Sweep the World

There is no absolute fairness in the world. It is even more so when treating one's own children for a parent.

Even if it is not a royal family, as long as the family of ordinary people has two or more children, although parents firmly believe that they treat both children with the same affection, in fact it is just an illusion of being a parent, and it can even be said that it is the parent's. Self-deception, they actually prefer a certain child relatively.

Liu Yan is destined to focus more on the heirs of the empire, but whenever he shows more love for a prince other than Liu Shen, it will surely cause a series of follow-ups.

My own son is liked by the emperor, and the biological mother will more or less think about whether the son has a chance to compete for the only throne with the love of the emperor. It may be difficult for her to do anything else, and the best way is to constantly set the stage for her son's competitors.

If the prince is liked by the emperor, the courtiers will have an idea of ​​standing in line. They will gather under the prince to challenge the empire's successor in name.

As a result, countless disputes have naturally arisen, and the harem continues to intrigue, and there will be obvious factions in the DPRK.

In this way, the harem continues to have troubles, and North Korea is also constantly harassing moths. No matter how powerful the emperor is, it will inevitably be involved in energy. The unstable situation will inevitably reduce the country's desire to expand abroad.

Liu Yan is very satisfied with the current situation of the harem. At the same time, even though he knows that the DPRK has split into factions long ago, he extremely does not want to see a certain minister and worker engage in a battle in the name of his son.

The last time Sang Yu only showed some signs, Liu Yan noticed that he immediately issued a warning and forced Sang Yu to express his willingness to be Liu Shen's master.

Liu Yan naturally didn't let Sang Yu become Liu Shen's master. The status can restrict Sang Yu, but the status can also make it more convenient for Sang Yu when he wants to do something.

Sang Yu had stopped since he was warned that time, and even the number of times he went to see his sister in the palace had fallen off a cliff. He is all like this, and the rest of the people who originally had some thoughts can see that it is better to be honest and loyal to today, and don't think about other messy things.

In fact, Liu Yan is only in his thirties. He can still sit in the position of Emperor Xiaowu for at least twenty years, even like Emperor Xiaowu of Han for more than fifty years. Even if the big guy wants to stand in line It's too early.

"Your Majesty is out of the palace?" Ji Chang was not on duty today. Someone came to report when he was reading at home. After thinking about it, he said, "Get off the carriage, and I will go there too."

It was not that Ji Chang specially sent people to stare at each palace gate, but there was a square around Miyagi. Liu Yan's movements were so big that people outside the house would inform the owner of the news no matter what the purpose was.

The news of Liu Yan's leaving the palace spread. People who thought they were qualified were not on duty. After thinking about it, they all did the same thing as Ji Chang.

Such a scene appeared in the east of the city. At least one carriage was brought to the door of each mansion. The heads of the family walked out of the house in regular clothes, or walked alone, or brought their precious nephews with them. , The wheel of the car ran on the concrete path straight to the Temple of Heaven Square.

The current permanent population of Chang'an has reached 1.4 million. This number does not include slaves and various construction workers. In addition to various high-ranking officials, they are civilians with or without titles.

If you count the slaves, the population of Chang'an will increase by at least 600,000.

It does not mean that there are too many slaves in the homes of high-ranking officials. On the contrary, even if there are a lot of slaves, the high-ranking officials will not be placed in Chang'an, but will choose to place them in their own fief as labor.

There can be about 600,000 slaves, and every household has at least one slave. The citizens living in Chang'an, as long as they are adult males, the vast majority are also title holders. Because their title is not high enough to obtain a fief, the slaves naturally work at home.

Although the various projects in Chang'an are generally completed, there are not a few projects that have not been finished. The slave construction group under Shaofu is carrying out various finishing projects, and there are more than forty official slaves still working. ten thousand.

Counting various identities, Chang'an has a population of nearly 2.5 million, which has surpassed Jiankang, the largest city in the south, but lost to Jiankang in terms of its prosperity.

As an imperial capital, Chang'an lost to Jiankang in its prosperity because Jiankang was a commercial city.

