In late May, the weather in Chang'an is getting hotter and hotter, and during the day, people who are exposed to the sun dare not go out, and only at night are it slightly better.

In view of the fact that the weather was too hot, the leaders of the Jiuqing Yamen all found an excuse to run to Ganquan Palace, saying that it was to ask the Son of Heaven for peace, but in fact, it was to escape the heat.

But Liu De couldn't go to Ganquan to escape the heat and enjoy the moisture of the hot springs.

The weather was so hot, he had to stay in Chang'an.

"How many mung beans have you bought?" Liu De asked Wang Dao.

The weather is so hot, the scholars who stay in Chang'an, if the family is good, naturally there is a place to cool off, like the Chehou family, there are generally manors outside Chang'an City, and there are mountains and forests and pools in the manor.

Wealthy families can also spend a lot of money on it, and they can naturally find a good place to cool off.

But those scholars whose families are average and can only live in some houses or even slums in Chang'an are not treated so well.

In such a hot weather, it would not be good to hang up two in case of heat stroke.

In this day and age, there are not many things that can cool off!

The only good news is that mung beans have taken root and sprouted in the land of China, and they are also planted in Guanzhong, so Liu De asked Wang Dao to go to the market to buy as many mung beans as possible and come back, ready to distribute them to the scholars who are living in difficulty in Chang'an and are inconvenient to cool off.

Wang Dao said with a bitter face: "There are very few mung beans on the market, and the slave maid has done everything he can, but he still only bought a few hundred catties of ......" As he said that, he knelt down and said: "The slave and maid are not doing well, please punish Your Highness......"

"Get up...... Liu De said lightly: "It's no wonder you ...... about this"

Although mung beans have been introduced to China during the Warring States period, there are records of cultivation in Guanzhong. The cultivation technique of mung beans is also recorded in the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period".

However, at this time, even wheat is heresy, not accepted by the people of Guanzhong, mung bean this foreign thing, is a heresy in the heresy, and compared with soybeans, mung beans also have disadvantages in terms of yield, wrong, after mung beans were introduced into China, they were discovered, it has the effect of cooling off, it is estimated that it has been eliminated by the people of Guanzhong.

Even so, its planting area is not very large, and generally only small landlords or wealthy families will plant some small areas of mung beans as a summer soup, so it is rare to see mung beans for sale on the market.

"You take my order and go to Shaofu to get three thousand catties of mung beans and come back," Liu De said helplessly......

Now, if it weren't for the last resort, Liu De would no longer be willing to dig the foot of the Shaofu.

As the saying goes, the ass decides the head.

Now, his status is completely different from the beginning, Shaofu is equivalent to his future money bag, and he still wants to carry out a certain amount of reform of Shaofu after ascending the throne in the future, so that it is as little as easy to be poached as possible.

The so-called, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, if he himself keeps digging the foot of the wall of Shaofu, how can he ask others not to dig?

Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, Liu De would not be willing to go to Shaofu to fight the autumn breeze.

"No!" When Wang Dao heard this, he immediately became happy, go to Shaofu? Isn't this just a chance for him to be with his brother? Immediately, he happily took Liu De's order and went to Shaofu.

As for Shaofu, will there not be so many mung beans either?

Liu De never worried about this problem.

Because Shaofu and private businessmen and farmers are two different concepts.

Shaofu is equivalent to the Han family's own super-large-scale state-owned enterprises, and its goal is never to consider profits, let alone whether it is useful.

This organization has only one purpose: to serve the emperor of the Han family.

Therefore, the materials stored by Shaofu are as many as cattle hairs, basically, only what is available on the land of China, and it must have a certain amount of reserves in case the Son of Heaven needs it from time to time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Shaofu of the Han Dynasty, in a certain way, assumed some of the responsibilities of the state-owned enterprises of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations.

For example, the weapons of the Han army were all made by Shaofu.

The maintenance and repair of the straight road and the Great Wall in the Qin Dynasty were also the responsibility of the Shaofu.

The rivers and channels in Guanzhong are also maintained and excavated by the Shaofu.

The palace of the Han family and the mausoleum of the Son of Heaven were also built and maintained by the Shaofu.

And these things, each and every one of them, are undoubtedly loss-making transactions, and the bulk of the annual Shaofu expenses are on these.

Because of this, although Shaofu has become a regulatory black hole, and the emperor's relatives are constantly beating the autumn wind and digging the foot of the wall, the emperor's sons of heaven can tolerate it.

However, Liu De felt that the reform of Shaofu was imperative!

Although at present, the contribution of the Shaofu to the country's social affairs still outweighs the disadvantages, but such a huge institution, the connivance and acquiescence of the past few decades have greatly affected the functions of the Shaofu, and all kinds of hollowing out the country's walls, corruption and malpractice are almost becoming a common practice.

Just as the later Celestial Empire reformed the Ministry of Railways.

There must be merit and contribution, but merit is merit, and if there is no reform, there will be big problems.

"When I become the Son of Heaven, I will divide the Shaofu into three ......" Liu De thought: "Ordnance manufacturing and weapons research and development are separated into one department, engineering construction and royal affairs are separated into one department, and taxes and official land income are separated into one department......

The advantage of this is, of course, that it improves efficiency, reduces waste, and can also give a large number of officials a knight, so that many officials who have been eight hundred stones all their lives will suddenly become a thousand stone level.

But the downside......

Naturally, there are also some of them.

The most direct impact is to cut off the wealth of many nobles and relatives, and it is inevitable that some people will jump their feet.

And the Shaofu itself will resist reform.

Therefore, even if Liu De becomes the Son of Heaven and wants to reform Shaofu, he needs courage and courage, as well as wisdom and strategy.

Come up like a fool and say you want to split it?

How can the relatives give up?

Even Guan Tao is estimated to go to the Empress Dowager Dou to cry.

Thinking of these things, Liu De said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, remember, remember!" ”

His ambitions are great, and so are his ambitions.

But he will never forget the bloody examples he saw in later generations.

For example, Yang Guang......

………………………………………………

In the afternoon, Wang Dao led dozens of people to drive more than a dozen carriages and came back with mung beans.

When Liu De saw this, he immediately ordered Wang Dao to call Ju Meng and ask Ju Meng to take his men to distribute all the mung beans evenly to the scholars who were in difficulty in Chang'an according to the number of heads.

This kind of thing, it is most appropriate for the drama Meng to do.

He has been the head of the rangers in Luoyang for so long, and he is the best at infecting people's hearts.

Watching the drama, Meng led his subordinates to be busy.

Liu De laughed: "It's a pity, I can't go door-to-door to condolence in person......"

In later generations, every time he watched the news broadcast, Liu De would be very envious of the objects of condolences to those bigwigs who were condoled at the grassroots level, of course, he later learned that all the objects of condolences were selected......

But it didn't stop at all, and after watching the news, the fart people were stunned by the emotion......
