Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 218: Are you aware of the policy of suppressing business?
All the courtiers stood solemnly.

Waiting for the emperor to come.

Liu Che came out from behind.

He was led by his attendants to the highest position and then sat down.

"See Your Majesty!"

The courtiers below bowed down and paid homage with great salutes.

"Everyone is safe!"

Liu Che sat solemnly and spoke calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the court stood up one after another.

After everyone stood up, some people couldn't wait to stand up.

Then join in upward.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Zhang Wei turned to look at the speaker.

This person ranks among the Nine Qings.

He is the person in charge of the royal family's finances.

But why did this person appear in the court?
And the look in his eyes seemed a little unkind.

Zhang Wei squinted his eyes slightly, preparing to wait and see what would happen.

"allow!"

Liu Che looked at the young master and spoke calmly.

After getting Liu Che's signal, a different color appeared on this man's face.

He turned to look at Zhang Wei.

Then the memorial was presented.

"Reporting to your majesty, I heard something the day before yesterday. According to reports from my servants, the Zhang family is rich and wealthy. It is as rich as the country, and its merchants are spread all over the Han Dynasty!"

"It even controls the economic lifeline of Hebei, Jing and other places. This is so serious that we must guard against it."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

In addition, some court officials also stood up.

Everyone was extremely united and all wanted to make peace with Zhang Wei and the Zhang family.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Wangjing also had a hint of shock in their eyes when they heard this.

They did this very secretly, and Liu Che also knew about it.

Liu Che had never opposed the Zhang family's business before, so how could he allow others to impeach him now?

No wonder when he first arrived at the court, he found these people with strange expressions. They were waiting for him here.

Liu Che sat silently in the high hall.

He did not immediately defend the Zhang family.

Zhang Wei was not asked to clarify immediately.

He sat silently in the high hall, watching the courtiers below constantly impeaching.

It wasn't until the last courtier finished speaking that Liu Che turned his attention to Zhang Wei.

Liu Che is indeed a man of great talent and strategy.

But there is also suspicion.

Although the Zhang family helped the Han Dynasty defeat the Xiongnu, they also lost a general of the Zhang family.

The foundation of the Zhang family has dropped a lot.

But he didn't let the Zhang family decline.

The reason why he contacted the Zhang family before was because Zhang Wei did have extraordinary talents and the entire Zhang family could be used by him.

The two of them are complementary to each other.

He never had any doubts about Zhang Wei.

But today's matter really needs to give him some thought.

Money moves people's hearts.

He was not sure if Zhang Wei had other ideas as he continued to develop the Zhang family.

The previous guilt disappeared at this moment, and Liu Che looked at Zhang Wei and Zhang Wangjing with suspicion.

Above the court, Zhang Wei and Zhang Wangjing stood at the front, both of them ranked among the three nobles.

His reputation in Dahan is quite high.

"Ai Qing, do you have anything to say?" Liu Che said calmly, keeping his eyes on Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei felt a chill running down his spine when he heard Liu Che's voice.

My heart was so cold that I almost fell into an ice cellar.

Liu Che actually doubted him.

He is even still doubting the Zhang family.

He had done so many things for the big man before, and he thought he could become Liu Che's right-hand man.

Even if this person is suspicious, he will not disgrace him in front of the courtiers.

It would be much more convenient to inquire privately, and it would save him some face, but what he never expected was that Liu Che would challenge him in the court and point out his doubts.

It was indeed something he didn't expect.

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Wei walked out from the crowd, moved a step to the left, and knelt down directly in the lobby.

"Your Majesty, please give me your report!"

Liu Che looked at Zhang Wei blankly.

Wanted to see what he could say.

Zhang Wangjing was anxious beside him.

He is no longer the head of the Zhang family.

He is also not the controller of the Zhang family.

He was completely unaware of this matter.

And after he became the prime minister, he lived in another house, and he didn't get along with his brother very much.

Although I know some inside information about the Zhang family.

But what I know is not particularly perfect.

Now someone is taking advantage of me.

Zhang Wangjing was also very worried.

He looked up at Liu Che and knew that now was not the time to speak.

Once he speaks.

The spearhead may be pointed.

His elder brother finally made him the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

He must stay in this position honestly. Even if his brother is convicted for this, he must become the leader of the Han Dynasty.

Only in this way can the Zhang family be protected.

Only then can the Zhang family prosper.

Zhang Wangjing suppressed the grief in his heart and stood silently in the queue without interceding.

"Your Majesty, the Zhang Family Trading Company has been established for a long time and has a long history!"

"After years of development, the Zhang family has indeed mastered a large amount of wealth, but the Zhang family business has never grasped the economy of Hebei, Jingji and other places. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."

