my brother champion

Chapter 128 Sang Hongyang!That's right, I, Huo Guang, betrayed you again
My father scolded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Hearing the news from the servants of the general's mansion, Huo Guang was frightened and speechless for a while.

What is the honor of the ninth five!
Is that something a little Pingyang County official can scold?I'm afraid you don't want a Jiuzuxiaoxiaole package, do you?

Think about it.

I felt something was wrong again.

What kind of temperament is his cheap father Huo Zhongru?

Timid and fearful, plus some lust, but this is the only one who is not even greedy for money.How dare such a person scold His Majesty?
Huo Guang didn't believe it, and immediately asked the servant who came up from the general's mansion: "Nonsense, my father has always been very strict, how could he insult His Majesty?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the servant hurriedly said: "It's true, Huo Alang, Your Majesty entered the mansion in the name of Marquis Pingyang to congratulate him, but Your Honor didn't know that he was His Majesty. And Your Majesty knew the late Marquis of Pingyang, thinking that His Majesty came to the mansion Cheat food and drink."

As soon as the words came out.

Huo Guang believed it a little bit.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really liked to go out of the palace privately as the Marquis of Pingyang.

even.

He also lied to Huo Guang, saying that he is a ranger, and what kind of patriarch is he?

The family is not the owner of the family.

But
King of a country!

His cheap father, Huo Zhongru, worked in Pingyanghou's mansion back then, so he naturally knew Pingyanghou.

Think about everything.

Huo Guang realized that the servant from the general's mansion did not lie to him, and there was no need for the other party to tell such a lie.

present.

He couldn't care about anything else, and ran out of the restaurant quickly.

when going out.

Seeing him running in a hurry, Mrs. Huo hurriedly asked, "Hey, Guang'er, why are you running so fast? What's the matter!"

Huo Guang didn't want his mother to worry, so he said, "It's all right, I'll go to the general's mansion and get something and I'll be back."

The words fall.

He had already got into the carriage and rushed back to the general's mansion.

Just in the process.

Huo Guang didn't notice that standing next to his mother was Sang Meiren, the unruly younger sister of Sang Hongyang's family.

Sang Mei was holding Mrs. Huo's arm, and asked, "Mrs. Huo, please continue to talk about it. After your son was seriously ill, why did his temperament change so much?"

"."

Even if his elder brother is the champion Hou Huo Qubing, he would not be able to bear the crime of insulting the emperor in ancient times.

It is said that those who do not know are not guilty.

But if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was angry, wouldn't it be a matter of one sentence to cut off whose head?

And Huo Guang really didn't expect it!

My father would cause such a big trouble.

The carriage traveled very fast all the way, and since Chang'an City was not big, it didn't take long to arrive at the Shogunate's Palace.

Huo Guang got out of the carriage and calmed down his mind.

Then he strode directly into the General's Mansion, seeing the banquets everywhere, the guests were still eating and drinking, chatting and laughing endlessly.

see.

Huo Guang calmed down a little.

Since the guests are still eating, it means that things have not happened to the extent that Huo Guang did not expect.

But when he entered the house, he saw that the faces of Wei's family members were all dark.

Huo Guang felt something was wrong again.

Seeing his father bowing his head in shame, Huo Guang knew that he had really caused trouble.

But as a son, he couldn't say anything about his father, so he could only walk up to his father slowly and ask, "Father, what's going on?"

Huo Zhongru raised his head and glanced at his youngest son, then even shook his head and said, "I have caused a big disaster for my father this time, eh."

As soon as this word comes out.

Zhan Shi Chen Zhang, who already knew Huo Zhongru's identity, immediately said: "Hmph, it's fine if you are unlucky, today is Qu Bing's big wedding, don't get involved with Qu Bing."

Hear this.

Huo Zhongru, the cheap father, had an even more ashamed expression on his face.

Huo Guang squinted at Chen Zhang.

Tell the truth.

Huo Guang didn't know Chen Zhang either. After all, although the other party was Wei Shao'er's husband, he hadn't been to the general's residence in the past two years.

Huo Guang didn't know him.

of course.

He still knew Wei Shaoer's aunt, but because of his status, Huo Guang never spoke to her.

After taking a look at Chen Zhang.

Huo Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said displeasedly: "Who are you, my father and my brother's matter, why don't you talk about it?"

Chen Zhang was choked by Huo Guang, and he was about to get angry and said, "You little boy!"

but.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Shaoer, saying: "Husband, don't talk nonsense."

