Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 312 Dangerous! ! ! !

Chai Qi was supported and sat in front of Liu Chang with difficulty, and couldn't wait to talk about business.

"That road is really difficult to walk. Those thieves are mostly hiding in the mountains and forests, so Yafu hired more than [-] guides with a lot of money."

Chai Qi had previously followed Qunxian to Bashu to fight against bandits. Although Chai Qi was not originally from Qunxian, but because his words and deeds fit the style of Qunxian, he was sent by Liu Chang to join Zhou Yafu in the team of Qunxian. Not many, except for Zhou Yafu's headquarters of 3000 people, there are also [-] people called from Berkshire, and a garrison of the Northern Army.

"How is the battle?"

"I don't know. I haven't even seen the face of the enemy."

Chai Qi was also unlucky. He followed the army into the mountains to fight, and fell from the mountain before he saw the enemy. If Xiahouzao hadn't rescued him, he would have fallen to his death in the mountains of Bashu. I'm going to become the first Hou of a big man to fall to his death."

"The mountain road over there is very difficult. When it rains, it is even more unbearable. When Yafu climbed the mountain, he asked us to tie our waists with ropes, and everyone was connected to prevent anyone from falling."

"Then why do you still fall?"

"Oh, it was made after I fell."

"Then you can be considered to have contributed to the war."

Seeing the schadenfreude of the king, Chai Qi said annoyed, "It's better not to make such a contribution."

"No problem. There will be opportunities in the future. Come, eat some meat to replenish your body!"

The two sat and chatted, and Liu Chang shook his head, "It's been so long since you set out, and no one has sent me the battle report yet."

Chai Qi pondered for a moment, then asked, "They tied each other with ropes when they were climbing, wouldn't they all fall to their death together?"

"Fart, how can there be a reason for thousands of people to fall to their deaths together?"

"That's a long way to go. The courier is probably still on the way."

Liu Chang thought about it, probably so.

Liu Chang had never been to Bashu before, and he ate meat with Chai Qi and asked about the situation in Bashu. Chai Qi knew everything, and he enthusiastically reported the people's livelihood in Bashu to the king.

"The beauty over there. That's a seductive one. If you're not afraid, you don't respect Yafu. I really want to take a few concubines there. As a Hou, it's not too much to take eight concubines, right?"

"Not too much, not too much, keep talking!"

"They are much more forthright than the beauties in Chang'an. There are still people surrounding our school grounds, stunned that they want to find a good person."

"Hahaha, depending on the virtues of the sages of the widow, don't they want to be the son-in-law of Bashu?"

"Your Majesty really despised us. We all hurriedly gave in, pushing and pushing Xiahouzao and Mr. Fan, and they started fighting."

"In the end, when Xiahouzao won the battle, he told the beauty that he would go to find her when the battle was over."

"Hahaha!"

"The wine over there is also delicious."

"How delicious is it?"

"Let's just tell the king, for this drink, it's worth taking Yafu's military stick!"

"How many times did you suffer?"

"I suffered less, six times."

"There is beef over there that is different from the Central Plains. With that wine, it is truly a must in the world. If there are more beautiful women to serve you."

Hearing Chai Qi's description of the people's livelihood in Bashu, Liu Chang couldn't sit still, he said righteously: "Bashu is a treasure land of the great Han, it is impossible for a few people not to go for inspections, and a few people should go there in person, so that they can govern well. Bashu, let Bashu become the granary of the great Han!"

The two bastards were very happy chatting here. What Chai Qi said, Liu Chang's heart was itching, and he wished he would fly to Bashu now and have a good taste of the local people's livelihood.

Zhang Shizhi, the newly appointed servant of the audience, stood aside, his face turning darker and darker.

The so-called audience servants are responsible for the court etiquette and conveying the mission. It is regarded as running errands for Liu Chang, and of course, it is also to monitor whether he has any wrong behavior.

Obviously, Liu Chang's behavior is very wrong now.

Zhang Shizhi said calmly: "The road to Bashu is difficult and the journey is long. Your Majesty will go to inspect, I'm afraid it will take years. If Your Majesty goes, what will happen to the temple? I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to go."

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, but Chai Qi looked at Zhang Shizhi displeasedly and cursed, "I'm talking to the king, how can you interrupt me!"

