The return of the army of rebellion was received with an extremely grand reception. The emperor personally led all officials out of the city to welcome him, not mainly to welcome Liu Xiaqing, but to welcome the left Grand Sima Pang'an. The inside and outside of Chang'an City were all over the place, and the sorrow and joy shook the sky.

Headed by Fan Chong, the Red Eyebrows and his generals were covered in mourning. They left the city to greet each other, bowed to the ground, and cried bitterly. The entire city was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

The emperor gave Zheng An extremely high courtesy, personally mourned him and expressed his merits. His eldest son, Pang Cheng, inherited his title and appointed his second son, Pang Rui as a marquis.

The emperor took the blame for the departure of Yong'an. He did not violate national laws and was able to treat the heroes of Yong'an, so that all factions in the court could make it reasonable, which was a successful solution to this matter.

For the rebel party, the sect was handed over to the Youth Department for interrogation. A group of people would definitely kill. Rebellion could lead to a major case that could cause blood to flow. However, in order to maintain stability, Liu Yu also saw that Jiang An was trying to save him to death. The killing was not serious and he had already been treated lightly.

A rebellion that might have shocked the whole country was quelled, and it seemed that everyone was satisfied and acceptable in all aspects, but there was nothing in the world, and people were in trouble at any time.

The Grand Tutor Liu Xiaqing is such an unlucky guy. He made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion and returned triumphantly, but he didn't expect that he was driven out by his wife and was already homeless.

This time, Liu Xiaqing handled the rebellion properly and quickly quelled the situation in Shanglinyuan. The emperor appointed Rong An as the first and Liu Xiaqing as the second, and granted him a thousand households.

Logically speaking, Lao Liu was proud and made many achievements in his fiefdom, which should be a good thing, but because he did not stop his brother-in-law, he lost his life. After returning home, his wife, Gang Ying, was scolded by her wife. It is said that she even got the hand and scratched Lao Liu's face one by one, with blood on her ugly face.

In this way, Liu Xiaqing was still not angry, but just begged in a low voice. After all, the brother died, and Mrs. Liu felt sad. Old Liu could not see her. But when Mrs. Liu rushed towards him with a kitchen knife, Liu Xiaqing couldn't hold on anymore. She turned around and ran away, and ran to her godson Qian Youdiyuan in one breath.

The wine commander Qian You has now done a big career and has spread a lot of money. When he first arrived in Chang'an, the whole country was short of food and money, and there was not much grain for him to make wine. The emperor only granted him a remote courtyard to help him develop high-level wine. Nowadays, the military farms across the country have been built, and tens of millions of stones of imperial grain are paid every year, which not only can supply military supplies, but also can fill the national warehouses, and some are surplus grains for making wine.

Chang'an Liquor Duwei District has long been different from the past. It has developed from a small side courtyard to a large area covering dozens of hectares. The grain is piled up into mountains, wine utensils are everywhere, and the products are also renovated. Wine of various degrees and wine of different raw materials are emerging one after another. People in Chang'an know that the wine brewed by the Liquor Duwei is all good wine and are rushing to buy it.

Because of sufficient food, the brewing of wine among the people has now been opened. The emperor did not implement a wine sale, and the people could brew it by themselves. However, the high-altitude wine is actually the emperor's own business. Because the people do not have the technology to brew high-altitude wine, they cannot make it themselves, so they had to pinch their noses and let others slaughter them and buy it from the wine commander at a high price.

The price of high-alcohol is extremely expensive, dozens or hundreds of times more expensive than ordinary wine, but it is still in short supply because it is a monopoly operation, and this one has no semicolon.

The powerful people in Chang'an have long been stolen by high-alcohol wine. When drinking ordinary wine, they feel light and tasteless. Ordinary wealthy families also regard drinking high-alcohol wine as a fashion. For a moment, drinking high-alcohol has become a symbol of their status. If they don't take out some high-alcohol wine when treating guests, the guests will show disdain, and the host will feel that their face is dull.

This made the income of high-alcohol was so great that the emperor was happy to see it. His favorite was to fetch the rich and develop various high-end products that the poor could not afford, and they were exclusively for the rich to enjoy, and earn money to supplement the emperor's inner treasury.

