Destiny Only Han

Chapter 403 Liu Ying: The Wind Begins at the End of Qingping

"Well, I want this one..."

Zhang Busu took out a stack of blank bills from his pocket, wrote down the corresponding amount on one of them, stamped it, and handed it over.

The person in charge of selling the livestock is a small official of the government. Although he doesn't know who Zhang Buyi is, he will not reject the money ticket in Zhang Busu's hand.

After all, behind the money ticket is the future Emperor Han II, the current Crown Prince of the First Han Empire...

Well, there is no year number at this time, and the year number will be formally changed after Liu Xiaozhu comes to power, and the yuan will be changed crazily.

Maybe it was because of the smell in the market, or maybe it was because Zhang Liang, who was pretending to be sick and not going to work, stood behind Zhang Buyi wearing a mask and hood, and looked at this kind of man with only one piece of paper with great interest. With paper, transactions worth tens of thousands of dollars can be completed.

Seeing Zhang Buyi who was walking non-stop to another place and started to sweep the goods, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you buy so many horses?"

Zhang Buxin said without looking back, "It's not that I want to buy it, but that my father's good student wants to buy it..."

The corners of Zhang Liang's lips hidden under the mask twitched slightly. His son had grown up and his wings were hardened. He dared to speak to himself in such a tone, so after returning home, he was going to give Zhang Buyi a long memory...

Anyway, he was about to have a second child, and the only son became the eldest son, so he would naturally begin to transform into a strict father.

Zhang Liang followed and asked, "Then, why did Liu Ying buy so many horses?"

Zhang Buyi turned around in surprise: "Didn't mother tell father about Liu Ying's founding of a shipping company?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback: "Why did you tell me?"

Zhang Buyi raised his head, and the contempt flashed in his eyes: "Because our family also participated in the shares!"

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes, waved his hands and said, "I'm not interested in money! Your mother has always been in charge of the family business. So I don't know, it should be a normal thing, right?"

"So that's the case, it's my son's mistake." Zhang Buyi nodded lightly, but decided in his heart to wait to play with Liu Fei and not go home for a few days.

He avoided Zhang Liang's eyes and said: "Liu Ying's freight company is divided into two departments, one of which is specialized in freight transportation. This department adopts a cooperative system, that is, we are responsible for recruiting and charging for the work, and then dispatch the work to the self-provided carriage. collaborators, and finally divided according to the proportion."

Zhang Liang nodded. He had heard about this matter. Xiao He had told him before that the time and loss of autumn grain storage and transshipment at the frontier this year were faster and reduced a lot compared to previous years.

He didn't care about it at the time, but thinking about it now, it should be the reason for the existence of this shipping company.

"As for the second department, Liu Ying called it the Welfare Department, which is mainly for public transportation services."

Zhang Buyi continued excitedly: "For example, the horses purchased this time are mainly used for public carriage projects. The latest two routes are from Liyang and Xincheng to Xinfeng City. .”

"Father, you should have heard that the second Taifeng Cup will officially start in a few days. These two carriages are specially set up for the convenience of spectators who have bought tickets to watch the competition!"

Hearing what Zhang Buyi said, the corners of Zhang Liang's lips hidden under the mask rose slightly.

Although he has been pretending to be sick and not going out, he knows about the Dafeng Cup. After all, he is Liu Ying's teacher. Not only does he have tickets, but he is also the VIP seat at the best viewing position...

As soon as these two routes started, according to what he learned about the ticket purchases, Liu Ying could earn back the money he paid for the carriage and driver in the early stage in a matter of minutes!

Oh, as expected of you!

Father and son linked each other, although Zhang Liang didn't say anything, but Zhang Buyi still knew what Zhang Liang was thinking at the moment, so he said with a smile: "Father may think that we will benefit from it?"

Zhang Liang also laughed, and asked back: "When did your future brother-in-law make a loss-making business?"

Hearing the sound of brother-in-law, Zhang Buyi couldn't help showing a twitch on his face, but he quickly rubbed his cheeks, calmed down his emotions and said:
"Father was really wrong this time. These two traffic routes are really not for making money."

"Liu Yingxin said in the letter that all spectators holding tickets will ride in the horse-drawn carriage for free! Because it is a trial run, those who do not have tickets will not be entertained."

"And this is just a military training. After the Taifeng Cup is over, the coachmen and other personnel recruited by the Freight Trading Company will be familiar with the operation of public transportation. In the future, we will open a public carriage route through the whole city in Liyang City. The monthly ticket is [-] yuan! "

"That is to say, you only need ten dollars, and you can ride in a carriage for a month!"

"Well, after Chang'an City and New City are completely built, such public carriages will cover the whole city!"

Zhang Liang's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that this was what Liu Ying did.

