Destiny Only Han

Chapter 228
"Gone? Where are you going?"

Being naked in front of others, Zhang Buji couldn't accept it, but after being molested by Liu Ying whistled, he completely let go.

He tore off his clothes and jumped into the water, wading to Liu Ying's side, looking fearless.

Anyway, everyone is male, so fencing is a big deal!
who is afraid of who!

Liu Ying lay on her back on the water: "Zhao Di, Han Xin is in the army."

Zhang Buyi's brows became tighter: "Your Majesty agrees to go?"

Liu Ying sneered disdainfully, and said pretendingly: "Whether I can or not depends on whether I want to, not whether he will let me..."

Outside the door, I was just about to come and enjoy the family happiness...

Well, to be precise, Liu Bang, who squeezed Liu Ying's labor force and asked him to rub his back, stopped, turned around silently, and went to find someone who could take advantage of him.

Zhang Buyi was overwhelmed by Liu Ying's domineering, and gave a thumbs up to praise him.

In fact, he was holding Liu Ying on purpose.

Without him, after Zhang Buji and Xiao Luoli officially got engaged, their hobbies became more and more consistent, that is, they like to watch Liu Ying being chased and beaten by old Liu or old Liu all over the yard every day.

This has become a beautiful landscape in the Han Palace...

But Liu Ying didn't care about it.

Most of the time, what adults like more is not their well-behaved child, but the most naughty big grievance!

In the chaotic flattery that Zhang Buyi closed her eyes, Liu Ying clenched her fists: "Take it! Today is enough, and I will praise the rest tomorrow!"

Zhang Buyi was deeply irritated by his shamelessness, so he poured water on his face desperately.

After playing around for a while, Liu Ying reiterated the previous question again.

"I'm going to Han Xin's army, do you want to go with me?"

Zhang Buyi hesitated for a moment: "Are you really going that far? Isn't it good to stay in Guanzhong?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "I have a reason to go, so don't ask. Well, you don't have to go to Han Xin's army with me, you just need to stay in Hedong Yanchi and be my representative."

Zhang Busu thought for a while, then nodded slightly in agreement.

About half a month ago, his mother sold many valuable items at home and invested almost all of the money in the financing initiated by Liu Ying to revitalize Hedong Yanchi.

Although Zhang Liang didn't care about fame and fortune, as the head of the family, Mrs. Zhang would not let go of any opportunity to make money as she supported hundreds of people.

In other words, Hedong Yanchi now also has a share of their Zhang family.

In this way, Zhang Buyi had full confidence in persuading his mother to agree to his travel.

As for safety, he has no worries.

The Zhang family is a prominent Zanying family for several generations. Although there are not many servants in the family who are willing to die for their masters, there are quite a few of them.

The reason why Liu Ying didn't want Zhang Buyi to go to Han Xin's army with him was because of the importance of Hedong Yanchi, and she needed someone she could trust and have a strong background to watch over.

Although Zhang Buyi was underage, he was already engaged to Liu Le. As the son-in-law of Han, no one dared to despise him in terms of status.

After all, although little Lolita is not pretty, as Liu Bang's eldest daughter, she has always been favored by Liu Bang.

Especially in this timeline when Lu Zhi was not captured and little Lolita was not reduced to a motherless child, she was adored by thousands of people.

Although Liu Ying sometimes annoys her, it is more of a natural rejection between siblings.

And her own loli can only bully herself. If outsiders dare to bully her, she must not let the other party live to see the sun the next day!

With a son-in-law and the double blessing of Zhang Liang's son-in-law, Liu Ying is completely at ease when Zhang Buyi sits in Hedong Yanchi.

He attached great importance to the Hedong Salt Pond not only because of the salt production there, but more importantly, for future plans.

In ancient times, salt and grain were actually hard currencies.

Needless to say, the latter can be eaten directly, but the former, unless it is in a place like Chaka Salt Lake where salt is used to pave the road, will never worry about being sold.

Therefore, there is a salt and iron franchise.

But the final abolition of this system was actually the product of the emperor's disadvantage in the game with the national interest groups and had to compromise.

After all, our country is a large country with a vast territory and a population of tens of millions most of the time.

Without the full cooperation of officials from all over the country, unless the emperor is the emperor, he would not be able to control the entire country by himself.

Well, even the emperor, there are still two or five youngsters...

Liu Ying's plan is not just to create wealth for the country by selling a lot of salt.

His real idea is to set up salt industry franchise stores all over the country, and use this as the center to spread out a market similar to the hypermarkets of later generations.

After the unification of the world, the country's main roads will gradually be covered with cement.

In this way, the commodity economy developed.

Therefore, the importance of currency has been highlighted.

As we all know, China is a copper-poor country, and the denomination of copper coins is too small. In fact, in people's daily economic activities, it is more of a conceptual money to measure the value of commodities.

