Father Han Gaozu

"Your Highness, why don't you go to the courtier yourself?"

Although Zhou Sheng is considered the little leader of these people, his memory is really not very good. This time he also faltered, and he couldn't say a single thing that Chao Cuo explained. He watched his brothers chattering , None of what he said was reliable, he asked helplessly.

Liu An was taken aback, and wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Now I am different from the past, as a prince, it would be inappropriate to go to Tingwei."

"What's wrong with this? Doesn't Your Majesty go to Tingwei every day? I have seen Your Majesty several times in Tingwei. Your Majesty knows Tingwei better than us!"

Zhou Zuoche elbowed Zhou Sheng, and scolded angrily: "Your Highness is unwilling to go? Your Highness is afraid to go! Zhang Shizhi has a grudge against His Highness, and His Highness's car is walking in Chang'an If you see Zhang Shizhi, you have to avoid him, let alone go directly to Tingwei, isn’t that asking for trouble?”

Zhou Sheng came to his senses immediately, and shouted: "Zhang Shizhi is a female gangster, really hateful, we can't let this guy be so proud, we have to find a chance to kill this guy, let Xuan Ping's father come to the court Wei, when the Ting Wei soldiers come to arrest us, we can hold Xuan Ping hostage!"

Liu An's face turned dark, and he said displeasedly: "Nonsense, who said I dare not go to Tingwei? What about Zhang Shizhi? I just hate this person and don't want to see him!"

"Don't talk about anything else, just tell me everything Chao Cuo ordered!"

Everyone continued to talk, but what they said was a bit outrageous.

"Chao Cuo, he said, let those scholars raise pigs!"

Liu An looked at Xia Houci in disbelief, "Are you sure Chao Cuoshi said that???"

Xia Houci's face was full of confidence, "Of course, I heard him say that those who don't raise pigs will not be accepted!"

"He said he doesn't accept those who raise pigs?"

Several people discussed again, but they were all sure that Chao Cuo had indeed said something about raising pigs. Liu An was a little dazed, and he looked blankly at Feng Tang, who was also frowning at this moment. What does it have to do with raising pigs? ?
Feng Tang hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, why don't you send someone to investigate?"

Liu An was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice: "This time we are conducting an assessment in the county government. The small officials in the county government usually have the most contact with these common people... and the children of the powerful and powerful, they have always They disdain to associate with common people, what Chao Cuo means may be to let us recruit some low-status people..."

As Liu An talked, he even convinced himself, "That's right, Chao Cuo just wants to weed out those rich and powerful children who don't want to do dirty work and participate in the assessment just for the sake of gilding. These powerful children come to participate in the assessment. There is no way for children from poor families to compete, but if it is an assessment of raising pigs, those powerful people will definitely give up..."

"In this way, we will be able to find a lot of people who can endure hardships and stand hard work from the people!!"

Liu An clapped his hands suddenly, and shouted: "As expected of Mr. Chao!! You really are! No wonder this Lu Jia always disagrees with my letter. Sure enough, my thinking is still a bit too one-sided."

Soon, Liu An lowered his head and specified in his letter the assessment content on raising pigs in detail, including arranging a seven-day pig raising process to see who can raise the best pigs. In fact, he took the opportunity Get rid of some dignitaries who come to gild, after all, raising pigs is a humiliation to the dignitaries.

...

Liu An was in a good mood, and looked at the sages again, "Come on, come on, keep talking!"

Xia Houci said again at this moment: "Chao Cuo also said that participating in the assessment requires the scholars to pay for it! We must rob them of their money!"

Liu An was about to pick up the pen to get familiar with it, but suddenly he was dazed again, looking at Xia Houci, "Are you sure???"

Zhou Sheng saw that the prince was suspicious, so he stopped immediately, slapped his chest, and vouched for Xiahouci, he said: "Your Highness, Xiahouci is a talented and intelligent boy, even among our sages, he is also famous Yes, he has the best memory, and he must be right!"

