I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 122 [1 More] 122

Liu Tan thought about it for a while, since he has cheated Lu Xuan so many times, it seems... it is time to win for Lu Xuan.

So after everyone's discussion, and always worried that such "a penny" would make Lu Xuan feel dissatisfied.

Liu Tan took the opportunity to say, "If you're worried, you might as well strengthen caravan exchanges, or even open more mutual markets."

After he finished speaking, everyone else looked blank: "Mutual market?"

Liu Tan turned around in his mind a few times before he remembered that this concept basically didn't appear until the Tang Dynasty, and now basically everyone is in a state where foreigners are all enemies, and Zhang Qian's road to hollowing out has just been opened, so everyone didn't go this far. Think about it.

Liu Tan immediately explained: "It is to open the market at a fixed point. Basically, it is bartering, or bartering gold and silver. The best location for the mutual market is in the middle of the big man and the little Wusun, and the mutual market must be strictly managed. Salt tea iron Whether these three things should be sold or not, if Little Wusun needs it, he can write to the court, and the court will sell it according to the situation, and the mutual market is not allowed."

Da Sinong's eyes became brighter the more he listened. He is in charge of the country's finances and is naturally sensitive to these things. In fact, although the Western Regions are barren, there are many things that the Central Plains lack and are very popular.

Those things are sold at high prices in the Central Plains. Nowadays, the national finance is more about taxation, and there is no awareness of investment and increasing income and reducing expenditure. Therefore, the first thing Da Sinong thinks is that if he engages in a mutual market, he can definitely benefit for himself.

Of course, such thinking was normal at the time, and it was not even considered corruption.

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Che. Liu Che was also thinking about his own money bag at this time, and felt that his son seemed to have found another way for him to make money.

Although all taxes in the world are equivalent to his money, Liu Che is not a foolish king and will not excessively occupy the country's resources, so his own small purse is more important.

Liu Tan saw that after he finished speaking, everyone was discussing in a low voice, and everyone accepted his statement very well, which made him very happy.

However, when the discussion started, Liu Tan felt that something was wrong. Why did everyone start from small businessmen?

Although this description may not be correct, no matter how powerful a businessman is, he is still a weak individual for the country.

The more Liu Tan listened, the more he couldn't bear to listen, and couldn't help but said: "This... shouldn't it be controlled by the court?"

Everyone looked at him with some confusion on their faces. Gongsun He was very patient with him: "Isn't the matter discussed now about how the court will control it?"

Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "I'm talking about commodity control, that is... the imperial court pays for the transaction with Xiao Wusun, and then sells it to merchants, and then the merchants sell it to the people. Well, it's not that the imperial court completely controls everything, but Big transactions are all controlled by the court, right?"

The court was silent for a moment. This method...has never been used before. At most, it is to collect taxes from merchants. In fact, it is so easy to collect taxes, and the money comes in quickly. Doing transactions by yourself...this...is very risky so big.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Tan also thought about whether this step was a bit too big, so he shrank back and stopped talking.

Liu Ju has been thinking just now, and now he has some thoughts, and when he looks again, his fifth child has changed from being high-spirited to trying to be invisible, and he can't help but feel a little headache for a while. After all, something has changed after going out for a trip. Looking at it now...isn't it still the same as before?

However, Liu Ju could somewhat see that Liu Tan actually didn't have a particularly complete idea about this proposal, and maybe it was just a flash of inspiration, but such a flash of inspiration caused Liu Che's thinking to diverge a lot.

Liu Che didn't force Liu Tanfei to come up with a complete plan. Seeing that today's court meeting was going to be delayed until the afternoon, Liu Che waved his hand and left the court directly, taking away his two sons by the way.

Liu Tan and Liu Ju followed behind him respectively, and Liu Che walked slowly with his hands behind his back and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​the mutual market?"

Liu Tan tilted his head and said: "When I was attacked before, I didn't know at the beginning that it was the Xiongnu who joined forces with Huhu, Che Shi and Jieguo to make troubles, so at first Little Wusun meant that there were often such horses in the Western Regions. Bandits, and the caravans that were robbed were all big men’s caravans, so I thought, instead of letting everyone venture out, it’s better to set up a market, so that everyone will be safe.”

Liu Che was a little surprised: "Oh? Are you for those caravans?"

Liu Tanxin said that you are right, but I can't say that, so he said very seriously: "I feel sorry for those taxes. They took the belongings of the big man out, not only failed to exchange them for the equivalent value of the property to pay the taxes, but also paid the tax. Cheap robbers!"

Seeing his heartbroken look, Liu Che immediately laughed, and then said: "You solved another problem today, tell me, how can I reward you?"

Liu Tan asked cautiously, "Is everything okay?"

Liu Che is not the parent of Xiong, of course he would not nod directly, so he just said: "Tell me first."

Liu Tan boldly said: "Then...then you allow me to marry freely."

After hearing this, Liu Che stopped and took a deep look at Liu Tan, while Liu Ju, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but look at Liu Tan and desperately gave him a wink to make him change his mind.

Liu Tan withstood the pressure, but didn't change his mind, and just looked at Liu Che expectantly.

If it were someone else, Liu Che would probably have turned his back on him right now, but when Liu Tan raised his head and looked hopefully at him with those round, dark eyes, he was so cute.

Liu Che is a complete face control, even for his son, the good-looking ones are easy to be favored.

The three remaining in the palace can be regarded as the three with the best looks among all his sons, so Liu Tan's appearance softened him a little, and he said lightly, "Don't mess around."

Liu Tan:? ? ? ?

What's the situation?

Why did Liu Che insist on his marriage so much?

Although the marriage of the children requires the consent of the parents, but when the children strongly resist and it is not for other sweethearts, the parents will also consider changing their minds.

After all, most parents in the world want their children to have a good life. What else is there to do in a marriage that is forced by a family but to make their children suffer after marriage?

He always felt that his marriage was weird, but Liu Ju stopped him when he wanted to say something, and then he heard Liu Ju say: "Father, it's getting late, I'll send my fifth brother back to the Palace of Suiyu. "

Liu Che waved his hands at them: "Go."

So Liu Ju directly dragged Liu Tan away.

After walking a certain distance, Liu Ju said in a long breath: "You are too courageous. This marriage has already been settled, and the six ceremonies have started to leave. Are you going to call off the engagement now?"

Liu Tan instantly had a bitter expression on his face: "Why did I ask for the divorce now? I didn't want to get married in the first place, no, Liuli started to leave? Why is it so hasty?"

Liu Tan's whole person is a bit bad, how many days have he been notified?Liuli started to leave?Even if the etiquette at this time is not as complicated as in the later dynasties, it can't be started in a few days, right?

Shouldn't we prepare various things like clothes first?These things have to be prepared for a while, right?The props used in the six ceremonies also need to be prepared, why are you in such a hurry?

Liu Ju looked at Liu Tan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This...hey, forget it, I shouldn't have kept this matter from you in the first place, do you still remember that the reason I sent you out of the palace was because you were said to be incompatible with the palace? ?”

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Yes, is the old matter brought up again?"

It's good to bring up the old matter again, won't you be afraid if you just give him a fief and let him become a feudal vassal?

Liu Ju responded: "It's not just that, you were suppressed by Li Guangli a few days ago, your father was worried, and sought many alchemists, and finally came to the conclusion that it is best for you to get married within a year, so that the influence can be eliminated. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will hinder my lifespan."

Liu Tan almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard it.

Just say that feudal superstition kills people!
