After eating, Liu Qi pulled Diao Chan into his hut, to be precise, to look at the unopened box. However, Liu Xie seems to be a little ungenerous, and the things he sent are inexplicable! If it is said that sending a mirror is "a woman who pleases herself", then what is this box about?

Several ancient coins are of different sizes, and even the shape is not the same, some of them look like five-baht coins, but this one is too strange! In addition to round money, there are also "knife coin" shapes, and even key-shaped, which is really strange, as for the half-faced tiger charm next to it, it was gorgeously ignored by Liu Qi!

Diao Chan picked up the half-faced tiger talisman and said, "Kai? Does Your Majesty want you to go to war? Liu Qi said angrily: "What kind of battle?" Diao Chan blinked and said, "Isn't this a tiger talisman?" I have seen it once......" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then stared at this wrong silver and bronze tiger talisman, but he felt that it seemed to be a little different from the tiger talisman in his hand when he came to Chang'an before...... There is no way to compare, after all, that piece has been returned, but there is an encyclopedia at home, and if you don't pull it over to popularize science, I'm sorry for myself......

Jia Xu was dragged away impatiently, after all, he was too lazy to pay attention to the gadgets given by His Majesty, the most important thing is that Jia Xu had a trace of annoyance in his heart, not at Liu Qi and Diao Chan, but at the gadgets rewarded by His Majesty, because he was not good at it, if he lost his eyes, he would make jokes and hurt his father's "authority"......

Sure enough, when he entered Liu Qi's hut, the bronze mirror couldn't tell clearly, he was not his daughter's house after all, but the coins could be recognized, it was "counterfeit money"! Jia Xu sighed and said, "These money are all counterfeit money!" Look at it, the word "goods" is exactly the product of Wang Mangshi! Liu Qi blinked, okay, Wang Mang is left again, but what does this have to do with him, could it be that the East Window incident happened, and Liu Qi's heart suddenly surged......

Since having a child, Jia Xu, who has been very vigilant, has not noticed the change in Liu Qi, and said: "I don't know what Your Majesty is doing when he gives you these things!" But these six coins are the 'six products of goods'! Diao Chan blinked his big eyes and asked, "Liupin?" Jia Xu nodded and said, "Fifty big springs, forty strong springs, thirty middle springs, twenty young springs, ten thousand springs, and one small spring Naoyi, from big to small, these six kinds!" But in fact, it's twenty-eight grades! ”

Liu Qi, who came back to his senses, said in surprise: "So much? Jia Xu nodded and said: "Go back and flip through the Han book, the food and goods chronicle says, five things, six names, twenty-eight products, things and names all refer to the names of materials and coins, which are different from the six products of goods and springs I said, check it yourself!" ”

Jia Xu then picked up the tiger talisman, looked at it for a long time, put it down again, and said, "I can't tell this tiger talisman!" Liu Qiqi said: "What's so unclear about this? Jia Xu said: "First, I don't know much about this aspect, and second, this tiger talisman doesn't seem to be all the ...... of this dynasty" Liu Qi blinked his eyes and said, "No! I look very similar to the one I brought to Chang'an! ”

Jia Xu seemed to be defeated, and said, "Stupid! It's not this dynasty, but it's close to this dynasty, naturally it's Wang Mang's ...... at that time" Diao Chan's face turned white, and said: "What does Your Majesty mean, is it an allusion to the ...... of rebellion" Not only did Liu Qi panic and put his hand to block Diao Chan's mouth, even Jia Xu was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "I really don't know what you have in your head!" Rebellion? You can figure it out! He has no soldiers and no power in his hands, if this talisman is given to Xiangguo, it can't make people suspicious, what is it to give it! ”

Diao Chan thought and thought, his head kept connecting the dots like a chicken pecking rice, and Jia Xu said: "Disaster comes from the mouth!" Hum! Diao Chan was a little aggrieved and said, "I'm just worried about ......" Jia Xu waved his hand and said: "Although it is okay for my family, there are outsiders who have to pay attention......"

Liu Qi and Diao Chan both nodded, and then Jia Xu said, "You go tomorrow...... Next door...... Ask, I can't say, he knows something......" Jia Xu coughed twice, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that his face seemed to be a little dark, as if he had lost a lot of face. Liu Qi smiled, it seems that no matter how deep Jia Xu usually is, there are times when he can't let go of his children, but then again, if that child is born, Jia Xu doesn't know what it will become......

As soon as the day dawned, Liu Qi went to the backyard with a small box, although he wanted to invite a stove today, but it was expected that Li Ru would wake up very early, and there were no holidays for high-ranking officials like these...... The door in the backyard was more of a decoration, not locked, Liu Qi pushed it gently, and then entered the Li Mansion in a grand manner. Although the servant was a little sluggish, someone still led Liu Qi, and someone else ran to the study......

