Chapter 23: The Prince's Resignation
"Let's go." A young man in the distance outside the palace also looked at Wang Fu's corpse at the gate of the palace, and kept wiping his tears. His makeup was carefully dressed as a beard, and people who didn't get along day and night couldn't recognize this former eunuch at all, He Miao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and handed over a title deed. "Get out of here, Wang Meng, this is the 500 acres of land deed in Cangwu, Jiaozhou. Be a rich man, don't want to come back for revenge, the Wang family will have you a seedling left. Success and defeat have been the case since ancient times. ”
The young man nodded, and mounted his horse with his bags on his back. The servant who followed the messenger along the way walked to the south. Looking back at the towering Luoyang City, tears flowed wordlessly in an instant, he knew that he would not be able to come back in this life. He took out two ingots of gold from his pocket and smiled at him with a face that he had never lost before. Earnestly said meaty words, please two messengers to accept. that they may take care of him on the way. A noble son who has been pampered since he was a child, has experienced this big change, and he has really grown up too much. Because, the road in the future is only to go by yourself......
"Hahaha......" After listening to Zhao Zhong's detailed report on Liu Wei's recent situation, Liu Hong touched his beard and laughed.
"Debate, really, too smart." Liu Hong didn't say this emotion, but it was a complex voice from the heart.
"Pay close attention, Jiangxia Huang's family, Yingchuan Zhong's family. issued an order to order Bi Lan to assist the prince Liu Wei in disaster relief. No edict will not be returned. ”
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he thought about it again: "Ordered Yingchuan to guard He Jin and return to the court, and serve as the captain of the school!" ”
"No!" Zhao Zhong respectfully saluted and went down to draw up the edict.
If the party members who were imprisoned by the two Lao Tzu were to pass it again, it would be taboo. Therefore, Liu Wei knew each other very well and asked Liu Hong to send his cronies and eunuchs to help, first, to beg for a hug. The second is to give Liu Hong a heart-retaining pill, your son is still on your side. finally moved out of the He family, the Son of Heaven is destined to be a lonely man! It is impossible for the Son of Heaven to bind anyone.
Liu Wei accompanied Zhong Xuan to join the company, and just summoned all the princes, the sons of Tanglin merchants, to fill them. heard the summons of Liu Wei, the prince of the prince. The body jumped up as if it had been electrified!
Shang Jia, since Qin ruled the world, he has become the lowest status person in the world, and his status is a little better than that of prisoners like Cheng Dan and Ghost Bai Cang, who have committed serious crimes and are punished with hard labor. During the Qin Dynasty, it was believed that good men should fight wars and make contributions, and businessmen or something were the scum of society. As soon as there was a war in the country, the children of merchants would be arrested and sent to serve in hard labor. When the frontier is stationed, grain and grass are transported, and when there is a war, it is rushed to the front as cannon fodder, which can be described as extremely miserable.
Although the Han Dynasty was a little better than the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. A little bit better, not much better. There is still an order that discriminates against businessmen that "the world has been peaceful, and Gaozu is ordering the Jia people not to ride in clothes and silk, and heavy rent taxes to embarrass them".
Liu Bang is a financial civilian, with a headache and a foot pain. The country has no money, and when it comes to making money, the inferior copper coins made will be split in half in half after a few times, which shows how good the quality is. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the economy was in turmoil, the people's livelihood withered, and even the emperor's horses were not the same color.
It wasn't until Empress Lu weighed the system that the constraints on merchants were relaxed, Tianjin and customs were opened, and the bad monetary policy during the Liu Bang period was adjusted, which laid a good financial foundation for the rule of Wenjing, otherwise how could Emperor Wenjing dare to buy the lower-level people with such a loose policy of thirty taxes and one year, so that there are still people who think of their good!
The restrictions on merchants were relaxed, the political environment began to improve, and the system of officials began to appear, which allowed merchants to pay for officials, but as designated attendants to the emperor.
The big merchants also hoped that their sons and nephews could learn more by the emperor's side, after all, it was the world's top political palace, and it could also provide political support for their families. In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a perverted boss-level character Sang Hongyang was killed from among the material officials! The salt and iron monopoly system that has continued to this day was created by this great god.
Liu Wei had already read the list of all the princes, but he was still a little disappointed. There are no outstanding children of the Jizhou Zhen family, the Xuzhou Mi family and the Wu family in Shuzhong, which are basically the children of the big merchants near Nanyang and Luoyang and Chang'an.
"Nanyang Gao Hong and Gao Yuanshi have seen His Royal Highness."
"Tanglin Zhang Shi Zhang Daofan has seen His Royal Highness. Xie Xing, Xie Zimei and several other colleagues were sick in bed and it was difficult to go out, so those colleagues asked me to ask His Highness for guilt. ”
“……”
Many princes and people saluted Liu Wei one by one, and Liu Wei also smiled and nodded. But he couldn't help sneering in his heart, he had already sent someone to find out, Xie Xing and the others didn't deal with this Zhang Shi, and they formed a small group. Zhang Shi kindly "reminded" himself that these people are really good colleagues.
"Don't panic, I came with Mr. Yuan Chang mainly to recruit aspiring colleagues to help with disaster relief. Of course, Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait. But if there is one who does not want to, he will not be compelled to him. But to get involved, you have to listen to Mr. Mototsune's orders, and his words are my words. ”
Liu Wei was not polite to them, time is the lives of those victims for him now, plus they are helping, without them Liu Wei can drive this train alone. Liu Wei came to accept his basic plate this time, and help Zhong Xuan, who is in the field, set up his own team!
Liu Wei's words made them a little silent, a little disappointed, and a little clear.
There are not one or two officials who are looking for them to fight the autumn wind, using some illusory promises, and then eating a clean wipe and denying it, and it is not once or twice that they are disappointed. But it was the first time that Xiang Liu had such a direct appearance.
The landlord's family will not let them toss so much, and they also have to obey the orders of a colleague of the same level, and for these young and vigorous businessmen, they will be even more unconvinced.
Zhong Xuan was very moved, he didn't expect Liu Wei to always support him.
"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as a heart!" Zhong Xuan stood tall and looked around at everyone, who are allies and who are enemies.
"Tanglin Xie Xing Xie Jia...... May it be, Your Highness, Your Highness! A weak voice came from the door, and a few servants walked in with a young man in their arms.
The young man broke free from the servant's support and knelt in front of Liu Wei with a thud.
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, and his little hands supported his head: "You are Xie Zimei?" ”
"It is here, Your Highness, the minister is sick and failed to come as scheduled, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." Xie Xing's face was sallow and sallow, so that it didn't look like a fake disease.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Liu Wei and Yan Yuese gave Xie Xing a seat. Thousands of dollars buy horse bones, Xie Xing is the first person to surrender to sincerity, how could Liu Wei blame him for such a trivial matter.
As soon as Xie Xing sat down, he glared at Zhang Shi viciously, but Zhang Shi smiled and saluted Xie Xing. This made Xie Xing clench his fists and want to beat him up.
He was invited to drink flower wine two days ago, but Zhang Shi happened to appear next door, although the contradiction between the two has intensified, but the businessman is pinching each other behind his back, no matter how serious it is, he is also polite on the surface.
Zhang Shi didn't talk much with Xie Xing, but just invited Xie Xing to drink a glass of wine, and the two parted ways and never saw each other again. But since he went back after drinking the flower wine, Xie Xing has been having diarrhea, and he has been pulling until he collapses, and he can't wait to pull out his intestines. Xie Xing thought about it, and the biggest possibility was Zhang Shiyu's own!
