Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 178 A Loud Slap
Qunxian stood in front of a liquor store on the street of Chang'an, arrogantly looking at passers-by.

In Qin Dynasty, there were no liquor stores, and it was not allowed to be a liang. This was also the case during the Gao emperor's time. It was not until now that the emperor was in power, and it was abolished. When he was allowed to be a liu, Cao Can implemented a lot of loose policies.

For example, before Cao Can, Dahan's restaurants were government-run, and all the people who sold food were officials, who were paid, and did not rely on the restaurant to make money.Cao Can allowed private establishment of restaurants, opened wine shops, no longer restricted farmers from doing business, loosened restrictions on businessmen, promoted business development, and increased income, which made Dahan's economy develop rapidly.

Xiao Gui and Cao Sui were true, but Cao Can did a lot of things.

The most famous is the abolition of the "book-holding law" last year.

The law of holding books was a decree implemented during the violent Qin Dynasty when books were burned. In addition to allowing relevant government departments to collect books, private collection of books is strictly prohibited. Ahem, the big man was careless and forgot to abolish this decree. The times finally remembered this matter and hurriedly abolished it to show that I am a big man and a violent Qin.

This decree made the scholars all over the world very happy, the academic atmosphere was once again strong, and celebrities came out one after another, willing to assist this brand-new empire.

The relaxed social atmosphere has gradually changed the appearance of Chang'an. It is no longer the original deserted appearance. Standing on the side of the street, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and there are all kinds of people. I saw men and women come to the city to buy something together.

Liu Chang leaned his back against the wooden board of the wine shop, looked at the pedestrians passing by, and proudly took a sip of his drink.

Liu Chang didn't like to drink, he just drank it for the people who came and went to show him off.

The folk customs of the early Han Dynasty were very sturdy. Because there were no etiquette restrictions, women were also very bold. They even came to buy wine, drank a pot on the spot, and left with their heads raised, whether it was a young man approaching a woman or a woman going Picking up a conversation with a man is not a big deal in this day and age.

Even if you remarry, you will not be criticized. Even widows are still very popular. Many people like to marry widows who have given birth to children.

Among the folks, there are countless things about getting on the ship first and then refilling the ticket, and no one cares at all.

Uncle Suntong has played several times, requesting severe punishment for domestic rude behavior, but, right, Liu Bang, everyone knows his character, Liu Bang has no uncle Suntong at all.

Zhou Shengzhi poked Liu Chang's arm, Liu Chang raised his head sharply, just in time to see the three beautiful elder sisters walking towards here with a smile, Liu Chang was delighted, and hurriedly shouted, "The three elder sisters, why don't we drink together? ?!"

The women were about to scold, but when they turned their heads and saw they were half-sized dolls, they burst into laughter, ignoring them, and just buying wine for themselves.

Hearing their laughter, Zhou Shengzhi and the others were ashamed, and they all lowered their heads or turned their heads away, not daring to look at others.

Only Liu Chang grinned, walked up to them, and said, "Big sister, do you want to buy wine? You are so pretty, why don't you drink together?"

The one in the lead glanced at Liu Chang and said, "It's illegal to drink together!"

"Hey, I'm not drinking fine wine, but beautiful women. Is this also illegal?"

"Hahaha~~"

Several women laughed loudly. The one in the lead glanced at Liu Chang and asked, "Do you drink a lot of beauty at your age? I drink a lot."

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Shengzhi and the others could not wait to find a crack to hide in, blushing and restless.

However, Liu Chang laughed loudly and slapped his chest, "Eldest sister, don't look down on others, not to mention the eldest sister alone, even if the three of them are together, I will drink too!"

"Maybe tell me the name? Where is the home? Can we drink together in the future?"

While Liu Chang was still talking, Luan Bu drove here and was relieved when he saw Liu Chang. He reluctantly walked to Liu Chang's side and apologized to the three women: "My young master is young. , I'm not polite, if I offend the three, please forgive me."

The three of them also became serious, smiled and greeted Luan Bu, and said, "No offense, I just want to share a room with the three of us."

Luan Bu immediately blushed and didn't dare to say more. He got into the car and said, "Young Patriarch, let's go."

Liu Chang jumped into the car and said to the three: "Three eldest sisters, where is your home?"

"If you don't say it, then I will say that my home is in the north of the city...the north of the city is numbered from the left."

Before Liu Chang could finish speaking, Luan Bu drove away quickly.

"Hey! Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Sitting in the car, Liu Chang's expression was very unhappy.

"Luan Bu"

"Luan Bu?"

"Luanbu~~"

"Luan Bu, will you reply?"

