Liu Chang paced back and forth in the Houde Hall, looking worried. At this moment, it was Zhang Buyi who was with the emperor. Lu Lu was busy with money houses, and the other ministers also had their own busy work. Only Zhang Buyi, because his power was seized by Zhang Xiang, was the busiest of only seven, six, eight, and three months a year. In the rest of the time, he could be considered idle and could flatter the emperor with peace of mind.
Such unique work characteristics make everyone laugh at him as the three-month phase, meaning that he will only be like a prime minister in a year.
This is the seventh time that Liu Chang has asked. As an impatient person, Liu Chang is always eager to see the results. As the two sides met in Xitingguo, Liu Chang couldn't help but want to know the specific negotiations.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. How can you fail to succeed in your Majesty's great blessings?"
Zhang Buyi bent over and stood beside Chang Liu with a smile.
Just this look, if you don’t say a word, it is a model of slandering ministers throughout the ages.
"Feng Jing Lao Dog, I promoted him to serve as a vicious figure, but he was so negligent! He never replied to me for a month of negotiations!"
Liu Chang sat back in his original position angrily, and Zhang Buyi hurried forward, "Your Majesty, please do not get angry. Feng Jing does not know how to elevate you, and does not thank Your Majesty for your kindness and neglect your government affairs. But there is still some useful place for him now... Your Majesty can wait until he completes his mission before punishing him!"
"Um."
Liu Chang nodded approvingly, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "By the way, why has the migrant people disappeared? I asked you to propose it in the court discussion, and you don't mention it or handle it. Could it be that you also neglect my orders?!"
Zhang Buyi was shocked and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, I am guilty! Please punish me severely!"
"Stop talking about falsehood, tell me the current situation!"
"Your Majesty, I have negotiated with Chao Cuo and am preparing to implement it directly, without passing the court discussion. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to intervene and lead this matter. I have agreed..."
"Well...I understand."
Chang Liu couldn't help but yawn. Seeing that His Majesty was tired, Zhang Buyi naturally hurried forward and helped His Majesty to the couch. When Chang Liu lay down to rest, he held a fan in his hand and served him on his own.
......
"Hahaha, everyone! Please sit down!"
In Wuding Building, Lu Lu summoned the big merchants again, and his face was still full of smiles, but every merchant felt distressed. After all, if Lu Lu invites them here, there will definitely be nothing good.
They took merchants as their main job, and titles were just for the convenience of making money, but Lu Lu was different. He took official positions as the essence, and made money only for state affairs. He had to earn money to support the Han Dynasty. This was also impossible. As we all know, every time His Majesty happily asked Lu Jinshi to reward others with hundreds of gold, he did not ask Lu Lu to get a hundred gold from the national treasury, but asked him to pay out of his own pocket.
If you don’t work hard to make money, you can’t even get the rewards.
Lu Lu felt that in the future, the position of the emperor's number one servant would definitely become an official position that everyone would hate. If anyone becomes this official, it would be that the ancestral tomb was filled with smoke and would directly become the emperor's private pocket... Your Majesty often expressed proudly that he was a frugal person, and the consumption of the treasury in the whole year was less than 10,000 yuan. Every time when Lu Lu heard Your Majesty say this, he would just shake his head.
You have always used my money, and the treasury has not been consumed at all. How can you not be frugal?
Kang others' regrets, Your Majesty is still very good at it.
Because the money house affairs may be helpful to the Shihuo Mansion, the Shihuo Mansion specially sent officials to help, which was actually to help Lu Lu. The official who was entrusted with important tasks by Liu An was unquestionable.
Zhibuyi first got Zhang Cang's heavy use, and then he went to the Food and Goods Mansion and was loved by Liu An. He was generous and had the spirit of an elder. He was responsible for directly communicating with these merchants at the Food and Goods Mansion. He actually had a good impression of the merchants.
