There is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world, and it is even more so when fathers and mothers treat their children.
Even if it is not a royal family, as long as there are more than two children in an ordinary family, although parents firmly believe that they treat both children with the same love, in fact, it is just an illusion of parents, and it can even be said that it is a self-deception of parents, and they will actually prefer a certain child.
Liu Yan is destined to focus more on the successor of the empire, but whenever he shows more love for a prince other than Liu Shen, it will inevitably cause a series of follow-ups.
's son is liked by the Son of Heaven, and the biological mother will more or less wonder if her son has a chance, whether he can compete for the only throne with the love of the Son of Heaven.
It may be difficult for her to start with anything else, and the best way is to keep setting up a game against her son's competition.
When the prince is liked by the Son of Heaven, the courtiers will have the idea of taking sides, and they will gather under the command of the prince to challenge the titular successor of the empire.
As a result, there were naturally countless disputes, the harem continued to intrigue, and obvious factions would form between the DPRK and China.
In this way, the harem will continue to have accidents, and the DPRK and China will continue to make trouble, and no matter how strong the Son of Heaven is, he will inevitably be involved, and the unstable situation will inevitably cause the country to have less desire to expand outward.
Liu Yan was very satisfied with the current situation of the harem, and at the same time, although he knew that the court and China had long been divided into factions, he desperately did not want to see a certain minister fight in the name of his son.
Last time, Sang Yu only showed some signs of it, and Liu Yan noticed it and immediately gave a warning, forcing Sang Yu to express his willingness to be Liu Shen's master.
Liu Yan naturally did not let Sang Yu become Liu Shen's master, the title can restrict Sang Yu, but the title can also make it more convenient for Sang Yu to do something when he wants to.
Sang Yu has stopped since that warning, and even the number of times he enters the palace to see his sister has dropped off a cliff.
He's like this, and the rest of the people who originally had something in mind look at it, how can they not be clear or honest and honest and loyal to today, don't think about other messy things.
In fact, it is also like that, Liu Yan is only in his thirties, and he can at least sit in the position of the emperor of the world for twenty years, and even sit for more than fifty years like Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, even if the big guy wants to stand in line, it is too early.
"Your Majesty is out of the palace" Ji Chang was not on duty today, when he was reading at home, someone came to report, thought about it and ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I will also go over there." ” It's not that Ji Chang specially sent people to keep an eye on the various palace gates, it's that there is a square around the palace city, and Liu Yan's movements are so big, people outside the family will inform the family master when they hear the news, no matter what the purpose is.
The news of Liu Yan's departure from the palace also spread, and the people who thought they were qualified and there were no people on duty, they all made the same moves as Ji Chang after thinking about it.
In the east of the city, there was a scene in which at least one carriage was brought in front of each mansion, and the heads of the families walked out of their homes in regular clothes, either alone or with their valued children and nephews, and the carriage rolled the cement path straight to the Temple of Heaven Square.
Chang'an's current resident population has reached 1.4 million.
This figure does not include slaves and all kinds of construction workers, except for various dignitaries, that is, commoners with or without titles.
If slaves were included, the population of Chang'an would have increased by at least 600,000.
It is not that there are too many slaves in the homes of the dignitaries, on the contrary, even if there are a lot of slaves in the dignitaries, they will not be placed in Chang'an, but will choose to be placed in their own fiefdoms as laborers.
There can be about 600,000 slaves, and each family has at least one slave.
The citizens living in Chang'an, as long as they are adult males, are also knights, and because their titles are not high enough to obtain fiefs, slaves are naturally placed at home to work.
Although the various projects in Chang'an have been completed by and large, there are not a few projects that have not been completed, and the slave construction regiment subordinate to Shaofu is carrying out all kinds of finishing projects, and there are still more than 400,000 official slaves still working.
Counting various identities, Chang'an's population is nearly 2.5 million, which has surpassed Jiankang, the largest city in the south, but it is inferior to Jiankang in terms of prosperity.
Chang'an, as the imperial capital, is prosperous but loses to Jiankang because Jiankang is a commercial city.
The second most prosperous city in the Han Empire was still not Chang'an, but Linzi, located in the eastern part of the empire.