"Ah."

"You ruined the widow's big thing!"

Luan Bu couldn't help it, and loudly reprimanded: "It's the act of a tyrant!"

"Good, you Luan Bu, how dare you say that my father is a tyrant!"

"I dare not my minister is not."

"Then you mean the present majesty? Isn't the present majesty also the harem's wife and concubine Ruyun, hugging from left to right?"

"Chenchen is talking about the king!"

"Your Majesty hasn't reached that age yet!"

"Is it enough when you are old?" Liu Chang's eyes lit up.

"When the time comes, the minister will also persuade the king! The wine hurts the body, how can the king be despised?!"

Liu Chang looked at the front helplessly, and suddenly asked, "Where are you taking me? Isn't it going back to the palace?"

Luan Bu said helplessly: "Jiangcheng Hou sent someone to invite the king to the mansion. I just went to greet the man. I turned around and saw that you ran away from the elders to invite the younger generation. As a younger generation, you are going to be late. The elders are waiting for you. How rude is this!"

"Your Majesty, if you want to go out, tell us why you always run away? Now Zhang Budo is looking for you all over Chang'an!"

"Did you say you let me go to the liquor store?"

"No."

"That's not the end."

Luan Bu let out a long sigh, then increased his speed, and said, "If Your Majesty is bored, you can go to a restaurant. There is a good restaurant in the south of the city."

"I've been there. A few days ago, I went to eat with Katsuyuki and the others, and I happened to see two beauties eating. I ran over to eat with them. Guess what? The two said they were going to buy something and kept standing there. I’m outside the door, don’t want to come in, and when we leave, I’ll take the opportunity to eat their meals with Shengzhi!”

"I know what I paid for the meal. Your Majesty."

Luan Bu took a deep breath, and for a while he really didn't know what to say. Is this what people do? ?Going to strike up a conversation, people are not happy, deliberately find fault to avoid, and eat other people's food is really not a person! !
The car stopped before Hou's house was built, Liu Chang jumped out of the car, and was about to climb over the wall when he was skilled. He suddenly remembered that he was invited by his uncle this time, so he brought Luan Bu through the front door.

Lu Shizhi was ready for the banquet, and when he saw Chang Liu coming, he was very kind. He smiled, pulled him over, pinched the flesh on his body, and scolded, "You Shuzi, in a few years, you will be better than you. I'm getting taller!"

Liu Chang smiled, and Lu Shizhi dragged him and let him sit beside him.

The brothers Lu Chan and the Lu family also stood up and saluted.

After Liu Chang sat down, Lu Shizhi had a serious face and asked with some displeasure, "If I don't invite you, you never come to visit me. Are you looking down on my uncle?"

"Actually. I often come here, but my uncle is busy and has no chance to see each other."

"Lord, we are close relatives. Even if we can't visit your grandmother as often, we have to come here often!"

"I know! Uncle, don't worry! I will come more in the future!"

Lu Shizhi smiled and didn't say anything. He ordered the sheep to be slaughtered and said, "My son loves sheep, so give him more meat!"

Liu Chang looked at Lu Chan, who was in front of him, and asked with a smile, "I haven't seen my brother for many days, what is my brother doing?"

Lu Chan shook his head and said sadly, "Don't talk about it. Sigh, recuperate in the manor."

"Ah? Brother is injured?"

Lu Chan secretly glanced at Lu Shizhi and said, "No problem."

But Lu Lu couldn't wait any longer. He hurriedly walked to Liu Chang's side and sat down next to him, with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, you have to decide for me!"

"Ah?? What happened??"

"Someone murdered me!"

Liu Chang was furious and asked, "Who murdered you?"

"I don't know that in these days, there are people who have been playing up and saying that I have done bad things in the local area and oppressed the officials. I didn't leave the government at all."

Liu Chang looked at Lu Shizhi who was on the side, "Is there such a thing?"

Lu Shizhi said with a stern face, "At first I thought it was Shuzi who did it. Later, he was injured by me and was recuperating in the mansion. Some people came to impeach him, and only then did we know that someone was slandering him."

"Don't worry, uncle, leave this matter to me! I will find the real murderer!"

Lu Shizhi shook his head, "You don't need to worry about small things."

Soon, the mutton was brought up, Liu Chang rolled up his sleeves and ate the meat in big mouthfuls, his face covered in oil.

Lu Shizhi was eating the meat, and suddenly asked, "Chang, I and Cao Can, who is closer to you?"

"Of course it's my uncle! Cao thief oppressed Zhongliang, and he stayed in the mansion all day these days. It's really hateful!"