After everyone arrived, they subconsciously looked around and confirmed that the emperor did not follow him this time, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jiancheng Hou... We have business everywhere, so it's really inappropriate for you to call us here. If there is something wrong, just write a letter to inform us. Why do you need to tell us in person?"
Lu Lu said unhappily: "Don't rush to blame me, I have something good to tell you."
The merchants looked at him suspiciously. If there is any good thing, would you take the initiative to tell us?
Lu Lu cleared his throat and said, "I am going to set up money shops everywhere. First of all, give me all the money you earn..."
Before Lu Lu could finish his words, the big merchants almost jumped up. Are you talking about human words?
A man with a irritable personality could not help but shout: "Mr. Jiancheng, we dare not fail to complete your instructions on weekdays. This is because we all respect you and are willing to serve Your Majesty, but you are a bit too much. What is the difference between you and a thief?"
"Let me finish speaking. My money house is set up in major cities. You can deposit money and then withdraw money from other places. Think about it, if you want to take a convoy to Nanyue to buy local wood, how much money do you have to carry? There are various dangers on the way, and you may be in a shipwreck or encounter thieves. The consumption along the way is also quite huge. If you can collect it in other places, how much time can you save you and how much trouble?"
"Of course, deposits and withdrawals require a certain fee, but the fee is very low, which is basically lower than the loss you have on the way. In addition, our money house will also provide lending services, which is different from private lending. My money house, as long as it passes the review, can be as much as you want!"
Lu Lu said, looking at the people in front of him.
"With my own strength, it is still a bit difficult to build such a large scale. If anyone is willing to work with me as a money shop, I am very welcome. Of course, it is okay if I don't want to. If I can patronize my business, I will appreciate it too..."
Lu Lu was still telling, but the merchants were lowering their heads and began to think.
I kept silent and spoke at this appropriate time.
"The reputation of Jianchenghou is still trustworthy. Our Food and Food Mansion is also very supportive of this matter. Nowadays, commercial activities are frequent, and in some large-scale transactions, it has become very difficult to carry money. According to the Han law, you have to carry a lot of money to pass the test and pay a certain amount of taxes. If you can deposit and withdraw it in another place, it will not only be of great benefit to the current market, but also for you... and the temple has never stopped such behavior..."
"If you are interested in opening a small money house and try it out, you can also apply to the Food and Food Mansion... There are only five people, and the quota is limited."
He spoke slowly without any doubt. His voice was very light and with a strong affinity. His eyes swept over the big merchants in front of him one by one. None of them was left behind. Cooperating with his sunny and upright face, it was more convincing than Lu Lu, a tycoon.
Lu Lu was a little disappointed. He thought that as soon as he spoke, these merchants would definitely agree excitedly, but now he was a little uneasy. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip, "Everyone, I'm waiting for your reply."
"Jiancheng Hou, it's not that we don't believe you, but we still need to discuss this matter seriously..."
Several people replied with a smile.
The smile on Lu Lu's face gradually disappeared. He looked at everyone coldly, and then showed a rather creepy smile, "Okay, in three days, I need a reply. You guys, you have a rank and want to make a big profit in Chang'an. That's impossible. Sometimes, you must know why you can make money and why you can live... Don't lose your big ones because of the small."
Lu Lu drank the wine in his hand and placed it heavily on the eucalyptus.
The merchants lowered their heads and said nothing.
Lu Lu waved his hand, "No doubt, see off the guests."
Soon, Zhibuyi sent all these people out of the door, with very etiquette. After seeing them off, he returned to the upper floor and sat next to Lu Lu, "How should Mr. Lu intimidate them..."
"Ha, intimidation?"
Lu Lu glanced at him without a doubt, "You will know in three days."
...........
"Father Zhong!"
"Just lend it to me! I'll send it back to you later!
”
Zhou Sheng held Zhou Yafu's hand tightly and kept begging.
Zhou Yafu's face was as cold as ever, and he just shook his head, "How can a chariot be lent to you? No."
