Han Shizu

Chapter 1295 The Little Book of Emperor Liu

Relying on Nanle Wharf, with the approval of Hebei Road and the imperial court, a town was set up. This is a typical commercial town, which prospers with convenient transportation and increasingly prosperous water transportation.

Up to now, the registered population of Nanle Town is close to 7000 people. This number is not weaker than some counties, and far exceeds those remote counties. In Daming Prefecture, it is also the number one town in the prefecture.

Due to the fact that it is in the middle of a war and it is also a transshipment hub, it has attracted a large number of business travelers and people, which has given birth to a new round of commercial prosperity. The inns, hotels, teahouses, and restaurants in the town are almost full every day.

In such an atmosphere, everyone is full of enthusiasm and is in a busy atmosphere. The busiest people are the officials who maintain order and the tax collectors who collect taxes. Ships and goods stationed in Hong Kong and entering towns will bring a lot of money and taxes to the government.

If you only look at the scene and style of this small town, you will definitely have an illusion that the big man is so prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, otherwise there would be such a scene of converging and gathering wealth.

However, Emperor Liu knew in his heart that the prosperity catalyzed by the war had bubbles and was not abnormal. Squeezing out the water was the most real thing.Moreover, the Han Dynasty is still an agricultural empire, and the living conditions of the lowest-level farmers can reflect the truest state of the country today.

After inspecting the pier and learning about the transfer of military supplies, Emperor Liu ate another meal in the town, tasted the famous local sesame biscuits and roast chicken, and then left to return to Fucheng.

From Nanle Town to Fucheng, an official road was built directly. It belongs to the third-level "provincial road" in Dahan. It is not as fine as the straight road built by the Ministry of Industry, but it is also flat and open, mainly composed of sand, gravel and loess. And extensive use of mortar technology.

Luanjia didn't feel much bumps when driving on this official road. There were many vehicles, horses and pedestrians on the road, but when they saw this large and gorgeous carriage guarded by a large number of black armored knights, they all avoided it far away.There are well-informed people who know the flying dragon flag, but they can't help but sigh with emotion, not knowing which nobleman is traveling.

Inside Luanjia, Emperor Liu sat with his back to the side of the carriage, holding a memorial in his hand, and the pleasant light of autumn reflected on his bored face through the shaking curtain from time to time.

Qin Guogong Liu Xu sat respectfully, Emperor Liu glanced at him from the corner of his eye, put down the memorial, and said, "Do you think that I am a little unfair to Tao Yan?"

Hearing these words suddenly, Liu Xu tensed his body, and quickly replied: "I dare not! This person is so face-to-face, his performance is too unbearable, he is at a loss!"

Emperor Liu smiled and said, "Do you know how many Dingkou people are under the control of the Daming Mansion?"

Liu Xu cupped his hands: "I don't know the exact number, but I vaguely remember that there are more than 46 people!"

"However, a magistrate who has been in office for almost three years can't even report the approximate amount!" Emperor Liu said lightly.

Liu Xu said: "Father, my son thinks that Tao Yu has been in charge of his family for three years. There have been no major incidents or faults, and the people's livelihood has been considered stable. Although he has not made outstanding achievements, he is still more than successful. Perhaps you have been intimidated by your heavenly power to accompany you this time. Behaving in a panic! Directly taking his official position, isn't the punishment a bit harsh?"

Glancing at Liu Xu, Emperor Liu said, "Do you think that I took his official position only because of his performance today?"

"Could it be that there is something else hidden?" Liu Xu was taken aback.

Emperor Liu sat up, flipped through the piles of memorials on the side, took out one, and threw it to Liu Xu: "Look!"

"Yes!" Liu Xu took it, quickly opened it, and immersed himself in the reading. Soon, his face darkened.

This memorial, from the Wu Desi, is about Tao Qi's performance in Daming Mansion.Indeed, such low-level and stupid practices as pampering family members, committing crimes, arbitrarily perverting the law, and harming living beings were not violated by Tao Qi.

However, Tao Yan, the magistrate, did a good job, leaving most of the affairs to the bureaucrats, and he was a hands-off shopkeeper. When he was in the mood, he asked about it, and when he was not in the mood, he drank and had fun.The prosperity of singing and dancing in the Daming Mansion began with him as the magistrate.

