Chapter 349 The Thief's Son, The Little Thief's Father

Forbidden City.

It is located in the center of Yecheng, the capital of the country.

It is still a large construction site.

But it is the most magnificent construction site.

Huge logs over fifty meters high can be seen everywhere.

These giant trees that have grown for hundreds of thousands of years are also rare wood in this era, but they have already been cut down in later generations.

The five thousand years of Middle-earth adhered to the principle of first come, first served, so the scale of palaces in successive dynasties became smaller and smaller.

It also has nothing to do with this material.

In this day and age, there are still a lot of huge materials.

The appearance of the entire Forbidden City is exactly the same as the bird's-eye view provided by Yuan Tan.

But in terms of the internal structure of the palace, it is completely different.

After all, Yuan Tan's drawings are only the appearance, and the interior design should also conform to the characteristics of this era.

This made the Forbidden City of Dahan more than triple in size.

Taller, bigger, grander.

The Qianqing Palace has been half built.

The names of the Forbidden City were not established in the Qing Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the names come from the Tao Te Ching.

For example, the Qianqing Palace, the sky must be clear, Qian is the sky, and the Qianqing Palace.

The land is Yiyining, the status is Kun, Kunning Palace.

The Qianqing Palace built by the Yuan family is huge.

It can accommodate thousands of people, highlighting its grandeur.

Marble floors and a two-story dragon terrace have been constructed.

The equipment that is capped and raised around the roof does not appear to be messy, but it makes people look forward to the majesty after it is all completed.

The emperor sat at the height of two floors, and the officials below could only look up.

the height of one floor,

A small platform was specially constructed.

This is a position specially reserved for Yuan Shao.

To show honor.

This place is already the power center of the Han Empire.

Yuan Shao used it temporarily today.

His voice can echo in the vast hall, which is specially designed to make the emperor's voice more majestic.

"The return of the emperor is gratifying and congratulatory. However, there are still many young people who obey the court in name, but actually call themselves kings."

When Yuan Shao said this, he grabbed the hilt of his sword and said proudly: "The truth is that I plan to expand the imperial army by 50,000 people. I wonder if Your Majesty thinks so?"

Wang Yun and the others held the facing board to cover their faces, and looked at each other in private.

In fact, this is to expand the power of your Yuan family.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiedao said: "Zhun Zuo, I am very at ease with the prime minister in charge of the court. I am still young, and I still need to learn more experience in governing the world from the prime minister."

Yuan Shao stroked his beard, nodded calmly, and faced the courtiers in front of his own stage, "Can all the ministers have a performance?"

After speaking, he looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is now in the third company, and because of his status as the emperor's uncle, he is the first civil servant.

That was originally Yuan Shao's position, but now that he has this platform, he doesn't need to stand underneath it, but can sit on it.

"The ministers and others have no book to play."

Yuan Shao was very satisfied, he had to know that everything had to go through him first, and if anyone had his own foundation, he had to be targeted.

"That's how it is." He walked down the dragon platform.

All the officials bowed at ninety degrees together, holding the facing board in front of their heads.

Yuan Shao strode away.

Then, according to etiquette, it was Liu Yu's turn to leave.

Liu Yu really didn't move.

"Uncle, how is your son?"

Yuan Tan came out and said.

"Thanks to the concern of the former general, he has recovered." Liu Yu was taken aback and had to answer.

"That's good, Uncle Emperor, but if you have any needs, you can come to Shence Mansion to find me."

After speaking, he let out a big yawn.

Baiguan was worried when he saw his mouth open.

Yuan Tan sniffed, it was too late last night, so he walked outside.

A little eunuch hurried over with the shoes and knelt down to put them on.

Yuan Tan strode away.

Country thief.

One door and two countries are thieves.

The posture of walking is the same arrogant and domineering.

Look at the corner of the sleeve, it is almost thrown into the sky.

The son of the big thief, the father of the little thief.

All the officials cursed together in their hearts. Obviously, they hated Yuan Tan even more.

Up to now they are still living on subsistence allowances, but they are officials of the imperial court.

He can do anything that a national thief can do. He is able to do things that a country thief can't do.

It is indeed the number one national thief in the world throughout the ages.

Then the great eunuch Desheng shouted: "Scatter the court."

Han Xiandi stood up, glanced at everyone, turned and left.

Then everyone lined up and went to put on their shoes one by one.

"Did Yuan Tan see a doctor for Liu Yu's son?"

"No wonder Liu Yu surrendered..."

"Every man, shameless!"

Liu Yu was also putting on his shoes, and his whole body went limp when he heard this comment.

Immediately felt that Yuan Tan was too cruel and heartless, so he stabbed him out in front of all the officials.

This time, his prestige among the officials must be greatly reduced.

Wang Yun is also wearing shoes, he did not comment on this.

Liu Yu was still the leader of the courtiers loyal to the Han Dynasty just now.

Now, not anymore.

It has also been seen that this is Yuan Tan's method of attacking Liu Yu.

Don't look at the young man's casual gossip, this knife has already pierced Liu Yu.

So young to be so unaggressive.

"Wang Situ, you have to shoulder the heavy burden again!" Ma Rixun said.

Wang Yun was depressed, he originally wanted to hide behind Liu Yu.

