When the banquet ended, Liu Che watched with a smile as Han Wang Zhun and the other vassal kings left the venue.

"Three thousand ...... a year" Liu Che smashed his mouth: "It's better to talk than nothing......

In the past few years, Liu Che has spent more money on Eucommia gum than this.

However, it was a turning point.

With this annual regular income.

The Andong Prefecture is basically self-sufficient.

The power of a frontier administrative region that guarantees self-sufficiency and does not yet require central government funding is endless.

Because it means that from now on, the Anton Protectorate can do more of what it wants, and there is no need to report to Chang'an because of money.

Just like the Western Regions Protectorate in history.

Because he was self-sufficient and guaranteed the source of funds, Ban Dingyuan relied solely on the strength of the Western Regions Protectorate itself, did not ask for a copper or a soldier from Luoyang, and relied solely on the strength of the Western Regions Protectorate itself to beat the Northern Xiongnu, help the Eastern Han Dynasty, and stabilize and control the entire Western Regions.

But......

It's time for the governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate to find a successor......

Bo Shi can still do it for another four years.

However, the successor must be groomed now.

There can be no more tragedies like Ban Dingyuan's Western Regions Protectorate.

Liu Che stood up and instructed Wang Dao next to him: "Go and invite Bo Shi, the governor of the Protectorate of Anton, to enter the palace......"

"No!" Wang Daogong stepped back.

…………………………………

When Bo Shi entered the palace and saw Liu Che, he was shocked.

The Son of Heaven unexpectedly changed into a regular suit, standing in the corridor of the Imperial Garden like an ordinary noble child of Guanzhong.

Fengche Duwei Meng, who has always been inseparable from the Son of Heaven, took a dozen capable attendants, and also changed into civilian clothes, just like servants in the families of nobles and big merchants, standing behind the Son of Heaven.

"The governor is here......" Liu Che saw Bo Shi and beckoned with a smile: "Come on, come on, change into civilian clothes, and go out of the palace with me......"

Bo Shi was stunned when he heard this.

He scratched his head, a little unsure of what to say.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, I don't know whether it is the folk customs or feng shui problems in Guanzhong.

In short, it is not uncommon for rulers to like micro-services.

The prince, the prince and even the son of heaven, fish and dragons in white clothes, see the endless stories in Youlu.

Before today's son ascended the throne, he often took small clothes, going in and out of Luli and village pavilions.

even visited Hedong in civilian clothes, so much so that he dug up the Hedong nest case, which made the entire officialdom of Hedong County empty.

To this day, the Hedong bureaucracy is still terrified.

However, after ascending the throne, it is rare to hear that this person has been slightly served.

What's going on today?

However, as a minister, especially a sensitive relative, Bo Shi knew that he had to try to dissuade him no matter what.

Otherwise, if this matter spreads, his, who is still quite a virtuous relative, will immediately become infamous on the street.

Reduced to the ranks of fortunate ministers and traitors, he will never be able to turn over.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go slightly, you can't do it!" Bo Shidun bowed his head and said: "Don't you hear about the change of Emperor Qin Jiaping?" ”

Liu Che listened and smiled slightly.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, kings and princes loved to wander around, leaving behind countless legends and stories.

But......

As the saying goes, if you walk a lot at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts.

In the thirty-first year of Qin Shi Huang, in the winter of December, Qin Shi Huang changed the month of Layue to Jiaping and officially embarked on the road of seeking immortals.

In the same year, Qin Shi Huang traveled in micro-service, playing folk games, and as a result, he traveled to Lanchi and encountered a group of bandits in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, Qin Shi Huang himself is strong in martial arts, and the attendants accompanying him are also powerful.

Otherwise, a generation of male lords is estimated to die at the hands of bandits.

Afterwards, Qin Shi Huang was furious, mobilized troops, blocked roads, blocked traffic, and Dasuo Guanzhong for 20 days.

The lockdown has even reached unprecedented levels of severity.

In history, at that time, Xianyang corn cost 1,600 yuan per stone, which rose hundreds of times!

This incident is known as the Jiaping Change.

After Liu's establishment, he also liked fish and dragon white clothes.

Especially since Taizong, the emperor, the crown prince, and the prince have secretly served the folk stories, and there are countless victories.

And the accidents and baskets that happened were no less than those of the Qin Dynasty.

Didn't the first emperor smash the crown prince of Wu to death with a chessboard, and as a result, he buried the fuse of the Wu Chu Rebellion?

Liu Che waved his hand and said, "I know, don't say anything more!" ”

Of course, there are risks.

Therefore, after taking the throne, Liu Che no longer travels in micro-services.

He was always in a tight net of protection organized by the Yu Lin Wei and the Hu Ben Wei and the northern and southern armies.

Within the court, within two steps, thousands of miles away, no one could hurt him.

And if you leave the palace, it may not be guaranteed.

Over the years, he has offended many people.

What's more, Liu Che has always been uneasy about the East Palace.

Therefore, at that time, if he left Weiyang Palace, there was a certain possibility that he would be suddenly attacked by the East Palace.

But now......

All the military and bureaucratic organizations in the entire Chang'an have been mastered by him.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace also announced her retreat.

In such a situation, Liu Che already has the conditions for micro-service travel.

"I am the Son of Heaven......" Liu Che looked at Bo Shi: "If you can't know the situation of the market, the people's livelihood is suffering, and there is no difference between the blind, the deaf and the foolish!" ”

Although, Liu Che now has an embroidered guard to monitor people's livelihood and people's sentiment for him.

However, the things reported by the embroidered clothes guard are actually selective.

Even, it is good news but not bad news.

This is the essence of bureaucracy, and it is also the inevitable choice of those who want to be promoted.

