The big man has a living father

Chapter 231 (Long Chapter) The Three Heroes of the Huo Family
The fragrance on the long street is so terrifying.

This is one that is clearly terrifying, but also very tempting.

It clearly makes one's nose hurt, but it also makes one's eyes bright.

It clearly makes people feel as if their chest and abdomen have been hit by a heavy hammer, and it also makes their mouths water.

Just smelling it makes me drool!

The yard of this restaurant was originally empty, but now tables are placed in the yard.

Everyone was eating tiger thorn ha han, eating with a "whoosh" sound, and "ha~" and "ah, it's so spicy that it's killing me."

But, as if there was magic, I kept saying it was spicy and ate it at the same time.

"Potato chips. Try some potato chips."

"Oh, why are we in Chang'an? If we were in Chengdu, we could eat some tender leafy vegetables."

"Tender leafy vegetables? I'm afraid they're a bit unbearable. Green leafy vegetables absorb a lot of oil, and if you swallow the oil... I'm afraid your butt will be a bit sore the next day."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt, hiss~"

A group of people were showing off wildly.

Huo Hai also enjoyed his meal.

After seven years, I finally got to eat it.

When I first came to Dahan seven years ago, I thought I would never be able to eat this in my lifetime!

Unfortunately, this pepper is not spicy enough, and its aroma is not particularly good. We need to continue selecting varieties to slowly develop a truly complex spicy flavor.

Otherwise, the taste of the same kind of chili, bean paste, dry chili, and wet chili is actually not that different. Fresh pepper mainly has more umami flavor, while the sauce has more stale flavor.

The difference in aroma and spicy combination is still quite different.

However, now that we have finally taken the first step, the following steps will naturally become easy.

Liu Ji was sweating and shivering while eating.

I don’t know why, but people from Chengdu seem to be able to accept this thing naturally. Although it tastes spicy, they can still bear it. However, Liu Ji finds it a little unacceptable.

Liu Hongping, who came from Shu County, was very receptive to it.

Liu Hongping took another big bite.

Then he glanced at Jiang Buyi.

At this time, Jiang Buyi was already confused.

Having stayed in Guangdong for several years, he had long been accustomed to the food there and usually did not try strong-flavored food like Huo Hai did.

I was completely confused when I first tasted something spicy.

He was sitting at the table holding an earthen bowl, looking confused.

Huo Hai then remembered: "Boss!"

People came hurriedly.

Huo Hai: "Sesame oil, minced garlic, coriander, shallots, and a dipping bowl."

The boss took immediate action.

Soon, a stack of dipping bowls was made and distributed to the people at Huo Hai's table.

When others saw it, they immediately started to learn from it.

The problem is that sesame oil is too expensive. In Chang'an, the price of sesame oil is more than fifteen times that of ordinary rapeseed oil, and many people really cannot afford it.

Many people secretly vowed that when they returned to Chengdu one day, they would eat as much sesame oil dishes as they could!

After using the oil disc, Liu Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was alive again.

Hotpot is spicy and hot.

The high temperature helps the peppers cook, just like the human tongue is burning, no wonder it is called hot pot.

But sesame oil can wash away some of the spiciness of the original soup, reduce the temperature, and has a special aroma. It’s a perfect match!

"It's absolutely amazing! It's absolutely amazing!"

"How on earth did you come up with this idea to eat it like this?"

"I think that bean paste is absolutely delicious when stir-fried."

"Then you go back to Chengdu and open a stir-fry restaurant, and I'll go back and open a hotpot restaurant."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Huo Hai's table had the most base ingredients, while the other tables only had a small piece.

However, Huo Hai estimated that in ten years, people in Shu County would be able to eat a whole block of hot pot base in one pot without any problems. It was unknown how long it would take for the hot pot base to develop into a super spicy base with two blocks of base and three blocks of oil.

It’s a pity that the Shujun Sichuan pepper sent to Chang’an didn’t have enough flavor, perhaps because it had been there for a long time or because the variety or timing was not good.

If you have the chance, you must go to Chengdu and eat it once.

Huo Hai was satisfied with the meal and achieved his goal.

The form of hot pot will inevitably spread to Shu County quickly.