After a long war, Zhou Yafu rarely ushered in a long holiday. However, Zhou Yafu never married. Even during the holiday, he was still alone. Apart from the tri-sages, few people looked for him. Of course, these tri-sages are not just their first generation tri-sages, but also the second generation tri-sages. As the core character of the second generation tri-sages, Zhou Sheng almost stuck to his Zhongfu's side.
He really wanted to borrow Zhongfu's blood-stained chariot. The blood on the chariot could not be washed clean with water unless it was completely renovated. As the chariot dedicated to the main general, this chariot was larger than an ordinary carriage, and there were dangerous blades on both sides. In the eyes of the children, this chariot looked so beautiful. If it could get on the car and go around the city, how majestic it would be.
However, Zhou Yafu felt that the chariot was too dangerous. If he lent it to Youzi, he would definitely cause a big disaster.
"Father Zhong, what do you want me to do before you lend me a chariot?"
"I promise not to cause trouble. I swear in the name of my father!"
"If I cause trouble, let my father..."
Zhou Yafu looked at him suddenly, and Zhou Sheng couldn't say what he said, but just smiled foolishly, "Father Zhong, I will lend your chariot and sharpen it. In the future, I can follow you to the battlefield and get another title for our Zhou family! There is also a light on your face. Don't you want me to have a future? Don't you want me to inherit the brilliance of the Zhou family? Lend me the chariot!
”
Looking at Youzi's expression of "I hope you don't know the ungratefulness", Zhou Yafu still shook his head firmly, "No."
Zhou Sheng was very depressed and sat directly in front of Zhongfu, muttering without saying a word.
Zhou Yafu remembered something and asked, "Are you currently in the Imperial Academy?"
Zhou Sheng seemed to have lost his soul, and sat in front of Zhou Yafu, and said weakly: "Yes~~~"
Because Zhou Shengzhi got married first, his son was also a second-generation Qunxian, and now he has studied in the Imperial Academy. The rest of the people have not yet arrived at the Imperial Academy. Zhou Yafu asked, "Does your Imperial Academy teach military strategy?"
"There are daily exercises, and then we will read some military tactics and other things..."
"Which teacher asked you to read the art of war?"
"I don't remember, I'm from the Huang-Lao School."
Zhou Yaf frowned immediately. He hesitated for a moment, stood up, lowered his head, and looked at Zhou Sheng who had lost his soul, "Do you want to get on the chariot with me?"
"ah???"
Zhou Sheng raised his head suddenly, and his eyes lit up.
Zhou Yafu is frugal and has bad fortune. He always wears a strong and holds a sharp edge when going out. When traveling, he must be a chariot or a horse, which gives people an extremely sharp feeling. He got on the chariot. Zhou Sheng stood by excitedly and served as the left hand of the car. He was so happy that he screamed all the way, following Zhongfu on the street. That was different. Wherever he went, he looked awe-in-law. The soldiers who would stop him when they saw him were also busy paying homage.
Zhongfu just had a stern face, as if he couldn't see them. The young Zhou Sheng looked at Zhongfu with his eyes full of longing. This is the real man!
He really hoped that the chariot would not stop and kept driving like this. However, when he arrived at the destination, Zhongfu drove him down. What surprised Zhou Sheng was that Zhongfu's destination was actually the Imperial Academy!
Imperial school that teaches scholars is related to Zhongfu, who kills people like a murderer?
Zhou Sheng's eyes turned and he hurriedly said, "Father Zhong, you may not be familiar with me inside, I'll lead you in person."
“No need.”
Zhou Yafu directly ordered the soldiers to go in and report to the officials of the Imperial Academy, saying that the General Zhou Yafu, who was here to pay a visit.
That's right, Zhou Yafu is now promoted to the position of General of the Cycling and Cavalry by virtue of defeating the Huns and attacking the passageway. This is simply something that others dare not imagine. The previous one of the chariots and cavalry generals or the founding general Guan Ying can predict that sooner or later this guy will be able to become General of the Han Dynasty.
