I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Ju knew that Liu Che was talking about Liu Tan's plan to pay him dividends, so he pursed his lips and smiled, and said nothing. Although Liu Tan didn't tell Liu Che about this matter, he had to report to Liu Che, otherwise Liu Che would know. Even if you don't clean up the two of them, you have to make a note.

What's more, what Liu Tan said is very reasonable. Among all the brothers, he is the only one who is the poorest now.

The other brothers have fiefdoms and can collect taxes even if they have no real power, but what about the prince?

It is said that he is the prince, but the private property in his hands is not as good as that of a country, oh, except for the barren ones like the northern border country.

But Liu Tan was full and the whole family was not hungry, and although Liu Ju was not married, he had many wives and children, and everything cost money for food and clothing.

And he didn't have a queen mother, so when Liu Tan was in Chang'an, the prince was not as rich as him.

Not to mention now, people are sitting on copper mines!

Liu Tan found out that Liu Ju's life was quite simple when he went to the Crown Prince's uterus last time.

So Liu Tan didn't just want to remind Liu Ju to take back the minting rights, but also really wanted to improve his brother's life.

After reading it, Liu Che realized that although he often rewarded the prince, he did not give him a fixed living allowance.

Everything about the prince was inherited according to Liu Che's practice back then.

However, Liu Che succeeded to the throne at the age of 16. At that time, he married Chen Ajiao for three or four years. Before that, he had no concubine or children.

So I never felt the hardship of raising a family.

Liu Ju is 24 years old this year. There are quite a few wombs, including three emperors and grandchildren, and they are all not too young. In this way, Liu Che, who is in his teens, does not feel poor, but Liu Ju does not necessarily.

Liu Che looked at Liu Yue and said, "You don't need to talk about it, I will give it to you."

Liu Ju said hastily: "My son didn't want it, my brother just arrived in Shuofang and it was not easy to survive."

Liu Che nodded and said, "I see, in the future, you will ask someone to go to the Shaofu to get a monthly report every month."

"My son, thank you, father." Liu Ju really couldn't laugh or cry, he never thought that he would receive living expenses from his parents at his age.

"Go." Liu Che thought for a while and added: "The edict should be issued according to the original schedule."

Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and he has been busy with the matter of taking back the minting rights for a long time. As the future master of this country, Liu Ju doesn't want the minting rights to be in the hands of others, but he can't help worrying about Liu Tan.

But what's the use of worrying?His pocket money was almost given by his younger brother!

Liu Ju left with a heart full of contradictions.

After he left, Liu Che wrote a letter to Liu Tan, telling his brother not to tell his father about something, scolded him bloody, and gave Liu Tan the right to mint coins by the way.

Well, Liu Che took back the coinage rights of all the princes and kings, except Liu Tan.

Liu Ju felt relieved when he found out, and wrote a reply letter to Liu Tan.

When Liu Tan received the letter, he was relieved to see that the right to mint coins was withdrawn from the front, but when he saw the back, he almost didn't bring it up!

What's the situation?The coinage rights of all the princes and kings have been withdrawn, so what does it mean to leave him alone?Isn't this hanging him on the wall?

No need for special treatment.

Especially here, Liu Che reassured him not to worry, at least in the next ten years he would not take back his minting rights, and asked him to repair the palace quickly.

Over there, Liu Ju was joking and generally told him to thank him, because he, Liu Che, had given him pocket money, and by the way, he had chosen someone to mint coins for him, and emphasized that there were only three people in total.

It is estimated that this is because Liu Tan will become suspicious of the people he sent.

However... Liu Tan doesn't want the minting rights at all!

It seems to be preferential treatment now, but who knows when it will become a reminder!

Liu Tan looked at the letter with a sad face and sighed so much that Huo Guang couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help asking: "What happened in Beijing?"

Liu Tan raised his head and looked at Huo Guang: "The mansion report should come in two days. Father has taken back the princes and kings' right to mint coins."

Huo Guang frowned, but soon relaxed again. He comforted Liu Tan and said, "Before this matter, His Majesty did not allow any news to be disclosed, and the minister did not say anything about it. In fact, His Majesty has been preparing for this matter for a long time, and it is not sudden. Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already started to make preparations, and I will start to vigorously cultivate wasteland next year, as long as the cultivated land increases, the tax revenue will also increase."

If you have more taxes, you will not be short of money. Although it is not as good as being able to mint your own coins, what else can you do except relax yourself?

Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang expressionlessly and said, "The northern border country's right to mint coins has been retained."

Huo Guang:? ? ? ?