This method of preparing pig offal that saves time and effort will inevitably become popular quickly and then flourish.

This further reduces the cost of pork products.

By then, the people along the Yangtze River will have meat to eat, wine to drink, and money to drink, so it is inevitable that they will start investing in shipping.

The current problem with the Yangtze River is its small population. The population of the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River combined is less than half of that of Shu County. If we don't attract some of the people of Shu County to engage in shipping, no matter how much subsidies and population relocation are done in other parts of the Han Dynasty, the hole cannot be plugged in a short time.

Hot pot has reduced the local cost of eating meat, increased the profit margin of pork products, and accelerated local wealth accumulation.

In addition, wine has high profits, so a group of shipping tycoons will surely emerge in the near future.

With this group of people moving south, the few places along the Yangtze River that are currently uninhabited will definitely develop into cities.

Then, in the area where the entire Nanman is located, there will be a strong city gathering and people will have places to work, which will naturally solve their problems.

Huo Hai did not pack up the food this time because the boss made clear oil hot pot base, and the chef of the Huo family could get butter. When the time came, the butter hot pot base could be divided into blocks, which was more suitable for packaging.

After finishing the meal, Huo Hai remembered that it would be a waste if he didn’t have some beer.

It’s not like there’s no beer for sale in Chang’an.

Besides, this thing is too spicy, how can Princess Wei Chang eat it now? Huo Hai also secretly came out to eat.

After eating, Huo Hai left directly.

But hot pot stayed.

Liu Ji was not completely stunned after the meal. His request was actually very simple. He wanted to do some trading business and raise money to buy a 100-meter-long, 1,000-ton ship.

With this thing, goods can be transported faster along the Yangtze River.

However, Huo Hai directly told Liu Ji that before the next generation of ships was developed, this generation of most advanced ships would be considered military products and would be under control.

Everyone said so before, but without personal confirmation, Liu Ji certainly did not give up.

Now that it has been confirmed, Liu Ji has nothing to say.

It’s not that the connections are not good enough, it’s that no one wants to sell to us, then there’s nothing to say.

Huo Hai found it strange. If there really was a thousand-ton ship, it would be better to go to North America.

Now, it only takes forty-five days for the Han Dynasty's thousand chariots to travel to North America.

Even if you run the engine less frequently, you can still get there in just a few days.

This kind of giant ship only makes money by doing long-distance business.

But it is also true that not everyone can see from the current situation that goods shipped from overseas have high profits.

Huo Hai took Liu Hongping back and gave Liu Hongping instructions along the way.

Liu Hongping wrote it all down.

Huo Hai now needs an assistant to process official documents, such as summarizing the documents handed over, or writing a document with the same meaning according to what Huo Hai said and sending it out.

These tasks are considered basic, and there are also many miscellaneous tasks.

Huo Hai is now the Minister of Agriculture, one of the Three Dukes, and has a lot of work to do.

When he got back to the Huo Mansion and just got off the car, the housekeeper came forward and said, "Second Master, the eldest master wants you to come over to discuss matters."

Huo Hai felt strange because Huo Qubing hadn't called him to discuss matters for a long time.

What's going on today?
Huo Hai soon arrived at the main hall of the Huo family.

This main hall has not been used for a long time.

The last time it was used was when Huo Hai hosted a banquet the day after he returned, and Liu Che came to eat for free.

In the main hall, there was a plate of fried peanuts in front of Huo Qubing, who was eating peanuts while drinking.

Huo Qubing looked at Huo Hai and asked, "What's that smell?"

Huo Hai: "A new way to eat it, hot pot, but it's a little spicy. I can eat tomato hot pot at home next time."

"Brother, what do you want to see me about?"

Huo Qubing continued to pick up peanuts: "It's not me who's looking for you, it's Huo Guang."

Huo Hai took a seat: "Where are the people?"

At the side door of the side yard, Huo Guang came in carrying a plate of smoked pig ears: "Brother, I'm here."

After the pig's ears were put down, Huo Hai reached out, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

"Old Third, do you have something to tell us?"

Huo Guang: "I'm getting married."

Huo Hai and Huo Qubing both paused for a moment before continuing to chew.

"Have you finally decided?"

