December of Ding Hai passed very fast for Liu Che.

In the blink of an eye, it's the last few days.

The whole palace began to be busy preparing for the 'expulsion' ceremony.

Some strange people began to haunt the palace, and large drums and wooden statues of evil spirits were transported into the palace.

The so-called 'expulsion' is probably the prototype of the Chinese New Year's Eve in later generations.

It is a festival that is widely recognized in Guanzhong.

Most nobles will choose to invite wizards to come to their homes on the last day of December, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve.

But like most Chinese festivals, it will eventually become a collective celebration and celebration.

This expulsion ritual has developed to this day, and religious significance has taken a back seat, and the focus has been on entertainment.

For example, on the day of the expulsion ceremony, the eunuchs and low-ranking maids who have been tired for a year can relax a little and watch the sorcerers dance the gods, burn the statues of evil spirits, and expel the plague.

Specific to the top, of course.

For example, Liu Che, Liu Che's father.

It's not that easy.

Especially Liu Che, according to tradition, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire imperial palace from the minister, down to the slaves, eunuchs, maids, and even the tenant farmers in Sixian Yuan, can take a big red envelope from him.

In addition, on this day, Liu Che also had to issue three sets of new clothes to the people in the palace.

One set of casual clothes, one set of regular clothes, and one set of official clothes.

The money flowed out like running water.

Of course. There is an out, there is an in.

On the emperor's father, Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Bo, Liu Che can get a large reward.

It can probably make up for Liu Che's expenses.

Only, the only problem is. Liu Che took matters into his own initiative, waved his hand, and announced that this year's reward had fluctuated by 30 to 50 percent on the basis of the past, and each person was given a silk cloth that was different according to the rank and rank of the official.

It seems that the increase is not large, but the entire Taigong and Sixian Yuan, up and down, are thousands of people. That's an extra million dollars at once.

"If it was in my previous life, I would have spent so much money, I guess I would have been distressed for a long time......" Thinking about this. Liu Che couldn't help but sigh.

In his previous life, he was a king of the river, and he worked hard all year round. It's just tens of millions of dollars. It seemed like a lot of money, but the point was that he had to support himself with the army, the guards, the servants of the palace, a bunch of women and children, and ministers.

In this life, the taxes and land rents he can contribute to the ten Shiyi counties directly under the prince are almost equal to the financial income of a year in his previous life.

His ten Shiyi counties are all in Guanzhong, and each of them is a large county with more than 10,000 households!

"At home. What are you thinking? There was a coquettish voice of a woman in my ears.

Liu Che came back to his senses and reached out to gently pinch the other party's towering tenderness. smiled: "I'm thinking about it, how to clean you up later...... Hey hey ......"

When the other party heard this, he leaned on his body with disgust, and pressed his body to Liu Che's chest, and his pretty face showed a slightly shy look, but there was a look of anticipation between his eyebrows, and he said in a low voice: "Please have mercy on ......."

Liu Che laughed, let go of the other party, and said, "Lone go do something first, you wash up and wait for Lone to come back!" ”

The woman immediately stood up obediently, ignoring her somewhat messy clothes, and hurriedly helped Liu Che put on her clothes.

This woman's surname is Zhang, it is said that she is a show girl selected from Daidi, eighteen or nineteen years old, full of amorous styles, and she also knows how to serve people, and she knows how to please men.

Liu Che walked out of the temple gate and glanced back at the woman who had bid him farewell.

"Israel entertains people, but the morning dew and white frost ......" Liu Che shook his head slightly, this woman has no freshness for him.

As a human being in two lives, the traces of the Liu family on Liu Che's body have become heavier and heavier.

I still remember that when I first crossed, every woman who had slept with Liu Che was eager to hold it in the palm of my hand and hold it on the tip of my tongue.

However, at this time, Liu Che didn't even ask about the woman's past and family......

In terms of coldness and lack of kindness, the Liu family can be described as the most in all Chinese dynasties!

Stepping out of the temple gate, it was snowing outside the temple.

Several palace maids and eunuchs braved the snow to clean the grounds in the courtyard of the front hall in preparation for the upcoming expulsion ceremony.

Seeing Liu Che come out, Wang Dao hurriedly greeted him, knelt down and reported: "At home, the time ago, the Taiwei good news came, Wu Wei has been awarded the head, and the head is being sent to Chang'an urgently, and after I want to come to Chang'an, I want to come to Chang'an!" ”

After Wang Dao finished speaking, he kowtowed and said: "Wu is the head of the rebellion, the world is peaceful, and the slave and maid congratulate the family!" ”

Liu Che listened to it and was not surprised at all.

Ten days ago, after the great victory in Xiayi, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Zhou Yafu, the chief lieutenant, looked for Liu Wei everywhere, but they couldn't find it.

Then, I heard that Liu Bi had fled to Dongyue, that is, the territory of the Dongou people, and planned to recruit the Sanyue army, call on the people of Wu Guo, and fight to the death with the Han family.

After Liu Che heard the news, he had already sentenced Liu Bi to death.

Liu Bi ran to Dongyue, which can be said to be self-defeating!

Because of this Dongyue, he is the hardcore little brother of Chang'an!

If Liu Bi gains power, the small country and widows of Dongyue will naturally not dare to offend, but since he has been defeated, he has been defeated so badly, and the people of Dongyue don't know what to do, they are idiots!

What's more, the Dongyue people have long had a tradition of killing Han traitors to receive rewards from Chang'an.

At that time, the hero of Yingbu died at the hands of the Dongyue people.

Of course, the superficial effort still needs to be done.

Liu Che clapped his palms and said happily: "Good, pass the order, and reward each person in the palace with one pound of flesh and one hundred dollars!" ”

"No!" The king bowed down to answer the order.

Then, he went on to report: "At home, the drama captain has returned from Wu State, this is the drama captain's handwritten report!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Dao took out a bamboo tube sealed with beeswax from his arms and presented it to Liu Che.

Liu Che took it, uncovered the beeswax, poured out a silk book contained inside, and spread it out to see.

While watching, Liu Che nodded happily.

Ju Meng only said one thing in the report, that is, what Liu Che once ordered him to do has basically been completed.

Wu King Liu Bi has worked hard for forty years of savings and hard work, and now, he has made a wedding dress for Liu Che!

A total of dozens of workshops, eight large shipyards, more than a dozen mines, tens of thousands of craftsmen, all safe and sound!

Liu Che knows that this is an immeasurable fortune!

Far better than billions of dollars!

"Go and tell Sù Jidian to write to the king of Hejian immediately in the name of Lone, ask the king of Hejian to get ready, and after receiving the edict, come to Chang'an immediately, without delay!" Liu Che commanded.

Mines and craftsmen or something, for a while, Liu Che can only be greedy.

But the eight large shipyards near Guangling and their affiliated workshops and craftsmen, Liu Che must take them in his own hands.

This is related to whether it can light up the Great Navigation Technology Tree!

Therefore, in the past ten days, Liu Che has been actively asking his courtiers to create public opinion, and he has said a lot of good things about Liu Yan in front of Empress Dowager Dou and the emperor's father.

It can be said that the emperor's father was moved and gave Liu Yan a chance to fight for Wu Land.

And whether you can grasp this opportunity depends on Liu Yan's appearance.

Because, Wu State is frequently in Sanyue, which is the bridgehead of the Han family to Sanyue and even further south, and if he wants to be the king here, he not only needs the approval of Emperor Laozi, but Liu Yan himself has to prove that he can control the three feudatories of Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongyue.
