Speaking of business-related matters, Sui Yu looked at Liu Yu's gaze and became bright, and lost the shyness of her youngest daughter's family. But under the four eyes, Sui Yu quickly returned to her original appearance and lowered her head timidly.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "The young eunuch of the Department of Commerce and Trade bids according to the merchant's bid, and there is no restriction on gender. There are four to twenty deputy prisoners under the young prison, and the details have not yet been finalized, and the contact with businessmen and the details are still formulated, hoping to get Miss Sui's help. ”

Sui Yu lowered her head, nodded and said, "General Liu is in need, and the little woman should assist with her heart." ”

With Sui Yu's approval, Liu Yu is a lot more down-to-earth, he doesn't have Sui Yu's ability in business, and he is not as broad as Sui Yu in terms of contacts. What he can provide is policy help, probably as long as it is beneficial to the imperial court's finances and merchants, and he can also accommodate some seemingly unconventional regulations.

Sui Yu soon went back to contact some big businessmen, originally Chang'an City had its own chamber of commerce, but these chambers of commerce were formed spontaneously by businessmen, and were not protected by the government. But after Sui Yu, the big boss of the Sui family, came forward, those big businessmen dispelled their worries and prepared to negotiate the details with Liu Yu, the general person in charge of this matter.

When it comes to merchants, even if it is the policy of the imperial court, it must be done as if it were a business. There was a free lunch, and those merchants would think that the court had other plans, saying that it was the shrewdness of the merchants or their habits, and Liu Yu had to learn how to deal with the merchants who saw the money.

In a day or two, Sui Yu has already contacted most of the big businessmen in Chang'an City, and the young eunuchs and deputy supervisors of the Commerce and Trade Department will basically be produced from these people. Big businessmen drive small traders. Details such as designated tax rates, industry rules, etc., also need to be made by big businessmen. In order to prevent monopoly, the best way is for the Department of Commerce and Trade to monopolize these big businessmen first. The rules will only be meaningful when they are all under the same rules, instead of working separately as in the past, using improper means to suppress each other's peers.

The first preparatory meeting of the Department of Commerce and Trade was scheduled to be held on the 10th day of August, when in addition to the general person in charge Liu Yu and a group of businessmen, there were also some officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, so as to facilitate the establishment of specific yamen and the issue of tax rates. On the ninth day of August. Liu Yu has submitted the details of the first copy of the Commerce and Trade Department to the new emperor, in order to avoid extraneous complications, this copy Liu Yu did not plan to get to the court, and directly let Su Yan pass it.

Liu Yu came out with the copywriting and holy decree of the imperial approval, and met Zheng Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, with Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu to face the saint. The military department of the conscription has played a detailed recital, because this matter has been decided in advance, and the recital of the military department has not changed from the one set that day, as the person in charge of this conscription, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu will come to meet the holy request. Qi Fang will be promoted to the second rank general, and Zhang Wuzhu will be promoted from the second rank to the general. He is about to leave Chang'an in the near future.

"Zheng Shangshu, it seems that you are very efficient." Liu Yu looked at Zheng Chang with his hand. Zheng Chang didn't expect to meet Liu Yu again at the gate of Yaqian Palace, originally he planned to take full charge of this matter with the Ministry of War, and Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu both planned to be incorporated into his own people. As everyone knows, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu had already informed Liu Yu of the original situation.

The Ministry of War is nominally responsible for the military affairs of the whole country, but now within Tongguan, the military power is under Liu Yu's control, and the commanders of large and small military generals are all transferred by Liu Yu. Since Tongguan, although there has been no public betrayal of the imperial court, until now, no letter of allegiance to the new emperor has been handed to Chang'an City. Many self-respecting magistrates and vassal kings are taking a wait-and-see attitude, and the news of the former emperor Bintian will also be reported to the whole country in the next few days.

Zheng Chang originally wanted to gather the new army, but now it seems that it is impossible. Zheng Chang and Liu Yu have the same official rank, and in the face of Liu Yu's almost sarcastic words, he just smiled indifferently: "You are still a step ahead of the forward army." ”

Now Liu Yu's role in the imperial court and even the Dashun Dynasty is quite obvious, and he has the power to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so many courtiers loyal to the Dashun Dynasty regard Liu Yu as a mortal enemy. But in fact, Liu Yu did not intend to support the army and become a powerful minister or rebel, all the plans he implemented were for the purpose of stabilizing the Great Shun Dynasty, not out of selfishness.

The scale of this conscription was 6,000 men, all of whom were infantry, but Liu Yu meant to train these recruits into a first-class combat reserve army that could shoot on horseback and plough the fields. When Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu went to meet Xinjun, Liu Yu also left them alone to explain some specific issues.

"This conscription is not only for disaster relief, but to build a brave and warlike army, I will write to you when I go back in terms of training subjects, this time there will be a period of time when I leave Chang'an City, and you will also take care of your family affairs in advance."

Zhang Wuzhu has a lot of mothers-in-law and children in his family, and he has a lot of things to explain, but Qi Fang now has no brothers and sisters except for his mother, and his only wish to get married as soon as possible has also been stranded because Liu Zhaoyuan went to the border.

After everything was said, Liu Yu was about to leave, but Qi Fang said: "Brother Liu, someone came to Brother Wei yesterday, saying that he wanted to join the army. ”

Liu Yu was a little puzzled, is there a person? Does he know too?

"Who?"

"It's Liu Wu who went with us to collect food, he didn't have much knowledge, and he felt that there was no way out in Jingzhao Mansion, so he was always oppressed by his colleagues and suffered from a wretched body. When I heard that Brother Zhang and I were ordered to recruit soldiers, I said that I would recruit him as a vanguard first. In other words, I was afraid that Brother Liu would use him for other purposes, so I didn't agree, and wanted to ask you what you meant. ”

Speaking of which, since returning to Chang'an, Liu Yu has not had many opportunities to meet these old friends around him, and he is always busy. But Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu have leisure time, and after escorting Tang Cai and Gan Mao's two uncles and nephews to cultivate Nanyang Gan this time, they have to drink with Liu Wu and them in Chang'an City to catch up with them.

When Liu Yu first used Liu Wu, he completely felt that he had an aura, knew each other very well, and was very sincere, not the kind of villain who saw the wind and steered the rudder. Originally, he just planned to let Liu Wu go on an errand and slowly improve, but after all, Liu Wu was not from a good background and his knowledge was low, and most of the errands in Jingzhao Mansion were old oilmen who had been in the yamen for many years, and he was ashamed to be a colleague with Liu Wu, who was born in a subordinate, which made Liu Wu feel resigned.

"If he wants to join the army, let him join him, as long as he eats hard." Liu Yu said, "If he can't hold on, let him come back, and I will send him another errand." ”

Now Liu Yu cherishes these helpers around him, and any one of them is very valuable. In the past, Liu Wu couldn't be reused because he had no power in his hands, but now under the emperor, he basically covers the sky with one hand, and it is easy to cultivate anyone.

After thinking about it, in fact, there is no harm in letting Liu Wu follow Rong, people's encounters cannot rely on connections alone, and it is the right way to let him fight for himself. (To be continued......)
