The new policy decided at the court meeting was held as if it were notified to the emperor Liu Xuan. After Liu Xuan responded, the officials went to ponder the details of the new policy. Youdao thought about it day and night and came up with a killing list.

.After the officials made some trading operations, all that was left was to sharpen their knives and fight against the pigs and sheep.

Li Xiaofei in Luoyang was also affected. Li Xiaofei was not a pig, but the palace could hardly buy food, and the food was getting worse and worse. Xiao Qian was suspicious at first that she had offended Xiang Xiaoyu, the manager.

He quietly sent a few maids to follow Xiang Xiaoyu to some farms that provided food for the prince. As a result, the owners of several farms were arrested by the government, leaving no one to take care of the property. Xiang Xiaoyu had to drive a carriage to the countryside by himself every day.

Bought vegetables and meat to supply the palace.

Liu Jian didn't manage these ordinary affairs, but he was frightened when he heard that all the merchants who provided food, carriages and horses to the palace had been arrested. Liu Jian thought that the world was at peace now, and the court wanted to deal with powerful vassals like him.

, so he hurriedly called Xiang Xiaoyu, Li Xiaofei, and Murong Ling to discuss.

Xiang Xiaoyu smiled first: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is overly worried. Now the entire west of the Taihang Mountains and north of the Han River are stationed by Chen Jiajun, and the court does not dare to touch you. What they are dealing with now are merchants and farmers all over the world. Those merchants

He was arrested because the New Deal stipulates that all business people must first pay 30,000 guan to the court to obtain a business certificate. Anyone without a business certificate will be operating illegally and must be arrested and punished. These vegetables and meat sellers must

How can a small merchant driving a carriage obtain this business certificate if he can't even get out not just 30,000 guan, but even 300 guan?"

Li Xiaofei exclaimed: "I thought we were profiteers by exchanging some pots and pans for cattle, sheep and horses in Dushi Castle. Compared with them, we are really good people. No wonder they got rich."

Xiao Qian blushed and said, "I didn't expect my dad and the others to look so ugly. Wouldn't this cut off the livelihood of these small traders?"

Liu Jian looked at Xiao Qian: "Princess, can you be kind and help these people? I want to eat the food they bring. I have been so depressed these days."

Everyone looked at Xiao Qian, and Xiao Qian thought for a while: "Okay, now if I do some good deeds, it can be regarded as accruing some virtue for my father and the others. The prince also has to love and protect the people, right?"

Murong Ling was the first to applaud: "Okay"

Li Xiaofei was overtaken by Murong Ling and could only point at Murong Ling and said: "Princess, if this person can say a good thing, he must be good and cannot be better. I have nothing to say."

Xiao Qian was also flattered: "It seems that I really did the right thing. Since Mr. Murong said it well, then it depends on you, Li Xiaofei, to do it well. It is inconvenient for the prince to come forward in this matter. You and Xiang Changshi go to the treasury to bring some

I used money to make cars and go to the Luoyang government office to help those poor traders get their work done."

Li Xiaofei pulled Murong Ling: "He must be counted, otherwise this matter will be difficult to handle. Those officials sent by Jinling must have wine, sex, wealth and good fortune to do good things."

Murong Ling shook it off: "What does it matter? I was going to go."

Everyone laughed, and then went to take the money and ran to the Luoyang government office. Xiang Xiaoyu first praised Xie Hua, the prefect of Luoyang, and then entertained Xie Hua and other officials. At the banquet, each person was given another

Thousands of dollars, plus Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei taking turns toasting, everyone was drunk and satisfied.

When he went to pick up the certificate the next day, Xie Hua behaved like an upright and upright official, saying that personal relations should be private relations and official business should be official business. Those small traders could be released, but the certificates could not be issued. No matter how Xiang Xiaoyu tried his best,

Xie Hua only released the person without issuing a certificate, but Xiang Xiaoyu and the others kept pestering him. Seeing that he could not get around it, Xie Hua had to say: "The imperial court means that all transactions can only be done by people designated by the imperial court. Is it possible that you, Prince Han, are so brave?"

Do you want the court to think that King Han wants to confront the court?"

