Dahan first prince

Chapter 125 The Road to Suicide of the Changling Tian Clan

The news that the Zhengguo Canal was completely renovated spread throughout Guanzhong with Chang'an as the center in just a few days.

Changling Town, which faces Chang'an across the Bashui River, naturally received the news early.

As the resting place of today's son Liu Bang after his death, the Changling Mausoleum began to be built on the day Han Zuo Ding was established.

Although so far, Changling still does not have the obvious characteristics of an imperial mausoleum, but as a mausoleum, Changling City was completely completed as early as three years ago in the eighth year of the Han Dynasty.

As the emperor, Liu Bang, the reason why he was so active in preparing for his own affairs was not that Liu Bang knew he was going to die soon, but because of a policy related to the national destiny of the Liu Han Dynasty and the foundation of the country of Hanzuo Sheji.

——The system of Lingyi.

As early as three years ago, when Changling Township was built, Emperor Liu Bang ordered that the nobles of the world, the nobles of the six kingdoms, and the local tycoons in Guanzhong move into Changling Township.

As for the rhetoric, it is also very tough: the world has been fighting for a long time, and there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces; Guanzhong is the foundation of the country, and it ordered the heroes of the world to be moved to Guanzhong.

Since then, the mausoleum system unique to the Western Han Dynasty has gradually become the ancestral system of the Liu Han Dynasty under the personal demonstration of the founding emperor Liu Bang.

The emperor's mausoleum began to be built in the second year after the emperor's accession to the throne; the mausoleum was to be completed within three years of the new emperor's ascension to the throne!

Then, the counties and counties all over the world reported that "the tail is too big to be removed, and the counties and counties cannot be ruled by two thousand stones", and then the prime minister's office took the lead to force these local tyrants who showed the embryonic form of the family to live in the mausoleum of the current emperor.

——Guarding the spirit of the Son of Heaven, it's glory.

As the mausoleum of the founding emperor, the first batch of residents of Changling had moved into Guanzhong as early as the eighth year of the Han Dynasty three years ago.

In Changling, there are residences of Liuhou, Binghou and other families who will indeed guard the spirit of the emperor Liu Bang in the future, and there are descendants of nobles from the six kingdoms. Naturally, there are also local tyrants who came to Chang'an like leeks.

Among the more than [-] Kanto immigrants in Changling City, the most prosperous after moving to Guanzhong is the former Tian family, who has become a wealthy businessman in Guanzhong today after the Qi State: Changling Tian's undoubtedly... ···
·
"Your Majesty, did you really say that?"

Changling Yi, the Tian family mansion.

Seeing the man in front of him nodding his head silently, Tian Ai, the head of the Tian clan, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"According to the king's wishes..."

Before Tian Ai's voice fell, the man said without even thinking: "Your Majesty, the Prince wants to build the Zhengguo Canal. After the autumn harvest next year, the grain production in Guanzhong will be abundant."

"After the death of Duke Tian, ​​the King of Qi, he is now in charge of a wealthy businessman in China's grain merchants. As the harvest year is approaching, there may be great things to do..."

After saying this meaningfully, the man stood up without hesitation, and bowed his hands to Tian Ai.

"Your Majesty's will, Mr. Tian must be clear about it."

"If this matter can be accomplished, in the future, the king will definitely thank Mr. Tian."

After saying that, the man made a gesture of leaving, and when he reached the threshold, he stopped in a somewhat pretentious manner, and turned around hesitating to speak.

"If someone remembers correctly, Tian Gong's eldest granddaughter has not left the cabinet yet?"

If someone said this, the man cupped his hands again, walked out from the main gate of the Tian Mansion, and headed towards Chang'an City.

The moment that figure disappeared from the field of vision, a slightly green figure emerged from behind the screen and walked to Tian Ai's side with an excited face.

"grown ups!"

"Your Majesty's intention is to reuse it in the Wutian clan!"

"If this matter is successful, in the future, it is unknown whether Wu Tian's family will become a noble relative of the Han Dynasty?"

Unexpectedly, when Tian Ai heard this, he only thoughtfully looked in the direction where the previous person left, and then heaved a long sigh.

"When misfortune comes, happiness rests on it, and when fortune comes, misfortune rests on it..."

"I just don't know this time, whether the Wutian clan is about to be rich or in great trouble..."

Muttering full of regret, Tian Ai turned around shaking his head and sighing, and sat down on the seat above him again.