It's good now, and it's also involved in Yuan Tan's method.

Yuan Shao didn't need to wear shoes when he left, because he didn't take off his shoes.

Those who have a special gift, go up to the court with the sword on their feet, and praise and worship without a name.

Xun You was the last one to put on his shoes, and he is currently the only subordinate of Yuan Tan in court.

Although the officials avoided him, they heard some discussions to some extent.

Smile in my heart.

It was his idea to mention Liu Yu's son's illness.

Fortunately, the eldest son adopted it.

Now it seems that the effect is still very good.

Yuan Tan Kenner suggested.

This makes people like Xun You feel a sense of accomplishment.

...

That is less than half an hour.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

The people headed by Yuan Shang stood neatly in class, turned their heads together, and looked out.

Yuan Shao came and walked ahead.

Yuan Tan is right behind.

"Meet the prime minister (father)"

Yuan Shao nodded, walked up and sat down.

"Meet the eldest son (big brother)"

Yuan Tan returned the courtesy, "You don't need to be too polite." So he walked over and took a seat.

Only then did everyone take their seats in batches.

This time Yuan Shao summoned everyone to distribute the 50,000 troops.

Yuan Tan's Shence Army was allocated 5,000 personnel, and the overall number was raised to 20,000.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were divided into 5,000 people each, and the overall establishment also reached 15,000 people.

Add up to a scale of 30,000 people.

Yuan Shao's army got 35,000 places. There are a total of 100,000 troops, of which 50,000 are guarding key points on the border.

There are fifty thousand in Yecheng.

That is to say, Ye City is protected by an army of 100,000, which is the main force of the Yuan family.

The 100,000 troops were led by dozens of generals trusted by Yuan Shao, including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan.

The generals lead the same army for a long time, and the recruits are recruited separately, which is a characteristic of the Three Kingdoms era.

It is also a product of the unspoken rules of the gentry system.

This also led to the most rebellions during the Three Kingdoms period.

Now the Yuan family has expanded its military strength.

General weight.

In the future, more places will be pacified, and the scope of civil servants' governance will be larger.

Of course it's welcome.

Just when everyone was very excited.

Yuan Xi stood up and said: "My lord, my son is not good at using soldiers, five thousand troops are enough."

This is showing an attitude.

The second son will not compete for the position of heir.

He has few soldiers, so Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will not win him too much.

This is another kind of prudent self-defense.

is a smart move.

After Yuan Shao hesitated for a while, he still agreed to the request of his second son. The returned 15,000 soldiers were not redistributed to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Yuan Tan doesn't have any opinions, and the road ahead is still long.

After the meeting.

Yuan Shang went out, and he lost the opportunity to go to Youzhou.

Nowadays, the story of Yuan Tan's peaceful recovery of Youzhou is widely praised in the world.

Perhaps, people in the world have long forgotten that the Yuan family has two other young masters.

Although he also got the expansion quota of 5,000 people this time, it is obvious that there is still a big gap in each item.

I really hope that his father can support him again.

Yuan Shang also naturally saw that Yuan Shao had been cultivating him.

He also works hard.

But often the sky does not fulfill people's wishes.

Of course he also knows that this may be the gap in ability between him and his elder brother.

It is also not reconciled.

"Third Young Master, please stop, the Lord is calling you."

Yuan Shang turned around, it was Xu You, and he was overjoyed.

Shaoqing.

Yuan Shang appeared in the study, "Father?"

"Shang'er, I have something for you as a father."

"Please show me, Father."

Yuan Shao got up, walked to the decorative shelf, and took out a piece of exquisite painted pottery from the grid, "Shang'er, remember that you gave it to my father."

Yuan Shang dared not neglect, "Honoring your father is the duty of a son."

"It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"

"It... did cost five thousand guan at that time, and it was the work of Master Yan Shan. I was supposed to choose a famous product for my father, but I was too short of cash..."

Yuan Shang recalled that the famous products of those famous craftsmen were really priceless.

For so many years, Liu Yu was able to resist Gongsun Zan in remote places, deter aliens, and maintain the army.

Thanks to Ji Kiln, he must have earned a lot of money.

If there was no Ji Kiln, Liu Yu would have been wiped out by Gongsun Zan long ago.

Yuan Shao put down the painted pottery, "Go to Ji County once, and sort out the affairs of Ji Kiln."

Yuan Shang was immediately delighted when he heard the words. He had already understood why Yuan Shao was looking for him alone through the conversation just now.

Ji kiln is a source of wealth.

Since this matter is entrusted to him, he can get a share of it.

It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money.

A man can have nothing, but not money.

With money, you can keep followers in captivity, strengthen your army, and improve your own strength.

With money, he can suppress his elder brother.

With money, the road to heirs will be smoother, calmer and more confident.

Obviously, this is a resource specially prepared by Yuan Shao for him.

At this moment, Yuan Shang's heart has already flown to Jiyao, his eyes are full of painted pottery like flowers and jade.

So many famous craftsmen are golden chickens waiting to lay eggs for him.

Of course Yuan Shao could see Yuan Shang's joy, and he was very pleased that his youngest son could realize this benefit from it.

He reminded: "After you pass by, when you see those famous craftsmen in Yanshan, don't underestimate them because they are craftsmen, but give them preferential treatment."

"Here."
