After settling Zhou Yafu, Liu Che took Chen Ajiao back to the Guantao Mansion.⊙
Guantao is still very useful!
Especially when it comes to Queen Mother Dou, her influence is almost at the level of a nuclear bomb.
And Liu Che was not afraid that Guantao would not take action.
This greedy Han Dynasty princess will not let go of any opportunity to make money.
The profits of Yantie Official Business are so huge, how could Guantao miss it?
What's more, Guantao is still very loyal.
At first, Deng Tong was arrested by the late emperor and imprisoned in Tingwei's prison. All his family property was confiscated. No one in the court dared to lend a helping hand to Deng Tong.
However, Guantao remembered his past friendship with Deng Tong (mainly business friendship) and sent someone to send him a reward of hundreds of thousands of dollars, hoping to make Deng Tong at least feel better in prison.
He even said many kind words for Deng Tong in front of Empress Dowager Dou, causing Empress Dowager Dou to issue an order for Tingwei to release Deng Tong.
But no one thought, the late emperor was more ruthless than everyone imagined!
The late emperor could not disobey the empress dowager's face.
But he turned a corner and caught a sore leg of Deng Tong: after Deng Tong's downfall, a department investigated him for corruption and misappropriation, and confiscated all his family property worth tens of millions.
After Deng Tong was released by Empress Dowager Dou, the late emperor announced that Deng Tong's confiscated family property was not enough to offset the shortfall caused by his corruption and misappropriation.
According to the calculations of the late emperor, Deng Tong still owed the court at least tens of thousands of dollars!
Therefore, the late emperor sent an official to follow Deng Tong day and night.
Guantao sent someone to send money over, but as soon as Guantao's envoy left, the official jumped out and took away the money that Guantao had given Deng Tong.
The reason is that repaying debts is a matter of course.
Guantao gave it away more than ten times. Deng Tong was robbed more than ten times.
After the robbery, Guantao had no choice but to order his subordinates to give Deng Tong only clothes and food.
However, even so, the official sent by the late emperor still robbed him without fail.
Poor Deng Tong was starved to death like this?
As the richest man in the Han Dynasty, he was a giant who could share the world's money-making market equally with King Wu Liu Bi. Even if he just went to beg, he could probably live a good life.
But from this incident, we can see that although Guantao has many shortcomings, he is definitely nostalgic and loyal.
Anyway, in his past life, Liu Che had never heard of Princess Guantao having any taint of accepting money and not doing anything.
Sure enough, after Guantao heard Liu Che's intention, he immediately agreed with a pat on his chest.
Of course Guantao knows how big the profits from salt and iron are.
At that time, Deng Tong only minted money and saved tens of millions of dollars in property.
The profits from salt and iron are higher than making money. After all, people can do without spending money, but they cannot do without eating salt.
And as long as the nephew and son-in-law of the emperor obtained the power of the salt and iron official camp, then she would definitely get a share of the pottery pie. Over the years, the most advantageous thing that the Liu family's Shaofu had poached was the pottery hall.
After getting Guantao's promise, Liu Che knew that Empress Dowager Dou had already half convinced him.
Empress Dowager Dou's doting on Guan Tao was beyond imagination.
Liu Che remembered it clearly. After the death of Empress Dowager Dou in her previous life, she left all the wealth and treasures in the East Palace to Guan Tao.
Unfortunately, that huge sum of money ultimately benefited Xiaozhu and his close associates.
For Sima Xiangru alone, the writing fee for writing a piece of Nagato Fu was one thousand gold...
After returning to the palace from Guantao's house, before Liu Che's butt was warmed up, Wang Dao came over and said: "Your Majesty, the Tingwei has something important to see..."
"Is it important?" Liu Che frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
Wang Dao handed a memorandum to Liu Che and said: "This is the memorandum from the Tingwei. Please read it..."
Liu Che took it and took a look, then shook his head indifferently: "What else do I care about? Go tell Wei Ting that such trivial matters should not be reported in the future..."
Wang Dao nodded and was about to go down and report to Zhao Yu.
Liu Che suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute... go and invite Ting Wei..."
Liu Che held the memorial paper and sighed in his heart, feeling slightly regretful and self-blame.
The things reported by Zhao Yu were either big or small.
How to understand it specifically? There may be different opinions in different periods.
Liu Che was also anxious about the affairs of the Yantie government camp. At first, he did not turn around and used the thinking of later generations to understand.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
What Zhao Yu reported was that the Tingwei Yamen discovered that in the past month or so, many places in Guanzhong counties had openly gathered people to drink alcohol under the guise of festive celebrations such as evening rituals.
Some people even married two concubines within a month so that they could drink with others.
This matter is really a small problem for future generations.
China's wine table culture has a long history, and many things can only be discussed at the wine table.
In fact, bars in various cities often stay open all night, with countless men and women getting drunk.
But, in this pre-Christian era.
This is a huge problem!
First of all, politically, if the practice of drinking among the people flourishes, it is easy to think of the sound of drinking wine in Chaoge City before the fall of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, general public opinion has believed that the death of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was due to the epidemic of alcoholism in the country, in addition to the scapegoat King Zhou.
The rural drinking ceremony of the Zhou Dynasty was designed to guide the people to establish correct drinking values in response to this reason for the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Secondly, an alcoholic society, before industrialization, was definitely the enemy of the country!
Even the later Emperor of the United States, who had entered the industrial era, once banned all alcohol trade and transactions.
Before there were drugs, alcohol was the most harmful soft drug to society.
A nation like Maozi who can knock out tanks while drinking vodka. In human history, besides Maozi, is there another nation?
In addition, for an agricultural society like the Han Dynasty, in a country where food security was a big problem, a large amount of food was used to make wine, which in itself was an unforgivable sin.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty has always strictly guarded against alcohol, and even the Han law forbids the gathering of more than three people to drink without reason. The local officials pursued this even more fiercely, and regarded the arrest of alcohol as a revenue-generating project.
However, Liu Che recently issued an edict that relaxed this prohibition.
Due to its importance and significance to the people, the Mujer is allowed to gather and drink openly, and local officials are not allowed to interfere.
This is a good policy.
However, humans can never resist the temptation of alcohol.
Especially for people in Guanzhong, wine is simply their second life.
All classes were addicted to alcohol, so much so that when the Han Dynasty troops went to war, rewarding them with wine and meat became a way to boost morale.
Now, these guys took advantage of Liu Che's opening and started an era of drinking.
Whether it is for public security, social order or politics, this is not a good thing. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