As the emperor's most profitable industry, the great steward of the high wine wine industry, Qian You has been doing well in recent years. He set up a high-gate mansion outside the kitchen gate of Chang'an, known as Qian You. However, this man is often empty because Qian You are so busy that he almost has no time to go home. His mother Qian Po is the deputy general manager of Shangyiku and is also busy in Shangyiku every day. Both owners are not at home, so the luxurious mansion is almost only reserved for the care of the housekeeper.

Qian You often stayed in the wine garden, and there were some residences in the wine garden for technicians under the command of the wine commander. Liu Xiaqing would occasionally come here to try the newly brewed wine. He became addicted to drinking it twice, and even made a long night drink with his godson.

As soon as he arrived at the wine garden, Qian You came out to greet him in a row.

"Entertainment Father, you haven't been here for a long time. I missed you yesterday!"

Liu Xiaqing walked in dejectedly, "Is there any good wine to relieve my worries? Your adopted mother... Alas, I'm afraid I have to live with you for some time."

"Are you kicked out by your adopted mother?" Qian You smiled with saliva, "To be honest, my adopted mother has a big temper... she is really not as gentle and considerate as my biological mother."

"Fuck!" Liu Xiaqing was furious and raised his hand to beat him. Don't be bullied by his wife at home and had nowhere to stay. Once someone slandered his wife, he would immediately stop doing it. "You kid sprays feces all over your mouth, and talk nonsense, I'll kill you!"

Qian You avoided sideways, apologized repeatedly, and vowed not to talk nonsense. Only then did he finally pull Liu Xiaqing who was trying to leave and pulled him inside to drink.

Old Liu really had no place to go. His nephew Liu Biao was not at home and had only a niece-in-law at home, so it was hard for him to go there. Other old brothers had wives and concubines at home, so they could be a guest, but it was not suitable to stay with him. Only money had this place, no women, and alcohol, so he could hide and drink to relieve his sorrows.

Liu Xiaqing tasted all kinds of fine wines accompanied by his godson. He couldn't taste them for a while and lay there and began to sleep soundly.

He was drunk in the wine garden and dreamed of death. He was drinking and eating and sleeping. On the third day, he was awakened by someone while drunk.

"Trial tutor, Tai tutor! Wake up, wake up!"

Liu Xiaqing opened his sleepy eyes in a daze and saw that it was one of his family members, and he called him anxiously. He immediately turned over and started, but he didn't expect that he would get anxious and his head became dizzy.

Liu Xiaqing held his forehead and said, "What's wrong? How is she doing, Madam? Is she willing to forgive me? Is she asking me back?"

"No, Madam said, you should die outside!" The family was so straightforward that they poured a basin of cold water on the head of Mr. Liu in one sentence. He lay down again and said irritably: "Then what are you doing? Why don't you get out of here!"

"But the Grand Tutor, it's not me who want to find you, it's His Majesty who want to find you!"

Liu Xiaqing jumped up suddenly, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Where are my shoes?"

While helping him dress and shoes, his family kept talking nonstop: "Your Majesty sent someone to call you early in the morning, but the lady said, 'That old guy is dead!' The eunuch took it seriously and ran back to deliver the letter. This alarmed His Majesty. He sent Ma Changshi in the palace to ask if Ma Changshi was really dead. The lady was still angry and said that the old guy was dead. The family secretary quickly told Ma Changshi behind his back that you were driven out of the house by his wife, and then he immediately sent a small person to look for you everywhere. The villain searched for a long time before he heard from a drunkard that you were here. Ma Changshi, hurry up and see the palace! Your Majesty is waiting for you!"

Liu Xiaqing raised her head and slapped her, "Who are you talking about old guy?"

The family covered their faces and said aggrievedly: "It's not what the villain said, it's the wife..."

"Madam is a favorite name. Can you tell me? Bastards, ungrateful things! I'm less than fifty, why is it the old guy?"

Liu Xiaqing scolded his family, cleaned himself up, ran out of the door, got in the car and headed straight for Changle Palace.

When the emperor saw him, he said, "Liu Xiaqing, are you alive again?"

Liu Xiaqing bowed down and laughed, "Zhu Jing is ignorant, Your Majesty must not be as knowledgeable as her."

The emperor suddenly covered his nose and waved his hand, "Liu Xiaqing, are you climbing out of the cesspool? Hurry up, drag him down, strip him naked, press the pool to wash and peel it well, it's too smelly!"

Liu Xiaqing ran to the wine garden in a panic, and didn't even bring any changes. She drank a lot of wine there for three days. She vomited and slept every day, and drank it when she got up. She had already smelled of wine on her body.