"You are not young anymore. You are already twenty years old. It is time for you to get married."

Now Huo Qubing is twenty-four, Huo Hai is about to turn twenty-three, and Huo Guang is about to turn twenty-one.

Huo Guang chuckled and said, "I saved my own money and bought a small house in the south of the city. I will move there when the time comes, and hold the wedding there on the day of my wedding."

Huo Hai was stunned for a moment, and the peanuts in Huo Qubing's hand stopped in mid-air. He turned his head and looked at Huo Guang suspiciously.

"why?"

Huo Guang: "I am an adult now, I have my own family, I should move out by myself."

Huo Qubing: "When we built this Huo Mansion, it was not just Huo Qubing's or Huo Hai's, but the Huo Mansion of the three of us brothers."

Huo Guang: "Yes. But in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, this is the residence of the two marquises of the Huo family."

Huo Qubing became a little angry and put down his chopsticks.

Huo Hai looked at Huo Guang and suddenly understood something.

The day has come.

Human beings are very complex creatures, and Huo Guang was destined not to live an ordinary life.

For Huo Guang, even if he followed his brother to gain credit, conquer a country or a city, and be granted a title of nobility, it would be just an ordinary life.

and so……

Huo Guang did not back down because of Huo Qubing's anger: "Brother, today we brothers have closed the door and talked among ourselves. Let's speak frankly. I have some extremely rebellious remarks."

"If you think there is something wrong, you can tell His Majesty and punish me, whether it is exile or beheading, without hesitation."

Huo Guang never did such a thing. If he did, he had to do it and could not not do it. Otherwise, he would have no way to survive.

What exactly forced Huo Guang to have no way to survive?
Huo Qubing didn't understand.

But Huo Qubing thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You say."

Huo Qubing: "Big brother, second brother."

"Han Xin conquered half of the country, but died a violent death."

"Look at the map of the Han Dynasty now. Four fifths of it was conquered by you, big brother and second brother. So what?"

Huo Hai looked at the map hanging on the wall next to him.

That seems to be the case.

Huo Qubing closed his eyes and thought.

Then he said, "Your Majesty is very gracious."

Huo Guang interrupted: "Brother, do you know what Second Brother is most afraid of?"

"My second brother is most afraid that you will die. Although he doesn't say it, I can see it."

Huo Qubing looked at Huo Hai.

Huo Hai was calm.

There is nothing to hide.

Huo Guang continued: "Once something happens to you, big brother, then the Huo family will no longer be dear to your majesty, but your biggest enemy."

"What about the Tian and Dou families back then?"

The emperors of the Han Dynasty were all cruel, ruthless and ungrateful, and Huo Qubing knew this better than anyone else.

Huo Qubing knew that this was true, but for Liu Che, who raised him, Huo Qubing still wanted to maintain his image, at least in his own heart.

"As long as I am here, Your Majesty will be gracious to me."

Huo Guang: "Brother, what if you are gone tomorrow?"

"Do you know why my second brother didn't let you go south? It's because there are more miasma and bacteria in the south, and you have fought in wars for many years, and the pockmarks and wounds on your body are actually bacterial infections. So my second brother didn't dare to let you go south, because if you die in the south, the Wei and Huo families will have no way out in the future."

Huo Qubing looked at Huo Hai, wanting to know if Huo Hai thought so.

Huo Hai nodded: "Yes, I think so."

"But it's better now. I'm married to the princess and I've made military achievements. If something happens to my elder brother, I'll have to go into battle and make contributions."

Huo Guang: "What if my second brother dies too?"

Huo Qubing: "Huo Guang, do you really want to curse us to death?"

Huo Hai: "Brother, everyone will die one day. I think the third brother is right about this."

Huo Guang: "Brother, please put aside the kindness His Majesty has shown you and His Majesty has shown my second brother. In fact, His Majesty may show me the same kindness in the future."

"But the problem is, your majesty will die one day."

"Even if His Majesty is fine, as long as the eldest and second brothers pass away first, it will be a disaster for the Huo family."

"Big brother and second brother are in power because His Majesty wants his right-hand men to be in power. His Majesty loves you all, and even loves the entire Huo family. But can His Majesty really love Huo Xian and Huo Yan as much as he loves Big brother and second brother today?"