The prosperity of the dignified imperial capital is only the third in the country, if it is not acceptable to other emperors, but it is okay here in Liu Yan.
In Liu Yan's view, the capital of a country does not have to be the most prosperous place, just being the capital is destined to become a political city.
"Your Majesty, all dynasties are strong and weak."
Xie An was dressed in regular clothes, and even carried a package in his hand that he didn't know what it contained.
He met Liu Yan and his group by chance, and he didn't deliberately pretend to meet: "I don't allow the local government to be stronger than the central government." ” Xie An is not wrong, any of the above dynasties, until the end of the dynasty, no ruler will allow the local government to be stronger than the central government.
"Oh Anshi is in favor of Zishen's play" Liu Yan didn't think much about whether Xie An deliberately encountered himself, he saw Xie An taking his three-year-old son shopping on the street, and thought about inviting a piece to the Temple of Heaven Square: "Migrate the local rich to Beijing" Xie An did not hesitate to say: "Migrating rich households to enrich the central government, there is a definite conclusion in ancient times, and it is good governance. ” In the early days, it can be traced as far back as the Shang Dynasty, and the rulers all migrated the local wealthy families under their noses.
The most neat thing to do was the Western Han Dynasty, from Liu Bang to Liu Jin, every emperor would move the local wealthy to the central government every few years.
The name they used was to enrich the "mausoleum", and the "mausoleum" was, of course, the burial place, that is, the place of burial after death.
Of course, the emigrating wealthy families were not brought to accompany the burial, but in fact, they were placed near the mausoleum being built, and the population gathered to become one of the sub-cities of Chang'an.
The Eastern Han Dynasty did not move the local wealthy to the central government, and the result was obvious, the local heroes were everywhere, and the emperor often became a puppet, and it was difficult for a strong emperor to appear.
Liu Yan looked at the neat streets, and then at the passers-by walking on the streets.
If you want to observe a country, the most direct thing to face is not to see the army, let alone the most prosperous city, but to go to every place to see the living standards of the people of the country.
Normally, the capital of a country, the citizens living in the capital city also have a great reference value.
Although Liu Yan doesn't often go out of the palace, every time he comes out, he will definitely take a look at the citizens with his own eyes, see if their faces are ruddy, and then look at the clothes they are wearing.
In snowy weather, there are not many citizens who go out to hang out, and even when they go out to walk on the streets, they will be in a hurry.
Liu Yan saw it with his own eyes, and every citizen he saw was flushed, but he didn't feel so proud, the climate was cold and he went out to give the wind to blow, unless it was frozen to the point of blue, or anyone's face would not be red It can only be observed from clothing, in the cold winter weather, if you want to go out, you must keep warm, and the citizens have a count of basically layers of clothes, which are not fur coats or thick woolen sweaters outside.
Liu Yan originally wanted to go directly to the Temple of Heaven Square, but after getting out of the car and walking halfway, he temporarily changed his mind and decided to go to the market in the south of the city.
Since it was a temporary change of location, it was definitely not decided to leave immediately, but still to give the relevant defense personnel time to make arrangements.

"Jiankang has the convenience of waterways."
Liu Yan also thought about moving the world's wealthy families to the central government, but many times he gave up when he was about to give an order: "Connecting all states abroad, it is convenient to sell commercial goods." ” Jiankang is connected to the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River has an outlet to the sea, in such an era when there is no air transportation, the cost of land transportation is too large, and water transportation is the best way to save transportation costs.
The same commodity, will inevitably increase in price because of the cost of transportation, and the purchase of goods must be in the hope of a lower price, Jiankang is because of the convenience of water transportation to gather the world's businessmen, but also attracted buyers to go.
The merchants who gathered together, they would gradually open their workshops around Jiankang, forming a natural cycle, and Jiankang became the most economically prosperous city in the Han Empire.
The situation of Linzi is no different from Jiankang, there is also a river on the edge of the city, and that river has a direct outlet to the sea, relying on the convenience of water transportation to become the second most prosperous city in the Han Empire.