The second most prosperous city in the Han Empire was still not Chang'an, but Linzi in the eastern part of the empire.

The prosperity of the dignified imperial capital is only ranked third in the country? If it is for other emperors, it is naturally unacceptable, but it is possible for Liu Yan.

In Liu Yan's view, the capital of a country does not necessarily have to be the most prosperous place. Just as the capital, it is destined to become a political city.

"Your Majesty, all dynasties are strong and weak." Xie An was wearing normal clothes and even carried a package that didn't know what it was in. It was a coincidence that he met Liu Yan and his group, and he didn't deliberately pretend to meet: "It is because the local government is not allowed to be stronger than the central government."

Xie An is right. In any of the above dynasties, until the dynasty is ended, no ruler will allow the local government to be stronger than the central government.

"Oh? An Shi is in favor of Zishen's performance?" Liu Yan didn't want to wonder if Xie An deliberately encountered himself. He saw Xie An taking his three-year-old son shopping on the street, and thought about it and wanted to invite a piece to go. Temple of Heaven Square: "Migrating local wealthy households to Beijing?"

Xie An did not hesitate to say: "Migrating wealthy households to enrich the Central Committee, the ancients have concluded that it is good governance."

Very early and very early, it can be traced as far as the Shang Dynasty, and the rulers moved the wealthy local households under their noses.

The most agile thing was the Western Han Dynasty. From Liu Bang to Liu Tang, every emperor moved local wealthy households to the central government every few years. The name they use is to enrich the "mausoleum", and the "mausoleum" is of course the sleeping mausoleum, which is the place of burial after death.

Of course, the wealthy migrants are not brought here for funerals, but they are actually placed near the tomb where the tomb is being built, gathering people to become one of the sub-city of Chang'an.

The Eastern Han Dynasty did not move local wealthy households to the central government. The result was extremely obvious. The local tycoons were everywhere, and the emperors often became puppets, and it was difficult for a strong emperor to emerge.

Liu Yan looked at the neat streets, and then at the passers-by walking on the streets.

If you want to observe a country, the most direct thing is not to look at the military, let alone the most prosperous city. In fact, you go to every place to look at the living standards of the people in this country.

Normally, citizens living in the capital of a country also have great reference value.

Although Liu Yan doesn't go out of Miyagi often, every time he comes out, he will definitely see the citizens with his own eyes to see if their faces are ruddy, and then look at the clothes they wear.

In snowy weather, there are not many citizens who go out for wandering, even if they go out and walk on the streets, they will be in a hurry.

When Liu Yan saw it with his own eyes, every citizen he saw was blushing, but he didn't feel so proud. The weather was cold and the wind was blowing, unless it was cold to the blue, or anyone's face Don't you feel red?

It can only be observed from clothing. In the cold winter weather, you must keep warm when you want to go out. One of the citizens is basically a layer of clothing. It is not a fur coat or a thick woolen coat. .

Originally, Liu Yan wanted to go directly to the Temple of Heaven Square. After getting out of the car and walking halfway, he changed his mind and decided to go to the market in the south of the city.

Since it is a temporary change of location, it is definitely not a decision to leave immediately. It is still necessary to give the relevant defense personnel time to make arrangements.

"Jiankang has access to water." Liu Yan also thought about relocating wealthy households from all over the world to the central government, but many times he gave up when he was about to order: "It is convenient to sell goods outside of the countries."

Jiankang is connected to the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River has an outlet to the sea. In such an era when there is no air transportation, the cost of land transportation is too large, and water transportation is the best way to save transportation costs.

The same product will inevitably increase in price due to the cost of transportation, and the purchase of the product must be hoped for a lower price. It is because of the convenience of water transportation that Jiankang gathers merchants from all over the world and attracts buyers.

The merchants who gathered, slowly opened their workshops around Jiankang, forming a natural cycle, and Jiankang became the most economically prosperous city in the Han Empire.

The situation in Linzi is no different from Jiankang. There is also a river on the edge of the city, and that river directly has an outlet to the sea. Relying on the convenience of water transportation, it became the second most prosperous city in the Han Empire.

