Dahan first prince

Chapter 144 Charge?Doesn't this exist?

Liu Ying knew nothing about the three hexagrams predicted by Tian He.

If she knew, Liu Ying would definitely pat Tian He on the shoulder in amazement.

——Leaving aside the last one, the first two things were really calculated by Tian He using the technique of divination.

If there is no accident, in another month, the Linzi Tian clan, one of the Seven Heroes during the Warring States Period, who left the allusion of "Tian Clan on behalf of Qi" in later generations, will only have Tian He, the only branch left.

And according to Liu Ying's memory in her previous life, this time the royal conquest, the father of the emperor, Liu Bang, who put down the rebellion of Chen Xi, really tried his best, and even almost staged a "Battle of Pingcheng 2.0" with the Huns. Chen Xi's rebellion.

In order to put down Chen Xi's rebellion, even Liu Bang's few remaining lives were spent more than half.

"Um······"

"This life should be similar..."

Thinking to herself, Liu Ying couldn't help tightening her clothes a little, and accompanied by Lu Shizhi, she walked from the North City Gate to Changling Town.

It's not that Liu Ying is so interested in Changling Township and Tian's 'broken' house, but because of some unwritten factors that have to be considered.

——Changling, Liu Ying's father, the emperor's father, is the mausoleum of today's son Liu Bang...
Although Liu Bangshang is still alive, but as a son, especially as a prince, it is a bit inappropriate to spread the word from Changling City with bright clothes and angry horses.

After all, no matter what, the present Prince Liu Ying is theoretically still in the 'exploration period'.

Although the storage position is actually as stable as Mount Tai, as long as Liu Bang is alive, in theory, Liu Ying's storage position can only be said to be 'ninety-nine percent will not go wrong' at best.

Only when the emperor Liu Bang closed his eyes, Liu Ying sat on the imperial couch in Changle Palace with his buttocks, tied the jade seal made of Heshibi around his waist, received worship from hundreds of officials, and then went to the Supreme Emperor Liu Only by offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the Taimiao and Liu's ancestral halls can it be said that it is foolproof.

Liu Ying didn't even dare to sit in that dilapidated carriage, and Liu Ying didn't dare to take all the five hundred guards with her.

Originally, they wanted to bring 30 people with them, and the rest of them would go around outside Changling Town and meet outside the Nancheng Gate, but Lu Shizhi strongly opposed it.

Unable to resist Lu Shizhi's arrogant temper, Liu Ying talked openly and secretly for a while, and then both uncle and nephew took a step back.

—Leave 30 people to accompany them, and the rest will be divided into teams of 50 people each, pretending to be soldiers on patrol, and passing through Changling City in sequence.

But even so, Lu Shizhi didn't relax his vigilance, and answered Liu Ying's questions from time to time, but his gaze was like a falcon, scanning both sides of the street with vigilance.

Liu Ying was not so nervous, and chatted with Lu Shizhi in a relaxed manner.

"Earlier, my nephew heard about Changling, and Xiao Xiang moved tens of thousands of households in Guandong, with a population of nearly [-]; and Tian's, but one of these tens of thousands of households."

"Since the Tian family has become a merchant, what do the tens of thousands of households in Changling do for their livelihood?"

Hearing Liu Ying's question, Lu Shizhi still had the same double-minded attitude, serving Liu Ying with his mouth and scanning his surroundings.

"I don't know at home."

"Xiao Xiangguo moved from the Guandong to Changling City, not the heirs of the Dutian clan and other old countries, or the powerful and powerful merchants."

"Qin's sweep of Liuhe has already made the Kwantung rich and powerful households less than one out of ten, and His Majesty obeyed God's orders, first conquering the tyranny of Qin, and then conquering Xiang Yu. The Kwantung has been in chaos for nearly ten years."

"In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, when Xiang Yu committed suicide in the Wujiang River in the next battle of Gai, there were only a handful of rich and powerful households in the Kanto region."

As he spoke, Lu Shizhi's vigilance eased a little.

After looking around for a long time, Lu Shizhi's attention slowly returned to Liu Ying's question when he did not find any "suspicious person" on both sides of the street.

"And those who His Majesty ordered Xiao Xiang to move from Guandong to Changling, except for the heirs of the six kingdoms, and thousands of households in the Guandong local tycoons, the rest are mostly relatives of meritorious lords, courtiers and hundreds of officials."

"Your Majesty's intention at that time was that Changling should be close to Chang'an, and relatives of princes and officials should be moved to Changling so as not to make them feel homesick. Furthermore, after a hundred years, they can all stay in Changling and guard His mausoleum." .”

"However, today, there are almost none of the meritorious princes, nobles, courtiers and hundreds of officials living in Changling."

"—such as Marquis Feng, Marquis Ruyin and Shaofu, etc., are all in charge of the court, and most of them live near Chang'an;"

"Wuyanghou, Jianghou, etc. have rich backgrounds, but most of the heroes who are unemployed will make their homes in Xinfeng."

"As well as the officials of Qianshi and Liubaishi in the imperial court, many of them settled down in Weinan, in order to get close to Chang'an (biàn)."

Hearing Lu Shizhi's analysis, Liu Ying couldn't help raising her eyebrows, stretched out her arms with doubts, and swept them on both sides of her body.

"Marchs of meritorious service and hundreds of officials in the court all live elsewhere, so Changling should be sparsely populated."

"Why are people coming and going on the street, more complicated than Chang'an?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words, Mrs. Lu's face, which had just relaxed, became a little solemn again.

