Chapter 022: I hate to see Dong Lao late

Pu Tianyan glanced at Huo Guang, and became a little angry at his questioning.

I saw him say majestically: "Nonsense, I have always made a promise, do you think I look like a person who can tell lies?" ”

Huo Guang touched his chin and said slowly, "It's hard to say..."

"You guy!" Pu Tian was suddenly furious and glared at Huo Guang.

Because in other people's territory, Huo Guang is not too presumptuous. In addition, he invested money to come in for what he said, so he had to laugh and say: "Haha, uncle, don't be angry, then I'll analyze and analyze." ”

No way.

Huo Guang is indeed short of money now!

The "industrial park" on the eastern side of the city is still just a prototype.

Even the enclosed land was only on credit, and there was no balance with the officials who bought and sold the land.

But there's no hurry!

With Wei Yan's identity as Yichunhou, presumably the other party did not dare to ask for money directly.

So, here's the problem.

Where did all his money go? To put it bluntly, he took it to pay for his work.

In order to quickly recruit workers to work, he offered a high salary of 100 yuan per person a day, and promised to pay it on a daily basis. This wage is neither high nor low.

But there are more workers recruited!

That's a lot of money.

Ten people are 1,000 a day, and 30,000 a month. Huo Guang has already recruited more than 20 farmers to come over to help, and the little rent and tax collected by Wei and his wife are afraid that it will not last for half a month.

"Think about it, the salt and iron official camp..."Huo Guang rubbed his brows and said: "This thing is beneficial to the country's finances, and the interests do not involve the toiling people. At most, it deprives you of the interests of the big families. ”

After speaking.

Huo Guang also glanced up at Pu Tian.

Seeing that he was sitting on the top and did not speak, Huo Guang continued: "Uncle, you'd better not confront the imperial court, there is no good end to confronting the imperial court." Now that the reform of the salt and iron government camp has come down, then give up this financial route. ”

"Take advantage of this time to find another way to make money!"

"For example, make some war money, I estimate that our Han Dynasty should be going to fight the Huns again in the next two years, you can hoard more things related to this."

Within two years, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu will fight again?

As soon as I heard this.

Pu Tian's eyes suddenly became fierce, looked at Huo Guang, and asked, "How do you know that my dynasty is going to war with the Huns?" Did Wei Qing, or Huo Huqi tell you? ”

"Do you want them to tell that? You can guess it! Huo Guang couldn't help but pout.

National events.

Even Wei Qing or Brother Champion didn't dare to tell Huo Guang in private.

But Pu Tian was a little unconvinced, frowned and asked, "How can you guess this?" ”

Huo Guang spread his hand and said: "Look at the newly built horse farm in the east of the city, even Chang'an has begun to build a horse farm." It wasn't for the sake of a cavalry battle with the Huns, and why! ”

"That's all?" Pu Tian was a little unconvinced.

"Of course it's not all!" Huo Guangtou raised his head and said, "You think, the national salt and iron official camp is for finance, right?" So what is the purpose of innovating agricultural tools, isn't it just for food? ”

"The three of them are being launched at the same time, and if it is not for the war, then I really can't think of what it can be for!"

Huo Guang's set of statements is fluent, which makes Pu Tian believe it a little.

Nodding.

But then there was silence again, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Pu Tian looked up at Huo Guang and asked, "Then what do you think of the imperial court's salt and iron official camp policy, I heard that there are many ministers who oppose this reform!" ”

Opposition to this reform?

Very normal!

But whenever there is reform, there will be opponents.

But the question is, how did he know about the things in the court? Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but glance at Pu Tian deeply.

This uncle can't be a big official in the court himself, right?

Well!

Quite possibly.

After all, he said that General Wei and Huo Qubing were his friends, except for those who were officials in the same dynasty, who else could have this qualification?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang's answer also became cautious, and said: "That must be good, the salt and iron official camp can not only increase the country's financial revenue, curb the power of merchants, but also improve and promote advanced technology." ”

"As long as it's not more than twenty years!"

"Can't be more than twenty years?" Pu Tian frowned and asked, "Why can't you?" ”

Huo Guang said lightly: "Because it will breed moths!" ”

"It's a corrupt official!"

"Everyone knows that there is a lot of oil and water here, and everyone wants to come in and make money, and over time, the quality of the iron produced will be inferior, not up to the specifications, and even the price will be inflated!"

Pu Tian's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "This... I really didn't expect that. Well, back to the previous one, what do you mean by making war money? ”

"I don't know it's so simple?" Huo Guang grinned, couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I really don't know how you are the head of the family." ”

The voice did not fall.

The guard standing on the side, that is, the man who brought Huo Guang before, suddenly scolded him: "Shut up, this naughty young man, you dare to be disrespectful to my family master!" ”

Ha?

Disrespect... Didn't your master tell me to tell me?

Huo Guang looked helpless.

But Pu Tian said at this time: "Stand down, let him continue!" ”

"No!"

When the guards heard the words of the head of the house, they had to step aside.

Pu Tian said: "Huo Guang, you keep talking!" ”

After Huo Guang coughed, he continued: "Ahem, it's very simple. The state is in charge of salt and iron, and it didn't say that you can't fight for grain? The state stockpiles grain, and you also stockpile grain, and if there is less grain outside, won't the price of this grain rise? ”

"And if there is a war, casualties are inevitable."

"What kind of medicine stones, leather, cloth, forage, etc., as long as you don't have a conscience, it's really too simple to get rich."

As he spoke, Huo Guang found out.

This Pu Tian's face was wrong, and he obviously had a tendency to be angry, and immediately, he stopped talking.

Waited a while.

Pu Tian seemed to have calmed down before he spoke: "Okay, send him back." ”

What?

directly said to send Huo Guang back, good guy, after wasting so many tongues, he actually sent him away with a word.

How could this Huo Guang endure it, and immediately said, "What about the money you promised?" ”

"Nope!" Pu Tian directly refused.

This made Huo Guang speechless, and immediately said, "Didn't you say that you made a promise?" ”

"Yes, but what you said is something I don't like to hear!" Pu Tian replied.

Boy.

Don't like to hear it? That's my fault.

Huo Guang immediately said: "Uncle, what about being a man, you have to talk about it." Aren't you rangers the most righteous in the rivers and lakes, I gave you an analysis, don't you give money? ”

"Asking for money? Find your brother Huo Huqi to go! Pu Tian sneered: "He is a marquis of ten thousand households, and there are many restaurants, so he shouldn't be short of money!" ”

"Hey, don't mention it, I'm hiding from my brother now!" Huo Guang sighed.

Hide?

Why did this kid hide from the hussar general Huo Quai?

In this regard, Pu Tian couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Isn't Champion Hou your brother, why are you hiding?" ”

Why?

Dong Lao peeked at other people's granddaughters when he was teaching and solving doubts, and he also scared them!

But Huo Guang is also a face-saving person, so naturally he wouldn't say that, so he touched himself up a little and said, "It's nothing, he sent me to study at Old Master Dong Zhongshu." As for me, I hated to see Dong Gong late, but because of some different concepts, I had a dispute. ”

"Dong Lao is old after all."

"When he saw that he couldn't win me, he kicked me out."