"There is no family in the world that has all wise and talented people throughout the generations. Even after King Wu of Zhou, there were still King You of Zhou and King Li of Zhou."

"Moreover, the Huo family is not qualified to go that far. However, if the eldest and second brothers are gone in the future and Huo Xian and Huo Yan hold the same power, Your Majesty will definitely not be happy."

"Big brother and second brother, you have the favor of His Majesty and rare abilities in one, but do your two nephews have this ability? What about their children?"

Huo Qubing understood what Huo Guang meant.

Liu Che could happily accept that his favorite, capable and close self was the Grand Marshal and General of the Cavalry.

But he would never accept that Huo Xian, whom he loved, was close to, but incompetent, and was the General of the Cavalry.

Your Majesty, after all, still likes credit.

Moreover, if Your Majesty passes away one day, the successor may not be liked even more.

Huo Guang: "I'm going to say something extremely treasonous. After your Majesty dies, when the Crown Prince takes the throne, he may seem to be a relative of Wei and Huo, but by then, we will be the Dou family, the Wang family, and the Tian family."

Huo Qubing: "So, you want to separate from us to avoid being implicated in the future?"

Huo Hai: "I'm afraid he doesn't just think that."

"He wants to take a third path, climb to the same position as us, and get the same rights as us."

Huo Qubing: "What's the difference?"

"As long as Huo Guang follows the rules, won't he be able to become a prime minister in the future?"

Huo Hai shook his head: "In any period of history, the prime minister has power, but now, the prime minister has no power."

"Brother, you represent the new nobles and relatives, while I represent more of the great nobles and merchants. Only one group is a threat to us and may be able to overthrow us."

Huo Qubing: "A soldier who is not a noble, a good family, or a small businessman?"

Huo Hai nodded: "Huo Guang, do you want to be their representative? What did you promise? Or what did you promise?"

Huo Guang: "I want to lead the parliament and be above the court."

Huo Hai knew it!
really.

But this is not possible.

As long as the nobles feel the consequences of the merchants being in power for a while, a reversal is inevitable. The problem with the Han Dynasty now is that it is impossible for the regime to emerge from the barrel of a gun, so the inevitable result of a reversal is that the newly born pure capitalist class will be crushed to death.

Huo Guang: "Second brother, I know you thought about this, but you killed the idea."

"Otherwise you wouldn't have a parliament and then make it unnecessary."

"Do you think I am doomed to fail?"

Huo Hai nodded.

Huo Qubing looked at Huo Guang in silence.

Huo Guang: "I also think I might lose, but I have to charge."

Huo Hai: "You can, but you can't win because I won't allow it."

Huo Guang: "Second brother, there is one thing I don't understand!"

"When you started the new business reform, did you try to stop me? No, because you are a new noble and a relative of the emperor, but you are also a great noble. No matter which class wins, it will not affect your status at all."

"It's the same now. If you win the court meeting, you will be the leader of the new business reform and one of the three highest officials. It's certain that you will become the prime minister or even the Grand Marshal in the future."

“If the parliament wins, you will still be the leader of the new business reform, the founder of the parliament, and the person most admired by all the businessmen in the parliament.”

“No matter who wins or loses, you win, and if the parliament wins, you win more thoroughly!”

"Why not choose?"

Huo Hai smiled: "Good boy, you are now a lobbyist."

At this time, Huo Qubing was also confused.

Yes, that’s right, what Huo Guang said is right.

Obviously, Huo Hai could have chosen to change it completely.

Since you have changed it, just throw away all the old ones and use all the new ones.

How can an old house be renovated and then rebuilt to make it solid?

And after the reconstruction, Huo Hai will indeed have greater power.

Because what would it be like if Parliament really replaced the court session?

At that time, every member of the parliament will be Huo Hai’s disciple, every one of them!
But in the court, Huo Hai could never achieve this.

Because that was the glory that belonged to Emperor Gaozu.

Huo Guang waited for the answer.

Huo Qubing was also waiting for the answer.

Huo Hai: "I can answer that. It's very simple, because I don't trust businessmen."

