"Okay......" Liu De waved his hand to interrupt the fleshy praise of the two.

"Ago, I ordered Qing and others to investigate the Ziqian merchants in Chang'an City, and now there are results?" Liu De asked.

"Back to Your Highness, the ministers have all investigated and made a list, please take a look!" Zhang Tang presented a silk book and said: "This generation of businessmen all have illegal things, and the bold ones have even committed murder, and there are several on the list of Tingwei Mansion!" ”

Liu De took the silk book and glanced at the hundreds of names densely packed on the silk book.

Nine out of nine of these people will become the victims of Liu De's knife this time.

Who called these fellows too rich, and one more to death than the other?

Liu De picked up the pen and crossed out the Wuyan clan, which Zhang Tang listed first among these loan sharks, and then threw the silk book back to Zhang Tang, and instructed: "Give it to Ju Meng, let him find out the crimes and violations of the law of the rest of the people except the family I crossed out, and collect the evidence!" ”

Why was Wuyan spared?

Without it!

Although this family is also engaged in all kinds of illegal and undisciplined things, and has a lot of lives in their hands, at least this family is knowledgeable, has some sense of right and wrong, and knows how to behave.

Liu De remembered that after the outbreak of the Wuchu Rebellion in his previous life, because of the locust plague and various natural changes, the merchants in Chang'an, especially the usury merchants, were not optimistic that the Han court could win.

When the Marquis of Chang'an set out on the expedition, because the military budget was insufficient, he borrowed money from these usury merchants.

However, the merchants pursued profit. Since you think Chang'an will lose, how can you do this kind of transaction that costs most of the money?

Not a single one is willing to borrow!

Only this Wuyan clan, willing to lend loans.

That's it. It is enough for Liu De to raise his noble hand and let their family go.

"No!" Zhang Tang nodded and said. Then he asked again, "I wonder when His Highness will ask for it?" ”

"Before the first month of next year!" Liu De thought for a while and replied.

Now there is still half a year before the New Year, and half a year is enough for Drama Meng to get a closer look at the bottom of these guys.

When the time comes, as soon as the Wuchu Rebellion breaks out, the Che Marquis of Chang'an will definitely start borrowing. As long as these guys refuse to borrow it, then the butcher's knife can be raised. You don't even need to find a reason!

Coupled with conclusive incriminating evidence, these guys can be uprooted!

Taking the Wuyan clan as an example, in the previous life, the Wuyan clan lent more than 3,000 gold to the Chehous......

This more than 100 families. Even if ten is worth one salt-free clan. That's also a huge amount of money that can be copied tens of thousands of gold.

With this money, the problem of military spending will be solved immediately!

Not only that, but the land and farmhouses that these guys have occupied by various means in the past few decades can also be re-mastered by the imperial court, and it is even entirely possible to organize another grant of land in Guanzhong!

With the big killer of granting land, the basic plate of Guanzhong must be as stable as Mount Tai.

Thinking like this, Liu De felt refreshed.

"How's the locust plague in Hedong County?" Liu De asked again.

"Back to Your Highness, yesterday Hedong County guarded Zhou Yang from the imperial court. It is said that it has been basically controlled, but it is only the two counties that have been affected. This year's autumn harvest is estimated to be hopeless, and it is necessary to transfer grain from Aocang to help the victims, and His Majesty has issued an edict to exempt Hedong from this year's field tax! Ji Di replied.

Liu De thought for a while, and said to Ji Di: "Qing sent someone to Hedong County to check for me, what is the situation in Hedong now!" ”

For Zhou Yangyou, the cheap dad may trust him very much.

But Liu De can't believe it at all.

Liu De remembers very well that the father of this goods is Zhao Jian, the uncle of Liu An, the king of Huainan, because he was named Zhou Yanghou, so he also took Zhou Yang as his surname.

This person is completely different from the famous Legalists of the world, such as Zhidu and Chao Cuo.

Greedy, brutal, overjoyed, and excessively killed, it can almost be compared with the cruelty of Wen Shubi, the cool official of the Liu Che Dynasty.

