Liu Chan had long thought that there might be someone who was not afraid of his own power and would come to ruin his situation. In his mind, this person was probably Sun Ce. However, he never thought that he would finally help everyone express their feelings to him.
He was dissatisfied that the person who wanted to mess with his family was actually his father. After hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Chan's expression suddenly changed.
However, Liu Bei ordered without caring: "Let him come over!"
Liu Chan did not dare to refuse, so he could only call a servant and ask Wang Erlang to come. Wang Erlang came here with some fear. When he got closer, Liu Bei and Sun Jian immediately recognized him. Liu Bei smiled and said: "
Just now I felt something familiar, it turned out to be Erlang selling meat porridge, hahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
"Meet Sikong." Wang Erlang also knew their identities at this moment, and quickly met with Liu Bei and then Sun Jian.
"Wang Erlang, we are just hearing the wonderful things, why don't you continue talking?" Sun Jian asked with some displeasure.
Without waiting for Wang Erlang to explain, Liu Chan said: "This is what I ordered, and this will be the way of business here in the future..."
"Huh, what way? This is not good, not good. Just change it and let him tell the whole story today!" Liu Bei said unhappily. Liu Chan was a little embarrassed and lowered his voice and said: "Ah
Father, only in this way will they come again tomorrow. If the story is finished in one day, what will happen tomorrow??"
Liu Bei still didn't agree. He looked around and said: "You see so many people are still unfinished. What does money mean? Let's just say it all at once!" In the eyes of Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, money is indeed
It is nothing, but among the famous men and ministers of the Han Dynasty, some are greedy for wine and fame, but few are greedy for money. For them, money may be the most unworthy thing.
But Liu Chan doesn't think so. Isn't it just for money that he does so many things? If he follows his father's words, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts?
Liu Chan was still hesitating, but Liu Bei was already a little angry. He frowned and asked, "What? You still don't do it?"
Liu Chan raised his head and said, "My child has his own ideas, but I'm afraid he won't be able to follow them!"
"Oh? That's okay." Liu Bei nodded, then chatted with Sun Jian, and never mentioned the matter again. Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little confused. He thought he was going to suffer from his father again.
He cursed suddenly, but he didn't expect that he would be convinced so easily. This made Liu Chan a little confused, but he had a lot to do, so he didn't stay here any longer.
It wasn't until Liu Bei and Sun Jian decided to leave that Liu Chan stopped in front of them. Looking at Liu Chan's smiling face, Liu Bei said impatiently: "What? Is there anything else?"
"Father, father-in-law, this courtyard and pavilion is still nameless, please give me a name for the courtyard!" Liu Chan said seriously and bowed to Liu Bei. Liu Bei heard this, thought for a moment, and said: "I see you
This courtyard is all about the virtuous and loyal, so let’s call it Xu Xian Yuan..." Liu Chan was overjoyed and looked at Sun Jian again and said, "I hope my father-in-law will give the pavilion a name."
Sun Jian stroked his long beard happily and said slowly: "Why don't you just call me Jincailou."
"Huh?? Enter the financial building??" Liu Chan was stunned immediately, his eyes widened, and he was speechless. Sun Jian asked: "Don't you feel bad??"
"Ah, that's not the case, it's good, it's good!" Liu Chan forced out a smile, and everyone congratulated them one after another. Sikong and Taiwei then left the place. They did not sit in the carriage and sat there for a long time.
, it would be better to take a walk to feel more comfortable. While walking on the road, Liu Bei just asked: "Why did you choose such a name? Hahaha, didn't you see that Chan'er's face was blue..."
"Oh, what's wrong with me getting a name?"
"Vulgar, too vulgar."
"Hahaha, the name you picked is for the famous scholars. The name I gave is for the common people. His courtyards and pavilions are not only visited by the scholars. It is easier to choose a name.
His name is also full of joy and can spread among the people more quickly. I am also thinking about him."
"such a pity..."
"It's a pity that I can no longer eat that meat porridge."
The first opening was very good, especially the story of Erlang, which attracted countless people. Word of mouth spread, and the name of Xuxianyuan spread so much. Liu Chan's running around was indispensable, and Liu Chan found a lot of people.
, specially came to spread the news about Xuxian Yuan. After only a period of time, Xuxian Yuan became very popular in Luoyang. Countless people came here and it was overcrowded. Such a huge courtyard could not accommodate so many visitors.
.
Liu Chan did not hesitate, and prepared to set up branches in several other counties in the Sili area. In his mind, Xuxian Academy was going to be spread in every corner of the Han Dynasty. It was not the only one who saw the prospects of Xuxian Academy.
Liu Chan alone.
Houde Hall.
Yuan Shang placed the relevant documents in front of the emperor.
Liu Xi picked up the document with some doubts, but after just reading it for a moment, he laughed, shook his head and said, "Xianfu, why are you doing this? The child of the Sikong family opened a wine shop.
, you also want to come and report to me in person?"
"Your Majesty, this is not a wine shop. It is a place where you can have dinner and have dancers. It has only been developed for a month and has become more complete. It has everything you need. If it develops, it will definitely be spread throughout the Han Dynasty."
