Destiny Only Han

The moonlight is deeper and half a person, Beidou langan Nandouxian.

In Luoyang Palace, although the front hall was brightly lit and full of voices, the back palace fell into silence early on.

In Liu Bang's sleeping hall, the candlelight flickered, and it was vaguely visible that there was a woman with a curvy figure lying on the bed that was originally empty.

The woman was lying flat on the bed, wearing only a thin layer of gauze, her hands were placed on her extremely flat lower abdomen, and above that, there was a few exaggerated arcs that continued to rise and fall with her breathing.

Although the eyes were covered by black cloth strips, just the wet lips, round jaw, and black hair scattered on the bed were enough to make people short of breath and look forward to the next blissful time.

According to the etiquette passed down from the Zhou Dynasty, when the princes made pilgrimages to the emperor, they had to bring local specialties within the fief as tribute.

People, of course, can also be native products.

The woman lying on Liu Bang's bed at this moment is the tribute brought by King Zhao Zhang Ao from his fief.

squeak...

Accompanied by the sound of the palace door opening, the woman lying on the bed shuddered suddenly, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

In fact, she is not an ordinary girl, but the concubine of King Zhao, and now she is here to serve other men.

However, she, who is like duckweed, can only accept it, even if it is a shame even for a woman like her!

click, click, click...

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, the woman's body trembled slightly under the shortness of breath, and the faintly visible veil shook, making her look more and more alluring.

It's just that it's different from what the woman imagined, the visitor didn't pounce on her body, but spread a quilt for her.

Quilt?

The corner of the woman's mouth was raised upwards, revealing a disdainful smile.

She doesn't care about showing her body as a woman, but the dog man has become more reserved!

All of a sudden, the woman felt her world spinning, and under the control of a powerful force, she rolled twice on the wide bed, and the quilt covering her body rolled her into an old Beijing chicken roll...

She just wanted to yell, but she just felt that something was stuffed into her mouth, which made her unable to yell out.

The woman was terrified. Although Zhao Nv has been known as a flamboyant player since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, she was a little puzzled by the other party's manipulation.

Could it be that what I met today was a big player?

Just when she was afraid and looking forward to it, she just felt that she was soaring into the air, as if she was carried on her shoulders, and walked out unsteadily.

While staggering, she thought faintly, she really underestimated this man, she didn't expect that he was no longer satisfied with being in the room, but wanted to have more fun.

For example, field battles...

When she was being carried and walked out, there seemed to be more than one person's footsteps, and the sound of slapping and slapping was obviously not something that a woman's footsteps could make. This sound must be a man. boots.

But she doesn't care.

She is the concubine of King Zhao, and the man who is going to serve today must not be the head of the common people, so it is normal to have followers around.

But soon, the woman felt abnormal.

She didn't seem to be carried into a garden or anything, but thrown over a wagon!

Oops, could it be a kidnapper?

The woman began to struggle hard, babbling and trying to send out a message for help.

She clearly remembers where she was sent to before, so as long as she can be found by the soldiers patrolling around, she can still be saved!
But to her disappointment, although there seemed to be patrolling soldiers passing by where the carriage passed, no one stepped forward to stop and check.

The carriage drove away from the temporary power center of the Han Empire in an unimpeded manner, eliminating the woman's ambition and illusory dreams.

Above Luoyang Palace City, Shangshu ordered Wei Wuzhi to hide in the night, and witnessed the whole process of the woman being 'kidnapped', but he didn't make a sound to stop it.

The carriage is the carriage of the Eastern Palace, and the one carrying the woman forward is the eunuch who is in charge of the general affairs of the Eastern Palace, the young concubine Han Tan.

"Could it be that the prince has grown up and wants to grab a woman from His Majesty?"

This idea flashed in Wei Wuzhi's mind, and he was immediately amused by his own weird idea.

Excluding this absurd idea, it can only be another even more absurd idea.

"Prince, I don't want His Majesty to touch this Zhao daughter!"

Wei Wuzhi knew very well in his heart that Liu Ying was too lazy to take care of Liu Bang's finding a young mother for Liu Ying, and he was not qualified to take care of it.

But why, why do you want to intervene at this time?

"Ms. Zhao, King Zhao..."

Wei Wuzhi murmured softly, squinting his eyes slightly, quietly watching the carriage of the East Palace leave the palace city and disappear into the boundless night.

..........................................

Luoyang Palace.

In the afternoon, Liu Bang was lying on the couch, gently rubbing his temples that were faintly swollen due to hangover, but his eyes were cold and gloomy, staring at a figure sitting in front of him, writing at his desk.

The figure of Liu Ying.

Wei Wuzhi has already told him everything that happened last night, and this Zhuzi dared to spoil his good deeds. If he was not so hungover and couldn't control the strength in his hands, he would have beaten up this bastard a long time ago!