"This is laziness! It's negligence!" Liu Xu's face was a little ugly, and there was no place to put the hand holding the memorial, fortunately he was still speaking for Tao Yan.

"If you want to say that this person is stupid, I don't think he is stupid at all! He is low-key, and he is also low-key in his affairs. The key point is that the results of his assessment in the past two years were all average. As you said, he has neither fault nor fault. Yaogong." Emperor Liu said.

Liu Xu frowned, and said, "What do you mean, there are some people who cover up for personal gain during the investigation by the Ministry of Officials?"

Emperor Liu didn't answer this, and said again: "There are 37 people in his family, but he needs to consume ten chickens, twenty fish, two sheep, and a cart of vegetables every day. Hehe, with his little salary, even How can some family property maintain such a huge expense?"

Hearing Emperor Liu's words, Liu Xu couldn't help but smiled wryly, sighed, and then kowtowed: "Your eyes are dim, your understanding is short, you only know the surface, you don't know the vulgarity behind it!"

Emperor Liu raised his hands, moved his shoulders, then lay down again, and said leisurely: "Back then, Tao Gu pulled down his old face to get the position of magistrate for his son. Did he ever think that his son would be the prefect?" This returns his expectations.

Do you think that he did not abandon his post and return home with the coffin in his hands, because he was busy with the affairs of the Northern Expedition and couldn't get away, so he stayed in the post with tears in his eyes?As far as I know, this person is reluctant to bear the official title of magistrate of the daimyo.The reason why you are so trembling and at a loss is because you have a guilty conscience.If it wasn't for my trip this time, maybe I could still let this person be so wanton."

"This kind of disloyal and unfilial person, who is just trying to catch his name, is dismissed from office, it's all to take advantage of him, and he should be taken away!" Liu Xu expressed a little excitedly.

Tao Yu inherited his father, the Marquis of Xinping, and is now a second-class marquis.

"There should be a thorough investigation!" Liu Xu suggested in a cold voice after carefully looking at Emperor Liu.

"I'll talk about this matter later, someone else will deal with it, and Tao Gu is not just his son!" Emperor Liu said lightly.In fact, he did not directly take strict measures against Tao Yu, but sent him back to his hometown for the time being, because Emperor Liu cared about some affection, after all, Tao Gu died not long ago.In addition, the transfer of the title can also reduce the rank of the title, saving some salary and Lumi for the court every year.

Due to the generous treatment of nobles and the fact that there are many princes in the country, even though there are some restrictions on the privileges, as time passes, Emperor Liu began to feel that the annual distribution of money and food to the princes was too much, which brought a heavy burden on the country's finances.
Therefore, in recent years, for the nobles who have violated the law and committed crimes, and were caught by the Emperor Liu, they were dealt with severely and severely. Terrified, but also subconsciously restrained his behavior.

The circumstances of Tao Yan's crime were not considered serious, but if Emperor Liu caught the eye and found a reason, it would naturally be easy to deal with.

"The Daming Mansion is the capital of Hebei, and it still needs a talented and experienced official to manage it!" Emperor Liu muttered, and then said: "You draft a book! Transfer Lu Duan, the magistrate of Puzhou, to take the post of daimyo House!"

"Yes!"

"I'll sleep for a while!" Stretched, Emperor Liu yawned, then shrunk down, leaned against an imperial pillow, and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Xu voluntarily resigned, but before leaving, he put the Wu Desi's report back in its original place, took a blanket for Emperor Liu to cover it, and then quietly exited Luanjia.

Such a caring son!
Emperor Liu didn't seem to notice it, and soon, a small snoring sounded.Inside Luanjia, there were only a few piles of mysterious memorials left to accompany Emperor Liu.

These things were all closely reported by Wu Desi and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they were all the political performances of officials from the prefectures and counties targeted for this inspection, as well as some customs and customs in various places.

It can be said that before the arrival, Emperor Liu already had a general impression of the situation in various places.

When it comes to the situation of officials at home and abroad, Emperor Liu has always kept a small book to record it. Tao Qi was more unlucky, and he wrote in the black book, while Lu Duan wrote in the red book.
