I just found out today that there has been no update for mobile reading for five days. I am a little depressed. Wireless is probably going to stop updating. If you like this book, then come to 17K and you will be able to finish it smoothly.

Wuming is a very good bodyguard. Not only can he scout people, he has good martial arts skills, but also rarely talks. When Su Ren and Liu Che talked, they did not avoid him, but Wuming knelt down and quietly talked to the two of them.
The used dinner plates were cleared away, tea was poured for the two of them, and they were kept waiting.
Seeing that Su Ren was silent, Liu Che asked, "You don't agree?"
Su Ren nodded slightly: "Now that the Huns are in a civil war, it does appear to be a good opportunity, but I think that as long as we intervene, the Huns will immediately stop their internal fighting and unite to deal with us. We must be the only ones to the Huns.
He is the biggest enemy. The purpose of keeping Li Shaojun in the Xiongnu is to make the internal strife of the Xiongnu even more chaotic. To disrupt their faith is to dig out the roots. In addition, there is a group of horse thieves like Thorns running rampant everywhere. The Huns will be in trouble for at least ten years.
It’s nothing to worry about.”
"Ten years!" Liu Che leaned back, and Wuming neatly placed a soft cushion on the pillar behind Liu Che to prevent the emperor from feeling uncomfortable leaning against the pillar: "Isn't ten years too long?"
Su Rendao: "Ten years is indeed too long. Your Majesty is almost thirty now. In ten years, you and I will be forty years old. No one knows whether we will still have ambitions at that time, but Your Majesty should know this."
The battle of Cima Yi cost my great man a lot. The loss of 200,000 soldiers and horses was not very big, but it caused a huge drain on the national treasury. Let me tell you this, when the national treasury is exhausted, in case the Huns have not been wiped out.
, what should your Majesty do?"
Without waiting for Liu Che to answer, Su Ren said: "The land of the Xiongnu is vast and boundless. If we just occupy it, it will make no sense. If we want to move the population or garrison troops, we need constant investment. The Han people are not good at grazing, and we cannot grow food in the desert.
At that time, no matter how much food your Majesty sent to the north, it was not enough to eat. In other words, we occupied a useless land. Not only did we have no output, we had to keep investing. However, our Han Dynasty treasury has been exhausted, so we can only continue to ask for it from the people and pay it back again and again.
OK, as time passes, no one can guarantee whether the people will be like the people in the late Qin Dynasty."
"There are still kings in Guandong who are watching eagerly. His Majesty's decree cannot get out of Hulao Pass. This is the biggest hidden danger. I have heard people say this before, saying that when fighting foreigners, you must first pacify your homeland. It sounded ridiculous at first. I don't know how to pacify the outside world.
Well, now that I think about it, it makes some sense. As long as the world is unified and our Han people are rich, whether your majesty is going to conquer the north or the south will all depend on your majesty's will, so why act in a hurry."
Liu Che leaned against the pillar and said nothing for a long time, closing his eyes slightly and thinking about Su Ren's words.
Su Ren continued: "It has been a hundred years since the Han Dynasty was founded, and the current situation was reached only during the Wenjing rule. Your Majesty certainly doesn't want to have only the posthumous title of Emperor Wu in a hundred years, right?"
Liu Che chuckled: "You can see really far."
"If a person has no long-term worries, he will have short-term worries, and the same is true for the country. Your Majesty is the helmsman of our big man. Without such a vision, I dare not imagine where we, the big man, will end up. Therefore, your majesty's vision is already far-sighted, and you want to see
It will take a hundred or even a thousand years for the country to be famous for thousands of years." At this point, Su Ren smiled: "How about I recommend someone to your majesty?"
"Oh? Tell me, I'll listen."
"Do you still remember His Majesty Sang Hongyang who accompanied me to Mayi?"
Liu Che nodded.
Su Rendao: "This boy is very talented, especially in the field of money. This time he was the one who took over the business with the merchants in Mayi. The profit from the business and military exploits turned into the court getting no less than 100,000 yuan, and whether he was a merchant or a merchant
The soldiers are all happy. If your Majesty uses this person to be the chief agricultural officer, I believe that the treasury will be full again within two years."
Liu Che smiled and said: "When it comes to business profits and military exploits, I have to ask who gave you the courage to do this? Han Anguo, Li Guang and others received so many benefits from you, but they all remained silent and even asked me to accompany you to read
After being lured in, you go and take a look next door. All the memorials in that room are to impeach you."
"Play it! It has been sold anyway, and it is impossible to get it back. No one, whether it is merchants, soldiers, or those who bought military honors and war profits, will spit it out again. The people who impeached me are because they are jealous.
That’s all.”
"Hehehe!" Liu Che smiled: "However, the idea you gave Sang Hongyang is a good one. It doesn't cost the court a single cent but you get a hundred thousand dollars. It's quite interesting. What kind of trick is this?"
"Qianzhuang!" Su Rendao said: "Qianzhuang is different from the treasury. It does not produce money. It just provides a direction for the flow of money, which is also convenient for merchants and people. As long as a bank is established in every county of the Han Dynasty, your majesty can say that it is a bank.
