Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 440 Teacher
The ministers are not obedient, what should I do?
Most of them are free, just change a batch.

Liu Chang originally thought that the discovery of the island would allow these ministers to be honest for a period of time, but they dared not tell them publicly, but they had great opinions on Liu Chang in private, and Liu Chang was not used to them at all. Just go and exchange with the place. The first thing is to exchange the stubborn Liu Jing to Hexi. He is the prime minister in Hexi, and he is just in charge of the migration of the population there. its use.

The original Hexi minister, Luanbu, was to serve as the internal history of Su in the temple, that is, to succeed Liu Jing.

Liu Chang admires Liu Jing very much. This person is good in all aspects, especially for the tyrannical, who dares to kill. Not only can he propose policies, but he can also handle practical matters. However, his flaws are also too great. It was standing in front of Liu Chang, self-righteous, and it seemed that I was the only one in the world.

Let him go to Hexi, and he won't be able to hear his long-winded, and at the same time, it will also give him a place to display his specialties.

As for Luan Bu, he was diligent and diligent in Hexi, and he was relatively mature in all aspects. It is not a big problem to come back to replace Liu Jing at this moment.

In addition to Liu Jing, Lang Zhongling Chai Wu was also expelled.

When the ministers wanted to persuade Liu Chang, the minister gave them a lot of convenience, and he also persuaded them many times. He also wanted to organize the ministers to see Empress Lv for persuasion, and Liu Chang directly sent him. Go to Beiting Kingdom, let him be the prime minister for Liu Wei, and govern the area well. This man is proficient in warfare, and just sent a reliable person to master to be responsible for the logistics. Zhou Bo, Chai Wu, Xia Houzao , The Northwest Quartet composed by Han Xin must be able to play some beautiful music.

Although something was mixed in, it didn't affect the overall situation. After all, his grandfather could come back with a chariot and kill him at any time.

Liu Chang is not Liu Ying, he can handle it if he is not a group of ministers. What Liu Chang lacks at present are those lower-level officials. Because of the expansion of the territory, there are not enough grass-roots officials in many places. As for the courtiers, Liu Chang is always available. Several batches can be replaced, and several systems can be freely matched without any duplicates.

Liu Chang replaced several ministers. Starting from Jiuqing, he basically sent those who were particularly vocal in opposition to other places, and only Zhou Chang, who was at the rank of Sangong, was not replaced.

After these appointments were read out, the hall was extremely quiet.

In the Xuan chamber hall, Liu Chang sat in the upper seat, his face was not moved at all.

For emperors like Liu Chang, Liu Bang, and Ying Zheng, if they sing the opposite of the emperor, that is, some of them can't get along with their own three clans.

Fortunately, compared to Ying Zheng and Liu Bang, Liu Chang's methods were more gentle, but he was out of sight and out of mind. He just let them go to other places without physically making them out of sight.

Zhang Budo looked at His Majesty, but couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty. What should we do with Zhou Chang?"

Speaking of Zhou Chang, Liu Chang started to be troubled again. At present, a lot of things are in Zhou Chang's hands, and Zhou Chang is not willing to eat, and he can't be sent abroad. If you want to replace him, Then let him take over?If it doesn't change, how can I convince this "Donkey Prime Minister" who is even more stubborn than Xuanyi?

In Zhang Mansion, Zhang Cang was eating slowly.

Zhang Cang attaches great importance to what he eats. He does not waste precious ingredients. He just cares about how to eat them. For ordinary millet, he can make dozens of ways to eat ordinary rice. I started to taste it deliciously. Zhang Cang’s family has six cooks, and their skills are definitely not weaker than those of the cooks in the food supervisor next to Liu Chang.

Moreover, Zhang Cang eats very carefully. Whenever he eats, two beauties will serve him to eat.

Sometimes, Zhang Cang felt that it was too hard to chew the meat, and these beauties would help him. Cough, it is not convenient to elaborate on this.

When it comes to coveting wealth and honor, no one in the entire big man can compare to this one.

This one knows how to enjoy more than anyone else, and he is also very picky about women. If he takes a concubine, Zhang Cang doesn't like to be close to them when the woman gives birth, probably because Zhang Cang feels that these people are no longer as fresh as they used to be. Feel it.

