my brother champion

Chapter 104 Lie all officials to donate money!The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying

Originally, there were only two empty seats between Huo Guang and Jiang Wanqiu.

Sang Hongyang brought his daughter Sang Meiren and son Sang Qian over.

He happened to be sitting in these two seats, while Sang Hongyang and Xiaqiu Jianggong sat side by side on the other side.

When just sitting down.

Sang Qian also told Huo Guang that sitting on this table and chair was much more comfortable than the little stools they used to sit on.

After Sang Hongyang was seated, he happily greeted Xiaqiu Jianggong and Han Shuo.

But when Huo Guang threw out the note and asked his Chang'anle to donate 200 million yuan, Sang Hongyang's expression collapsed.

"Huo Yilang is joking, 200 million, is it necessary to donate so much?" Although Sang Hongyang is not a businessman, the Luoyang family behind him is a family of merchants.

There is no profiteering, no business, and the family is good at calculating.

Both buffs are superimposed.

Even if Sang Hongyang does not act as a businessman, the profit-seeking nature of the businessman cannot be changed.

Now Huo Guang asked him to donate 200 million yuan for no reason!

How could this be endured!

Even so, Chang'an's happiness doesn't have much to do with Sang Hongyang.

Huo Guang said lightly: "Master Sang, don't be in a hurry. I don't just let Chang'an donate. My Le Restaurant here also takes the lead in donating 200 million!"

however.

Sang Hongyang said, "Heh, Huo Yilang, the last time you had a paper competition, you also said that you and I each gave 50 yuan."

"But in the end?"

"Where did the 50 that my Sang family took out go? Didn't it get eaten by you!"

"Now Chang'an is happy to pay another 200 million. Could it be that the old tricks are repeated."

Huo Guang shook his head noncommittally to Sang Shizhong's statement, and said: "This time, donating money for disaster relief is His Majesty's intention. Sang Shizhong and I both obeyed His Majesty's orders this morning, why did he say such a thing?" Come?"

Sang Hongyang said: "Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of well ropes!"

"Huo Yilang!"

"It's not that Sang doesn't trust you. I really can't find a reason to convince you."

Can't find a convincing reason?

Ah!
Huo Guang didn't care whether you believed it or not, and said lightly: "This list of donations drafted by Ben Yilang is to be submitted to His Majesty for inspection. Could it be that Sang Shizhong can't even trust His Majesty?"

As soon as the words came out.

Sang Hongyang frowned slightly, he dared not say that he could not trust His Majesty.

That's going to cause trouble.

Immediately.

Sang Hongyang said: "If this list will be submitted to His Majesty for viewing, then Sang has nothing to say."

"only."

"The tax on alcoholic beverages is already high. Sang doesn't know how you run the business here. Anyway, let Chang'an Le take out 100 million yuan."

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"This is 200 million?"

"Hmph, impossible thing."

Is it very difficult for Chang'an Le to spend 100 million yuan?what's the situation.
The business over there is no worse than here, how could the profit be so low?
Huo Guang frowned slightly.

But soon.

He wanted to understand the matter.

High prices to poach singers, cooks, and the background of those officials, etc., all of which do not require financial support.

Chang'an Le's business.

No matter how popular it is, if there are more rules, the amount of money spent will be greater.

It's not like the music here, where the emperor takes care of it on top, and the background of the general Wei Qing on the bottom.

Although the reputation is great.

But the extra cost required is very small, and the natural profit is high.The more important point is that Huo Guang is basically in charge of all the income of Jian Le, and the partner Mrs. Wei and His Majesty seldom come to share the accounts.

But Chang'an is different.

What Li family, Sang family and so on.

The money earned every month, after all kinds of expenses are taken into account, and finally scored like this, no matter how much money there is, there is not much money.

After figuring this out, Huo Guang said with a faint smile: "Master Sang, I don't care how your Chang'an Le operates, and I don't care who will share the income equally in the end, but the donation money must always be taken out."

"If you don't donate?"

"Hum."

"With His Majesty's rectification of merchants, you understand!"

Sang Hongyang's ears twitched uncontrollably at Huo Guang's "scaremongering".

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always cracked down on wealthy businessmen, even if you are an upright businessman, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not like it.

As a close minister of His Majesty, Sang Hongyang certainly understood this.

After thinking about it.

He gritted his teeth and said to Huo Guang: "The Chang'an Le Restaurant can only pay a maximum of 100 million yuan!"

However, Huo Guang shook his head and said, "Less."

Sang Hongyang said with a dark face: "It's a lot, Huo Yilang, it's useless if you force me again. One million is the bottom line I can convince the operators behind Chang'an Le. If you ask too much, they won't accept it." for you!"

See here.

Huo Guang could only shrug his shoulders and said, "That's up to you!"

