Putting down Liu Yan's recital, Liu Che stood up and commanded Wang Dao next to him: "I want to go to Shanglin Yuan to have a look, and prepare for ......"

"No!" Wang Dao nodded and led the order.

Half an hour later, Liu Che's Son of Heaven drove out of the east of Weiyang Palace, along the royal road, towards Shanglin Yuan.

It has to be mentioned that in the entire Western Han Dynasty, there was a special royal road for the emperor to travel in Chang'an City, and the emperor would often go out of the palace along this imperial road to Shanglin Yuan or his own mausoleum.

What's more interesting is that this royal road can also be walked by ordinary people in normal times.

In the historical records, it is recorded that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen went on a certain patrol, and a pedestrian walking on the royal road found the carriage of the Son of Heaven and hurriedly hid under the bridge, but the story of the royal car was still shocked.

Historically, after Jiang Chong, the famous fortunate minister of the Little Pig Dynasty, became the lieutenant of Shui Heng, he once relied on the special arrest of those passers-by and magnates who walked the royal road without authorization to act as a political achievement and collect fines.

These all show that in the early and middle Western Han Dynasty, the so-called imperial road, when the emperor did not travel, passers-by and powerful people could also walk as long as they were brave enough.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, he felt that for his own occasional travel, he specially opened up the so-called royal road in Chang'an and even Guanzhong.

It's a bit of a pain.

So after thinking about it again and again, he issued an edict stipulating that except when the Son of Heaven travels, the royal road is also open to the public at ordinary times.

And the basis of this edict is that the royal road is this thing, it was repaired by Emperor Hui, Emperor Hui can't go up to the temple, and he can't do it under the shrine, the key is that he built this royal road, and it also passed through the high temple, not filial piety! How can I be wrong again and again because of Emperor Hui's mistakes?

That's a good argument, and no one can criticize it.

After all, this royal road is Emperor Hui, who built it, was also once uneasy and accused Gao Miao many times.

Later, it was Shusun Tong who thought of a compromise and gave Liu Bang two more original temples in Changling and Peidi, so that Emperor Hui reluctantly accepted.

Therefore, now that Liu Che is traveling, there is one more procedure: clearing the road.

Before each trip, there will be a team of knights all the way to the destination, telling the people along the way, the Son of Heaven has traveled, get out of the way.

As for whether there will be a conspirator secretly ambushing and assassinating or something?

This is not Bolangsa!

In the base camp of Guanzhong, Liu Che was not afraid of any assassination at all.

In Guanzhong, there will be no soil for the survival of the anti-Liu political forces.

Anyway, in the decades and even more than 100 years after that, there has never been any assassination of the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven drove out on patrol, and the safety itself was guaranteed, and there were hundreds of accompanying guards and troops alone, and the royal chariot had done enough security work, except for the bed crossbow and the rhubarb crossbow that could penetrate the defense of the royal chariot, other weapons could not damage it in the slightest.

If someone really takes a bed crossbow or a rhubarb crossbow to stab, it can only mean one thing: Chang'an has fallen into the hands of the enemy!

Then it's not an assassination, it's a change of dynasty!

Therefore, Liu Che is not worried about these aspects.

The only problem is that after the edict was issued, the imperial road was no longer exclusive to the emperor, and many people loved to go to the imperial road when they had nothing to do, so that the royal road became the same as other roads, and it was inevitable that it would be a little muddy when it rained.

However, this also allowed Liu Che to seize the opportunity to set up a new urban management department under the Yamen of the Inner History, which was responsible for cleaning up the garbage on the roads and Luli in Chang'an and cleaning the city.

As early as when he was the crown prince, Liu Che was already planning to do this.

It's really that Chang'an's commerce is too developed.

And the developed commerce also led to the polarization of Chang'an city.

Shangguanli and its surrounding Luli and other Luli close to Qili and Weiyang, Changle two palaces, belong to Chang'an's Manhattan, Wangfujing, residents are either rich or noble, the courtyard is deep, the attic pavilion pavilion, beautiful, and live in Chang'an cities and the edge of the city, it is a typical slum, the residence is dilapidated, all kinds of domestic garbage is piled up, it will be cleaned up once for a long time.

These slums are undoubtedly breeding grounds for all kinds of bacteria and germs.

If he doesn't clean up, Liu Che will have nightmares when he sleeps.

And the establishment of the Urban Management Division can be regarded as Liu Che's concern.

Moreover, the Urban Management Department can also solve the employment problem of a large number of low-level people in Chang'an.

Cleaning up garbage, cleaning streets, and sweeping up the silt of the Weihe River will not be done by anyone except the people at the bottom.

However, these tasks require a lot of manpower.

As for all kinds of domestic garbage cleaned up, especially the silt of the Weihe River and all kinds of human and animal manure, they were all sent to Shanglinyuan to be used as raw materials for soil fertilizer or simply used as fertilizer.

What's more, after the establishment of the Urban Management Division, the health and rational environment of Chang'an have been completely renewed, which has been praised by the government and the opposition, and even Liu Che secretly levied commercial taxes in the nine cities of Chang'an and Huajie Liuxiang in the name of the Urban Management Division, and no one cares.

"It's a pity ......" Thinking of this, Liu Che also sighed: "Today's commercial tax has not yet reached half of the standard of Lu Houshi......"

Speaking of which, what the little pig did later did was actually picked up by Lv Hou's tooth wisdom.

The laws and decrees promulgated in the later period of Lü, especially the city law and the commercial law, were almost all-encompassing, and merchants had to pay taxes to the court no matter what they sold. For example, when opening a mine, it is necessary to pay taxes on stones according to the output volume, and to sell things, taxes are paid according to the final transaction price of the goods sold.

What a pity!

The princes and ministers jointly destroyed the queen of Zhulu, and the laws formulated by these queens were all abolished except for the household law and a few laws.

To this day, even if Liu Che wants to recover, he must be cautious.

This is also the tradition of human political struggle.

The loser of the political struggle, regardless of whether the policies he has pursued before are good or bad, will be poured with dirty water and defiled with all his might.

It seems that the loser was born a big devil with pus on the soles of his feet, sores on the corners of his mouth, and filthy even the road he walked.

Qin and Empress Lu are such proofs.

And the later heads of state of Europa also received such treatment.

The Celestial Empire, Midi and Maozi, similar examples are also countless.

This is probably the common nature of human beings, and once their enemies, especially internal enemies, are defeated, they must be strictly guarded to prevent one day, they will be settled by the queen of autumn.

Therefore, Liu Che knew very well that even if he really restored the commercial tax law of Empress Lu in the future, he would probably have to change his vest and change his name.

Thinking so, the royal driver had already arrived at Shanglin Garden. R1152
