I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 384 You Are Born To Be Useful

One exam attracted more than [-] migrants to Chang'an, and Liu Sheng felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

If the main theme of the new era is development, then the core focus of the feudal era should be stability.

The farming and feudal civilization with the theme of small peasant economy is actually very fragile.

A natural disaster, a man-made disaster, or even a rumor may cause an indelible blow to the fragile farming and feudal civilization.

Therefore, since the day when human beings entered the relatively more advanced farming and feudal civilization from the ignorant slavery civilization, stability has always been the top priority of the ruler.

——Xia Jie has no way, where is the no way?

When Cheng Tang defeated Jie, he mobilized the army and people under his rule. The original words were: Xia Jie willfully exhausted the labor force of the people and endlessly consumed the national power of the Xia Dynasty, so the people also slack off and did not cooperate with him;

People all over the world said: Xia Jie, when will the damn sun die?We would all like to die with you.

In other words, the "Xia Jie Wudao" of the year before last was sung for future generations. To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: it did not let the people live a good life.

——Shang Zhou was tyrannical, and where was the tyranny?

Some people may say: Shang Emperor Xin is the last human emperor and the last co-lord of the human race;

As for the latter, they are nothing but self-willed and depraved 'sons of heaven'.

But as long as you know what happened to the people of Yin and Shang when Shang Zhou was in power, it is not difficult to find out: when the days are really hard to live, when you can’t eat enough, and you can’t even save your life, what kind of emperor or emperor is actually nothing? different.

According to records, during the reign of Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, built a large number of construction projects, endlessly expanded the palace, and even poured all the power of the country to build the Deer Terrace, and filled it with money, food, and various rare treasures.

While increasing taxes, he wasted money on the one hand, so extravagant, but still ignored the government, and instead ran to Daji, who was disastrous to the country and the people, to do wine pools and meat forests.

Even on this basis, the conquest of Dongyi is still not stopped!
It can only be said that those foolish and tyrants in later generations just imitated a certain behavior of Emperor Xin of Shang Dynasty;

However, Di Xin is a master of the way of 'faint and brutal'.

As for the later Qin, let alone.

The Great Wall in the north, and the Qin Zhidao that extends beyond the Great Wall;
Lingnan in the south, and countless old Qin people who died in the tropical rainforest;
In the East China Sea in the east, Xu Fu led a huge fleet, but only to seek immortality and medicine for Ying Zheng;

Even the Southwest Yi, which later generations called the "barren land" of mountains, was bit the bullet and paved a five-foot road by Ying Zheng.

Construction is going on everywhere, roads are being paved, ditches are being dug, or city walls are being built.

Therefore, the people of the six countries are like this, and so are the people of the old Qin...

From these past experiences, as well as what he has seen and heard in later generations, and his cognition as an ordinary person in later generations, Liu Sheng can actually easily draw a conclusion: what the feudal dynasty needs to do is actually to say, "Let the common people eat their stomachs, the old Honestly farming at home'.

Only in this way can the rule of the dynasty be stabilized, the cost of rule can be filled with taxation, and some things can be tried to promote the progress of civilization.

And the biggest enemy of the word "stable" is population concentration.

——Even if the Han Dynasty, at least the rulers of the Han Dynasty so far, have done better than Jie Zhou, Ying Zheng and other predecessors, Liu Sheng has to admit that the people at the bottom of this era are still in dire straits the edge of.

Liu Sheng is very sure: that day when people from all over the world gathered together and drank two mouthfuls of gallant urine, there would definitely be some discordant topics and remarks.

If it is on weekdays, the old farmer is tired from working in the field, at worst, he will raise his head to the sky and scream: Son of a dog, we farmers are really suffering to death!

After venting, wipe off the sweat, and then continue to bow and work.

But when the population gathers together, especially on the order of '[-]', whether such topics will be extended is beyond Liu Sheng's control.

Therefore, for the sake of 'stability' and for the result of this examination to be 'the world is full of joy' rather than 'the emperor loses the hearts of the people', Liu Sheng must ensure that everything is covered.

——Scholars who have been admitted must arrange their duties according to their commitments;

Even if the starting position is lower, a group of representatives have to be selected to meet with them to show the "magnificence of the emperor's grace".

Scholars who did not pass the exam also had to be appeased to a certain extent, and no matter how bad they were, they had to be given some wine and meat to eat, which should be regarded as consolation.

Besides, the most important thing Liu Sheng needs to pay attention to is not to let this large number of outsiders disrupt the original order in Chang'an.