It was not the same as the New Year, at least when he came in the spring, it was the same morning, but it was very quiet...... He didn't know that it was precisely because of the "inaction" of some servants in the spring that Li Dong's family carried out a "whole family storm" well, not that he was worried about Liu Qi, but that these people in the courtyard were too lazy and did not have the bearing of a big family at all......

Li Ru really started the day's work, to be precise, the documents that were not processed last night. If it is said that in this somewhat dimly lit room, it would be even more touching if a certain big man was wearing a pair of reading glasses, but unfortunately, Li Ru's eyesight is normal, and even glass is a luxury in this era, not to mention that convex lenses do not exist in Dahan......

Li Ru naturally didn't know what Liu Xie gave Liu Qi, Dong Zhuo knew a thing or two, but he didn't bother to worry about it, anyway, this was a matter between their masters and apprentices, and there were too many things for the big people to worry about...... But as soon as the box was opened, Li Ru smiled silently. Liu Qi blinked, compared to the deep man last night, this is a professional!

Liu Qi said: "Uncle? Enlighten and seek advice! Li Ru said: "What about Wenhe? Liu Qi blinked his eyes and said, "My father-in-law also has some doubts about this tiger talisman?" Li Ru nodded, picked up the tiger talisman and touched it, looked at the wrong silver characters, and touched his beard. Liu Qi said: "My father-in-law said that this is the tiger talisman when Wang Mang rebelled, but I can't get it for sure!" ”

Li Ru coughed twice, and said a little angrily: "Now that you know, why do you come to ask!" Liu Qi said with some grievances: "Isn't it right for my father-in-law!" Li Ru sighed and said, "Look at it, this tiger talisman is not the same as the system of this dynasty, it is a few inches bigger, and even the bottom is gold!" This is Wang Mang's unscrupulous business, a bit retro! A mess of patchwork! ”

Liu Qi said suspiciously: "Retro? Li Ru nodded and said: "Tiger talisman, you have seen it in this dynasty, the tiger talisman in the Qin Dynasty is similar to that of this dynasty, but look at this side!" Liu Qi turned his head to take a look, Li Ru pointed to the wrong part of the silver, and said: "The characters of this dynasty are silver characters, and the Qin Dynasty is gold characters!" This is not the case with the Tiger Talisman further along! There is jade and so on! However, Wang Mang imitated a bronze gilt tiger talisman! ”

Li Ru looked at Liu Qi's somewhat chaotic appearance and sighed: "Forget it, I'll just say it simply!" Wang Mang, this person, everything has to be according to the ancients! But it's ridiculous, it's nondescript, what is this, it combines all the characteristics of this dynasty and ancient times......"

Liu Qi's face was a little strange, but thinking about that Wang Mang in history, it seemed that a madman was unreasonable...... However, Liu Qi still asked Li Ru to ask His Majesty today why he gave him so many Wang Mang's "antiquities......

Although it was a cold winter, Liu Xie, who had just finished practicing ape opera, was still sweating, and now that he was approaching the end of his year, he couldn't be so casual as in the days when Liu Qi learned boxing, found a wooden barrel to bathe and change clothes, and sprinkled some spices all over his body, so that he became a little incense person. Liu Xie sighed, in the final analysis, it was because of His Majesty's dignity, thinking of some of the words that Liu Qi said to him yesterday, he felt that the crown on his head seemed to be heavier......

As the emperor, it seems that he is the most powerful person in this country, but unfortunately, with rights, there are naturally obligations, and now it is a New Year's holiday, but poor Liu Xie has to wear a somewhat heavy copper crown, because of etiquette......

Liu Xie thought of the upcoming sacrificial stove, and felt that his head sank a lot, although intelligence is one thing, but that cumbersome etiquette is another. The etiquette of the royal family is naturally similar to the etiquette of the people, the same is the time, it is all at dusk, but since it is the royal family, it is natural to have "low-key luxury", the yellow door outside the room flies like headless flies, mixed with some people's scolding. No wonder those chiefs are irritable, they want to end their affairs in the palace as soon as possible, but the old and young in the family are waiting for them......

Liu Xie was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Ru to come so early today, if it was usual, it would have been half an hour late. Li Ru's face did not change, he bowed, and said, "See Your Majesty!" Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Okay!" You're early today! A palace guard placed the box on the table, knelt down again, and then retired.

