Father Han Gaozu

"Why is there no good news yet?"

"Could it be that Sunga was killed by the teacher?"

Liu Chang paced back and forth in the Hall of Houde with a worried look on his face. At the moment, it was Zhang Buyi who was with the emperor. Lu Lu was busy with the affairs of the bank, and the other ministers also had their own busy jobs. Zhang Buyi, because Prime Minister Zhang took too much power, so only seven, six, eight and three months of the year are the busiest. In the rest of the time, he can be regarded as having nothing to do, and he can flatter the emperor with peace of mind.

With such a unique job feature, everyone couldn't help jokingly calling him the Prime Minister of March, which means that he is only like a Prime Minister for three months a year.

This is the seventh time that Liu Chang has asked. As an impatient person, Liu Chang is always eager to see the results. The two sides have just met in Xiting Kingdom, and Liu Chang can't help but want to know the details. matters to be discussed.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Is there any reason why His Majesty's blessings are overwhelming?"

Zhang Buyi bent over and stood beside Liu Chang with a smile.

Just this appearance, even if he doesn't say a word, it is a model of a courtier through the ages.

"Feng Jing, old dog, I promoted him to serve as the poisonous minister, but he is so negligent! We talked for a month, and he never wrote back to me!"

Liu Chang sat back in his seat angrily, and Zhang Buji hurried forward, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry, Feng Jing doesn't know how to flatter you, he doesn't appreciate your majesty's kindness, and neglects government affairs, but there is still a place where he is still useful, your majesty can wait." He will be punished after he completes his mission!"

"Ah."

Liu Chang nodded approvingly, then suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked: "By the way, why did the matter of the people who migrated disappear? I asked you to bring it up in the court meeting, but you didn't mention it or make arrangements. Could it be that you also want to neglect my order?!"

Zhang Buyi turned pale with shock, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, I am guilty! Please punish me severely!"

"Stop talking nonsense, talk about the current situation!"

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with Chao Cuo about the general plan, and I am going to implement it directly without going through the court meeting. In addition, His Royal Highness is going to intervene and lead this matter, and I have already agreed..."

"Well, I see."

Liu Chang couldn't help yawning, and seeing that His Majesty was sleepy, Zhang Buyi naturally hurried forward and helped His Majesty to the bed. When Liu Chang lay down to rest, he held a fan and personally served by the left and right.

"Hahaha, everyone! Please sit down!"

Inside the Wuding Building, Lu Lu summoned those big merchants again, with smiles still on their faces, but every merchant felt apprehensive. After all, if Lu Lu invited them here, there must be nothing good.

They take merchants as their job, and the title is just for the convenience of collecting money, but Lu Lu is different. He takes official position as his essence, and collecting money is only for state affairs. He has to earn money to support a big man. Every time His Majesty happily asked Lu Jinshi to reward others with a hundred gold, instead of asking Lu Lu to take a hundred gold from the treasury as a gift, he asked him to pay for it himself.

If you don't work hard to earn money, you won't even be able to get the reward money

Lu Lu felt that in the future, the position of the emperor's number one valet would definitely become an official position that people hated. If anyone became this official, there would be black smoke from the ancestral grave, and he would directly become the emperor's private pocket. His Majesty is often proud Yangyang said that he is a frugal person, and the consumption of the inner gang is less than [-] yuan throughout the year. Every time Lu Lu heard His Majesty say this, he just shook his head constantly.

You have been using my money all the time, and the inside gang didn't spend it at all. Can you not be frugal? Your Majesty is very good at being generous to others.

Because the matter of the bank might be helpful to the Shihuo Mansion, the Shihuo Mansion specially sent officials to help, in fact, to help Lu Lu speak, and this official who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Liu An just didn't doubt it.

Zhibuyi was first used by Zhang Cang, then he came to Shihuo Mansion, and then he was loved by Liu An. He is generous and has the style of an elder. The impressions of merchants here are actually very good.

