None of them guessed how the imperial court would deal with Liu Xian. So these things are not mentioned.

Then we discussed other development details.

It is mainly the place where the Liu Fu caravan will trade in the future, and the goods to be trafficked. Every time a business, if successful, it can add a huge amount of income to Liu Xian, and this income, in addition to removing all kinds of project expenses, is indeed very profitable.

This is also due to the inconvenient transportation in this era, and the special products of various industries have little chance to circulate in ordinary times. Liu Xian's Liufu caravan can be very good at trafficking different specialties from various places to earn the difference.

Many specialties are not just because they are not available elsewhere, not only because they are fresh and easier to sell, but they are really some local specialties, which can indeed be very convenient for the daily needs of the people.

In today's troubled times, food, cloth, and other necessities of life are lacking in many places. And there are many places, after all, places that have not been harmed by the scourge of yellow turbans, and places where grain is produced, and those places will have a large stock of grain, and the price of grain will be quite low.

Of course, the grain must be in the hands of those local big landlords and tyrants, as well as the hands of those local magnates such as the family and the nobles. They also all know that in troubled times, the price of grain is higher than gold, and if grain is sold and bought in those war-torn places, then the profit obtained is ten times and a hundred times the return. The problem is that they have to be able to get out trafficked.

Generally speaking, as far as the entire Han is concerned, it is difficult for private individuals to organize one or two thousand people to escort a caravan, and at most they collude with the government and use the government to be responsible for the safety of their caravan. However, in this way, the bulk of the profits they obtained will definitely be taken by the government.

Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan now has the ability to escort a large number of goods to other places on his own. If the caravan negotiated with the landlords and tyrants in those places and bought grain from them at a suitable price, they were still willing.

And at this time, the landlords and tyrants in many places, they actually didn't dare to let the government know how much grain they had. Because they are afraid that the imperial court will directly levy a relationship on them.

This grain is only one aspect, Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan, there are many commodities involved in commerce, and naturally it will not be limited to commodities like grain.

In addition, there is salt and the like, salt is actually equivalent to military supplies, under normal circumstances, it will be in the hands of the imperial court, and private individuals will not dare to touch these interests.

But Liu Xian knew that Liu Jiezu had been making salt, and through him, he could get a large amount of sea salt.

As for the salt, Liu Xian originally planned to look for it in the area of Yangshi County to see if he could find an open-air salt field, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it at this time. If it can be found and the underground salt ore can be mined, then this will also become the main industry of Yangshi County. Now, these have to be postponed.

Caravans, shops, and the Liulin City that has been built now, the production workshops that are being built, etc., all of which only need time to develop, will become a one-stop industrial chain of production, transportation, and sales in the future. As long as it develops, Liu Xian will have an endless stream of economic income. These incomes are enough for Liu Xian to feed more military horses.

Then, there is also the matter of opening a bookstore and a printing house as Kong Rong said.

Originally, Liu Xian felt that there were so many things that needed to be decided by himself, but now, he already has Cai Yong, Tian Feng, Zheng Xuan, Tao Qiuhong, the four great talents, as well as Shan Yong, who can be cultivated.

What Liu Xian has to do now is to do a good job in the core branch technique.

As for what Liu Xian originally planned to do, such as making wine, making soap, making better quality paper, etc., Liu Xian had actually already handed over these core things to Liang Ji, and Liang Ji presided over them. These are all Liu Xian's property, Liang Ji regards these things as his own life, and he will only teach those core techniques to the most loyal and trustworthy people to Liu Xian.

In fact, this concentrated discussion, this discussion, is a matter of days.

discussed how the entire Yang's County, Liulin City, as well as Pingyuan Wangfu, Beihai County and other places would develop in the future and how to control them. Then, an overall development policy plan was developed.

Generally speaking, Liu Xian's development is the first priority to develop the army, and in the name of the Liu Mansion caravan guard, recruit as many troops as possible. But the most important thing is training.

Not much to say, anyway, it's a training program for cavalry, archers, and other types of troops. It is necessary to train all the troops that Liu Xian can control into a truly strong army.