Huo Guang was stunned: "Second brother, when Zhang Tang's business reform was about to start, all merchants in the world were about to be wiped out. It was at that time that you took action and directly created a new group of merchants."

"Without your action this time, all the merchants in the world would be dead."

"Since you were the one who developed such a huge and terrifying group of businessmen, why don't you trust them?"

“If you don’t trust them, why develop them?”

Huo Hai: "I don't trust businessmen for the same reason that I develop businessmen."

"Because merchants are very greedy, their desires are endless, so as long as there are enough merchants in the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty will definitely unify the world and swallow up the entire world, using the appetite and greed of merchants to digest the entire world."

"But merchants are greedy, and the Han cannot let them have the final say."

Huo Qubing examined his two younger brothers.

The choices people make are complex.

Huo Guang made a choice, first for his family, second for himself, and third for the Han Dynasty.

Huo Hai made a choice, first for the Han Dynasty, second for his family, and third for himself.

Same, yet different.

So the results are completely different.

Huo Hai looked at Huo Guang: "Are you really going to take this step?"

This step is not a bad one.

In fact, this was not Huo Guang rebelling against Huo Hai.

Huo Guang just walked halfway to Huo Hai and didn't want to go that way anymore, so he continued walking.

If it succeeds, this road will still be Huo Hai's road.

But Huo Hai wanted to warn Huo Guang that this was not the right path to take.

But Huo Guang wanted to ask, why did you choose this path in the first place?
It's like a father telling his child not to do something, but the child will definitely do it. After the child has children, he will tell his children what not to do, but the child will definitely do it.

There will definitely be someone who will do this.

Huo Qubing raised his head and said, "Huo Guang, you only considered one option, not the other."

"Indeed, if you lead the parliament to victory, our family will still be big businessmen, Huo Hai will still be the ancestor of businessmen, and I will still be the ancestor of education, and people will still admire us."

“There will be no change to our rights.”

"But once the aristocratic system is broken, everything that has been obtained with great difficulty becomes fragile."

Huo Guang: "Brother, don't lie to yourself. How many marquisates in the early Han Dynasty have not been stripped of their titles?"

"If it weren't for my second brother who created the situation where the world was in urgent need of nobles, I'm afraid all the nobles in the world would have been eliminated by Your Majesty."

Huo Qubing: "Okay, you have considered the second one."

"What about the third one?"

"If the parliament wins, how can you be sure that you can always control the parliament?"

Huo Guang: "I will establish an extremely complex electorate system that costs a lot of money. It will cost a lot of money to elect members of parliament, and only entrenched members of parliament know how to make money as members of parliament. Most members of parliament will eventually go down even if they get elected."

What Huo Guang said was very secretive. Huo Guang wanted to establish an economic and political family.

This form is far better than the current aristocratic system.

The reason is that the Huo family can split up without restraint, even if they can split into ten or twenty families, but when it comes to voting, the Huo family is still the Huo family, and every descendant of the Huo family is the successor of the previous generation of respected senior members of the Huo family.

And when something happens and people are beheaded, it is the heads of the entire family that are chopped off.

The bad thing is that there will definitely be more families that will achieve the same status.

Huo Hai looked at Huo Guang.

Indeed, with Huo Guang's intelligence, both in public and private, he thought of the limits of human thought!
In fact, as long as the Han Dynasty is unified, there will be no talk of the rise of the military-industrial complex in the future.

Political families will certainly have a firm grip on Parliament.

However, human imagination is limited after all, and humans cannot imagine things they have not seen.

Therefore, Huo Guang could not imagine that there would be such a person as the King of Understanding in the world.

One or two, over time, all the proud old families will be wiped out.

From a public perspective, Huo Guang could not imagine the disgusting nature of capital in power.

But from a certain perspective, Huo Guang's choice was actually correct.

The three brothers talked about all these things in detail.

In the end, Huo Guang returned to that premise: "Brother, apart from the imperial power, there is only one force in the world that can end everything of the Huo family."

"You represent the nobles and the relatives of the emperor. My second brother has an unparalleled firm position among the nobles and big capital."

"There is only one force in the world that has the potential to overthrow the Huo family, and that is small businessmen."

"If they develop freely, they will eventually impact us, whether you two are willing or not."

