Destiny Only Han

Chapter 311 Liu Ying: Have you heard of Amway?

"...the pillars of a building are more than the farmers in Nanmu; the rafters of the beams are more than the workers on the machine; the nail heads are more than the millet in Yu; the tile joints are more uneven than the whole body; the straight columns The horizontal threshold is more than the city of the nine earths; the orchestra is more dumb than the words of the city people..."

Liu Du Mu Ying stood on the spot with his hands on his hips, shaking his head and reciting a cut version of "A Fang Gong Fu", which made Zhang Cang and Yan Zechi stunned...

Well, the reason why it is a deleted version is because Afang Palace actually only laid a foundation, and the Qin Kingdom is gone...

Naturally, those passages describing Efang Palace need to be cut.

But according to what Liu Ying saw that day, although the scene Du Mu described was a bit exaggerated, it was actually not far behind.

After all, although Du Mu has never seen Efang Palace, he has seen the extravagance of the Tang royal family, so the speculation about Afang Palace in the full text is not completely groundless.

It's just that Du Mu's layout is still small.

During the Tang Dynasty, lessons learned from the downfall of previous dynasties, coupled with the improvement of the architectural level, although the imperial palace is magnificent, it does not need to show its majesty through the building area.

Well, this area is relatively speaking, because whether it is Daming Palace or other palaces, the area occupied is several times that of the Forbidden City...

During the Qin Dynasty, the Jingwei Plain where the entire Xianyang City was located was actually covered by the Qin Palace!

In the era of underdeveloped productivity, the construction of such a scale of palaces, especially the huge cost of annexation wars, the consumption of people's fat and anointment, and the degree of search for the people can be imagined.

That's why there is a saying that "if one man is in trouble, the seven temples will die, and if he dies, he will be the laugher of the world".

After Zhang Cang closed his eyes and nodded frequently, he looked at Liu Ying more and more sadly.

"Since the prince knows about it, why do he need to control such a large population and start construction projects? Especially now that the people's livelihood is dying and they need to recuperate..."

Liu Ying scratched her head slightly under Zhang Cang's accusation, and he finally understood why the early Han Dynasty had to follow Huang Lao's way of doing nothing.

Hmph, it's all the fault of Tyranny!
After all, righting too much must go too far...

After a moment of silence, Liu Ying said: "That's why we need a full-time engineering team more and more to carry out large-scale construction projects!"

"Qin's demise lies in the lack of compassion for the power of the people, and the collection of corvee at will."

"So now, with such a full-time engineering team, many things such as dredging the gap, maintaining the Zhengguo Canal, and paving all the roads that run through the world with concrete will no longer need to be conscripted."

In Liu Ying's narration, although Zhang Cang didn't understand it immediately, Yan Zechi's eyes lit up.

Unlike Zhang Cang, who was born in a Gaoliang family, Yan Zechi was born in a very ordinary peasant family.

When he joined Liu Bang's command, he was holding a shield, which is a small official corresponding to holding a halberd.

Well, there were very few people under Liu Bang at that time, so unless they were completely illiterate, they were easily appointed to various positions.

Yan Zechi, who has experience at the bottom, fully understands what kind of evil government Liu Ying said is the arbitrary collection of corvee.

Regardless of China or foreign countries, no matter ancient or modern, wherever there are people, there must be people with sophistication.

And far away from the place above the temple, sophistication is especially important.

Take a chestnut.

For example, if the government wants to strengthen the river embankment during the flood season, it must impose corvee, and whether it is summer flood or autumn flood, most of them are during the busy farming season.

In order to save travel time and prevent wild animals from invading crops, many farmers usually build a thatched hut beside the field and guard it day and night.

If corvee is imposed at this time, after losing the strong labor force, the grain production will inevitably decrease, but if the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes do not decrease, I am afraid that they will have to borrow money to survive.

Therefore, there are many ways to choose who to go and who not to choose.

The powerful households and low-level officials colluded with each other, making the poor poorer and the rich richer, and land annexation was inevitable.

If there is a construction team that is completely separated from the farming system...

Yan Zechi nodded heavily: "Prince, this idea is very good, I support you to go ahead and do it!"

Well, in ancient times, after a man has a grown son, he can call himself an old man, while a woman can call herself an old lady without any burden after getting married, which is completely different from some old aunts who are always eighteen...

With a smile on Liu Ying's face, she immediately shook off Zhang Cang, who was still in a daze, and pulled Yan Zechi aside: "Then, what about the cost of buying prisoners of war?"

Yan Zechi raised his eyebrows: "It's easy to say, easy to say..."

........................

At nightfall, Liu Bang, the Han army, commanded the tent.

The wine and meat are fragrant, and the singing and dancing are jubilant.

The dancer musician captured from Xiang Yu before was working hard to show her value for the new owner.

Especially those dancers with graceful figures, although their expressions are very serious, there is a spring of spring in their brows, and their big watery eyes flicker across the faces of the generals in the tent from time to time.

Extra alluring!

