The big man has a living father

Chapter 209 (Big Chapter) Three Hundred Years Plan

In fact, Liu Che was not angry when he heard what they said.

What they say is true.

If this true story caused great harm to the Han Dynasty and could not be corrected, Liu Che would not be angry but would only eliminate the person who told the truth.

But this real thing is indeed a problem at the moment.

Who are the people who can come to Huo Hai’s wedding today?

Central government officials, nobles, and senior executives of major business entities sat in the inner hall.

All the middle-level military officials in Chang'an who were neither nobles nor generals, as well as the middle-level managers of the Huo family's large number of industries, sat in the inner courtyard.

And what about the outer courtyard? The peripheral members of the Weihuo family, ordinary in-laws, small businesses with cooperation, and rising stars from all walks of life in Chang'an City.

The people who came to the Huo Mansion today can be said to be the most elite people among the millions of people in Chang'an.

What does it mean that everyone is talking about this issue?
This shows that everyone believes that the territorial expansion of the Han Dynasty is inevitable, and expansion will be the main theme of the Han Dynasty in the next ten to twenty years or even several decades.

So, according to the current system of county system and feudal system implemented in the Han Dynasty, what is the most lacking?
Is it an envoy? The sons of officials and people from Guliang School are lining up.

Are they soldiers? With the economic development of the Han Dynasty, middle-class families are expanding rapidly. There are now 400,000 registered households in Chang'an (many of which are single-person households from other places), of which 300,000 are middle-class families or above.

If you haven’t accumulated a fortune of 100,000 in these two or three years, you would be a failure!
In Chang'an alone, an army of at least 100,000 people from good families can be formed at any time.

What about the counties and prefectures? What about the coal mines? Now it's not just Tongguan, the affiliated enterprises of Tongguan coal mine are all over the country.

What about Chengdu? What about Luoyang?
It can be said that if necessary, we can now mobilize an army of 300,000 to 500,000 people, or even select 300,000 to 500,000 people from the best of the best, and not everyone who wants to go can go.

There is no shortage of generals and envoys.

So what is missing?

The guests in the outer courtyard easily found the key to the problem.

The key point is that Liu Che was too slow in giving birth to sons.

Can we not confer titles of king over those important territories that have just been conquered and will have great industries in the future?

Think about the three parts of the Xiongnu now, left, middle and right. Currently, only the central part south of the desert has been developed yet, but the annual profit is tens of billions of dollars.

If we develop this a little bit, would it be difficult to make tens of billions?

With such a high income, if there is no one of Liu family bloodline in charge, is it possible to establish counties in the entire southern part of the desert and let county officials manage it?

Then the possibility of collusion between the Xiongnu Company and county officials would greatly increase.

Therefore, at least three kings must be appointed to Mo Nan.

What should we do with Mobei? If the Sushen and Xianbei surrender completely in the next year or the year after, they also need to be split up and counties need to be established? What should we do?
This place alone used up all of Liu Che's sons.

What to do with the Western Regions?
What should the Baiyue countries do after they are taken back?
Dian Kingdom?

缅？
India?

Daxia? Rest in peace?
The main contradiction in the Han Dynasty now is the contradiction between the rapidly increasing territory and Liu Che's low efficiency in having sons.

It sounds like a joke, but in fact it is the truth of this era!

Unless the research institute can come up with a new technology that can send information from Daxia to Chang'an and back within three days, the royal family must go to these places to take charge.

They were not sent there before because the places south of the Western Regions and the desert were completely barren in the eyes of the Han people.

But now, cotton planting is imminent in the Western Regions, and the goal for sheep breeding in the south of the desert is to double this year.

If this economy gets out of control, it can give rise to an economic force that can overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty in any place.

This question is also something that Liu Che should think about.

Liu Che, who was walking towards the crowd, slapped his thigh and said: It’s too early to issue the Enfeoffment Order!
Times are changing too fast, and previous good policies have suddenly become stumbling blocks!

Liu Che kept thinking about this problem, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem.

The Han Dynasty is expanding too fast now!

If there are no clan members, the future will be in trouble!

Because human ambition cannot be suppressed.

Liu Che began to look around the world many years ago. Even in the early Han Dynasty, he moved powerful people and built tombs to avoid the emergence of any major forces that were not under the control of the court.

But as business developed, this approach no longer worked.

Why? In the future, mausoleums will not be built into mountains, but directly into mountain ranges? Otherwise, how can we spend all the money if we move the powerful here?
If there are no clan members in charge of some important resource producing areas, how can we guard against rebellious forces?

