Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 329

"Two catties of pork belly, thirty big bucks, thank you for your patronage." Liu Xie cut off a piece of meat with a knife, and threw it to Butcher Zhu to weigh it, no more, no less, exactly two catties. Silly.Not only that, Liu Xie cut another piece of lard and put it in the pork belly: "This is for your boss, come back later."

At this moment, Tai Shici didn't care to despise Leng Shouguang, an eunuch, and looked at Leng Shouguang with proving eyes: Our Majesty, isn't it really the blood of Emperor Ling?With this posture and technique, he is clearly more skilled than a butcher who has been selling pork for more than ten years...

And Leng Shouguang's eyes are very interesting, there is both resentment and anger in his eyes, but when these two expressions come together, it seems to become a resentment that only women have: General Taishi, how can you be like this? What about our son of heaven?The son of our family is a generalist born with knowledge and natural talent, not to mention selling meat, killing people and setting fires, and governing the world, isn't he also a first-class master?
The two of them had a detailed and rigorous argument with Liu Xie in silence, back and forth, flirting with each other. In the end, of course, Leng Shouguang, who had been with Liu Xie for a long time, prevailed.

But at this moment, the two of them suddenly heard the sound of the boning knife chopping on the meat case, and when they turned around, they saw Liu Xie had already grabbed a rag and wiped his hands, and proudly showed off to Butcher Zhu: "Old man Zhu, it’s not that I told you that when doing business, you have to greet people with a smile and make money with kindness. How can you do business well with your dark face all the time?”

Butcher Zhu was shocked and aggrieved at the moment. Liu Xie had already bought all his meat for the day in less than half an hour!

The Son of Heaven is indeed the Son of Heaven, if he changed his career to selling meat, wouldn't he have closed the business long ago?But the grievance is, Your Majesty, my old Zhu's face is dark from birth, please don't hit me again, okay?

After successfully intimidating Lao Zhu, and even more successfully blending in with the common people, Liu Xie remembered today's business, took Lao Zhu to sit down, and chatted with other common people:
"People, we big men won the battle in Kansai. However, for this great battle, I lost all the money I got from Hedong and Nanyang last year. You also know that fighting is burning Qian kills you, look at that General Shenweitian, who is less than twenty years old, sounds majestic, let me tell you, he is all bedridden, what a crime..."

"Yeah, I don't know what the people in Kansai think, why they like to rebel so much..." The people don't understand the country's affairs, but what they say is most related to the country's affairs: "Nowadays, the people of the big Han If you want to farm, as long as you register for household registration, you will be given the land, cattle and seeds. After three years of planting, it will be your own land; Technology, the imperial court still enlists orders from time to time...however, life is much better than before."

"Old Liu, you don't understand. What you're talking about are all Han people. I heard that those Xiongnu and Qianghu are not good."

"Why not? Isn't the house opposite the Huns the Huns? You see, the five horses raised in the house are subsidized by the imperial court. If I have the skills of herding horses and sheep, I don't just want to grow potatoes... "

"I can't do it with you, but I can't do it. The family opposite you has connections to get subsidies from the imperial court. Look at the Huns who usually come to Chang'an to do business, even the tax is three points higher than that of the Han people. Our Han people Life is easier, the Xiongnu and Qianghu were originally born in the bitterly cold place over there, and seeing us live so well, can they rebel with envy."

"Yeah, it's no wonder that there have been many rebellions in the frontier since ancient times. Here, the rich and powerful families are so rich, but there are so poor that they can only burn cow dung for the winter. If I were a Xiongnu or Qianghu, I would be damned..."

The old man didn't stop talking, and suddenly realized that the emperor of the big man was still by his side. After he realized that his words were like rebellion, his legs trembled in fright, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, old man!" You can't speak if you have a mouth, damn it, damn it." As he said that, he wanted to kowtow and slap his own mouth, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

On the other hand, Liu Xie seemed to have just reacted at this moment, and hurried forward to help the old man: "What is the old man saying, the world's affairs have their own opinions. I am the Son of Heaven, so I have to find ways to let the world know Have a good time."

After comforting the old man, Liu Xie asked the old man again seriously: "However, old man, do you really think that this is the reason for the alien rebellion? If I order the world, no matter the Han, Qiang, Hu, or Hun , the imperial court regards them as one, wouldn’t you be ashamed of it?”

"They were all raised by their parents, not those who were born thinking of being Qiang Hu and robbers. If Your Majesty can really do this, those Qiang Hu and Huns will rebel again, and they should be wiped out!" Zhu Tuhu said in a low voice. Open your mouth, although the words are rough, but the reasoning is not rough.

"In this way, I have a good idea." Liu Xie stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.How dare the common people accept this gift, they all knelt down to return the gift, but when they raised their heads again, Liu Xie was nowhere to be seen.

