After returning home, Yuan An's mind was still full of what he had seen and heard in the shipyard.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Ang finally wrote a letter, handed it to his cronies and retainers, and instructed: "Go, send this letter to Chang'an Wu'er in person......"

Yuan An's idea was very simple: since Long was waiting for Chen Huan to go into the water.

That means that the matter, at least not to pay.

Moreover, today, I have been using practical actions to tell the ministers: Follow me, there is meat to eat!

Last year, the school district house in Maolingyi was speculated at a sky-high price?

A house of only five acres can be sold for a high price of 3,000 gold?!!!

Those who started earlier made a lot of money.

It is said that Yong Shichen made a net profit of 5,000 gold at one time!

Such a result made countless people beat their chests.

It's almost picking up money!

A long time ago, the Son of Heaven 'punished' the great merchant Jia Shi of Luoyang and ordered the Shi family to pay 30 million yuan to repair the track from Chang'an to Hangu Pass.

Almost squeezed all the wealth of the Shi family cleanly!

Even the head of the Shi family can only eat green vegetables and radishes every day.

The result?

Now, the Shi's family is leaning on that track, and they can count money while lying down.

He almost monopolized the logistics of commodity trade between Kanchu and Kanto.

With its convenient, cheap and fast advantages, the rail-drawn carriage crushed all competitors.

Now, the Tian clan and the Yang clan in Guanzhong have united and begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother everywhere, hoping that the Son of Heaven will allow them to 'serve the country' and build a track from Luoyang to Hangu Pass.

As a result, there has been no follow-up to the matter.

Therefore, after Yuan Ang returned home, he immediately wrote a letter to let his son sell the land and all real estate in Li.

Desperately trying to raise 5,000 gold to rent a 'whaling ship'.

Because Yuan Ang knows.

The further back this so-called whaling ship goes, the more difficult it may be to rent.

In particular, the giant ships seen today may be regarded as treasures by the building ships in the future, and they will not be rented out, and others who want to rent them can probably only rent some whaling ships converted from old ships.

But the price, I'm afraid it won't change!

You don't rent, some people cry and shout for rent!

What's more......

"This is an admission ticket...... Yuan Ang sighed in his heart.

It's already predictable!

It is highly likely that there will be a limit on the number of people or families who can qualify for 'rental' or 'fake' whaling vessels for at least the next 10 years.

The further back on, the stricter the restrictions and requirements.

With Yuan's foundation and heritage, it is very likely that he will not be able to wait for the whaling business to cause a sensation before he can still be qualified to enter.

And losing this qualification, Yuan will say goodbye to the 'promising' marine career in the future.

I can't even participate in the game, how can I bet?

Since you can't bet, of course it will be insignificant.

What's even more terrifying is that the Yuan clan will also lose the right to speak in the future to the 'distant country of Yidi'.

Well......

Although Yuan Ang does not like unjust wars.

But if everyone around you is fighting an unrighteous war.

Hold on to the old antiques and don't give up, what's the difference between that and Megumi Yanashita?

"Heaven is constant, not for Yaocun, not for the ...... of ruin" Yuan Ang read Xunzi's famous sentence: "If it should be governed, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be fierce!" ”

This is Yuan An's favorite philosophical quote, and it is also the most familiar words for most scholars and officials at present.

Even, it is no exaggeration to say that people who can't even understand this sentence thoroughly are not qualified to ****** at all.

There will be no slag left to eat!

And the second half of this sentence crossed Yuan An's heart: strong capital and economical use, the sky cannot be poor; When you are ready to move, you can't get sick; If you follow the road and do not follow the path, then the sky cannot be a disaster!

This is out of the category of the so-called Mandate of Heaven and Providence that everyone verbally says, and it is almost not directly said: The Mandate of Heaven is a p, and those who are strong and strong have the Mandate of Heaven!

Any person of insight, a conscious bureaucrat, understands and is clear.

The mandate of heaven, the will of heaven, benevolence, righteousness and morality, etc., are said to the common people and the people below.

If you believe it, that's really stupid!

For the majority of bureaucrats who have gone through the bloody storm and are accustomed to seeing the rise and fall of the tumble.

They believe in what Wu Zixu said: people will be able to defeat the sky, and the sky will be able to defeat people!

This is also a famous saying that has always been implemented in the Chinese dynasties, the game of monarchy and vassal.

The courtiers are powerful, and they set the emperor in the air and shape him into a puppet, and he also has a beautiful name: hanging the arch and ruling the holy son of heaven.

On the contrary, the imperial power is strong, and the ministers can only be a sound worm waving the flag and shouting, and a good baby who obediently obeys orders and follows the saddle before and after the horse.