"Madam, I." Facing Wei Shao'er, Chen Zhang didn't dare to show his anger at all, and suddenly seemed a little helpless.

After Wei Shaoer told Chen Zhang to shut up.

Huo Zhongru also said to Huo Guang: "My son, he is right. It doesn't matter if you are unlucky for your father. I hope you don't get your brother involved."

Huo Guang frowned immediately, and said, "By the way, where is brother?"

in a while.

Elder brother Huo Qubing will follow the pre-arranged procedure to start from the General's residence, and then go here to marry Sun Ying.

At this moment.

He should be in the General's Mansion.

But Huo Guang didn't see Brother Champion, so he felt very strange.

Only then did Huo Zhongru say: "I offended Your Majesty for my father, your elder brother pleaded for me, and was summoned into the house alone by His Majesty. General Wei Qing was also in that room."

Hear this.

Huo Guang frowned, then asked again: "Father, did you really insult His Majesty? Just because you saw through His Majesty pretending to be Pingyang Hou, you scolded His Majesty? It's really not like your temper!"

The stain in Huo Zhongru's life is that after having an affair with Wei Shao'er, he didn't take responsibility for the incident and ran away cowardly instead.

As a person, there is also a little glib.

But his personality is still good. When dealing with people and things, he will not get angry just because someone is cheating on food and drink.

Hearing his son's question, Huo Zhongru immediately sighed again, and said, "I didn't expect the other party to be His Majesty. I intended to take him to the Le Restaurant here."

Not finished.

At this moment.

The barbarian-looking son-in-law Captain Jin Rixun came out of the room and said, "Did Huo Yilang call you back?"

"I'm here!" Huo Guang said immediately.

At this moment.

Jin Rixun looked at Huo Guang, and replied: "Go in, Your Majesty wants to see you."

"Oh."

Huo Guang nodded, and after taking a look at Father Cheap, he walked into the house and met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

And beside Liu Che.

The two people standing were uncle Wei Qing and brother Huo Qubing.

The three of them stood together.

It was completely as if they were discussing the matter of war, and they didn't feel that they were criticizing Huo Zhongru's outspokenness at all.

After Huo Guang came in, he saluted His Majesty and said, "Yilang Huo Guang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Forget it, Huo Yilang, I want to talk to you about something!" Emperor Wu of the Han said expressionlessly.

in discourse.

Doesn't look like he's angry.

This made Huo Guang very strange. Why couldn't His Majesty see the meaning of asking the teacher for the crime after being insulted by Huo Zhongru?
then.

Huo Guang spoke ahead of time and said, "Your Majesty, the father of my subject Huo Guang didn't mean to offend. If he had known His Majesty's identity in advance, he would definitely not have dared to say those words."

however.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Hey, that's fine. I didn't say that I would punish your father, so don't ask everyone one by one."

"I called you."

"It's about the Yantie official camp."

Your Majesty doesn't plan to hold his cheap daddy accountable?
even!

He also suddenly asked about the Yantie official camp, which is really strange.

at this time.

What are you talking about the Yantie official camp?

Huo Guang frowned, and could only reply to what Emperor Wu of the Han said at this time: "Your Majesty, please speak. If I know, I will tell you without reservation."

As soon as the words came out.

Emperor Wu of the Han immediately said: "Of course you know, you predicted this to me the year before last."

The year before last?

What about the Yantie official camp?

Forehead.
I have predicted something about this matter, but I have no impression at all!

immediately.

Huo Guang bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty, what happened to the Yantie official camp? I was stupid for a while and couldn't remember what I said before. Please tell your Majesty clearly."

"Why can't I remember what I said." After shaking his head, Emperor Wu of the Han said, "At that time, your Le Restaurant just opened, and I discussed with you the issue of salt and iron official camps. You once listed salt with me. The disadvantages of the iron official camp."

The disadvantages of Yantie official camp?
Huo Guang looked sideways slightly. After being reminded by His Majesty, he seemed to have a little impression of this matter.

At that time.

I said how many years after the salt and iron official camp, with the increase of moths, the casting of ironware will not work in some respects.

But this should be many years later.

It shouldn't be that the Yantie official camp has only been used for two years, and this situation has appeared!

Huo Guang didn't understand, so he asked, "Why would you say that, Your Majesty? I remember that I said that the disadvantages of the Yantie official camp would only happen after ten or even twenty years. The Yantie official camp was only two years old." Time, can't it!"

however.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han snorted softly, and said rather dissatisfied: "Ten years, huh, how can it take ten or twenty years!"

