Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 333, The mystery of the century: Who killed Fan Ruoruo? Did you get the lottery ticket out?
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you don't have to kill my sister. I have already captured and imprisoned all the noble families that supported my sister and Fan Xian."

Outside the imperial study, Versace's joyful shouts were heard.

I have to say that Versace is quite efficient.

When Fan Ruoruo's life was in danger, Versace was determined to kill her by mistake rather than let her go.

In less than a day, almost all the noble families in Kyoto and Qing Kingdom that were in collusion were caught.

Even though it belonged to the Versace family, the Minister of Revenue never let it go.

Hong Zhu couldn't bear it and closed his eyes.

It's too late!

Versace rushed into the imperial study with an excited look on his face.

As a result, he saw Hong Zhu holding the imperial edict that posthumously conferred the title of empress on Fan Ruoruo.

The whole person sat down on the ground like a thunder, even though he was already in his twenties.

Now he started crying like the child.

"Why, why! Brother-in-law, why do you have to kill my sister? Even if the relationship between husband and wife is over, can't you just send her back to Qing Kingdom?"

Liu Hong stared at Versace for a long time before his expression relaxed.

Hong Zhu couldn't help but whispered an admonition.

"Minister Fan, please accept my condolences! Now that things have come to this, please take care of Miss Ruoruo's funeral."

Versace suddenly pushed Hong Zhu away and looked at Liu Hong with red eyes.

Even though he had severed all ties with the Fan family, how could he just cut off the grace of raising him for more than ten years?

Blood ties are thicker than water, broken bones are still connected by tendons!

"King Han, tell me! Who killed Fan Ruoruo?"

Versace suppressed a low growl.

Hong Zhu's voice immediately rose a few decibels.

"Minister Fan, please respect yourself. You are a subject of the King of Han. How can a subject speak to the king like this?"

Versace's eyes were still red as he stared at Liu Hong.

Liu Hong waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

It can be said that Versace’s three views were established by Liu Hong alone.

It can be said that in Liu Hong's heart, Versace is half a son.

Liu Hong threw a sword to Versace, just like in the past, pure teaching.

"Whoever you think killed him, that's who killed him!"

Hong Zhu gave all the experiences of Fan Ruoruo's death to Fan Sizhe.

Versace's chest, which was originally filled with indignation, was suddenly extinguished like ice water.

General Er Gouzi? But he didn't do anything!

Is it Queen Sang Wen of Changle Palace? But she was the adoptive mother of her nephew Liu Ying, and she was just following orders.

The palace maids in Changle Palace also followed orders.

It is not accurate to say that Liu Hong killed Fan Ruoruo!
If Fan Ruoruo had stayed in Qing Kingdom obediently, why would Liu Hong have gone to the trouble to kill Fan Ruoruo and bear the infamy?

For a moment, Versace's mind was in a daze and he stood there in a daze.

After peeling away the layers of silk, Versace made a horrified discovery.

This is sister Fan Ruoruo's own death, it has nothing to do with the Han Kingdom.

Because the Han Kingdom, which had just begun its reforms, could not tolerate Fan Ruoruo and his aristocratic family continuing to stir up trouble.

Liu Hong saw that Versace was still confused, and his voice seemed like a loud bell, ringing in Versace's ears.

"Remember what I told you? Reveal the appearance and see the essence!"

"If you can't understand this, how can you become the Minister of Finance and the President of the Bank of Qian in the future?"

The results of the Han Dynasty's reforms were too rapid.

In just a few months, various factories sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, and the number of workers increased rapidly.

The enlightened families no longer worried about land annexation, but instead devoted themselves to factories and established industries.

Farmers no longer have to worry about vegetables, fruits and melons, as all kinds of raw materials are sold directly.

Because in the blue ocean market, everything is so scarce and everything is so precious.

These people will become the beneficiaries of the Han Dynasty's reforms and will become the most staunch supporters of the reforms in the future.

Many of the current cabinet members are the products of compromise with the feudal dynasty.

After a few years, if interests and classes cannot be transformed, they are doomed to be abandoned by the reform.

Versace looked at Liu Hong blankly, with the sword at his feet, and had no intention of picking it up.

A flash of disappointment passed through Liu Hong's eyes, and he waved his hand.

"Think about it carefully! Who killed Fan Ruoruo?"

Versace walked out of the palace in a daze, looking at the stars in the sky.

At this moment, the countless densely packed stars looked like a maze, leaving Versace completely confused.

Hong Zhu trotted over and quickly stuffed the given sword into Versace's arms.

"The King of Han said that Minister Fan's sword will be useful sooner or later. Take it first! Otherwise, the King of Han will grant you political immunity in the future."

Versace took the sword in his hand in confusion and walked towards his mansion.

