Chapter 148 Restrictions and Education
Since Yun Lang felt the emperor's malice towards him in Liangzhou, Dongfang Shuo left Liangzhou and traveled around the world.
As the first retainer of the Yun clan, Dongfang Shuo did not return to Chang'an after leaving Liangzhou, and did not even have much interaction with the Yun clan people.
He chose to go directly to Shu.
Since the Yun family defeated the Huang family in Shu, no matter how Yun family avoided suspicion, their family has become the biggest backer of the merchants in Shu.
Relying on the printing and dyeing industry, the Yun family controlled 40% of the silk industry in Shu. This alone brought great benefits to the Yun family every year.
Especially after the opening of the Silk Road, the silk industry in Shuzhong made further great progress. According to Yun Lang's instructions, the silk workshop in Shuzhong produced a large number of simple silks that conformed to the aesthetics of the Western Regions and even the Persians of the Qin Dynasty.
Silk is simple but expensive. Controlling Liangzhou Road makes itself the only supplier. This is the secret that Yunshi can make the greatest profit of silk.
This is a very ordinary business model. When a huge industry is monopolized by one person, it is difficult for the rest of the people to know how much profit it will be.
Because all the silk cloths were sold abroad, Yun gave up his silk market in the Han Dynasty and handed it all over to Nagatomiya.
This is why Yun's family completely delivered the money house to the emperor to establish the Dahan Bank.
A profitable business is just a matter of death for Yun. As long as Yun Lang is willing, Yun will always find the most profitable business.
It is this ability that makes Liu Che's relationship with Yun Lang dark and unclear.
Dongfang Shuo went to Shu, Hanzhong, and even to the former Yelang Kingdom. It seemed leisurely, but in fact it took more than a year to greatly rectify the Yun family's business in these places.
In order to reassure the emperor, Yun family was constantly retreating, giving up all their careers, including copper ore, medicinal materials, wood, etc., and handed them over to Changping...
"The Han Kingdom has now entered the era of oligopoly."
Yun Lang threw down the teacup and said lightly.
Dongfang Shuo said: "Cao's fish and salt, Huo's cattle and sheep, and Yun's silk have been laid out."
"Others have also completed the monopoly...even Liu Ju monopoly the slave transaction."
"The emperor seems unmoved!"
"He is the biggest land monopolist, and he can use his army to get whatever he wants if he needs it."
Dongfang Shuo laughed silently and said, "No one is willing to give up the interests that have been obtained. If the emperor dares to rob, there will be someone who will fight desperately, not just one or two people, once everyone's interests cannot be guaranteed..."
Yun Lang glanced at Dongfang Shuo with contempt. At this time, this guy was still unwilling to say those disobedient words.
Yun Lang has been tortured by Liu Che for more than ten years. How could he not think about limiting Liu Che's power and not being as arrogant as he is now?
For this purpose, he had already started to make arrangements many years ago. Now, he has slowly seen some results. He wants to completely send Liu Che, the evil dragon, to the position he should stay, judging from the achievements he has made now, it is still serious shortage.
It is undoubtedly ridiculous that Dong Zhongshu wants to use things like destiny to restrict imperial power, especially now Liu Che, who is not the emperor who believes in the witchcraft that can cause harm to him in history books.
He seemed more clear, calm and objective than the original Liu Che. If Liu Che in history books was an irritable dragon, then Liu Che now was undoubtedly more terrifying than the irritable dragon.
Such a giant dragon will not care about destiny. As long as he is strong enough, he firmly believes that he can create a destiny himself.
The only thing that can limit power is power itself.
When all the interests are completed, they will develop according to their respective demands, and finally find a safe situation that no one is satisfied with but can still tolerate, and achieve a weak balance.
Such a balance is fragile. As long as one party feels that his interests have not been met, he will resist. Therefore, it will test the administrative experience of those in power very much.
Because if you are not careful, it will be a turmoil in the world.
