Chapter 337: The Emperor of Merchants

Knowing the face but not the heart is a common phenomenon in the late Han Dynasty, when the heroes were competing for deer.

Once upon a time, Liu Wei also thought that there should be a few good people among these feudal officials of the Han Dynasty.

For example, Kong Rong, the Beihai Xiang, who appeared a lot in the romance, surrendered the school captain Gongsun Zhan, and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian.

But in fact, Kong Rong's literature and education are beautiful and unreasonable, and his literature is vulgar, but he does not meet the level of governance.

He was fit to study in Taixue, not to be a magistrate.

Gongsun Zhan himself even dared to appoint a state minister, how could he still look like a court official?

And the fundamental reason why he and Liu Yu turned against each other was that Gongsun Zhan liked to set up arson and rob the people.

As for Tao Qian, Liu Wei can see it clearly enough now.

An old silver coin so insidious that you could write a book!

The turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty was caused by the people who couldn't live their lives, but all the people who really sang on stage were careerists.

It was only in the past two years that Liu Wei finally saw this fact clearly.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was an uprising of the people.

But after that, it also became a power field for careerists to compete.

Shouting that the sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, and the age is in Jiazi, the Qu Shuai, who are auspicious in the world, often serve in the collusion above, and unite with local officials below, loot property, and compete for territory, which is extremely enthusiastic.

Maybe their original intentions were good, but in the later period, almost all of them took the people as the reason, and power was king.

At this point, Liu Wei no longer had the luxury of letting these princes serve the imperial court.

The unification of the world still requires strong force in the end.

All the wavering thoughts stem from the lack of firepower!

……

Liu Wei changed into a smart regular clothes and went out with a breath of fresh air with a slight chill.

Let a field soldier either sit on a dragon chair all day long, or look through the literature and table in the carriage.

Although the situation forced him, Liu Wei must be diligent and do some homework seriously.

But such days only existed when he used to go to school.

Although he has become accustomed to it, it is still a kind of torture for Liu Wei.

Everything that should be dealt with is done, and it is advisable to go out and have fun at this time.

Xun You had just settled down the matter that Liu Wei had explained, and as soon as he went out, he saw Liu Wei directing the criminal guards to prepare the vehicle.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Xun Yu hurriedly asked.

Liu Wei tightened his sleeves and said, "I'm bored, I'm going hunting." ”

"Don't worry about my safety, the prisoner army will follow closely behind me, and no one will dare to pluck my tiger hair."

Xun You was speechless for a moment, "Then why did Your Majesty change into regular clothes?" ”

"Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, I heard that Cao Mengde has already eliminated the bandits in the four counties of Kaiyang, I will go and see it myself." Liu Wei said with a light smile, "Whether you want to understand a person or a place, you must go to the deepest part of him to see!" ”

Xun Yu frowned, slightly puzzled.

The deepest part of a place, he understood.

But how to go to the deepest part of a person?

However, he didn't bother too much about this matter.

just said helplessly: "The minister thought that His Majesty was going to hunt again!" ”

"I'm just going to hunt, so I'm going to take a look." Liu Wei said.

Today, he's just too lazy to find a reason.

Every time they use the excuse of hunting, these people don't believe it anymore.

"How many people are Your Majesty going to bring?" Xun You asked.

"The old rules, Yinglin and Zhang Liao can go with them." Liu Wei also said helplessly.

In fact, he is really sure that he can get out smoothly in the event of war, and there is generally no problem in escaping.

But these people just don't believe in life or death, what can he do?

They didn't seem to realize that the Xiyuan Army, which was now killing all sides, was all trained by him.

Liu Wei felt that his self-confidence seemed to be arrogant in the eyes of Xun You and others.

"Your Majesty, is this planning to disguise itself as a caravan again?" Xun You glanced at the ordinary carriages and asked.

Liu Wei: ......

Little rabbit, who are you here and yin and yang?

"If there's a fart, let it go." Liu Wei scolded.

was so interested, and was completely disturbed by Xun You's strange words.

Xun You turned around and bent down and saluted, "Please allow Your Majesty to accompany Rong Chen!" ”

"Accurate!" Liu Wei waved his hand a little depressedly and said.

To be an emperor, wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, beauty is quite beautiful.

But it's too fucking difficult to get out, it's like Tang Seng learning scriptures from the West.

"Then go and change into regular clothes." Xun You said.

When he came back again, he was followed by Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Huangfu Song, and Wang Yun's restless.

The entire East Patrol team is fully assembled.

Liu Wei: ......

At this moment, he really wanted to ram Xun You into the wall with one punch, and he couldn't pick it off.

What's even more outrageous is that Huangfu Song is dressed like a steward, and Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Wang Yun and others are more thorough, wearing short brown cotton jackets, as if they are doing coolies.

"Your Majesty is out on patrol, and there is no reason for the ministers not to follow." Huangfu Song stepped forward and said, "Even if something happens, the ministers should die in front of Your Majesty to fight for Your Majesty's opportunity to get out of trouble." ”

Liu Wei smiled lightly and swept over his ministers one by one.

Okay, it's good, I want to stop him in this way and don't let him go out.

How could that be!

"Let's go!" Liu Wei shouted, turned over and went straight to the war horse.

Zhao Ye wanted to reach out and help, but he didn't have time.

