Liu Tan waved his hand and said, "What's so difficult about this? The purpose of Cheshi State is just to provide supplies to passing caravans. Don't tear it all down at once. Draw up the blueprints first, and then just follow the instructions as you demolish and rebuild at the same time."
This is a solution, but no one else can think of a good solution, so we can only do it this way for now.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Liu Tan waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.
Gongshu Can couldn't wait to go back and asked his son to design the blueprints. Although his major was not quite related, it was for building a city.
Even though this city is not big, it is a must-pass place for caravans. Looking at the current Tongda City, one can imagine the future Cheshi Kingdom... No, without the Cheshi Kingdom, how glorious the new city will be.
The people who built this city will be remembered in history!
And even if he did not pursue such illusory things, this experience would be of great help to Gongshu Yi's career.
After everyone left, Liu Tan thought for a moment and ran to find the embroidered robe envoy.
At that time, the embroidered uniform envoys were organizing the information they had collected, preparing to prioritize them so that they could report to Chang'an.
When Liu Tan came over, they didn't even stop what they were doing, and Liu Tan pretended not to see anything even when he saw it.
Miao Rui and Big Gao, who were following behind Liu Tan, didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
It is rare to see that the spy chiefs stationed here by the princes and the emperor are so familiar with each other that they visit each other.
After seeing Liu Tan bow, the embroidered robes envoy jokingly asked, "Your Highness, we haven't reported anything special these past two days. Please don't do anything."
Liu Tan sat down and said with a smile, "Alright, those two blows I gave you will be gone in less than two days. Stop trying to be nice. By the way, I want to ask you what Chang'an said about me killing Wu Shilu."
The embroidered robes envoy said in surprise, "Your Majesty thinks it's very good, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks it's very good too."
Liu Tan waved his hand. "No, I'm talking about the public or the officials' opinions. You must know that."
Although the embroidered robe envoys have different divisions of labor, information still flows internally.
After hearing this, the embroidered robe envoy thought about it and decided that this shouldn't be considered a secret, so he said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Everyone in Chang'an shares the same hatred for the enemy. Everyone will cheer when the Xiongnu are killed."
Liu Tan asked, "Really? Aren't there any other discordant sounds?"
The embroidered robes envoy was stunned and wanted to say something, but he quickly thought of something and said hesitantly, "It's not that there is nothing, but it's done very covertly."
Liu Tan asked, "Who?"
The embroidered-robed messenger just smiled and said nothing. Liu Tan immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't run to Chang'an and stab anyone."
The embroidered robe envoy suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. It was not a matter of whether to expose the truth or not, but their information was only for the emperor. Others could not know anything from them, not even public information.
Seeing that the embroidered-robed messenger still didn't speak, Liu Tan thought for a moment and said, "Well... I'll tell you a few names. If you get the right one, you can put down the water cup."
The embroidered envoy was quite speechless, but he also knew that His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory would not give up until he got news from them.
So he also said: "Okay, but Your Highness, even if it's just this, we have leaked the news. If His Majesty knew..."
Liu Tan waved his hand and said, "My father doesn't have clairvoyance or super hearing. As long as you don't tell him, he won't know. Don't worry, I've finally gotten along with you guys. How could I possibly change someone else? Wouldn't that mean we have to start all over again?"
The embroidered robes envoy felt something was wrong: "No, Your Highness, is your pronunciation a little wrong?"
Liu Tan said decisively: "That's right, if I beat you up, won't that make us fight together?"
Embroidered Messenger: ...
Okay, there seems to be nothing wrong with this understanding.
So he nodded to Liu Tan.
Liu Tan said three words directly: "Liu Qumao."
The embroidered-robed messenger gasped and quickly put down the water cup in his hand.
He couldn't help but ask, "How did Your Highness know it was him?"
As far as he knew, there were many people in Chang'an who disliked the King of the Northern Territory. Why did His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory directly set his target on the Prime Minister of the current dynasty?
Liu Tan sneered, as if knowing what he was thinking. "Other people may not like me, but they're all on the same side when it comes to the big issues. Only Liu Qumao has been trying to kill me from the beginning. You said Wu Shilu's death is a great relief, so who else would cause trouble for me besides him?"
The Embroidered Uniform Envoy also understood the love-hate relationship between the King of the Northern Territory, the King of Qi, and the King of Changyi. As for Liu Qumao... one can only say that people with the surname Liu are probably naturally restless.
Liu Tan was somewhat surprised and said, "Liu Qumao must have some extraordinary qualities to be able to become Prime Minister. Since he decided to take action, how come there was no splash at all?"
Liu Tan didn't think it was strange that Liu Qumao didn't stir up any trouble. After all, first there was the death of Wu Shilu, and then there was the thunder attack of the Northern Border Kingdom on the Cheshi Kingdom. These two events were too close to each other and could easily be mixed together. The Han Dynasty won the battle, but some people still insisted on making discordant voices. Isn't that courting death?
Therefore, Liu Tan felt that Liu Qumao would definitely take action after he first learned the cause of Wu Shilu's death, but he would definitely stop this action when the news of the defeat of the Cheshi Kingdom spread.
However, there was a time gap between Wu Shilu's death and the conquest of Cheshi Kingdom, and the time gap for the news to reach Chang'an would also be extended. During this process, Liu Qumao did not make any achievements, which made him very strange.
The embroidered robes envoy couldn't help but say after a long while, "Perhaps it's because the Minister of Agriculture also spoke on behalf of His Highness."
Compared with Liu Qumao, Sang Hongyang had more prestige in the court and was more popular among the people.
After all, it was he who started the business of official positions and titles, which provided a way for many businessmen who wanted to become officials. Although the official positions they bought were very low and not highly regarded by others, at least they had a way out.
Moreover, Sang Hongyang did have some ability in economics, and he was able to restore the national treasury that was emptied by Liu Che bit by bit.
Such a person's words are not comparable to Liu Qumao's.
If he had helped, it would not be surprising that Liu Qumao's plan did not make any splash.
However, Sang Hongyang has always been a fair person and would not easily make friends with the princes. After all, the princes represent danger. Now even he is speaking for the King of the Northern Territory, which is more convincing.
Liu Tan smiled and suddenly realized the feeling of having someone in the court to help him get things done.
Although he never worried about any situation in Chang'an, Liu Che and Liu Ju would definitely stand on his side, but the referee's bias and the audience's bias are two different things.
Liu Tan knocked on the table, suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, and stood up and left.
He quickly returned to the study, pulled out a piece of paper and began to write a letter to his father. The letter only contained one content: Father, the new city is still short of a county governor!