According to Liu Ying's observation, when it is more than a few hundred yuan, when people regard it as a large transaction at this time, what the buyer actually pays is not copper coins, but silk.

The price of a piece of silk is about 7 to 28 renminbi, but the weight is only a little over three catties (Qin Jin), while copper coins of the same value, even if calculated according to the minimum standard of [-] renminbi, are close to the weight. [-] kilograms, if converted into Qin Jin, it would be [-] kilograms!
Therefore, in commodity transactions, it is very inconvenient to use copper coins for transactions.

As a result, there is a higher value gold currency.

But gold, a precious metal, is expensive because of its reserves on the earth, or not much output that can be mined.

Therefore, the intervention of another precious metal is needed.

silver.

Although there are not many silver mines in China, on the other side of the ocean, there is a very rich reserve of silver mines in a book that lives a good life.

During this period, and even until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the difficulty in communication between the Central Plains and the Benzi was actually due to the instability of a certain peninsula.

Starting from Benzi, in fact, the voyage is not very far, you can land at Bangzi, and then follow the land route, detour from Liaodong to the Central Plains.

Although the road is a bit far, it should be a good choice compared to the rough sea.

But as mentioned above, Bangzi is not stable, not only is the road difficult, but there are many beasts and robbers in the mountains and forests.

Compared with the two, it is safer to take a boat.

After all, capsizing is a probabilistic event, but if you go by land, you will definitely be robbed...

What Liu Ying has to do is to point out the direction for people when the commodity economy develops to a certain level and people begin to seek a more suitable currency.

Then, let the people coerce the imperial court, expand eastward, and seek wealth.

What a country should do is to meet the growing needs of its people for a better life.

As for people from other countries, it is not good to die, and it is better to stay as a place to dump products.

While Liu Ying and Zhang Buyi were finalizing a lot of details, a small servant hurried in outside the door.

"Report to Your Highness, Han Tan asks to see you."

"Han Tan?"

Zhang Buyi looked at Liu Ying with a little confusion on his face.

"It's the eunuch who assassinated Zhao Gao."

After Liu Ying briefly explained to him, she stood up from the hot spring, dried her body, changed into a set of clothes, and strode out.

On that day, he had a farewell talk with Han, and the other party said that he would guard Hu Hai's tomb for three years before coming to play for Liu Ying.

Now, in fact, only two years have passed, why are you here now?
In Liu Ying's confusion, he saw Han Tan in a side hall with a fireplace.

After a long time, the other party still had the same white face and beardless appearance, and even the sitting posture was what Liu Ying saw that day, the kind of sitting that was ready to serve others at any time.

Seeing Liu Ying walking in, Han Tan immediately bowed down with all five bodies on the ground.

This is not only because of the gap in rank and status between the two parties, but more importantly, Han Tan has always treated Liu Ying in the same way as his master.

"Get up, get up..."

Liu Ying stepped forward to help, this is a way of dealing with others that he learned from Liu Bang.

People are not animals, even people with low status need to be given some respect.

Perhaps this is the reason why Qin II died, but Han became the name of a nation.

Han Tan straightened his body and stared at Liu Ying: "I heard that His Highness is recruiting warriors and preparing to leave Guanzhong. Is this true?"

Liu Ying nodded: "It's absolutely true."

Well, although it is said that when Han Xin is there, he is not worried about being defeated and fleeing at all, but the minimum security protection is still required.

Moreover, these recruited warriors are also the wings that Liu Ying wove for herself.

Although he really wanted to call this army the Habayashi Army or the Huben Army, both of these were for the exclusive use of the monarch, so he could only name this army the Young Army.

Although, there are no young soldiers in his army, and the largest number are actually nomadic cavalry recruited from Rong Di and the Huns.

But, their family will have an emperor in the future, a supreme emperor, so he, the prince, can actually be regarded as a grandson.

The name of the young army is also very appropriate.

Seeing Liu Ying nodding, Han Tan asked again: "I can't change it? Do I have to go?"

Why do you come to ask this question... Liu Ying murmured in her heart, but nodded again.

Han Tan said sternly: "In this case, I would like to go to His Highness's side and imitate the power of dogs and horses!"

Liu Ying asked with a smile: "The three-year period has not yet come, and you are not guarding the grave for Emperor Qin II?"

Han Tan shook his head and said, "He is dead and I am alive. After I protect His Highness and return to Guanzhong, I will continue this year for him!"

At this moment, Hu Hai was buried in the tomb of the First Emperor, so he was not worried that someone would steal and dig Hu Hai's tomb.

After Liu Bang changed the flag and clothes in Guanzhong, the capital, he personally issued an edict, relocated five families to live in the imperial mausoleum, and exempted them from all taxes and corvee.

The purpose is to let them guard the mausoleum for the first emperor.