Liu Xie frowned, opened the box, and sure enough, pieces of paper and two small books stayed inside. Now there is no "big event", and if it is approaching the Chinese New Year and there is not a big battle in the country, naturally there will be no big war held by the unsightly princes. Liu Xie groped in his chest for a while and took out the six-sided seal. Although the jade seal and the clan bi are gone, this is at most only a "hindrance" when passing on the throne to the next emperor.

Liu Xie didn't look at it much, dipped in the ink, and pressed wildly, if those anti-Dong people were called at this moment, they would definitely have nothing to say, because the six seals were still in the hands of the emperor, you must know that even when the first emperor was in power, the six seals were in the hands of the queen......

Li Ru said: "Your Majesty, don't you take a closer look! Liu Xie shook his head and said, "If there is something urgent, you can say it!" Li Ru frowned and said, "The major affairs of the country should not be reckless!" If a courtier takes advantage of His Majesty's contempt and puts the proclamation of his own interests on the fifth or sixth part......"

Although he didn't finish speaking, Liu Xie's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Xie has been taught!" Li Ru nodded with satisfaction, then picked up two small books and said, "Your Majesty, take a closer look at this!" Liu Xie cheered up, called a yellow door, and said, "Tea!" , what do you want to add to Langzhong? Li Ru said: "Jiang! Liu Xie said: "Two bowls of ginger tea!" Drinking ginger tea in winter warms up your body the most! Li Ru nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Liu Xie flipped through two books, one is a rough introduction to this year's income and expenditure, and the other is a little confused, what is the "expenditure budget for the coming year"? Although Liu Xie was smart, he was not as evil as this, and asked, "What is this?" Li Ru smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that Qi'er mentioned a few words, Confucianism feels a little interesting, it took nearly a month to be regarded as the first result!" This book is about the account book of our imperial court spending money in the coming year! ”

Liu Xie became a little interested and said, "Master got it?" Liu Xie flipped a few pages, saw the expenses of the New Year, etc., and suddenly understood, and said: "Budget, plan in advance!" But does it really work? Li Ru smiled bitterly and said: "Qi'er said, at least when something happens, there is a spectrum in his heart, not to mention that the finances are difficult now, and the so-called budget is more important to prevent rats and some unnecessary expenditures......"

Liu Xie nodded, the so-called Shuo Rat is naturally from the "Book of Songs", but Liu Xie believes that the current Han Dynasty will definitely not be as dirty as the Wei State (from the "Book of Songs?"). National style? Wei Feng"), but Liu Qi can also be regarded as to the root. Liu Xie's inheritance is less than half, and Dong Xiangguo also told Liu Xie privately that although a certain fat man also has the possibility of corruption, Liu Xie thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, after all, Dong Zhuo was in charge of the treasury, and if he really wanted to take it, he Liu Xie's small arms and legs couldn't stop it......

Li Ru said: "The military expenses are not included, but the daily expenses are like a mountain pressing on my heart!" Liu Xie nodded and said, "I also have to set an example, and the expenses in the palace should also be reduced!" Li Ru smiled bitterly and said, "This is enough less!" Cut again, let's how to face the first emperor! Liu Xie was stunned and said, "Less? ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "Your Majesty, do you know, where is this so-called palace expenditure spent?" Liu Xie shook his head, and Li Ru said: "First, procurement, that is, the utensils and food used in the palace on weekdays, but now it is handled by our caravan, and the price can be lower......

Liu Xie blinked, he really didn't expect that he would also have a caravan, and then he heard Li Ru say: "Second, it is the concubine in the palace and the palace maid Huangmen." This is also a big expense, and it is quite small, and what I am afraid of is building a palace for the concubine and so on...... Third, His Majesty spent the money himself......" Liu Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Me? ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "For example, reward a certain fortunate minister, but Shang Shutai disagreed and rejected His Majesty's will, and His Majesty can only reward from the Inner Treasury...... Liu Xie nodded and said, "Oh! Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are naturally young now, naturally there are no concubines, those women of the first emperor are now a minority who have status, and they naturally can't spend much if they are not favored, as for the palace maids and the Yellow Gate, they are naturally even less, seriously, you have saved enough......"

Liu Xie blinked, and then heard Li Ru say: "Your Majesty, before the etiquette tonight, if you have time, read this book, at least the money spent on the project is something that needs to be dealt with in a year!" Your Majesty will contact in advance, so that you will not be in a hurry and know nothing when the time comes to perform the crown salute......"

Liu Xie blinked his eyes and said, "Lang Zhongling, you mean ......" Li Ru sighed and said: "Xiangguo has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, can he do it for a few more years?" What's more, our background ......" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this is a good son of a good family, and if you count it carefully, the head of the ministers of the non-general and non-scholar clan in the Han Dynasty can almost be counted with a slap...... (To be continued.) )