"Anyway, this draft list will be reviewed by His Majesty at that time."

"If His Majesty is not satisfied."

"Then you can't blame me."

Sang Hongyang frowned, but still said: "There is only 100 million, even if it is for His Majesty to check, it is only 100 million!"

see.

Huo Guang didn't care about him anymore.

on the desktop.

He discussed with Sang Hongyang, Xiaqiu Jianggong and others about tomorrow's donation.

And under the tables and chairs.

Sang Hongyang's sons and daughters took out the Landlord card that Huo Guang taught them last time, and asked softly, "Huo Guang, after eating, play two games, no, it's been a long time!"

"Hey, I don't have time, you can find Jiang Wanqiu, Nuo, the woman next to your sister. I am discussing with your father about disaster relief, how can I have time!" Huo Guang waved his hand and directly kicked the invitation to Xiaqiu Jiang Gong's granddaughter.

Still playing cards?
He is going to do great things!

How can there be that time.

When Sang Qian heard this, he elbowed Sang Meiren and said, "Quick, little girl, ask the woman next to you if you want to play?"

"Oh, Sang Qian, you play this at home every day, haven't you played enough?" Sang Mei said suddenly dissatisfied.

however.

But Sang Qian said: "At home, Xiang'er lets us go every day. It's boring to play, but it's more interesting to play with outsiders."

"never mind."

"I'll ask myself."

then.

Sang Qian talked to Jiang Wanqiu through her sister, and said, "Hey, do you want to play a card game?"

"What?" Jiang Wanqiu frowned suddenly.

She didn't want to be here.

But Taigong is old, if he doesn't come along to this banquet, he will feel uneasy.

Facing Sang Qian's invitation, Jiang Wanqiu instinctively wanted to refuse.

however.

Sang Qian, who was on the side, introduced her familiarly, saying: "It's very fun, don't worry, even if you are not very smart, you can understand the card game in no time."

"look!"

"Even someone as stupid as my sister can do it, you can't be stupid than my sister!"

In a word.

Offended two women.

Huo Guang on the side looked dumbfounded.

There was a black line on Jiang Wanqiu's forehead, and she wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but the grandfather beside her said, "Wanqiu, you can go and play with Alang of the Sang family. I think it's boring for you to listen to, and it's not too bad." eat."

Jiang Wanqiu said, "It's because the food here is not good!"

The voice came out.

Huo Guang couldn't help frowning, of course he heard this complaint.

I was a little unhappy on the spot.

a restaurant.

How could the food not be delicious?

of course.

Huo Guang didn't care about what this little girl said, and he still cared about discussing the list of donations with Sang Hongyang.

At this time.

But Sang Qian suddenly yelled at his father: "Father, I'll take my little sister to play cards, you guys talk about your affairs."

It is different from the way Xiaqiu Jianggong treats his granddaughter.

Sang Hongyang glared at his son, and scolded directly: "You are a worthless thing, bringing you to the table is to make you mature and learn how adults do things and talk."

"What kind of cards do you still play?"

"Don't be ashamed!"

After being scolded by Sang Hongyang, Sang Qian immediately closed his mouth resentfully.

It was Xiaqiu Jianggong who said with a smile on the side: "Sang Shizhong, why bother to be angry, children should play. Wanqiu, go and play with Sang's family, Alang, we adults and adults are discussing things by the side, and you are on the sidelines." It's not good to bother."

"Ah."

The grandpa said so, and Jiang Wanqiu could only agree.

Sang Qian sat there without moving, looking at his father resentfully.

no way.

Sang Hongyang looked at his son's hopeless look, and finally he could only wave his hands and said, "Go, go!"

then.

Sang Qian took his younger sister and Jiang Wanqiu to a table where no one was around, and played a card game of Fighting the Landlords.

The adults continued to talk about things.

Sang Hongyang looked a little embarrassed at this moment, and said: "Hey, the son is really not like the father. I'm sorry, I made you a joke."

But Dongfang Shuo said: "Why should Sang Shizhong be sad? After two years, the crowning ceremony will be fine. Now the children are still young, and they are all like this. The so-called dragon has nine sons, and the nine sons are different. Talented like Huo Yilang Smart people are, after all, a minority.”

The words fall.

Everyone's eyes turned to Huo Guang one after another, but Huo Guang felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, thick-skinned enough!

He held up the wine glass filled with fruit wine, and said lightly: "Master Dongfang praised me so much, I was also making a fuss. I think I was kicked out of Mengxue by Mr. Dong at the beginning, and I am ashamed to say it."

The speaker is careless.

The listener is interested.

aside.

Xiaqiu Jianggong heard this, and immediately said: "Dong Gong? Are you talking about Dong Zhongshu? Hehe, Huo Yilang, if Dong Zhongshu doesn't teach you rams, you can come to this old man to learn from Guliang."