Liu Che set his sights on Jiuqing Shaofu again.

Jiuqing Shaofu stood up from the ground and presented the accounts he had compiled and the revenue from Jing and Hebei.

"Your Majesty, most of the revenue in these two places goes to the Zhang Family Trading Company. The Zhang Family Trading Company must have no intentions. Otherwise, why would they want to amass money and leave the people with no way to survive?"

"If everyone follows the Zhang family's example, there will be no one in the Han Dynasty to cultivate mulberry trees, and no one in the Han Dynasty will cultivate the mulberry trees, and the buildings in the Han Dynasty will collapse!"

hiss!
This is a huge crime.

Once this crime is proven, it will be impossible for Zhang Wei to shed even a layer of his skin.

Zhang Wei stands in the court hall.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Zhang Wei in front of the screen was also very angry.

These people are really the kind of people who live in a corpse position.

I knew they had such faces.

He should ask Liu Che to drive them out of the court as soon as possible.

nowadays.

They were talking nonsense in the court hall.

And bites himself.

It is nothing more than wanting the Zhang Family Trading Company to fall into the imperial court.

How can this be?

Zhangjia Trading Company was established by him after a lot of hard work.

Now it is finally possible to take root in Dahan.

How could he give it up so easily?

Looking at the young master Jiuqing next to him, Zhang Wei gritted his teeth.

Continue to manipulate Zhang Wangchuan.

Let Zhang Wangchuan continue to explain to Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I develop the business is for the sake of the country's economy."

"Your Majesty has conquered the Xiongnu many times, and the military expenditure was extremely huge. I wanted to relieve your Majesty's worries, so I let them expand wildly and make money for me."

"I can guarantee to your majesty that all the things done by the Zhang Family Trading Company are permitted by laws and regulations. There is absolutely no suspicion of misleading the common people of the Han Dynasty, or even delaying the cultivation of mulberry trees!"

"As for the revenue from Jing and Hebei, I am willing to hand over the revenue to fund military expenses."

boom!
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned.

They looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief.

This is too courageous.

Is this what he did to survive by docking his tail?
This is an industry that makes a country extremely wealthy.

They were shocked when they investigated the Zhang Family Trading Company before.

Especially the revenue from Jingzhou and Jizhou.

The revenue from these two places is comparable to Dahan's annual agricultural and commercial tax revenue.

Zhang Wei is willing to hand over all this revenue now.

How courageous is this?
Liu Che looked at Zhang Wei deeply.

He didn't say much.

Instead, he waved his hand and said: "Yes!"

During this period, he gave Zhang Wei many opportunities.

He suppressed all the memorials someone had given him before.

He gave Zhang Wei time to reflect and an opportunity to fill in the gaps.

As long as Zhang Wei comes to Weiyang Palace and makes it clear to him, he will not blame Zhang Wei, let alone confiscate his treasury money. But Zhang Wei missed the best opportunity to explain.

He never even mentioned the Zhang Family Trading Company to him.

Although he knew Zhangjia Trading Company before.

But I just thought it was some small business.

nowadays.

Only then did he realize how rich the Zhang Family Trading Company was.

Silently, he actually controls the economic lifeline of two states.

Once these two places are controlled by Zhang Wei.

He actually had the capital to rebel.

How could he not be afraid?
After the matter is resolved.

The imperial censor naturally stepped forward and proposed a series of policies to suppress business.

These regulations are naturally aimed at Zhang Wei.

But his words were very fluent.

There is no pause in between.

It looked like it had been prepared in advance.

Zhang Wangjing looked at the censor doctor fiercely.

This old man is waiting for them here.

I acted sanctimoniously before.

He thought this man was a good man.

did not expect.

This person and those people are all the same.

No one is a good person.

After the business suppression policy was proposed.

Everyone in the court fell silent.

Are they shooting themselves in the foot?

Liu Che actually stipulated the proportion of merchants for court officials.

As long as this ratio is exceeded, taxes must be paid upwards according to the share.

Moreover, the tax amount is very heavy, so there is no possibility for them to make a profit at all.

In other words.

They may later go into other industries.

I'm afraid doing business won't work.

All of a sudden.

Those who had been cut off from their financial resources looked at Zhang Wei intently.

All because of Zhang Wei.

It's all because of the Zhang family.

As long as they are more careful.

Nor would they be coerced to this extent.

it's good now.

Not only can I not engage in business.

They also have to spit out some of the money they earn.

This is just rubbing salt into their hearts.

After the meeting.

A layer of gloom filled the hall.

Zhang Wei was retained by Liu Che.