"Yes, yes, I also remember what Mr. Chao said about robbing his property, yes, Mr. Chao said so, he said

It depends on who is rich, and then robs the richest person, and robs in front of everyone, so that many people can see it, which has a very good effect! "

Liu An looked at Feng Tang blankly, Feng Tang couldn't sit still at all.

"Your Highness, this is not right. Raising pigs makes sense. Why is this robbing property? When someone comes to participate in the assessment and become an official, we go to rob other people's property. How is this decent? Let everyone in the world know. Isn’t this nonsense? I’m sure Mr. Chao would not say such a thing, if it’s not possible, I’d better send someone to ask Chao Cuo, don’t listen to these people’s nonsense…”

Zhou Sheng was furious, "Old man! We have worked so hard to get out from Tingwei and deliver the news, but do you think we are talking nonsense? Everything we say is the truth!! If half of us To tell a lie, you asked His Highness to execute me directly!"

Liu An hurriedly said, "Don't be rude to Duke Feng!"

Liu An frowned and pondered again, "The purpose of raising pigs is to weed out the rich and powerful, and why is it robbing? Yes! I understand. Now that the world is doing business, merchants from all over the world want to earn more money. He is doing his best to support his own sons and daughters to become officials!"

"But their reputation is not good, so there is no way to become an official through other means. Could it be that Mr. Chao's move is to weed out those merchants' families? The rich and powerful are unwilling to raise pigs, but merchants may not be willing to do so. The world is manifested, this is to give more opportunities to those scholars who are born in poverty and have no family property..."

"Do you want to warn those merchants not to participate?"

Mao Chang couldn't sit still anymore, "Your Highness, this time the assessment is to call for scholars from all over the world. Your Majesty has already lifted the restrictions on merchants. Why don't you recruit their disciples? It's unfair!"

Liu An shook his head, "Mr. Chao is a capable person, so he may not be so superficial. I think he must have deeper thoughts, but I can't figure it out... However, my brothers can be trusted, they will not lie , Mr. Chao will not be wrong.”

"I see!!!"

Liu An slapped his thigh violently, and shouted: "Mr. Chao said that he wanted to rob the richest. This is not to eliminate all merchants, just like the rich and powerful, but to eliminate those big merchants. Big merchants are just like the rich and powerful, even more It’s bad, those big merchants in the Liang Kingdom have already done a lot of things that harm the people!”

"These people subsidize their children to enter the county government office, just for their own personal gain and to make things more convenient. My father has said many times that these big merchants have no family and country, and even thought about selling them secretly when they were poisoned in business. Prohibited Ordnance Monk Fang blueprint!"

...

"Chao Gong is also unwilling to make the assessment a place for these people to seek personal gain! No wonder the richest one is added!"

"As expected of Mr. Chao!!"

Liu An became more and more excited as he spoke, and he convinced himself once again. He looked at the servants around him excitedly, "Gong Chao is my father's servant, and even my father appreciates his talent. Comparable to him, now it seems that this statement is true!"

"It's a pity, this person has a bad personality, otherwise, he will really be my virtuous prime minister in the future!"

Liu An quickly wrote out the policy of weeding out dignitaries and big merchants, and favoring ordinary people and scholars as much as possible, and asked Mao Chang to explain in detail, classify various situations, and do a good job for the children of big merchants. There are many restrictions, for example, if they want to participate in the assessment, they have to spend a lot of money, and this money will be used for enlightenment studies, etc...

The sages were overjoyed, and Zhou Sheng looked at Feng Tang provocatively, and asked, "How is it? Are we still talking nonsense? Do you know how many times we were beaten by Tingwei in order to pass on this news, no matter what? No matter how they fight, we have not given our mission!"

Zhou Zuoche also wiped his tears and said: "In order to be able to enter the imperial court, we even bear a bad reputation. We love and respect General Xiahou so much, we even offended him!!"

Looking at this group of sanctimonious things, Feng Tang took a deep breath and ignored them.

"Pig raising, robbery, what else, keep talking! Keep talking! Xia Houci, tell me!"