"Your father told me today."

"Since the official operation of Yantie Iron, blacksmiths have no private business, and the quality of iron and agricultural tools has become worse and worse."

"It does matter, you can buy good farm tools."

"It doesn't matter, you can only buy the ones that are of poor quality."

"Even, in order to buy good farm tools, you have to use money to bribe the officials in charge of this matter."

"It's been going on for a long time, isn't this salt and iron official camp going to raise a lot of moths?"

The salt and iron official camp was a means for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to raise taxes and enrich the treasury.It is not only the capital for fighting the Huns in the coming year, but also a necessary condition for expanding the army.

among them.

Salt is fine.

The making of this iron is very important to the craftsmanship of the craftsman.

Blacksmiths can't make money by forging iron privately?People can only buy government farm tools!
Continue like this.

Without competition, how can the technology of using iron to make agricultural tools be improved?
They all work for the public.

Who hasn't embraced that every day is a day.

such.

The quality of ironware is naturally poor.

However, poor-quality agricultural tools are not good for farming, and the common people have no choice but to pursue high-quality ironware in order to produce, which makes the price of government-run ironware rise.

of course.

The disadvantages of the Yantie official camp are far more than this.

These are only the phenomena that can be seen on the surface.

But no matter what.

According to Huo Guang's original assumption, it will be at least ten years before this kind of problem is exposed.Then imagine, this kind of situation has happened in two years.

and so.

Ten years or even 20 years later, problems will emerge.

That is probably equivalent to seeing cockroaches traveling during the day, and the invisible corners are already full of cockroaches.

After Huo Guang pondered for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, I think that the blacksmiths should be given the additional right to open blacksmith shops to forge iron and make agricultural tools. Only with competition can there be promotion."

however.

As soon as the words come out.

He was strongly opposed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying: "What nonsense, if you give them the power to cast iron privately, is it still called an official camp?"

"In my opinion."

"It's better to give the raw iron to those blacksmiths to make farm tools. After they are finished, the imperial court will send people to take them back, distribute and sell them."

After listening to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang frowned slightly.

The so-called forging the raw iron to the blacksmith, and then taking back the finished farm tools.

this process.

Isn't it the same as making salt?

The official way of salt is to let the common people cook it, and after the salt is obtained, the imperial court collects, distributes and sells it.

Salt making is different from blacksmithing.

Casting iron farm tools requires the skills of a blacksmith.

To make salt, you only need to master the process.

Obviously, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had strong political and military capabilities, but his ability to govern the country's economy and people's livelihood was really poor.

then.

After careful consideration, Huo Guang said, "Your Majesty, what you said is very good. But I think that blacksmiths should be given some benefits in an appropriate amount to make them competitive. Only with competition can the quality be improved. .”

"Good weapons drive out bad weapons."

"Instead of bad weapons driving good ones."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't understand this truth.But as an emperor, is he thinking about this?
The government-run policy of salt and iron was originally designed to increase national tax revenue.

and so.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, really cared about the taxation of the Yantie official camp.

No matter how good Huo Guang's suggestion was, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che shook his head and said, "No, half of the court's money comes from the Yantie official camp."

"If you move this."

"In the future, where will I get money to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry who go south every year to plunder my people!"

The so-called money can turn ghosts.

Even the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sometimes worried about money.

The last sentence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also made Huo Guang understand the reason for Liu Che's entanglement.

Immediately!

Huo Guang then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty calm down, I don't stand high, so naturally I can't see you as far away."

"but."

"In terms of getting money, I have a clever plan. I don't know your Majesty, but I would like to hear about it."

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looked at Huo Guang sideways and asked curiously, "Do you want to talk about running restaurants, making paper, or the jewelry and clothes shops you opened privately?"

"Humph."

"Let me tell you, that's all, it's not as good as the Yantie official camp."

Less than a cent?

wrong.

What Huo Guang has done, if he really spreads it out, his after-tax income will definitely not be low.It's just that it takes time and cost to promote it all over the country, and the effect is very slow.

The Yantie official camp is different.

This is what the people need, and if it is done, you can get money.

only.

At this moment, Huo Guang didn't mean this, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is not the above, but to use money to make money."

"To put it simply, it is to set up a money bank."

"Sang Hongyang told me about this matter. If your Majesty doesn't understand anything, you can call Sang Danong to come here to ask."