Liu Chang was a little confused, "That's not right, when King Qin toured the world, he didn't have such a long time. Why does it take so long for a few people to patrol Bashu?"

Chaiqi grinned, "Your Majesty, I know that!"

"Oh?"

"I heard that the reason why King Qin travels fast is because his war horse has eight legs."

"fart!"

Liu Chang actually expected this guy to tell the reason. He looked at Zhang Shizhi, and Zhang Shizhi replied calmly, "Come on."

At that moment, Zhang Shizhi saw a gleam of light in his king's eyes, he reacted suddenly, and his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty! The minister is old, please let the minister retire and return home!"

Zhou Chang sat in front of Liu Chang, his face was full of despair, and he was determined to retire and return home.

If you can't stay any longer, it won't be the problem of the ministers any longer.

Zhang Shizhi stood aside ashamed, he was really sorry for Zhou Xiang.

"Your Majesty. There are so many people who can be the Prime Minister of the country, why don't you change one!"

"I really can't do it."

Liu Chang smiled and comforted Zhou Chang, "Zhou Xiang, who else can handle this matter besides you? Back then, with the national strength of Qin, more than a dozen highways could be built. Far beyond Qin, why can't it be built?"

"Your Majesty, Qin Xiuchi, the road is fifty paces wide. A tree is planted every three feet. The timber is used as a rail for the train. Both sides are built with iron. How can a big man handle such a huge project?"

"Hmph, King Qin can do it, but I can't do it with King Tang?"

"After Qin finished the last gallop, Qin died."

Zhou Chang behaved very resolutely this time, even if Liu Chang threatened Zhang Wusu, Zhou Chang would not obey.

Zhang Shizhi took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the years of wars caused great damage to the road, and when the Han Dynasty was established, even horses of the same color could not be found, and there was a lack of war horses, so this road was abandoned. Now, because it is useless, since Emperor Gao started to demolish the road for use, the big man asked the people to reclaim the land, and many roads were built on the flat field, so they have become cultivated land.”

"Besides, Your Majesty, this road is costing the people of the world to build a road for the emperor to travel to various places."

"Now that the people's power is being abused, how can the Qin state not perish?"

This gallop is not the road of later generations. It is a railway, and it has tracks. At the same time, it is not available to the people of the whole country. It is reserved for the emperor. Only the emperor's carriage can walk back and forth on the gallop. Others, Not even the prince!

Therefore, Zhang Shizhi said that the behavior of the King of Qin was to build a road for himself with the power of the world.

However, this road can not be said to be ineffective. This road strengthens the connection between the temple and the place. After all, it shortens the time it takes for the emperor to travel to various places.

Liu Changchang waved his hand and said, "Is the widow a faint-hearted king like the King of Qin? The widow is not trying to rebuild the Chidao, but to maintain the original Qinchidao. Qin built so many roads, even if [-]% of them were destroyed, they should be in good condition, right? Isn't it a pity that these gallops are so abandoned?"

"What's more, the widow didn't want to make some emperor's way. After repairing the road, let the soldiers and officials pass through in the future, so that they can report the military situation at any time, and let the officials go to various places to give orders. Isn't this a great contribution to the society? "

Liu Chang asked.

This Chidao is the first "railway network" in the world. Starting from Xianyang, including the whole country, even Bashu, and places in the south, there are Chidao. The first emperor spent so much manpower and material resources to come up with such a The big project, the national railway network built in 200 BC, how outrageous is this?

But this railway network was abandoned in the Han Dynasty. The main reason was that the Han was short of food and money. The emperors of the early Han Dynasty were not willing to abuse the people's power to do these things. There is no possibility of repairing it, and it has been completely destroyed.

But now it is different. Although Chidao is seriously damaged, the foundation of King Qin is still there. If it is repaired, it can still be used.

Moreover, Chang Liu was going to take out the railway network left by the King of Qin for state affairs.

If the existing railway network is not in use and is allowed to be damaged, Tang Wang can't do such a thing.

"Your Majesty. Your idea is very good, but it's not a small expense to repair the road left by Qin."

"How much civilian power do you need to mobilize?"

"How much arable land will be delayed?"

