Huo Guang had already returned to the Sanjueguan military camp, so naturally he couldn't know what would happen in the Chang'an Dynasty in the first place, but in the afternoon of the next day. ( Pingnan Romance)

These things are closely related to Huo Guang's actions yesterday. First of all, at the beginning of the court meeting, the big farmer Chengkong only took the initiative to say something in front of the Manchu civil and military that caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty.

Kong Wei, Dongguo Xianyang, and Sang Hongyang took the initiative to donate most of their family property to fill the treasury, of which only Sang Hongyang's family donated 13,000 catties of gold, and the total amount of gold donated by the three families was as high as 50,000 catties.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was the most gold in the history of our country, and the 50,000 catties of gold were really measured at that time about 250 grams of gold. This number may seem a little incredible in later generations, but although it is also a huge wealth in the Western Han Dynasty, it is indeed a real thing.

The mystery of the disappearance of a large amount of gold in the Western Han Dynasty has always been an unsolved case in the field of historiography, but no matter from the unearthed cultural relics or documentary records, this period of gold is indeed very rich, such as when Liu Wu, the king of Liang who assisted Emperor Jing to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, died, there were still more than 400,000 catties of gold stored in Guangfu. The closer one is recorded, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's reward to the general Wei Qing has been as high as 200,000 gold in the past ten years, and this 200,000 gold is only a pure gold reward, not counting the brocade silk of the homestead slave.

Compared to these top magnates, the donations of the three businessmen seem to be nothing, but no matter who knows, Kong only and them are just the beginning. Because this incident is still the aftermath of Huo Guang's forced liquidation of the Gate Army, as soon as this signal came out, Kong only and others donated part of their family property, which can be regarded as these businessmen taking the initiative to retreat and hope that this matter will be over.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relented at this time, it is conceivable that there would definitely be merchants who would donate some of their property one after another, perhaps these properties would be inferior to the amount of money that should be paid, but it would definitely be a good thing for the central finance.

Huo Guang didn't expect that these businessmen would take the initiative to back down. And the performance of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seems to have really accepted the compromise of these merchants, because at this court meeting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly suspended Yan Yi for introspection on the grounds that the great farmer Ling Yan was in Jiuqing and had no merit in the society, and announced at that time that Kong would only temporarily replace the Great Agricultural Order, and at the same time enter Sanghong Yang and Dongguo Xianyang as the Great Nongcheng.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that Kong only temporarily replaced the Great Agricultural Order, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that this so-called temporary generation was just a process, and Kong was originally just a Great Nong Cheng, an official of a thousand stones, but the Great Agricultural Order was one of the Nine Qings, and the important minister of the two thousand stones. If it is done in one step, it will inevitably attract micro-rhetoric, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came up with this method of temporary substitution.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's move was beyond Huo Guang's expectations, but Huo Guangzhi did not regret it very much, because he knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was going to reuse this group of people and use merchants to govern the current Han economy, which was the national policy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and this would not change because of some small actions of Huo Guang.

When Sang Hongyang and the others were also secretly rejoicing, in fact, everyone didn't know that the real reason for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to remove Yan Yi was not only to make way for Kong Yi, but also to completely because Yan Yi was talentless and virtuous, and he couldn't do the position of the Great Agricultural Order.

You must know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has attacked the Xiongnu in recent years, and the burden of the central government has long been on the verge of collapse, but in this case, Yan Yi can still support the various measures of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even Shanglin Yuan is still expanding again and again.

At present, only a few people know about this matter, including Kong Wei and others. The thing that can be connected with Yan Yi is naturally also about the economy, and when it comes to this matter, Zhang Tang has to be involved, because the disagreement between Yan Yi and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was proposed by Zhang Tang.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was an unwritten rule, that is, although the duty of the imperial historian was to picket and supervise hundreds of officials, but because the three princes had a considerable right to speak in the foreign dynasties, they were actually the substantive deputy ministers, and throughout the Western Han Dynasty, except for a few prime ministers, most of the prime ministers were promoted from the imperial historians. And in this case, if you meet a relatively strong and deeply trusted imperial historian, it is actually the imperial historian who is exercising the power of the prime minister, and Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, is obviously stronger than Prime Minister Li Cai.

