The order was an economic measure promulgated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to alleviate financial pressure and crack down on Haoqiang, and the main content was to collect taxes on merchant goods, cars, ships, farms, livestock, and even slaves and maids. 【Fengyun Reading Network. After the promulgation of this decree, Shang Jia Haoqiang was required to report his property on his own, and then the yamen assessed and then collected it. However, in this way, there was a situation where Shang Jia Haoqiang deliberately concealed his property and underreported or even did not report it.

It has to be said that if this decree is effectively implemented, it will indeed be able to alleviate the deficit of the central government in a short period of time. However, big businessmen have always been inextricably linked with powerful and powerful. The Chang'an County Ya can not take care of these matters of public security, but the matter of liquidating the money of Chang'an businessmen and Jia is not allowed to be done by the Chang'an County Ya.

Even after learning that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had appointed him as the commander of Chang'an, Huo Guang doubted whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the intention of using the strength of himself and Wei Huo's relatives to implement this financial measure. And if this is the case, then in the end, all the things that offended Shang Jia Haoqiang and even the powerful will be borne by Huo Guang.

"I don't know about the liquidation of the money, what is our county doing?" Huo Guang knew that Du Yannian hadn't reacted yet, so he stopped selling Guan Zi and directly named the key points.

Du Yan looked indifferent at first, but when he heard the words of liquidating the money, his expression obviously changed slightly. He is the son of Du Zhou, and it is impossible not to know about the Qian Ling, and he must have heard of many deep things.

"Uh...... I'm afraid we can only turn a blind eye to this matter, and there may not be any progress in this matter across the country, and Chang'an County is really the most difficult to do! Du Yannian naturally knew about it, but he never took it to heart, because there were too many interests involved, and so far most people thought that this decree was just talking.

"I'm afraid it's not okay to turn a blind eye, do you think about what your majesty did you give up halfway? Now that the finances of the imperial court are tight, His Majesty is in a hurry to ask for money. I don't think this matter can be settled like this, I'm afraid we have to think about it in the long run! Huo Guang sighed and said, others don't know, but he knows in his heart that the money order is just the beginning, and there will be many laws and regulations on the economy that will be issued one after another, and the next few years will be a cold winter for the entire Han business community, and a nightmare for many upper-class businessmen.

"Since it is a decree issued by His Majesty, let's go directly to those merchants' mansions to settle the score, where is the trouble?" Zhen Youcai still has little knowledge in the end, he just thinks that it is a simple liquidation.

"This is not simple, for example, the richest Sang family in Chang'an, their family has hundreds of slaves, no less than 100 good horses, and their industries are all over all walks of life. But the Sang family has a close relationship with the prime minister, and the son of the Sang family, Sang Hongyang, is now also appreciated by His Majesty, and there are even rumors that His Majesty wants to appoint him as a big farmer. If the county government goes to liquidate the property of the Sang family, it is estimated that they will not even be able to enter the gate! "Although Du Yannian is not very old, he sees the problem very accurately, in fact, it is difficult to implement the money order.

"Your Majesty wants to appoint Sang Hongyang as a big farmer?" Huo Guang was particularly interested when he heard Sang Hongyang's name, and then thought of Sang Hongyang being recruited to Ganquan Palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty half a month ago, and it is estimated that this matter is not far away.

"Well, I heard my father unintentionally mention it, and he should have learned about it from the Imperial Doctor." Du Yannian explained that his source seemed to be from Zhang Tang, so Huo Guang was sure that Sang Hongyang was indeed going to be a big farmer.

If Sang Hongyang becomes a big farmer, then his status will be on par with Huo Guang, because the big farmer is also an official position of Bi Qianshi. Moreover, this is also a big agricultural order to assist one of the nine kings, the real power position in charge of the country's economy, money and grain, and the status is equivalent to that of the household servant of the later dynasties.

"Doctor Goshi...... By the way, it seems that His Majesty is implementing this money order, and the Imperial Doctor is also strongly in favor of it, right? Huo Guang thought of Zhang Tang again in a blink of an eye, it seemed that this money order was also promoted by Zhang Tang, as soon as he thought of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but have a vague plan in his mind.

Zhang Tang is now ranked as the third duke, and he is a real incorruptible official. Zhang Tang strongly agreed with the imposition of heavy taxes on merchants, so that regardless of whether Huo Guang was in favor of the money order, but at least Huo Guang's purpose to implement this decree was the same as Zhang Tang's, Huo Guang suddenly felt that perhaps Zhang Tang's power could be used in this thorny issue.

"My lord, Taizhong Doctor Dongfang Shuo asks to see you!" Just when Huo Guang was thinking about how to use the power of Zhang Tang to implement the money order in Chang'an, the officials outside the door came to spread the word, and it turned out to be Dongfang Shuo.

"Come in, please. Odd? Why did Dongfang Shuo come on my first day in office? It was impossible for Huo Guang not to see Dongfang Shuo, but he also muttered quietly, Dongfang Shuo's arrival was indeed very unexpected.

"My lord, then we will retire first, and we will also familiarize ourselves with the situation of the Xia County Ya!" Du Yannian took the initiative to retreat very interestingly, and at the same time glanced at Zhen Youcai, Zhen Youcai also understood, and withdrew with Du Yannian.