What if someone invented a gun?

If you have clan power, you only need to focus on the clan members. If you don’t have clan members, you won’t know who to focus on.

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves?
Liu Che, who has been thinking about problems, needs someone to refer to.

But looking at the situation right now, it is difficult to explain this issue to anyone.

After waiting for a while, Liu Che found that everyone at the scene was organizing the ceremony, but Huo Hai was idle.

Liu Che slowly walked to Huo Hai's side.

Huo Hai was eating candy secretly and was startled.

"Ouch!"

"Your Majesty, I'm scared to death!"

Liu Che put his hands into his sleeves, looked around, and whispered, "Let's talk about something important."

Huo Hai was suspicious.

Liu Che quickly pulled Huo Hai to a place away from the crowd.

It is normal for the father-in-law to give you advice on the wedding day.

Who would have thought that at this moment, a conversation that will determine and influence the fate of the world for the next three hundred years is taking place.

Liu Che told Huo Hai what he had heard and his own thoughts.

"Now, ordinary merchants in Chang'an City have all thought about this problem. No matter how powerful they are or how smart they are, they are only worth millions or at most tens of millions. They are not real big shots."

"They all understand this problem, so how could the ministers not see this problem? It's just that due to the ferocity of guns, no one said anything."

"But that balance is always broken when someone comes up with a gun."

Since no one has invented firearms, the Han Dynasty is quite stable.

Once someone invents a gun, it's like 'God is bleeding'.

A god who bleeds is no longer a god, and in the future there will be people who will continue to try to make guns.

The subtext of making guns is rebellion.

When the time is right, it will happen naturally.

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, do you want to consider the issue of enfeoffment?"

Liu Che: "There are only two options now. Stop all expansion and digest the territory we have conquered before continuing to expand."

The Han Dynasty only had an area of ​​about 4 to 5 million square kilometers before, but now it has an area of ​​at least 1,300 square kilometers or even more. After all, there is no one in the area north of Dingling. As long as the Han Dynasty wants, it can expand its territory to 20 million square kilometers at any time.

But this proposal was immediately rejected by Huo Hai.

"Scientific and technological development is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. The same is true for land expansion. If our development continues to slow down the speed of scientific dissemination, then before the world can react, everything will belong to the Han people."

"If we stop, things will change."

Liu Che nodded after hearing what Huo Hai said: "Even if there is only a one percent chance, we can't gamble, but if we continue to expand, we will either need a fast means of communication or we will need to divide the country."

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, when building railways in the core territory of the Han Dynasty, there can be no fiefdoms along the railway."

"Beyond the railway route, and even in the future, all territories conquered... must be divided."

In fact, Huo Hai wanted to talk about telegrams and telephones.

but!

impossible.

No matter which one of the telephone and telegraph systems was formed, it was at least after the power system was formed.

It takes time.

But what the Han Dynasty lacks now is time.

Things like unifying the world cannot be stopped. Once stopped, things will become complicated.

With such a large territory, how many stakeholders will participate in the court struggle in the future?
Hundreds? Thousands?
With so many people arguing together, Huo Hai didn't dare to imagine what kind of abstract things might happen.

The current Han Dynasty's global weight and deterrence far exceed that of the United States in the past, and both the court environment and the situation are similar to those of the United States.

If we stop at this point and there is no unified voice, there will be trouble next.

The goal is to make sure that no one will think about whether unifying the world is right or wrong, or whether there is a problem with the theory of destiny. Before anyone has thought it through, unification has already been accomplished and has become a fixed pattern.

There's no point in thinking about it.

A unified global mindset was first implanted into everyone's mind.

By then, even if various forces are fighting, no one will make a fuss about this matter.

Therefore, at this moment, there is no other choice but to use the feudal system to save time.

Although this system may have had a positive effect only in the first twenty years, the feudal nobles spent the next few hundred years sucking blood from the system.

But there is no way, isn’t this how every dynasty was established?

Huo Hai: "There are two ways now."

Liu Che looked at Huo Hai.

Oh? There are actually two ways to solve this unsolvable problem?

Huo Hai: "First, take back all the fiefdoms of the Han Dynasty within China and banish all the clan members."

"Secondly, add another rank above the marquis to allow people of other surnames to rule larger fiefdoms."

After these two methods were proposed, Liu Che fell silent.

It’s not that Liu Che couldn’t think of these two points, but that he didn’t dare to think of them.

The reason is simple.

