Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 31 31. In the name of "filial piety" (ask for tickets and follow-up)
Fast forward to August.

After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he publicly promulgated a decree to the whole country, that is, every August, princes and princes from all over the country will go to Chang'an, the capital city, to worship Emperor Gaozu in the Gaozu Temple.

At the same time, all princes, kings and princes also brought gold to offer sacrifices to express their respect.In Jiuzhen, Jiaozhi, Nichinan and other places in the south, there are eaters who use rhinoceros horn, tortoiseshell, ivory, and emerald instead of gold.

Of course, in return, the imperial court would prepare good wine for those who came to worship, calling it "酎", and gold was required as a gift during worship, so this system was called the "酎金 System" by the imperial court.

The gold system is a high expression of the ritual system of "governing the world with filial piety" in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also a means for the court to increase the revenue of the treasury.

The emperor used the name of "filial piety" to collect the property of the princes and princes, and he really killed two birds with one stone.

Since it is a donation to Emperor Gaozu, the fineness of gold cannot be low.After all, princes, kings and princes are all nobles, their status and wealth are very prominent, who would dare to fool their ancestors with bad money?
Therefore, when the princes offered gold, the emperor came to receive the gold in person.If the amount or fineness of the donated gold is insufficient, Wang will cut down the county and Hou Mianguo.

"Grandmother, my mother's feet can be lifted above her head!" Ping'er acted like a baby to Empress Dou, while imitating Wang Zhi to lift her short legs.

Shuang'er on the side was just teething, with saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, being hugged by his nurse, watching his mother stretching and practicing, and his sister imitating it, giggling.

"Okay, grandma understands. Your mother has done it, can Ping'er do it?" Empress Dou responded kindly.

"I can do it by learning!" Ping'er said unwillingly.

Prince Liu Qi came in and greeted Empress Dou first, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Ping'er's good-looking mother-in-law.

"Does Ping'er want to be like your mother? Don't hurt your calf!" Liu Qi said, and went to hug Ping'er, but Ping'er broke away.

"Father, I want to learn! I have to teach my younger sister!" Ping'er still seriously imitated his mother.

"Your Highness, look at the three of us! Big, small, and small!" Wang Yan said, La Ping'er and Shuang'er stood in a row, and Ping'er moved in unison, raising his legs, slanting his waist, tilting his head, and laughing!

Matryoshka trio!Except for Shuang'er being hugged by the wet nurse and playing with her hands and feet, Wang Zhi and Ping'er cooperated tacitly, which made Liu Qi laugh out loud.

Empress Dou laughed happily when she heard the excitement.

"Qi'er, how are your preparations for this year's Jinjin Ceremony?" Queen Dou asked her son.

"Many princes have offered sacrifices." Liu Qi replied.

"Then Wu Wang Liu Bi, should you send an envoy to sacrifice?" Empress Dou frowned, "This confidant is seriously troubled! After so many years, there is still nothing to do with him!"

Liu Qi was silent for a while, and said gloomily, "Emperor Gao Zu predicted that there would be rebels in the southeast 50 years later. Old Liu Bi has been recruiting soldiers, and everyone knows his intention to rebel!"

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was the son of Liu Zhong, the second brother of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Because of his meritorious service in pacifying Yingbu, he was named King of Wu by Gaozu.

Liu Bi's feudal state was in the remote southeast, which was a wild area at that time.Wu Guoling has "three counties, 53 cities", with Guangling (ie Yangzhou) as its capital, including Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County, almost covering the main territory of East China.

Liu Bi was not only brave and good at fighting, but also very economical. He ruled the state of Wu and managed a barren land to be prosperous and strong.

Although the land of Wu is desolate and wild, it has rich natural resources. "You get money by frying ore, and you get salt by boiling water."Liu Bi took local materials, mined mines to make money, and boiled seawater into salt, making Wu rich.

The largest copper mountain in Wudi is in Yuzhang County.Liu Bi opened mountains here to mine, smelt copper and mint coins, making it a famous coin minting place in ancient my country.

Taking advantage of the rich local mineral deposits, Liu Bi took advantage of the legal policy of private minting coins to create a large amount of money, and the treasury had sufficient reserves.Furthermore, copper was the raw material for the production of tools and weapons at that time. A large amount of copper was mined from domestic resources to prosper agriculture and strengthen military equipment. Wu quickly became rich and powerful, posing a huge threat to the imperial power.

Liu Bi, king of Wu, was the first to develop salt production in Yangzhou.In order to facilitate transportation, Liu Bi excavated the Shangguanyun Salt River.

This is an artificial canal dug from Yangzhou to the eastern coastal areas of the Jianghuai River——Shangguan Yunyan River, which is the predecessor of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The Shangguanyun Salt River leads to Yangtai in the west and reaches the seashore in the east, connecting the eastern Jianghuai River and the Jianghai Plain, and is a cross-regional water channel.Starting from Yangzhou, it connects Jiangdu, Taizhou, Jiangyan, Hai'an, Rugao and Nantong from west to east.

The coastal plains of the state of Wu produced a large amount of salt. Liu Bi, with his economic sensitivity, saw that the operation of salt could make huge profits.Since the emperors in the early Han Dynasty were busy with pacifying the world, they had not yet seen the huge profit margins of the salt industry, so they were allowed to cook salt without paying taxes.Liu Bi took the opportunity to use local materials to develop the salt industry in large quantities.

Le Meng once visited Yangzhou.I remember that there is a temple for the God of Wealth, named Erwang Temple, but the temple is dedicated to neither the God of Wealth, Marshal Zhao Gong, nor Guan Gong and Guan Yunchang, but two Wu kings in Yangzhou history - Fucha and Liu Bi.

The couplet on the door is even more strange: "There are no two kings in one hall, but there are few in the world due to the north of the temple gate".

After Liu Bi became rich, not only did he not collect taxes from the common people, on the contrary, young and middle-aged men served as soldiers, and they were also given subsidies based on market labor prices.

Therefore, the people all supported Liu Bi, and Wu's rule was quite stable.

In addition, Liu Bi recruited talents on a regular basis, rewarded the people, and accepted fugitives from other vassal states and counties for shelter, and Liu Bi, king of Wu, became even more famous.

Wu Wang Liu Bi has been doing this for many years, and Wu has become an independent and powerful country in the southeast.

The traditional values ​​are winners and losers, but ordinary people don't judge people by snobbery. They have a steelyard in their hearts—only judging right and wrong by merit and demerit, not judging heroes by victory or defeat.

How many victors in history, although respected as kings, were obliterated by the long river of history.But there are also some losers who used the power in their hands to achieve great achievements that will last forever, and are remembered by history.

Fu Chai and Liu Bi made such great historical contributions to the development of transportation and economic prosperity in ancient Yangzhou. The local people are grateful to these two people who first developed Yangzhou.

Since the Han Dynasty, the people have built Erwang Temples to worship and worship them from generation to generation.

But the road to imperial power has always been paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.Emperors, generals and ministers are all involuntary.Cruel, but can't tolerate a ray of warmth...

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi sighed.

"Your Highness, if the amount or fineness of the gold donated is not enough, the king will destroy the county, and the Hou will be exempted from the country. Why not use this excuse to remove the king of Wu, Liu Bi, from the country?" Wang Zhi reminded.

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Liu Qi stood up abruptly, and he clapped his hands, "Yes! Why didn't Gu and father think of this method?"