Xie An knew that there was a dispute between the central government about whether to let Jiankang and Linzi continue to prosper so much, and more than half of them believed that Chang'an should be the most prosperous place in the entire empire.
In the spirit of the good of the country, each of them has written at least once, and the content may be written in a different way, and the views are surprisingly consistent.
The only area where Liu Yan has doubts is that if the wealthy families of Jiankang and Linzi are forcibly relocated, or if the relocation is completed in one go in a very short period of time, the country's economy will surely suffer near-devastating turmoil.
When the wealthy are relocated, they will not choose to keep their fixed property, but will sell it in a panic.
Then the question arises, the person who has the money to buy it must also be on the list of migrants, who will accept that people and property are thousands of miles apart The state acquisition is one of the methods, but the appearance will be unprecedentedly ugly, and who will engage in business in the future The result will inevitably be the abandonment of a large number of industries, the closure or closure of workshops and factories, and the occurrence of an exaggerated wave of unemployment.
"This" Xie An showed a surprised expression when he heard Liu Yan's words, as if he hadn't thought about it: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted plan, but the minister can't reach it." ” Liu Yancai didn't believe that Xie An hadn't thought about it, but because of his background and identity, he didn't dare to say it when he thought about it.
These people with high titles and high-ranking officials in the court, no matter what their previous family background was, their identities have changed now, and it is impossible to just rely on Yulu to live.
People who were born in the north, even if they can't think of investing in Linzi, they will get opinions after absorbing retainers.
Their identity determines that it is impossible to be completely pompous, and they don't want to do corrupt things and make themselves escorted to the vegetable market one day, and it is inevitable that business is involved.
People from the south have far more background than those from the north, many of them have huge family assets, the land is reclaimed for compensation, and some of the original shops and workshops are still in their names.
They have more or less capital in their hands, and everyone can see that Liu Yan is very supportive of the development of business, and if he is the first to participate, he has not been warned after participating, and even if he has made a fortune from legal business, who will reject it Once the wealthy families from all over the country are indeed forcibly relocated to Guanzhong, the only ones who can benefit are those who have enough capital to own huge assets thousands of miles away, but do not worry about being encroached upon.
Liu Yan had to think about it a lot of times, and how many of the ministers who suggested that the wealthy households should be relocated wanted to make a big profit When I came to the Seongnam Market, I stood on the periphery and looked inward, and I could see a kind of fog in the air.
Of course, it wasn't really foggy, but there were too many people gathering, and many of the shops in the market were steaming things, and there was so much heat that the air took on a foggy shape.
"Your Majesty" Cui Zong cautiously asked: "The princes and princesses are too young, and the market is chaotic, are they waiting on the periphery?"
In fact, the market in the south of Chang'an City is still relatively standardized, but as a market, it is impossible to be really clean, at most, there is no random occupation of stalls, resulting in people can't even walk around if they want to, and the place that should be dirty will still be dirty, and at the same time, the air is definitely not fresh, on the contrary, there are too many smells together, forming the turbid air unique to the market.
That is, Liu Yan has a map in his mind to distinguish between friend and foe, so he will take a group of heirs to go shopping.
There will be no assassination, but the air is muddy, and then it looks like it is indeed crowded, and the child is really not suitable for entering.
"Your Majesty."
Xie An persuaded: "Your Majesty's golden body, the society is all on you."
It was so chaotic inside that His Majesty was not allowed to enter. ” In fact, it is conceivable that there are others who have fallen into a state of high tension, that is, the people responsible for protecting the royal family.
If you carefully identify it, there have been too many people who look fierce here in a short period of time, but they still have to carry out all kinds of disguises, which makes some ordinary people who are aware of it curious.
Liu Yan was with more than a dozen children, and the children were accompanied by female officials, and the group was extremely conspicuous no matter how they looked at it, and they were soon constantly watched by the people next to them.
"That's it."
Liu Yan was not a stubborn person, so he said the names of some goods to Cui Zong and instructed, "Go in and buy them." ” Cui Zong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Liu Yan didn't go in, everything was easy to say.
The goods that Liu Yan said are all available to ordinary people, and it is necessary for him to have a good understanding of some market prices in order to judge the living conditions of Chang'an citizens