Afterwards, Liu Xie did not return to Weiyang Palace until it was getting late.During these half a day, he almost always repeated his old tricks. After getting acquainted with a group of people, he began to ask them about the foreign race, and the answers he got were similar.Except for a small number of people who were killed by the Qiang Hu and destroyed their families, the people in Chang'an unexpectedly exceeded Liu Xie's expectations, with a heart of tolerance and openness that surpassed this era.

He did these things, of course, not without reason.In fact, after the First World War in Kansai, although Han Sui was unable to look eastward, the Han Dynasty also needed a period of time to recuperate and accumulate strength.Not to mention, he, who is familiar with history, also clearly knows that this year, Guanzhong will be a year of severe drought.

Liu Xie is not worried about the upcoming severe drought this year.After all, even in the year of Shishishan, the imperial court seemed to be unable to save many people by relying on the food stored in the treasury.But today's big man, the treasury does not say that it is full, but that the drought-tolerant potato crops can at most reduce the yield of the fields, which is far from the point of chaos in Guanzhong.What's more, in the spring of this year, Liu Xie ordered Zhong Yao to focus on building water conservancy and digging wells to store water.

Liu Xie is most worried about the issue of rebellion in Kansai.Ma Chao is guarding Kansai right now, but Ma Chao is full of hatred, obviously not in the mood to govern the civil affairs, even if he has that intention, his internal affairs ability... ha ha.

To deal with the Qiang and Hu aliens, it is not enough to suppress them with an iron fist.Now that Ma Chao's iron fist hits, it has softened the Kanxi Qianghu.But in the end, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After thinking about it, Liu Xies still thinks that there is only one way to solve the problem in Kansai, and that is to officially issue an edict and tell the Qiang Hu... not only the Qiang Hu, but also the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Nanman, Nanyue and other foreign races, the imperial court treats them equally with the Han people, so that the problem of ethnicity can be solved fundamentally.

Prior to this, Liu Xie had also done a lot of preparatory work, over there was the canonization of the Huns.Generally speaking, the response to this matter made Liu Xie very upset.For ordinary people, they don't seem to take these things seriously at all, so why not do what they should do.

But for the ministers of the court, it caused a big disturbance. Fortunately, there was a major assassination case that closed the platform to sacrifice to heaven, and the court immediately entered the state of preparing for the Kansai war, which made the disturbance suppressed. .

But Liu Xie could still see that all the unrepentant courtiers in the court were still treacherous.If Liu Xie brings up the old story again, I am afraid they will have another set of arguments of "not my race, their hearts must be different", and then "Your Majesty, you have to listen to me, and if you don't listen to me, I will die for you." 'This routine.

Thinking about this, Liu Xie felt a headache.

However, unlike before, Liu Xie now has a family.Seeing Liu Xie frowning at this moment, he first sighed softly at a place Liu Xie couldn't see, and then walked to the back of Liu Xie gracefully, rubbing Liu Xie's temples gently with a pair of cold but caring jade fingers, So that Liu Xie can freely rub the welt mark on his neck that has long disappeared.

"Your Majesty, the affairs of the state are complicated, but they cannot be resolved overnight. There are priorities, so why not just choose the most important and most worrying thing to deal with?"

Hearing the soft and sweet voice behind him, Liu Xie couldn't help but let go of his hand rubbing the whip marks, and then lightly held Fushou's jade finger, wrapping it around in his hand.The two have actually only been married for more than two months, but their demeanor and speech are as calm and warm as a close couple.

"It is the most important and most worrying thing that makes me frown. The most worrying person in the Han Dynasty today is the ambitious Yuan Shao of Hebei. However, if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down. policy, but I am afraid that it will not be approved by the courtiers."

"Your Majesty has already told the courtiers, or do you just think that the courtiers will disagree?" Fu Shou also frowned slightly. Although she didn't care much about the government, she also found that those stubborn scholar-bureaucrats were getting more and more disliked.All of them are like stones in a latrine, smelly and hard, and they are not good for governing the world.

"Needless to say, I can guess what's going on. Now my team is evenly matched with those scholar-bureaucrats, but I really don't want to argue with them."

"If you want to let them fight on their own." Fu Shou suddenly felt happy, and there was a smile that was the same as when Liu Xie played bad things: "I remember that your majesty is now more and more powerful. Less centrists..."

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he heard the words, and when he looked back, he smiled all over his face: "Shou'er, you really are my good wife." After saying this, Liu Xie saw the touching smile on the corner of Fushou's mouth, and felt more and more that the two of them looked like a husband and wife. The corners of the mouth couldn't help but also turned up: "I have wine today and I'm drunk today, and I will worry about tomorrow. Empress, it's getting late, we should rest..."

"Ah..." Fu Shou let out a hasty cry, but soon, the sound turned into a rustling flow of joy.