It can be seen that his title has a slight influence in Chang'an. He had just sent out the soldiers. Not long after, Fu Qiubo led many Imperial Academy priests to greet him. Fu Qiubo was even more so old that he was the first to pay homage to him. Zhou Yafu hurriedly stopped him, paid homage to him, and met with the rest of the people. Then he followed them into the Imperial Academy.
[To be honest, I have been using wild fruit reading to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud for many tones, www. Android and Apple are available.]
Zhou Sheng hurriedly called his classmates and asked him to help him call a few people.
At this moment, Zhou Yafu was wandering around the Imperial Academy as a distinguished guest. As a great marquis and a general of the great chariots, the mighty priests who were usually just smiling and did not hide their awe at all. Only Fu Qiubo stood beside Zhou Yafu, accompanied him to visit the Imperial Academy, and told many situations in the Imperial Academy.
"This is the North College, a place for students to rest. Our students have undergone strict assessments and are mostly from other places, so their daily lives need to be arranged. You see, there are restaurants here, and students occasionally bring wine in to drink, but I have never stopped them..."
"This is the school and the class place. You see, these are all rooms for different teachers. Students can choose a teacher at will, and then listen to his class. They can also learn from teachers and study more advanced knowledge..."
The Taixue School has always had two lines. The first route is to become an official, and the second route is academic research. Usually those with poor grades will become officials, while those with strong learning ability will become everyone. Even if the route of becoming an official is excellent and staying to study for a long time, you will get the opportunity to go directly to the Jiuqing Mansion to serve as a subordinate. In a sense, it is also considered a big shot.
Zhou Yafu nodded and asked, "I heard that you have a lesson on military tactics. I wonder if I can let me listen?"
Fu Qiubo was never sure why Zhou Yafu suddenly came to the Imperial Academy. After all, there was no communication between the two sides, but they still welcomed it with the highest standards. After all, there was no situation where literati looked down on martial arts at this time. The Han Dynasty still regarded martial arts as the most respectful. As a literati, if he could not fight, he would definitely be looked down upon. This led to many stories of joining the army. In this era, if you say these people are vulgar martial arts and openly express your disdain, the outcome might be very miserable.
As soon as Zhou Yafu spoke, Fu Qiubo knew about it. Could it be that he came for the military strategy class in the Imperial Academy?
Fu Qiubo asked, and then took Zhou Yafu to the teacher who taught military arts. Perhaps because of Zhou Yafu's sudden appearance, the teacher became a little excited and his words began to tremble. However, his teaching was just analyzing the books on military arts and telling the content of the books to students. After all, this is not even a teaching.
Fu Qiubo was a little embarrassed. When Zhou Yafu finished listening, he said embarrassingly: "After all, military strategy is not the main course..."
"Not hindrance, he has already tried his best to explain, and it is not easy."
Zhou Yafu had no intention of being picky, so he immediately led him to his study. Zhou Yafu sat in the upper position as expected. He originally wanted Fu Qiubo to sit in the upper position, but Fu Qiubo refused and said that it was not in line with etiquette.
"I can see that the Taixue School mainly cultivates top talents in all aspects. For example, in your medicine, everyone teaches everyone, and most of the people who listen to the lectures are for the purpose of becoming a medical master. They may become miraculous doctors in the future and discover many diseases. The same is true for agronomical science. The story is very thorough and well-informed, and I can't even understand it."
"But, I think it's time to set up another institution."
"Your medicine can teach you a lot in ten years. However, the lack of medical officials in the world is very serious. If you set up an institution and convene all the doctors in the world, you will not talk about the principles of diseases, but just tell them the rescue methods for basic diseases. After passing the assessment, you can solve the problem of insufficient medical officials in the shortest time."
"Set up a military art school, gather those meritorious soldiers, tell them about their simple military arts, solutions to different problems, and their requirements, and then the Han Dynasty will quickly obtain an extremely high combat force."
"Engineering and agriculture are the same principle. Quick success cannot make everyone, don't understand knowledge, but it is very useful."