This is called the Son of Heaven with the constitution of heaven in his mouth, and he is the law of the world in one word.

And specifically for the officials and doctors.

The elite among them is very clear about individuals, families, ideals, and ambitions.

You are yourself, your family is your family, and your ideal is your ideal.

When it comes to mouth cannons, everyone is high-sounding.

But action is ......

Just like now, Yuan Ang sighed: I am afraid that the unjust war will flourish in the future...... On the one hand, he quietly pushed his heirs to the front line of the 'unjust war'.

It seems to be a contradiction, but it is not a contradiction at all.

Putting this matter down, Yuan Ang took out a letter from his arms, held it in his hand, and looked through it carefully.

This letter has obviously been read by him countless times.

Even the letter paper is already dark, and even the color is already slightly yellowed.

Reading the letter in his hand repeatedly, Yuan Ang seemed to remember something, and finally made up his mind, let people take the pen and ink, and then picked up the pen and wrote on the letter: Jiangdu Taifu Niu Ma walked Yuan Si, and then bowed to him: Brother Wu Chu's merit, with Li as the phase, was ordered by the first emperor to support His Majesty......

There is no doubt that this is a personal letter addressed to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu.

Yuan Ang writes very slowly and with great difficulty.

It took two hours and was revised several times before it was finalized.

Yuan Ang transcribed the letter, then sealed it with a bamboo tube, and then handed it to his housekeeper, saying: "Send Chang'an immediately, pay homage to the Changping Marquis Mansion, get the prime minister to reply to the letter, and return to Jiangdu immediately!" ”

"No!" Yuan An's butler, an old man who had followed him for thirty years, was an absolutely reliable and trustworthy servant, and when he heard this, he immediately took the bamboo tube into his arms and disappeared into the night.

"I don't know, if the prime minister can understand it......" Yuan Ang rubbed his temples: "But in any case, I have already told him what I mean......"

Then, he picked up the letter again, read it again, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Lile is broken!" Lile is broken! ”

Between the flickering candlelight, the head of the letter, and the vertical row of words, are impressive: worship the king, cow and horse, go to Kong Zhong, and worship the prince of Jiangdu State, Fu Sigong......

"Even Confucius's descendants will be slapped...... Yuan Ang took the letter: "And it's still so flattering!" ”

It's just that......

In Yuan An's opinion, this sycophant is well filmed and filmed wonderfully!

Whether you eat it today or not, it is good for yourself and other old bureaucrats and aristocrats.

Yuan Ang grabbed the letter, threw it into the fire, and watched it burn out.

In the raging flames, the letter paper gradually turned black, and in a trance, two words loomed in the flames: Feng Zen!

………………………………………………

Liu Che sat on one of his favorite swings with his eyes half-closed, and his slightly open eyes were a little murderous.

"Who do these guys think I am?" Liu Che took a secret piece of embroidered clothes in his hand and played with it: "Qin Shi Huang?" ”

In that year, Qin Shi Huang annexed the Six Kingdoms and established an immortal cause.

Naturally, it swelled up.

So, under the flickering of the Confucian scholars, in the third year after becoming the emperor, he toured the counties in the east and sealed Mount Tai.

And this kind of thing, like some games, is toxic and addictive.

After tasting the majesty of inspecting the world and the submission of all the people, Qin Shi Huang indulged in it from then on, and then continued to tour the east, and even died on the road to the east.

When he arrived at Qin II, the second was also fooled by the Confucian scholars and enshrined in Mount Tai.

And then what?

Wait for the fall of the Qin State, guess what, what do the Confucian scholars say about Qin Shi Huang who was fooled by them to seal Zen?

said that he went to Fengzen Mount Tai, the front foot was still a sunny day, and it was a storm just up the mountain.

Pointing at his nose and scolding people for not having the mandate of heaven, God will punish him for this!

According to historical records: The first emperor went to Mount Tai and was hit by a storm, so he was not allowed to seal Zen!

But the question is, since it is not allowed to seal Zen, then who gave Qin Shi Huang the original Zhou Dynasty Zen sealing ceremony and sacrificial ceremony for the whole day?

It can't be said that Qin Shi Huang was born to know, right?

And apart from Confucianism, who can know these complex Zhou rites?

And the facts in the history books also prove that it is indeed Confucianism who is helping to do it.

For example, in the first year of the Second Emperor, the last time the Qin State was enshrined in Zen, it was done with the help of Confucian scholars.

When Qin died, these guys turned their faces and denied people, scolded Qin Shi Huang for 'burning books and pit Confucianism', and used all available words to describe Qin as a tyrannical regime with no good at all on his body, bad pus on the soles of his feet, and sores on his tongue.

But here's the problem......

