Even though we know that the gods and Buddhas are empty, we still have to pray for rain for the sake of the people.
This matter was settled just like that. But Wu Nian still had doubts and raised his head and said: "The so-called sacrifice to heaven. If it is done on a small scale, it will not be [sincere] enough. If it is done on a large scale, it will waste money."
"Although I don't know exactly how much money we have left in our treasury now. But I definitely don't know much. What are you going to do?"
Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "It's not just that there are not many. The officials in charge of the warehouse are afraid that they will lose their jobs."
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment before he understood Liu Zhixing's self-deprecating words.
"Hey." Wu Nian sighed and looked at Liu Zhixing's face. He has aged and lost weight over the years.
It's so arrogant.
He was able to arrange the second house clearly and nothing happened. Liu Zhixing is a great hero. And we should have been counting on the copper and silver transactions with the Kyogoku family to breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result, a drought hit and a lot of food was bought at high prices. It has reached the point where the officials who look after the warehouses are afraid of losing their jobs.
How is this different from the bankruptcy of the four major banks in modern society? unimaginable.
"I'm sorry for you." Wu Nian said sincerely.
"General, your words are serious." Liu Zhixing shook his head, clasped his fist at Wu Nian, then turned and left. Wu Nian looked carefully and saw that his back was slightly hunched.
After Liu Zhixing said goodbye, he returned to his office and sat down. His office is very large, with more than ten officials helping to manage it.
And now the Fuhan General's Mansion is actually a court. In terms of administration, there are six rooms including military room and household room.
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong were actually cabinet ministers.
Wang Yuxue manages the supervisory agency, which is actually the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After Liu Zhixing returned to the office and sat down, he thought about it carefully. There was no good way. He raised his head and said, "Liu Ning, go and tell the officials in the sixth room. The general wants to set up an altar to pray for rain, but he has no money. Let them think about it." Ways to brainstorm ideas.”
"Don't be afraid, anyone can say it."
"It's agreed. I will naturally ask the general for instructions and promote him."
"Yes." Liu Ning accepted, turned around and went down.
The Fuhan General's Mansion gradually became full and resembled a royal court. But it is young and full of energy. Unlike the Chu State's court, which was full of corruption.
But even so. Officials also have assessment rules. Liu Zhixing rarely made guarantees. As long as he solved one thing, he would be promoted.
Following Liu Zhixing's order, the entire Fuhan General's Mansion was alarmed.
But there are many people who want to eat crabs, but not many who can eat crabs. Liu Zhixing is already an expert in financial management, but for a while he was also a "smart woman can't make a meal without rice", let alone others?
"Da da da."
A small official guarding the door came in from outside and reported to Liu Zhixing: "Sir, Gongsun Sang of the household wants to see you."
"Gongsun Sang?" Liu Zhixing was slightly stunned, but soon a dark and thin young man appeared in his mind.
The household house is responsible for taxes, and those who can serve as officials in this house are excellent financial management experts.
"Please come in." Liu Zhixing immediately knew that Gongsun Sang had an idea and quickly raised his hand and said.
"Yes." The clerk walked out, and not long after, Gongsun Sang walked in.
He is twenty-three years old, with a dark complexion, short stature, and very unappealing appearance, but his eyes are bright and piercing.
"Greetings, your lord." After Gongsun Sang came in, he bowed to Liu Zhixing meticulously.
"No courtesy." Liu Zhixing raised his right hand and waved it, and then said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Sir, although Yingqing and Guangchuan are not big, they still have famous temples and Taoist temples. In the past, when the generals of Liaodong were there, they were extremely rich. Good men and women donated a lot of money to the temples and Taoist temples."
"I heard that temples and temples such as Hongfa Temple and Huilong Temple melt gold and silver into big balls and put them in the cellar to prevent them from being stolen."
"Although the Meng Yuan people are barbarians, they also believe in Buddhism and respect ghosts and gods. They have not done anything to them."
"The problem now is. Our general is named General, but he is actually the King of Liaodong. He does not believe in Buddhism or Taoism. He does not practice good deeds in his life. Instead, his hands are stained with blood. I heard that they are all afraid."
"How about spreading the news that the general is setting up an altar to pray for rain, and asking all temples and Taoist temples to donate money. The general will have the money to pray for rain on the altar, and maybe there is some leftover that can be used as a spare. And Taoist temples and temples can have the opportunity to get close to each other General."
"Both parties are happy and each gets what they need."
Gongsun Sang spoke fluent Chudu Mandarin, his pronunciation was very clear, his eyes were shining and he was very shrewd.
After listening to his words, the officials around him stopped their work and looked up at him. Liu Zhixing was also slightly startled, then pinched his beard and said with a smile: "It's so easy to make something out of nothing."
"Okay. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Thank you, sir." Gongsun Sang was overjoyed. He quickly bent down to salute, then walked down quickly with his head held high and his chest held high.
After this matter was resolved, the burden on Liu Zhixing's shoulders immediately became much lighter, and he was very happy. After thinking for a moment, he quickly stood up and went to the backyard, where he found Wu Nian, who was shirtless enjoying the cool air in the pavilion.
"Zhixing. Why are you here again?" Wu Nian looked down at his dress, feeling a little embarrassed. A grown man is not afraid of being naked.
It’s what the ancients said about etiquette.
Liu Zhixing just pretended that he didn't see Wu Nian shirtless and said with a smile, "I'll tell you something good, general."
Then, he told Wu Nian Gongsun Sang's method. Wu Nian was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a sneer: "So what kind of good results can you cultivate and what kind of reincarnation can you go through?"
"These monks have collected so much property. They are not afraid of being stained by karma, nor are they afraid of retribution. But they are afraid of the blade in my hand."
"Things about gods and Buddhas are illusory. But I am a real butcher."
Liu Zhixing nodded lightly.
"This Gongsun Sang is very smart. We searched high and low, and tried our best to reach the bottom of the mountain. But we ended up with an empty treasury. But we didn't expect to search for the monks."
"A few days ago, the owner of the house stated that he was ill and he might not be able to survive. You have no choice. If the matter is completed, let him replace the owner of the house."
Wu Nian raised his head and said.
Whether it is running an army or running a country. Wu's years are all in a style, where merit must be rewarded and misdeeds must be punished. The rewards are heavy and the punishments are harsh.
Gongsun Sang's idea was very good, and it was not a one-time deal. These monks and Taoists are extremely rich and can be looted from time to time.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing clasped his hands and bowed in agreement.
"Another trouble has been solved. It's really refreshing both physically and mentally. Zhixing. We haven't had a drink for a long time. I'll let people prepare the food and wine. How about we get drunk?"
Wu Nian then said with a smile. Seeing that Liu Zhixing wanted to refuse, he added: "I know you are busy. But no matter how busy you are, you have to relax. Relax, civilized and military. Have a drink with me, this is an order."