Zhou Chang's question from the depths of his soul brought Liu Chang, who was immersed in a beautiful dream, back to reality.

"Why is this big guy so poor? He has no money to do anything!"

Liu Chang complained, feeling very annoyed in his heart. The king had no money in the middle of his business. He was born in the wrong place. In the past, the king of Qin used all the people's power in the world for decades, so the big man could only live like this. hard days.

The old man was so used to being poor that he dared not call even [-] strong people.

Liu Chang finally realized that the only thing that hindered him from realizing his ambitions was money.

Zhou Chang was still chattering about the difficulties of these projects to Chang Liu, while Zhang Shizhi frowned at the moment, thinking back to the words of the king just now, thoughtfully.

"Zhou Xiang, why are we so poor?"

Liu Chang said with emotion.

"There are so many things that the king wants to do. There is a shortage of money everywhere."

Liu Chang thought for a moment, slapped his thigh sharply, and shouted, "The widow has a plan!"

Zhou Chang was terrified, you must not have any tricks.

"Great... Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

"Aren't we short of money?"

"Yes."

"Then it's better if we cast more money. To collect the copper in the world, we can make as much as we need!"

Liu Chang said excitedly.

Zhou Chang's eyes darkened, but Zhang Shizhi said, "Your Majesty, money cannot be used to eat. If Your Majesty can make food out of thin air, maybe it can be done."

Liu Chang was a little disappointed, "Where did the widow get food and the Huns ran away. It's not easy to borrow some food, and the Huns are not kind."

Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the young man beside him.

He didn't pay attention to this young man before. After all, Zhou Chang knew the moral character of the person who could be kept by the king. Zhou Chang felt very angry when he thought about the old dog at that time. Sometimes he lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep all night, thinking about it all the time, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

But judging from those words just now, this young man seems to be very talented, and his character is not as hateful as those who give up.

Noticing Zhou Chang's eyes, Zhang Shizhi bowed his head slightly.

Zhou Chang kept this young man in his heart, then bid farewell to Liu Chang and left in a hurry.

Liu Chang sat depressed in the hall, "It's a pity. It's a pity, the ready-made gallop can be used after repairing."

"Your Majesty, will you really allow other officials and soldiers to use the gallop?"

Zhang Shizhi asked curiously.

"That's natural, how good is this ride, it goes both ways, one starts from Xianyang, Xincheng, and the other comes from other places to Xincheng. When we connect Xincheng and Chang'an, we can make the decree of the temple to the fastest. The speed to reach the place can also get the situation of the place at the fastest speed. The territory of the big Han will become larger and larger. When my father divided the kings, it was because the temple could not manage the place in time.”

Seeing the look of longing on the king's face, Zhang Shizhi suddenly said: "If the king really thinks so, then the reputation of the king in various places is not true."

"What do they all say about widows?"

"Said that you are self-willed, abusing people's power, tyrannical and cruel, and greedy for pleasure"

"Hahaha~~~"

Liu Chang didn't care about this at all, he shook his head, "The widow is generous and doesn't care about these words. Besides, they can't say that everything they say is wrong. After all, this road has been repaired, and the widow must be the first to go to the inspection. Let's go to Bashu."

Zhang Shizhi chuckled, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, this minister is willing to do this for you."

"you??"

"You can do what Zhou Xiang can't do?"

"Why, can you make food out of thin air?"

"I will try my best."

"for example?"

"Like the coins the king said."

Zhang Shizhi said very seriously: "Your Majesty wants to mint more money, which is wrong, but today's coins are also very wrong. During Emperor Gao's time, coins were minted privately in various places, causing confusion in the world's currency, and it was impossible to communicate with the Queen Mother. At the time of Your Majesty, due to the confusion of currencies in the world, private coinage was abolished, and people in the county and county were not allowed to coin coins, and because the currencies were different, the Queen Mother personally set up five baht coins, and the people often cut the coins and used them, and the Queen Mother surrounded the border."

When it comes to five baht coins, many people subconsciously think that it was a change during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but few people know that Empress Lu was the first person to do this, and personally participated in the design of the coins, with five baht as the weight. The unit was only abolished several times later, and went through several reforms when Emperor Wu came. Probably they were unwilling to use the coins set up by the queen mother, and they changed it over and over. In the end, five baht was the most fragrant.