After everyone arrived, they looked around subconsciously, and after confirming that the emperor did not follow this time, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"After completion, we have business in various places, and you always call us here, it's really a bit inappropriate.
If there is something wrong, you can write to tell me, why do you have to tell me in person?"

Lu Lu said displeasedly: "Don't blame me, I have something good to tell you."

The merchants looked at him suspiciously, would you take the initiative to tell us something good?
Lu Lu cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to set up money houses in various places. First of all, you give me all the money you earn..."

Before Lu Lu finished speaking, the big merchants almost jumped up. Are you speaking human words??
The irritable one couldn't help shouting at this moment: "Mr. Jiancheng, we dare not fail to complete your orders on weekdays. This is because we all respect you and are willing to serve your Majesty, but you are a little What's the difference between you and a thief?"

"Listen to me, my bank is set up in major cities. You can deposit money and then withdraw money in other places. Think about it, you want to take the team to South Vietnam to buy local wood. How much money do you have to carry, there are various dangers on the road, you may sink a ship, you may encounter thieves, and the consumption of the road is quite huge, if you can collect it in a different place, how much time and trouble will it save you?"

"Of course, there is a certain fee for depositing and withdrawing, but the fee is very low, basically lower than your loss on the road. In addition, our bank will also provide loan business, which is different from private lending. I The bank, as long as it passes the review, you can borrow as much as you want!"

As Lu Lu spoke, he looked at the people in front of him.

"With my own strength, it is still a bit tricky to make such a large scale. If anyone is willing to start a bank with me, I welcome it very much. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. If you can patronize my bank business, I appreciate it too."

Lu Lu was still talking, but the merchants lowered their heads and began to think.Zhi Buyi, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this appropriate time.

"The reputation of Jian Jianhou is still trustworthy. Our Shihuofu is also very supportive of this matter. Nowadays, commercial activities are frequent, and in some large-scale transactions, it has become very difficult to carry currency. According to the Chinese law, carry A large amount of money has to be passed through the customs, and a certain amount of taxes must be paid. If it can be deposited and withdrawn in a different place, it will not only benefit the current market, but also the kings... and the temple has never stopped such behavior."

"If you want to open a small bank to test the waters, you can also apply to Shihuo Fu... There are only five people, and the number of places is limited."

Zhibuyi spoke slowly, his voice was very soft, with a strong affinity, his eyes swept over the big merchants in front of him one by one, none of them were left behind, matching his sunny and upright face, it was It is more convincing than Lulu, a female businessman.

Lu Lu was a little disappointed. He thought that these merchants would agree excitedly when he opened his mouth like this, but now he was a little cold. He picked up the wine cap and took a sip, "Everyone, I am waiting for you!" answer."

"Hou Jiancheng, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we need to discuss this matter seriously..." Several people replied with smiles.

And the smile on Lu Lu's face gradually disappeared, he looked at everyone coldly, and then showed a rather rash smile, "Yes, I need an answer in three days, gentlemen, put on a It is impossible to make a lot of money in Chang'an if you want to earn a lot of titles. Sometimes, you must know why you can still earn money and why you can still live... Don't lose the big because of small things. "

Lu Lu drank the wine in his hand and put it heavily on the table.The merchants bowed their heads and said nothing.

Lu Lu waved his hand, "No doubt, see off the guests."

Soon, Zhibuyi sent all these people outside the door, sent them away with great etiquette, and then he went back upstairs and sat beside Lu Lu, "Don't you dare to scare them, Mr. Lu?" "

"Oh, threats?"

Lu Lu cast a glance and said without doubt, "You will know in three days."

"Father Zhong!
"Just lend it to me! I'll send it back to you later!!"

Zhou Sheng grabbed Zhou Yafu's hand tightly, begging constantly.

Zhou Yafu's face was as indifferent as ever, he just shook his head, "Was the chariot
Can I lend it to you? No.

