Destiny Only Han

Chapter 723 Liu Ying: My schedule is so tight...

Taiyi is near the sky, connected to the mountains and the sea.

In the early morning, all things wake up in Zhongnan Mountain, the mountains are green, overlooking the mountains, they are tall and straight, and the white clouds and mist freely diffuse among the rolling mountains, like a fairyland.

Liu Ying, as always, followed the biological clock to get up and put on her underwear in a daze. After washing, she let the gentle-faced Dou Yifang dress him up.

The worst thing about the ancients was that their hair was too long, and they had to comb their hair carefully every day, which made Liu Ying somewhat understand why the 5 minutes in the mouths of girls in later generations is equivalent to two hours in reality...

Of course, this is limited to the rich, and ordinary people can just pick it up and fix it with a branch.

Dou Yifang looked at Liu Ying in the mirror, her heart was beating violently, her round and rosy cheeks were rosy.

Liu Ying in front of her has thick eyebrows and a high nose, and the curvature and shape of her lips are just right, especially at the moment, his eyes are a little sleepy, but his slightly closed eyes hide the condescension of his natural wealth, which makes him look a bit scholarly and refined.

This is my young master, in the future my child will grow up to look like the young master... Dou Yifang is full of pride, but when she thinks of going crazy to death last night and conquering repeatedly, she feels her legs go weak and her face blush even more Sheng.

After a while, Liu Ying looked left and right in the mirror, posed two poses, and said with a smile: "I'll go to my mother to say hello first, take your time, don't panic."

Dou Yifang nodded slightly, but was not in a hurry to freshen up, but called the maids to bring Liu Qi and Liu Xuan.

She was going to bed last night, so the child was handed over to the nanny to take care of. Now that it is daytime, she will naturally feed the child herself. After all, whoever raises the child will kiss whomever.

Seeing this, Liu Ying hurried away, so as not to hear those two stingy guys crying again because the rice in the bowl was running low.

It's just that when he walked to the door, Bank of China bent over like a shrimp and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Zhang Hou and the other county guards were waiting outside the villa last night. Do you want to meet today?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "No see."

The last time he had a private meeting with a foreign minister, he was charged with a black case and fined to copy a thick book. If he meets again now, it may not be as simple as copying a book.

After all, Liu Bang is always angry because he cheated him, and he is worried that he can't find an excuse to deal with him...

Moreover, it will also leave a bad impression that the current prince does not follow the rules and repeats the same mistakes.

The most important thing is that Liu Ying knows their purpose.

Isn't it just that after learning about the reclamation order yesterday, you want to seek some benefits for the people in the jurisdiction?

It's just that Liu Ying didn't care about their selfishness. After all, according to some historical views, land annexation was not the main reason for the demise of the feudal dynasty.

Exorbitant taxes, excessive levies, collusion between officials and gentry, and excessive exploitation were the direct reasons for the demise of the feudal dynasty.

To put it bluntly, there is no effective and relatively fair distribution mechanism. As a result, the rich are exempted from most of the taxes, while the poor have no place to stand, but have to sell their sons and daughters to pay the pressure. taxes on their heads.

Therefore, even if the nobles and nobles occupy a large amount of land, it doesn’t matter. When the time is right, they can adjust the taxation, that is, the rich pay more taxes, and the poor pay less taxes or do not pay taxes or even receive subsidies for secondary distribution.

After all, there is a saying in "Lao Tzu", that the way of heaven damages more than makes up for what is not enough.

The emperor took the place of the herdsmen, and naturally followed the way of heaven.

Having said that, Liu Ying does not intend to apply the Qianhao Order to Dangjun and other Central Plains counties now.

Without him, now is the summer harvest season, after the summer harvest is the autumn sowing, after the autumn sowing is the autumn harvest, a year's hard work is for this half year's harvest.

If the people in the Central Plains were asked to return their fields and go to Hetao Plain to open up wasteland at this time, I am afraid that every minute in a small unknown corner, the buzzing of foxes will reappear!
So Liu Ying looked at Bank of China who was waiting aside and said in a low voice:

"Tell them that the time has not come. The most important thing for them at this stage is to undertake industrial transfers and help promote agricultural machinery trading companies."

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

East Palace.

A carriage with white flags hanging slowly stopped at the door. Zang Yan, the heir of Chengde Marquis in hemp and filial piety, got off the carriage and stared at the square in front of the palace gate in a daze.

Although he had never been to the East Palace, he had followed Zang Tu to the Changle Palace to meet Liu Bang, so his suspicion now was that there seemed to be more armored soldiers patrolling outside the East Palace than in the Changle Palace back then. Ten steps and one whistle.

After a while, the concubine Han Tan hurried out, and Zang Yan quietly pointed to the surroundings and asked, "Why are you so heavily guarded?"

Han Tan smiled: "King Zhao has been attacked many times, so we naturally have to strengthen our defenses. It's okay, it has nothing to do with you and me."

After he finished speaking, he bowed down in front of Zang Yan.

This is not kneeling Zang Yan, but kneeling Zang Tu.

In the era when the knight-errant culture prevailed, people emphasized that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Zang Tu once had a great kindness from Han Tan, so he naturally deserved this great gift.