"Who instigated Qin Shi Huang to tour the east to seal Zen, and who instigated the second to seal Zen?" Liu Che sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Now, of course, the Qin Dynasty has fallen.

Anyone can curse at its corpse for 10,000 years, and push all the problems of the present, past, and future onto the Qin State.

With this lesson from the past, of course Liu Che will not be fooled.

Touring the world? Feng Chan Taishan?

When I worked so hard to save these wives, it was easy, right?

The cost of an eastern tour and Feng Chan can fight at least a war in which 50,000 cavalry go out of the fortress to expedition 5,000 miles!

Even, the Eastern Tour itself was a large-scale war mobilization.

The emperor's own guards and the entourage of ministers alone are tens of thousands of people.

This is not counting the loss of disturbing places all the way and delaying people's production and life.

Kang Mazi went to the south of the Yangtze River six times and almost collapsed the Manchu Dynasty.

If he hadn't had a good son, Manchu would have died early!

Now, if Liu Che were to tour the world in the east, the cost of one time would be conservatively estimated to cost the Han family's one-year-old financial income.

Who pays for this money?

It's not the common people yet!

Liu Che doesn't want to be poor to collect taxes, and four-year-old children have to be taxed!

He raised his eyes slightly, looking at the eagles and dogs in front of him.

"Check it out for me, and see who is jumping ......up and down in it," Liu Che ordered lightly: "Who is fishing in troubled waters?" ”

"Activate the secret room, I want to know that all the ministers of Jiuqing are discussing the content of this matter in private!"

"No!" The eagle dogs of the embroidered guards bowed one after another.

In recent years, the embroidered clothes guard has gradually been institutionalized, and the surveillance of courtiers has also been strengthened a lot.

Now, although Liu Che didn't dare to say it, he could know what every dynasty was doing in private.

However, as long as he wants, he can still find out who this person has been in close contact with recently.

And this time in Chang'an and other places, such as Luoyang and other places, there are many inexplicable voices that say, "Since ancient times, the emperor has been ordained, and he has not tried not to seal Zen", "If you don't give a ceremony for three years, the ceremony will be abolished, if you don't have fun for three years, the music will be bad" and so on.

Even the students of Taixue and Wuyuan were talking about it.

Such uniformity and great momentum make people believe that it is impossible without the main messenger behind.

And Feng Zen has a complete industrial chain, and it is the favorite extravagant thing of the bureaucracy and aristocracy.

Not to mention, the first to benefit from Confucianism is Confucianism.

If the emperor wants to enshrine Zen, this etiquette method system must be consulted by Confucian scholars.

Even how to go up and down the mountain has to be taught by the old Confucian students.

And then there are the bureaucrats.

Who doesn't love a business trip at public expense?

What's more, along the way, the emperor was busy meeting local celebrities, appeasing the people, and making a gesture of pro-people, and the officials must have their hands on it.

As long as one percent of the cost of the entire sealing Zen is floated, it is enough to make the mouth full of oil from top to bottom.

Not to mention, historically, if you don't have a three-percent of the Zen seal, the bureaucrats feel sorry for themselves.

And the most suspicious ......

It's the kings of Qilu!

The Son of Heaven sealed Mount Tai and gave amnesty to the world since ancient times.

Forgive all the sins of his courtiers.

To put it simply, it's a page turn.

Without investigating, Liu Che knew that behind this, Jiaoxi, Zichuan and Jibei must have used their strength.

If there is a different emperor, it is estimated that he will jump into it knowing that it is a pit.

Seal Zen!

Who can resist the temptation to seal Zen?

This is a grand party to borrow power from heaven and show your destiny, and you can also go out to relax and see the world of flowers.

But these guys miscalculated.

"I have proved that I am the Son of Heaven who was ordained by Heaven!"

"Feng Zen? Do you need it? No, you don't! ”

With so much leisure time and elegance, Liu Che was able to arm 10,000 cuirassiers and then sweep across the grassland.

Or build another 100 steel-making furnaces in Nanyang County, double the pig iron output of the Han Dynasty, and use Tiehai to teach Siyi to be a man.

Even, you can learn from Emperor Taizong and issue an edict to exempt the field tax for three years.

No matter what you do, it's better than being fooled into running to Mount Tai to climb the mountain.

Besides, now sealing Zen is doing Liu Che more harm than good.

"It cannot be ruled out that someone is secretly trying to engage in a conspiracy......" This is the biggest intuition in Liu Che's heart now.

How did the Qin Empire fall?

Qin Shi Huang died violently in the sand dunes, and in just one year, the vast empire fell apart.

It cannot be ruled out that someone wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then come to a trick to occupy the magpie's nest.

For the emperor, it is inevitable to be suspicious or always feel that 'there are always thieves who want to harm me'. (To be continued.) )
