1.24 Do not shy away from relatives
The planned governor of the city warehouse is on the top of the mountain. but the inner city of the city of Dok.
The head of the city warehouse, the rank is three hundred stones. The position is not inferior, and the power is also heavy. Very important. The first head of the city warehouse, Liu Bei already has a candidate in his heart.
At this time, the plan to build the city warehouse of the governor will be announced to the public.
The place of the governor is located in the middle of the water. It is surrounded by Lousang, Licheng, Linxiang, Dali, and all cities. The waterway is smooth, which is convenient for transportation. And the hilly terrain of the governor is high, and the warehouse is also conducive to warehousing. Stored grain should not rot and mildew.
As soon as the city warehouse came out, it became a fresh topic of conversation in the city. The young prince is known as the 'superintendent of geniuses', and his ideas are endless. Lousang was built on the ground, and Licheng and Dukang also rose from the ground. It's just that these two cities are just ordinary cities. There is no such thing as Lou Sang, who has so many eye-popping casting vessels.
And so. As soon as the eighth-floor horizontal city warehouse came out, it attracted countless conversations.
As soon as the city warehouse came out, the Lousang school also cheered. Different from the people in Yizhong, the students saw the hope of becoming a leader again.
Below the head of the city warehouse, there are nearly 100 officials!
How can the students not rejoice. Especially Chen Yu, Cui Yu, and Liu Chong, the three disciples of Confucianism. Everyone is eager to try.
Sure enough. Shaojun Hou Qingtian daylight, several times back and forth to the academic world, and the teacher Confucianism secret talk. Apparently related to the castle warehouse.
The old patriarch, who was busy collecting grain, also rushed to the house. Chengcang will be rented. As the unicorn of the Liu family, the old patriarch should be the gatekeeper for Liu Bei. Up and down the house, they are diligent and prepared, and they dare not slack off in the slightest. The young prince is a king, but the old patriarch is an elder of the clan. What we are talking about is a family matter, so naturally we can't wait for it.
When Liu Bei came, the old patriarch told him all the worries in his heart.
Liu Bei listened attentively. Nodding his head from time to time, he never retorted.
After sending the old patriarch away, his mother asked: How can the retainers and clans have both?
Liu Bei smiled: No it. The virtuous do not avoid relatives, and the relatives do not avoid suspicion.
Mother smiled happily and asked: But from Han Feizi's sentence 'External actions do not avoid revenge, and internal actions do not avoid children'?
Liu Bei nodded and said: Yes.
Three days later, the young monarch Hou Guang sent an invitation, and the people invited were all relatives of the Liu family.
The old patriarch, the second uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth all sat beside them.
Liu Bei replaced wine with tea and raised his glass frequently. They are all relatives of the Liu family, they are familiar with each other, and they are happy during the banquet. It also makes musicians, dancers, singing and dancing. Share the joy of princely pleasures.
After three rounds of drinking, the old patriarch got up and asked: Dare to ask the young master, why do you drink?
Liu Bei put down the teacup: it was a family matter, and he wanted to discuss it with his relatives.
The third uncle got up and asked with a smile: Why is it so grand?
The second uncle also put down the wine glass and peeked at his beloved son Liu Wen.
Liu Bei will supervise the matter of Kang Chengcang and talk about it in detail. There is a saying that 'build high walls and accumulate grain'. 'The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first'. 'There is no stability without agriculture, and there is chaos without grain'. 'Pearls are treasures, rice is king'. 'Although there is a thousand gold, it is not as good as a bucket of corn'. 'Once there is no food, the soldiers are scattered'.
Similar famous sentences, not too many in history. This shows how important food is.
The city warehouse is long, although the food is not as long as a city. It is too important for a prince.
It is a matter of life and death, and it must not be ignored.
Seeing that everyone was silent. Liu Bei then ordered people to withdraw the banquet. Invite my mother and two stepmothers to sit in the center. Father-in-law Huang Zhong and two brother-in-law also sat around.
Liu Bei first bowed to his mother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law. Then he sat down in front of his mother.
looked around, and then shouted: Big brother.
Liu Wen was shocked. Take a deep breath and get to your feet. Walked to the hall in broken steps and knelt opposite Liu Bei.
There is a difference between the lord and the minister.
Liu Wen threw himself to the ground and called the young master.
Liu Bei stretched out his hand to help him up: "Big brother, I want to make you the head of the city warehouse, I don't know what to do?"
There was an exclamation in the hall. Not to mention the second uncle, even the old patriarch never expected it.
