A palace guard guarding outside the hall heard Liu Wei's call, hurriedly entered the hall, and stood in the door with his fists clenched.

Glancing at the officer, Liu Wei said to him: "Immediately order each battalion to check the amount of grain and grass, how long is enough for the army to go out to eat!" ”

"No!" The officer answered, turned and left the antechamber.

When the officer left, Pang Tong asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness wants to send troops to Keri?" ”

"No!" Liu Wei shook his head and said to Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu who were sitting in the hall: "You must step up your efforts to urge officials and businessmen to raise food!" ”

"Your Highness, what should you do with the officials and Wang Bin who were captured earlier?" When it came to official and business food raising, Jia Xu clenched his fists and asked Liu.

After interrogation, Wang Bin and the officials involved in the case had already confessed to the crime.

Several of the officials who pleaded guilty earlier had their families pardoned by Liu Bian, but they were demoted to commoners, and from then on they could only live like ordinary people.

There are also officials who confess their convictions late, and their relatives are still in prison.

As for Wang Bin, because he was the first evil, Liu Wei only ordered his whole family to be arrested, but he did not send it down.

"The first evil family members who are still in prison are all sent to slavery!" Frowning slightly, Liu Wei was silent for a moment, and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe will handle this matter, as for Wang Bin's family, they will be assigned to hard labor!" ”

"How to deal with the first evil?" Liu Wei first sent the criminal's family, and Jia Xu maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowed to him, and asked him a question.

"Show the public!" Liu Wei didn't think about it, so he said to Jia Xu: "No matter how you admit your guilt, the first evil will be killed!" Now I know that it is too late to regret it! ”

"No!" After getting Liu Bian's words, Jia Xu responded, stood up and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty will do it!" ”

After Jia Xu left, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Xu Shu and Pang Tong again, and said to the two: "Yuan Zhi is responsible for the military rations, as for Shi Yuan, the training of the elephant soldiers is urgent at the moment, and you take on the responsibility of providing the elephant soldiers with their needs!" ”

"No!" Xu Shu and Pang Tong also responded, and then left the front hall, each following Liu Wei's arrangement and carrying out the order.

After several people left the front hall, Liu Wei walked to the door of the front hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the front door of the palace, and shouted behind him: "Wang Liu, Wang Zhen, go out with this king!" ”

Hearing that Liu Wei was going out, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen hurriedly responded and followed him to the main gate of the palace.

After a long period of recuperation, Luoyang City is now a prosperous scene.

The city is full of shops, and the people who come and go on the streets seem to be very busy, each busy with their own livelihood.

Surrounded by Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and a team of palace guards, Liu Wei left the palace and walked straight to the prison.

When Liu Wei left the house, he would never shill the soldiers to clear the way.

Seeing Liu Wei riding a horse and leading a team of palace guards out, the people on the street got out of the way and stood on both sides of the road to make way for him.

A pair of eyes stared at Liu Wei, and it was not until he was far away that the people returned to the middle of the market.

"Your Highness's face doesn't seem to be right!" Looking at the backs of Liu Wei and the others, who had already gone away, a young man said to another young man beside him: "I'm afraid there is something going on in the city!" ”

"What can happen!" The other young man pursed his lips and took over the conversation and said, "Didn't you see that Your Highness is going to prison?" ”

"How do you know that Your Highness is going to prison?" The young man who spoke first looked at the young man who answered him with a suspicious face.

"The direction Your Highness is going to go to prison!" Muttering down the street corner where Liu Wei and the others had disappeared, the young man said, "Earlier, some officials and a businessman who bribed officials were arrested in the city!" I think I'll be able to see people beheaded in two days! ”

"No, it won't!" The young man who spoke first was still a little unconvinced, he shook his head and said, "They are all officials, Your Highness still wants them to govern the place, how can it be said that they will be killed?" ”

"Are you the Great Qin elsewhere?" Looking at the young man, another young man pursed his lips and said, "In Great Qin, I'm afraid His Highness doesn't pay attention to these things. As long as someone dares to fill their own pockets or ride on the heads of the people, I am afraid that if they are not wiped out, they will be almost gone! ”

After listening to this young man's words, the young man who first said that something might happen in the city looked at the direction of Liu Wei's departure, nodded and said: "Under the whole world, it is still the most comfortable to be a common person in Daqin!" ”

Leading Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and others, Liu Wei walked slowly along the street.

Along the way, he observed the people on the street and the shops on both sides that were open for business, and after walking two streets, he suddenly saw that there were more than a dozen shops in the street in front of him, all with closed doors.

"What's going on with those shops?" Raising his hand and pointing to the more than ten shops with closed doors, Liu Wei asked Wang Liu, who was following behind him.

Glancing forward in the direction of Liu Wei's finger, Wang Liucai said to him: "Your Highness Qiqi, those shops are Wang Bin's industry!" ”

"Are there any other shops?" Looking at the shops with closed doors, Liu Wei frowned tightly and asked Wang Liu.

