"It's such a fun thing, but it's a pity that the renovation of the Naked Palace is too troublesome. Otherwise, this winter, we wouldn't have to look at those beautiful little faces that are blue and purple from the cold, and we wouldn't have to touch those delicate skins that are full of goosebumps.
"
Li Shushi was taken to a small tent by the young eunuch. Li Shushi felt that if he remembered correctly, he had not seen this tent when he ordered it yesterday. What surprised him even more was that there was something inside the tent.
A large kang about three meters long was built with bricks and stones. From a small hole under the big kang with flames coming out from time to time, it can be seen that it is actually a fire kang.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had already sat comfortably on the brocade quilt covered with precious furs and silk threads. He waved to Li Shushi with a happy face. However, he was still complaining about something, but Li Shushi directly complained about those things.
Ignore it. By the way, this kind of ginseng winner who is the real owner of the Crystal Palace is complaining about how embarrassing you are for a little virgin.
Li Shushi climbed onto the warm and soft fire bed, and then lost his balance because the brocade quilt was too soft and fell into a "falling goose style with buttocks backwards flat on the sand", so he once again deeply regretted the decadent feudal imperialist life in his heart.
Denounced.
As for Liu Hong, it seemed that he no longer looked dignified in front of Li Shushi as he did at the banquet. Instead, he looked at Li Shushi making a fool of himself with a joking expression, as if he had a rare private visit with his childish innocence. However, Li Shushi's "vaudeville" performance
Not bad either.
Seeing Li Shushi finally sitting down in a hurry but looking a little at a loss because he was facing the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong gently shook his finger at Zhao Zhong. Zhao Zhong saw the gesture and retreated.
It seemed that only Li Shushi and Liu Hong were left in the camp. Of course, this was impossible, as there were many places to hide people in the camp.
"Okay, let me talk to you about something serious first. As for the small things like rewards, it's okay to let my mother inform you later. Anyway, for a guy like you who is scrounging around, you won't like the little things I give you. I
Is that true?"
Seeing Li Shushi's surprised look, Liu Hong just curled his lips seemingly casually and finally continued.
"I still don't know what kind of guy Liu Xu is, but he can actually run all the way to the capital and take out money to move around. Who can believe it if you two don't have any deals? Also,
The capture of the Battle of Nanyang turned over by Zhu Jun. I have been the emperor for so many years, and I have prepared so much this time.
After a long time, how could you not know how many good things those powerful families and wealthy people have secretly hidden? Oh, by the way, you should know the relationship between Zhang Jiao and me, I remember he once secretly gave it to you
I wrote a letter, and since then you have gone to Zhang Jue. What I said is correct."
"You know everything, why are you asking me?" Li Shushi broke into a cold sweat when he heard that. His words and deeds were full of emotions, and his actions seemed not to escape the sight of the man with the highest power in front of him. Although
It seems that Liu Hong is so amiable now, but as the saying goes, the power of a king is unpredictable, and the next sentence may be "Pull him out and chop him down."
"What? Do you know that you are in danger now? You are a very courageous little slick guy. You said Liu Xu is just that. That is the money he gave you to buy your life. But in this battle in Nanyang, you have stretched out your hand.
Yours is a bit too long. Since you are Li Yan’s successor,
Sun, Tong Yuan's god-grandson, should probably know why the protagonist of the case in which Tong Yuan's son Tong Fei was involved died. If you don't know, I can tell you for free. An Emperor
Let me tell you a story, Tian En~"
Tong Yuan's son Tong Fei died in the second year of Han Guanghe, and the case that caused Tong Fei's unjust death was the famous case of selling an official position in Xiyuan by Wang Fu. Because the case was handled by Yang Qiu, a famously cruel official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so
As an important chess piece of the eunuch, Tong Fei, a subordinate of the famous general Duan Jiong, was betrayed.
After being beaten, he was executed. The reason why Wang Fu, who helped Liu Hong come to power, was abandoned by Liu Hong and handed over to Yang Qiu, a notoriously cruel official, was because Wang Fu was in Xiyuan.
Selling one's official position harmed the vital interests of Liu Hong, who also sold one's official position.
And now Liu Hong uses this incident to remind Li Shushi, the meaning is obviously self-evident. What's more, Li Shushi is very aware of the inside story of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and knows that Liu Hong is taking the opportunity to sort out those who do not take the central finance seriously.
Officials and powerful people.
But Li Shushi still didn't expect that Liu Hong would see through all his little thoughts. Of course, the most important thing was that his appetite seemed to be a bit bigger, and Liu Hong saw the clues, or Liu Hong thought that Li Shushi's quantity exceeded the limit.
This was his psychological bottom line, so he embarked on this journey of questioning. It can also be seen from this that Liu Hong reacts very quickly to anything related to money.
So, as expected, the calm and sunny atmosphere just now turned a bit sinister in an instant. Li Shushi felt as if he was in a huge whirlpool, and the huge power coming from the whirlpool was tearing his body apart.
think of king
What happened to Fu and Duan Ji? One was once Liu Hong's most trusted person, and the other was a famous general who solved the Dong Qiang problem that had troubled the Han Empire for decades.
Beat a poison-drinker to death.
