night.
"Your Majesty, there is a businessman from Tai County, Jinan, Qingzhou who is willing to use his family wealth to support your Majesty in conquering the Xiongnu."
"oh,"
While reviewing the memorial on the low table, Liu Che raised his head in surprise.
"The businessman from Jinan, Qingzhou, is not the one I arranged?"
The eunuch shook his head flatteringly: "Report to your majesty, he is not that person."
"This is really strange. A big man like me really has such a brave and loyal merchant?"
In order to pool the money of the merchants, Liu Che made many preparations.
There is no way, money is needed to fight wars, money is needed to build palaces, and money is also needed to pay civil and military salaries in the dynasty.
Who has the most money in the world?
Naturally, he is a merchant.
Last year, a vehicle and vessel tax was proposed. Within half a year, tens of millions of taxes were collected from merchants and dignitaries, and they were collected every year.
As for tax avoidance?
Of course this will happen. If there is no business, those merchants and powerful people will find ways to avoid this newly added tax.
but.
His preparations don't stop there, either.
Lord of martial arts.
Calculated.
Sue.
These are all his back-up preparations.
It's just that it has only been implemented to the Martial Arts Lord at present.
originally.
He planned to arrange for a businessman to donate most of his family wealth to set an example for the world.
But now, I didn't expect that there are actually merchants willing to donate gifts.
"What's the details?"
Being able to be reported to him, it seems that this businessman has a lot of wealth, otherwise the person responsible for this matter would not be undecided.
The eunuch flattered: "I have found out clearly. This man's name is Sang Shang. He has a son in his family. He is doing silk business in Tai County. His business is very prosperous. He has businesses all over the grasslands in the north and Fujian and Yue in the south. The caravan has a clean life."
"The family's wealth donated this time amounted to 100 million yuan. From the people below, I learned that he also knew that His Majesty needed money to reward the soldiers, so he wanted to use all his wealth to change his eldest son Sangyang's household registration, and no longer have a business registration."
"Oh, you are indeed a smart man."
Liu Che sneered.
Suppressing business was originally the national policy of the Han Dynasty, or it was the national policy of his dynasty.
What his father could do when he was in power was to gather the world's great businessmen in Chang'an and there would be no backup. This was all because of Huang Lao's learning and his grandmother.
Huang Lao's learning is suitable for raising the people, but it is not suitable for managing the great achievements he wants!
So he said that Sang Shang was a smart man. He could see the whole picture at a glance and knew that he was going to attack the merchants.
"One hundred million dollars? It's a little less, but it's okay. I'll make some arrangements when I can. I want to meet this mulberry businessman and donate all my wealth to set an example for the world's businessmen."
"Do you want to come into the palace, or meet outside the palace?"
the eunuch asked.
Liu Che thought for a moment: "Let's go outside the palace. Since we want to set an example, let more people see it."
"promise."
The eunuch bowed humbly and exited Liu Che's bedroom.
And Liu Che knocked on the table lightly.
"Heh, I'm giving you an advantage."
Donating one's identity was not uncommon in the Han Dynasty, and many of Liu Che's servants had gone through this process.
The most famous among them is "Luoyang's money-making maniac, Minister Sang Hongyang".
He is present in Yantie Ling, Suan Ling, and Gao Min Ling.
As a descendant of a businessman, Sang Hongyang served Liu Che as a companion in the last years of Emperor Jing's reign by donating gifts.
Later he served as a servant, and now, as a servant, Sang Hongyang is responsible for 'calculation' and 'speech profit' in the Da Nong Order.
Thinking of Sang Hongyang, Liu Che couldn't help but think of the salt and iron franchise announcement that Zheng had submitted at that time.
Liu Che was very satisfied after reading this memorial, but it is not yet time. The holders of salt and iron are currently the most numerous princes and kings, so a little sign is still needed.
Liu Che's eyes narrowed.
"Don't let me down."
Liu Che looked out the window.
"The Lord's Father Yan"
Because of the heavy arrows, Liu Che sent his master Yan to visit the vassal states, but the reason why he sent his master Yan was not just for the sake of heavy arrows.
What Liu Che wants is to catch the princes and kings.
As a knife in Liu Che's hand, Master Fu Yan will deal with the princes this time.
It's just that after using this knife once, it's time to discard it.
——
Zhao State.
Zhao Palace.
Liu Pengzu pressed his chest and breathed heavily.
There was silence in the hall.
Prince Dan was so frightened that he stood still.
He never expected it.
Zhang Qi will be like this.
But when he thought of such a delicate and beautiful Qingling, his mentality changed again.
Zhang Qi treats his father like this, so if he does something, his father won't say anything, right?
Evil thoughts continue to arise.
This is Zhao State!
He is the prince of Zhao Kingdom.
The one at the top is the majestic King Zhao!
When did a prince dare to treat a prince named Liu like this!
Evil starts from the heart, and evil comes from the guts.
Prince Dan stood up and pointed at Zhang Qi and shouted an order in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
"Guard of the King of Zhao! Capture the rebellious people for me!"
Zhang Qi was stunned.
Liu Pengzu was also stunned.
Both of them couldn't help but look at Prince Dan.
That look was like looking at a big fool.
The look in their eyes made Prince Dan stunned.
What's up? This is it.
Why are you looking at yourself?
And why is there something wrong with my father's eyes? It's like he's looking at a big fool.
"hehe."
Zhang Qi sneered.
The royal guards in the palace did not move at all.
The prince, the prince.
It's just the prince. Now the person who calls the shots in the Zhao Kingdom is still King Zhao, not Prince Dan.
"King Zhao, what did I say? Your prince is really disappointing. Does he still think this is the period of Emperor Hanwen?"
"Palm mouth!"
Snapped!
A roar followed by a crisp slap sounded immediately after Zhang Qi finished speaking.
Ayan's right hand hit Prince Dan's face fiercely, and the broken teeth and blood spilled in the palace.
Covering his face.
Prince Dan's eyes were full of water stains. He stared at Zhang Qi, wanting to tear his skin and bones apart.
Liu Pengzu's heart hurt even more.
He also didn't expect that Liu Dan would be so irresistible. Did he really choose the wrong person?
"What is a king?"
"The one with strong soldiers and horses shall be the king!"
"As for the old, weak, sick and disabled in the vassal states, you are nothing more than domestic animals raised by Your Majesty. If you want to do the things of the Seven Kings again, I have the responsibility to clean up for Your Majesty!"
Zhang Qi's voice was cold.
Liu Pengzu was suspicious when he heard that the Seven Kings were thrown out.
He calmed down immediately.
At this time, what did Zhang Qi mean by saying this?
"Send the prince back to the East Palace."
Liu Pengzu waved his hand.
At this moment, the royal guards started to move.
Several people helped Prince Dan up and took him out of the palace.
But Liu Pengzu closed his eyes slightly, stopped breathing, and said coldly.
"The Marquis of Liao is so majestic. Now that the majesty is over, can you sit down at the table? These are the delicacies that I specially prepared for the Marquis of Liao."
"Of course, without the eyesore, my stomach will feel a little twitchy."
Zhang Qi saw Prince Dan being brought back by Liu Pengzu's order. He turned around and faced Liu Pengzu. He smiled gently, cupped his hands, and sat back at the table.