This point, even Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, they all think that it is the top priority, because they don't have enough strength, then no matter how hard they try, no matter how much they do, it is meaningless, because if they don't have enough protection ability, they will do it in vain, and the fruits of all their efforts will fall into the hands of others sooner or later.

No one wants the fruits of their hard work to be taken away by others, and they don't want to be destroyed.

This point, the entire place that Liu Xian can control, from top to bottom, is consistent, including Beihai County.

Secondly, it is the development of various businesses. If we don't do a good job in the operation of Liufu's caravans, and can't let production, transportation, and sales operate normally, then Liufu won't have an endless stream of income and no money, so how can we talk about raising soldiers?

Then there is the issue of people's livelihood in various places, and the problem of ensuring that the people in various places work as much as possible, so that everyone has something to do as much as possible, so that the people have a way to live.

Only when you have something to do can you have an income and a way to live.

These affairs, one by one, seem to be independent of each other, but they are actually interrelated. After doing all of the above, you can think about anything else.

Such as Liufu College and so on.

If it is difficult to ensure the safety of Yangshi County and Liulin City, and the people have no money, no food, no land to cultivate, no work to do, and no income, then it will be difficult for them to continue their lives. Under such circumstances, even if Liufu College is opened, I am afraid that few people have the conditions to enter the college to learn culture.

Therefore, many things have to be built on the basis of money.

As for how to carry out the detailed work, there is no need for Liu Xian to do it one by one, anyway, Liu Xian is to put forward a proposal and plan to determine a general direction of development, so it can be completely implemented by the people below.

Next, Liu Xian began to study movable type printing.

This movable type printing technology, Gongshi is not too advanced in technology. As long as you master the technique, then it will feel very simple.

However, it took Liu Xian almost a month to get this movable type printing technique out.

During this period, Liu Xian asked Liang Ji to come forward and formally propose marriage to Cai Yong, and decided that Liu Xian and his daughter Cai Yan would marry together with Kong Xue.

Since Cai Yong has become Liu Xian's father-in-law, Liu Xian did not hide Cai Yong and directly taught him movable type printing.

Cai Yong is naturally a book lover, even if he wanders around, he will take his lifelong collection of books, which shows how much he loves books. Now, Liu Xian has taught him how to print books with movable type, and he is really amazed and ecstatic at the same time.

He was so excited that he gave up the position of the president of Liufu Academy to Zheng Xuan, and planned to preside over the affairs of Liufu Printing House in the future. But Liu Xian will definitely not agree, Liufu Academy must be in his own hands, although Zheng Xuan has come here, but he is not his own person now. Moreover, Liu Xian's Liufu Academy is different from the traditional academy of the time, not only because it has added many disciplines, but also because Liu Xian wants to use Liufu Academy to instill a spirit or political tendency in all the students of the college.

Liu Xian didn't know if Zheng Xuan would cooperate with him, so he had to need a real family member to master Liu Mansion Academy.

Liu Wei married Cai Yan, so Cai Yong is naturally his own person.

Liu Xian believes that the printing press will soon print the first book.

Because Liufu College will be able to open soon, Liu Xian hopes to print a batch of books on enlightenment teaching first. At the same time, he can also send a fast horse to Beihai to invite Kong Rong, which is to let him see the printed finished books and increase his confidence in opening a bookstore.

Liu Xian believes that Kong Rong must have already started to open a bookstore. This time, I invited Kong Rong to come over, in addition to letting him take a look at the finished book, I also asked him to bring some treasured books to come, and then print them out. Of course, Cai Yong also has a lot of books, and some of them will be selected and printed.

Liu Xian demanded that at least 10,000 or 20,000 copies of each book should be printed in the first batch.

Also, not long after, the auspicious day for Liu Xian, Kong Xue and Cai Yan to marry will come, and as Kong Xue's father, it is also appropriate for him to come to preside.

However, at this time, after more than a month, the imperial court came again.

At this moment, all of them broke all of Liu Xian's plans.

