The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

The crown prince went to the Liu mansion in a carriage. Everyone in the Liu manor was taken aback. From the master to the servants, although they were not trembling, they were still nervous, especially Liu Jin, the servant of the prince. He is just a fourth-rank servant, with Shang Shu as his immediate boss, far from reaching the level of the prince's confidant.

He guessed in his heart whether the prince's visit was a blessing or a curse, he didn't dare to be negligent, he hurriedly led his family all the way to the gate, bowed his hands and bowed down.

At this time, the middle door of Liu's mansion was wide open. Although the prince was in a very bad mood, he didn't show any signs of expression. He smiled and chatted with everyone in the Liu family before he got to the point: "I have some matters to discuss with Liu Shilang. Can I go to the secluded place?" discuss in detail."

Liu Jin was able to reach the step of being a servant. Although he is not a human being, he is very good at observing words and expressions. Hearing the dignified tone of the prince, coupled with the suppressed expression, he couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and smiled reluctantly: "My minister has a study room view. Very good, condescending, surrounded by low flowers, it is very convenient to speak, please, Your Highness."

With the prince's words, the members of the Liu family consciously did not want to disturb them, and they all bowed to leave. Without others around, the prince no longer suppressed his anger, and followed Liu Jin with a calm face, quite angrily entering the room. study.

Liu Jin was already a little flustered, but now seeing the prince's expression, she felt a little panicked, and said with a pale face: "Why is your highness so angry, but what happened in the court, or is there something wrong with this humble minister?" place, offended His Highness?"

It's okay if Liu Jin didn't say anything, but when the prince mentioned it, his face became even more ugly, his eyes fixed on him, and he scolded: "Well, Liu Jin, I used to think that you were a capable minister, but I didn't want to be able to restrain the children of my own clan. You actually handed over the handle to King Shun in vain, and he ransacked your Liu family's partial branch, and you are still kept in the dark, how can you trust you in the future?"

Liu Jin became more and more uneasy following the prince's words. He was shocked when he heard the last sentence, his face was already as pale as paper, and he cupped his hands and said: "This... I know my mistake, and I will definitely restrain the children of the clan in the future. It's just that what your highness said is insignificant. I really don't know, please let your highness inform me."

Although the crown prince was dissatisfied with Liu Jin and felt that he was not a trustworthy person, he still patiently explained everything about the Liu family that his subordinates inquired about.

After hearing this, Liu Jin gasped, her hands trembled slightly, and she tried to keep calm and said sadly: "His Royal Highness, I really don't know about this matter. I received a letter a few days ago, and I didn't mention it. I just said Some family affairs, and those rare things made by His Royal Highness Shun Wang."

When mentioning King Shun, the Prince's eyes couldn't help being gloomy, and he waved his hand after a while and said, "It doesn't matter whether the letter has mentioned it or not. The most important thing is whether you will be involved in this matter. Zhi, partial branch inevitably needs to be filial from time to time, and now I'm afraid that King Shun will make a fuss and involve you. You know King Shun's character, he is used to being domineering, and he holds grudges the most. You have worked hard, with his temperament, with such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?"

Liu Jin was not innocent at all, so he was shocked when he heard this, and he was a little confused, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, this...how can this be done, Your Highness knows how a humble minister is, if you know There is such a scum in the family, and it is too late to kill relatives righteously, how can I join them, I am really kept in the dark, please Your Highness give advice to me."

What the crown prince wanted was his words, and he immediately said: "What are you panicking about? Even if King Shun wants to avenge his private revenge, he still wants to see who is closer. I just heard that King Shun's fief has snowed heavily for several days. The official road was blocked by heavy snow, and it was inconvenient to get in and out. Furthermore, it was not that easy to conclusively prove the crime. It would take at least a few months after he handed over the paperwork to enter the palace. In such a short time, what to do No? As long as your Liu family's partial branch is deemed wronged by the emperor, even if the lonely third brother is eloquent, he will never convict the Liu family. You have to eat a lot of rice."

When the crown prince said this, Liu Jin suddenly realized, and his nervous heart calmed down. He said gratefully: "What your highness said is very true, so the humble minister will write a booklet and call for grievances for the younger brother of the humble minister."

Liu Jinsheng was afraid that a catastrophe would happen to him if he was too late, so he couldn't wait to spread paper and ink, but the prince said: "Don't worry, Liu Shilang, according to my father's disposition, if it is true that Liu Shilang handed over the booklet, it will cause suspicion. It’s better to find someone who is loyal to propose it.”

Only then did Liu Jin understand, and she became more grateful to the prince, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chang'an was stirred up by the crown prince. Xie Jing'an, who was far away in Mozhou, didn't know it. Ever since Master Liu was forced to rush and unintentionally let out the news, the gate of Shun Palace was full of people again.

On the surface, Xie Jingan pretended to be helpless to meet merchants from various families, but he was so happy that he almost couldn't hold back his face, and finally sent the people who came to the door, Xie Jingan couldn't help it anymore, sat on the chair in the flower hall and laughed heartily a few times, Then he asked Cui Tongdao who was standing beside him: "Cui Tong, do the math for me, how many merchants from aristocratic families are willing to sell their farm cattle to me, and how many are there in total?"