Liu Ying said that she had long been used to the murderous aura coming from behind, and said that we don't care!
The reason is very simple, if Lu Zhi is here at this moment, he will definitely find that he is a lot fatter than yesterday...

Therefore, even if he was beaten up by the old man behind him who was wearing soft armor, it would not be a big deal!
Zhao daughter was kidnapped from the palace last night. Liu Ying asked Han Tan to give her a sum of money and send her back to her hometown to find an honest man to marry, so as not to end up in a tragic death in prison.

It is known that Zhang Ao and Yingbo have hooked up with each other in order to conspire against others. How dare they keep Zhang Ao's concubine Ji by his side to enjoy themselves!
As for the deeper reasons, Liu Bang would not tell him unless he asked.

Well, in fact, even if Liu Bang asked, he still wouldn't say it.

"What are you writing?" Liu Bang asked abruptly, and immediately said, "I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water for Nai Gong!"

This old man is really annoying... Liu Ying put down the brush in her hand, and rolled her eyes with it where Liu Bang couldn't see it: "The document asking for merit, isn't this a victory over the Di people? Soldiers who have meritorious service need to be rewarded..."

He got up and poured Liu Bang a cup of hot water, tested the temperature and handed it over.

Liu Bang agreed and said: "It's right! The most important affairs in the world are rewards and punishments; the most important way to manage a country is to be fair and upright (Note [-])."

He put down the water glass, tapped the table with his index finger: "Then tell me, should Naigong punish you or reward you?"

Liu Ying talked about him from left to right: "Of course we should be rewarded for expanding the land for thousands of miles!"

Liu Bang smiled and didn't say much, just took out a document from his side and put it on the table: "Tell me your opinion."

Liu Ying opened it up and saw that there were two decrees written on it.

The first is to order the officials and soldiers to go to Mayi City and those who flanked the Huns to return to life.

In other words, all soldiers and officers who participated in the battle against the Huns can be exempted from corvee for life!
The second rule is that Jia people should not wear brocade, embroidered, qi, 縠, 絺, 纻, 罽, use soldiers, and ride horses.

This said that merchants could not wear fine clothes like brocade, and were not allowed to hold weapons and ride horses.

Liu Ying scratched her head, the former one was easy for him to understand, but the latter one, he felt a little baffled.

Merchants have made money, so they are not allowed to spend the money in their hands to buy luxury goods with no practical value. They have to be suppressed with laws and regulations. The result is that they can only hide the money in the cellar, or take Go out and buy land...

But Liu Ying thought about it again, this decree is actually not bad.

The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

The Han Empire suppressed merchants, or kept wealth from the people for decades. When it came to Liu Xiaozhu's period, a wave of counting orders and warning orders was filled to the brim...

Liu Ying nodded and said, "I agree with the first one, but let's forget about the second one."

Liu Bang sat up straight and asked, "Why forget it?"

In fact, the second is his own idea, the purpose is to attack private businessmen, and support government businessmen.

The reason is very simple, because business tax is not easy to collect, merchants do not cultivate or weave, and rely on logistics for profit.

It is written in "Han Feizi" that if merchants accumulate outside and people are trapped inside, the country will perish.

Therefore, the fewer private merchants who do business all over the world, do not pay poll tax, and use various means to evade taxes, the better.

Liu Ying said with a smile: "Seeking wealth from the poor, agriculture is not as good as industry, and industry is not as good as business. Instead of thinking about using these vain laws to curb merchants, it is better to train more tax collectors and maximize the business taxes that should be collected. It's all going to the treasury."

Well, for example, in the beautiful country next door, the most frightening thing is not the departments like Fobole, but the taxation...

Liu Bang curled his lips and said disdainfully: "If there are so many tax collectors who can read and write, why would Naigong waste such effort!"

Liu Ying stretched out her hand and rubbed her thumb, index finger and ring finger twice:

"So, there is no need to promulgate this decree! If someone makes money, let him spend it generously."

"With demand, there will be a market; with a market, there will be the motivation to produce and expand production. After commercial circulation, even the common people will benefit from it, and the country's taxation will also increase."

"When the country has money, it will be enough to invest in education. For example, my Dahan Public School can accept more students! At that time, are you afraid that there will not be enough tax collectors?"

"Dahan Public School?" Liu Bang murmured softly, becoming interested in this thing that he used to think was just a child's house.

Liu Ying asked with a smile: "How about I give up the position of principal to my father, and I will be the vice principal..."

Liu Bang was overjoyed at first, and immediately moved back, his face full of vigilance: "What the hell are you thinking?"

{Note [-], this sentence comes from Wu Jing's "Zhenguan Zhengyao" in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanling said to him: "I heard that the important way to govern the country lies in fairness and integrity.Therefore, "Shangshu" says: Without bias and no party, the king's way is swaying; without party and without bias, the king's way is flat.