The first method is to take back all the fiefdoms of royal families within China and move them outside the current borders.

Sounds like a good thing.

First, it can solve the problem of them threatening the rule of the Han royal family. Second, it can take back the wealthy core territories and drive them to remote areas.

But there's a bad thing.

The bad thing is that the Central Kingdom has lost its clan relatives, and the only ones left are nobles from other families!
The second solution is the same.

Add a first-class title to the current marquis, for example, Marquis Wanhu will be given another title to widen the gap between him and the marquis.

But this means that the saying that people from other surnames cannot be crowned kings becomes empty talk.

A super marquis is indeed not a king, but what is the difference between him and a king? He is just not a king in name only.

Either of these two means that the emperor's control over the future favorable situation will be weakened.

But the difficulty of this business lies in the fact that if no power is delegated to others, the Han Dynasty's global unification will not be established.

Without expanding the rights of the nobility, there can be no unification of the world.

Liu Che had thought this problem through long ago.

Economic development depends on capital, and territorial rule depends on the royal family.

If the big businessmen were to maintain their rule...

So in order to make money, will they create a new country and a new unification in places that are beyond their reach?
This is inevitable.

Others may not know, but doesn’t Liu Che know how many outrageous, bloody, shocking cases and bizarre things have happened in these three years of economic development?
Seeing that Liu Che was silent, Huo Hai continued: "Your Majesty, let's continue to analyze the pros and cons of these two measures."

"First, it is easy to take back the fiefdom of the royal family in the Central Kingdom."

"As long as we give them the right to use 1% of the commercial tax on the new land, they will happily agree."

In theory, all taxes from the fiefdom belong to the feudal nobles.

But! In the past, the Han Dynasty did not have commercial taxes, and commercial taxes were imposed temporarily.

When it came to imposing commercial taxes, Emperor Liu Che already had control of the guns.

Therefore, when Liu Che said that all commercial taxes in the Han Dynasty belonged to the court and only agricultural taxes belonged to the nobles, the nobles had no objection.

They even thought: I'm lucky that His Majesty didn't kill me and even left the agricultural tax to me.

The current situation is that the annual output value and annual tax revenue of the Han Dynasty have become a secret. No one knows except Liu Che. Even Huo Hai can only make a rough guess.

But there is no doubt that the stock trading center alone collects tens of billions of taxes a year.

Simply put, agricultural taxes are worthless compared to commercial taxes.

Therefore, apart from those nobles and clan members who followed the first wave to start big business, it is too late for most clan members to enter the market now, and they no longer have the capital to do big business.

If they want to engage in transportation business, their competitors will be other nobles who have developed in the same area first.

Other people's assets are snowballing, with each of them having hundreds of millions or even billions. For those who are just starting out now, it would be good enough if they have tens of millions in cash.

Most of the nobles live a luxurious life, and they really cannot afford to spend a huge amount of money at once.

After all, they are not like Cao Xiang who inherited wealth from birth.

Therefore, to get on board, it is definitely their chance to get an extra 1% of commercial tax in exchange for their fiefdom.

As long as they changed their fiefdoms, they could live a good life relying on commercial taxes, and even use commercial taxes as capital to catch up with the team and compete with those who were the first to try something new, such as King of Zhongshan Liu Sheng and King of Zhao Liu Pengzu.

So, they must be willing.

What's more, now that the train and the guns are here, it would be a bad idea to be too close to Chang'an, as it would completely hinder his good life.

In the current situation, who is still thinking of rebelling like Liu An and Liu Jian before? Are there enough heads to withstand a round of revolver? Is there enough for the whole family to withstand a cannon? If so, can the whole family withstand the shrapnel?

Therefore, they are definitely willing to change.

The farther away you are, the more comfortable your life will be!

Moreover, because it is too far away, the Han Dynasty's future restrictions on aristocratic laws, including restrictions such as not killing people at will, will probably only be implemented within the Central Kingdom.

Outside the Pamir Mountains and the coastline, you can do whatever you want.

The second, third, fourth and fifth generations of the nobles, who had been under high-pressure policies for twenty years, were eager to move out by train immediately.

After Huo Hai talked about this issue, he started talking about the issue of titles: "If we want to add a rank above the marquis, I'm afraid we have to restart the dukedom, and the principality will reappear."

"The benefit is that the fiefdom of the nobles of other surnames has been transformed from a virtual country into a real country with a large scope and a system that can be managed."

"The principality has its own army, which can violently suppress those barbarians who were just eaten and refuse to obey the Han rule."