Huangfu Song and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

"It's rare that Your Majesty has a Yaxing to play, so we should accompany you." Xun Yu was indifferent, and asked everyone with a smile, "Are you riding a car or a horse?" ”

"Who said that Wenchen wouldn't ride and chop right away? I have a good horse! Jia Xu laughed loudly.

"The old man is a military general!" The emperor flicked his beard and ordered his mount to be brought in.

In the end, only Hu Muban, Han Rong, and Zhao Qian were left in the car.

Even Wang Yun chose to ride a horse.

Liu Wei looked at the team that suddenly became huge, and sighed to Zhang Liao: "If it wasn't for the gold pulled on the carriage, I'm sorry for this team." ”

"The princes are also loyal, and I ask Your Majesty to understand." Zhang Liao arched his hand and persuaded.

Liu Wei is just talking.

But this team is indeed a bit large now.

plus twenty criminal guards guarding the Ming place, nearly forty horsemen.

Although the caravan with forty cavalry guards could only be regarded as middle and low-class, it did not meet Liu Bian's purpose of keeping a low profile.

……

Kaiyang is located at the confluence of two rivers and has beautiful scenery.

Even though it's winter, there are plenty of great places to visit.

But Liu Wei didn't plan to go anywhere, and after leaving the city, he walked aimlessly to the north, and he would enter every village.

Huangfu Song and the others thought that Liu Wei was just pretending to be a caravan, but they didn't expect Liu Wei to really start a caravan.

He went almost door-to-door in the village, buying mountain goods, furs, cloth, etc. from the local people.

As long as there is something valuable, it can be exchanged for what they need.

And Liu Wei is like a real merchant.

At first, everyone thought that the carriages were empty, but when they entered the village, they found that they had everything on them.

There was a lot of food, cloth, money, and medicinal herbs.

Huangfu Song found Xun Yu in private and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty shouldn't have any deep meaning in doing this, right?" ”

"The Captain doesn't know, in His Majesty's words, this is a sample survey." Xun Yu, who was dressed as a coolie, was cleaning up the debris in the walnuts, and a Diao Min used walnuts to exchange for coarse cloth, and the two sacks of walnuts were mixed with a large amount of clods.

Xun Yu was calculating the princes of the world, but he was unexpectedly calculated by an ordinary Qiantou.

"Sample survey?" Huangfu Song was a little confused, what kind of strange thing is this.

Xun Yu carefully picked out all the finely chopped walnut skins mixed in it, and explained to Huangfu Song, "The so-called sampling survey is to select a group of people in one place to verify. For example, in the village in front of us, when we see the lives of the people here, we basically see the living conditions of the people in Kaiyang. ”

"How much rice is in their rice jars on average, how much food is hidden in the cellar, understand the people in this place, and what kind of life the people of Kaiyang live in, and it is basically clear."

Huangfu Song suddenly realized, "I see, the old man really thought that His Majesty was playful for a while, and he really wanted to be a businessman." ”

The emperor's previous preferential treatment and support for Shang made Huangfu Song not suspect that the emperor might really have this idea.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty has everything in his heart." Xun Yu said, "Traveling from south to north is undoubtedly a good way to hide your identity, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion." ”

After tying up the sack that he had picked clean, he said to Huangfu Song, "I'm tired of the captain taking a hand!" ”

"Oh, okay."

Huangfu Song answered, and the two of them worked together to stack the walnuts on the carriage and tie them up carefully.

This kind of thing, Liu Wei seems to be handy.

But for Huangfu Song and others, it is a new experience.

Most well-off scholars may have never been exposed to this kind of thing in their lives.

In one day, Liu Wei took his ministers to seven or eight villages.

It wasn't until all the things I brought were changed that I went home and went back to Kaiyang.

Following.

As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Wei packed up his clothes again and prepared to go out.

This time he ordered people to prepare more goods and wagons, and planned to go farther, and not turn back to Kaiyang City that day.

Xun You got up early to listen to the emperor's side, and saw the caravan that had been packed.

He hurriedly sent someone to inform Huangfu Song and others.

The generals were fine, but Hu Muban and several other ministers heard that the emperor was going to continue, and their whole scalps were numb.

They all sighed, and their bowels were blue.

After a day's hard work yesterday, their hands are no longer what they look like.

"I should advise Your Majesty!" Zhao Qian held up his boots with two big holes and said to everyone.

"Zhao Gong, this is already afraid of hardship?" Wang Yun, who had already changed his clothes, said very directly when he saw this, "Your Majesty took me to wait for the Eastern Tour to deliberately find a problem and remove us from the court, and Duke Zhao doesn't want to burden us and others." ”

"Zishi's words are too unreasonable, Your Majesty is messing around, should I also mess around with him? Ding Gong died, Chen Gongnan went to Qu County, and then he lost the backbone to speak out? Zhao Qian shouted angrily.

Wang Yun drooped his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Qian, "If you are afraid of hardship, you are afraid of hardship, where is there so much crooked reasoning?" Your Majesty is aware of the people's feelings, why do you talk nonsense? I think you're trying to mess around! ”

"At a young age, he doesn't have the courage of a young man like Your Majesty, does Duke Zhao feel that he is more noble than His Majesty?"

Zhao Qian's face instantly turned purple with anger, "Nonsense, when did the old man be afraid of hardship?" ”

"Since you're not afraid, then don't be verbose!" Wang Yun snorted lightly.
