The next day, the little fat man immediately convened a court meeting.

The purpose of the court discussion is naturally to build a new pasture and raise cattle, after the little fat man gathered the ministers, he did not speak by himself, Zheng Xuan immediately got up, and brought up yesterday's matter, I heard that Zheng Xuan wanted to personally herd cattle for the Son of Heaven, everyone was a little surprised, the little fat man looked at Wang Fu, who was originally silent, glared at He Xiu's Wang Fu viciously, heard Zheng Xuan's suggestion, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot to tell He Xiu again.

He thought for a moment, then immediately got up and wrote: "Your Majesty, this matter is promising, when the people are in the tun, the minister will suffer from the lack of cattle, the world is less than 100,000 cattle, all over the cattle have to be borrowed in turn, many places have not yet ploughed cattle, but can only be close to the township of the young and strong to do animal power, it really makes the minister's heartache, if the court can shepherd enough cattle, tomorrow spring planting, autumn harvest, no longer have to worry about animal power!" ”

Wang Fu suddenly said happily: "This matter can be handed over to the minister, Zheng Xuan is far inferior to the minister!" ”

Zheng Xuan frowned, glanced at him with some displeasure, and said: "Prince, I have been reading agricultural books for a long time, and this matter will definitely be done properly!" Zheng Xuan is probably one of the very few officials in the entire temple who is not an enemy of Wang Fu, but Wang Fu did not change his opinion because of this, he shook his head and said: "I used to farm with my former residence, and I also raised three or four cattle, you just read the agricultural book, it is impossible to do this well."

The little fat man was a little helpless, this Wang Fu, it was really he who said: "Wangjun, if this matter of cattle herding is also up to you, then what about the road construction?" You still have to put more effort into building things, and within three years, you will give me a way to leave for future generations! He looked at Zheng Xuan, who was a little angry, and said: "Zheng Jun is also the heart of the country with a fist, I think that the matter of cattle herding can be handed over to him." ”

Zheng Xuan's face improved, got up, and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

"The minister will definitely do this well and never disappoint His Majesty's high expectations!"

Wang Fu behind him shook his head and said, "You can't do it well." ”

Zheng Xuan jumped up angrily, he never knew that every time the court discussed, the ministers would cry in unison, please cook the king's festival letter, now he understands, if you want to play this thief next time, please bring me! Wang Fu turned a blind eye to his annoyance, and said indifferently, Zheng Xuan looked at the Son of Heaven fiercely and said, "Your Majesty, if it is within two years, you can't raise 100,000 cattle for Your Majesty!" Tie the boulder to the minister's legs and drown in the river! ”

The little fat man waved his hand and ordered the retreat.

Zheng Xuan walked out of the palace gate, glared at Wang Fu with some displeasure, turned around and walked out, Yang Qiu on the side, said to Wang Fu helplessly: "Why should the prince bother with him, he is a sincere gentleman, and I have never heard of any evil deeds from him", Wang Fu smiled, shook his head and said: "If I don't provoke him, how can he raise 100,000 ploughing cattle within three years?" ”

Yang Qiu didn't say anything more.

Zheng Xuan went out of the palace, and went to look for Wen Ren Raid, when the single name was noble, and the double name was cheap, but Wen Ren Raid was not a double name, his surname was Wen Ren, the name attack, this surname is very originated, it is from the Lu State Shaozheng clan, which is the representative, such as Shao Zheng Mao, this person became Wen Ren because of Confucius at that time, that is, everyone has heard of the person, therefore, they took this title as their surname, called Wen Ren.

This person is young and unwilling, just because he is the same as Yang Qiu, he is also a scholar who loves Legalist doctrine, and he also regards himself as a disciple of Legalism on weekdays, and the little fat man loves to use such a guy, first worshiped him as the Jizhou Diannong Zhonglang General, and then brought back to Luoyang after the success, and worshiped the three dukes, and now the three dukes, He Xiu, Qiao Xuan, and Wen Ren attack, are all close to the Son of Heaven, and Zheng Xuan wants to do these things, naturally he must first visit Wen Ren Attack.