But for the widow, he immediately changed his mind, but after getting close a few times, there was no freshness, so he no longer entangled.

All the ministers respected his knowledge and ability, but they were very contemptuous of his conduct.

Good food, lustful, inaction, laziness.

As long as he can stay at home, he will never go to work, and as long as Liu Chang doesn't tell him, he will never take the initiative to do things.

Everyone who was a Confucian all felt that this fellow threw Xunzi's face clean.

At this moment, Zhang Cang had a lot of millet, rice, and wheat placed in front of him, all of which came from different places and were made into different delicacies.

Under the service of the beauty, Zhang Cang chewed slowly, as if he was feeling something.

"This is Wu's rice, um, soft."

Zhang Cang squinted his eyes, nodded slightly, picked up the rice again, and looked at it seriously, always with a lazy look.

The beauty gently kneaded his shoulders for him, and Zhang Cang swallowed the rice.

Zhang Cang's life is also very regular, but the regularity is different from Zhang Budo.

After Zhang Cang woke up every day, he would always practice in the house.

Practice swordsmanship, exercise your muscles and bones, and then start eating.

Zhang Cang has high requirements for his own life, and there are people with excellent medical skills among the ministers. Whenever he feels a little uncomfortable, he will immediately let these doctors check, go to bed early every day, get up early, exercise, eat properly, combine vegetables and meat, He seldom drinks. According to the words of the imperial physician Ling Xia Wuqi, he has never seen someone who loves him so much in his life, and what he does is simply outrageous. People like this will definitely live longer!

Except for women, he hardly has any habit of hurting his body, and he rarely even gets angry.

And in the temple, he is also implementing his own way of health preservation, that is, he is persistent, never setting up enemies for himself, and never participating in any turmoil, which makes Zhang Cang live a very enjoyable life. In the worst case, he all retreated without being implicated in the slightest, and did nothing.

After eating, Zhang Cang got up, entered the inner room, and leisurely read the book.

He trained a lot of young people in Shaofu, and then distributed the things in his hands to them on the grounds of tempering them. This greatly reduced Zhang Cang's workload and allowed him to maintain his health with peace of mind.

Zhang Cang likes to read very much, so far, there are very few books he has not read. After all, he is a person who worked as an administrator in the Royal Library.

After reading the book for more than half an hour, a beauty walked in with a basin.

To wipe his feet, Zhang Cang put down the book in his hand and murmured in a low voice:

"A temporary court meeting."

"What is the good man saying?"

Zhang Cang looked at the beauty in front of him, stretched out his hand, lifted her hair, and asked:

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

"You are the smartest person in the world!"

There was a hint of admiration in the concubine's eyes.

Zhang Cang shook his head slowly, as if he did not agree.

The concubine hurriedly added: "Even His Majesty will come to ask you for advice when encountering difficulties, you are the smartest person in the world!"

"Have you ever thought that it's just because His Majesty is not smart enough to find me?"

The concubine turned pale in shock, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to take over.

Zhang Cang chuckled lightly, "What are you afraid of?"

"Have you finished washing?"

"It's been washed."

"I'll prepare the bedding for you, you can take a break"

"No need to prepare."

"I huh??"

The concubine raised her head and said incredulously, "But it's already noon."

Zhang Cang's life has rules to follow. Even if the sky falls, he has to take a lunch break on time in the middle of the day. When Tingwei was out to arrest Wu's most comrades, the people in the house were scared to death, but Zhang Cang was still there. Take a nap, completely unaffected by these things.

"I have to go to the palace, and I have to participate in the court proceedings."

"However, there is still an hour for the court meeting."

"It's okay, let someone prepare a carriage for me."

Under the terrified eyes of everyone in the Zhang residence, Zhang Cang got into the car and walked slowly towards the palace.

Just today, a small official came to report to many ministers that His Majesty wanted to convene a court meeting urgently.

Such ad hoc meetings are often held because of major events.

And Zhang Cang didn't have to think about it, he already understood the purpose of His Majesty's court meeting.

Zhou Chang is ill. Many of the things that Zhou Chang was responsible for in the past have to be taken personally by the emperor at this moment. Zhang Budo and Ji Bu can share some of them, but Zhou Chang is responsible for some things from the beginning, whether it is Zhang Budo or Ji Bu. , it is impossible to take over smoothly, and Zhou Chang is responsible for the most terrible thing of corvée.