"The downside is that dukes like my uncle Wei Qing and my elder brother Huo Qubing can develop into countries that are ten or a hundred times more powerful than Parthia and Daxia in places like Parthia and Daxia within ten years."

"Whether this country will threaten the Han Dynasty, I cannot say for sure and I dare not guarantee it."

"To be precise, I can guarantee that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and there will definitely be people who rebel."

In the Han Dynasty, who were eligible to be granted the title of Duke at that time?
Cao Xiang, Marquis of Pingyang!
Marquis of Pingyuan Weiqing!
Champion Hou Huo Qubing!

Xuanwu Hou Huo Hai!
Nanhuan Hou Gongsun He!

how to say.

Except Cao Xiang, all of them were Wei's relatives. Liu Che knew that if he did this, someone would definitely rebel, but it was different when Huo Hai said this.

Liu Che: "Are you really so sure and so absolute?"

Huo Hai: "People are divided. I will always remember your majesty's kindness, as will my elder brother and uncle. But if we really move our family to a place thousands of miles away, I can't guarantee what will happen to the next generation, the next generation, and the next generation."

"But there is a way around this."

Liu Che: “?”

Huo Hai: "The army of the Grand Duke or his relatives can 100% defeat the army that the local Yi and Hu may organize. And the imperial court army can 100% defeat the army of all the Grand Duke's relatives combined."

One hundred percent means it is impossible to fight.

Even if it is 300,000 against 30,000, it is not 100% certain. Even if it is 300,000 against 3,000, it is not 100% certain.

It would take an army of 300,000 with a superior tactical system and weapons system to defeat an army of 3,000 with a lower system to be 100% effective.

In other words.

The Han Dynasty must develop a new generation of weapons as soon as possible.

Then give the weapons currently in use to the clan members.

Another problem is that the weapons currently used by the Yulin Guard are half a generation higher than those used by the external troops.

As an emperor, the more core weapons the better.

In other words, the army of the imperial palace must be at least three generations higher, that of Chang'an must be two generations higher, and that of the Central Kingdom must be one generation higher, and each generation must be enough to ensure a clear win over the other.

This violent system can take shape.

is it possible?

may.

Facing Liu Che's questioning face, Huo Hai suggested a plan to wipe out the entire family: "Outside the Central Kingdom, anywhere else, it is forbidden to use the Han language."

"Scientific books other than those in the Han language are prohibited. Unless the court allows it, violators will be executed along with their entire clan."

"People who are not registered in the Central Country and whose bloodline is not in the Central Country are prohibited from learning the Great Han language. People who do not know the Great Han language are forever prohibited from coming to the Central Country."

"In a word, science has national boundaries."

This set of small tricks means that for ordinary people in countries outside the Central Kingdom, it is a fate of slavery that they can never escape.

Although it may not be slavery when put into words.

At the same time, the nobles in various places had complete power over their life and death.

Because they didn't know the Han language, they had no place to appeal for justice.

If you encounter a perverted noble who comes to power, you have to endure it until death.

Huo Hai learned these three methods from Europe and the United States in his previous life, but Huo Hai learned them better than them.

The reason why Britain became the empire on which the sun never sets and is still intact is because it allowed foreigners to learn English.

Because languages ​​can be learned easily, knowledge equals money.

And when language cannot be learned casually, knowledge equals power.

Another problem is that Britain forces others to learn its language, which results in rich people from anywhere being able to run to Britain.

How does Britain deal with these people?
Allow them to come? The brains and experiences of these first-generation founders make them much better at handling things than the second and third generations who stick to their homeland.

Wouldn't this result be punished by being hung up and beaten?
If they are refused entry, the hope that the people in the colonies can see at a glance will be completely lost, and the colonies will no longer listen to Britain.

Allowing others to learn technology is equivalent to the decline of the country. After the decline of the country, the country has to maintain the colonies and give up the benefits to them, which results in the local residents not being able to enjoy the policy benefits and becoming second-class citizens.

This problem later erupted even more wildly in the United States, turning the country into a country of blatant villains where everyone says one thing and does another.

Treating the villain first and the gentleman later is much better than treating the gentleman first and the villain later.

This is a clear sign to everyone that science has national boundaries. If you want to do science, go to the Central Kingdom. If you do science locally, you will die.

Liu Che probably understood: "Except for the children of nobles and officials we send to various places, no one else is allowed to learn Mandarin."

“Ban scientific books written in other languages.”

