Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 840 Guiding the maze
Liu Chan had thought a long time ago that maybe someone would not be afraid of his power and come to smash his own position. In his mind, this person would probably be Sun Ce, but he never thought that he would help everyone to express to himself in the end. Dissatisfied, the person who wanted to screw up his own place would be my father. Hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Chan's expression changed immediately.

But Liu Bei ordered without hesitation: "Let him come over!"

Liu Chan didn't dare to refuse, so he could only call a servant and let Wang Erlang come. Wang Erlang came here with some trepidation, and when he approached, Liu Bei and Sun Jian recognized him immediately. Liu Bei said with a smile: " I felt a little familiar just now, it turned out to be Erlang who sells meat porridge, hahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

"Greetings to Sikong." Wang Erlang also knew their identities at this moment, and hurriedly called on Liu Bei and then on Sun Jian.

"I said Wang Erlang, we are hearing the wonderful thing, why don't you continue?" Sun Jian asked a little displeased.

Without waiting for Wang Erlang to explain, Liu Chan said, "This is what I ordered, and this is how the local business will be done in the future."

"Hmph, what method, it's not good, it's not good, you can change it and let him finish the whole story today!" Liu Bei said displeased, Liu Chan was a little embarrassed, lowered his voice, and said, "Ah Father, only in this way, they will come again tomorrow, if the story is finished in one day, what will we do tomorrow?"

But Liu Bei still didn't agree, he looked around, and said just now: "You see, so many people are still unsatisfied, what is money? Let's finish it once!" In the eyes of Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, money is indeed It’s not a big deal, but for all the famous men of the Han Dynasty, there are those who are greedy for wine and fame, but few are greedy for money. Money may be the least worthwhile thing for them.

But Liu Chan doesn't think so. Isn't he doing so many things just for money?Doing according to my father's words, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?
Liu Chan was still hesitating, but Liu Bei was already a little annoyed. He frowned and asked, "What? Why don't you do it?"

Liu Chan raised his head and said, "My child has his own ideas, I'm afraid he won't be able to follow through!"

"Oh? That's fine." Liu Bei nodded, and then chatted with Sun Jian, never mentioning the matter again, Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little puzzled, he thought he was going to suffer from his father again He cursed suddenly, but he didn't expect that he was persuaded so easily by himself, which made Liu Chan a little confused, but he had a lot to do, so he didn't stay here any longer.

It wasn't until Liu Bei and Sun Jian decided to leave that Liu Chan stopped in front of them. Looking at Liu Chan's smiling face, Liu Bei said impatiently, "Why? Is there something else?"

"Father, father-in-law, the pavilion in this courtyard is still unknown, so please give me a name for the courtyard!" Liu Chan said seriously, and bowed to Liu Bei. Liu Bei heard the words, thought for a moment, and then said: "I see you This courtyard is full of virtuous and loyal people, so let’s call it the Xuxian Academy.” Liu Chan was overjoyed, looked at Sun Jian again, and said, “I hope my father-in-law will give the pavilion a name.”

Sun Jian stroked his long beard in relief, and said slowly, "Why don't we just call him Jincai Building."

"Huh?? Entering the financial building??" Liu Chan was stunned immediately, his eyes widened, and he was a little speechless. Sun Jian asked, "Does it feel bad?"

"Ah, that's not the case. It's good, it's good!" Liu Chan forced a smile, and everyone congratulated him. Then Sikong and Taiwei left the place. They didn't sit in the carriage for a long time. , or take a walk to feel more comfortable. Walking on the road, Liu Bei just asked: "Why did you choose such a name, hahaha, didn't you see that Chan'er's face turned blue?"

"Oh, what's wrong with me getting a name?"

"Vulgar, too vulgar."

"Hahaha, the name you got was for celebrities and scholars, and the name I took was for ordinary people. It's not only scholars who come to his courtyards and pavilions, it's easier to choose His name, with joy, can spread among the common people more quickly, and I am also thinking of him."

"such a pity"

"Unfortunately, I can no longer eat that meat porridge."

The first opening was very good, especially the story of Erlang, which attracted countless people. Word of mouth spread the name of Xuxian Academy, and Liu Chan's running around was indispensable. Liu Chan found a lot of people , specifically to spread the story of Xuxian Academy, just after a period of time, Xuxian Academy became very popular in Luoyang, countless famous people came here, and it was overcrowded. Such a huge courtyard cannot accommodate so many visitors up.

Without hesitation, Liu Chan prepared to set up branches in the other counties in the Sili area. In his mind, this Xuxianyuan would be spread all over every corner of Dahan, and not only those who saw the prospect of Xuxianyuan Liu Chan is alone.

Houde Hall.

Yuan Shang put the relevant documents in front of the emperor.

Liu Xi picked up the document with some doubts, but after flipping through it for a moment, he laughed, shook his head, and said, "Xianfu, why are you doing this, the child of Sikong's family opened a wine shop?" , you also want to report to me in person?”