For example, the prices of daily necessities such as salt and grain should not cause too many fluctuations because the population of Chang'an skyrocketed by more than half.

Another example is the sudden increase in population, which will inevitably bring security problems...
"Whoo~"

"Hope everything goes well..."

"If there is any trouble in the first exam, then my face will be completely lost..."

If he sighed, Liu Sheng straightened up slowly, raised his hands above his head, and stretched vigorously.

Feeling that the exhaustion and tiredness in his body were dispelled, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips placed on the imperial case in front of him.

Slightly stunned, Liu Sheng finally got up from the imperial couch with a smile as if he remembered something.

"After sitting for three days, it's time to go out and walk around."

"I don't know if uncle has finished what I explained earlier..."

···
"Summer sparrow~"

"Summer sparrow?"

"Go, call the servant."

"Prepare the chariot, drive it to the forest."

·
Among the emperors of the Han family, Liu Sheng is probably the one who likes to come to Shanglinyuan the most.

Taizu Gao, Emperor Liu Bang, let alone came to Shanglinyuan - he sat on the throne for seven years, and the time in Chang'an, the time in Chang'an, I am afraid that it is less than two years.

During most of his ruling career, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, belonged to "either leading the army to suppress the rebellion, or on the way of the imperial conquest".

Even Chang'an didn't stay very much, let alone be able to spare time. At that time, there was no such large-scale Shanglin Garden to play and relax.

After Emperor Taizu, there was Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying.

The emperor, who died young, reigned for seven years like his father Liu Bang.

Only in the first five years of these seven years, the Weiguan emperor who came to the throne at the age of 15 could only study in the Weiyang Palace;

In the following two years, after feeling disheartened towards her mother, she just resigned herself to depravity in the Weiyang Palace, and in just two years, she used up her life with wine and sex.

The next two young emperors have hardly been out of Chang'an City since they were born, let alone more.

Even the Empress Dowager Lu, who has been in power for 15 years, rarely leaves Chang'an because of her status as a "Queen Mother", and even rarely leaves the Changle Palace that she "occupied".

——Before Empress Dowager Lu occupied Changle Palace, Changle Palace belonged to the emperor of Han Dynasty;

Today's imperial palace: Weiyang Palace is the harem ordered by Liu Bang to be built for his wife Lu Zhi (the harem is not the harem, it refers specifically to the "Queen's Palace").

After Empress Dowager Lu, there were Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and Emperor Xian Xiaojing, the "two emperors of Wen and Jing".

These two, on the other hand, often walked out of Chang'an City, and were happy to walk around, look around, and have a look outside the city.

However, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen came to Shanglinyuan, he preferred to squat on the ridge of the field and watch the old farmers fiddle with the crops;

It's common for him to roll up his sleeves and work for a while in summer when he sees it.

As for the late emperors who came to Shanglin Garden, most of them brought the concubines of Zhenglong's concubines to play, or went hunting with his younger brother Liu Wu and several other offshoots of the clan.

Liu Sheng came here every now and then, and went straight to the area where the Shaofu workshops gathered. It was a situation that had never happened before.

But for this situation, the ruling and opposition parties are not worried.

Not only was he not worried, on the contrary he was quite comforted.

——The young emperor can not indulge in pleasure, can always keep in mind his responsibilities and the burden on his shoulders, which has already made most people feel extremely satisfied. In essence, the old man sighed with tears that "the land has a future"!

On this basis, Liu Sheng's entertainment projects are limited to "running to the Shaofu workshop in Shanglinyuan and chatting with the craftsmen", which is even more reassuring.

After all, no matter what, this is much more serious than other "hobbies" that do not do business, isn't it?
Even if Liu Sheng really went to wander and play, the court could at least be able to whitewash it: Your Majesty~ This is the work of inspecting the Shaofu~
I don’t even forget to inspect the work when I go out to play, but it’s really a sage king, what a blessing in the world~
Different from inside and outside the court, the Shaofu itself is much more serious about Liu Sheng's 'tacit' that he often visits Shanglin Garden.

Because only the officials of the Shaofu knew that Liu Sheng came to Shanglinyuan to inspect the work...
Especially recently, the young emperor's uncle and the only elder brother of the current Empress Dowager Jia: Jia Gui, Marquis of Zhongwu, was temporarily appointed as the supervisor of the Shaofu to be in charge of the advancement of a secret project...

"coming!"

With a soft cry, all the officials of the Shaofu raised their heads together, and saw at the foot of the mountain in the distance, the imperial chariot was slowly approaching the workshop halfway up the mountain.

