I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 209 Both rain and dew are touched

"What a great victory in Liangzhou!" Liu Bian was unabashedly happy.

Such a lightning-fast victory was a real good start for Liu Bian's Guangxi Year.

The major affairs of the country are only sacrifice and military affairs.

The country once again suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou. It is enough to declare to the world that the Han Dynasty has not collapsed.

"Han Sui has lost power, and it is difficult for the remaining rebels to achieve great things."

"With this victory, Liangzhou can slowly be governed!"

Although the army still needs to be left to guard, although Han Sui still occupies the city... the offensive and defensive momentum is different.

Continue to focus on pacification and extermination as a supplement, promote the policy of household registration and farming, and ensure the integrity of long-term officials...

Based on the various good and bad traces left by his predecessors on the land of Liangzhou, Liu Bian believed that it was only a matter of time before Liangzhou's great rule was achieved.

This victory and the great victory of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Qingzhou some time ago were enough to scare Xiao Xiao who was hiding in the dark.

Accompanied by Dong Heng, Liu Bian reviewed the less urgent official memorial documents that had been screened by the Chancellery, one of which was Cheng Yu's memorial.

She knew that Emperor Xian had abandoned the government and that Liu Bian was so busy now. A large part of the reason was cleaning up the mess left by the old Liu family.

……

Compared to Cai Yan and Tang Wan, Dong Heng, who is even a few months younger than Liu Bian, has always been labeled "young" in Liu Bian's eyes.

"Have you missed five days off as scheduled during this period? Mom just hasn't been watching you for a while, and she's exhausted herself like this."

"The emperor is happy. You still have to eat. Mom looks at you and you seem to have lost weight."

All she could do was to prevent her son from worrying about forbidden things.

He can even just glance at it without giving any approval.

The above is a report on the farming affairs that he was responsible for. This kind of memorial does not require Liu Bian to work hard, he only needs to know it well.

"I heard about the happy news coming from Liangzhou, and I would like to congratulate your majesty!" Dong Heng, a nobleman of Dong Dynasty, bowed to Liu Bian Yingying.

Liu Bian was not surprised that Dong Heng, who stayed with Empress Dowager Dong all day long, knew the news from the outside. The Han Dynasty did not have an ancestral system that prohibited the harem from intervening in politics.

"Ah? That's what the Queen Mother said."

Then don't blame him...

It wasn't just the rain and dew that caused Empress Dowager Dong not to think too much about it. Liu Bian believed that he was a man of great love, and Dong Heng became his noble person, which was his wings, and he naturally had to cherish them.

At Dong Heng's age, he can only develop it slowly.

Liu Bian chuckled and said: "All kinds of things were gathered together a while ago. If you don't keep a close eye on me, I'm afraid someone will not be able to help but touch you... I will be able to rest more in the future."

Dong Heng was favored by Empress Dowager Dong and selected into the palace, so his appearance was of the highest quality. But compared to Bai Youshou's aesthetics, Liu Bian prefers the older sister.

After spending the night at Cai Yan and Tang Wan's place, he didn't want to come to Dong Heng's place.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Queen Mother He did not delve further into this topic.

Dong Heng is the eldest daughter of Dong Cheng, and she also has a younger sister in the family. Liu Bian is not sure whether she is the Dong nobleman in history, but it does not matter.

When the army returns to Luoyang in the future, the soldiers will look at him in all directions. Who dares to look at him again and make irresponsible remarks to him?

However, Liu Bian still issued a reply and asked Cheng Yu to go to Sanfu to immigrate and think about what the people thought.

Liu Bian believes that Cheng Yu is credible in this regard, not only because there have been previous memorials impeaching Cheng Yu for harassing the people in Nanyang, but also because the current three assistants are not short of food.

Most of the memorials he wanted to read that night were of this kind. As Liu Bian said to Queen Mother He, the busiest period in the first year of Guangxi's reign has passed.

The Sanfu farmland immigration policy that had been planned since the beginning of the year and the war against Liang that began in the middle of the year had already drained the national treasury.

Most of the rice and corn that will be stored in storage in September have their destinations.

The war against Liangzhou will continue. If Liu Bei had not obtained money for Liu Bian in Qingzhou, the national treasury would be even more stretched.

Counties and states have begun to urge counties and villages to start counting the population and acres under their rule according to past practices.

Except for a few counties where natural and man-made disasters occurred, the increase or decrease in these two data will determine the performance of the prefect and prime minister this year.

The above plan is the last big event of the year.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bian could only plan the major events for next year. As for now, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

The first rain in autumn heralds the departure of summer.

Between the autumn rain and the cold, the Han Dynasty is already preparing for the coming year from top to bottom.

When Liu Bian finished reviewing the documents, he saw Dong Heng but stopped talking.

He had some guesses in his mind and said with a smile: "Just say what you want to say, I don't know how to eat people."

Dong Heng hesitated and whispered softly: "I...my father did something wrong a few days ago and listened to the words of sinners. The Empress Dowager already scolded him when she found out."

"Oh, it turns out that this is what happened. I almost forgot about it... What does this mean? He just relayed what he heard to me. How could I blame him!"

Liu Bian took Dong Heng's hand and comforted him: "Ah Heng, you have to think about it this way. If I blame someone who tells the truth to me, will anyone dare to tell the truth to me in the future?"

Dong Heng's eyes lit up, with a bit of excitement in his expression: "Really? Then I'll be relieved."

Liu Bian nodded, it was time to go to bed.

……

Cao Song's residence in the capital has not been so lively for a long time.

As news of the bamboo paper monopoly spread, guests came and went in an endless stream, and the carriage even blocked the alley for a time.

Cao Song received the gift so hard that he didn't even close his mouth.

Of course he knew why these people were visiting him.

Cao Song always thought that he was very talented in making money and was a genius. Especially the decision to buy a San Gong was a stroke of genius.

After taking over the important task of selling the art of making bamboo and paper from the emperor, he has been thinking hard. Finally I got inspiration from salt and iron.

Salt iron was once a national monopoly, but now it has been placed in the county under the management of salt iron. Cao Song felt that bamboo paper could also be sold exclusively. Taking into account the rarity of things, he did not hesitate to change the county's monopoly to a state's monopoly.

"My dear nephew, I understand some things. If my nephew doesn't understand, I can't teach him privately. I can't help him if he doesn't understand..."

While talking, Cao Song sent Yuan Ji out. He did not answer Yuan Ji's inquiry about the bamboo paper monopoly in Yuzhou at all.

Friendship? Useless! If you all know the minimum amount, how can you add more money?

It is not only the rich families like the Yuan family in Runan who are interested in bamboo paper, but Cao Song is also more interested in these people, except because these people dare to add money...

Cao Song recalled the gift list he had received before. Mi Zhu was from Donghai in Xuzhou, Zhen Yan was from Zhongshan in Jizhou, and Weizi was from Chenliu in Yanzhou.

In addition to the generous and generous gifts given by these three people, they also have another characteristic. Although their family has no obvious official career, they are good at business management. They have rich family assets and are rich.