You have got all the money in the world in your hands! Don’t be happy, this is also risky. All the people are willing to put their money in the bank because they trust the court. If they find out that His Majesty has squandered all the money in the bank,
No matter how squandering it is, there is only one outcome, and that is the end of the big man!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Simple, take us as an example. The poor interest is just one of the reasons why I let you keep my money. The most important thing is that it is safe and convenient to leave it with you. I believe you will not miss my money, but
When I find out that you put my money in your pocket, what do you think I will do? I will definitely come to you and fight for it without any hesitation!"
Liu Che thought for a while and nodded: "Does this have advantages and disadvantages?"
"That's natural. As for how to do it, Your Majesty can discuss it with Sang Hongyang. My suggestion is not to make it too big at the beginning. Now let's try the water in Mayi. It won't be too late to gradually promote it when everything is straightened out. This is money.
Let’s talk about the problem, as well as appeasing the people and the kings and other matters later. I’m hungry. I’ll let you eat a plate of braised pork alone. Go get me some food. When you come to the palace, you don’t care about the food. Your Majesty is too stingy!”
Liu Che laughed and waved his hand for Wuming to go down and prepare. Every time he talked to Su Ren, Liu Che had a refreshing feeling, which made Liu Che feel comfortable and a little confused at the same time. He didn't understand that all the whimsical thoughts in Su Ren's head were
How did it come about? Could it be that it was really taught by his master, but why did he send people to search for Wenling for a long time but couldn't find any clues? It was as if Su Ren suddenly jumped out and had no connection with anyone in the world.
Wuming was still an honest person, so he just brought a pot of stewed meat over, together with the stove below. When the meat palm was placed on the copper stove, he could smell the aroma of the barbecue, and he didn't even blink. Su Ren looked at Wuming's palm.
He glanced at him, indicating that he could go down and take care of the burn first, but Wuming did not leave. He turned to look at Liu Che. Liu Che said, "Look what I am doing, you are his now." Wuming then bowed and retreated.
The meat in the pot was cooking loudly. Su Ren inserted a piece of meat with a knife and put it on the plate in front of him, and poured some seasoning on it: "The taste of meat cooked in white water is really bad. The beef tastes like cow excrement."
, mutton has a tangy smell, and even pork tastes like wax. I don’t know how you swallow it. Here is a recipe. When cooking the meat, add some ginger, star anise, longan, tangerine peel, and if there is cinnamon, etc.
The spices are better, so that the cooked meat can be eaten by people."
Liu Che still leaned on the pillar and lowered his buttocks, trying to make himself more comfortable: "Wouldn't that mean the taste of meat would be gone?"
"How could it not be? It's just a little bland. The taste is meant to trick the tongue. If you eat it, it will turn into shit. As long as it's nutritious, why not make it more delicious?"
Liu Che glanced at Su Ren: "I'm afraid the cattle and sheep won't agree to such a meal."
"Who cares? He was killed before we could eat it. So what if we don't want to?"
"What about the other spices?"
"Spices are meant to be used. They can only turn into fly ash when stored in the warehouse. It is the best way for them to use them where they should be used. Even if they are lost, it is nothing. After picking this year, there will definitely be more next year."
There may be more.”
"Hahaha..." Liu Che laughed, pointed at Su Ren and said: "I think I am already cruel, but I didn't expect you to be more cruel than me. The academy is the spice base you prepared for me, right?"
Su Ren said nothing and concentrated on dealing with the mutton chops in front of him. He ate a large piece of mutton chops and drank all the tea in the cup. He wiped his hands casually in his robe and said, "There is another one.
I suggest that if your majesty does not want to let your poor spices be ruined in the hands of a pot of rotten meat, I think it is better and more reliable to take advantage of the victory in Mayi to summon the kings to Chang'an."
"So what do you mean?"
"Dozens of houses have been built on the back hill of Lou Guan Academy over the past year. All the kings are wealthy owners. Lou Guan Academy is home to outstanding people, beautiful mountains and clear waters. If the kings live in such a good place, they will probably not want to leave again.
Okay, and then it depends on Your Majesty's preference how you want to organize Guandong! By the way, I will recommend someone to Your Majesty. This person is a student of Louguan Academy. He studied Legalism and has achieved great success. He has gained experience in Tingwei Mansion.
It will definitely be of great use.”
"Oh? Can Louguan Academy cultivate talents so quickly?"
"That's natural. This man's name is Zhang Tang. His father is a jailer. He has been in prison since he was a child. Over the years, he has become very familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty. What makes me even more optimistic is that this man is more ruthless than me. As long as he
If your Majesty uses it well, the kings will not dare to leave even if they want to."
Liu Che took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and walked back and forth in the room. After walking for a long time, Su Ren watched the whole time without saying a word. Suddenly Liu Che stepped forward and kicked the meat that was still stewing in front of Su Ren.
He kicked over the pot, glared and said angrily: "You villain, you are just a villain, what ideas do you have for me? Come on, kick this slanderer out!"
A large group of Yulin guards broke into the announcement room. Su Ren chuckled, patted his butt and stood up. He walked out with his head held high and a smile on his face. He didn't care at all about Liu Che's scolding. He was walking in front. He was eighteen years old.
Shangguan Jie led the Yulin Guards and walked behind Su Ren. When he stepped out of the gate of Jianzhang Palace, Su Ren turned to Shangguan Jie and smiled: "Not bad, Wei Qing still has a useful person." (To be continued.)