On the other hand, the young man seemed still unwilling to give up, and stepped forward a little anxiously.

"Adult~"

"Since King Tian Hengtian of the Qi Dynasty killed himself, and His Majesty forcibly moved the Wutian clan into Guanzhong, the Wutian clan has been a merchant."

"If you have such a good opportunity to be rich and honored today, if you don't make a decisive decision, I'm afraid that in the future, a mere merchant and lowly household in the Wutian family will be killed by the rich and powerful like an ant, and it will only happen overnight..."

But when Tian Ai heard this, the corners of his eyebrows twitched suddenly!
"What do you know?"

"—Han Zuo was established for less than a month, and His Majesty once issued an order to the world: Jia people are not allowed to wear silk and ride in cars!"

"Today's king!"

In the middle of speaking, Tian Ai hurriedly stopped talking, looked around full of fear, and then waved to the young grandson Tian Chong in front of him.

After Tian Chong listened to him, Tian Ai lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

"The king's plan today is very big. If it succeeds, it will be very precious in the future; but if it doesn't succeed, the king will die without a place to bury him!"

"And now that the crown prince has been established, the empress is personally in charge of the Lu family as protection, and the ministers of the court are considered foreign aid."

"If your majesty wants to fulfill this lofty ambition, I'm afraid it will be difficult and difficult."

"If I'm not careful, I'm afraid the whole family will collapse and the ancestral hall will be wiped out..."

After Tian Chong's face showed a thoughtful expression, Tian Ai shook his head and straightened up, and heaved a long and bitter sigh.

"Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, all the people in the world have been no more than the four classes of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants."

"Wu Tian's family, although it is still respectfully called by outsiders today: Therefore, Tian Qi is the heir, but the household registration of Wu Tian's family can be a business registration~"

"As a businessman, rashly meddling in the affairs of the Tian family, especially the matter of seizing the heir and fighting for the reserve..."

Having said this, Tian Ai couldn't help shaking his head and sighing again.

"It's hard..."

"If things fail, it will be a disaster for the whole family!"

"Even if things come to fruition, the king who begs you with gentle words today will fear that his temper will change drastically in the future, and he will kill Wu Tian's family to prevent future troubles..."

After saying that, Tian Ai slumped on the soft couch with ashen face, a little bit of self-ashamedness appeared in his expression.

"After the death of the King of Qi, the Wutian clan has now become a lowly household of merchants..."

"I'm ashamed of my ancestors, I'm ashamed of my ancestors..."

Following Tian Ai's words of self-ashamedness, the magnificent main hall of Tian's mansion also quietly fell silent.

After such a long time, Tian Chong whispered a little hesitantly, breaking the lonely atmosphere in the hall.

"My grandson thinks that there is still room for improvement in this matter..."

"Oh?"

Seeing Tian Ai's complexion froze for a moment, he straightened up from the soft couch, and looked at Tian Chong with a little expectation.

"Where does the meter come from?"

Asking a little urgently, Tian Ai looked at Tian Chong with encouraging expectations.

As the saying goes, one's own family knows one's own affairs.

Ever since the Emperor Liu Bang issued an edict to force the Tian family from Linzi, the capital of Qi, to Changling, most of the Tian family's children were unable to accept the huge gap between the royal family and the merchants, and became confused.

Later, with great difficulty, Tian Ai used commercial means to turn the Changling Tian family into the number one wealthy businessman in Guanzhong, and most of Tian's young nephews became cockfighting lackeys, addicted to pleasure.

That is, Tian Chong, who showed a little talent in business, made Tian Ai not feel too worried about the future of the Tian clan.

Naturally, when Tian Chong said "maybe there is still a way", Tian Ai began to look forward to Tian Chong's strategy.

Hearing Tian Chong's words, he pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands to Tian Ai.

"Your Excellency may think that this matter is due to Wu Tian's being a merchant who hastily intervened in the battle for the heir apparent."

"However, my grandson thinks that's not always the case."

"Wu Tian's line of Jia Guanzhong, neither stealing nor robbing, has never violated the "Han Law", only buys the people's grain after the autumn harvest, and then sells the grain to the people."

"This is something that everyone in Guanzhong knows."

As he said that, Tian Chong showed a little confidence on his face.

"This time, the crown prince is ordered by His Majesty to build the Zhengguo Canal. This year's autumn harvest, Weibei will naturally have a good harvest."