Several eunuchs pinched their noses and took the tutor down, took a shower and changed their clothes, and felt much more refreshing, and the palace was filled with fragrance. It was very comfortable to be in it.

The emperor said: "You did not kill a lot in Shanglinyuan, so you asked everyone to go back and farm well. This is a good thing. But I want to know why those people were willing to rebel with He Changnian and Lu Yan. They have food, drink and farming now. Are they still not satisfied with their current lives?"

Liu Xiaqing said: "Your Majesty, those who are confused by He Changnian and Lu Yanzhou are all deceived. Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son, and is virtue by all the people and the people. They are extremely grateful to Your Majesty, how could they be dissatisfied with it?"

Liu Xiaqing suddenly noticed that the emperor was looking at him with a serious face, with an angry look on his face. He was frightened and immediately bowed to the ground, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, I, Old Liu, can't speak. Don't be angry, don't be as ignorant as a fool."

"How come you can't speak? You are so good at speaking!" The emperor said angrily: "The people around me, ministers in the court, are better than the other. Those people are knowledgeable and better than you. Everyone speaks like this. I hear good things all over my ears, but is there really nothing bad in the world? I'm even harder to listen to the truth! Now even you, the person I trust the most, don't tell the truth to me! In the long run, I don't know how my people are doing!"

"I am guilty!" Liu Xiaqing kowtowed repeatedly, "I have let down Your Majesty's trust."

The emperor said, "I sent you there just to hear the truth below. You don't have to worry that I am unhappy. You can learn how the people say it."

"Your Majesty, they are cursing you behind your back." Liu Xiaqing hesitated, looked at the emperor's face, and finally made up his mind to say, "Those soldiers... said you knew that you wanted food, one time, not enough, two or three times, and various names. The harvest in the field was collected by you. The food left behind was just enough for them to live. They often had laborers and had difficulty in having their spare time. They lived a hard life."

"What about He Changnian Lu Yan and the others, and their generals?"

"Their lives are very comfortable, and they are all very rich. I sent someone to confiscate He Changnian and others' homes. The money they confiscated scared me. He Changnian's home only has hundreds of horse hoof gold, which is millions of dollars! There are other good things that I can't count. I really don't know why he has so much money."

That's it. Liu Yu immediately thought of the Weishou system in the Ming Dynasty. The Weishou system absorbed the experience of ancient military farming, combined with military farming, and guarding the military. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once boasted: "I raise a million soldiers and do not spend a grain of rice for the people."

However, as time went by, the generals gradually developed into landlords, and the military households gradually became their private slaves. The generals and soldiers were sent to farm farms, harvesting, charcoal, opening kilns, and building private places for them. Anyway, they were used in vain and were useless without spending money. At the same time, they had to deduct their monthly food and military pay, making the lives of the military households unsustainable.

Gradually, all the military households became serfs, so where is there any combat power?

In the late period, the guard army was simply vulnerable. During the Jiajing period, dozens of Japanese pirates landed from Shaoxing and rushed to the city of Nanjing. During this period, they killed four or five thousand officers and soldiers, creating a miracle of war.

These soldiers in Shanglinyuan were also exploited by generals for a long time. If they continued to develop, they would be slaves of He Changnian and others. Generals at all levels continued to increase their investments and plundered them from them to make profits for themselves. Ordinary soldiers did not understand and would only spread this resentment on the court. It was the emperor who took the blame.

Mintun is relatively better. They are supervised by local officials from all over the country. The large military farm area has special military farm lieutenants. The state provides land and agricultural tools, and the harvest is divided by individuals and the state. These farmers have a certain enthusiasm for production.

However, in Shanglinyuan, the Mintun households were bullied by Linyi and Ju battalions. There was a military camp in Shanglinyuan. At first, he did not dare to offend He Lu and the others, but later he joined the crowd and was now imprisoned and questioned.

The military farming achievements in recent years have been huge, making the country's use abundant and the people's burden less. This is the guarantee of Liu Yu's rapid rise. However, after a few years of operation, the problems gradually emerged, especially the military camps, which were mainly to settle some Red Eyebrow soldiers who refused to return to the people. Now these generals have a tendency to develop into new local tyrants, and those soldiers have gradually evolved into their home slaves.

The emperor felt that this problem would have to be solved sooner or later.