Jia Gui, who was standing at the front of the crowd, was also half expectant, excited, and half uneasy at this time, his eyes locked on the left side of the yellow house, but he did not forget to turn his body slightly, and the first Countless times, with the help of the servants beside him, he adjusted his clothes.

No matter whether Jia Gui tidied it up or not, Yuan An, the servant driving the imperial chariot, would not slow down;

When the imperial chariot slowly stopped halfway up the mountain, Jia Guizong still felt that it was not perfect, so he turned around quickly and walked forward quickly.

Just as he was about to perform the prostration ceremony, he saw the car door on the back of the imperial chariot open outwards, and then the young emperor in casual clothes jumped out of the car with a happy face.

"I think you have already figured out how to tell your uncle?"

The very rude greeting only made Jia Gui slightly taken aback, and immediately swallowed all the written manuscripts back into his stomach, and cupped his hands cautiously.

"Report to His Majesty;"

"In another three to five days, it will be over."

"Even if His Majesty doesn't come, the minister is preparing to go to Weiyang to face the saint tomorrow..."

Liu Sheng didn't pay too much attention to his uncle Jia Gui's politeness, he just raised his hand carelessly, hugged him on the shoulder, and walked straight towards the workshop not far away.

While walking, he did not forget to raise his family property like a real uncle-nephew, like a very affectionate uncle-nephew.

"How is Auntie?"

"Uncle hasn't returned to Chang'an for such a long time, and if my aunt doesn't say anything, I'm afraid it's because I'm a nephew who is not sensible..."

···
"Where's Ah Qiang?"

"It is said that you have worshiped under the Marquis Tiao, but have you made progress?"

"If he succeeds in his studies, he will be a general of our Han family~"

Walking all the way, talking all the way, when he came to that workshop, most of Jia Gui's restraint was dispelled by Liu Sheng's closeness.

He stopped outside the workshop, and responded to Liu Sheng's random questions in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Jia Gui turned slightly, and made a "please" gesture to Liu Sheng with his hand towards the entrance of the workshop.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Sheng came here, he was in a hurry, and he asked, "Have you done what you told me?" Now it's time to test the results, but it seems that he is not in a hurry.

Without a trace, Xia Que came back to his senses, and with just one look, Xia Quui bowed down, and then waved his hand lightly, leading the accompanying guards and Lang Guan back a little bit;
With the condition of 'whispering', Liu Sheng laughed and pulled Jia Gui's arm, leaning into his ear: "My nephew has arrived at Changle Palace, please play the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager~"

"As long as the matter is done this time, the position of the young minister, uncle, will do his part..."

Different from the joyful expression on Liu Sheng's face, and a little bit beyond Liu Sheng's expectation, after hearing such a straightforward 'hint' from himself, what immediately appeared on Jia Gui's face was a swaying look. lingering doubts.

Under Liu Sheng's suspicious gaze, he struggled for a long time, and imitated Liu Sheng's appearance, looking left and right;

After making sure that no one other than Liu Sheng would hear what he said, Jia Gui lowered his voice and whispered his worries.

"Your Majesty is so trustworthy, I should be grateful and dedicated to my duty;"

"It's just that even if this matter is done well, His Majesty probably shouldn't directly appoint the minister as Jiuqing."

"—Your Majesty is young and has not been crowned, and has not yet ruled personally;"

"I'm afraid that both inside and outside the court and the public will hold grudges against His Majesty..."

···
"Furthermore, Zhang Wuhou, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, almost became the prime minister back then, but was organized by the Empress Dowager."

"As a minister and relative, if you really become the young minister..."

But Liu Sheng heard the words, waved his hands nonchalantly, and let out a long "Hi~";
Then he said: "Uncle filtered it~"

"For foreign relatives to enter the court, they are different from foreign ministers. Let alone Jiuqing, even Sangong, it all depends on the emperor's word."

"—Back then, Wei Qihou had directly paid homage to the great general since the crown prince Zhan Shi. Who would dare to say no to him inside and outside the court?"

"Uncle will settle this matter with peace of mind, and my nephew and mother will take care of the rest."

···
"As for Zhang Wuhou..."

"Hey;"

"Uncle, don't think so much."

"My nephew has thought about it carefully. Uncle's being the Minister of the Young Mansion is the real way of 'being able to get his job'."

"This young mansion has been neglected for a long time~"

"Besides my uncle, my nephew is really worried about outsiders..."