In this kind of problem, if the takeover is not smooth, it may lead to disaster.

To delay or not to delay is another matter. The main reason is to fear that the government that benefits the people will turn into a tyranny that harms the people.

Zhang Cang arrived very early, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, the ministers hadn't arrived.

Only one Zhang Budo was waiting at the door.

Zhang Budo was also a little surprised when he saw Zhang Cang coming.

"Mr. Zhang?? Do you have something to come to see Your Majesty?"

"Come for the DPRK meeting."

"DPRK meeting???"

Zhang Budo raised his head and looked at the sun, "There's still more than an hour. Are you sick??"

"I haven't talked to the courtiers for a long time, so I came here early to catch up."

"Zhang Xiang. Are you currently in charge of household registration, officials, and military logistics?"

"yes."

"It's okay to stay here. Tell me about the status of this household registration?"

Zhang Budo didn't know why Zhang Cang was crazy, and he didn't have any friendship with him, so he asked himself what were these things doing?However, there is no need for Zhang Budo to hide it. Besides, this is the merit of His Majesty. Problems, their own solutions, etc., and also talked about the situation of officials in various places, promotion assessments, and recent assessments.

Zhang Cang didn't say much, just listened to Zhang Budo sing praises of His Majesty's impressive achievements over the years.

Gradually, the number of ministers increased.

Zhang Cang quietly mingled with these people, and asked about various situations with a smile. These people are just like Zhang Budo, and they don't understand why this guy came so early. Usually, you don't always hold the time. Arrive at the last minute to open the door? ?
Besides, when did you become so concerned about state affairs?
Of course, in the face of the emperor's teacher, Dahan Jiuqing, they did not dare to question directly and tell their own situation.

Zhang Cang nodded from time to time.

When the court meeting officially started, Zhang Cang followed the ministers into the palace.

Liu Chang sat in the upper seat and looked at the ministers in front of him.

"Zhou Xiang is seriously ill. First of all, this is the autumn harvest this year. Be prepared."

Sure enough, Chang Liu wanted to ask for a policy.

The importance of Zhou Chang was revealed at this moment.

The ministers looked at each other in dismay. They could still help make up their minds about the autumn harvest, but Zhou Chang was always in charge of this journey, and they didn't know what to say.

Liu Chang talked about several other things and asked the ministers for their thoughts one after another.

The ministers exchanged ideas with each other, and the hall became noisy.

Of course, there were also some emotions from the ministers in the noise.

"If only Zhou Xiang could come, he will definitely be able to come up with a safe solution for this matter."

"Yeah, I just went to visit him yesterday."

Now it's not just Liu Chang who has problems to be solved, the ministers also have their own problems and difficulties. Zhang Budoubt is capable, but if he were to directly replace Zhou Chang and be in charge of major domestic affairs, he would have some problems. It's not enough to watch, after all, he is still too young compared to these ministers.

"Your Majesty. I have a remark."

At this moment, one person stood up and broke the commotion of the ministers.

Liu Chang lowered his head and looked, the person who stood up was Zhang ********, what can you do? "

"These issues mentioned by the ministers, as well as the issues His Majesty is talking about now, are actually all because of the Prime Minister. Zhou's advanced age and poor health have delayed a lot of things. The minister asks His Majesty to allow Zhou to resign as the Prime Minister. Let him take care of his body at ease."

Liu Chang was stunned, dismissing Zhou Chang? ?

"Teacher, it's easy for you to say, but if he is dismissed, who can take over his position?"

"I can."

For a while, the hall was silent.

All the ministers looked at Zhang Cang in amazement, unable to believe what they were hearing now, what? ?Zhang Cang actually asked to be the prime minister? ?

The same is true of Liu Chang, he really knows his teacher too well.

What happened in the ordinary temple, he didn't have time to hide, why did he take the initiative to take matters on himself?

"Teacher, this is."

Liu Chang slowed down for a while, and then asked in a negotiating tone, "Then take you as your face??"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Cangxing bowed to see him, and then turned to look at the ministers.