Although his student sometimes has the feat of plucking a hair and benefiting the world, but this kind of behavior of plucking himself bald is not like what Liu Ying would do!
So he asked: "Ten renminbi a month, 120 renminbi a year, equivalent to a stone of corn, such a low income, not to mention raising horses, maybe even the coachman can't afford it?"

Zhang Buyi said with a smile: "Father often said that Liu Ying and I were full of money, but I didn't expect that today I also got money!"

"Liu Ying said that if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world! Did the public carriage lose money? It must be a loss, but the loss is not much, and it is completely within the acceptable range! But we only have the size of the merit. Being in a high position and eating the blood of the people, you should naturally do your part to repay the country and benefit the common people!"

Zhang Liang stretched out his mask, and said in a low voice, "That sentence was not said by Liu Ying, but by Mencius... When you get home, copy the "Full Text of Mencius" ten times!"

Liyang City, Xiangguo Mansion.

The prince's family ordered Xiao Lu to step down from the carriage, and walked to a courtyard in the back garden with ease, where there were all kinds of houses, ponds, gazebos and flower gardens. It was difficult for people to associate it with the power center of the Han Empire.

Xiao Lu stood at the door of the monastery and took off his silk shoes and put on a pair of soft slippers. Nowadays, except for formal occasions, many people will take off their shoes and only wear socks, that is, walk around in full clothes. For the rest of the informal occasions, Everyone is used to wearing such soft and comfortable slippers.

The slippers he is wearing now are royal joint models, and the price of each pair is only 998...

Xiao Lu walked into the abode and bowed to Xiao He who was writing at the desk wearing reading glasses: "Father..."

Xiao He didn't respond immediately, but just waved his hand to signal him to find a place to sit.

After a while, Xiao He finished reviewing today's last memorial, sorted them into categories, and found someone to take away those memorials that needed Liu Bang's final instructions, and sent them to the camp of the army in a hurry. Finally, he raised his head, Looking at Xiao Lu who was sitting below:

"You are not staying in the Prince's East Palace, what are you going to do when you come to Weifu's place?"

The corner of Xiao Lu's mouth raised, and he silently passed the text in his hand: "Father, please read, this is the book written by the crown prince, about the proposal for tax exemption for public utilities..."

Xiao He took it and put it aside casually: "Just tell me, what new tricks does he have?"

Xiao Lu sat upright and said: "The crown prince said that the imperial court should encourage the people of the country to contribute to the country, especially those rich people!"

"For example, the public carriage project that is being planned, the country should reduce or exempt taxes on it."

Xiao He twirled his beard, and a gleam flashed in his dim eyes: "Are you referring to the Freight Trading Company, or the public carriage department under the Freight Trading Company?"

Xiao Lu opened his mouth, and said to Xiao He's perceptive eyes: "Naturally, it's a shipping company. After all, the latter belongs to the former, and all expenses are borne by the former..."

When Xiao Lu was full of apprehension, Xiao He took off Liu Ying and gave him reading glasses polished by himself: "Yes. But the specific details need to be determined after the prince returns."

Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts.

Xiao He kept smiling and asked, "Do you know about Zi Gong redeeming people?"

Xiao Lu nodded and said, "I know. It's about Duan Muci (Zigong), a student of Confucius."

"The state of Lu has a decree. If a Lu person sees a countryman reduced to a slave in a foreign country, as long as he can buy these slaves and send them back to the state of Lu, he can get compensation and rewards."

"After Duanmu gifted and redeemed the slaves, he rejected the state's reward, so the master said: The gift is lost. From now on, Lu people have not redeemed people. If you take the money, you will not be harmed. If you don't take the money, you will not be redeemed. people."

"Zilu rescued a drowning man, and the man thanked him for giving him a cow, and Zilu accepted it, so Zilu said: Lu people will save the drowning man."

Xiao He nodded and said: "It is based on this that I agree with what the prince said. It doesn't matter what one's heart is in everything, as long as the intention is good and what he does is beneficial to the country, then what he thinks in his heart has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Lu stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed his hands and bowed: "I would like to be taught."

Xiao He looked at the eldest son in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction. If the father and son had two generations of prime ministers, assisting two generations of monarchs, it would be a good story that would be famous through the ages!

After saluting again, Xiao Lu was about to leave the abode, when he suddenly turned around and said, "I forgot to say, His Royal Highness flew a letter from Mayi City, saying that the army has already set out, and His Majesty will return to Liyang soon."

Xiao He hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Didn't Your Majesty say that you will go to Handan to meet the princes and kings, why did you change your mind?"

Xiao Lu shook his head and said: "The prince said that His Majesty wanted to come back to watch the football match, but whether it is true or not, my son does not know..."

Looking at Xiao Lu's leaving figure, Xiao He who was about to stand up and stretch his muscles suddenly froze. He remembered a secret report sent from Kanto, which should be sent to Chen Ping instead of him. But it was a secret report sent by accident.

Zhao Wang, Zhang Ao, seems to have a private relationship with Huainan Wang Yingbu...
