Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 45 Sang Hongyang’s Trap
Could it be...that this was arranged in advance?
After all, Emperor Liu Che took back salt and iron to the state probably from the third year of Yuanshou... If I count, there are still seven years in the original history... Hehe!
God knows how much Zhuo Wenjun paid to get a new iron-making furnace from Sang Hongyang, as well as the salt purification method invented by Li Huan.

The salt springs in the land of Bashu are like the salt on the seaside. You can get salt by directly drying the water. But obviously, there should be many ores that can be used to purify salt using Li Huan's method...

I don’t know that this little girl in front of me knows that in seven years, Salt and Iron will be state-owned, but she has paid an unimaginable price in exchange for these things... How will she feel in her heart?

Thinking of this, Li Huan smiled slightly and put down the order from Sang Hongyang, the great farmer. You have benefited, but you haven't given any to me!
Feelings, is this what makes me, the lion, ask Zhuo Wenjun?

I think it should be like this.

If you let him stay with you for one night...

"The new iron-making furnace and salt purification technology that the Great Farmer Order asked you to come here to see are not a problem. The question is, why should I give it to you for free?"

Zhuo Wenjun had expected it, and bowed slightly: "The prince has just established himself, but there is always a need to buy property. The Zhuo family has good experience in this area, and can even directly cede the shops in Chang'an City for the prince's needs. ."

"As for the income from salt mining and iron smelting, the Zhuo family is even willing to donate [-]% to the prince."

"Twenty percent..." Li Huan sneered, looking extremely disdainful.

Zhuo Wenjun immediately said: "If you feel that it is missing, how about [-]%?"

"Tell me, why do I need so much money?" Li Huan asked Zhuo Wenjun like an idiot.

When Zhuo Wenjun heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and the corners of Huo Qubing's mouth turned up, looking very happy.He just can't stand the way these rich people act like I have nothing but money, but because of his current situation, he can't deal with these rich people.

However, Li Huan's words made him very happy.

"The Lord is joking. The Zhuo family came here with sincerity and there is absolutely nothing presumptuous about it."

"We'll talk about the Zhuo family later. I'm more curious about how Li Gan got together with you?"

Zhuo Wenjun hesitated for a moment and glanced at Li Gan who was kneeling in front of Li Huan: "I have always respected heroes. After Li Gan burned down the mansion, he had nowhere to escape. I happened to meet him..."

"It's quite unexpected." Li Huan responded casually: "Think about what I want, then come and talk to me, and go and see the guests off!"

Zhuo Wenjun's charming face changed color: "Your Majesty, are you not willing to give me a chance?"

"No." Li Huan simply said ruthlessly.

"In three breaths, if you don't get down, I will throw you down from here." Huo Qubing was equally direct.

Zhuo Wenjun gritted his teeth, stood up helplessly, and quickly walked off the platform.

Looking at his retreating back, both Li Huan and Huo Qubing couldn't help laughing, they were so happy.

"Li Gan, I will give you a task." Li Huan did not say whether he chose to believe Li Gan, but when Li Gan heard this, he was already moved to tears.

"Didn't you say that this person has never seen the world? I have already given him [-]% of the profit, but he is so indifferent and even wants to humiliate me? Is it because the reputation of my Zhuo family is not great?"

Zhuo Wenjun was a little angry, sitting in the carriage, complaining angrily.

The maid next to her lowered her head and allowed Zhuo Wenjun to scold her. After a while, Zhuo Wenjun lost his temper, suddenly thought of something, and immediately shouted: "Turn around, let's go visit Anyang Hou's concubine!"

The little maid next to her was a little worried, as if she had thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Miss, don't we still want to ask Marquis Anyang to treat my uncle?"

"Treating my uncle?" As if he thought of something, Zhuo Wenjun's beautiful eyes flashed with disgust, and then he said helplessly: "Anyang Marquis didn't give us a chance to speak at all, how can we ask him to treat my uncle?" "Miss, we have to try. Without the help of our ancestors, we might not have a chance to get this order from Da Nong Ling. At the moment, we just haven't found anything that satisfies Marquis Anyang."

"Is my idea wrong?" Zhuo Wenjun pondered, his face became more and more attractive, and his career line was also extremely prominent.

"On the first day of the new year, what do you think a person like Anyang Hou wants?"

"How could I know, little maid?" The little maid called Chu Yi murmured with a cute look: "Anyang Marquis has now become my favorite minister, and the reward given to him by His Majesty is already endless wealth and even a kingdom. In his hand, the [-]% of the income given by the young lady really cannot attract his attention, could it be..."

"Could it be something?" Zhuo Wenjun's beautiful eyes also lit up. The little maid next to him had a lot of strange ideas.

Chu Daodao said: "I heard that Marquis Anyang is an extremely knowledgeable person. Since ancient times, most knowledgeable people have looked down upon money. How about buying the treasures left by ancient sages and giving them to Marquis Anyang, maybe to impress him?" "

"The treasures left by ancient sages..." Zhuo Wenjun felt a little helpless, "This cannot be obtained in a short time. It is better to ask for the concubine of Anyang Hou."

Chuyi stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"That bitch is back again." Huo Qubing took an order letter and stepped onto the high platform with a frown: "She found Cuihua."

Li Huan re-outlined the cement workshop, this time with a clear mind and completed it in one go.

He asked: "It doesn't matter, let people keep an eye on her. If her followers dare to peek into places like paper mills and iron furnaces, they will kill everyone immediately, leaving no one behind."

A slight smile appeared on Huo Qubing's face: "I have already given the order."

"Sang Hongyang is not a member of the old nobility." Li Huan was a little confused, "But the things he did are pushing me towards the old nobility."

One person is granted the title of Marquis, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

For a prince's palace to function, of course it cannot survive just by relying on the salary and official land given by the emperor.

It also needs to engage in many industries to ensure the operation of the Hou Mansion. This naturally leads to the formation of a group called a clan.

What Emperor Liu Che hates the most is not only that the old nobles like to send their girls to the Huns for marriage, but also that these people use the convenience of their status to control the most profitable business in the entire empire. industry.

It is a very terrible thing for an emperor to have no money; so in history, Liu Che, in addition to the favor order, used the excuse that the money donated by the princes and kings to the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty was not of good quality and was not enough, and deprived the princes of one hundred titles at a time. Zero and six people, abolished their feudal states and established counties and counties.

While consolidating the rule of the Han Empire, it also allowed the Han Empire to obtain a large amount of economic income.

However, the current emperor Liu Che has not yet reached the point in history where he thought about money and went crazy.

Huo Qubing raised the document in his hand: "I can't answer this question for you, but it can."

After Li Huan took it in his hand and looked at it for a few times, his expression was a little stunned: "The Queen wants to see me?"

"Not only the Queen, but also my aunt and uncle, including Queen Chen's Changqiu." The expression on Huo Qubing's face became wonderful: "My aunt's Changqiu is already waiting for you over there."

　Zhuo Wenjun thought about it carefully and asked in surprise: "Do you want the slave's body?"

　　Li Huanyi spoke sternly: "I am a prince of the Han Dynasty. I want recommendation votes, monthly votes, and rewards!"