"The first is this year's autumn harvest"

"This matter is mainly because Liu Jing is leaving for Hexi. Hexi has a prime minister, so don't be so anxious, send someone to stop Liu Jing, let him return to Chang'an quickly, prepare for the autumn harvest immediately, and wait until Luanbu. Come, let him go after the official handover."

"The matter of galloping the road is suspended, it may affect the matter of the autumn harvest."

"The situation of each government, you can come to report in turn."

Zhang Cang stood in front of the ministers, and the ministers talked about the problems they encountered. Zhang Cang discussed these issues with them not long ago. No matter what, after listening to Zhang Cang in a hurry, he can immediately Make comments, don't be in a hurry.

"There is no need to worry about preparing the seeds. I have eaten rice all over the place and found an interesting phenomenon. After the Nanyue rice was popularized in Wu State, there was actually a double-cropping situation. The rice grains were no longer the same as the Nanyue rice. As the ancients said, the same crops can bear different fruits in different places. I asked many local officials and found a strange phenomenon. All these Nanyue rice with double crops are distributed in Wu State. in the late rice area."

"Perhaps, this is not because the land where they grew up is different, but like war horses, the Huns are good at breeding war horses. Zhao's books have recorded such knowledge, tall and strong war horses mate with different war horses, can be born To produce different offspring is called breeding. Is this also the case with crops?"

"In this matter, the officials of the internal history need to be more attentive, not just randomly selecting seeds, but also conducting more tests, and more local inspections!"

The officials of the internal history who heard Zhang Cang's words were taken aback for a moment.

"The people take food as the sky. If your Majesty wants to prosper, you must have sufficient food, and this crop is the key to it. You can't just achieve this goal through reclamation. Your internal history has not done enough in this regard!"

Zhang Cang immediately looked at Zhang Budo.

"The same is true for you. In order to avoid the loss of farmers, it is necessary to increase the difficulty of farmers' registration? You have to understand why farmers are thinking about transferring to other households. What you need to do is to make farmers satisfied with their situation, not Use various methods to prohibit them from transferring nationality, why don't you understand this truth?"

"Today's peasant households do not have any difficulties in terms of taxes, levies, and servitude, so why do they still want to change their nationality? Why is their life still so difficult? The main problem is probably because of the degree of fatigue in farming. Give them arable land, but the arable land will not grow food for no reason. The people work hard, and the food they harvest can only make ends meet. To improve agricultural technology, find ways to reduce the intensity of work, teach correct agricultural methods, and also Improving soil strength and cultivating an acre of fertile land is different from cultivating an acre of bad soil."

"In the past, the Qin people used manure as agricultural material, the Zhao people used human arrows, the Wei people used silkworm arrows, the Qi people used bone juice, bean kips, the Chu people used river mud, and the Bashu people used pupa juice."

"I heard that dry and barren land can be turned into fertile land by using river mud to irrigate it."

"It's still the incompetence of your internal history!"

"As for no doubt, what you've done is really rough. For household registration, you need to use a lot of numbers, and you can't use the principles of saints."

"Later, I'll teach you how to manage household registration in Qin."

Zhang Cang spoke quickly, and Elder Liu sat honestly in the upper seat, widened his eyes, and listened to the teacher seriously.

"In order to make the people live a good life, it is necessary to increase grain production, and to try various methods to increase grain production. This is not a matter for one government alone. It requires the cooperation of multiple governments. Feng Jing, your pedestrian army has no Good practice, but you still have officials under your command, send more people to various places to explore, don’t explore the enemy’s situation, explore the local crops and observe their yields and characteristics.”

"Your Majesty's prosperity cannot be achieved in one day. It has to be accomplished in one day. The first thing to do is to satisfy everyone! Three meals a day!!"

"Everyone, within 30 years, we must let the people of the world have food!!!"

Zhang Cang said seriously.

And the ministers were just dumbfounded, is this fellow really here? ? ?
Does he really want to start to create that impossible prosperous world for His Majesty? ? ?
"Your Majesty, I don't understand."

"What do you not understand?"

"Why is Your Majesty so obsessed with creating that prosperous world?"

"Hahaha, I tell you secretly, don't tell anyone else, in a dream, I heard that the prosperous people call themselves Han!"
