies after he went to Langya County.

Liu Chang listened very carefully. Han Xin talked about his reorganization of the navy, the redistribution of warships, and most importantly, the drill plan and tactical battle formation of the navy.

Liu Chang, who was listening, couldn't help muttering.

What a powerful talent, what a monster!

It’s only been so long since I’ve been to the south, and now that I’m speaking, I seem to know more than myself. Liu Chang can’t even name so many navy formations. Han Xin has indeed done a lot of things, but the navy is not like the army. It can be completed in a short time.

Han Xin said at the end: "Langya's establishment of a shipyard is a very good idea, but naval drills should still be carried out in Funan and other places. Langya is extremely far away from Shendu and Anxi and other places, and most of the water thieves gather in Funan. Land, if you practice the navy here, it will surely strengthen the actual combat capability of the navy quickly."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Master, you have said so much with all your heart, but it's actually just to pave the way for the last sentence, right? It's just to change the drill point of the navy from Langya to Funan Kingdom?"

"Bastard! Didn't you listen to my explanation before? The wood comes from the south, the enemy comes from the south, and this is the most important passage. The south is a lot of deserted islands that can be explored. Isn't this the most suitable place to build a naval base? ??"

Liu Chang pursed his lips, well, it’s true if you say so, and he didn’t dare to say anything more, “Then follow Master’s idea and set up a navy base in Funan, but this For specific work such as the construction of the port, you still have to do it yourself, Master..."

Han Xin got the imperial edict from Liu Chang, and returned to his mansion contentedly, took a short rest, and happily went to find his granddaughter.

When Han Xin found Liu Ye in the Nanyue King's mansion, Han Xin didn't seem very happy either. Liu Ye rushed forward happily and held Father Goat's hand tightly. Han Xin cast a glance at Zhao Tuo, and immediately Take out the gift.

Han Xin brought a Chu crown to Liu Jie, and Zhao Tuo couldn't help laughing, it was clearly a crown worn by a man!Still give it to granddaughter? ?
But Liu Jing liked it very much, and smiled happily while holding the crown.

Zhao Tuo looked very proud. He sat aside, looked at Han Xin in front of him, and said with a smile: "Liu Ye is already the King of Funan, and Funan Kingdom is right next to Nanyue Kingdom, do you know? You are completely Don't worry, I will personally send her to the country, and then you can stay in Chang'an and write your art of war!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo's proud appearance, Han Xin couldn't help it anymore, he said: "Yes, Nanyue Kingdom and Funan Kingdom are very close, but unfortunately, I'm out training the navy, according to His Majesty's order, the navy The training place of the army should be in the Wangcheng of the Funan Kingdom... When the time comes, I will be in the Wangcheng, so you can stay in the Nanyue Kingdom to raise your monkeys with peace of mind."

Liu Jing's eyes widened again, and he asked curiously, "You want to come to Funan Kingdom?"

"I'll help you remove some obstacles. The chief actually asked Xia Houzao to be your country's prime minister. This is simply trying to destroy your country. I still have to go there in person. Your elder brother is coming soon. When your elder brother arrives, there are still a few things left. Talk to him about the matter, and then, I have to go to your side, set up a base, drill the navy, and kill all the water thieves and thieves around."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "Before you arrive, the water thieves and thieves there are almost killed by our soldiers from the South Vietnam Kingdom!!"

Han Xin squinted his eyes and said again: "At that time, I can also help you drill the army of Funan Kingdom and help you a little bit."

Zhao Tuo originally wanted to argue, "When the time comes...huh?? Do you want to help the Southern Kingdom train soldiers??"

Zhao Tuo reacted in a hurry, and held Han Xin's hand with a smile, "Taiwei, this is herding a sheep, and herding a group of sheep is also herding. Why don't you help the South Vietnamese army practice?"

.....................

Liu An's carriage slowly approached Tongguan, and he naturally noticed the folk husbands who came and went frequently, but he knew the specific reason a long time ago. Liu An had thought of this situation a long time ago, and it wasn't just because of the expansion It can be done in the city, but we have to think of other ways.

Liu An didn't want too many people to know the news of his coming, and blocked the news all the way, so in fact, no one came to greet him this time, and only Liu Liang came.

Although Liu Liang was alone, Liu An was still very happy. He took his younger brother's hand and let him ride with him, then drove towards the city.In the days after Liu An left, too many things happened in Chang'an, and Liu Liang didn't hide these things at all. He talked with his brother in detail, including the battle between Huang Lao and Confucianism , the case of rebellion, and even the fact that the two little guys were going to rob the prison and were captured were all told.

Liu An's expression was constantly changing. When he heard that his little brat contacted his classmates from the county school to rob the prison, his expression became extremely complicated. Why did he feel that he was out of tune with these people? ?

It felt like they were all carved out of the same mold, and I was the only one who was an outsider, oh, yes, and my good brother.

Liu An looked at his third brother, and felt that he must not let the third brother become like this, he must protect this kind and sincere brother.

Liu Liang talked about Liu Ci again. When Liu Ci was mentioned, Liu An shook his head. Just as Liu An thought, Liu Ci was caught in prison. Immediately, Liu Liang happily talked about himself. operation.

"Brother, you don't know something. At that time, I asked the literati under my command to scold those Lu Ru, but these Confucian scholars dared to look down on us and didn't retaliate. We had to pretend to be Lu Ru and argue with ourselves... . . . "

Liu An only felt that his eyes were dark, it was broken! !
Another one has been taken astray! !