When Zhang Wangjing left the court, he was surrounded by everyone.

And someone said angrily: "Your Zhang family is really quite good."

"I did such a big thing quietly, and now it has cut off our financial resources. How should we calculate this matter?"

"You don't know how to do things cleanly, and you are caught by others. Why are you so useless?"

"..."

Zhang Wangjing was scolded to death by these people.

When I returned to the mansion, someone poured some water on me in front of the door.

It stinks to heaven.

The people in the mansion originally wanted to send someone to arrest him.

But Zhang Wangjing stopped him.

These are troubled times.

He didn't want to cause trouble.

I don’t want any complications to arise.

We can only wait for my brother to come back first, and then make long-term plans.

Someone must have planned this.

He now wants to know which bastard is behind them.

"Send someone to find out who leaked the news about Jingji and Hebei!"

"Also, let the officials from these two places check to see if any strangers have entered during this period. What is their purpose in coming to these two places?"

"Here!"

The attendant nodded and quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Zhang Wangjing watched the attendant leave, he inexplicably raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and murmured to himself: "Brother, you have done everything you need to do, you must hold on!"

……

Weiyang Palace.

Zhang Weizheng was kneeling on the floor of the hall.

Liu Che sat silently next to him.

He held a memorial in his hand.

He ignored Zhang Wei.

I do not know how long it has been.

Liu Checai put the memorial in his hand next to him.

The attendant nearby quickly put away these memorials.

"Wangchuan, do you know your guilt?"

Liu Che's voice sounded above Zhang Wei's head.

Zhang Wei's knees were already numb.

Just manipulating the character though.

But his consciousness is also immersed in the role.

He can still experience the other person's feelings.

You can also understand each other's emotions.

The pain in his body made Zhang Wei's heart feel colder and colder.

He had sworn before that he would be a pure minister, loyal to the Han Dynasty, and assist Liu Che well.

But why is the result like this?
Why do you always pick weak persimmons?
Or he is too kind.

Zhang Wei kept reflecting.

Hearing Liu Che's voice, Zhang Wei raised his head, grabbed the ground with his head, and said: "Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt."

Liu Che looked at Zhang Wei deeply and said: "Wangchuan, you are my right-hand man and the great minister of the Han Dynasty. Your words and deeds can lead all officials."

"What you did today really made it difficult for me to come to Taiwan, and it also made this man deeply poisoned."

"If outsiders learn that my right-hand man is actually a business-loving person, how can I convince the public? How can I persuade the people of Han Dynasty to cultivate mulberry trees?"

"Ai Qing did indeed do something wrong with today's actions."

Liu Che's voice had a hint of indifference.

Zhang Wei felt a chill running down his spine.

Nothing before had made Liu Che so angry. This time, he could feel that Liu Che was really angry.

"Your Majesty, this matter is due to my lack of supervision. Please give me an order and severely punish me!"

One move is missing.

Let others take hold.

He had nothing to say.

He just wants to keep some of his financial resources now.

These things are the most important capital of the Zhang family.

Absolutely not all of it should be returned to the national treasury.

If it were all returned to the treasury, all his previous plans would be in vain.

"Punishment?" Liu Che looked at Zhang Wei faintly and said, "You have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty before, and now you have to deal with the Minyue regime. How do you want me to punish you?"

"I have already made it very clear to you at the court. I will give you three days to return all your property to the treasury. I can pretend not to know and just step back!"

After Liu Che finished speaking, he waved back to Zhang Wei.

"I accept the decree!"

Zhang Wei saluted Liu Che, then dragged his weak legs and slowly left Weiyang Palace.

Looking at Zhang Wei's back, Liu Che gritted his teeth.

Turn around cruelly.

He did not punish Zhang Wei intentionally, but he must have a reason to do so.

Commerce must be restrained.

It cannot be allowed to develop.

Otherwise, everyone will follow suit.

If everyone is engaged in business, then who will cultivate the mulberry trees?

When the mulberry trees are withered, what should the people of the Han Dynasty do?
There are so many people waiting to eat, we can't let them starve to death in vain.

Zhang Wei did not do it properly this time.

Of course, the treasury is now empty.

Zhang Wei actually had so much money, and returning it to the treasury was for the sake of the Han Dynasty. It was also their mission as ministers.

After thinking clearly, Liu Che looked at the attendants beside him and ordered: "Tell this to Jiuzhou and let everyone take a warning!"

"If something like this happens again, he will be removed from his official position, Yi Tribe!"

Regarding this matter, Liu Che cracked down hard.

Suddenly, the entire Han merchants were in panic.

Afraid of harming oneself.
