Chapter 054: Hidden Population
When Gongsun Chan heard that Liu An was visiting, he warmly entertained Liu An.
Liu An took the things he brought to Gongsun Zhan and said, "My brother recently got some treasures from a foreign country, and I brought them to share with my brother." ”
"What are these?" Gongsun said in surprise, but his eyes glanced at the treasure knife placed aside from time to time.
"This is milk tea, the hot water is full of fragrance and excellent taste. This is instant noodles, and it is also washed with hot water...... "Liu An introduced milk tea instant noodles and pumping paper to Gongsun Chan one by one.
Gongsun Chan was very curious when he heard it, and after listening to it, he opened a cup of milk tea on the spot and brewed a cup under the guidance of Liu An.
After tasting the first sip of milk tea, although Gongsun Zhan's tongue was a little painful, he was still amazed.
"The taste is truly excellent!"
Liu An pointed to the treasure knife he brought again, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "This knife is also a foreign product, and it is much sharper than the weapon cast by my Han, brother see if you like it?" ”
Gongsun Zhan picked up the treasure knife and observed it for a while, and the look of surprise in his eyes continued.
"This superb treasure knife also!"
"My brother wants to give this knife to my brother, and I ask my brother to accept it with a smile."
"How does this work? This knife is precious, not under the sword of the virtuous brother, how can the brother receive the gift of the virtuous brother again? Gongsun Chan hurriedly excused himself.
"The sword is matched with the hero, how can it not be made? It's just ......" Liu An said this, sighed, and said with a sad face: "No matter how good this knife is, in my heart, it is still not as good as my family heirloom sword......"
Gongsun Chan understood when he heard this.
Liu An's dealings with foreign countries are now gradually improving, and he is ready to exchange for the family heirloom sword that he sold when he was poor.
Gongsun Chan can also understand Liu An's thoughts.
It's not just about understanding, it's even about taking it for granted.
Han ruled the world with filial piety, when Liu An sold the sword, he did not name the family heirloom sword, considering that his family background was really difficult, others could still turn a blind eye and treat it as invisible.
But if you are developed and do not think about redeeming the ancestral things, then you are unfilial.
It was precisely knowing this truth that Liu An wanted to get back the novice saber that might have been regarded as his family heirloom by Gongsun Chan as soon as Liu Ming came back.
It's just something that was given to someone else, and it doesn't make sense to say anything about it when it comes back, so I took a treasure knife and returned it.
In this way, you can also make friends with a wave of Gongsun Chan by the way.
Liu An is now just a commoner, although he is a member of the imperial family, he has no power or power, and he still has to find a big tree to shelter from the wind and rain.
Gongsun Chan is not a big tree, but at least for now, Zhuoxian has the final say.
"Brother Xian's words are reasonable, at the beginning, my brother was afraid that you would not accept your brother's gift for no reason, so I pretended to accept this sword, but in fact, it was for the temporary custody of Brother Xian. Now that the virtuous brother has grown his wings, it is time for him to return the sword to its owner. ”
Gongsun Chan untied the sword at his waist and handed it to Liu An.
"This ......" Liu An was greatly moved, leaned over and took the sword gratefully with both hands, and said: "Brother is gracious, the virtuous brother has nothing to repay, this treasure knife brother must not shirk again!" ”
"So ......" Gongsun Zhan hesitated slightly, and then laughed and said: "It's disrespectful to be a brother like this, haha!" ”
Gongsun Zhan knew that this sword was much more precious than the sword, and if he accepted such a great gift, if he did not return the gift, it would be in vain to be a righteous person, so he said:
"I heard that Brother Xian has recently collected some disaster victims, but is there such a thing?"
"It is true." Liu An said truthfully.
"Virtuous brother, what is the crime of hiding the population?" Gongsun Chan suddenly asked Liu An with a straight face.
