Han Shizu

Chapter 374
At the time of Mengyue, the revived land seemed to reflect the revived Han Dynasty. Compared with the same time in previous years, Tokyo City also had obvious changes.The traffic is busy, the flow of people is like weaving, and the sound is booming...Of course, it is not that exaggerated, but it is still much more lively.

Since the opening of the Beishi market at Chenshi, Liu Chengyou has appeared in an attic, staring at an ordinary street in the city to observe, the so-called watching the people forget their spirits.Standing for nearly an hour, Liu Chengyou's face was numb all the time, his eyes were calm and upright like a pile.

"Brother, what's the difference between those two shops? It's been almost a morning." Huaiyang King Liu Chengxun, who was called to accompany him, muttered in a low voice.

In the past two or three years, Liu Chengxun has grown a lot, especially his stature has grown rapidly. Standing together, he has faintly surpassed his imperial brother.After King Feng opened the mansion, his previously exuberant temperament has subsided. According to the report Liu Chengyou received, he has lived in the mansion for a long time, practicing literature and martial arts, and he has not given up.

However, after all, one is young, and one's temperament is not so easy to change.In the early morning, I heard the edict passed by the palace people, saying that the emperor called him to accompany him on a trip. Although he was seldom surprised, he still came here with great interest.However, the result was that a group of people stood by
"Why, can't stand anymore?" Hearing Liu Chengxun's "complaint", Liu Chengyou asked softly with a relaxed expression.

"No!" Upon hearing the question, Liu Chengxun denied reflexively, and then said with a chuckle: "Just as far as I am concerned, standing for an hour is more tiring than riding a horse for an hour!"

"If you are tired, find a place to rest!" Liu Chengyou's words were not just for Liu Chengxun.

In addition to the servants and close ministers, there is also Hou Yi, the governor of Kaifeng, who accompanied him.Hearing the emperor's words of "compassion", the others did not move, only this old man handed over his hands and confessed: "The old minister's old legs are really impatient, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

After all, he was not restrained at all, and sat down cross-legged, stroked his white beard, and continued to look at the street through the railing.Although, he didn't understand, what's the difference between a silk shop and a porcelain shop.I can't figure it out, but the old man can see it, at most he can send someone to investigate afterwards.

Seeing Hou Yi's open-minded performance, Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't care.Hou Yi is an old man, although he doesn't have much knowledge, he does have a way of being an official, and he handles people and things just right.Thinking back, when I resigned from Fengxiang and went east to Kaifeng, it seems that I never offended the emperor.

"Remember how many people have visited each of the two stores since it opened, and how many business transactions have been completed?" Liu Chengyou suddenly asked Liu Chengxun.

"I don't know." Hearing this question suddenly, Liu Chengxun looked bewildered.

"Don't you know?" Liu Chengyou turned his head and asked the others.

They all kept silent, Wang Pu didn't need to be in the limelight, but Zhang Yongde, who was also a bodyguard, carefully stated a few figures, obviously this young bodyguard was careful.

The direct generals of Liu Chengyou's imperial squad have been rotated all the time, not only for the sake of buying people's hearts nearby, but also for training. When the time comes, they will be relocated or sent out to sharpen them. Now it has become a pattern.Like the former Li Chongju, Zhao Kuangyin was sent to Suzhou by Liu Chengyou to serve as a regiment training envoy, which is very close to Jiangbei in the Southern Tang Dynasty!

"Standing for so long, could it be that you're just watching like this?" Liu Chengyou asked Liu Chengxun with an approving look at the new head of the guards, making the air around him a bit cooler.

Liu Chengxun subconsciously lowered his head, hesitated twice, but Nuonuo was speechless.

"Huang Kao made a great man with a blue thread. As a great man, you are not too young. This country needs your efforts to protect it." Liu Chengyou is familiar with these clichés.

"When you go out of the house on weekdays, don't just go hunting, go to the market more often, and see the life and the people!" Liu Chengyou pointed to the shops in the market in a teaching tone, and said: "It's not a peaceful world now, let Don't be slack in the slightest, and I am the same, when all the businesses in this market are thriving, will I dare to relax in the slightest!"