After going through a long war, Zhou Yafu rarely ushered in a long vacation. However, Zhou Yafu was never married, and even during the vacation, he was still alone. Except for a group of sages, few people looked for him. The sages are not just their first-generation sages, but also the second-generation sages. As the core role in the second-generation sages, Zhou Sheng almost sticks to his father.

He really wants to borrow Zhongfu's blood-stained chariot. The blood on the chariot can't be washed off with water, unless it is completely refurbished. It is big, and there are dangerous blades on both sides. In the eyes of children, this chariot is simply too beautiful. If you can get on the chariot and go around the city, it will be so majestic.

However, Zhou Yafu felt that this chariot was too dangerous, and if he lent it to Youzi, he would definitely cause disaster. "Father Zhong, what do I need to do before you lend me the chariot?"

"I promise not to cause trouble, I swear in the name of father!" "If I cause trouble, let father..."

Zhou Yafu looked at him sharply, and Zhou Sheng couldn't say the next thing, he just smirked, "Father Zhong, I'll borrow your chariot to sharpen it, and I can follow you on the battlefield in the future, give it to our Zhou family Take another title! You have a bright face, don’t you want to see me have a future? Don’t you want me to inherit the glory of the Zhou family? Lend me the chariot!!”

Looking at Youzi's expression of "I hope you don't know what is good or bad", Zhou Yafu still shook his head firmly, "No."

Zhou Sheng was very frustrated, and sat directly in front of Zhong's father, muttering without saying a word.

Zhou Yafu didn't know what he thought of, and asked, "Are you currently studying at Taixue?"

Zhou Sheng seemed to have lost his soul, he sat paralyzed in front of Zhou Yafu, and said weakly: "Yes~~~"

Because Zhou Shengzhi got married the first time, his son is also the oldest among the second generation of sages, and now he is studying in Taixue, and the rest of them have not been to Taixue, Zhou Yafu asked: "Does your Taixue teach the art of war? "

"There are daily drills, and then we will read some art of war or something..."

"Which teacher told you to study the Art of War?"

"I don't remember, it's from the Huang-Lao school.

Zhou Yafu frowned immediately, he hesitated for a moment, stood up, lowered his head, looked at Zhou Sheng who had lost his soul, "Do you want to get on the chariot with me?"

"what???"

Zhou Sheng raised his head abruptly, his eyes lit up.

Zhou Yafu is frugal and doesn't care much about property. He always wears strong and sharp clothes when he goes out. When he travels, he must ride a chariot or horse, which gives people a very sharp feeling. He got on the chariot, and Zhou Sheng stood aside excitedly. , as the left side of the car, he was so happy, he was yelling all the way, walking on the street with Zhongfu, it was different, wherever he went, there were awe-inspiring eyes. The soldiers who stopped him hurriedly paid their respects at this moment.

Zhong's father just kept a straight face, as if he couldn't see them. The young Zhou Sheng looked at Zhong's father with longing in his eyes. This is a real man!He really hoped that the chariot would not stop and keep driving like this. However, when he reached the destination, Zhongfu still drove him off. What surprised Zhou Sheng was that Zhongfu's destination was actually Too learned!

Does the Taixue who teaches scholars have anything to do with the murderous father Zhong??
Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes, and said with a hasty smile, "Father Zhong, you may not be familiar with it, I will personally guide you."

"No need."

Zhou Yafu directly ordered the soldiers to go in and report to the officials of Taixue, saying that General Zhou Yafu had come to see him.

That's right, today's Zhou Yafu, by virtue of defeating the Xiongnu and opening up roads, was promoted to the position of General Chariot and Cavalry. This is something that others can't imagine. It can be predicted that sooner or later this guy will be able to take the position of the great general of the Han Dynasty.