Liu Chang yelled, Lu Shizhi laughed and said, "You can't be rude to Cao Xiang."

"I heard that Your Majesty wants Cao Can's son to serve as the commander-in-chief, is there any such thing?"

"Ah? Isn't Lang Zhongling Chen Ping?"

Liu Chang raised his head and asked in surprise.

Lu Shizhi said angrily: "Chen Hou is the commander in chief, and I am also convinced, but this Cao Can's son, what kind of thing is he, who conveyed the edict for the emperor before, but was beaten by his father cowardly and resigned, not daring to dare. To complete his mission, how can such a person shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting His Majesty?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yeah, Chang, Tang country is the emperor's wings, with a hundred thousand armors, and the country is strong."

"Oh, uncle, these are all rumors. My country of Tang is poor. The people don't have enough clothes and food to eat. There are three thousand old and weak people guarding the Great Wall. The people are only 30. The treasury has no savings. The poor people can only eat Bark, there isn’t a single decent general in the country.”

Lu Shizhi took a deep breath, but still didn't refute, he said: "Although Tang is poor, but you are closest to Chang'an, you are also a deterrent among the ministers. This Cao Can's son can never be the commander in chief."

"I understand what Uncle means!"

Liu Chang said, with a look of relief on Lu Shizhi's face, Liu Chang picked up the meat, bit it, and after a few bites, stood up, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, uncle! I'll kill Cao Can's son right now! "

Seeing Liu Chang turned around and was about to leave, Lu Shizhi was stunned and hurried forward to stop him.

"That was not what I meant!"

"What does your uncle mean?"

"You can play your majesty and let me be the commander-in-chief!"

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Liu Chang suddenly realized, sat down again, and said with a smile, "This is a trivial matter, so don't worry about it from my uncle!"

Lu Shizhi said solemnly: "Lord, I'm not doing this for myself, but I can't help the Cao family!"

"I see!"

Liu Chang grinned. Of course, Lu Shizhi also knew how unreliable this little bastard was. In order to support the poor Tang country, Lu Shizhi gritted his teeth and gave Tang country sixty calves.Liu Chang's eyes widened, so you still have cows?There are sixty calves in one delivery. Are there hundreds of big cows? ?
Liu Chang hurriedly stood up to thank him, and Lu Shizhi smiled and helped him up.

Looking at the scene of this uncle's filial piety, Luan Bu was also somewhat relieved: Putting aside the facts, King Tang was quite filial.

After walking out of Jiancheng Hou's mansion, Luan Bu reminded in a low voice, "In the dispute between foreign relatives, it's better for the king not to interfere."

"Hahaha, Luan Bu, do you think the widow looks like a fool?"

Luan Bu looked at him, hesitant for a while, this is not certain.

Seeing that Luan Bu was hesitant, Liu Chang was angry and scolded: "How can a widow not know? But if I didn't agree, what would my mother think?"

"But now that you agreed, what should the Cao family think?"

"What do they want to think, how can they beat me with a stick?"

Luan Bu's eyes widened, "Are you planning to take something and do nothing?"

"Of course not, just wait and see!"

Liu Chang said proudly, and he already had his own thoughts in his heart.

The two talked while walking, and suddenly met Zhang Budo who was out of breath. Zhang Budo glanced at King Tang, and then scolded Luan Bu, "Why didn't you say anything when you found the king?"

"It's too late."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang has sent an envoy and is in the mansion."

"Oh? What's the big deal?"

"I do not know either."

"Luan Bu, go home!"

When Liu Chang hurried back to the mansion, he finally saw the envoy from Tang.

Originally, Zhang Cang sent letters directly and never sent an envoy. When the envoy of Tang Kingdom saw Liu Chang, he immediately bowed and shouted, "Meet Your Majesty!!!"

Liu Chang smiled and helped him up, "No need to be polite, come, get up!"

The man got up and stood there respectfully.

"Zhang Xiang sent you here, but what's the big deal?"

The messenger smiled and said, "There are three things to report to the king." After speaking, he looked at a few people around him, and Liu Chang waved his hand and said, "These are all my confidants, if anything happens Speak!"

The messenger then said: "The first thing is the matter of Duke Gai. Duke Gai wants to re-establish the imperial school, teach the scholars, and replace the original school. idea."

"Well, okay, the widow has promised, what about the second thing?"

"This year's Tang Dynasty has a great harvest"

"Cough, be quiet!"