My brother-in-law has always been so goal-oriented.

It's just that he seems to have always gone with the flow. Whoever needs Versace to do this, then Versace will do it.

I never knew what I wanted.

The sounds of children playing on the street could be heard, accompanied by the laughter and scolding of adults.

The Han Dynasty's economy was booming, and this was reflected among the common people in the form of more laughter and joy, rather than complaints and scolding.

Versace's mouth curled up slightly, this is the result of his reform!
Exploit the interests of the aristocratic families, expand the new pie, and give it to the common people.

But when Versace looked at the mansion, his eyes dimmed again.

This was once the residence of the general of the King of Han, located on the civilian street. This is the trace of Fan Ruoruo's residence.

And now my sister is gone.

The butler became indignant when he saw Versace's gloomy expression.

"My lord, the King of Han was a little too harsh on you. You had already clipped most of your wings, but the King of Han still betrayed you and did not let Miss Ruoruo go."

Versace suddenly raised his head and stared at the butler.

This person has been my playmate since childhood, from a book boy, to a servant, and now to my housekeeper.

Just like himself, he had been educated in the way of thinking of most aristocratic families.

Versace woke up in shock, drew his sword, and killed the chattering butler on the spot with one blow.

The servants around who echoed him immediately shut their mouths.

I don't understand why Versace has such a big reaction.

Versace raised the blood-stained sword, his eyes brighter than ever.

"I understand why my sister Fan Ruoruo died! She had to die."

"The Han Kingdom is full of vitality, but there is still a lot of soil for the development of aristocratic families!"

"It was Emperor Qing, Fan Xian, and even my father Fan Jian who was stubborn and kept looking at the King of Han with the old ideas."

"That's why Fan Ruoruo died! Because Fan Ruoruo was the one who was tortured the most by these people."

Everyone looked at Versace as if he were an idiot.

The news has spread that it was Queen Sang Wen of Changle Palace who poisoned Fan Ruoruo.

But Versace had to involve Emperor Qing, Fan Xian, and his biological father Fan Jian. What does this have to do with them?

Versace became more and more excited as he spoke. Looking at the Weiyang Palace, he burst into laughter, almost laughing to the point of tears.

"Brother-in-law! Now I finally understand what you want. It's a pity that Fan Ruoruo doesn't understand. She still has the old ideas. She can only die!" All the servants trembled all over, and one of them couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Crazy, Minister Fan is crazy."

Versace ignored the surprise of the people below. He just felt as if he had finally found his own way.

I also found out who killed Fan Ruoruo.

What killed Fan Ruoruo was not a person, but the struggle of the times.

In the past, Liu Hong was a minister of the Qing Kingdom. According to the operation trajectory of the feudal dynasty, he had always been struggling in conspiracy and intrigue.

And now Liu Honggui is the King of Han, nurturing the successive development of the bourgeoisie and the working class.

So the King of Han let Wang Shisanlang go because there was no fundamental conflict of interest between them.

But Fan Ruoruo can't do that. She wants to make a comeback with her family and do evil things!

Versace's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he raised his arms and shouted.

"The one who killed Fan Ruoruo was not the King of Han, but Emperor Qing, Fan Xian, and the aristocratic families of the world..."

All the servants took a step back and looked at Versace who seemed like a madman.

An old servant could not help but kneel on the ground and cry.

"Sir, please stay calm! Don't let Miss Ruoruo's death make you fall into a trance."

Versace glanced at the group of servants and instead of getting angry, he started laughing.

"Now that I know about the one-year compulsory education in Han, I should have said something earlier."

"Tomorrow I will report to the Cabinet, and together with Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi, I will go to Guangxiu Academy and tell all the people of Han about the thoughts in my mind that you think are insane!"

In the palace, Liu Hong seemed to sense something and laughed softly.

"It looks like Versace has figured it out."

Countless doubts popped up in Hong Zhu's mind, but they finally turned into one sentence.

The King of Han guessed right! He said that Versace would need this sword sooner or later, but he didn't expect that he would use it at night.

Then Hong Zhu said something.

"King of Han, aren't you going to summon the concubines from the palace to sleep with you today?"

Liu Hong glanced at Hong Zhu and said nothing.

There are only three concubines in the harem. Sang Wen is pregnant. In another month or two, Liu Heng should be born.

Zhan Pianpian was recently unable to get out of bed by Liu Hong and is now in the recovery period.

As for Cao... I can only say that I can only visit her a few times a month. I can't let her be too favored, otherwise she will easily have some inappropriate fantasies about Liu Fei.

At dawn in the morning, Liu Hong headed for the palace where the grand court meeting was to be held.

Versace did not sleep all night. He stood among the officials with a pile of books in his arms and red eyes.

