The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 405: The Emperor's Life is Careful and Thrifty, Liu Huangshu Brings His Bag to See the Emperor

Luo Yuan quickly told him about Liu Bei.

Liu Xie was not interested at all: "Liu Bei wants to see me just to use me. I don't care about the power struggle among the princes. Wouldn't it delay my making money if I meet him? I have already negotiated with some merchants. If they give me more gold, I can wear their things every day. It will start tomorrow."

I’ve entered the active sales mode so quickly.

"Liu Bei is willing to give two thousand gold."

Luo Yuan and Kong Ming wanted three thousand, so of course I had to steal one thousand for myself.

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then he immediately laughed: "If that's the case, I still have some free time tomorrow, so let's meet the emperor's uncle during dinner. It won't waste time while we eat."

Really smart.

Of course Luo Yuan agreed.

You will get rich sooner or later if you do this.

Seeing that Luo Yuan was about to follow him into the inn, Liu Xie turned around and looked at Luo Yuan: "Gong Qi, do you have anything else to say?"

It's time for dinner now. If Luo Yuan comes, I have to entertain him.

But entertaining Luo Yuan means having one more person to eat and one more expense.

'

Although I earn a lot, I have no obligation to entertain Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan blinked his eyes: "Your Majesty, won't you treat me to a cup of tea?"

"No need for that. Jiangling tea is expensive and I only have a little bit, not enough to entertain guests." Liu Xie waved his hand: "If it's something that doesn't make money, don't tell me about it in the future. I'm not interested. My time is limited. I should build a big palace for my descendants, so as not to lose the face of the Han royal family."

Do you really need to?

Not even a cup of tea.

Luo Yuan's face twitched. You are really too thrifty.

Empress Fu looked at Luo Yuan with a scowl and rubbed her waist, feeling helpless.

"You should go back, my Lord. My family only has some leftovers from lunch and hot water for dinner, which is not enough to entertain guests."

Luo Yuan was shocked and looked at Liu Xie in amazement, "Your Majesty, you are too frugal!"

"Now, the food I eat, the water I drink, and the expenses of my servants are all earned by me. They have nothing to do with you. Do you want to ask how I spend money?"

"..."

You are awesome!

Luo Yuan nodded speechlessly. This change was too great. If you earn your own money and spend it yourself, you will feel confident, right?

In that case, what's the point of talking?

Luo Yuan bowed and turned away.

However, when Pang Tong learned about this, he was very opposed to it: "Liu Bei must want to persuade the emperor to go with him. Why should the lord let them meet?"

"The emperor will not leave."

"What if."

Luo Yuan smiled. Seeing that Liu Xie was so obsessed with making money, there was no way he could leave.

Only Jiangling could allow him to earn money to build the imperial palace; no other place could do that. And only Jiangling could protect Liu Xie's current wealth.

Luo Yuan calculated that Liu Xie had earned about 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins during this period. This was a huge fortune. He was now richer than his father was when he was the emperor. This amount of money was equivalent to several billion five-zhu coins if calculated as copper coins, and was worth 300,000 gold coins if calculated as Jiangling gold coins.

If you have money, you need a place to spend it. Is there a more suitable place than Jiangling?
Although Liu Xie was the emperor, he had nothing that belonged to him; everything belonged to Cao Cao.

His life even belonged to Cao Cao.

But now it’s different. He is rich and a property owner. His huge wealth can keep Liu Xie in Jiangling.

Liu Bei didn't understand at all.

Liu Xie was not unaware that the Han Dynasty was doomed. It was precisely because he knew that when he had the opportunity to take control of his own life, the first thing he thought about was ensuring the well-being of his wife and children.

Like ordinary people, being a good husband and earning money to support his family is an achievement he could not feel when he was emperor.

When a man can make money and support his family with his own abilities, the sense of accomplishment that comes with it can make every man willing and intoxicated by it.

Nowadays, all men are working hard to maintain their families and willingly hand over their wages.

Home is the best medicine for everyone and can heal the huge trauma in the heart.

Knowing that family was more important, Liu Xie naturally didn't care about the throne.

Luo Yuan briefly told Pang Tong about his opinion, but Pang Tong didn't believe it: "A real man should make great achievements and leave his name in history."

"Shi Yuan, do you think that your Majesty will not be remembered for generations? When future generations write about this period of history, your Majesty will be the one who cannot be avoided. What are the achievements of a real man that you mentioned? Your Majesty has seen many heroes in the world since he was young. Heroes like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo are just ministers in front of your Majesty. How can your achievements surpass those of the emperor?"

"The emperor is to blame for the unrest in the world. His Majesty has been bearing the criticism and complaints of the people of the world. He wanted to carry the heavy burden, but he knew he couldn't. Now I take off this emperor's armor for him. This is a return to nature," Luo Yuan said with a smile. "What can Liu Bei say to His Majesty? It's nothing more than not forgetting the glory of his ancestors and the foundation of the Han Dynasty. But Liu Bei is not the emperor. He doesn't understand the heart of an emperor. It's lonely at the top. His Majesty has endured too much coldness and despair at the top."

"At first he thought Dong Zhuo was a minister who could save the world, but what happened? Later he thought Cao Cao was a good minister, but what happened? How can he trust the princes now?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "The great cause of the Han Dynasty and the rise and fall of the country should not be pinned on one person. Now that your majesty has both a title and a position, and has a goal in life, it is time to move in a good direction. In the future, your descendants will continue to grow, and the Liu family will still be a prestigious family in the world. Who among the noble families in the world can be more noble than the Liu family?"

"Who can compare with me in treating Your Majesty like this?"

Luo Yuan thought to himself that he was doing it with all his heart, while others were just trying to get their bodies to do it, so how could the effect be the same?

So there is no need to worry that Liu Xie will not believe Liu Bei’s lies.

Pang Tong thought about it for a while, but still shook his head, "People's minds are hard to predict. After hearing what Liu Bei said, Your Majesty might have ambitions."

In fact, Pang Tong felt that what Luo Yuan said made sense, just like Luo Yuan never told them that they had to be loyal to him or something like that.

He would not be like Cao Cao, who liked to test the intentions of his subordinates.

Luo Yuan never mentioned it, and it seemed that he didn't care who joined him or betrayed him.

But Pang Tong felt that he would never betray Luo Yuan. During his days in Jiangling, the ease and equality he experienced with Luo Yuan was something no one else could give him.

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes: "Just wait and see, there will be news soon."

The next day Liu Bei dressed up carefully and asked to see Liu Xie.

He met the emperor smoothly.

Liu Xie was preparing to have lunch, so he hurried to meet Liu Bei, took the bag from Liu Bei, and weighed it carefully.

It feels a little light, and it seems not to be gold.

Liu Xie was a little disappointed, but since Liu Bei had already given him money, it was normal not to give him a gift.

After Liu Bei sat down, he opened the bundle and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