"So what? If you die, you are just a merchant. Isn't it great that the children of the Sikong family can work hard and be self-reliant, even if they are just merchants."
"Your Majesty, I think the Embroidered Clothes Envoy can send a large number of people into Xuxian Courtyard. It is more convenient to inquire about information here than other places..." Yuan Shang said seriously. Liu Xi listened to Yuan Shang's words and just clicked.
He nodded and said with a smile: "Xianfu, you are my eyes and ears. You don't have to come and report these matters to me in person. Just make your own decisions."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Shang paid his respects.
While the two were chatting, Qi Yue suddenly called out from outside the door: "Shang Shu ordered Xun Yu to pay his respects to Your Majesty!"
Liu Xi was stunned and looked at Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang bowed to the emperor and then walked out. When he reached the entrance of the palace, he saw Xun Yu who was waiting. Yuan Shang bowed to him and left. Xun Yu
She watched him leave thoughtfully, and then walked into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
." Xun Yu stood up slowly and looked at the emperor. Liu Xi frowned and looked a little angry.
"Mr. Xunling, why are you here again to inquire about my outing?"
Xun Yu looked calm, bowed to the emperor again, and said: "I am guilty!"
"What is your crime?"
"I revealed the emperor's itinerary to Deng Ai and asked him to wait for his majesty outside the city. I wanted your majesty to see the polder method with his own eyes."
"I saw it, Ling Gong has done a great job."
Xun Yu didn't defend himself, he just stood there, very magnanimous, with his head lowered and silent.
Liu Xi sighed, and then said: "Mr. Xun, if you want me to pay attention to farming and mulberry, you can just submit a memorial. Why do you need to do this? No one can reveal my itinerary.
As a minister, how could you not know this?"
"I am guilty, and I hope your Majesty will punish you."
"I will fine you a year's salary!"
"Sincerely."
"Okay, Duke, please sit down." Liu Xi waved and asked Xun Yu to sit in front of him, and then said: "This time, this matter has passed like this, I don't care about it anymore, but if
I won't forgive you next time!" Xun Yu thanked him, and Liu Xi said seriously: "I also sent people to check what Deng Ai told me that day, and he didn't cheat.
I...."
"Farming and mulberry farming are a major national plan and we cannot let our guard down. Let Deng Ai carry out the decrees related to farming and mulberry trees. The Minister of Public Affairs should help him more..."
Xun Yu nodded.
"Hey, my ministers, none of them have time to spare. Kong Ming and others are busy compiling new laws, Liu Ba is busy issuing banknotes, and Deng Ai is busy promoting polders...Yesterday, Cao Chong made another report, saying that he wanted to change
Tax law... I literally can't have a day off!!" Liu Xi seemed angry, but Xun Yu could see that the emperor was in a good mood and couldn't hide his pride.
The emperor loves talents, and he is not afraid of being busy. Seeing these ministers come up with more policies, the emperor felt indescribably proud and happy. Liu Xi smiled and asked: "Cao Chong's memorial, Shangshu
Ling has also seen it?"
"I have never seen it."
Liu Xi picked up a memorial from the case and handed it to Xun Yu.
, but the areas involved were a bit messy, and some areas were vacant, so Cao Chong wanted to formally determine the taxes.
Xun Yu turned to the end to see what taxes he wanted to enact.
"Increase tax on goods?" Xun Yu saw the first one and was already confused. What is this? Xun Yu raised his head in confusion and looked at Liu Xi. Liu Xi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
: "The so-called increase in goods refers to the added value generated during the circulation and processing of today's commodities. Doesn't Mr. Xun Ling know this?"
"Your Majesty is a great talent, but I don't know about it!"
"Expenses tax...business tax, big merchant tax, resource tax, forest tax, house tax...vehicle and boat tax...carriage purchase tax, boat tax..." There are sixteen items in total of these taxes, and Xun Yu was fascinated by them.
They were all confused. He had never read a book on this subject and didn't know much about taxation. Even Xun Yu couldn't understand what Cao Chong wrote. Fortunately, Liu Xi, who was standing by, calmly helped to explain.
The meaning of taxes.
"Xun Linggong, what do you think?"
"This... I am stupid and I don't know."
Liu Xi then said proudly: "Since Xun Linggong still doesn't understand it, I will explain it one by one for Xun Linggong."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qi Yue, who was standing at the gate of the palace, also looked at the emperor with admiration. The country was giving Shangshu Ling some guidance. This is such a rare thing. The country is a great talent. Although Cao Chong entered the palace yesterday and informed the country in detail one by one.
, but this does not hinder my respect for the country's profound knowledge.
ps: It’s not easy to organize an event, but no one came to participate. Lao Lang’s heart feels so cold. Let’s do this. For every five people who participate in the book review activity to praise Lao Lang’s handsomeness and talent, Lao Lang will add another chapter.
Everyone can do the math.
After I finish handing in the first draft of my graduation thesis tomorrow morning, I will watch the number of people participating in the event explode.