Good guy.

This is going to poach someone's corner!

Huo Guang immediately laughed awkwardly, and said: "Let's continue discussing about donations. Jiang Gong and Sang Shizhong, can you list the list of wealthy merchants in Chang'an area, so that I can write a donation." Quota!"

"."

The next day.

In Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ordered the Sangong and Jiuqing into the palace to discuss matters related to the drought in the northwest.

only.

This time is different from yesterday.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called these officials of the Han Dynasty to come, and there was only one purpose.

Let officials take the lead in donating money.

I saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stepping down from his high position in a rare way, walking slowly among the ministers, and said calmly with his hands behind his back: "Yesterday, I asked you court officials to give a solution to the drought in the Northwest, but you can't give me a solution." , and opposed my promotion of platinum coins."

"I don't blame you."

"Because someone has already given a solution."

"As for the person who gave the solution, I won't say who it is. However, I feel very comfortable listening to a sentence he said, and I will read it to you."

"He said that when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible."

"He also said that if one party is in trouble, it should be supported by all parties."

Speaking of here.

Emperor Wu of the Han's eyes swept over the ministers one by one, and finally stopped on Prime Minister Li Cai, and asked indifferently: "What do you think, Prime Minister Li?"

The words fall.

Prime Minister Li Cai immediately bowed slightly and said, "Although the wording is concise, the intention is clear, clear, and easy to understand. The old minister boldly guessed that the solution given by this person lies in these two sentences!"

Li Cai's qualifications are still very high.

From the beginning of fighting against the Xiongnu in the period of Emperor Jing, to abandoning military affairs and entering politics later, it can be said that the official career has been prosperous along the way.

I don't know how much better than his unlucky cousin Li Guang.

Seeing that Li Cai had guessed right, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, nodded his head and said, "Hmph, it seems that Prime Minister Li is not confused, the method is indeed in these two sentences."

"I order you to come today!"

"I only ask you to do one thing and take the lead in donating money."

"The purpose of your donation is to guide those wealthy businessmen to donate money."

"All right."

"That's all for now. It's not good to talk too much. After today's court meeting is over, all of you court ministers should go to wait outside Langya Pavilion. How much you donate depends on your ability. If you donate a lot, I won't ask." Where do you get your money from? Donations are small, hum"

The words fall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che waved his hand and left the Weiyang Palace, leaving only the backs of the officials.

this scenario.

Seeing the many ministers in the court hall, he was stunned, but he dared not offend His Majesty's majesty.

At last.

He could only salute to that figure, and shouted: "I will take my leave."

On the other side, in front of the gate of Langya Pavilion, people were already surrounded.Most of them are ministers in the court.

A group of ministers, surrounded by a certain street in Chang'an City, still have to wait to donate money?

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened.

Faced with the orders issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, how dare the officials not listen?
Helpless!

These pampered ministers can only complain while waiting.

And in the Langya Pavilion.

As the advocate of the Guliang faction, Xiaqiu Jianggong seemed a little nervous at the moment.Looking outside at the Sangong Jiuqing who originally only appeared in the court meeting in the palace, he felt that he was now on a bandit again.

Those in front of me are the Sangong Jiuqing of the Han Dynasty.

Jiuqing.

It's not that there are only nine department officials.

in ancient times.

Nine is the extreme number, meaning complete.The meaning of Sangong Jiuqing means that those in power express that their official system is very perfect.

At this time.

Huo Guang came to Xiaqiu Jianggong, and said calmly: "Jianggong, don't panic, just read it according to the manuscript."

"Old man don't panic"

Don't panic?
Why are your hands shaking?
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, although his heart was a little funny, he still supported Xiaqiu Jiang Gong and said: "Jiang Gong, let's go, it's time for us to go on stage, otherwise in this hot day, those three lords and nine lords have been waiting for a long time, and they will scold people." gone."

"well."

Xiaqiu Jianggong nodded.

Subsequently.

Huo Guang waved to the other people in the pavilion and walked out.

Along with Huo Guang and Xiaqiu Jianggong were Han Shuo, Dongfang Shuo, and Sang Hongyang. The five of them took the stage together, facing the wealthy businessmen who had already been notified by Sangong Jiuqing.

At this time.

Huo Guang reminded Xiaqiu Jianggong: "Jianggong, if you are in a panic, why don't I read this manuscript!"

"The old man said, don't panic."

Xiaqiu Jianggong glared at Huo Guang, then tremblingly took out the manuscript that Huo Guang gave him.

Take a step forward from the five.

Subsequently.

Holding the manuscript, he shouted loudly to everyone in the audience: "The wind is blowing. The clouds are flying!"