At this moment, Huo Guang also stood up, Dongfang Shuo's official position is Taizhong Doctor, and his level is the same as Huo Guang, and Dongfang Shuo is a person next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he has to stand up to greet him without looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.

"On my first day in office, why did Mr. Dongfang have time to come to the county office? At this moment, if the gentleman does not serve His Majesty, how can he still have leisure to wander around? Huo Guang greeted Dongfang Shuo at the door, and the two were familiar with each other, so Huo Guang said half-jokingly.

"There's nothing going on today, so I'll come to you to take a look, and by the way, I'll fight the autumn breeze!" Dongfang Shuo naturally would not say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent him, and such a reason is also in line with Dongfang Shuo's personality.

"Sir, you're too ruthless, aren't you? On the first day I took office, you came to kill me before I even got my money? Huo Guang pretended to be aggrieved and said, of course, the two were just joking.

"Who doesn't know that your Second Master Huo has countless big backers, don't cry poor!" Dongfang Shuo smiled disappreliantly, it is true that money and other things are not a problem for Huo Guang at all.

"My county government is simple, but let's talk inside! Sir please! Huo Guang pointed to the house and said, it is definitely impossible for Dongfang Shuolai County to leave after saying a few words, Huo Guang naturally wants to invite Dongfang Shuo to sit.

Dongfang Shuo was not polite, so he and Huo Guang came to the house and sat down, and then a county servant served tea to the two of them.

"Sir wouldn't really come to me for a small talk, would he?" Huo Guang sat down with Dongfang Shuo, he, the master, naturally wanted to find something to say, but Huo Guang didn't believe that Dongfang Shuo was simply here to fight the autumn wind.

"Hehe, it's not like nothing. I'm here to ask something! Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

"Oh? What's up? Please speak, sir. Huo Guang replied.

"Presumably Huo Xianling also saw the fire floating in the sky over Chang'an last night, right? The firelight is just above the first place, and it seems to be on the Champion Hou's Mansion, I wonder if Huo Xianling has seen it? Dongfang Shuo also got straight to the point, and directly asked his true purpose, of course, he wouldn't let Huo Guang know that this was what Emperor Wu of Han meant.

"Firelight ......" As soon as Huo Guang heard the floating firelight, he immediately thought of the Kong Ming lantern that he and Li Yan put last night. Huo Guang also thought that Kong Ming's lantern appeared in the night sky, and many people would definitely see it, but he didn't take this matter to heart, and he didn't realize how amazing the thoughts of people in this era would be at night fire.

Huo Guang didn't immediately tell Dongfang Shuo the truth, he was still thinking about whether Dongfang Shuo was just curious or there were other reasons for asking about this, but Huo Guang couldn't let Dongfang Shuo wait, so he asked, "How did Mr. know?" Did you see that too? ”

"What's the point of seeing? Early this morning, Chang'an City was in a uproar, it seems that Huo Xianling is really busy, and he doesn't even know such a big thing! Dongfang Shuo said with some exaggeration, he was already a little funny, and with this exaggerated expression at this moment, it made people laugh.

"Hehe, I was busy with my appointment early this morning, and I really don't know about these rumors...... Huo Guang said with a smile, he was about to say that he didn't know, but before Huo Guang could say the second half of his sentence, Li Yan's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Ah Guang...... Ah Guang ...... Look what I've brought you! Li Yan suddenly appeared and interrupted Huo Guang's words. When Li Yan stepped into the room, Huo Guang found that she was carrying a somewhat deformed Kong Ming lantern in her hand, which was the one they released last night.

"Ah Guang, you see that I really found a flying lantern outside the city after looking for it all morning, so can I let it fly again?" Li Yan asked with a bright face while carrying the Kong Ming lantern.

"Flying lights? Could it be that the firelight over Chang'an last night is this? Dongfang Shuo was so smart that he guessed that the firelight in Chang'an last night was made by Huo Guang based on a few words from Li Yan.

"Hee-hee, Mr. Dongfang, it turns out that you are here too! Yan'er is polite! Li Yan was so happy that she didn't notice Dongfang Shuo at first.

Huo Guang knew that he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, so he could only speak: "This thing is called a flying lamp, and it can fly in the air temporarily." After it was extinguished, it should have been blown out of Chang'an City, and I didn't expect to be found back by Yan'er. It made Mr. Dongfang laugh! ”

"I didn't expect there to be such a magical thing in the world, could it be that this is made by the Mo family?" Dongfang Shuo was amazed by Kong Ming's lantern, and hurriedly got up and walked to Li Yan's side, taking a closer look.

"This thing is very simple to make, as for who invented it I don't know, originally when I was in Pingyang County, an old man taught me, and the stirrup was also taught by this person." Huo Guang was afraid that Dongfang Shuo would tell Emperor Wu of Han about this, so he first explained the origin of Kong Ming's lantern, of course, Huo Guang was still very shameless to blame all this on the mysterious old man.

"This old man is not simple! Everything made is miraculous and abnormal, but in fact it is extremely simple, and it is really a god! Dongfang Shuo also saw that the production of this flying lantern was indeed simple, and when he thought of stirrups, he also admired the mysterious old man made up by Huo Guang.

"Can Huo Xianling give me this thing, I want to take it back and study it." Dongfang Shuo turned to look at Huo Guang, he didn't really want to study Kong Ming's lantern, but mainly wanted to take it back to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