It has been more than four years since he ascended the throne.

Liu Che has not seen Guanzhong, or even the most basic and lowest-level market life in Chang'an for more than four years.

This is a fatal mistake for an emperor!

Any policy and any system, once divorced from reality, is tantamount to being built behind closed doors.

As soon as you pat your ass, what good fruit can you have when the policy comes out?

You don't need to look at others, just look at Wang Mang.

Staying away from the people, away from life, is the beginning of all emperors to bring about their own destruction.

And being close to the people and close to the people is the starting point of the prosperity of a dynasty.

Why can the Han family have such a situation today?

It doesn't depend on the emperors' efforts, but on the ministers' intentions.

It was the emperor and the ruling class, who were always aware of the situation at the grassroots level.

Seeing the Son of Heaven say this, Bo Shi also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Please allow Your Majesty to allow your ministers to be personal guards!" ”

In case of an accident, block the gun for the emperor.

So, the matter was decided.

…………………………

Because of the character of the son of heaven of the Liu family, the bus office downstairs in Beique City has actually become a necessary place for the Liu royal family to disguise before leaving the palace all these years.

Because, the bus office is a place that is open to the outside world, but it is strict to enter and exit, and out of the gate of the bus office, you can turn to the royal road, and through the royal road, you can go to any place in the entire Chang'an City.

Liu Che was naturally no exception, he took Bo Shi and Ju Meng and about seven or eight retinue guards, rode in three carriages, exited the north gate of the bus office, drove out of the palace wall of Weiyang Palace, and entered the imperial road.

The remaining thirty or forty guards and attendants, disguised as merchants, civilians, and officials, wandered behind and in front of Liu Che.

This is also a measure that the old Liu family learned from the lessons of Qin Shi Huang's encounter with bandits.

In addition, an army of two hundred people, a quarter of an hour after Liu Che left the palace, set out from Beique, under the banner of patrolling, was actually a protective man.

Ever since the carriage got on the royal road, Liu Che felt a little excited and a little nervous.

This is normal.

If you change to anyone, for four whole years, you will spend most of your time in one place, even if this place is big enough, in fact, your psychology will be affected.

Not to mention the emperor.

Say the same thing in the same tone every day.

Everyone is singing praises.

The ministers always look up with an upward gaze, and the concubines always look pityful.

In such an environment, in fact, the emperor is prone to mental illness.

To some extent, the emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties loved micro-clothing in order to soothe their own psychology and release their inner depression.

"Your Majesty, where to go first?" Ji Meng, who was in charge of driving, asked outside the car.

"Let's go to Naoshi!" Liu Che said, "I haven't seen the straight city for several years......

Straight market is the root of his beginning, and to put it mildly, it is the land of dragons.

All emperors and kings have unique feelings for their original bases.

Liu Bang took special care of Fengpei, especially the parents of Pei County.

Emperor Taizong has cared for and cherished the mountains and rivers and people of Jinyang all his life, and when he was in power, he once went back to Jinyang twice to drink with his father.

When it comes to Liu Che, it is no exception.

Sixian Garden and the nine cities of Chang'an will always be a place similar to his hometown in his heart.

It is a spiritual sustenance.

Moreover, these two places are also specimens observed by two Liu Che.

By observing the livelihood of Sixian Yuan and the daily life of the people, Liu Che can know how far the Han family's highest level of agricultural technology has developed.

Through the observation of the nine cities of Chang'an, Liu Che can know the development trend of industry and commerce in the world, especially the handicraft industry.

Si Xian Yuan, over the years, Liu Che has often gotten there, and even goes when he has time.

Although it is just a superficial situation, it can make up for it somewhat.

And this nine cities of Chang'an, since he ascended the throne, has been observed through embroidered clothes.

"I hope these guys aren't too cheating ......," Liu Che thought to himself.

Liu Che knew very well that the people below would never report the whole truth.

This is something that no one, not even an immortal, can control.

Especially in the nine cities of Chang'an, the big interests are scared to death.

The daily transaction volume and cash flow can feed the entire Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong rangers.

The interests are moving, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will play tricks.

……………………

When Liu Che's carriage drove into the city, what caught his eye was a bustling market.

This place, compared to four years ago, has changed dramatically.

Four years ago, it was only the weaving place of Chang'an City, ranking last among the nine cities, but today, it has become one of the most prosperous places in Chang'an City.

Because, it has changed from a humble processing center for wicker products and other woven utensils to the largest private paper and printing base in Chang'an.

The former wicker weavers and craftsmen were even pushed into a corner of the market by the new printing and paper merchants.

Paper and printing, two new industries, are thriving here.

Therefore, in the mouth of Chang'an people, the straight market has changed from the 'willow market' in the past to today's paper market.

"Your Majesty, now, there are more than 400 large and small paper workshops in Zhishi, more than 100 printing shops, and most of the books and papers in Chang'an and even Guanzhong are ......supplied from this," Wang Dao whispered beside Liu Che and reported: "The examination room of Shaofu has wanted to close this place several times, but it has been rejected by the prime minister......"

Liu Che nodded when he heard this, it is understandable that the examination room wants to close here.

Because, three years ago, the examination office relied on selling paper and earned tens of millions of dollars a year.

However, the merchants of the straight city rose and took the place of state-run paper.

The merchants of the straight market, with their cheaper and more convenient advantages, defeated the paper trade in the examination room.

And because Shaofu itself was too busy with the publishing tasks stipulated by the printing state, all the private printing business was robbed by businessmen.

These, embroidered clothes and guards have been reported.

However, Liu Che had never seen this private paper and printing production with his own eyes, nor had he ever heard a report from the embroidered guards.

So, he was curious. (To be continued.) )
