Chapter 19: First Meeting of Liu Hong

Zhao Meng suddenly felt that his second son Zhao Yun was unfamiliar, and when he saw the secret letter in his hand, he pondered for a long time.

"Master, maybe not as bad as you think." This person is Zhao Jiayingwei, that is, a dead soldier.

It is said that in his capacity, he only has the role of carrying out the orders of the head of the family, and will not intervene.

The relationship between people is so wonderful, in the early years, Zhao Yun, who had not long traveled, happened to see the shadow guard being bitten by a snake, and he was full of compassion and personally sucked the snake venom, and Xiao Zhao Yun's mouth was swollen for a long time.

In the eyes of other sisters-in-law, Ying Wei may be the descendants of the family, and he was born to die for the Zhao family, so he doesn't treat them as human beings at all.

If you are a human being, you will have seven emotions and six desires, even if Zhao Yun was young back then, the shadow guards have always remembered this matter.

"Huh?" Zhao Meng's eyes were cold, could it be that the second son's hand had already reached here?

"Don't misunderstand the head of the family," he is the shadow one, the one who commands all the shadow guards, and has a certain degree of autonomy, he pondered the language: "The third prince is a Shujuan, how can there be disobedience?" ”

This explanation is reasonable, Zhao Meng himself only has a little doubt, and glanced at Ying Yi meaningfully: "Go and inform him, we will see each other together." ”

Things are indeed very strange, it seems that Zhao Yun has been waiting for Liu Hong to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and then go to the capital.

However, how did he know about such a confidential matter? The shadow in Zhao Meng's heart lingered.

The Hejian Kingdom is located in the inner side of Bohai County, and is separated from Changshan Country by Gaoyi Anping.

It was only one of the many vassal states of the Han Dynasty, and it was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that it began to exert its strength.

Liu Kai, the sixth son of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, and his mother Shen Guiren. In the second year of Yongyuan, he was crowned the king of Hejian. Liu Kaifeng abides by the law, and the officials respect him. He reigned from 90 to 132 and reigned for forty-two years. 薨, nickname: King Xiao.

Because his grandson was Emperor Liu Zhi of Han Huan and his great-grandson was Emperor Liu Hong of Han Ling, he was posthumously honored as Emperor Xiaomu.

The Liu family is all over the world, and it is estimated that Liu Kai did not expect that there would be two emperors in his descendants.

The current king of Hejian, Liu Yi, is Liu Kai's great-grandson and Liu Hong's nephew.

He is still very grateful to this emperor's uncle, it is precisely because of the identity of the emperor that Hejian suddenly became the second richest place in Jizhou, and the first is naturally Changshan.

Among the Chinese emperors, there are several special wealth fans, one of whom is a fan of Renshi wealth who can be called ancient and modern, he is Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

In order to accumulate wealth, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, embarked on a new historical path of industrialization, diversification, and extreme shamelessness.

He likes to engage in industrialized operation, and it is not the goal to catch enough at a time, but the purpose is to make it all in his life.

Take tribute as an example, the Eastern Han Dynasty was the world's superpower at that time, and every year some countries sent envoys to expand good-neighborliness and friendship, and they always brought national treasures and treasures in their hands to curry favor with the Han Emperor.

But the usual process of paying tribute is to submit a list first, count it, and send it to the state treasury to become a state asset.

What the emperor wants, he has to send someone to pick it up, and some of them have to be reviewed by the relevant departments before they can reach the emperor.

Liu Hong was troublesome, so he hurried to extract the commission before the tribute was put into the warehouse, and sent it directly to the palace, which was called "prudent travel fee". The tribute continued year after year, and the prudent travel fee was not lacking every year, and he obtained the first pot of gold in his life.

After embarking on the road of industrialization, Liu Hong began to focus on the land tax, that is, the agricultural tax.

In ancient China, agricultural taxes often accounted for more than half of the total fiscal revenue.

Liu Hong's action on this shows that his IQ in terms of wealth is not ordinarily high.