Zheng Xuan was in his mansion, respectfully waited for half an hour, Wen Ren Raid only then walked in a little tired, he is now busy with Wang Fu and building roads, Wang Fu needs money, are from Wen Ren Raid here to ask, he knew in the morning that the Son of Heaven intended to herd cattle, Zheng Xuan came, he was not surprised, he and Zheng Xuan met, and then sat facing each other, Wen Ren Raid did not want to say too much greetings, and asked directly: "How much do you need?" ”

"The price of a ploughing ox is 4,500 yuan, and I want to buy a thousand ploughing oxen, and I will build pastures, gather farmers, and prepare forage."

"What four thousand five hundred dollars? Don't fool me! Hearing the attack, he looked very angry, he got up, pointed to Zheng Xuan's nose, and scolded: "Around Luoyang, there are less cattle and more land, so the price of cattle is 4,460 yuan, and the price of cattle can reach 3,200 yuan in the north!" The cheapest is in the Guanzhong area, where the cattle are only 2,400 yuan, and they don't even know it, so they want to ask me for money? Drop-off!! ”

The stunned Zheng Xuan was kicked out by his guest, Zheng Xuan was a little confused, could it be that he was really not suitable for doing this?

In desperation, he had no choice but to enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, and told the story of the attack, and the little fat man learned about it, and summoned the person to attack the palace.

Hearing the attack or the first time to enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, the appearance was a little nervous, seeing the Son of Heaven immediately worshipped, the little fat man smiled and helped him up, a few words of greeting, he looked up, and suddenly saw Zheng Xuan on the side, his expression was a little unhappy, the little fat man asked: "I heard, the prince is very familiar with the price of cattle in the world?" Hearing the attack, he said, "I know a little." ”

The little fat man nodded and said, "Then according to your opinion, if you want to shepherd a thousand ploughing cattle, I don't know how much it will cost?" ”

Wen Renzheng frowned and thought about it, but did not speak, Zheng Xuan was on the side, and said: "According to Wen Renjun's opinion, the price of ploughing cattle is two thousand four hundred, and a thousand heads is two million yuan, plus the construction of pastures, the hands of those who help each other, and the feed for cattle, it will cost more than six million yuan to feed the cattle. ”

The little fat man was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about it, this mere cattle herding costs as much as six million dollars, he suddenly felt a little distressed, but he had already issued an edict, it was not easy to change, he looked up at Zheng Xuan, and then looked at Wen Ren's attack, but he didn't think about it, Wen Ren's attack looked more heartfelt than himself, he widened his eyes, looked at Zheng Xuan, gasped, quickly shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and you want to build roads and roads, these six million dollars can't be helped!" ”

Zheng Xuan was helpless, he also knew that the cost was indeed higher, but this matter would definitely be beneficial and harmless in the future.

The little fat man rubbed his forehead and asked, "Wen Renjun, what should I do, six million dollars, it is indeed a bit high"

Hearing this, he pointed at Zheng Xuan with some distress and said, "Your Majesty, this person is a mediocre and incompetent person, and he will open his mouth to be six million dollars, and he will spend state assets in vain!" Zheng Xuan was a little displeased, if Your Majesty is angry, you can understand, after all, the money in the treasury is Your Majesty's, the problem is that you are a minister, why are you so distressed and angry? Zheng Xuan asked again: "I don't know what you see, how much does this matter cost?" ”

"Three thousand six hundred dollars."

"What?"

"Three thousand six hundred dollars."

Wen Ren's attack replied very calmly, the little fat man and Zheng Xuan were dumbfounded, three thousand six hundred yuan, just buy a ploughing cow?

"Your Majesty, there are so many ploughing cattle in the world, why do you need to buy them? As long as the cattle are herded for them and returned when they are ploughed in the future, why don't the people send the cattle to them? You must know that the imperial court herds cattle to feed and send people to take care of them, and those people can be exempted from these miscellaneous things, and the cattle will not be deprived, so they will naturally be sent to the government one after another, and we will record these people, return them after the year, or pay some money, Your Majesty can get tens of thousands of cattle to cultivate, and it doesn't cost a penny! ”

"Around Liangzhou, there are many grasslands for pastures, Qiang people and Han people have many cattle here, Your Majesty can send the Northern Army to Wuwei, one to suppress the local turmoil, the second is to help the migration of the strong and strong settled, the third is to obtain the surrounding pastures, in the future if the Qiang people want to graze here, the Northern Army can recruit money, and then let it in, so that not only the money, the temple can also earn a lot of money"

Looking at the eloquent conversation, the little fat man was dumbfounded, talent!