Xie An knew that the Central Committee had disputes about whether Jiankang and Linzi should continue to prosper. More than half believed that Chang'an should be the most prosperous place in the entire empire.

They are based on the good starting point for the country. Everyone writes at least once. The content may be different, and the opinions are surprisingly consistent.

The only place where Liu Yan has doubts is that once the wealthy households in Jiankang and Linzi are forced to relocate, or if the relocation is completed in a short period of time, the national economy will definitely suffer near-destructive turmoil.

Wealthy households are moved away, they will not choose to keep their fixed assets, but will panic sell them. So the question is, the person who has the money to buy must also be on the migration list. Who will accept that people and property are thousands of miles away?

National acquisition is one of the methods, but it will be unprecedentedly ugly. Who will do business in the future?

The result is bound to be that a large number of industries have been directly abandoned, workshops and factories have closed down or closed down, and exaggerated tides of unemployment will occur.

"This..." Xie An showed a surprised expression when he heard Liu Yan's statement, as if he hadn't thought about it: "Your Majesty has considered foresight, but the minister has not been able to make it."

Liu Yancai didn't believe that Xie An had not thought about it, just because of his background and identity, he didn't dare to say anything about it.

These high-ranking and high-ranking officials at the same time, regardless of their previous family background, their status has changed now, and it is impossible to live on their salary alone.

People from the north, even if they don't think they want to invest in Linzi, they will get advice after they have absorbed their retainers. Their identities make it impossible for them to be completely absent. They don't want to engage in corruption and cause them to be escorted to the Caishikou one day. It is an inevitable thing to involve business.

People born in the South have a lot more background than those born in the North. Many of them have huge family properties. The land is reclaimed for a fee, but some of the shops and workshops that were originally there are still under the name.

They have more or less capital in their hands. Everyone can tell that Liu Yan is very supportive of the development of business. He was the first to participate. After participating, he has not been warned, or even made money from legal business. Will it be repelled?

Once wealthy households everywhere are forced to relocate to Guanzhong, the only ones who can benefit are those who have enough capital to own huge assets thousands of miles away, but do not worry about being occupied.

As a result, Liu Yan often had to think more about it. How many of the ministers and workers who suggested relocating wealthy households wanted to make a big profit?

When I came to Chengnan Market, I stood on the periphery and looked inward, and I could see a fog in the air.

Of course, it was not really foggy. There were too many people gathering. At the same time, there were many shops in the market where things were cooked. Too much heat made the air appear a kind of mist.

"Your Majesty..." Cui Zong asked cautiously: "The princes and princes are too young, and the market is chaotic. Are you waiting outside?"

In fact, the market in the south of Chang'an City is still relatively standardized, but as a market, it is impossible to be really clean. At most, there is no random occupying of stalls, which makes people unable to walk even if they want to walk. The place should be dirty. It will still be dirty, and the air will definitely not be fresh. On the contrary, too many smells are combined to form the turbid air that is unique to the market.

That is, if Liu Yan has a map in his mind to distinguish the enemy from us, he will go shopping with a bunch of heirs. There will be no assassinations, but the air is muddy. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com again seems to be crowded, and children are indeed not suitable for entering.

"Your Majesty." Xie An persuaded: "Your Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, the whole land is on your body. The chaos inside is so chaotic that your Majesty cannot enter."

In fact, it is possible to imagine that some other people have fallen into a state of high tension, that is, those responsible for protecting the royal family.

If you identify it carefully, there have been too many people here in a short period of time who look aggressive, but they have to carry out various disguise, making some ordinary people who are aware of it become curious.

Liu Yan took a dozen children with them, and the children were accompanied by female officials. The group of people was very conspicuous no matter how they looked, and they were quickly watched by the people next to him.

"That's it." Liu Yan was not a stubborn person. He told Cui Zong the names of some commodities and ordered: "Go in and buy."

Cui Zong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Liu Yan didn't go in, everything was easy to say.

The commodities Liu Yan said are available to ordinary people. It is necessary for him to understand some market prices to judge the living conditions of Chang'an citizens.