Cui Tong was only released two days ago. When he left the room on the first day of junior high school, he thought that Xie Jingan hated him, and his expression was a little uneasy. After these two days, he realized that he was just teaching him a lesson, so he couldn't help becoming more courageous, and said with a smile : "Your Highness has a clever plan, six families agreed with His Highness's plan, and there are a total of [-] cattle."

"Two thousand," Xie Jingan sighed, "All of these aristocratic families are really rich. They are willing to sell so much to this king. I don't know how many heads they have in private. Although two thousand is not enough, it is better than nothing." After the winter, the official road will be open, and I have so much silver, I can buy as much as I want, and at that time, even the aristocratic family will come to ask me, and I will not need it anymore."

The realization of the plan was regarded as a solution to the urgent need. Xie Jingan laughed a few more times, then suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "Speaking of the official way, it is actually convenient to travel by water, but I don't have a boat workshop. You can't always borrow the Yao family's merchant ships, the sea is an inexhaustible wealth, after the winter, the king's shipyard should be built."

The sea is not only wealth, if you can build a large ship for long-distance voyages, you can also open up maritime trade. It is certainly fun to earn money from rich families, but it is even more enjoyable to earn money from other countries. Xie Jingan remembers Japan in later generations, and the territory of Japan But there are a lot of minerals. Xie Jingan does not know how many gold mines and silver mines, but there are always some. He has to wake up laughing in his dreams.

Xie Jing'an put this matter on the agenda in his heart, and the expression on his face was also very happy. Cui Tong couldn't help being a little excited when he saw it, and said: "Your Highness wants to build a ship? Then if His Highness returns to Chang'an in the future, wouldn't it be much more convenient?" , this subordinate has grown up to such a big age, and he has never been on a big boat before."

"That's right," Xie Jing'an said with a smile, "Traveling by water is not only much faster than the land route, but also suffers a lot less. Not to mention that you have never been on a big boat, and this king has never been on a big boat. Although you swam across the lake in Chang'an, The lake is only a little bit big, so what's the point? After the king's boat is built, the king can take you to the sea. The sea is much bigger than the lake, and it's boundless, and there are things bigger than a house. Where's the fish?"

"A fish bigger than a house?" Cui Tong was taken aback, "Isn't that going to eat people?"

Xie Jingan knows about sharks eating people, but he has never heard of whether whales eat people or not. Xie Jingan was not sure, so he didn't answer him. He just smiled and said, "I don't know if I eat people or not. I'll throw you down and try." Don't you know?"

Cui Tong was so frightened that his face turned pale. Seeing the smile on Xie Jingan's face, he realized that he was teasing him. He couldn't help laughing too, and said, "Your Highness is really bad. You can make fun of this kind of thing, but Your Highness really knows a lot." , if His Highness hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t know that there are fishes bigger than a house in the world.”

Cui Tong's casual words made Xie Jingan's heart skip a beat, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he followed him and said, "I didn't know about it before, but I just met an old Taoist by chance. Listen to what he said, and the world is so happy." It is so big, full of wonders, who knows what strange things are there in the world?"

"Your Highness said that," Cui Tongdao said, "Your Highness must remember to promise his subordinates that when the boat is built, he will show his subordinates to see the fish that is bigger than the house."

"That's natural." Xie Jingan responded with a smile, and then told him, "Go and call Commander Jiang over, I have something to ask him."

Cui Tong agreed with a smile, and trotted out after saluting, Jiang Zheng's voice came from outside the door after a while.

Xie Jingan let him in, and after he saluted, he asked, "How are you doing with the errands that the king ordered you a few days ago?"

Jiang Zheng said: "Reporting to Your Highness, in the past few days, the generals have led the guards to run errands day and night, and almost everyone has been arrested, and they are all placed in the military camp outside the city. There are still some who slipped through the net and are still looking for them, but please rest assured, Your Highness. In a few days, they will all be caught."

Hearing Jiang Zheng's words, Xie Jingan couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Arrest? When did this king let you arrest people? This king just asked you to gather those orphans who have no father, no mother, and no relatives to take care of them. You didn't Hurt them."

It was only at this time that Jiang Zheng realized that his wording was inappropriate, pleading guilty: "Forgive me, Your Highness. The general did not explain clearly. The general did not arrest people, but invited them into the barracks. It's just that some children refused to cooperate and ran away repeatedly. , the last general is in a hurry, so he is a little bit indiscriminate."

Hearing Jiang Zheng's explanation, Xie Jingan nodded with relief, "It's good that no one was hurt, and you should search the vicinity again in the past two days, and if you really haven't missed anything, then report to the king. As for the people placed in the barracks Children, you have to take good care of them and don't hurt anyone, can you hear me clearly?"

Jiang Zheng didn't understand Xie Jingan's intentions, but he didn't ask, and just cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders."

Xie Jing'an told him a few more words, make sure those children are fed and clothed, those who are sick are treated, and those who are not are well rested before waving them away.