The envoys who came were still Zhao He.

In the past month or so, he has been running back and forth, and he has really worked hard, and it seems that he is a lot haggard.

Liu Xian was in Liulin City, and he went directly to Liulin City's Liu Mansion to read out the holy decree.

After reading the holy decree, Liu Xian and everyone were a little stunned.

Ma Guiren was seriously ill, and Xuan Liu Xian quickly entered Beijing to serve filial piety.

At this moment, Liu Xian was really caught off guard.

According to Liu Xian's meaning, before he started the army, he had no idea of going to Luoyang Capital at all.

Although Liu Xian also wanted to go to Luoyang to see the prosperity of this thousand-year-old capital, Liu Xian always believed that this gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, there was no need, and it was better to stay in Liulin Village and Yangshi County with peace of mind. There is no need to go to the capital to wade into troubled waters.

And Liu Xian also figured it out, no matter whether Ma Guiren was really seriously ill or not, this must be a conspiracy of the imperial court to deal with him.

Liu Xian received the holy decree and asked Zheng Bo to send Zhao He to rest, and then summoned everyone as soon as possible.

"Ma Guiren is not very old, but he is about forty years old, and he has always been pampered, and he looks like a girl in her twenties. How could it be that he became seriously ill shortly after entering Beijing? It does not say anything sick in this decree...... This is a conspiracy, virtuous son-in-law, otherwise, you won't go, you see, your marriage date with Yan'er and Kong Xue is also close, can you use this excuse to drag it out first? Yes, this can also be said to be a joy for the Ma nobles......"

Cai Yong was worried about Zhong Zhong's words.

Cai Yong was exiled by the emperor, and he knew what virtue was now. He was also well aware of the taboos of the Plains Palace, so he immediately thought that this was a conspiracy.

"Hmph, now the imperial court...... The old man, alas, the old man doesn't want to talk more. Zheng Xuan snorted coldly, but sighed again.

"The emperor's order cannot be violated." Liu Xian said a little depressed.

Originally, Liu Xian was just an unknown person, and the court would definitely not target him. However, after becoming the son of the noble man of the Plains Palace, this attracted the attention of the imperial court.

Liu Xian understood this reason, but it was really difficult for Liu Xian to refuse Ma Guiren's wishes.

Unless Liu Xian resists the decree, I am afraid that this time I am afraid that I will really enter Beijing.

Tian Feng said at this time: "That's right, the emperor's order cannot be violated." The emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, and the holy decree has been issued. Lord, it seems that he really has to enter Beijing. What's more, the holy decree also uses the excuse that Ma Guiren is seriously ill, regardless of whether Ma Guiren is really seriously ill or not, but as Ma Guiren's righteous son, if he doesn't rush there as soon as possible, it will be unfilial. The lord can't bear the name of unfilial piety. ”

"That's right! Liu Xiangongzi, it seems that your wedding date is going to be rescheduled. Tao Qiuhong said with some regret: "I, the matchmaker, it seems that I have to wait to drink your cup of wine." However, now is not to discuss whether you should enter Beijing or not, but to consider the safety of your son in Beijing after entering Beijing. ”

Liu Xian nodded and said, "There's no way, hey, we should have thought about it a long time ago, if the assassination of Wang Yue fails, they will definitely find a way to kill me again." If I stay here all the time, they can't help themselves. That's why I thought of using Ma Guiren to deceive me into Beijing. ”

"However, I'm afraid it's not easy for them to want my Liu Xian's life. With Wang Yue and Huang Zhong here, I'll see who can harm me! ”

Liu Xian said again.

Liu Xian plans to marry Huang Wudie together, so Huang Zhong will also come back. It's almost there.

"Don't be careless." Tian Feng said with a solemn face at this time: "The so-called open guns are easy to block, and dark arrows are difficult to prevent. The court may not necessarily kill you openly, they want to die alone, and there are really too many means. ”

"What Mr. Tian Feng said is that in the DPRK, it is really easy for them to murder a person. Just find an excuse and you will be killed. Cai Yong also felt the same way.