Huo Hai nodded.

This is the truth.

If there is no impact, then it is not right.

Maybe they would intentionally avoid the name Huo Hai, but what if they died by then?

When people leave, the tea is cool.

Huo Guang: "And the small merchants have this potential and ability. If so... why isn't the leader of the small merchants a member of the Huo family?"

"If they were under my command, how could I lead them to do something that would really hurt the Huo family's foundation?"

Huo Guang, you must be the sword bearer.

With a sharp blade in hand, you won’t hurt yourself.

Huo Qubing: "You are right, but your second brother once said something interesting. He said that any unbreakable empire will collapse from within."

"The impact of small businessmen on the Huo family is far less than the impact of the Huo family's split on us."

Huo Guang: "Brother, I have considered this, so I will take the blame."

Huo Qubing was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

Huo Guang: "From the day of my wedding, my elder brother and second brother no longer need to come to my house. To the outside world, everyone will say that Huo Guang is too ambitious and wants to be an opinion leader, so he betrayed his elder brother and second brother."

"Many people even cursed, saying that Huo Guang had no ability at all. If he had not been Huo Qubing and Huo Hai's younger brother, he would never have become the leader of small merchants."

"They say that I can become the representative of this new group only because of my second brother's influence. The reason why everyone chose me is that they wanted my second brother to be the leader, but he didn't have the voice to be the leader, so I took advantage of the opportunity."

“As long as the anchor is deep enough, the small merchants will remember that their enemy is not my second brother, but they will develop into an organization that is qualified for my second brother to be the leader.”

"As long as they have this layer of insurance, they will never hurt the Huo family."

Huo Hai: "Think about it carefully. Small businessmen have no voice at all. Once you are scolded, the overwhelming voices will scold you to death."

Huo Qubing didn't understand and looked at Huo Hai and Huo Guang: "What do you mean?"

Why curse?
How did others know that Huo Guang did this?

Could it be that……

Huo Qubing reacted: "You want to publicly become the leader of small businessmen and run for parliament?! Even become a senator?!"

If Huo Guang directly represented the entire group of small businessmen, it would be a natural thing for him to be elected as a member of parliament, and his election as a member of parliament would be a sure thing.

But the price was that everyone in Chang'an knew openly that Huo Guang "did not trust the court meeting, but trusted the parliament more."

It is now visibly that the court meeting is about to be reorganized and will be headed by Huo Hai.

In other words, Huo Guang basically announced to the public, "I think my brother made the wrong choice, and I want to correct him."

Although this was not stated explicitly, others could sense the meaning.

Also, is this how parliament works? Publicly announce that you represent a certain group of people? Then run for election to increase your influence?
Does Your Majesty allow it?
Also, since you, Huo Guang, know that only small businessmen can threaten the Huo family, can't Your Majesty see it?

Can't you see that you, Huo Guang, are acting? It seems that you want to split up the family, but in fact you want to have three heroes in one family and block any way that may threaten the Huo family?

Your Majesty can see it at a glance!

Huo Qubing: "You think Your Majesty can't see it?"

Huo Guang grabbed Huo Qubing's sleeve and said, "Brother, it is because His Majesty can see that I want to do this while the situation is still completely under our control. Because of His Majesty's love for my brothers, he will tolerate me doing this and wait and see how the parliament evolves!"

"The current parliament is not even up to par. It is basically a fake parliament. My actions will certainly allow the parliament to have real power, but Your Majesty will never refuse. Your Majesty will only observe whether there are any benefits in it."

This will definitely be good, and Liu Che will definitely see it.

This is the whole reason for Huo Guang’s choice.

Huo Hai sighed.

Yes, what court meetings and parliaments? This is not the Ming Dynasty, so court meetings are useless. This is not Britain, so parliaments are useless. This is the Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Wu, and Liu Che had the final say in everything.

After all, all this was done first for Liu Che to see, secondly for the world to see, and finally, to see what changes this behavior itself can bring.

Huo Qubing: "You go."

Huo Guang was delighted.

If you leave, doesn’t that mean you can leave the Huo family?

After Huo Guang left, Huo Qubing looked at Huo Hai.