The first way to do this was to tell a big lie to the people of the whole country, saying that they were going to renovate and expand the Imperial Palace, and that they were going to raise the rate of agricultural taxes in order to avoid a fiscal deficit.

There are tens of millions of acres of land in the country, and the extra ten yuan per mu is hundreds of millions a year.

Then he lied to the second one, saying that there was a shortage of wood in the palace, and that officials from all over the country were required to send as much as they wanted.

Of course, the magistrates did not dare to do so, and sent the wood to the capital on time and in good quantity.

Unexpectedly, the eunuchs in charge of acceptance were critical with an incomprehensible eye, and under normal circumstances, nine out of ten would be judged to be unqualified.

What should I do if I don't meet the requirements, Liu Hong's loss trick came out, and all localities must sell it to the central government at a tenth of the original price, and then the central government will sell it back to the localities at the market price.

Liu Hong and his eunuchs made a solid profit. As a result, after a few years, the palace was not touched, and the magistrates knew that they had fallen for the emperor.

When the people of the whole country are still learning from the big deception, the second step of Liu Hong's diversification has already begun to act.

This time he is doing real estate investment.

He took the first pot of gold and a large part of the second pot of gold back to his hometown to buy land, repair houses, and make large-scale real estate investments.

Land has been the most popular financial product since ancient times, Liu Hong is wealthy, unique vision, coupled with his own strong administrative resource advantages, within a few years, he made a steady profit.

Thanks to his uncle's blessing, Liu Ye followed behind and made a lot of money.

"It's a pity that that piece of mountain forest is wasted," Liu Hong pointed forward with his hand: "You see that there are many shops around, and if you build some houses, the price should be good." ”

"Your Majesty, that's the clan mausoleum." Liu Ye broke out in a cold sweat: "Why don't you clean up that river beach and then repair the house?" ”

"No!" Liu Hong waved his hand slightly: "When I was a child, this river has been flooding. If the water is a little bigger, it will flood, and then it will stink our reputation? ”

"Why don't you find someone random?" Liu Yi's head was alive: "We don't come forward ourselves." ”

Originally, he felt that he was sometimes very inauthentic in doing things, and he was ashamed of himself compared to the bold emperor uncle.

If Liu Hong is not the emperor, as long as he does not commit adultery in the territory of the king of Hejian, he will enter the clan mausoleum after death.

Their uncle and nephew seemed to have a family inheritance to make money, and they chatted endlessly, until the servant came to report to the father and son of the Marquis of Zhending, and they stopped talking.

It can be said that whether it is Zhao Yun or Liu Hong, they have been famous for each other for a long time, and it is the first time they have met.

As soon as they met, they looked at each other, Zhao Yun had the soul of the afterlife, and he didn't have that sense of awe for the emperor.

He has seen Liu Hong's appearance in historical classics, but none of them resemble the real person in front of him.

Because he has been in the deep palace for a long time and does not move around much on weekdays, Liu Hong looks very rich, sitting there, he can't see his specific height.

But his eyes were blank, and it was clear that there were some signs of excessive wine.

Maybe this is where he started, and there aren't many women around him, maybe it's just prostitution, and he doesn't want to be in front of his ancestors.

Since Qin Shi Huang was proclaimed emperor, when the courtiers saw the emperor, none of them were sincerely afraid, or they were as strong as the Yuan brothers, trembling in front of him, for fear that they would lose their lives if they were not careful.

Zhao Meng is different from his son, he is sighing in his heart, once upon a time, the Zhao family was just an insignificant family, but who knew that one day, there would be a chance to be a marquis and meet the emperor.

With the sense of a warrior, he could detect at least four warriors around him who were no less than his own strength.

He was sure that if his father and son made the slightest move, the most ferocious blow would follow.

Zhao Meng calmed down, touched Zhao Yun lightly, and the father and son both bowed: "The minister (grass people) Zhao Meng (Zhao Yun) knocked to see the emperor." ”

"Zhao Qing's family is exempt," Liu Hong raised his hand slightly, and reprimanded: "Zhao Zilong, are you guilty?" (To be continued.) )