"That is to say, no other species of scientists will be born. If all scientists and researchers want to make progress, they must leave their native environment and come to the Central Kingdom and Chang'an to continue to make progress."

"Even if there are some ambitious people who stay in the country and collude with the nobles, they can't become a force to be reckoned with?"

Huo Hai nodded: "Of course, we can also give them some room to relax. For example, we can let those who have made contributions to the Han Dynasty learn Chinese and let them come to the Han Dynasty."

Liu Che still remembered what Huo Hai said: if you have more descendants, winning will mean losing, it's a matter of guaranteeing the bottom line.

"If they come and have a lot of children, what if the Han people don't like to have children?"

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, I never said that the rights of coming to the Han Dynasty can be inherited."

Liu Che widened his eyes.

He made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but his power in the Han Dynasty cannot be inherited by his descendants???

They gave birth to a child, and the child was sent back?

Can they accept it?
Huo Hai knew what Liu Che was thinking.

"That's the job of Guliang School. If they can't do this, then there's no point in keeping Guliang School. Let's find another school that can do it and take advantage of the ambassador's pie."

Liu Che thought carefully about the problems of this system.

This system is undoubtedly bloody and cruel.

But it is precisely because of the bloodiness and cruelty that it protects them.

Otherwise, why didn't Liu Che clear out these lands and replace them directly?
This system has another huge benefit.

That is, ordinary people in various places can only do work that does not require thinking or science. If there is any technical content, Han people are needed.

Therefore, anyone who has completed junior high school or high school in the Han Dynasty will be an expert and an elite in any country or industry.

Those who can't survive in the Han Dynasty can always go around the world to find jobs.

I will return to Dahan when I have earned enough money.

The only problem is, what if these guys can't control their belts?
Liu Che is now more sensitive about his belt.

After all, the Huo family's family tradition is all about belts.

Liu Che asked this question.

Huo Hai: "If you are not a noble and have a mixed-blood child, you will lose your Han origin."

"The half-blood descendants of the nobility have no right to inherit the title, only some protected property inheritance rights."

In this way, the mixed-race descendants naturally become the second ruling class of this place.

Liu Che: "If that's the case, then what if the locals have a business mind and become rich?"

Huo Hai: "For example, if the average annual income of a place is 100,000 yuan and the average wealth is 1 million yuan, then if it exceeds 10 million yuan, the inheritance tax will be 30%, and if it exceeds 100 million yuan, it will be 60% directly."

"If a family is taxed like this for generations and their wealth is still a hundred times that of ordinary people, then..."

Liu Che: "Are they that powerful?"

Huo Hai gestured with his hand in front of his neck and said, "Then we should find a reason to exterminate the clan."

Liu Che's eyes widened: "Why do you have such great hostility towards people outside the borders?"

This was not the case when Huo Hai was doing business in Chang'an!
Huo Hai was always polite to everyone. Even to his enemies, he would at most show contempt and ridicule them but would rarely kill them.

But how come when they got outside the country, they were annihilated one after another? !

Huo Hai's eyes were very clear at this time, not crazy.

Huo Hai is not from this world, and he cannot forget the things from his previous life no matter what.

The events of his previous life were a stamp of thought for Huo Hai.

Many people only think that there was a century of humiliation. But they don’t know that all countries really wanted to kill the Chinese nation, but China was strong and survived.

This is not them holding back.

Now that he has absolute initiative, Huo Hai wants to kill all his competitors' starting rights from the very beginning.

Now Huo Hai not only has absolute initiative, but also has rich experience in crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Believe me, if Washington had read a newspaper in the 21st century, he would never raise free-range chickens, only chickens in cages.

Don’t think that Huo Hai’s policies may seem a bit cruel.

But in fact, it did not prevent them from having the right to live a good life on their own land, nor did it prevent them from pursuing personal wealth, nor did it prevent them from pursuing scientific truth.

It just cuts off their right to collectively elevate their status.

This move is called cutting the dragon vein.

The technique of slaying young dragons.

Why are you so ruthless?
Because China had taken advantage of most of this in the previous life.

China is so corrupt, but after all this, it can still revive and rise again.

But since there are examples, Huo Hai has no choice but to learn from them and improve a little to increase the power of the Young Dragon Slaying Technique.

Ever since the day Huo Hai invented Pinyin, he has been waiting for this day.

Huo Hai could have come up with non-alphabetic pinyin at the beginning.

But Huo Hai didn't.

The purpose is to provide a language for people from all over the world in the future.

If there is any language that can be used by simply modifying it, it would of course be English. Huo Hai doesn't know any other language, and there is no way he can study one now.

