"The lower official An ordered Huo Guang to meet Lord Tingwei!" Huo Guang bowed to Yang Ke in a side hall of the Tingwei Mansion, and when he met Huo Guang, Yang Ke naturally would not be in the lobby of the Tingwei Mansion, because that was the place where the guilty princes and ministers were tried.

"The Chang'an Order is coming? I've admired the name for a long time! When I saw it today, it was really a young talent, and the old man was also polite! "Yang Ke is in his forties, but in this era, he is indeed qualified to call himself an old man. He also returned the salute to Huo Guang, this gesture is not low, he did not put any Shangguan on the shelf at all, and he was almost equal to Huo Guang.

"Lord Tingwei has promoted the lower official, but the lower official has admired Lord Tingwei for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to visit him, but seeing him today has fulfilled my long-cherished wish!" Huo Guang's face is thick enough to exercise now, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all when he talks about these hypocritical and numb words, of course, this is also a necessary quality for officials.

"Haha, Huo Xianling's speech is really funny! Please come here today, there is still something I want to ask Huo County Commander to help with the staff. Yang Ke walked into Huo Guang, and motioned for Huo Guang to sit down on the seat on the side as he walked.

Huo Guang also sat on the seat with a fake smile, but Yang Ke's opening method still surprised Huo Guang a little, but after thinking about it, Huo Guang remembered that the Tingwei Mansion not only had the responsibility of adjudicating cases in prisons, but also was responsible for the formulation and revision of laws and regulations in the early Western Han Dynasty, and even the standards of weights and measures were promulgated by the Tingwei Mansion. Of course, the formulation of decrees and the standards of weights and measures cannot be the right of a single court office, but the emperor and important ministers set it together, but nominally it is indeed signed and promulgated by the court office, and this symbolic significance is very great.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang understood what Yang Ke wanted to counsel himself, and sure enough, Yang Ke immediately continued: "This is a decree that is about to be promulgated, and it has been preliminarily decided, you are in the position of Chang'an Order, and you know more about the specific public conditions than us like us, and you have experience in implementing the money order, and you also have a very strong say in this matter, so this official wants to ask you to see if there is anything that needs to be revised?" ”

At the same time as Yang Ke spoke, a subordinate official of the Tingwei Mansion walked in with a book book, without reading the content of this book, Huo Guangshan knew from Yang Ke's words that this must be the detailed rules about the 'Confession Order'. And Yang Ke found this reason quite sufficiently, just like holding a hearing before the introduction of new regulations in later generations, Huo Guang didn't even have a reason to resign.

"How can this official be virtuous? I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, right? Huo Guang said in embarrassment, his so-called inappropriateness is that his status is too low and he has no right to know these secrets.

"Hehe, Huo County's order is too humble, even His Majesty said that Chang'an Ling is a talent of Xiangguo, and this official also wants to hear Chang'an Ling's high opinion!" Yang Ke still said with a smile, and directly put a high hat on Huo Guang. Huo Guang was shocked when he heard this, it seemed that the conversation between himself and Emperor Wu of Han in the Yilan Hall a few days ago had really been spread.

Huo Guang had no choice but to open the book, and sure enough, the first three words were 'Tell the Order'. And after reading the whole article, the content of this is really not much different from the rumors in the past few days, Huo Guang actually doesn't know this history, but it is not difficult to imagine just looking at this content, as long as this decree is implemented, it will definitely evolve into a vigorous class cleansing.

"What does Chang'an Ling think?" Yang Ke estimated that Huo Guang was almost there, in fact, Yang Ke found Huo Guang, in addition to the two thoughts of righteousness, he still looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's attention to Huo Guang, because in Yang Ke's opinion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was looking for Huo Guang when he implemented the money order.

"It's a good idea, but I don't know what will happen after the implementation?" Huo Guang could only answer ambiguously, he didn't want to offend Yang Ke and Emperor Wu of Han, nor did he want to be this urgent vanguard.

"The point of this edict is to mobilize ordinary civilians, the so-called world has no impermeable walls, even if those merchants hide deeply, but in front of such a huge profit temptation, even their servants and disciples will denounce them." Yang Ke said with some pride, he is worthy of being a court lieutenant, and his understanding of people's hearts can be said to be at the peak, and this edict is to grasp the weakness of human nature, that is, the hatred of the rich mentality that has not changed for thousands of years.

"My lord is far-sighted and admires the officials, but there is something unclear about the officials, if the businessmen are bankrupt because of the lawsuit, in case no one does business in the future, I am afraid it will damage the country!" Huo Guang is not the kind of person who will do anything for the sake of power, if he can make the whole country rich and strong and the people peaceful within the scope of his ability, Huo Guang will not hesitate to do it, and he also euphemistically proposed a bad ending at the moment.

"Businessmen are profit-oriented, these people are mercenary, even if they go bankrupt because of the lawsuit, they will not give up doing business. Besides, there are no merchants in this world, isn't there still a court? What the merchant did could be done directly by the imperial court, so wasn't the salt and iron monopoly doing a good job? Yang Ke said disappreciatively, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Huo Guang in his heart. The monopoly of salt and iron is a policy implemented by Kong Zhi, Sang Hongyang and others.