However, Zang Yan didn't dare to make too much of a big deal. After Han Tan got up, he knelt down in front of Han Tan, kowtowed again and again, and returned the big gift with big gifts.

This set seems cumbersome, but it is the portrayal of the state of etiquette.

After waiting for a while, Han Tan asked in a low voice: "My son came here today, but I need to find His Highness for something? That's really unfortunate. His Highness didn't return to the East Palace yesterday, but went to the other garden in Nanshan..."

Zang Yan shook his head with some embarrassment: "I have met His Highness yesterday, and today I am visiting the East Palace to see the concubine."

Han Tan asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

Zang Yan looked at the soldiers patrolling around, and said in a low voice, "May I take a step to speak?"

Han Tan nodded lightly: "In that case, please follow me."

After all, he is the concubine of the Eastern Palace, so naturally, there is his office in the Eastern Palace.

Just a moment later, when he looked at the ten large boxes full of gold and silver treasures placed in front of him, Han Tan felt a little sullen, and at the same time looked at Zang Yan, who was full of embarrassment.

Well, the sullenness in his heart was that he had seen one of the artifacts in the box.

It was a treasure in the Xianyang Palace of the former Qin Dynasty. It was a Chu State-style ornament that was looted by the former Qin general Wu Anjun Baiqi when he attacked the old capital of Chu State.

The gold-plated Suzaku spreads its wings and raises its tail, holding a crystal-clear suet jade ring in its beak, stepping on a tiger with both feet, and a total of twelve priceless turquoises are inlaid on the neck, abdomen and the lamp supported by its wings.

Needless to say, this treasure must have been a loot obtained by Zang Tu from the treasure house of Xianyang Palace when Xiang Yu led his crowd to plunder Guanzhong and burn Xianyang!
Zang Yan was unaware of what Han Tan was thinking, and just said flatteringly, "It's a small thing, it's not a respect."

Han Tan frowned and said righteously: "As the saying goes, if you don't get rewarded for your merits, your heir should take it back. Besides, I am an eunuch and have no children. I live in this East Palace on weekdays, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I don't need these dumb things..."

Well, the word Aduwu was found in a book called "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" when he was sorting out Liu Ying's study.

Zang Yan complained to his old mother in his heart, and said bravely, "It's really not good to ask for something, so it's not good to come empty-handed..."

Han Tan was amused by Zang Yan's bluntness, and his anger subsided a little.

After all, he was just an eunuch in the Qin Palace, and the treasures in the palace treasury belonged to the Qin Emperor's family and had nothing to do with him.

Besides, Xiang Yu is Xiang Yu, Zang Tu is Zang Tu, and Zang Yan is Zang Yan. There are still differences.

So Han Tan asked with a smile: "What is your heir asking for, that you need to spend so much money? In my opinion, if you take out any of the treasures in this box and sell them off, it will be enough for a medium-sized family in Chang'an City to eat and drink for a lifetime." Not finished!"

Zang Yan continued to bite the bullet and said:

"There is a little girl in my family who used to have an affair with His Highness, and has long admired His Highness in my heart... Now that my father has passed away, if we wait until the filial piety is over before we talk about marriage, I am afraid that I will really become an old girl who cannot marry..."

"That's why my mother suggested that I want to let the little girl enter the East Palace to be the son of the family before the filial piety is over..."

"The little girl is outside the door now. The concubine has been with His Highness for many years, and he knows His Highness's hobbies very well. If the little girl can get into the eyes of the concubine, she can also be loved by the prince... If the concubine thinks it's wrong, she can completely kill her." Heart, let her wait until the end of the filial piety period, and then get married."

Han Tan was silent for a while, nodded and said, "In that case, please invite Miss Zang's family to come in and let me, an old eunuch, take a look..."

He purposely pointed out that he is an eunuch, just to keep the truth and avoid gossip and bad words from hurting the reputation of the Zang family.

After all, the folk customs of the Han Dynasty were opened again, and it was not easy for rich and noble women who did not go out to meet foreigners at will.

After a while, a timid young girl walked into the door. She was wearing a loose filial piety dress, her temple hair hung down on her classic and delicate melon-seeded face, and she had a tall Qiong nose. At first glance, she had the three-dimensional effect of an exotic beauty.

Han Tan was stunned for a moment, the girl in front of her was not as good as the prince and child Xu Negative in terms of beauty, and was not as good as Dou Yifang who grew up next to the queen in terms of generosity and dignity, but she was born at the youngest and most beautiful age of her age, so the mixture made people You can't take your eyes off the charm.

At this moment, Han Tan thought a little bit, if only he wasn't an eunuch...

But he immediately felt relieved, nodded and said: "The lady of the Zang family is so beautiful that even I, an old eunuch, can't help but fall in love with her. I think she will definitely be loved by His Highness! But..."

Hearing only two words, Zang Yan thumped in his heart, guessing that the gift was too light, and secretly annoyed that he should listen to his mother and bring twenty more boxes of rare and antiques!

It's just that Han Tan's next words made him feel relieved.

"Now the crown prince is busy preparing the young master's hundred-day banquet, so I'm afraid he won't have time to attend to him. Therefore, if the heir trusts me, let the noble lady stay in the East Palace. After the hundred-day banquet is over, I will definitely do my best to make it happen!"