"Then comes the formulation of the assessment."

Xia Houci was very confident. He said without hesitation: "When we came out, Mr. Chao said that when drafting the content of the assessment, we must marry them, let them form a couple, grow old together, and live together..."

Feng Tang stood up abruptly, "Your Highness!!!"

Liu An frowned again, "What's the meaning of this? Could it be to test their ability to cooperate? Let them get along with each other? No, Mr. Chao must have other deep meanings..."

The sages stayed with Liu An until the evening, and several of them lived here directly. Liu An also quickly perfected his letter. After the words of the sages, Liu An's letter has become completely different from the last time. Different, completely different, this thing, Liu An did not believe that he could write it.

Because this is so different, the various assessment contents and assessment methods are completely unheard of, and I have never heard of them. This advanced one is a bit too advanced. The more Liu An looks at it, the more satisfied he is. This is probably why he is not as good as Chao Cuo. Well, this Chao Cuo is really powerful!
After thinking about it for so many days, I only thought about it a little bit. Chao Cuo is good. The things he proposed are really unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future, and no one can match them.

He is such a talented person, his own family can't compare, why are all the good talents belonged to my father?
Liu An didn't understand why, but, this thing should have passed through Lu Jia, right?
Liu An didn't dare to procrastinate any longer. After the plan was completed, he led his servants to Lu Jia's mansion in a hurry, intending to teach Lu Jia all these things for review.

Ju Meng followed behind Liu An, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, we will preside over this assessment. This is a good opportunity to increase our reputation. We must not miss it. Now that Chao Cuo is in prison, no one knows. What he played for us, why not just say that this is our own idea..."

...

When Liu An heard this, he frowned immediately.

"Nonsense!"

"As the prince of a great man, how can I do such a thing? As a king, can I still swallow the credit of the ministers?Is this something a king can do?That's something even a tyrant can't do! ! "

Mao Chang's face changed drastically, and he began to cough crazily.

His meaning is very clear, Your Highness, you should be careful what you say, someone has heard that something is going to happen!
Liu An didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "I just want to let the world know that I am a person who can use talents, and I will not swallow the merits of ministers. If you go around, just say that it is not Chao Cuo. I will never be able to do this!!"

"In the future, ministers from all over the world can tell me their good ideas. If they are wrong, I will not blame them. If they are right, I will definitely reward them!"

"only!!"

When Liu An handed over his new plan to Lu Jia, Lu Jia, the fierce man who beat Xiang Yu, went to South Vietnam, fought against the Huns, and overthrew the Western Regions, was a little confused, and his expression became more and more serious. Complicated, he began to pull his beard, and his expression became more serious the more he looked at it.

Liu An sat in front of him confidently, waiting for his evaluation.

Lu Jia murmured: "Your Highness is a genius, I have never heard of these assessment methods. They are really strange, but they must have miraculous effects...Your Highness is a genius, I admire you!"

Liu An said with some shame: "Actually, these are not my thoughts. Chao Cuo sent someone from the prison to send them to me. I'm still not as good as Chao Gong."

"Ah??? Chao wrong idea?? Impossible!!"

Lu Jia vetoed it, and he shook his head firmly, "This is definitely not what Chao Cuo came up with. Chao Cuo's proposed government has always been radical, and it is correct, not strange. This is not like what he can draw up. .”

"Mr. Lu, I'm not cheating. It's true that Chao Cuo himself planned this. This is what I heard with my own ears. Maybe he had a different idea in prison. Chao Cuo has been thinking about it for years. , and the progress is quite large"

"But this change is too big..."

Lu Jia hesitated for a moment, then said: "Chao Cuo is a man of great talent, but unfortunately, if he can change, he may not be able to reach the level of Hou Hou, Beiping.
Hou's situation, but, this person is too anxious, he is not suitable for His Highness, and can only be used by His Majesty. "

"Such a person is like a sharp sword. If you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself."

Liu An said seriously, "Don't worry, I have learned swordsmanship from my father since I was a child. Even if I can't learn all of my father's swordsmanship, I will definitely learn [-]% of it!"