Then you didn't say it earlier!

After heaving a sigh of relief, Huo Guang also realized that such special treatment was somewhat dangerous.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at Liu Tan and said, "Your Majesty has only taken back the minting rights of princes and kings, but has not delegated this power to the court. As far as I know, His Majesty has many kilns in charge of minting coins."

Liu Tan's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Huo Guang meant. This world belongs to Liu Che, but Liu Che's does not necessarily belong to the imperial court.

He thought for a while and said, "Then how about this copper mine being owned by the royal family?"

Huo Guang said: "I think it would be best if only the King of the Northern Territory can get it, and only His Majesty and the Queen can get it. I asked before that the mining time of this copper mine is at least a hundred years, so it is best to form a rule."

Liu Tan understood what Huo Guang meant, but he didn't have the nerve to say that the King of the Northern Territory... probably only belonged to his generation.

After all, he doesn't plan to get married, and naturally he won't have children. If he is an ordinary person, he can still adopt or adopt him.

But adoption is impossible with his status, adoption... He doesn't have such a good relationship with other brothers, and he doesn't want the other's son to inherit his family business. The only good relationship may be the prince, but the son of the prince will be the prince in the future , There is no shortage of this fiefdom.

But he didn't tell Huo Guang, just nodded, and then wrote a letter saying that he had too much money, and he wanted to pay for his parents. By the way, he gave a share to the prince. Recognize the prince, and if the prince ascends the throne, he will take it back. Anyway, the prince can inherit the emperor's share at that time.

After Liu Che received the letter, he scolded with a smile: "Do I still need his money?"

Then he turned around and found an excuse to reward him with a hundred pieces of Linzhi Gold and Horseshoe Gold, and by the way, he also sent some rare jade objects to let him decorate the palace later.

After seeing the letter, Chen Ajiao complained to Da Changqiu next to her: "How much money does he have? When he found a copper mine, he started throwing money away. Go, send someone over to give him some money. The one in the Northern Kingdom How can the tax be enough to repair the palace? Let him repair it, and I will go to see it when it is repaired. If it is not good enough, be careful, I will demolish it!"

It's very simple when it comes to Liu Ju, he doesn't say polite words to Liu Tan, he understands what Liu Tan means, in fact, even if Liu Che starts sending him money, Liu Ju's life is only a little more relaxed than before.

Therefore, Liu Ju gave Liu Tan a bunch of non-perishable melons, fruits and vegetables at a very affordable price. He heard that there is little arable land and few types of vegetables. He was worried that his brother would not be able to eat good things. Let's talk when it's over, I'll send someone to deliver it to you!

In addition to this, Liu Shi also sent Liu Tan a message: It is said that Liu Fuling directly smashed his bedroom after knowing that his minting rights were withdrawn and Liu Tan's minting rights were retained. As a result, he could only sleep in the side hall that night.

So Liu Tan sent three letters in exchange for a gift package of gold coins and a gift package of food.

After Liu Tan heard that the delivery convoy almost stretched from the gate of the county mansion to the outside of the city, and attracted many people to watch, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Bi Gao: "It takes... so many things."

Bi Gao had a list in his hand, so he made a rough estimate and gave Liu Tan a number.

Liu Tan thought about estimating the annual output of that copper mine before, and then found that even if the loss of minting coins and the time wasted in the middle were not counted, the money would probably be worth the money given to the empress five in terms of the mining efficiency of the copper mine. annual dividends.

Among them, Linzhi Gold and Horseshoe Gold are special rewards, with different symbolic meanings, and cannot be measured simply by the price of gold.

Liu Tan wiped his face, and instantly returned to reality from the swell of "I'm rich".

Looking down at Liu Ju's letter, he couldn't help laughing after seeing the last bonus message.

Although I know that he and Liu Fuling go north and south, unless there are special circumstances, we may never see each other in this lifetime.

But that doesn't stop him from gloating, does it?

When Huo Guang came in, he happened to see Liu Tan smiling like a fox at the letter paper, he couldn't help but pause, wondering if his highness was being happy and silly.

After Liu Tan saw Huo Guang, he adjusted his expression to a normal one, looked up at Huo Guang, and found that he was holding the map again, and immediately became vigilant: "What's wrong?"

You won't let him choose a place again, will you?

Huo Guang coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, please take a look at this map."

Liu Tan glanced down, and said with some surprise: "Huh? Didn't you draw this? It's not bad. I've used all the methods I set. You have found someone who is suitable for drawing maps? Who is it?"

Huo Guang said, "Sang Qian."

Liu Tan: "Huh?"
