Chapter 36: The Ministers Admonish

Liu Xie called these two people here because he planned to let these two people organize a general trade association, regulate the commercial market, and control prices, so that some people would not hoard and disrupt the market, especially in this war period, all kinds of strategic materials need to be strictly controlled.

Of course, Liu Xie also has the intention of fighting the autumn wind to the two, and now he is poor! Although Yizhou has not been in the chaos of the war, it is still rich, and there is not too much shortage of food or anything, but now is the time when everything is in ruins, even his palace, and he does not dare to build much luxury, so he naturally needs to reach out to these rich merchants.

Zhen Yan is easy to say, after all, Liu Xie has called him second brother before, and coupled with the fact that Zhen Mi, a little girl, actually dares to run away, Zhen Yan is panicking in her heart!

As for Mi Zhu, in history, he wanted to take Liu Bei's strange goods and learn from Lu Buwei, but he underestimated Liu Ranran, and as a result, he lost his family property and lost his sister.

And now in this situation, no matter how dull Mi Zhu is, he also knows that Liu Bei must be out of play, unless Liu Bei dares to rebel against Liu Xie. From the fact that Liu Xie threw Liu Bei to Bajun as a taishou and left Guan Zhang Er by his side, it can be seen that Liu Xie wanted to divide them.

And judging from Liu Xie's love for Guan and Zhang, after a long time, what chance can Liu Bei have?

Liu Bei had no chance there, and Mi Zhu naturally didn't dare to have any objections to Liu Xie's not even giving him an official, after all, he was on someone else's territory! However, he had an official title in Xuzhou before, and he called himself 'Weichen' or 'Xiaguan', and there was nothing wrong with that!

And just when Mi Zhu was worried, Liu Xie came to the door and told him about the idea of establishing a general trade association. In this regard, Mi Zhu naturally couldn't help but agree, for the Mi family, who has been in business for several generations, Liu Xie's worries, Mi Zhu knew very well in his heart.

Moreover, the establishment of such a general association, although the status may not be as high as that of officials, but its power is not small, especially for other businessmen.

"Xiaguan, I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!" Mi Zhu saw the benefits of this, so he bowed directly.

Liu Xie nodded and said: "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." Businessmen seek profit, this is the surname of heaven. Why Confucianism is light on business and heavy on agriculture, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, if all the officials are profit-seeking, then the world is ...... I think the two Aiqing should be able to understand the distress of me not being able to give the two knights! ”

"Your Majesty is distressed, we will understand!"

Liu Xie nodded and said, "However, on the surface, I can't give the two officials, but secretly, I will support the two of them to run this trade association, which is not under the official management, but the official has the right to supervise." How about the two of them serving as the president and vice president of the chamber of commerce? ”

"Would you like to share your Majesty's worries?"

Seeing the attitude of these two people, Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction: "I don't have many requirements, no matter how the two of you do it, I only ask for market norms and stable prices...... In addition, I need two people to collect strategic materials in the states on my behalf! As for the commercial tax, I will redraft it, and we will definitely satisfy everyone! ”

Hearing Liu Xie's last request, Mi Zhen and the others felt that this was Liu Xie's real purpose. Looking at it like this, Liu Xie is ready to work hard to recover the Han dynasty in the future! Otherwise, there is no need to control strategic goods is not!

At the end, Liu Xie added, "The two of you must not use the banner of me to collude with officials and businessmen and compete with the people for profit!" Otherwise, Hugh blames me for not being emotional! ”

Seeing Liu Xie's serious expression, the two hurriedly expressed their stance and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will abide by the rules and dare not mess around!" ”

Then, the three continued to chat for a while, and the eunuch Zhang Jian came to ask Liu Xie to have dinner, so he asked Zhen Mi and the two to leave.

After the meal, I heard Zhang Jian running to report, and Fu Guozhang asked to see him.

The purpose of Fu Guozhang's visit was to persuade Liu Xie to listen to Zhao Wen's opinion, after all, this is Chengdu and Yizhou, if Liu Xie does not marry a woman from the Yizhou Shi clan as a concubine, it will be too insecure for the Yizhou Shi clan. Liu Xie can understand such a statement, but he does not agree with it.

