I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 181 Zhang Cang's Letter
Chen Luo stepped into Miyagi.

A servant appears ahead to guide you.

Palace guards are lined up neatly beside the road, with long swords hanging from their waists, dignified and solemn.Every fifty steps, there is still a visitor standing there. From time to time, they call out "Small steps and fast walking" to remind the officials walking on the road to pay attention to etiquette.

Wherever Chen Luo looked, the noisy chaos in the past was gone.

This time point is the peak of the morning, but the road is not crowded.

The officials deliberately separated a certain distance and walked quietly and quietly, preventing the possibility of talking with each other.

When he came to the front of the hall, there were already more than a hundred officials standing respectfully on the steps. These were officials like Lang Zhong, who were not high enough to enter the hall.

"Doctor Chen, I wish you good morning."

When Chen Luo went up more than ten steps, a greeting came from the side.

He turned his head, recognized the other party, nodded and said: "Su Yushi, good morning."

As the imperial censor himself, even if he has nothing to do, he can sit in the palace.

Except for him, in the entire censor system, only Yushi Zhongcheng is eligible to enter the palace. Other ordinary censors can only stand on the steps outside the palace and only enter the palace if they have something to do.

He is quite satisfied with the thirty censors under him now.

Civil officials in the Han Dynasty were not like later generations, they only had lip service.

Chen Luo can only guarantee that he is the most capable fighter in the Yushi system, but if he is asked to fight two or three, he may not be able to win completely.

Along the way, he passed several censors, and after greeting them, Chen Luo entered the hall.

The order of the position of the upper court is particular.

After all, differences of opinion do not conspire with each other, military generals mixed into the ranks of civil servants on the east side will be reviled at most, and civil servants mixed into the ranks of military generals on the west side, if there is a quarrel over something, I am afraid it will be "five steps of blood spattering".

Walking to the east of the main hall, Chen Luo sat down behind Xiao He.

"Old Xiao Chen'an, do you have any important events to play today?" Seeing that Liu Bang hadn't come yet, Chen Luo lowered his voice and planned to chat for a while. During the six months of working together, he and Liu Bang got to know each other quite well.

There is a rule not to make noise in the hall.

It's just that these rules want to trap those who make the rules, it is absolutely impossible.

Noise, what noise?
We are worried about state affairs, and we dare not forget them all the time.

Xiao He didn't turn around, and replied softly: "Don't I have to go through the memorials to His Majesty with Dr. Chen, if something really happened, you would know it later than me."

He was right.

The daily memorials that the imperial censor deals with are the line "emperor-the imperial censor-the prime minister-the princes and kings". Normally, Xiao He's memorials must pass through him.

But if you want to bypass it specifically, there is no way.

After all, there is another line in the censor system that only depends on itself, but in fact there is not much power intersection, that is, "emperor-censor Zhongcheng-junshou".

Of course, unless he and Chen Luo planned to tear each other apart, it was impossible for him to send a memorial to Liu Bang through this line.

Chen Luole smiled happily and said, "I'm just asking, in case Prime Minister Xiao learned some urgent information last night, and he didn't have time to present it, he plans to speak directly in the court today."

"That's nothing." Xiao He shook his head lightly. "Now that the great man is in peace, there is only good news. There is no urgent information. It needs to be announced directly to His Majesty in the morning."

"Natural is best." Chen Luo nodded lightly, "By the way, it was time for the autumn harvest a few days ago. How are the harvests in various places?"

The world has stabilized for more than half a year, and all places are indeed safe and sound.

During the more than ten years of the Qin Dynasty, the corvee was not light, so that Zhuxia had not fully recovered from the 500 years of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, another wave of wars caused the current population of Kyushu to be far from approaching the land limit.

When the conflict between people and land is not obvious, all kinds of internal conflicts have almost disappeared, and the main direction of progress is concentrated on development, and it is still too early to deal with the distribution problem.

Recalling it, Xiao He said lightly: "The Jingzhao area that is relatively close, the Ba and Shu areas, Hanoi County, and Henan County all have good harvests. If this is the case next year, probably the granary can be piled up. Food is gone.

However, the five counties including Runan County, Nanyang County, and Pei County had mediocre harvests. Only with His Majesty reducing taxes, the local people could support themselves.

As for the four countries of Yan, Chu, Qi, and Changsha that are farther away, they have not yet reported the harvest situation this year, but they just think it should not be too bad. "

Even though he could only see Xiao He's back, Chen Luo could still feel the smile on his face when he said this.

Thanks to their joint efforts, the big man is thriving day by day, and the people of the world can live in peace. This is indeed something that gives me a sense of accomplishment.

There will always be people who fight for power and profit in the court, and there will always be people who serve the country and the people.

It's just that as the times change, the proportion of these two types of people will change.

However, the number of the latter far exceeds the former in the court hall of the great man.

"By the way, Zhang Jixiang seems to have something important to say today, about..." When Xiao He said this, his voice was covered by the ceremony officer standing in the hall.

At this time, the nine officials shouted from top to bottom: "Your Majesty is here, and all the officials welcome you."

When officials at all levels heard the words, they immediately reacted.

They stood up one by one according to the etiquette, and saluted Liu Bang who entered the palace on the "Dragon Chariot".

They continued to sit down slowly after Liu Bang sat in the top position.

Seeing the official start of the morning court, Chen Luo couldn't continue talking to Xiao He.

As for what Xiao He said just now, he thought silently in his heart.

Zhang Jixiang in the current court refers to Zhang Cang, because he is proficient in calculations, and serves as the financial management of the big man.

According to Prime Minister Xiao, Zhang Jixiang had something important to say.

Could it be that something happened to Zhang Cang's job?
Chen Luo frowned slightly.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that there is a problem with Dahan's finances?
However, in order to restore national strength, Liu Bang basically did not use people's power. Even the Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were slowly being repaired, and they were not in a hurry to complete the work. After half a year, they only had an outline. As for the palace and the like, Liu Bang didn't think about it at all.

In the absence of large-scale construction projects, foreign wars, and natural and man-made disasters, there will still be financial problems. Chen Luo absolutely does not believe it.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Cang is an all-rounder, proficient in calculation, rhythm and calendar, not even limited to Confucianism, but also dabbled in various miscellaneous studies.

Therefore, the "important things" that he will make a statement later may not necessarily be about his essential work.

Thinking about the time for a cup of tea, Chen Luo had a rough guess in his heart.

So he sat up straight and thought about the relevant aspects in his mind.