The officials passing by were frightened by Versace's appearance and kept their distance from him.

After Liu Hong sat on the throne, he was stunned when he saw Versace's look, and then he didn't say anything.

Wait until all civil and military officials in the court gather.

The Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi stepped forward and handed over the memorial.

"Your Majesty! This is the textbook for the one-year compulsory education in the Han Kingdom. Please check it out, Your Majesty."

When Xiao He heard that Guo Youzhi's Ministry of Rites had already compiled the teaching materials, he was stunned.

No! My Ministry of Industry has just gathered enough manpower to start building a college in a remote county. Have you finished the textbooks?

Liu Hong glanced at the classics handed over by Guo Youzhi.

Most of them have no problems. They are all publications from the time of early literacy, and are enough for ordinary people to read and write and understand the Han Dynasty's summons.

But Liu Hong shook his head, it was not enough.

As long as you can read and write a few hundred words, you can slowly start studying in the future. Half a year will be enough, and it won't take a year at all.

"King Han, I also have an enlightenment document to hand over."

Versace picked up a pile of questionnaires and threw them on the wooden board brought up by the eunuch.

The writing is very messy and chaotic.

However, Liu Hong understood it. It was probably about the difference between the emerging class forces and the aristocratic family forces, and it involved the issue of class struggle.

Versace also gave examples to illustrate the hardships of the people in Qing and Northern Qi, and the happiness of the people in Han.

How can I put it! This paragraph is suspected of brainwashing, even if the facts seem to be true, it is a bit self-boasting.

Liu Hong pondered for a while, then drew a check mark on Guo Youzhi's enlightenment book, Versace's class struggle document, and the document boasting about the rule of the Han Dynasty.

"That's probably it. The Prime Minister takes the lead, and the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Works, and the Minister of Rites jointly promote one year of compulsory education."

At this point, Liu Hong suddenly remembered and asked Versace.

"Minister Fan, is the treasury still full? This national policy of enlightening the people must be implemented."

It is impossible for Liu Hong to issue national bonds like Emperor Qing, which would ultimately fall on the common people to bear the cost.

Versace grinned, his eyes full of pride.

"The treasury is full, and another 40 million taels of silver were deposited this month."

Not to mention Liu Hong was stunned, even Lin Ruofu, who had been slow all the time, couldn't help but glance sideways with a look of surprise.

You should know that the Han Dynasty had a policy of 10% tax on farmers. Now, in the early stages of the reform, a large number of factories are also exempted from taxes and reduced taxes.

So far, it has been operating on the income from iron, salt, wine and other miscellaneous income from state-owned factories.

Twenty million is the maximum.

Where did Versace get the 40 million taels of silver?

Shi Chanli laughed and expressed his admiration for Versace's open-source approach.

"King of Han! Minister Fan promoted the lottery and the casino industry."

After hearing Shi Chanli's explanation, all the civil and military officials were stunned.

How can you play like this with only one idea in your mind?
This guy Versace created a so-called lottery with a prize of one million taels every month.

Later, it was implemented in all major counties, with each lottery ticket costing between five and ten copper coins, which stimulated the mentality of many people to get something for nothing.

Then the casinos were carefully divided up, and a high-end casino was specially set up. The Baoyue Tower provided a service of providing entertainment with beautiful women, and also collected money from the wealthy families.

Liu Hong suppressed the twitching of his mouth.

Versace is really suitable for economics. With such economic acumen, even Liu Hong, a time traveler, would not have thought of it after so long.

To be precise, Liu Hong has forgotten many things after staying in this world for too long.

After Shi Chanli finished his explanation, Versace also became interested.

"King of Han, I have another idea! Now a large number of factories have been built in Han, but they are all operating independently, and there is no money to support the expansion."

“It would be better if Qianhang took the lead and organized the factories to collect private funds and distribute the profits to some shareholders as dividends every month.”

Isn't this just stocks?
Liu Hong raised his hand, quickly suppressed Versace who was in high spirits, and shook his head.

"This is not the right time yet."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the people all poured their energy into the factories and the Han Dynasty's national policy was adjusted, and some of the factories suffered heavy losses?"

"So who was hurt in the end, the factory owner or the common people?"

That's putting it mildly.

Liu Hong was really afraid because he hadn't even built up the bourgeoisie and the number of workers had not yet increased significantly.

Versace brought about his own collapse, triggering the first economic crisis in the Han Dynasty.

Even if the problem is solved by then, the Han economy will regress by ten or even dozens of years.

Versace was a little unhappy when he saw that his proposal was rejected, but he still agreed.

Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi, seeing that Versace had calmed down, slowly bowed.

"King of Han! Dongyi City sent an envoy to apologize for the assassination in Danzhou."