However, Fu Wan smiled and said, "Doesn't Your Majesty want to marry the daughter of the Cai family?" might as well agree to Zhao Situ's invitation, and at the same time, in exchange with him, he can't stop the matter of marrying the daughter of the Cai family......"

Liu Xie looked at Fu Wan, watched quietly, and when he saw that Fu Wan's expression was a little unnatural, Liu Xie said: "Guozhang, if an outsider says this, I have already beaten the mess out at this time!" What are the words of the abbot? As a king, how can he make such a deal with his ministers? In the long run, the king will not be a king, and the minister will not be a minister! ”

As soon as he heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, realized how wrong he was, and hurriedly knelt down and asked Liu Xie for his guilt!

Liu Xie sighed, helped Fu Wan up, and said, "Guozhang, please get up!" Tell me the truth, if Zhao Wen is allowed to do this, will he send the daughter of the Zhao family to the palace? Just moved the capital, it was just when all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, he was so impatient, it was really unreasonable! ”

Fu Wan smiled bitterly: "Zhao Situ is a native of Chengdu, so he will naturally think about how to make his family more prosperous. And this incident just gave him a chance! And the daughter of the Cai family, everyone knows that she was indeed married, and she ran back from her mother's house back then, and her behavior was ......"

Although Fu Wan didn't continue, Liu Xie knew what he meant by his words. But Liu Xie didn't think there was anything about it, the Wei family bullied her, she was a weak woman, and her husband hung up again, what else could she do except run back to her parents' house for protection?

Liu Xie nodded and said, "I know what they think, but if I compromise today, what about next time?" Whenever there is a disagreement, I have to compromise all the time? The more Liu Xie spoke, the more angry he became, he reached out and patted the armrest of the chair, stood up, shook his sleeves and hummed: "I am the king of a country, what kind of woman do I like, do I still need others to point fingers and talk nonsense for me?" It's really the other way around! ”

Seeing that Liu Xie was determined, he could only sigh helplessly after finishing the ambush, and turned around to leave.

But just as he was about to leave, Liu Xie said again: "I heard that there is a daughter under the knee of Dong Cheng, who is the ruling Jinwu......"

Hearing this, Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "The old minister has also heard about it!" ”

Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Hmm! If the prince has nothing else to do, I want to rest! ”

"The old minister retires!"

After Fu finished leaving, Fu Shou walked out from behind the screen, and said with a coquettish smile: "Your Majesty has taken a fancy to the daughter of the Dong family?" ”

The corners of Liu Xie's lips raised slightly, although she didn't know how beautiful that Dong Guiren was in history, but she was willing to take the risk of letting her Lao Tzu take the edict to find Liu Ran for the sake of his throne, and she knew that this woman was also a good woman, at least after this woman married Liu Xie, she was devoted to Liu Xie.

Moreover, how can you say that Dong Guiren is also a historical celebrity, he was originally one of his wives, and now he is married, isn't it right?

"I'm annoying!" Liu Xie's smile quickly turned into a wry smile, he reached out and pulled Fu Shou and let him sit in his arms, then took her hand, put it on his temple, and said, "Rub it for me...... Sigh! This is just the capital moved! Those old diehards have already started to plan for themselves! ”

Fu Shou gently massaged him, and said with a smile: "Since those old ministers are annoying Your Majesty with this, why doesn't Your Majesty just plan it, let them select the show girls first, and then send someone to secretly investigate the identities of those show girls, and then eliminate those women who have a relationship with the ministers of the court...... In this way, they have nothing to say, Your Majesty can also be quieter, and the Cai family sisters can also enter the palace naturally, wouldn't it be better? ”

"You can also support one or a few new scholars, right?" Liu Xie stretched out his hand and pinched her little nose, and said with a smile: "When did Zhangtong become so resourceful?" After a pause, he said: "However, I have already told the national abbot that I will not compromise on this matter!" ”

Fu Shou sighed lightly, and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, if it is too rigid, it is easy to break!" In the past, the concubines hoped that His Majesty would be wise and martial, but now, the concubines are a little worried that His Majesty is too strong......"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu is out asking to see you!" At this time, Zhang Jian's voice sounded outside the porch, and he lowered his head and looked at his toes.

Liu Xie slapped his forehead and sighed: "It is estimated that the teacher is also here to persuade me, alas! Forget it, declare it! ”
