"What does the princess mean by that?"

Walking out of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in a little embarrassment, Lu Tai could no longer suppress the confusion in his chest, and looked at his younger brother Lu Chan with shame and anger.

"Five hundred gold, thank you for the grace of your father?"

"The princess wants to break off the friendship with the Wulu clan?"

Complaining indignantly, Lu Tai couldn't help but become even more annoyed when he saw the box of gold cakes that had been moved out by the slave out of the corner of his eye.

Lu Tai Tang Zhou Lu Ling Wu Hou Yan's eldest son, lack of these five hundred gold?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is a real shortage of these 500 gold, it is impossible for Lu Tai to leave his face and go to the door to ask for it from Liu Le, who is his generation and has already married a wife!

Obviously, Lu Chan also knows what his brother thinks.

With only a wry smile, Lu Chan waved his hand, motioned for the slave to carry the box of gold cakes into the carriage and go home by himself, and then made a 'please' gesture towards his own mansion not far away.

Seeing this, Lu Tai was angry in his heart, and he didn't want to attack again, so he only turned his head slightly, glared at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion behind him from the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, and left with his sleeves.

Seeing this, it was not good to stay any longer, so he only turned around, and in the apologetic court, Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, who was full of doubts, shook his hand and left.

·

Inviting Lu Tai to his own guest hall to kneel and sit down, Lu Chan said a little, and then opened his mouth in a flat tone to persuade him.

"Brother, don't be angry."

"The eldest princess is married to a wife today, which is not the same as in the past; All the princesses do it, or outsiders do it to Xuanping Hou. ”

"The princess's refusal to allow her brother to conspire with food and profit should be because of Xuanpinghou's concern......"

With just one word, most of the gloom on Lu Tai's face dissipated, and he fell into deep thought.

At the beginning of this year, the surviving Emperor Liu Bang swore an alliance with a white horse and made a decision that 'unless you have merit, you must not be a marquis; If it is not the Liu family, it is not the king's ancestral training of the Han family.

In addition, there is another thing that is sung by the people of the world, which happened in the process of the 'White Horse Oath'.

——Emperor Gao discharged the eighteen meritorious marquis of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and made a clear promise: These eighteen meritorious marquis will be replaced from generation to generation, and they will rest with the country!

In the list of the eighteen meritorious marquis of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are well-known Hou Xiao He, Pingyang Hou Cao Shen, Wuyang Hou Fan Xu, Ruyin Hou Xiahou Ying, and even Jiang Hou Zhou Bo, Yingyin Hou Guan Ying and other celebrities.

And Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, ranked third in the list of meritorious marquis who 'rested with the country'!

The first-ranked Marquis Xiao He, the second-ranked Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen, the Xianyun Yehe, the Liuhou Zhang Liang who is far away from the court, and the third-ranked Xuanping Marquis Zhang Ao, are the only four Wanhu Marquis in the Han family so far!

Compared with Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhang Liang, the 'Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty', Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, had to seal ten thousand households, which looked somewhat strange.

——What credit did Zhang Ao make to make it comparable to the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty?

The answer is: Whether it was during the period of the Chu and Han dynasties, or in the process of quelling the rebellion of the princes with different surnames, Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, had almost no martial arts!

Because Zhang Ao's father is one of the princes with different surnames in the early Han Dynasty: Zhang Er, the king of Zhao!

Regarding Zhang Ao's acceptance of the Marquis of Xuanping, and the outside world only regarded Zhang Ao as having angered Emperor Liu Bang, and was demoted from King Zhao to Marquis of Xuanping.

However, as the children of the Lu family, especially the two sons of Lu Ze, the Marquis of the late Zhou Lu Lingwu, Lu Tai and Lu Chan undoubtedly know the internal reasons for this matter very well.

——Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping, which was discussed with Emperor Gao as early as the reign of Zhang Er, the king of Zhao!

In order not to follow in the footsteps of princes with different surnames such as Zang Di and Han Xin, Zhang Er has already arranged his own future: bow down and be a minister, and abolish the king as a marquis!

Zhang Er is so knowledgeable, and less than a year after Zhang Er's death, his son Zhang Ao was made the Marquis of Xuanping, and married Liu Bang's eldest daughter: Liu Le, the lord of Lu Yuan.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Le's rejection of the sale of grain, Lu Tai can also see it.

"I see......"

"It has been a few years since the Marquis of Xuanping abolished the king, and the princess is still cautious?"

Hearing Lu Tai ask a question like a mutter, Lu Chan couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and said meaningfully: "The matter of the abolition of the prince by the Marquis of Xuanping involves the princes with different surnames in the eastern part of the country......

"Even if Emperor Gao dies today, the Marquis of Xuanping will probably be dormant for three generations, so as to show that he has no two hearts......"

Hearing this, Lu Tai finally let go of the connection in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

"In this way, there is no way to rely on Xuanping Hou ...... for the matter of goods and grain."

"Hi ......"

As soon as he thought that he put aside his old face and came to the door with the kindness of 'getting rich together', but was sent by Liu Le to throw five hundred gold cakes like a flower, Lu Tai felt a little angry.

Five hundred gold, what is enough?

If it's a waste of wine, five hundred gold is indeed enough to squander it for a while.

But what Lu Tai and Lu Chan want to do is to settle the grain!

The entire Guanzhong range involves the hoarding of food at the level of millions of people!

If we want to form a monopoly on the grain market in Guanzhong, we must at least control more than half of the grain storage, not to mention more!

Even if it is just to affect the rise and fall of grain prices, it is at least necessary to master the million-stone level of grain, so that there is the slightest possibility.

But now, Lu Tai and Lu Chan smashed the pot and sold iron, and took out all their savings, plus the grain stored in the previous years of their respective feudal countries and the new grain produced this year, and they only made up less than 100,000 stones.

Even if you add all the storage of the Changling Tian clan, it will definitely not exceed 500,000 stones!

It is enough for this grain to be sprinkled into the market and stabilize the price of grain for a month, but if you want to use this point to store and control the market price, it is nonsense at all!

As for Fang Cai, the two brothers hated the five hundred gold cakes they brought back from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, not to mention.

——Now the price of grain in Chang'an has broken thousands of dollars per stone!

500 gold cakes, at most 10 million dollars; According to the unit price of 1,000 yuan per stone, it would be good to be able to buy back 10,000 stone of grain!

"Why don't you 'borrow' money from Shaofu?"

As soon as he heard Lu Tai's proposal, Lu Zhan couldn't help but look pale, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother, don't you know, Shaofu is responsible for the construction of Chang'an, and it has not been completed for seven years?"

"I'm afraid that there will be a small house, and I will suffer from the short-term ...... money."

Saying that, Lu Chan did not forget to remind the eldest brother vaguely: "As for the treasury, it is in the hands of Xiao Xiangguo, even if the Queen Mother personally orders, it may be difficult to use the money and grain of the treasury......"

Hearing Lu Chan's words, Lu Tai couldn't help but sigh as if he was mourning, and lay down on his side with a sad face.

Just as Lu Tai was thinking about where else to find the 'start-up capital' to make his fortune, a young man with a pale face, shabby clothes, and faint blood stains on his shoes and feet almost jumped into the guest hall.

"The Prince!!

Before Lu Chan could get angry, the young man fell to the ground with tears in his eyes, and banged his head on the ground.

"Junhou save the Wutian clan!"

"If the prince doesn't save him, I'm afraid that the Wutian clan will be !!!!! today."