It is for this reason that many of the national policies of the Han Dynasty during this period were not formulated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Li Cai, but with Zhang Tang, such as the Qian Order. Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yan Yi have a disagreement, also because Zhang Tang proposed a method that can gather all the princes and high-ranking officials of each county.

This method is known as the 'white deerskin coin', which is known as the first paper money in the history of Chinese currency. Zhang Tang is a cool official, a cadre, and an incorruptible official, but he is indeed not the material for governing the economy, and the strategies proposed by Zhang Tang in terms of economic policy have basically been denied by later generations, including the money order, which also does more harm than good, and this white deer skin coin is also another bad idea of Zhang Tang on economic issues.

Because the white deer was a symbol of auspiciousness in ancient times, a large number of white deer were raised in the Shanglin Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the white deer would also die, so Zhang Tang thought of using these white deer skins to paint them as a kind of currency. He asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to set this kind of white deer coin with no actual value as equivalent to 400,000 yuan, and then stipulated that the princes of the kingdom and the princes of each county should present the 'white deer skin coin' when they entered Beijing to meet him. In this way, it is tantamount to asking the princes for money in disguise, but the white deer skin coin involves auspiciousness, and people can't say anything, because according to the regulations, these princes have to offer something when they meet them, but now it has become a clear price!

The princes refer to the kings of the kingdoms and the princes of the country, and the Taishou of a county is not all a figure on the rich side, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knows that these people are very rich, Zhang Tang's suggestion once again said to the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already moved.

However, the issue of currency has to be discussed with the Great Agricultural Order, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found Yan Yi, but Yan Yi has managed the economy for so many years, and he still knows a lot about the economic laws and the basic formulation of currency. And this leather coin is worth 400,000 yuan, and its own value is only a few dozen, which is too disproportionate and violates the currency system! ”

Yan Yi undoubtedly denied Zhang Tang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what he meant was that the princes were all based on the cangbi, which were originally worth thousands, and the leather coins were not worth a few dollars at all, but they cost 400,000, and the value did not match at all. The leather currency obviously violated the monetary laws of the time, and this kind of paper money was the same product as the paper money of later generations, which in Yan Yi's view was tantamount to a completely irresponsible means of accumulating people's wealth.

I have to admit that Yan Yi is still a very upright person, at least he is a person who really starts from the overall situation of the world, because the emergence of paper money is equivalent to completely transferring all national risks to the people, which is the best proof in a change of dynasty in later generations, a government that is about to collapse in the end of the crazy issuance of paper money, and the people's property becomes worthless, and when the final regime collapses, those paper money can only be used to paste the wall.

Two thousand years later, this is still the case, let alone the current Western Han Dynasty? Yan Yi denied the white deer skin coin from a professional point of view, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's original intention did not mean to let the white deer skin coin really circulate, but this has already made Yan Yi and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty centrifuge, and this consequence is naturally that Yan Yi was degraded, let him go home and reflect on it. Yan Yi knew that his career in this life was over, but he didn't know that he disobeyed the will of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and only ended up being dismissed, but his denial was tantamount to offending Zhang Tang, and this led to murder for him!

When the whole of Chang'an was sorry for Yan Yi to lose the position of the Great Agricultural Order, this important minister, who was one of the Jiuqing yesterday, could only drink in the courtyard alone and depressed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed him from his position, but kept the title for him, which allowed him to live a prosperous life.

Completely different from the Yan family is Kong Wei, Sang Hongyang and Dongguo Xianyang, at this moment, these three businessmen are gathering in Kong Wei's mansion, not only the three of them, but also many Chang'an magnates also come to congratulate Kong Wei, of course, these so-called magnates are only officials of about 1,000 stones, there are so many more than 2,000 stones, and there is no such important minister as the middle 2,000 stones.

