"This is the IQ tax." Chen Xi sighed and said, another fool, that thing is really not worth that much money. The ones on the market with certificates are all dozens of times more expensive.
"If this is an IQ tax, I'll be happy to pay it." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi with an unhappy face. This was true. For Lu Su, if he could deal with his wife, he would still be very willing to pay this IQ tax. , to be precise this is not a problem at all.
"So many times, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and there is nothing I can do about it." Chen Xi spread his hands and said helplessly, "This matter will stop here. No need to say more. After all, it is also a matter for our Han Dynasty. Good thing, no need to spend money on Roma."
"Let it go?" Liu Ye smacked his lips and said, then looked at Liu Tong, who was sitting on the throne in high spirits, and after thinking about it, he accepted this fact.
After the Yuan family paid tribute, other people's gifts were quite stingy. Even if Sun Ce was very generous and brought two buckets of pearls and a coral that was more than ten feet long, it was still compared to the Yuan family who took money as money. There is a very big gap.
However, despite this, Liu Tong still received a large number of rare treasures. Naturally, many people praised the ministers. He hoped that the ministers would still fight for the country and create a new era.
In this way, Yuan Feng's first court meeting in four years ended in this atmosphere filled with the joy of the eldest princess. When she left, Liu Tong was a little moody. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, just like this The happiest day for Liu Tong was to receive gifts and so on. It was so happy.
"Let's go back and count the gifts." Liu Tong excitedly pulled Si Niang and ran towards his private treasury. As for the previous internal funds, Liu Tong didn't have any from the beginning.
After Chen Xi killed the young master, the emperor's internal funds were merged into the national treasury. From then on, Liu Tong lived on money allocated by the state. To a certain extent, this was more in line with the Gongyang faction's idea of "the emperor and the emperor", and the emperor also The government needs to provide a salary, which perfectly fits the "Emperor and One Lord".
In short, since Liu Tong took office, he has not had a department dedicated to managing his own money like the previous Shaofu. However, even if he does not have a department to manage his own property, he has relied on the past four years of "frugaling" and receiving gifts during the New Year. , Liu Tong still accumulated a lot of wealth.
Of course, these wealth are luxuries such as gold, silver and jade, rather than money in the real sense. Of course, Liu Tong does not need money. What Liu Tong likes is the process of accumulating treasures little by little, and now he sees his own warehouse With boxes full of treasures, as well as various gold, stone, antiques, paintings and calligraphy from sages, Liu Tong felt a sense of accomplishment.
"It's actually filled up so quickly." Liu Tong looked at the full warehouse with a sense of silly joy, "I originally thought it would take a long time to fill up. I remember that my father also had such a warehouse when he was in Luoyang, but It’s never full.”
"Yes, it's so fast. There are so many treasures, especially the gifts given by the Yuan family and the Sun family are really sincere." Si Niang's eyes were also shining with treasure. As long as she is a woman, she can be as young as eighty or eight years old. Be it goddesses or fairies, they will all be interested in shiny things.
Just like Si Niang's eyes are shining now, it's so dazzling. Although these things can't be eaten or used up, they can't stand it. Both Liu Tong and Si Niang's eyes are shining.
"By the way, the old Yuan family also sent an emerald mine. Ah, I'm going to send someone to receive it." Liu Tong said excitedly, "My favorability towards the Yuan family has increased by 100 recently, how about you?"
"Me too!" Si Niang grabbed Liu Tong's hand and looked at her charmingly. For the sake of so many treasures, Si Niang wouldn't care about a little favorability.
"Well, but I want to send half of it to Mount Tai." Liu Tong suddenly said, very hesitant when he spoke, but his expression was quite determined.
If he didn't know that Liu Xie was still alive, Liu Tong could just live on his own, but now that he knew that his brother was still alive, Liu Tong couldn't help but give Liu Xie a share of the gifts he received now. Although these things are completely inedible, it is quite good to keep them at home to improve your luck. What's more, Liu Xie really didn't enjoy these things during his time in court.
"So heartbroken!" Si Niang said immediately covering her left breast after hearing this.
"You heartless guy." Liu Tong reached out and poked Si Niang's left breast, and then said firmly, "Whether you agree or not, I will give half of it to my brother. He has never had the chance to see him before. These things are now living in seclusion in Taishan County, and they cannot be short-lived."
"You just want me to confirm your thoughts. You can speak with your conscience!" Si Niang said with a look of despair. There is no way, there are so many rare treasures, just click, half of them are missing, Si Niang It was also very heartbreaking, after all, she had such a small share.
"I can't feel it!" Liu Tong patted his chest, "I used to be dry, and I could feel my heartbeat with my hand, so I can touch my conscience and say, but now I can't feel it, how can I touch my conscience?" Say, hey, why don’t I touch you!”