At this time, Xiang Yu had already died in battle. Although some parts of Chu State had not yet surrendered, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the world would definitely belong to Han!

So the little thoughts of these dancers are very clear.

Although these civil servants and military generals behaved vulgarly, they were all upstarts. Although the position of first wife was elusive, if they could hook up successfully, relying on their ability to please men, it would not be a problem to be a rich man.

Well, a more emotionally intelligent way of saying is, I'd rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre wife.

But today, they miscalculated a little.

It's not that they are not attractive enough, and it's not that the group of killers in the tent are not greedy for beauty, but that there are more seductive things at the moment.

Dahan Civil Engineering Co., Ltd., the first batch of shareholders are enthusiastically applying...

Although some of them don't know what an engineering company is, nor do they know the official meaning of shareholders, but it doesn't prevent them from being full of interest.

Especially after they heard about the year-end dividends of Dahan Salt Industry's Hedong branch and Donghai branch, they whispered frequently, completely ignoring the pairs of eyes that were gradually filled with sorrow.

After a while, Liu Bang arrived at the scene. After accepting Zhang Ao Hanxin's pilgrimage, he ignored the generals who were whispering to each other, and nodded slightly to Wei Wuzhi who was standing beside him, signaling the official start of the dinner.

As a result, the sound of the music changed from the previous cheerfulness to solemnity.

"The bow and bow are here, and the words are hidden. I have guests, and the center will welcome them. The bells and drums are set up, and they will be served at once..."

"The red bow is here, and it is carried by the words. I have a guest, and the center is happy. The bell and drum are set up, and once they are on the right..."

"The bow and bow are here, and I will accept the words. I have guests, and the center likes them. The bells and drums are set up, and I will pay for them..."

Liu Ying, who was sitting beside Liu Bang, quietly looked around the audience, and saw people such as Han Xin and Zhang Ao relaxed slightly, while Ying Bu and Peng Yue gathered together and toasted each other, obviously not understanding the meaning of the song .

The music played at this time is "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Tonggong".

This is a ballad describing how the emperor of Zhou rewarded his ministers after he destroyed the Shang Dynasty.

Liu Bang played this piece of music at today's dinner, at the suggestion of Zhang Liang, to express to all the princes who came that he did not have the idea of ​​cunning and dead dogs, on the contrary, he would follow the example of Zhou Tianzi and treat Hero, share the world with everyone!
Yingbo and Peng Yue obviously suffered from the culture...

But Liu Bang didn't care about the two of them, as long as he could stabilize Han Xin, who had the most support at the moment, today's dinner would be worth it!

At the end of the singing and dancing, the protruding dancers and sisters left the stage in resentment.

So, in the big tent as spacious as a palace, the sound of apes on both sides of the strait suddenly stopped...

However, Fan Kui, who took the lead in making troubles in the past, turned out uncharacteristically today. He approached Liu Ying quietly and saw Liu Bang chatting with Zhang Liang, so he asked in a low voice:
"really?"

Liu Ying knowingly asked: "What is true and false?"

Fan Kuai was not angry either, but asked again in a low voice: "It's about investing in shares."

Liu Ying pretended to smile: "Of course it's true, why is Marquis Linwu also interesting?"

Fan Kuai nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Interesting, of course interesting!"

At the earliest time, Fan Kui enthusiastically signed up when Liu Ying was the first batch to recruit shares in Hedong Yanchi out of a certain curve to save the country.

Then, send it!

After that, Liu Ying became more and more active in many public offerings.

However, as Liu Bang's wine and meat friend, he also pursues the same philosophy as Liu Bang.

When all the gold is gone, it will come back, and the good wine and meat can't be broken...

So money comes and goes quickly.

Moreover, with the improvement of Liu Bang's status, the Lu family has also risen under the leadership of Lu Zhi, so if you want to marry the Lu family, the dowry gift should not be shabby.

So of course more money is better.

Seeing Fan Kuai like this, Liu Ying felt calm.

If you win this battle, there will be countless rewards.

So although Yan Zechi didn't increase the price because of his face, he took tens of thousands of prisoners of war all at once, especially when these people changed from public ownership to private ownership, whether it was security or food and shelter, Liu Ying's Cash flow is starting to run out.

After all, these people are all grown men. Even at the lowest price at this time, the redemption fee alone would cost hundreds of millions in cash!
Of course, you can make a white note...

But IOUs are the same as Huabei, they must be paid back!
So a public offering has become imminent.

And Liu Ying has another idea.

Although the amount of money awarded to the army is an astronomical amount, the [-]/[-] rule also applies at this moment.

These 'monkeys' who were drinking and having fun in the tents and started drinking madly, their share of rewards should account for at least half of the total amount.

After they bought the shares with the reward money, Liu Ying could use the money to pay off the redemption fee owed to Yan Zechi.

And after Yan Ze had money in his red pocket, he could complete the due rewards without any delay.

Then came the second batch of offerings, the third batch of offerings...

This is how the perpetual motion machine was born...

ps: Today I listened to Silly X's report, and I came back a little late, so Chapter 2 may be late, sorry!