In feudal society, merchants represent speculative people who only seek profits, hoard, buy and sell to earn the difference, so for a long time, merchants are the lowest category of people. In feudal society, especially in the period of low productivity, only agriculture was the foundation of the country, and in the eyes of most rulers, merchants were dispensable.

Huo Guang knew in his heart that Yang Ke's words had a big loophole, after all, salt and iron are strategic substances, and these are beneficial and stable for the state to monopolize, but if all commercial activities are completed by the state, then this is like the planned economy era in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is an act of completely abandoning the principles of market economy.

This has been well confirmed after 2,000 years, and it is not surprising that mankind will still make such mistakes after 2,000 years.

"What the adults said is reasonable, but the lower officials are too worried!" Huo Guang has thousands of years of historical experience, but he can't directly deny Yang Ke, but only nods his head and says yes.

"Since Huo Xianling has no opinions, it is better to sign and submit it to His Majesty, this is also a great achievement!" Yang Ke didn't want to say anything more, so he pushed the bamboo slip towards Huo Guang, and even asked Huo Guang to sign it as well.

"This ......" Huo Guang didn't expect Yang Ke to come to such a hand. If Huo Guang signed the 'Decree', it would undoubtedly be equivalent to agreeing to this decree, and once Huo Guang signed, it would also create a false impression to the outside world, that is, Wei Huo's relatives also supported this decree.

"My lord, this must not be done! The lower officials are not subordinate officials of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, nor are they important ministers of more than 2,000 stones, and they are not even qualified to participate in the court meeting, so how can the lower officials have the right to speak in such decrees? Please don't embarrass your lords! Huo Guang said with a serious face, he was very disgusted with Yang Ke forcing him to express his position so much, at least in this regard, Yi Zong did better than Yang Ke. If you change to an ordinary official, it is estimated that you can only be led by Yang Ke, but Huo Guang is not so easy to be manipulated, and he also told Yang Ke euphemistically, if you don't embarrass me, I can also appropriately help implement the 'Warning Order', but if you embarrass me, don't blame me or even the forces behind me for coming out against you.

The people of officialdom don't need to explain what they mean. Although Huo Guang didn't say a word, Yang Ke still felt the meaning. In this regard, Yang Ke really couldn't force Huo Guang, and in the end he could only say helplessly: "Since this is the case, the official will not force it, and Chang'an Ling will have to worry more when the time comes!" ”

"The lower official must be, if there is nothing wrong, the lower official will retire first, there are still some things waiting for me in the yamen." Huo Guang still had to accept it on the surface, and as for what to do in the future, it was another matter, and then he said goodbye and left.

Huo Guang's current principle is that it is best that all forces are not offended, and it is best not to be involved in this matter. Fortunately, the implementation of a decree is not an overnight thing, although the general framework of the 'Decree' has been released, it is estimated that there will be a few months before the specific implementation is implemented, and then it should be the next year.

It was already noon when he returned to the county government from the Tingwei Mansion, and Huo Guang took Zhen Youcai out of the city after resting, and the place where Huo Guang went was the new residence of Li Yan's family. Because there are too many people living outside Chang'an, some market towns have also formed that are beginning to take shape, and according to Li Yan's description, Huo Guang found them without much effort.

However, since Li Yan went to the Champion Hou Mansion three days ago, she has not left the Hou Mansion so far, and I don't know why Huo Guang went to the Li family this time and Li Yan didn't go with him?

At Li Yan's house, Huo Guang met Li Guangli and Li Yannian's brothers, as well as Li Yan's parents, who had never met. As soon as he heard that it was Huo Guang, the younger brother of the champion Hou, the second elder hurriedly got up to greet him, and he paid a big salute. So far, whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people, when it comes to Huo Guang, what he thinks about most is the identity of the champion Hou's younger brother.

"Uncle and aunt, Brother Guangli Yannian, I am here to say good news to you today, the Li family is overjoyed, congratulations!" Huo Guang arched his hand and said, he really looked like a congratulatory person.

This can make Li Yannian's family confused, Li Yannian and Huo Guang are relatively familiar, so they asked, "What does Master Huo mean by this?" What is the great joy of our Li family? ”

At this moment, Li Guangli looked at Huo Guang thoughtfully, he was looking forward to Huo Guang coming to propose, but looking at Huo Guang's empty-handed appearance, it didn't look like he was proposing.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is very fond of your family Yan'er, and she is already planning to send her to the palace, and she will always accompany Your Majesty from now on. Of course, in the future, your family will be a veritable relative of the emperor, isn't this a great joy? Huo Guang said with a smile on his face, feeling as if he was also stained by this.

"The woman who is the emperor?" The second elder of the Li family and Li Guangli were both stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison. But Li Yannian was a little puzzled, Li Yan's thoughts he knew a little bit about being an elder brother, he knew that Li Yan's heart was on Huo Guang, and Huo Guang definitely had feelings for his sister, but why did he suddenly say that his sister was going to become the emperor's woman? Li Yannian was a little puzzled.

Unlike Li Yannian, the second elder of the Li family and Li Guangli were excited in their hearts. They are also willing to let Li Yan be Huo Guang's woman, but if they are the emperor's woman, they are even more willing. Because the difference between the two is that the former is rich, and the latter is extremely rich!