"This ...... Is it considered a hidden population to collect the disaster victims? "Liu An didn't know much about the ancient laws, there was no relevant content in the Three Kingdoms game in his previous life, and the novels he read didn't mention the overly detailed content about the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he really did not know that he had sinned.
"Adults have endowments, children have oral endowments, everyone has to pay endowments, and the virtuous brother collects those disaster victims, but does not report to the court, so how to collect the endowment?"
"This ...... This matter is a foolish brother who owes it to consideration, and I ask my brother to teach me. ”
Liu An came to see Gongsun Chan this time, originally just seeking asylum, but he didn't expect to be pointed out by Gongsun Chan for his mistake.
Since Gongsun Chan pointed it out on such a private occasion, he was not prepared to ask for the guilt, Liu An did not panic, and it would be good to see what Gongsun Chan was going to do.
"Brother Xian doesn't have to worry. Brother Jin is for this Zhuo County Order, if he can't even settle this little thing for the virtuous brother, wouldn't it be in vain for this Zhuo County Order? ”
Gongsun Chan smiled lightly, and then cautiously told Liu An: "It's just ...... I can rest easy for the virtuous brother of Zhuoxian County, but if I change to someone else, the virtuous brother can no longer be like this, and at that time, I will either do a good job up and down, or report the population truthfully, and I will always do the same. ”
"Brother, thank you brother for your guidance!" Liu An got up and saluted Gongsun Zhan.
At noon, Gongsun Zhan prepared wine and food, drank and ate with Liu An, and the two talked happily.
During this period, Liu An casually mentioned that the cattle he bought from foreign countries in the village had not yet been registered, so Gongsun Zhan promised to waive Liu An's registration fee and found a small official to let him go to Liu Anzhuang to check the number of cattle and register them.
The problem of cattle will be solved sooner or later, although as long as Liu An does not sell cattle and beef, no one will check him for the time being.
But every year, the imperial court would send people to count the number of cattle from house to house, and Liu Anruo would get into trouble before he could register his own cattle.
Liu An's trip not only changed back the saber and solved the problem of cattle, but also got the promise of Gongsun Zhan, who no longer had to worry about being held accountable for collecting the victims during his tenure.
The 800 victims of the disaster do not know how much they need for a year's oral endowment, and among them, the young and strong people also have to serve in conscription, and if they do not serve, the money for the substitute service is 2,000 yuan a year per person.
Everyone calculates how much it costs in a year.
Liu An used a treasure knife, two packs of pumping paper, two cups of milk tea and two buckets of instant noodles in exchange for this result, and he was quite satisfied.
Back at the manor in the afternoon, Liu An called all the backbones and asked them to arrange the things at hand, and then went to his residence.
In addition to the backbone, Liu An also called all the people who had used the Death Card, a total of fifteen people.
Half an hour later, everyone came to Liu An's house.
It was not yet dusk, but Liu An was worried that his men had night blindness, and it was too late for them to be unable to control the carriage, so he rewarded them some time in advance.
Liu Bei had already bought wine and meat, tableware, wine utensils, as well as two large low tables and a dozen Maza.
At the same time, Liu Bei also took it upon himself to add some drinking utensils and some tea to Liu An's house, when he recruited the victims for the first time, Liu An's family did not even have a drinking utensils, so he could only take a bowl, and Liu Bei still remembers it vividly.
Thirteen people, namely Liu Bei, Liu Ming, Feng Yan, Wang Zhi, Chen Zhao, Qu Ze, Zuo Wei, Wei Chuan, Guo Hai and several others who went north with Liu Ming.
He Guan was arranged by Liu An to escort Xu Rong's wife, but now he is not there.
Liu An saw that Liu Bei was so careful and arranged things properly, and secretly praised it in his heart.
He wanted to pour a cup of tea for everyone, but was stopped by Liu Ming, "How can you bother your uncle and father to pour water for me?" ”
Then Liu Ming took over the matter and was responsible for pouring tea and water for everyone.