"Wang Bin is in Luoyang City, with strong financial resources, and there are really many shops in addition!" Clenching his fists and bowing in response, Wang Liu said to Liu Wei: "There are several other streets, and there are Wang Bin's shops on each street, which is about seventy or eighty!" ”

"What a fat giant worm!" After listening to Wang Liu's report, Liu Wei said to her: "If the order goes down, all Wang Bin's shops will be returned to the palace, and the shops will be auctioned at a discount, and those with high prices will get it!" All the due income is used to exchange for military supplies! ”

"No!" Wang Liu answered, turned his head and whispered a command to a soldier behind him.

The soldier got Wang Liu's order, hurriedly responded, and turned his horse and ran in the direction of the Luoyang official mansion.

Passing in front of a row of shops with closed doors, Liu Wei's brows were always tightly wrinkled.

More than ten shops, if the door is always closed every day, Luoyang City will lose the income of more than ten shops.

What's more, Wang Bin has more than 80 shops under his name, and now Wang Bin is certain to die, and his relatives may not have the opportunity to do business again in the future.

There are more than 80 shops, and if they are idle, it is better to auction them off to merchants in the city.

"Your Highness, there will be something in the end, if you don't say it, it will be like a fish in your throat!" followed Liu Wei forward for a while, and Wang Zhen hugged his fists and said a word to Liu Bian.

Hearing Wang Zhen speak, Liu Wei turned his head to look at her and said to her: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Luoyang City has today's prosperity, and it completely depends on officials and businessmen!" With both hands clenched into fists, facing Liu Wei, Wang Zhen said to him: "But has Your Highness ever thought that officials and businessmen have the disadvantages of officials and businessmen!" ”

"The disadvantages of officials and businessmen?" What Wang Zhen said, Liu Wei had never heard anyone mention, he reined in the horse, turned his head to look at Wang Zhen, and said to her: "If you have any ideas, you only come by pipe!" ”

"Those who do business are nothing more than a good word!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Wang Zhen rode on horseback and said to Liu Wei: "Officials and businessmen travel to and from the world, and what is consumed is the copper money of the government treasury. Most of the profits are also paid to the treasury, and they get very little! ”

Listening to Wang Zhen's words, Liu Wei didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"At present, Daqin businessmen are gathered, and the goods from all over the country are complete, and the sale of goods has long become a trend!" Bowing her head and facing Liu Wei, Wang Zhen was still a little apprehensive when she spoke, but she still said the words: "Earlier, His Royal Highness was exempted from taxation just to attract foreign businessmen, but now that the Daqin area has become a climate, there is no need to take tax-free measures." As an official and businessman who gathers wealth under tax exemption, it should also be changed to a private businessman, so that it is appropriate! ”

"Your Highness can be regarded as a livelihood, if a businessman turns into a private businessman! The income is their own, how can they not work hard? Raising his head slightly to look at Liu Wei, Wang Zhen's voice was much quieter than Fang Cai: "At that time, His Royal Highness will have ten taxes and one tax, or even twenty taxes and one, I am afraid that the income will be more than that of today's officials and businessmen!" ”

stared at Wang Zhen without blinking, until Wang Zhen lowered his head, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and asked her: "This king always thought that you had a different idea, and today it was!" Let this king give serious consideration to what you have mentioned. ”

Knowing that Liu Bianhui seriously considered her proposal, Wang Zhen, who was still worried in her heart, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Liu Bian.

When Wang Zhen said this, Wang Liu on the side blinked his eyes and didn't understand a word.

For Wang Liu, what Wang Zhen said is really a little too complicated.

She just couldn't understand what was the benefit of private government, business, and business.

In her opinion, as long as it is a businessman, what he does is nothing more than the word profit, whether it is an official businessman or a businessman who will be privately owned in the future, it is just for profit.

Liu Wei will not be as simple as Wang Liu.

Wang Zhen's words made Liu Wei secretly frightened.

He didn't expect that by his side, there would be a talent like Wang Zhen.

Just a simple analysis, the analysis of human nature was vividly and vividly, and the current Daqin is still dependent on the pillar, and it is likely to become a Guangsha borer in the near future.

After walking a few more streets, Liu Wei gradually saw the main gate of Luoyang Prison.

The soldiers guarding the prison saw a team marching towards them, and were about to step forward to interrogate, when they found that it was Liu Wei who led the team, so they hurriedly stood on both sides, and saluted Liu Wei with both hands in fists.

Nodding to the soldiers, Liu Wei did not dismount, and rode straight into the front yard of the prison.

As soon as he entered the front yard of the prison, Liu Wei found that the courtyard was already full of prisoners who looked ragged, and Jia Xu was holding a roster, pointing the names of the prisoners one by one.

It may be that the time limit for the Dao of Enlightenment has arrived, and the prisoners are all sad, and many women and children are even crying.

Looking at these people who were about to be demoted to official slaves, Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

Many of these people may be behind the scenes to encourage officials to do evil, but many more are innocent. However, in order to make an example and make other officials who have not yet done the same thing a wake-up call, he had to resort to this relatively cruel sitting.