Therefore, foreign enemies have never been the emperor's biggest worry, and the emperor's biggest enemy comes from his subjects.
Some people's feelings will become stronger over time. The royal family is not like this. It is unreliable to use feelings to maintain relationships between people. Even loving people like Liu Che and A Jiao, now, they have more considerations about interests than husband and wife.
No one is safe, and no one is innocent.
Yunzhe finally owned a short table, a small cushion, and a pen, ink, paper and ink in Weiyang Palace.
His official duties today are to copy the words of His Majesty the Emperor. His left hand was swollen and swollen, and he was beaten with a stick by His Majesty the Emperor, just because he did not copy the words of His Majesty the Emperor.
Every half an hour, the emperor would test it... that is to say, every half an hour, Yun Zhe's hand would suffer.
"It's said that Yun's son is smart. In your opinion, it's not very good. It's an exaggeration."
After adding two red marks to Yun Zhe's left hand, Liu Che left with satisfaction with his hands behind his back.
Yun Zhe watched the emperor leave, looked at the emperor's handwritten book on the desk, shook his head and continued to copy it. He really didn't dare to learn it too quickly...
Liu Che's handwriting is like him, and he seems to be full of hatred for the world and everything. Every stroke of writing seems to be about to penetrate the paper.
Every word is thick and colorful, as if engraved on paper.
There are not many changes in official script, especially in the era when paper was just created by Yun Lang, the concept of calligraphy has just taken shape.
Liu Che liked it very much. He believed that the words written by everyone are the same as everyone else and have unique characteristics.
If one person is allowed to copy another person's words for a long time, it is likely that the other person will develop the same temperament as the person being copied.
So Liu Che decisively tried it on Yun Zhe.
In the evening, Yun Zhe walked out of Weiyang Palace and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the setting sun.
The entire palace was bathed in the sunset, and the green palace was dyed yellow by the sunset. Looking at it from the Weiyang Palace, it looked extremely magnificent.
The quiet palace in the past seems extremely busy recently. It is already evening, and there are still a large group of officials and palace maids preparing for the emperor's trip.
"It's hard, right?"
Lan Tian walked out of the side hall, sat next to Yun Zhe, picked up his swollen hands and looked at it, and he looked extremely melancholy.
Yun Zhe pulled his hand back from Lantian and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world. Now that I want me to become a person like him, no matter how difficult it is, I will stick to it."
"I pleaded for mercy, my father refused, and my mother also said I had no reason..."
"Don't do this in the future, as your Majesty will be angry. I can still bear this little injury."
"It's really boring to grow up. Azhe, how nice it would be if we didn't grow up all the time?"
Yun Zhe smiled and said, "Did you feel uneasy?"
Lan Tian nodded and said, "The relationship between my father and mother is not as good as I thought, and my father is not as loving as I thought.
Azhe, I recently discovered that this world is not as good as I thought. The only thing I worry about now is that you do not like me as much as I thought."
Yun Zhe looked at Lantian strangely and said, "Did you find any signs? Tell me, I'll change it!"
Lan Tian shook his head and said, "It's because I didn't find out that I'm afraid."
Yun Zhe dragged Lantian up and led her outward, saying as he walked: "It's not too late to be sad when he found out. Since he hasn't discovered it yet, let's continue to live happily."
Yunzhe’s greatest ability is to find a place that can make people happy from all unhappiness.
Yun Lang once said that children like Yunzhe are truly happy children. They have the ability and qualifications to live in happiness forever.
Only such a child is worthy of the second generation ancestor, a word that is hard to understand.
After leaving the palace, the night market in Chang'an City has already opened.
After the Huns were expelled, the curfew in Chang'an City was completely lifted, and the people were able to travel to Chang'an City at night.
With the prosperity of merchants in the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City had lost its solemn appearance. When the sun sets, the lights in Chang'an City are on the ground, illuminating the yellow beards of the guards, which looks extremely exotic.
This is impossible.