Learning English is the way out that Huo Hai deliberately left for the second-class people.

If people are not differentiated into first class and second class, then what is the point of having a bourgeoisie? Wouldn't that be in vain?

How to divide?

They had already studied it in their previous life, and now they just need to change the color.

There are five directions and five colors. The center is loess, and yellow is the positive color. The others just need to stay at the edge of the world.

At this time, Liu Che raised a sharp question.

"What if, one day, all the people of the Central Kingdom have a problem with their brains because of their good life, and they all think that this system is too cruel, so they want to improve the status of people in other countries in the world, and then..."

Liu Che is worthy of being Liu Che, he even thought of this possibility.

But, is there no such day in history?

Have.

Isn’t this what happened to Wang Mang’s Xin Dynasty in history?

There was no chaos at all, no sign of the country's destruction. It's just that all classes in the Han Dynasty were living ordinary and stupid lives, and suddenly the trend of thought began to turn left.

Then came Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty.

Isn’t that day coming?!
However, Huo Hai was not afraid at all: "It is possible, but at least, it won't happen before our generation and the next generation die, right?"

Liu Che nodded.

Huo Hai: "By then, the Central Kingdom should have developed super weapons that other countries cannot catch up with even after ten years of development. Ten years will be enough time for everything to happen."

Liu Xiu, you are such a lucky guy. I wonder if you will be there again this time.

But anyway, if there is, you don't have to wait for the meteorite this time, just throw the missiles as much as you can.

However, Wang He's fate changed.

Maybe there is no boy named Wang Mang?
The two were talking happily, and Wei Zifu came over and said, "It's almost time! Still talking, what can't you say at night?"

Huo Hai: "I don't have time to talk to him at night... ahem, at night I... um..."

At this time, Liu Che was still thinking about this scientific blockade system.

Somehow, Liu Che came onto the stage under the guidance of the host.

Huo Zhongru and Wei Shaoer were also sitting here.

Huo Qubing was in the audience and was very pleased, but he didn't say much.

Huo Hai and Princess Wei Chang saluted the four people.

Huo Zhongru and Wei Shaoer stood up to stop them.

Princess Wei Chang: "If Huo Hai can kowtow, I can kowtow too."

The two stopped trying to stop him.

Liu Che somehow took out a big red envelope and put it in Huo Hai's hand. In a trance, he remembered that he had married his daughter.

It was a bit hard to accept for a while.

My heart felt so cold.

The more Wei Zifu looked at Huo Hai, the more satisfied she became, and she smiled.

Many people in the audience also saw it: "Your Majesty actually looks like he's about to cry. When I marry my daughter off, I must remember to cry out loud!"

Otherwise, wouldn't it show that Your Majesty lacks concentration?

You have to cry yourself!

At the wedding, Huo Hai and Princess Wei Chang also walked around and drank.

They drank as they walked, even though what they drank was water pretending to be liquor, but seeing everyone eating so happily, Huo Hai was really hungry!

Huo Hai has eaten three big banquets in the past few months, but he didn't even eat a single bite! Pure weight loss!
……

Jiang Buyi scratched his head hard at the door leading from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard.

What's going on? Could it be that the teacher didn't get in? This shouldn't be the case. How could the teacher, who is so smart, clever and greedy, not get in?

What about people?

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Buyi went to ask the servants if there were any other doors in the inner courtyard.

The servant answered yes.

Jiang Buyi was stunned and hurried to the door the servant mentioned.

Then I realized it was the door from the inner hall to the inner courtyard.

"This is just causing more trouble!"

But in a trance, Jiang Buyi saw his teacher!

Huh?
Jiang Buyi hurried to the door and pulled the teacher out, lowering his head and saying, "How did you get in here? This is outrageous! These are all important officials in the court! You must have been discovered!"

Liu Ju was originally planning to sneak into the inner courtyard and then trick Jiang Buyi into saying that he sneaked in alone, but now he was caught red-handed. He opened his mouth and said, "Ah? You said you wanted me to wait for you at the inner courtyard gate. I am right here at the inner courtyard gate!"

Jiang Buyi looked around and said, "No one saw it. I'll take you to the banquet. After that, we can go to Wu Hou to apologize and that's it."

Liu Ju: "How can Wu Hou have any time today?"

Jiang Buyi scratched his head and said, "That's right, let's eat first. I'll tell Wu Hou about it after we finish eating."

Liu Ju: “Hey, let’s go!”