"At home."

"Those who often live in Changling today are no more than thousands of households descended from the families of the old six kings and powerful in the Kanto region."

"As well as the people coming and going in Changling City, apart from the prosperity of thousands of households, it is the trend of slavery among this generation that is extremely prosperous..."

Saying that, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but put his hands behind his back, frowned slightly, and let out a long and leisurely sigh.

"Let's say this time, the Changling Tian family who wants to be ruled by the family, the house sits on the ground with a radius of a hundred steps, even if it is compared to the Phoenix Palace of the Crown Prince's palace at home, it is also slightly wider!"

"In his house, although there are only 17 men, there are many concubines and servants."

"According to rumors: there are no less than a hundred people in the Tian Mansion, Zhao Ji, who is good at singing and dancing alone!"

"What's more, in addition to hundreds of dancers and hundreds of servants in the house, the Tian family has sixteen granaries outside, each with dozens of family members, armed with knives and sticks to guard!"

"If you count them carefully, the number of Tian's men is no more than seventeen, but the number of servants may not be less than five hundred..."

Hearing Lu Shizhi's words, Liu Ying's eyes widened a little because he had expected Tian's "golden fans".

"There are hundreds of dancers, but no fewer than five hundred slaves?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

It has to be said that even as a prince, Liu Ying's jaw almost dropped when she heard these two numbers.

Dancer, as the name suggests, is a woman who is specially used by wealthy families to enjoy dancing before and after tea and dinner, and for some unspeakable purposes.

Different from slaves in the usual sense, this kind of group basically doesn't need to do any labor in the high gate, they just need to make the master happy.

——Well, through various methods, make the master happy.

And such a person, in a sense, can also be understood as a 'concubine'.

That is to say, the Changlingtian clan was only seventeen males, yet had hundreds of concubines.

As for the five hundred servants, let alone.

——A few months ago, because of the construction of the Zhengguo Canal, Liu Ying reached out to the court officials to ask for private slaves at home. The prime minister who gave the most, Xiao He, was only 120 strong men!

As for the incumbent Jiuqing, the only Shaofu Yangchengyan who does not have the Marquis of Che, there are only 17 pitiful people.

Liu Ying even heard that even among these seventeen people, several of them were cousins ​​from afar who were found in Yancheng in Yangcheng!
To be honest, the only person who can compete with Tian, ​​who is rich and powerful with hundreds of dancers and at least five hundred servants, is probably only Liu Ying's eldest brother, who is far away in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and occupies 73 cities in Qi. Wang Liu is fat.

While thinking about it, she felt that Lu Shizhi seemed to slow down a little, and Liu Ying turned her head involuntarily.

Seeing Lu Shizhi raised her head slightly behind her back, Liu Ying also turned around again, and finally saw the legendary mansion called 'comparable to a palace'.

In almost a moment, Liu Ying's attention shifted from the two stone Pixiu outside the main gate of Tian Mansion to the row of carriages parked beside the gate.

"Hey······"

With a sudden sneer, Liu Ying turned around with deep meaning and looked at Lu Shizhi who was already gnashing his teeth.

"Uncle just said: There are more than 500 private slaves in the Changlingtian family?"

When Lu Shizhi nodded without hesitation, Liu Ying smiled sympathetically.

"Xiao Xiang wrote "The Law of the Han Dynasty", which said: Whoever keeps a slave, pays the slave at the age of the year; one slave, the yearly money is counted five times, and it is used to enter the Shaofu's money."

"In this way, the Changlingtian family kept no less than five hundred slaves, and the annual slave payment counted as two thousand and five hundred; another calculation is one hundred and twenty coins, and two thousand five hundred counts, and the bento is 30 coins!"

"I don't know in the past few years, did the Shaofu get this slave of 30 yuan per year from the Changling Tian clan?"

Hearing that Liu Ying mentioned "slave calculation", Lu Shizhi first lowered his head subconsciously.

Hearing Liu Ying's next question again, Lu Shizhi gritted his teeth again, and looked at the row of magnificent carriages parked outside Tian's mansion.

"Never!"

"Last year, I also heard that the Shaofu cried out to His Majesty: The money in the Shaofu is less than a million dollars for slaves every year!"

"Even if this million is paid, most of it came from the court's lords and honored officials. I have never heard of Yang Shaofu's words. There are slaves who figured out the city of Changling and put it into the Shaofu's money!"

After saying that, Lu Shizhi seemed to think of something again, his face froze for a while, then he lowered his voice again, and moved his body a little closer to Liu Ying.

"Does the family want to start with this matter to punish Tian's crime?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying only smiled and shook her head.

"It's just a case of not paying slaves. If you punish him with this, it's just a fine, and it's too cheap for his Tian family..."

call out!
Just halfway through Liu Ying's words, she heard a sharp breaking wind in the air!
"There are assassins!!!"

Subconsciously hissed, Lu Shizhi lowered his head when his complexion changed drastically, only to see a few drops of scarlet dripping from between Liu Ying's clenched lips!
"Ming Dy!!!!!!"

"Escort!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

There were two roars in succession. Lu Shizhi ignored Liu Ying's injury and stood in front of Liu Ying with a face full of panic. He cooperated with the accompanying guards and surrounded Liu Ying.

Looking anxiously at the jailer who was galloping towards the north gate, Lu Shizhi seemed to faintly hear Liu Ying's slightly weak murmur from behind.

"Tian's crime..."

"Cough cough cough..."