Zhang Shizhi said: "It's just that the queen mother made five baht coins, but she never abolished half liang coins. The counties and counties did not mint coins, but the countries were still minting coins. If the king can determine the five baht coins, ban other coins, and abolish the private feudal states. The power to mint coins, set up a special agency to be responsible for coins, and can conjure a lot of food for the temple out of thin air."

"Can you make food by doing this??"

Zhang Shizhi nodded and said: "As for the matter of the road, it can be completely handed over to the counties and vassal states along the road to manage the temples and lack of money, but these vassal states are very rich."

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, and he took Zhang Shizhi's hand, "Okay, your thoughts coincide with those of the widow!"

"The widow does not hide it from you. In fact, the widow has such an idea for a long time. In fact, no one can implement it, so I didn't mention it!"

Zhang Shizhi was also a little surprised, "I never thought that the king also had such an idea, so why didn't you tell Zhou Xiang?"

"Cough, Zhou is prejudiced against the widow, I'm afraid that he won't listen to the widow who just gave you a chance to express it. The widow sees that Zhou is very satisfied with you. Why don't you go to Zhou Xiang to talk about it and see if Zhou Xiang can do it? Do it according to the widow's will!"

"only!!"

Zhang Shizhi agreed immediately.

When he walked out of the palace, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It is said that the king is not good at reading, and is a rude and reckless man. Today, it seems that it is really the foolish opinion of the world, and he is also a truly heroic and wise king!"

At this moment, Liu Chang grinned and came to Changle Palace with a smirk.

"Mother!!"

Hearing this cry, Empress Lu sighed and cleared the papers in front of him. After Chang Liu sat down, he asked simply, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Mother, I came to see you on purpose, a dignified man, even if you encounter any problems, you can solve it yourself, how can you trouble Auntie?"

"Oh"

Empress Lu understood and asked, "Then what did you do?"

If this fellow came to Changle Palace, if he didn't come to ask for help, he must have come to show off.

Empress Lu knew this guy too well.

Liu Chang really smirked, "The widow thought of a clever plan today!"

Soon, Liu Chang talked about coins and Chidao.

"Well maybe."

Empress Lu just nodded, and Liu Chang appeared behind Empress Lu at some point, rubbing her shoulders lightly.

"Mom, how can you get Zhou Xiang to agree to handle this matter?"

"Would you like to give him an order?"

Liu Chang's hand was as big as Empress Lu's head, and placed on her shoulders like two bear's paws. Liu Chang's face was full of smiles, and he looked like a villain, Empress Lu said nonchalantly: "If Zhou Xiang No, I'll tell him."

"That's great! Grandma!"

Liu Chang sat next to Empress Lv excitedly, and wanted to rub a little, but he had grown up, and his mother couldn't hold him, Empress Lv disliked him very much, "You are such an old man, Andu Don't make trouble with me like this! What are you still clinging to me for all day?!"

Empress Lu looked at the naive person in front of her, stretched out her hand, and helped him wipe the stain on the corner of his mouth.

"Alas, the family is unfortunate. How can I have children like you."

"Mum, can you not take me with you when you scold Big Brother next time?"

"Your brother came here today."

"Ok?"

Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, "He said he wanted to change Xiang's kingdom."

"Ah?? Isn't Hexi pretty good? Where does he want to seal it?"

"It's not your elder brother, it's someone else's instigation."

The smile on Liu Chang's face immediately solidified, "Mother, it's okay. I can handle these things myself, and you can rest in peace and ignore it."

Empress Lu stayed on crutches and got up slowly.

The body is a little hunched, and the hair is gray.

"Long. I'm old."

"But... my eyesight is not bad, I can see clearly."

"Some people can't stay."

ps: Last night, there was no chapter saying that it could be copied, so I started a live broadcast. I asked readers to tell this chapter on the spot. I got a lot of comments, and I got a god comment. A buddy asked me if Chao Gai would talk to the king of Nanyue in the future. There is communication.That is to say, this chapter is no longer there, otherwise this comment must be a divine comment.

I heard that this chapter will be resumed tomorrow, but I don't know if it's true.