"So, be afraid. Although businessmen are all greedy people, if they are too greedy, even people like Bai Gui and Shi Shi who can be regarded as the best in terms of money and power will inevitably end up.
will fall. In the final analysis, if they can be as kind to their neighbors as Yidun, a poor boy, then even if they will eventually decline due to various reasons, they can still have Yu Ze take care of them.
own descendants."
Seeing that Li Shushi was still there with his head lowered and acting like an ostrich, Liu Hong smiled slightly. Apparently he thought his performance today was very successful. However, there must be a degree of restraint, not to mention that he felt that Li Shushi and him could be called close friends.
Much better than those rotten Confucians who talk about Confucius, Mencius, and sages. As for the issue of greed, Liu Hong, who considers himself a qualified businessman, never believes that businessmen should give up greed, but should learn to control the desire and opportunity of greed.
That’s all.
"Okay, stop pretending to be dead. If I want to kill you, you don't need me to step in. Besides, your wine is delicious, your bed is warm, and your soybean oil is very fragrant. Let me see, if
If you can be a businessman with peace of mind, I'm afraid you will be a good businessman.
It's a pity that I have to be the emperor and you also need to pursue an official career to find a good future for your family and your subordinates. Otherwise, if the two of us join forces, we will definitely become as rich as Tao Zhugong and Yidun.
But he is a wealthy businessman from an enemy country."
Li Shushi did not comment on Liu Hong's yy, but considering Liu Hong's greedy but absolutely honest style of selling his official position and winning titles, Li Shushi really felt that this emperor might have really chosen the wrong person, just like the one who later became the Ming Dynasty.
The same as the Carpenter Emperor. Moreover, the Carpenter Emperor had far less power than the Han Emperor. He was extremely depressed by the restrictions of the cabinet, but this one could do whatever he wanted, and even organized annual major events such as the Yellow Turban Uprising.
"Leave your wine-making process to me. Although your wine is delicious, why can't you sell more of it? My parents have to send someone to keep an eye on your wine shop every day. But
Well, I am a reasonable businessman and I will not take advantage of you in vain. I also have some recipes for making wine, you can try it, and I allow you to put up a sign for tribute wine, how about it."
"Do you need me to pay for it every year?" When it came to business, Li Shushi's impression immediately changed. This also made Liu Hong more convinced that the little guy opposite him was just like him and should become a businessman. That's right.
, he was originally a popular candidate for a grocery store clerk, secretary, acting shopkeeper, and servant shopkeeper. If a guy named Lu Bu hadn't appeared next to him, I'm afraid this kid would still be counting money in Youzhou. Well, or those of his
Maybe Tong Yuan drank all the wine?
"How can those stupid guys of yours make the best wine? There is no need to offer it, but if you insist on showing the difference between the wine you make and the skills of our most outstanding winemakers,
If there is a gap, then I don’t mind showing it to you, it’s free~”
At this time, Liu Hong also looked like a profiteer. Two young men with great potential for profiteers were together. Perhaps if some historians saw it, Li Shushi would be comparable to people like Yi Ya. But in Li Shushi's view
Come on, Yi Ya is not easy either. If he really becomes Yi Ya, then he will go directly to open a high-end restaurant, and he will probably become a genius, and then he will become a ginseng winner more easily.
"Okay, let's talk about something you should say as an emperor. I don't need to pursue the money you collected this year, but I hope you can stabilize the Huns, Wuwan and Xianbei people in Bingzhou for me.
.You can do whatever you want, I only care about the outcome
Regardless of the process, as long as you can ensure that those Hu people do not echo the Xiqiang rebels, I will let you do whatever you want. When I first read the records of the historians, I was thinking that compared to the officials we sent, those Hu people were obviously more
Welcome our caravan."
"Because caravans can bring them real benefits, and officials usually plunder their wealth, that's why those officials who are honest and fair are so popular with foreigners."
Regarding Liu Hong's emotion, Li Shushi couldn't help but add that this view was too common for him. Isn't the famous saying of a famous hegemonic country "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
What.
"Yes, it's just like what you said. So I think you can make some changes to stabilize our border. If you can do it, I can let you alone in the four counties of Xihe, Shangjun, Wuyuan and Shuofang.
You can do it, or I can set up a new position and let you take charge of the affairs of the four counties. I need a method, a method that no longer consumes the national power of the Han Dynasty, do you understand?"
After Liu Hong said that, he started to talk nonsense. One person is the governor of four places. Even if the central government of those places has the intention to give up, it is impossible for him to act like this. But, since he can take charge of the new position of the four counties? Isn't that right?
Li Shushi can imagine the treatment of Bingzhou Mu. Anyway, by the time he gets the situation under control, Liu Yan should have gone to Yizhou to become the local emperor. So, Li Shushi also started to get a little involved in YY...
p.s. There is actually another explanation for Dutinghou, that is, this is not a marquis, but an official position. Because there were a total of twelve city gates in Luoyang in the Han Dynasty, and each city gate was manned by city gate captains and Sima officials.
, each gate has a "hou" who is responsible for guarding the city gate affairs. And each city gate has a pavilion, which serves as
It is the place where the troops guarding the city gate are stationed. Therefore, another explanation for Dutinghou can also be considered as the "hou" official in the city's Liting place. As for Duxianghou, although no specific explanation has been found, from Dutinghou
By analogy, it can also be regarded as the "Marquis" officers stationed in the countryside around the city. This is hereby added.