Lu Jia laughed, and this was the first time he smiled at Liu An, "Your Highness has ambition! Well, I didn't agree with Your Highness at first, but the content of Your Highness mostly refers to various ancient books. It seems perfect, but It’s empty, without an accurate idea.”

"Now it seems that His Highness has found an idea. The so-called assessment is actually for the selection of talents. To be precise, it is to select talents from the bottom and break the monopoly of the rich and powerful. It is for the sake of rejuvenating the country. Now Your Highness has seen it through and made a decision. A lot of countermeasures, this is enough, the old minister agreed, and His Highness can carry it out!!"

...

Liu An was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Since you have already discovered my shortcomings, why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Jia smiled wryly, "I'm old, and I can still remind Your Highness now, but if I'm not here in the future, who should remind me? There are some things that His Highness should think about on his own, but what's the matter, Chao Cuo ...However, Chao Cuo is still young, he can still remind His Highness for a long time, but His Highness still needs to learn to analyze by himself..."

Liu An got up very sincerely, and saluted Lu Jia again.

"There were a lot of offenses before, please don't be offended."

"It's okay, Your Highness, let's go to work quickly!"

Liu An got Lu Jia's permission, and immediately started to act. First, he wanted to pass Lu Jia here and publish the assessment in the newspapers. Today's newspapers are still very busy, and they are all reporting about the giant bandits in Longxi. matter.

After Liu Chang made the decision, because he suffered too much opposition from the ministers, he asked the Fengchang Mansion to publish this matter in the newspaper for everyone in the world to see, especially explaining that Guo Xie had escaped the criminal law several times. , The matter of harming the common people in various places.

Sure enough, after the news spread to various places, the ministers did not dare to object to Xu negative.

After learning of Guo Xie's crimes, the people everywhere were very satisfied with the results of their family's treatment. Such a villain, it is not a pity to die. Those who shielded him committed even greater crimes. Hundreds of lives were lost. their share!!
The people not only demanded the disposal of his clan, but also hoped that the officials who colluded with them would be disposed of together.

When people all over the world began to condemn Guo Xie, the ministers became more cautious. They didn't want their reputation to be stained, especially when the Tai students began to demand punishment. Those lunatics from Taixue will be targeted.

Liu An mobilized all his family members and sages, and began to handle this matter. The news of the assessment quickly spread, and scholars from all over the place started to get up and go to Chang'an, and Liu An also became busy.

At this time, Ting Wei finally found out the problem of water management. Chao Cuo did have excessive power. The number of people he reported did not match the number of migrants. This is a felony, but he did not cause any casualties. This guy actually pays for the subsidy out of his own pocket. In order to make things happen, he also worked hard.

After various investigations, Ting Wei made a verdict on Chao Cuo, fined him twenty armors, and demoted him to one rank.

Chao Cuo didn't care about this kind of punishment. When Zhang Shizhi came to let him go, he was full of pride, "Oh, I told you earlier, you will let me go, how about it?"

"Even if I'm in prison, the assessment is still done according to my orders!"

Zhang Shizhi nodded, "Your idea is good, I also read it from the newspaper, but why do you let talented people raise pigs?"

"Ah?? Who told them to raise pigs??"

"Um... Didn't you say that you sent someone to tell the prince that the wise men should raise pigs?"

"I'm talking about Yang Zhu!! The Yang Zhu School!! The Yang Zhu School of Taoism!!"

"Then stealing property??"

"What kind of robbery!! I'm talking about strong talent!! If there is

Those who have outstanding talents in a certain area can be directly adopted, they are strong talents!!"

"So joining the team in pairs, cooking for yourself, putting on a strong suit, hunting wild boars in the wild, are all different from what you said?"

Chao Cuo was dumbfounded, confused for a long time, what are these things? ? ?
Finally, he looked at Zhang Shizhi dully, and murmured:
"I've thought about it. I have committed a heinous crime. I really can't be released...I'd better go back to prison."
