my brother champion

Chapter 22

Pu Tianyun glanced at Huo Guang, and became a little angry at his questioning.

He said dignifiedly: "Nonsense, I have always promised money, do you think I am a person who can tell lies?"

Huo Guang stroked his chin and said slowly, "It's hard to say."

"You bastard!" Pu Tian was furious and stared at Huo Guang.

Because in other people's territory, Huo Guang can't be too presumptuous.In addition, because of the money he said, he had no choice but to laugh and say: "Haha, uncle, don't be angry, then I will analyze and analyze."

no way.

Huo Guang is really short of money now!

The "industrial park" on the east side of the city is still in its infancy.

Even the enclosed land is only on credit, and there is no balance with the officials who buy and sell the land.

But there is no rush!
With Mrs. Wei's status as Marquis of Yichun, presumably the other party would not dare to ask for money directly.

Well, the problem is coming.

Where did all his money go?To put it bluntly, he took it to pay his wages.

In order to quickly recruit workers to work, he offered a high salary of [-] yuan per person per day, and promised to pay every day.The salary is neither high nor low.

But recruit more workers!
That pays more.

One day for ten people is one thousand, and one month is thirty thousand.Huo Guang has already recruited more than 20 farmers to come over to help, and the little tax collected by Mrs. Wei may last for less than half a month.

"Let me think about it, Yantie Guanying." Huo Guang rubbed his brows and said, "This thing is good for the country's finances, and the benefits don't affect the working people. At most, it just deprives you of the interests of the aristocratic families. "

Done.

Huo Guang also looked up at Pu Tian.

Seeing that he was sitting in the upper position without speaking, Huo Guang went on to say: "Uncle, it is best not to confront the imperial court. Confronting the imperial court will not end well. Now that the reform of the Yantie official camp has come down, then Abandon this source of income."

"Taking advantage of this time, hurry up and find another way of making money!"

"For example, make some war money. I guess, our Han Dynasty should fight the Huns again in the past two years. You can hoard more things related to this."

In two years, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu will fight again?

Upon hearing this.

Pu Tian's eyes suddenly became sharp, looked at Huo Guang, and asked, "How do you know that I am going to fight the Huns? Was it Wei Qing or Huo Huoqi who told you?"

"You still need them to tell you? You can guess it, okay!" Huo Guang couldn't help curling his lips.

National affairs.

Even Wei Qing or Brother Champion didn't dare to tell Huo Guang in private.

But Pu Tian didn't believe it, he frowned and asked, "How do you guess?"

Huo Guang spread his hands and said, "Look at the newly built horse farm in the east of the city. Even Chang'an has started to build a horse farm. It's not for the cavalry battle with the Huns, but why!"

"Only based on this?" Pu Tian was a little unconvinced.

"Of course it's more than that!" Huo Guang raised his head and said, "You think, the national government salt and iron operation is for finance, right? Then what is the purpose of innovating farm tools? Isn't it just for food."

"Food administration, finance, and horse administration are being carried out at the same time. If it is not for war, then I really can't think of what else it is for!"

Huo Guang's sayings are so smooth and smooth, which makes Pu Tian believe it a little bit.

nodded.

But then there was silence again, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Pu Tian looked up at Huo Guang and asked, "Then what do you think of the imperial government's policy of salt and iron official camps? I heard that many ministers are against this reform!"

Against this reform?

Very normal!
But any reform will have its opponents.

But the question is, how did he know about the court affairs?Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but take a deep look at Pu Tian.

This uncle, can't he be a high official in the court?
Ah!
Probably.

After all, he said that General Wei and Huo Qubing were both his good friends, so besides those who were officials in the same dynasty, who else could be qualified?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang's answer also became more cautious, saying: "That must be good. The Yantie official run can not only increase the country's fiscal revenue, restrain the influence of merchants, but also improve and promote advanced technology."

"As long as it doesn't exceed 20 years!"

"Not more than 20 years?" Pu Tian frowned and asked, "Why not?"

Huo Guang said lightly: "Because moths will breed!"

"It's a corrupt official!"

"Everyone knows that there is a lot of oil and water here, and everyone wants to come in to make money. Over time, the quality of the ironware produced will be inferior, do not meet the specifications, and the price will even be inflated!"

Pu Tian's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "I really didn't think of that. Well, let's go back to the previous one, what do you mean by making war money?"

"Don't you know it's so simple?" Huo Guang grinned, couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I really don't know how you are the Patriarch."

The voice did not fall.

The guard standing beside him, that is, the man who brought Huo Guang earlier, suddenly yelled at him: "Shut up, you naughty boy, how dare you disrespect my Patriarch!"

ha?
Isn't disrespect what your Patriarch told me to say!
Huo Guang looked helpless.

But Pu Tian said at this time: "Back off, let him talk!"

"promise!"

When the guard heard the Patriarch's words, he had to step aside.

Pu Tian said, "Huo Guang, keep talking!"

After Huo Guang coughed, he continued: "Ahem, it's very simple. The country controls the salt and iron, but it didn't say that you can't buy food? The country collects food, and you also store food. There is less food outside. Won't it rise up?"

"If there is still a war, casualties are unavoidable."

"What medicine stones, leather, cloth, grass, etc., as long as you don't have a conscience, it's really too easy to get rich."

While talking, Huo Guang found out.

This Pu Tian's complexion was not right, and he was obviously prone to rage, and immediately, he stopped talking.

After a while.

Pu Tian seemed to have calmed down, and then said: "Okay, send him back."

what?

He just said to send Huo Guang back, good guy, after spending so much time talking, he actually got rid of him with just one sentence.

How could Huo Guang bear it, and immediately said: "What about the money you promised?"

"No!" Pu Tian directly refused.

This made Huo Guang very speechless, and immediately said: "Didn't you say that you promise everything?"

"Yes, but what you said is what I don't like to hear!" Pu Tian replied.

Good guy.

Don't like hearing that?That's my fault.

Huo Guang then said: "Uncle, as a human being, you must keep your word. Aren't you knights the most loyal in the world? I'll analyze it for you. Isn't it reasonable for you not to give money?"

"Need money? Go find your brother Huo Huoqi!" Pu Tian sneered and said, "He is a prince of ten thousand households and has a lot of places to eat, so he shouldn't be short of money!"

"Hey, don't mention it, I'm avoiding my brother now!" Huo Guang sighed.

hiding?

Why did this kid hide from Hussar General Huo Qubing?
Pu Tian couldn't help being curious about this, and asked, "Isn't Champion Hou your elder brother? Why do you hide?"

Why?

Mr. Dong peeked at his granddaughter when he was teaching and resolving doubts, and even made her angry!
But Huo Guang is also a person who cares about face, so naturally he wouldn't say that, so he modified himself a little, and said: "It's nothing, but he sent me to study with old master Dong Zhongshu. As for me, meet Dong Gong It’s too late, but because of some different ideas, we had a dispute.”

"Elder Dong is old after all."

"He saw that he couldn't win me in the quarrel, so he kicked me out."