"Your Majesty, it's not a wine shop. There are dinner parties and dancers in it. It has only been developed for a month, and it has become more complete and has everything that one expects. If it develops, it will definitely spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty."

"So what? If you're exhausted, you're still just a businessman. Isn't it great that a child from the Sikong family can work hard and be self-reliant, even if you're just a businessman?"

"Your Majesty, I think the Embroidered Clothes Emissary can send a large number of people into the Xuxian Academy. It is more convenient to inquire about the news here than other places." Yuan Shang said seriously, and Liu Xi nodded after listening to Yuan Shang's words, and smiled. He said: "Xianfu, you are my eyes and ears, you don't have to tell me about these matters, just decide for yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Shang saluted.

The two were chatting, when Qi Yue suddenly called out from outside the door: "Shang Shu ordered Xun Yu to greet His Majesty respectfully!"

Liu Xi was taken aback, looked at Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang bowed to the emperor, just walked out, reached the gate of the hall, saw Xun Yu who was waiting, Yuan Shang bowed to him, and left, Xun Yu He watched him leave thoughtfully, and then walked into the hall.

"Chen Yu pays homage to Your Majesty!", Xun Yu bowed to Liu Xi, waited for a while, but did not wait for the emperor to say no, Xun Yu respectfully maintained the appearance of saluting, only then did he hear the emperor say: "Get up!" ", Xun Yu stood up slowly, looked at the emperor, Liu Xi frowned, looking a little sullen.

"Mr. Xun Ling, why are you here again to find out about my going out?"

Xun Yu looked calm, bowed to the emperor again, and said, "I'm guilty!"

"What is your crime?"

"I disclosed the emperor's itinerary to Deng Ai, and asked him to wait for His Majesty outside the city. I want His Majesty to see the law of the polder with his own eyes."

"I saw it, your meritorious service is high."

Xun Yu didn't make any excuses, just stood there, very frankly, with his head down, not saying a word.

Liu Xi let out a long sigh, and said just now: "Mr. Xun Ling, if you want me to pay attention to Nongsang, you can play it. Why do you have to do this? No one can reveal my itinerary. As a minister, how can you not know?"

"The minister is guilty, and I hope His Majesty will punish him."

"I will punish you with one year's salary!"

"Thank you."

"Okay, Mr. Ling, sit down." Liu Xi beckoned, let Xun Yu sit in front of him, and then said: "This time, it's over, I don't care about it anymore, but if Next time, I will never forgive you!" Xun Yu thanked, and Liu Xi said seriously: "Deng Ai told me that day, and I sent someone to check, he did not cheat I."

"Nongsang is a national plan, and we can't let it go. Let him do Deng Ai's decrees related to Nongsang. Shang Shuling should help him more."

Xun Yu nodded.

"Hey, my ministers, none of them are free. Kong Ming and the others are busy compiling new laws, Liu Ba is busy issuing banknotes, and Deng Ai is busy promoting polder fields. Yesterday Cao Chong played again, saying that he wanted to change the tax law... I can't be free all day!!", Liu Xi seemed annoyed, but Xun Yu could tell that the emperor was in a good mood and couldn't hide the pride in his heart.

The emperor loves talents, and he is not afraid of being busy. Seeing these ministers come up with more policies, the emperor is indescribably proud and happy. Liu Xi asked with a smile: "Cao Chong's memorial table, Shangshu Have you seen it too?"

"The minister has never seen it."

Liu Xi picked up a memorandum from the case and handed it to Xun Yu, who took it, and then looked at it seriously. , but the fields involved are a bit messy, and some places are vacant, so Cao Chong wants to formally determine the taxes.

Xun Yu turned directly to the end to see what taxes he wanted to formulate.

"Goods increase tax?", when Xun Yu saw the first one, he was already confused. What is it?Xun Yu raised his head in doubt, looked at Liu Xi, Liu Xi stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "The so-called increase in goods is the value-added generated by the circulation and processing of commodities today, Xun Ling Don’t you know, sir?”

"Your Majesty is a great talent, but I don't know it!"

"Expenditure tax, business tax, big merchant tax, resource tax, forest tax, house tax, vehicle and vessel tax, carriage purchase tax, and ship tax." There are a total of [-] taxes, and Xun Yu is at a loss when he reads them. He has never read them. After reading books on this subject, I don't know much about taxes. Even Xun Yu couldn't understand what Cao Chong wrote. Fortunately, Liu Xi who was at the side helped explain the meaning of various taxes in a calm manner.

"Xun Linggong, what do you think?"

"This minister is stupid, I don't know."

Only then did Liu Xi proudly say: "Since Xun Linggong still didn't understand, I will explain them one by one for Xun Linggong."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qi Yue, who was standing at the gate of the palace, looked at the Son of Heaven with admiration. The state is giving instructions to the minister. What a rare thing, a great talent of the state. Although Cao Chong entered the palace yesterday and told the state in detail , But this does not hinder my admiration for the profound knowledge of the country.