The messenger had to lower his voice and said: "Tang country has a bumper harvest, and the grain output has reached three times that of the previous year! Zhang Xiang intends to set up several granaries in Dai County to be used by the guards. A minister proposed to order the guards at the border. Soldiers cultivated in Yanmen and other places in the cloud, and they cultivated here in the days other than training.”

"Well, okay, maybe widowed, what about the third thing?"

The messenger was overjoyed, raised his head, and said, "Your Majesty! The captain predicted that the Huns would loot in the autumn, so he prepared in advance, and later commanded the Tang cavalry to fight the enemy in Shangjun, and captured more than a thousand horses!!! Beheaded one. Huns noble!!"

Liu Changchang was overjoyed, his eyes widened, "More than a thousand war horses? Hahaha, really??"

"I knew that Li Zuoche would not let me down!!"

"He deserves the title of Marquis for this credit! Marquis 1!"

Liu Chang said excitedly, and immediately understood why Zhang Cang sent messengers to convey the message this time. After all, these thousands of war horses are no trivial matter. If the traitors in the temple knew about it, they would definitely be jealous, and maybe they would have to donate them to Tang Guo. Half of the horses are called the Son of Heaven He.

But the horses that the princes dedicated to the emperor always appeared inexplicably in the homes of the ministers and drove for them.

Liu Chang can't do such a loss-making business!
He said in a low voice, "If this matter is to be kept secret, I will report it to the temple and truthfully report the number of enemies killed, as well as the situation of other materials, that is, don't mention the warhorse, if you ask, say it was taken by the Yuezhi people. !"

"only!!"

Liu Chang sat in the upper seat, and when he thought of more than a thousand war horses, he couldn't stop laughing. Since Yuezhi moved to Shangjun on a large scale, Tang's war horse problem has been solved very well. Zhang Cang will most of the Yuezhi. People organized households for the people, so that they all became the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and they did not need to pay grain, but only needed livestock to replace taxes.

Zhang Cang did not let them stay in Shangjun, but distributed them in various parts of the Tang country, letting them live together with the original Tang people, and tried his best to integrate them into the Tang country as soon as possible.

Such an approach naturally causes those Hu people to gradually change towards the Tang people, but the problem is that the Tang people were also influenced by them, and began to use Hu beds, Hu Fu, and many fruits that the Tang people had never seen before. It was brought in by the Yuezhi people, and the two sides blended together, forming a Tang culture that was not quite the same as the Central Plains.

Tang merchants brought these fresh things from outside the Great Wall to Qi State. No, it was Jibei County of Tang State, and then sold them to various princes, and made a fortune.

Tang has a war horse, more fruits, and a population capable of riding and shooting. The only disadvantage is that it has the title of a barbarian.

During the Warring States Period, this title belonged to Da Qin, and all the countries outside the customs regarded Qin as a country of barbarians, and felt that they were not worthy of being on an equal footing with the state of etiquette in the Central Plains. He said something like "I am a barbarian".

Liu Chang didn't care about this. It's tiring to be a gentleman, and it's good to be a barbarian.

After Liu Chang ordered everything, he went to the palace.

When Liu Chang returned to his Hall of Honor, Zhang Qing had already prepared meals and changed clothes.

Liu Chang ate a meal comfortably, and Liu Ying came here.

Liu Chang didn't salutation either, just asked his brother to sit down and eat a piece.

"Hey, eldest brother. I'm really tired. This time I took in six beauties. They entangled me all day long. I just feel tired of me and want to reprimand them, but they are beautiful and charming. I can't bear it anymore, why is this day so difficult?"

Liu Chang suddenly felt that the food in front of him was not tasty, he raised his head and looked at Liu Ying.

"Brother, let's talk about it, but it's a bit too much for you to keep laughing here!"

"I didn't laugh. Only with you can I get a moment of peace."

"That really hurt you!"

"Do you remember why I made you a concubine?"

"Of course I remember. But grandma hasn't made any movement."

"It's okay, just keep your present face, don't change it, let's go, let's go see Grandma, I'm sure Grandma will make a move!"

Liu Chang took Liu Ying to the Jiaofang Hall.

Empress Lv lowered her head and snorted coldly when she saw them coming. She continued to look at the bamboo slips in her hands. Liu Chang poked Liu Ying, and Liu Ying smiled and walked to Empress Lv's side, "Mother is okay? I'm really busy these days, and I don't have time to visit my mother. I'm really too tired. There are so many beauties. All of them are so beautiful."

"Crack~~~~"

At that moment, Empress Lu slapped Liu Ying in the face with a backhand.

Liu Chang was stunned.

Should the widow be evacuated?

One step ahead?
　Support a wave, I heard that the author is a beautiful girl.