Huo Hai: "If it weren't for me, no one could stop Huo Guang from doing this. Not even Your Majesty could stop him."

Huo Qubing: "I want to ask, have you discussed this in advance?"

Huo Hai: “Yes and no.”

Huo Qubing had doubts.

Huo Hai: "When we went north to the grasslands, the third brother asked me if he could become a high official in his lifetime. I said he would definitely become the leader of all officials."

Huo Qubing glared at Huo Hai.

Huo Hai: "At that time, he couldn't see the future clearly. I told him that the future lies in business, and he listened."

Over the years, Huo Guang learned and honed his skills by Liu Che's side, and while thinking and pondering, he finally figured out how to do it.

……

Huo Guang married Yuan Wan.

Many officials in the inner court went to drink.

Even Emperor Liu Che sent gifts and went to see it in person.

Huo Hai didn't go.

Huo Qubing didn't go either.

Of course, gifts were also given.

Huo Guang held the banquet in a new house that was newly developed in the south of the city. It did not even have an independent courtyard, but only a front and back yard separated by a wall.

The place for the banquet was borrowed from neighbors.

It was because of this that Liu Che did not stay for dinner. It was really inconvenient.

There are too many residents nearby, and all of them have second floors. A crossbow can be fatal. How could Liu Che stay in such an environment for too long?

If we kick everyone out, then there’s no point in posing for social media.

After this day began, many rumors spread in Chang'an City.

It is said that the three brothers of the Huo family have broken up.

The third child didn’t want to eat the leftovers with the eldest and second children and wanted to carry his own bowl.

For this reason, he even left the Huo family and started a new business.

He described it with such detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Soon, it was no longer just talk.

Huo Guang wrote an article to explain his own ideas, stating that he firmly supported the development model that prioritized science, education, culture and health. However, more tax revenue should be spent on developed areas, expanding the scale of commercialization in prosperous business areas, strengthening economic strengths, and then considering the issue of leading the backward.

To put it bluntly, taxes should be spent where they are collected.

After these words came out, who among the small and medium-sized businessmen who figured out the situation would not stand on his side? !
Big businessmen naturally hope for universal development and expansion of the market.

However, the merchants in Chang'an would like to spend all their money in Chang'an, the merchants in Xincheng would like to spend their money in Xincheng, and people living next to the stock trading hall in the New City of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty would like to spend all their taxes on this street.

After Huo Guang wrote his first rule, he publicly announced that he would represent small and medium-sized businessmen in parliament and urged parliament to consider his candidacy.

Huo Guang was originally a court official. If he was willing to come in, why would the parliament be unwilling?
However, many people are scolding Huo Guang for starting a new business. He thought that being a member of an aristocratic family was not enough, so why did he come up with such things?

Huo Guang then proposed his second program, that merchants should unite and strive for partial legislative power, hoping that parliament would have the power to discuss laws like the court.

After proposing the second article, Huo Guang was already a member of parliament. This time, Huo Guang publicly proposed that the people should elect senators.

In just one month, Huo Guang became the most famous person in parliament.

But the way he seized power was like using his own brother's skeleton and digging meat from his brother's hands, and many people are scolding him!

Especially many ordinary citizens and workers.

But Huo Guang was not afraid.

Because Chang'an was developing rapidly, workers and ordinary citizens would always accumulate enough gold to become small businessmen.

The day they become small businessmen, all the words they have cursed will become the reason for them to support Huo Guang.

Big businessman? courtier?

How can you not be scolded when you fight for power? The one that everyone likes is Huo Hai, not Huo Guang.

As Huo Guang proposed that the parliament should have partial legislative power, that is, the right to discuss laws, not only small and medium-sized businessmen, but also big businessmen began to support Huo Guang to become a senator and fight on behalf of the parliament.

In a short period of time, Huo Guang unified the parliamentary forces for the first time with his own means and started to do this thing.

I thought Huo Guang got the position of Guanglu Dafu with the help of his two elder brothers.

As a result, he suddenly became a prominent figure in Chang'an, as prominent as his elder and second brothers.

The Huo family, is it true that there are only three outstanding people in the family?
My skills are also considered as skills? Huo Zhongru is really a master! He never misses a shot!