It can be seen that his title has a slight influence in Chang'an. He just sent out soldiers, and not long after, Fu Qiubo led many Taixue sacrificial wines to come out to greet him in a hurry. Fu Qiubo Even at this age, Zhou Yafu hurriedly stopped him and bowed to him

He also met with the rest of the people, and then followed them into Taixue swaggeringly.

Zhou Sheng hurriedly called his classmates and asked him to help them call a few people.

At this moment, Zhou Yafu was wandering around in the Taixue as a distinguished guest. As a Da Chehou, a big man with chariots and cavalry generals, those mighty sacrificial wines on weekdays were just smiling all over their faces at this moment, not concealing their innocence at all. In awe, only Fu Qiubo stood beside Zhou Yafu, accompanied him to visit Taixue, and told many things in Taixue.

"This is the North Campus, where the students rest. Our Tai students have all passed strict assessments, and most of them come from other places, so we have to arrange their daily life. Look, there are restaurants here, and the students occasionally bring alcohol. Come in and drink, I never stop..."

"This is the school, where classes are held. You see, these are the rooms of different teachers. Students can choose a teacher at will, and then go to his class. They can also learn from the teacher and delve into more advanced knowledge."

Taixue has always had two lines. The first line is to be an official, and the second line is academic research. Usually, those with poor grades will become officials, while those with strong learning ability will become everyone, even if they are in office. If you perform very well in the route of official, if you stay and study for a long time, you will get the opportunity to go directly to the Jiuqing Mansion as a subordinate official. In a sense, you can be regarded as everyone.

Zhou Yafu nodded and asked, "I heard that you have a lesson on the art of war, can I listen to it?"

Fu Qiubo has always been unsure why Zhou Yafu came to Taixue suddenly. After all, the two sides did not have any communication, but they still greeted them with the highest standard. Under the circumstances, the big man still respects martial arts. As a literati, if he does not know how to fight, he will definitely be looked down upon. This is why there are many stories of throwing pens into the army. In this era, if you say that these people are vulgar warriors, openly express If you disdain yourself, the end may be miserable.

But when Zhou Yafu opened his mouth like this, Fuqiu Bo probably knew in his heart, could it be that he came here for Taixue's Art of War class?
Fu Qiubo inquired for a while, and then took Zhou Yafu to the teacher who taught the Art of War. Perhaps because of Zhou Yafu's sudden appearance, the teacher became a little excited, and his words began to tremble, and his teaching, But it is just analyzing the books on the art of war and telling the contents of the books to the students. After all, this is not even a teaching.

Fu Qiubo was a little embarrassed, and when Zhou Yafu heard it, he said with some embarrassment: "The art of war is not the main course after all..."

"It's okay, he has already explained it very hard, it is not easy."

Zhou Yafu didn't mean to criticize, and immediately, Fu Qiubo led him to his study, and Zhou Yafu sat on the top seat as he should. He originally wanted Fu Qiubo to sit on the top seat, but Fu Qiubo refused, saying no. In line with etiquette.

"I can see that Taixue mainly cultivates top talents in various fields. For example, in your medicine, the lecturers are all masters, and most of the lecturers aim to become medical masters. They may become miracle doctors in the future. The same is true for the treatment of many diseases, and the same is true for agronomy, which is very thorough and clear, and even I can't understand it."

"However, I think it's time to set up another school."

"Your medical science can teach a master in ten years. However, there is a serious shortage of medical officials in the world. If you set up a school to gather people who want to practice medicine from all over the world, it doesn't talk about the truth of diseases. Informing them of the rescue methods for basic diseases, and sending them to the place after passing the assessment will solve the problem of the shortage of medical officers in the shortest possible time."

"Set up a school of the art of war, gather those meritorious soldiers, and tell them the simple art of war, the solutions to different problems, and the requirements for themselves, and the big man will quickly get an army with extremely high combat effectiveness."

"Engineering and agronomy are both the same principle. They are fast-tracked and can't be masters. They don't understand knowledge, but they are very useful."