Liu Tong went over with a paw, and then his heart stopped...
"You damn girl, I'm here to beat you!" Liu Tong angrily picked up a one-foot-long jade Ruyi from his treasury and chased after Si Niang.
Liu Tong has basically determined that Si Niang is a living person. Although he doesn’t know how he was created, she is definitely a human being. However, Si Niang has a characteristic that most immortals have, that is, gathering and dispersing to form Qi. However, Si Niang seems unable to maintain this method for too long.
Normal immortals basically have no time limit in this regard. The time it takes to disperse into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can last almost forever. Si Niang can only maintain it for a period of time, but a period of time is enough. For example, now, Liu Tong reaches up with a claw, Si Niang didn’t even have a heartbeat.
After being beaten up by Yu Ruyi, Liu Tong finally went back with satisfaction, while Si Niang changed her clothes and came out again. Liu Tong said that the past was in the past and would not be held accountable.
"Speaking of which, it's not easy to send these things away." Si Niang said with some distress as she looked at the treasures full of treasures.
"Yes, we have to find a professional escort team, and they have to be very reliable. If this is lost, even if it can be found, we will be embarrassed." Liu Tong touched his cheek and started his brain said.
"Do we need a professional escort team?" Si Niang suddenly asked, "Don't we have regular troops?"
"That's too much noise. It's obvious that the emperor's intention is to deal with it coldly, and it's not good to expose my brother." Liu Tong curled his lips and said, she is not without political acumen, don't look at her often messing around. But none of the taboo lines were touched.
As for the successor after the Yuanfeng Dynasty and Chen Xi's retirement, it is not Liu Tong's business. Besides, the current factions in the Central Plains are very obvious, but no matter what faction they are, this Yuanfeng Dynasty is all nonsense. , we have to wait until the next day to talk.
It can be said that he knows who will succeed Liu Tong in the next dynasty. There is no doubt that it will be Liu Chan. Even if Liu Bei can give birth to other sons, Liu Chan will have an absolute advantage.
As for the factional conflicts that have obviously intensified after Liu Chan came to power, to be honest, there is still an uncle in Weiyang Palace!
Although this uncle is limited by Yuxi's inability to make progress, there is no problem in holding the center, unless someone is so unlucky that someone can take action at the core of the country's military politics and the Four Saints of Military Strategies, and still win the final victory.
To be honest, if you really encounter that kind of situation, the factional dispute is just a joke. If you are so strong, there is no need to talk about disputes. I'm afraid it's not what the big boss needs.
All in all, Liu Tong sits in the highest position, has already seen the situation in the world, and even has some predictions about the future, so he knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"There are still sixteen years left in the Yuanfeng Dynasty. As long as I don't deliberately step on the red line in these sixteen years, this generation can be passed as easily as the previous three years." Liu Tong looked at Si Niang sincerely.
"Uncle Huang is not afraid of anyone rebelling, that's why I am in this position, because anyone else sitting in this position will investigate what happened in the previous ten years, including Uncle Huang himself, because they are all political groups , not an individual, only I don’t have a political group behind it." Liu Tong said with a smile as he looked at the various rare treasures in his funds.
"At that time, it seemed that there were other candidates, but in fact they were all impossible. When Zong Zheng and Da Honglu came to power, they would definitely liquidate Sikong and General Hussar, and conduct a thorough investigation of the Chang'an fire. It was impossible for Liu Ziyang to come to power. The elders and younger ones are in order, and there are differences between kings and ministers. As for Yizhou Mu, they probably need to liquidate three families." Liu Tong sighed and said, "Even if they are unwilling to do this, the forces behind them will push it."
Si Niang looked at Liu Tong's confusion and didn't understand what he was saying at all.
What is this? Why did the topic suddenly change to this? Aren’t we talking about giving away half of the rare treasures? Why can't I understand suddenly?
"Just find a professional escort team to send them away. There should be such a group in the country." Liu Tong looked up and recalled the escort teams in his impression. It seemed that there was one that had just emerged in the past two years, but it was spread all over the Central Plains and its reputation was particularly guaranteed. Escort group.
"Oh, I'll have someone check it out." Si Niang nodded and said.
"By the way, I have money this time. I use my own money to distribute cakes to children under the age of twelve. Hehehe, I was not sincere enough in the past few times. This time I can finally use Chen Zichuan's money." Liu Tong said happily.
Last year's cakes, rice dumplings, and mooncakes were all produced and distributed by Chen Xi after receiving Liu Tong's ideas. Liu Tong deeply believed that this was not sincere enough and would not accumulate enough merit. This time he finally got it. You can make your own money!