Liu Wen bowed down and bowed again: he is shallow in his studies, and he may not be competent.
Liu Bei smiled again and helped him up: I have asked my teacher. The teacher said that the eldest brother is 'honest and has the style of an elder', and 'can be of great use'. It is the length of a city, and it can also be shared. The younger brother is now the head of the city warehouse to give the brother, which is really overkill.
Liu Wen said goodbye: In this way, Liu Wen received the order. We must be 'conscientious, like thunder and thunder', and do not pay the trust of the young master.
Liu Bei ordered Yan to bring a ribbon and an official robe. Liu Wen took it with both hands.
When Liu Wen changed his official robe, Liu Bei asked him to sit in front of his mother, and he was the first to perform family salutes.
The young and the old are orderly.
Liu Wen tearfully helped Liu Bei up. Kouhu: Third brother.
A sentence of the third brother almost made Liu Bei cry. Looking at the second uncle again, he had beaten his chest and screamed. Thinking about the past, I can't help but be ashamed. Kneeling in front of his mother, tears flowing. Kouhu: Sister-in-law.
The mother also wept.
The old patriarch has wiped away his tears, and the Liu clan in the hall all have tears.
Wait for the eldest brother to sit down. Liu Bei set his eyes on his second brother Liu Wu again.
Bai Yu Jing pawn, Lou Sang Hu Ben. The only person selected by the Liu clan is the second brother Liu Wu. Under the door of his father-in-law Huang Zhong, he has been practicing martial arts and being skilled in bows and horses for several years. It's been a long time. and Lu Chong's A Juan set a marriage, and after the year, he chose an auspicious day to get married.
As soon as he met Liu Bei's eyes, Liu Wu stood up suddenly. Sure enough, it's the son of the third uncle. can be selected as a white Yu Jingshu, what else to say. Warriors, strong men.
The dragon walked in front of Liu Bei, and knelt on the ground with a bang: What does the young master command.
Liu Bei said with a smile: The second brother is willing to lead an army by himself and garrison the city warehouse.
Liu Wu hugged his fists: Huh!
Liu Bei was very happy. This made Yan maid bring the official seal and battle robe. Awarded the post of Captain of the Castle Warehouse. Rank 200 stones. 108,000 dollars a year. The whole family is exempt from forced labor and rent-free.
Of course, it's not just officials who are exempt. Liu Bei's "nobles, sages, capables, scholars, official servants, the elderly, the sick, and the pregnant" can all be exempted from forced labor.
The second uncle stroked his beard frequently, and his eyes were full of triumph.
Liu Bei also told the eldest brother that in the city warehouse, only talent and virtue are lifted. But Dona Liu clan people, there is no need to shy away.
Liu Wen said.
Three hundred stones, which is the fortune of the sub-county magistrate. Forty times in the valley of the moon, four hundred and eighty stones a year. Converted into this year's grain price, 144,000 stone a year. Since the Han Dynasty, all those who have been worshiped have been half a penny and half a grain. That is, half of the money and half of the grain. The purpose is to stabilize prices. The grain is cheap, and the grain is worthless, so it can be made up by half of the copper coin. The grain is expensive, and the money is worthless, but half of the grain is used to make up for it.
Liu Bei was converted into copper coins according to the grain price of the year. The reason is that every household has 50 acres of beautiful land, and there is really no shortage of grain. Lousang is prosperous, and there are many places to use money. There is no need to worry about the season ripening, and the grain will hurt the farmers. Liu Bei's wine, inn, and many industries all have the lowest purchase price. Now there is a city warehouse, which can hold millions of stones. Don't worry about it.
Liu Bei comforted his fourth brother Liu Xiu, who was full of envy. said that when he succeeds in his studies, he will make other arrangements as appropriate.
Liu Xiubai thanked him and didn't mention it.
The clan relatives in the hall are fully resolved.
The father-in-law and the mother-in-law also nodded and praised kindness.
There is a way to be home and everything is prosperous. The two stepmothers who sat next to their mothers, as well as Huang Zhong, who was in the same row as the third mother and regarded themselves as the right-hand fathers, gradually integrated into the Liu family. share weal and woe, and don't treat yourself as an outsider for a long time. The Liu clan also serves as the righteous lord and the righteous lord. There has been no loss.
The next day, the eldest brother Liu Wen took office. Lead the craftsmen to supervise the construction of the city warehouse. The second brother Liu Wu led a Shi Bai Yu elite soldier under his command, and led 500 parts from the martial arts field to the city warehouse.
