Chapter 169: Capital Booms

Changing into clothes, and then putting on the trousers under Tang Yue's service, the cool feeling under the crotch in the past was finally suppressed, which made Liu Chen feel a little at ease. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Chen, who changed into trousers and clothes, looked more and more upright, his erect chest muscles supported his broad chest, and the soaring golden python on his chest was even more fascinating, adding a bit of domineering to Liu Chen.

Seeing this, Liu Chen was very satisfied, and said to the crown princess who was looking at him with a smile on his face:

"Concubine Ai is really ingenious, this set of clothes is very lonely, not bad!"

Appreciated by Liu Chen, Cui's face showed a sweet smile, and at the same time looked at Liu Chen's gaze, becoming more and more fond of it.

"Your Highness, the painter has arrived!"

Seeing that it was Xin Hai coming, Liu Chen nodded and was about to walk out, but when he thought of something, he turned around and said to Tang Yue and Jiang Ying:

"If the two ladies are fine, they can lead the concubine to the garden, and if they sit all the time, it will not be good for the orphan's heir!"

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Liu Chen walked out satisfied, still a little sorry in his heart.

I have never done what a father should do, and I have never had time to accompany Cui's family, so I thought of letting Cui's raise a baby, so I had to let Tang Yue and Jiang Ying have to do it.

When he came to the hall outside, Liu Chen's face had returned to indifference, and he still had that faint smile on his face, giving people a warm feeling.

"Zhao Jing, Zhao Zhinan, the painter of the Painting and Calligraphy Department of the Laochen Academy, participate in His Highness!"

Coming in was a fifty-year-old man with flourishing sideburns, and when he saw Liu Chen, he showed reverence on his face and saluted respectfully.

Seeing Zhao Jing like this, Liu Chen was very satisfied, but he was not complacent, and said in a harmonious voice:

"Zhinan, please take a seat!"

As soon as he sat down, Liu Chen found that Zhao Jing couldn't stop looking at his shirt and trousers, and at the same time, his fingers couldn't stop sliding on the low table, as if he was drawing an outline.

Seeing Liu Chen, Zhao Jing looked ashamed and said apologetically:

"Your Highness forgives sins, this is a habit of the old minister, when he sees something good, he will quickly write it down, and then draw it when he has time."

Hearing this, Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction, this person is obsessed with painting, and his painting skills will not be much worse, so he said:

"This is just right, Gu Xuan Rulai just wants you to paint a painting for Gu, I don't know how much time it will take?"

Seeing Liu Chen say this, the painter seemed very happy, and hurriedly said:

"Please give the old minister an hour, it's enough!"

Hearing this, Liu Chen was a little helpless, after all, if it was in the future life, it would only take less than a second to shoot it, but now, he needs to spend two hours talking about a painting that I don't know how accurate it is.

"Alright then, you are ready to start, it just so happens that Lone is fine at this time."

Then the painter took out the guy he was eating and began to prepare concentrated pigments such as dansha.

The whole process is a torment for Liu Chen, after all, this is a requirement to sit for two hours in a row without moving, and it is still relatively difficult for people like Liu Chen.

As soon as he was halfway there, Liu Chen felt like half of his whole body had been bitten by ants, and it was extremely sour.

But Liu Chen didn't stretch out his hand, but sat upright, looking very majestic, but the wetness in front of his forehead showed that Liu Chen was not very good, and sweat flowed down.

Call......

When two hours passed, Liu Chen was already very tired, but he didn't rest, but looked at Zhao Jing, and really hoped that he could paint better.

"Your Highness, your portrait is complete, please check it!"

Hearing this, Liu Chen leaned over and looked at this silk painting, a heroic man with a tall face, a cold face, thick eyebrows and big eyes occupied most of the space in the middle, and the clothes on his body were extraordinarily colorful, red and dazzling, and golden and extravagant.

"Well, yes, it's really a painter certified by the Ministry of Industry, and the craftsmanship is really extraordinary, and I admire it!"

Zhao Jing smiled in return, looked at the painting and was very excited, resisted his desire for it, and presented it with both hands:

"Your Highness, this painting still needs to be framed, so I implore Your Highness to give the old minister a day."

Hearing this, Liu Chen waved his hand and said:

"It's not necessary, I hope you go back and draw ten paintings according to this, you have to use it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jing retreated, leaving Liu Chen in a daze.

For a long time, Liu Chen didn't know what he had in mind, so he couldn't help but sneer and muttered:

"In the past, there was Zhao Wuling King Hufu riding and shooting, only to create the prosperity of Zhao for decades, and today Gu Yi is willing to start from the clothes and trousers, and create the style of Shu Han martial arts!"

As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand to straighten out the sleeves of his shirt that was not messy, and then got up and went out, according to Zhao Jing, his portrait can be completed in just two days, and then his next step can be implemented.

Two days later, ten finished products were delivered, and seeing the painting, Liu Chen couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that on the top of the painting, a round of scorching sun hung high in the sky, and below was a rolling mountain shrouded in the glow of the sun, and Liu Chen was like a god overlooking the mountains and the world, bright, holy, and strong.

Liu Chen was overjoyed and arranged ten paintings, among which Wufu was assigned to several military camps in Shu Han, so that the soldiers could see the majesty of Liu Chen.