"Regardless of what the king intends to do and what he will explain, our Tian family is the head of grain merchants in Guanzhong, and when the harvest is imminent, we should do something."

"Grandson's meaning: since this year is considered to be a good year, your lord can send a letter to the grain merchants in all parts of Guanzhong to slowly increase the price of grain from now on."

"By the beginning of spring in February, the grain left by the people's homes will be gone. When the grain is needed to sow the farmland, it will be multiplied again, even to five thousand dollars!"

"Afterwards, the price of grain will be slowly increased by a hundred dollars a day, until the autumn harvest, it can be as high as eight thousand dollars."

"In this way, the grain and rice that the Wutian family can earn today are hundreds of thousands of shi, and they can get hundreds of millions of money!"

After depicting this blood-spitting beautiful scene vigorously, Tian Chong changed the topic again.

"After the autumn harvest, there will be plenty of grain in Guanzhong, and your lord can lower the price of grain to less than a thousand dollars, so as to buy grain at a low price for the people; when the grain is sold next year, the price of grain will rise slowly like this year."

"This has been repeated for several years, and the family of Wutian's family is afraid that the treasury and internal funds will not be able to fight; even if the powerful want to be disadvantageous to Wutian's family, they should also be afraid..."

Having said this, Tian Chong couldn't help but lower his voice, and listened to his grandfather Tian Ai.

"If this happens repeatedly for several years, the people in Guanzhong will suffer from repeated food prices, and the crown prince's contribution to building the Zhengguo Canal will go to waste."

"At that time, my lord can still make hundreds of troublesome people outside the Weiyang Palace and scold the prince for 'building canals so that the grain will be cheap and hurt the farmers', and the prince will lose the popularity of the people."

"The crown prince is spurned by all the people in Guanzhong, and my family is with the king, so we have an account..."

After saying that, Tian Chong straightened up with a chuckle, and sat back in his seat with a little complacency.

Hearing Tian Chong's plan, Tian Ai's expression was cloudy for a long time.

Thirty breaths later, I saw Tian Ai and asked with a little guilt: "So, is it more dangerous?"

Unexpectedly, when Tian Chong heard the words, he just shook his head with a solemn expression.

"That's not the case, what do adults think?"

"Could it be that your lord really wants to resign from the king's entrustment?"

"If you hate the prince, the Wutian family can still say 'in business, talk about business' and 'it's all about profit'."

"However, if you hate the king, I'm afraid you won't wait for your majesty's palace chariot to drive, and the Wu Tian family will be rejected by the king..."

　The last chapter seems to be a bit controversial, so let me explain it to you.

　　Mrs. Qi was born in the Ding Tao Hao family, and she was considered a powerful woman.

　　As for Liu Ruyi, an eight-year-old doll, to be so precocious, isn't it a bit outrageous?

　　What I want to say is: Liu Ruyi is not a doll of an ordinary family, but a prince who is fighting for the throne, and his mother is almost useless.

　　To give a similar example——Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, after Emperor Jing Liu Qi abolished Prince Rong, once said to Emperor Jing Liu Qi's sister Guan Tao: If I marry Cousin Gillian, I will definitely use a piece of gold to build a house. Hide Cousin Gillian in it.

　　So at that time, how old was Liu Zhi, King of Jiaodong who was still the "Tenth Prince of Emperor Jing"?

　　six years old.

　　The six-year-old King of Jiaodong, Liu Yu, was able to be registered as the prince at the age of seven with the allusion of "Golden House Cangjiao" and with the help of Princess Guantao.

　　The six-year-old King of Jiaodong, Liu Yu, matured so precociously that he left the allusion of "Golden House Cangjiao" and thus became the prince Liu Che. The eight-year-old Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi wanted to seize the heir apparent, so precocious, is it outrageous?

　　I feel that, as a child of the royal family, especially the prince who is accompanied by the founding emperor all the year round and has the ambition to compete for the crown prince, eight-year-old Liu Ruyi is no longer a child.

　　——Western Han folk men and women get married and have children at the age of twelve or thirteen. They can be enlisted in the army at the age of 14. At the age of eight, they are already able to work in the fields and be the labor force of the family.

　　Looking at the eight-year-old ancient people with the eight-year-old of modern people, especially the ancient people whose average life expectancy was less than 2200 years ago 30 years ago, is undoubtedly biased, and it is a little bit 'putting aside the facts'.

　　There is another chapter, which is being coded and published in the middle of the night.