"Yes!" His mouth curled up, and Liu Chengxun replied reluctantly.However, facing the majesty of Brother Jun, his expression only dared to do this.

When Liu Chengyou went out of the palace today, of course he not only took the emperor's younger brother to stand on the street to observe the scenery and teach him a lesson, but also exercised his muscles and bones a little. Liu Chengyou asked his servant Zhang Dejun: "How is the time?"

Zhang Dejun was clearly concerned about the time, and immediately responded: "Go back to the official's house, it's almost time!"

"Then let's go!" Liu Chengyou said.

But he stopped Liu Chengxun, and told him: "You don't have to follow, you haven't entered the palace for a few days, and you can ask An's mother later, do you still need me to teach you how to be filial?"

Another lesson, Liu Chengxun is already used to it.

However, Liu Chengyou's attitude changed immediately and became softer, with a slight smile on his lips, he said: "Mother, there is a happy event waiting for you!"

Patting his younger brother on the shoulder, Liu Chengyou ordered someone to lead the bewildered young King Huaiyang away.

Glancing at Qi Qingjian's back for a while, Liu Chengyou finally moved his sore legs, and before leaving, he left a question: "A beggar like that, who is dressed in rags and can't find enough food, is there any How many?"

Following Liu Chengyou's expectations, you can see the "beggar" in the mouth of the emperor at a glance in the relatively dry streets and alleys. Poverty, hunger, and desolation, a few vivid words seem to hang above his head.

After Liu Chengyou left under the escort of the guards, a Kaifeng government official who was lucky enough to follow took a deep breath and asked Hou Yi in doubt: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by these words?"

Hou Yi leaned on the railing, twisted his neck a little, muttered while thinking: "The emperor is asking me to deal with these poor people!"

Hearing this, the subordinate's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "This untouchable, instead of producing, went to Beijing to beg for food. It's really abominable. Do you want to send someone to drive all these people out of the city?"

Hearing his suggestion, old Hou Yi twitched his brows, resisted the urge to slap this subordinate, flashed his anger slightly, and scolded: "Confused! If so, you and I will wait for Your Majesty's thunderous wrath! Your Majesty is like that!" Love the people."

"Stupid and stupid!" The subordinate only felt a chill in his neck, and suddenly realized.

"Then how to deal with it?"

Apparently, this question stumped Hou Yi, he grabbed his old beard, pondered for a while, and then said: "Send someone to gather these 'beggars' in the city, young and strong ones, give them a meal, and send them to the pier , Mine work, as for women, children, old and young, put some food for the time being, and give them a helping hand. As for later, we will talk about it later!"

"So, the weather in Tokyo must be completely new!" The subordinate immediately flattered him.

There was no complacent expression on Hou Yi's face, he just shook his head and sighed in his heart, the position of Governor of Kaifeng is not easy to do.This old man is already thinking about whether he should submit his resignation.
Huaiyang King Liu Chengxun followed Liu Chengyou's arrangement and went to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Li before returning home.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he directly asked the officials in the palace, "Is the Grand Tutor here?"

"In the study!"

The study in the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion is where Liu Chengxun studied on weekdays. Li Song, the Taifu of Huaiyang Prince chosen by Liu Chengyou for him, wrote in handwriting during this period.

When Liu Chengxun came to find him, the master and apprentice sat opposite each other, and immediately told Li Song about the "grievances" they had suffered while accompanying them.

Hearing this, Li Song took a different attitude, persuading Liu Chengxun: "Your Majesty's words are very true, Your Majesty should know that it is really not easy for Your Majesty to maintain the Han Dynasty with the respect of a young man. As the emperor's brother, you should be considerate of your brother !"

"What's more, Your Majesty is strict with the king, precepts and deeds, this is exactly what you value."

Soon, Li Song came to give a lecture again, and he was probably used to it. Although he felt dizzy, his mood improved a lot.

"By the way, there is another matter, ask the Taifu?"

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."

Somewhat embarrassed and with a little hesitation, Liu Chengxun said to Li Song: "I went to the palace to visit my mother, and I learned from her that she wants to choose a princess for me."