Another one was handed over to Xin Hai by Liu Chen and left in the East Palace, one was sent to Liu Chan by a trustee, and the rest were distributed to three large cities in Shuzhong.

"Who is this, it looks like a high knighthood, and it's very powerful!"

Seeing Liu Chen, many people who had never witnessed Liu Chen's face were dazzled, and their eyes were full of fire and reverence.

"Bastard, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, how many people in the world are so mighty?"

Hearing this, the previous person's expression froze, and then he became reverent, and even bowed down directly.

"What is Your Highness wearing, Hu Fu? Tight sleeves and long trousers, will this be too stranglesome, or will it be uncomfortable to wear? ”

A person on the side laughed directly when he heard this, and then shook his head and said:

"It is rumored that His Highness is still a constructive and extraordinary grandmaster, and this is his masterpiece, how can it be too tight or too tight?"

Hearing this, many people looked envious, and some muttered:

"It seems that this shirt and trousers are suitable for all soldiers, and it will definitely be much easier to wear, but I don't know where to sell them."

For a while, Liu Chen's mighty image, as well as his gorgeous and weird clothes, became the object of discussion for many people, and many people showed great expectations for him.

Soon, it was rumored that the standard suit worn by Liu Chen had been set as an improved military uniform, which made many people happy, and it was an incomparably glorious thing for them to follow in Liu Chen's footsteps.

In the past 20 days of Liu Chen's deliberations, many shops have been opened in various places in Shuhan at the same time, and the things sold are very attractive.

Whether it is a set of carved tables and chairs, reclining chairs, or chairs with wooden wheels, many people who have just seen these things have fallen in love with this thing.

At the same time, Liu Chen discussed with Sun Xiu to open discussions in the border cities of the two countries, selling a series of goods such as steel carbon, tables and chairs to all parts of Jingzhou, and also actively infiltrating Wu County in the east.

Suddenly, countless amounts of money gathered from all over the Shu Han court, and it was not only Liu Chen's court that benefited, but also Sun Xiu.

According to the original agreement, it was ten taxes and one tax, so Sun Xiu didn't do anything, and he got countless money, which was a huge help to this person who was at a loss for his ambitions.

As for Sun Xiu's contribution to the imperial court with a small part of this money, the rest either secretly bought ordnance, or hoarded military rations, or bribed local officials, but he did not talk about it.

In addition, there is also a part of the profit, that is, the professional caravan supported by Liu Chen.

But under Liu Chen's new policy, these people are no longer called caravans, but are registered as merchants in the government, that is, the earliest family-owned companies.

Liu Chen not only lowered the price to cooperate with these people, but also gave a special brand, if there was something wrong, he could let the local officials help deal with it, otherwise he would be sued.

Among them, Hou Jiahou Baolin of Jiangyou and Tang Xingchang of Tangjiabao are the two most powerful.

Hou Junji took the initiative to seek cooperation because he saw the interests in this, while Tangjiabao was because of his strong martial arts and many men in the rivers and lakes, so it was reasonable to become bigger.

Although they profited, Liu Chen had one demand, that is, to give up the land and slaves in his hands, which was not allowed in Liu Chen's New Deal Chinese style.

Some people who watched on the sidelines missed the first wave of opportunities, simply because they were reluctant to hold the land and slave tribes in their hands.

This is also understandable, after all, since ancient times, whether it is the tribal era or the later monarchy era, the competition is for land and population, and even a generation of great men will say the words "there is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart", which shows that this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And Liu Chen contracted the land he had recaptured to some reliable people, forming the earliest land contract system.

With Liu Chen's efforts, although Shu Han is only a little more than one state, the scene of prosperity and prosperity presented in the entire land of Shu has made many people blush.

Due to the increased investment of the two sides, the Huaiyang war once fell into a more severe state of anxiety, and the Wu State naturally could not compare the national strength with the Jin State, so they began to ask Shu Han for help.

At this time, under the auspices of Liu Chen, many simple bows and crossbows were cast by the survey, and as soon as the high stove came out, the level of ironmaking was greatly improved, resulting in Shu Han's weapons becoming more and more sharp and durable.

And Wu Guo is aiming at these things, hoping that Liu Chen will lend a helping hand, take this opportunity to overwhelm the Jin State, and then divide the world equally.

But at this time, Liu Chen's waist began to harden, and for the messenger sent by Wu Guo, he waved his hand and said with a smile:

"At the beginning, the covenant only said not to attack each other, so these orphans can't either, and besides, the people in Shu Han are weak and can't provide these, so we can't do it for free."

In the face of Liu Chen's tough and scoundrel attitude, Sun Hao was very annoyed, smashed the case table in front of him, and shouted:

"Liu Chen, the hateful thief, not only refused to help his allies, but also took advantage of the time when his allies were suffering to get rich and develop national strength, how can he bear such a tiger and wolf heart?"

Hearing this, Pu Yangxing below also frowned, and sighed for a long time:

"Your Majesty, this battle has been delayed for too long, the country is tired and the troops are sleepy, if you don't have the certainty of a decisive victory, you have to withdraw decisively!"

Hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed in Sun Hao's eyes, and then he returned to normal, looked at Wan Yu in front of him, and said:

"Wen Bin, what do you think?"