But Wang Wenshu is at least a loyal minister, and his loyalty to Liu Che is impeccable.

Zhou Yangyou is a good guy who even dares to bully the king in order to get a little cheap.

In the end, he also died of bullying and was beheaded and abandoned to the city.

After Zhou Yangyou's death, thousands of gold of property were confiscated from his home......

The locust plague in Hedong, in the previous life, was affected by the disaster in two counties, and there was no harvest, so the direct guide zhì Guanzhong could only transfer grain from Ao Cang for relief and transport grain, because Ao Cang's grain was transferred, and when Zhou Yafu's army went south, he had to eat some of the counties along the way, so Wu Chu was almost prepared.

No matter how Liu De thinks about it, it is unlikely that the two counties were affected by the disaster in the previous life, but after the measures to exterminate the locusts in this life, it is still the same!

Liu De has always been afraid to guess others with the greatest malice.

Hedong County has always been the base camp of grain merchants in Guanzhong, these people have deep roots in Hedong, but anyone who is a little smarter will be able to immediately connect with the price of grain in Guanzhong from the locust plague.

Since Lü Buwei, the merchants of the world have learned how to hoard Juqi.

"Your Highness, isn't it a little inappropriate to privately inspect the county guard?" Ji Di asked.

At this time, the county guard was still high, and the feudal officials who led the military and political power of a county were basically the masters in the county.

Absolute power will certainly lead to absolute corruption.

Later, Liu Che also discovered this, so he set up the assassin history and the embroidered messenger, the former supervised the county guard on the surface, and the latter did the matter of the brocade guard in secret, specifically collecting the illegal things of the local county guard, and sent it back to Chang'an in the form of a secret play, and in the later stage, the embroidered messenger could even hold the Son of Heaven Festival, supervise the county soldiers, encircle and suppress bandits, and conquer the rebels.

But now, the status of the county guard is still only under Jiuqing, and once he is recalled to Chang'an, he can immediately worship as an important minister of Jiuqing and even the prime minister.

Privately inspecting important ministers, for Liu De, it is indeed a bit taboo.

Liu De thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll go to Hedong in person!" ”

"Your Highness......" Ji Di heard this, and hurriedly said: "No! There is no Son of Heaven who will send a letter to the valley privately, this is not the work of the Son of Man! ”

"Who said I'm going to get out of the country without permission?" Liu De laughed and said: "Tang Ji's daughter Yang Yi Weng Lord, she is seven years old this year, according to the system, you can choose a husband for her, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou, thirteen this year, the same age, you can Shang Yang Yi, I want to go to Hedong to investigate its virtues, and my father will allow it!" ”

As an elder brother, choosing a husband for his sister will definitely be fine.

What's more, if the prince of the old Liu family doesn't do two things out of the ordinary, is he still called the prince of the old Liu family?

Back then, Emperor Hui once sneaked out of the Great Dispersion Pass and went to Zhao State to see Zhao Ruyi.

When Liu De's cheap father was the prince, his footprints were all over Sanfu, and he even ran to Hexi when he was the farthest.

As for Liu Che later, he called himself the Marquis of Pingyang and visited most of the areas north of the big river.

In fact, the emperor of the Han family used a tacit and even conniving attitude towards his prince sneaking out to see the outside world.

Don't take a good look at the people, don't take a careful look at the world, become an emperor, don't know the affairs of the people, take everything for granted as soon as you pat your head, such an emperor is not played by the courtiers on applause?

Since Emperor Liu Bang of the Han family, the emperor of the Han family has carved a sentence on the main hall of the prince and the palace where the prince lives: The widow was born in the deep palace, and he grew up in the hands of a woman.

This is the words of Lu Aigong, obviously, the Son of Heaven has used this sentence to remind his successors that otaku can't do it, so let's go out for a walk! (To be continued......)

PS: I slept until 11 o'clock today, and after I got up, I went to play two dota quilts with nothing to do......

Ahem, but the update remains the same~ Well, at least 3 more today~