"Ah Guang, I heard that you are not in the county government these days, did Your Majesty arrange things for you? Your actions yesterday were in line with Your Majesty's intentions, but unfortunately it is equivalent to letting Sang Hongyang and others take the throne! "Huo Qu has not seen Huo Guang for several days, and it is rare to see Huo Guang return home today, so the brothers sat together and talked.

"It's true that Your Majesty has orders, but it's about Your Majesty, and I ask my brother not to delve into it, I didn't expect Sang Hongyang and them to be so courageous, but if I don't do that, I'm afraid it will be a real disaster!" Huo Guang also had to admire the courage of Sang Hongyang and Kong Wei, but he didn't want Huo Qubing to know about what Emperor Wu of Han told him, because this matter could really lead to death, which is why Huo Guang said that if he didn't forcibly implement the money order, a catastrophe would come.

Huo Guang knew in his heart that he single-handedly manipulated this vision from heaven that fooled the world, which was equivalent to grabbing the pigtail of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the "Feng Zen Book" was also offered by himself, both of which were merits, but they were also life-urging talismans. And in such a situation, if you want to make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feel at ease with yourself, then you can only show your weaknesses, or set up a few powerful enemies for yourself, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feels that Huo Guang can only survive by relying on himself, and forcibly pushing the money order is the first step that Huo Guang takes, and this step is to make himself the enemy of the rich businessmen and giants in the world.

And this is just the first step, it can be said that the current Huo Guang is equivalent to digging a deep pit for himself, and then jumping down obediently, but he can't help jumping, if he doesn't jump behind him, there is an abyss, and jumping the pit is also reused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if you don't jump, then a catastrophe will come!

"Well, you need to be extremely cautious in doing things for Your Majesty, although this is not a battlefield, it is more dangerous than the real battlefield, and one bad thing is that not only will you be in trouble, but you will also implicate your clansmen. Recently, there has been an undercurrent surging in the DPRK and China, and it seems that it will not be peaceful in the next few months! "Huo Qubing knew from Huo Guang that the things that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him were by no means simple, at least Huo Qubing could not mobilize this army without the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he also knew that there were some things that the fewer people knew, the better, Huo Guang was reluctant to say, so it naturally made sense.

"What? What did the brother perceive? After all, Huo Guang is not in the court, the scope of his contact is still very small, and what he does can only be done by figuring out the intentions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he is not clear about the situation in the court and some hidden undercurrents.

"I found out that someone was secretly investigating Gao Buzhi, it should be Li Cai's person. However, for no reason, Li Cai could not and did not dare to do this, I suspect that it was the meaning of the palace. Maybe this is the response and counterattack to that incident! Huo Quzhi said helplessly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he could see that this matter was definitely not as easy as he said.

"Investigate Yi Guanhou? This is tantamount to obviously coming for my brother, it seems that Your Majesty is really resentful, do you want to discuss it with your uncle? "Huo Guang knew that anyone who wanted to deal with Gao Buzhi or Zhao Ponu would be tantamount to wanting to cut off Huo Qu's arm. As Huo Qubing said, this should be instructed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Li Cai, because although Li Cai is the prime minister, he does not have the strength to directly compete with Huo Quzhi, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly a response and counterattack to Huo Qubing forcing him to be crowned the third king of the country!

"This matter can't be expanded any further, if you have to do it, you can only ignore the grievances, as long as you save his life, we can make him come back in the future!" Huo Quzhi sighed softly, this is the first time Huo Guang has seen Huo Quzhi compromise, when facing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a character as strong as Huo Quzhi had to back down, and even he had already given birth to a plan to save Gao Buzhi's life.

"Oops...... If Gao Buzhi's arm is broken, it will be a big blow to his brother, even if it is a loss for the entire Wei Huo relative, the key is the brother's body...... "Huo Guang has been too busy recently, so busy that he can't care about Huo Quai, if Gao Buzhi is really cleaned up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then it is the beginning of the decline of Wei Huo's relatives, because in front of this, Wei Huo's relatives only have rewards and never depreciate." And what's more serious is that Huo Quai's remaining life should not be much, and when Huo Qubing dies, it will be the real crisis of Wei Huo's relatives!
