After settling the room money at the Penglai Inn, Liu Xie hired another carriage and asked the entourage to carry Weitong into the carriage, and the group left the inn and returned to the palace.

When passing by a pavilion, Liu Xie stopped, and asked the entourage to take Cai Yong's father and daughter and Wei Tong back to the palace first, and the traditional Chinese medicine was caught in the Tai Hospital, and there was no money to keep the account first, and asked the entourage to arrange a place for their family of three to live and ascend the throne to make a book.

However, it is said that the pavilion that attracted Liu Qian to stop was the Luoyang Stock Exchange, which is also the second exchange of Dahan, and the first exchange is the Chang'an Exchange.

The two sisters of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao shouted that they were tired, so they followed them back to the palace first, Liu Xie only took Xiao Luozi with him, and Tai Shici still took his subordinates to protect him secretly.

Liu Xie looked up and saw that there were four big characters on the plaque of the museum: Luoyang Ticket City, the words are crooked, but I can recognize it, and there is his own signature "Milky Way" under the inscription.

Liu Xie said: "While the market is not closed at noon, let's go in and have a look!" ”

There are not many people in the ticket market, and there are not many listed companies, only five, all of which are local shops and workshops in Luoyang. There are guys who keep counting the transaction prices and publishing the latest prices on the blackboard.

It can be seen that the guys are very idle, because there are few investors, so the stock price does not change much. Liu Xie went directly to the manager, and the manager was appointed by Liu Xie, so he came out at a glance, and immediately knelt down and said, "Minister Qian Hu sees Your Majesty." ”

This Qian Hu is in his early twenties, not the minister of the DPRK and China, but Liu Xie announced it among the students in the new school. The new school was also planned and created by Liu Xie, beckoning smart people to teach modern knowledge, and Liu Xie served as the principal and chief teacher.

Qian Hu and a group of other young talents, the performance is particularly excellent, and the acceptance of new ideas is also very fast, in the election for the post of Luoyang ticket city manager, Qian Hu stood out.

Liu Xie flattened him and asked, "Tell me how the stock market is doing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Qian Hu, "everything is relatively smooth and normal, although there are very few listed trading companies and not many investors, but the commissions and stamp duties collected are enough to support the operation of the ticket market." (Note)

Liu Xie said: "Don't be too anxious, after all, it is the initial stage of the economy, everything has just begun, we are also crossing the river by feeling the stones, I believe it will slowly get better in the future." ”

"Your Majesty," Qian Hu added, "and more than 100 other trading companies have applied for listing. ”

Liu Xie said: "After strict scrutiny, trading companies with non-performing assets must be restricted or prohibited from listing. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are also under strict scrutiny."

"In addition, you have to send people to Chang'an Ticket City to learn more from experience, after all, people did it early."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie praised and encouraged Ji Ji again, and was about to leave, but saw Zhao Yun coming with Ma Fenghuo in a hurry, both of them were wearing civilian clothes.

Before he could salute, Liu Xie said, "Zilong, didn't I tell you that you don't need to say hello, you can leave directly?" ”

"Your Majesty," Zhao Yun said, "Changshan is a long way away, and I don't care about this moment, so the minister came to say goodbye, Wen Lu had to go with the minister, and the minister couldn't persuade him, and asked His Majesty to order her to stay." ”

Ma Feng stomped his feet and said angrily: "Okay, you Zhao Yun, you tricked me to come, you just want me to stay." Your Majesty, I don't care, I'm going to go with her! ”

Zhao Yun said again: "Changshan is in the realm of Yuan Shao, our trip is quietly sneaking away, how can I put my mind at ease if you are a girl!" ”

Ma Feng said very stubbornly: "No matter what, I will go, and I will also go to punish Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Okay, don't argue between the two of you, Sister Wenlu, I ask you, how is your martial arts now?" ”

Ma Feng replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the courtier's current martial arts are already very good!" It's not a problem to hit a dozen people. ”

"Can you beat Sister Yan'er?" Liu Xie asked again.

"This ......"

"You can't even beat Yan'er, how do you say you can accompany Zilong?" Liu Xie said, "If you meet Yuan Shao's soldiers, Zilong will have to take care of you again." ”

Ma Feng said: "I don't want him to take care of me, I can protect myself!" Your Majesty, you've always been looking at me, what's wrong today? Why don't you help me? ”

Liu Xie smiled: "You want to accompany Zilong, right?" ”

"Well, I want to do it very much, I want it very much!"

"It's okay for you to go......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"What's the hurry, I haven't finished my words yet."

"Oh, Your Majesty, then you say."

"It's okay for you to go, but you have to make three chapters of the law."

"Huh? I also need three chapters of the law. ”

"Do you want to go, then? If you don't go, forget it. ”

"Go, I'll go! Don't say three chapters, I promise all thirty chapters. ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "One, keep a low profile and don't be publicized!" I can't let people know that you are my people, and I can't let people know that you have left Luoyang and are heading for Hebei, understand? ”

Ma Feng and Zhao Yun both replied clearly, and Liu Xie said the second thing: "You must listen to Zilong's words throughout the whole process, you have to do whatever he wants you to do!" ”

Ma Feng said with a smile: "This is no problem, Brother Zilong told me to go east, I didn't dare to go west, Brother Zilong told me to fight dogs, I didn't dare to catch chickens." ”

"Okay, the third rule is, no matter what the circumstances, you must come back in good condition, and nothing will happen! The two of you are both my favorite generals, and if there is one less, I won't agree! ”

Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, after dealing with my brother's affairs, the minister will not delay for a moment, and will return to Beijing immediately." ”

Liu Xie explained to Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, you must bring your brother and sister-in-law and children to Luoyang, so that they can also enjoy the blessings, do you know?" ”

Zhao Yun knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After saying goodbye, he left Luoyang with Ma Feng and went to Hebei.

As soon as Zhao Yun left, Xiao Luozi said: "Your Majesty, this Zhao Yun is the tiger general of the world, if he is captured by Yuan Shao, it will not be good." ”

Liu Xie sighed and said, "Why am I willing to let Zilong go? But where the family affection is, I can't be impersonal. I think that I am not weaker than Zilong, and I also believe that Zilong will not fail me. ”

"I hope so."

"Okay, let's go back to the palace, it's time for dinner."

The two left Luoyang Ticket City and walked back to the palace, and there was still a long way to go from the palace, but they were stopped by several plainclothes ministers on the street.

Liu Xie asked, "What's the matter, can't you wait for me to go back and talk about it?" ”

Wang Yun looked around and found that everyone was paying attention to them, so he bent down and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a quick Malai report, the princes of the Seventeenth Road are plotting to rebel, and Zhang Xiu is making trouble in Wancheng. ”