When Xiang Xiaoyu and Li Xiaofei heard this, they hesitated, but Murong Ling said: "Prince Han's Mansion has this strength", and then stared at Xie Hua fiercely, Xie Hua was shocked, Murong Ling's eyes were too fierce

, as if he would draw his sword in the next second.

Xiang Xiaoyu still wanted to explain, but Li Xiaofei immediately supported him: "Luoyang is also the land of King Han, and the entire Guanzhong is filled with soldiers and horses led by the prince. Mr. Xie, do you think this King Han's palace has the strength?

"

Xie Hua didn't expect that these two people would dare to threaten him so nakedly, so he forced himself to say: "You two, don't let the princes be in a position of disloyalty and disloyalty. You can't take back what you said."

At this time, Xiang Xiaoyu also understood that he had to be tough, and he also faked a few smiles: "Master Xie, if you want to continue to be an upright official, we will let you live forever until the court sends another obedient person who collects money.

Come. Anyway, the imperial court will not gather troops and horses to conquer the King of Han just for the sake of a prefect. Mr. Xie, am I right or wrong?"

Xie Hua slumped in a chair. It had always been them who blackmailed and threatened others, but now they were clearly telling him to take his life, but he still knew clearly that no matter how rampant these three people were, they would not kill him on the spot. He just returned

While thinking about it, he heard the clatter of the sword coming out of its sheath. Xie Hua jumped up in fright, but Murong Ling's sword had already been returned to its sheath. Xie Hua patted his chest, and all his clothes were torn to pieces.

He was naked in the lobby. All the government officials and guards rushed over in a hurry. Murong Ling turned around and waved the scabbard, and all the government officials and guards flew out and fell to the ground.

Xie Hua covered his body and hid under the table. Li Xiaofei bent down and said with a smile: "Today we used a knife to force Master Xie to collect the money. Should Master Xie accept it or not? If not, the three of us will live in your government office."

Well, if my brother Murong is in a good mood, just keep waiting. If he is in a bad mood, he will break you into pieces and replace you with someone else."

Xie Hua sat on the ground with tears in his eyes: "I'll take it, I'll take it. I'll give you the certificate you want. If you have anything to do, just send someone here. You'd better not come, I can't afford to offend you."

Xiang Xiaoyu sighed: "Mr. Xie, couldn't it have been like this a long time ago? Now I've lost my dignity, so why bother?"

Xie Hua cried: "You who have fought in the war are just like robbers and bandits. I have never met a master like you in Jinling. I should not have come to Luoyang City. It is really difficult to be an official without spending money."

of"

Murong Ling glared at him again: "Remember, don't mess with people who have been in war!"

After a lot of hard and soft tactics, they finally rescued more than a dozen small vendors who supplied food, carriages and horses to the palace and obtained business certificates. These ten people came to the palace to express their gratitude and immediately returned home to Liu Jian.

The portrait is hung at home.

Also affected was the Black Flag Khanate in Mobei. Because the troops and generals guarding Dushi Fort had changed again, they had to send gifts again. Unexpectedly, the guard Lu Wan who came this time was a

The people who refused to accept the gifts were originally planned by the aristocratic families to let each family take turns to come to Dushi Castle to make a fortune, but after Lu Wan of the Lu family came, he felt that there would always be hidden dangers in selling weapons and armor to the Black Flag Khanate, so he decided not to do so.

Willing to sell again. The Black Flag Khanate suddenly lost its source of weapons and armor, and newly recruited soldiers could only be trained with wooden sticks.

Pajaqili was worried, so he convened everyone to discuss countermeasures. At this critical moment, Hu Gao was outside and had not come back. Pajaqili waited for a few days and had to discuss with the generals first. White Wolf King Juwu Zhi proposed to capture the monolith directly.

Many generals agreed to kill Lu Wan and let Liang Guo replace the fort. But Dunhulu expressed opposition: "We want to storm the Dushi Fort, and many people will die. If we defeat it, we will gain more than we have lost, let alone such a

If we come to alert the Liang Kingdom, not only will there be no business to do, but it will also attract the Liang Kingdom's army to go deep into Mobei. By then, our vitality will be severely weakened, and more than a year of rest and recuperation will be in vain."

Everyone was at a loss, and Huchaer, the captain of the left, proposed to communicate with other passers and give gifts to bribe the guards, but Pajaqili strongly opposed it: "This method is not worth the gain. The people in the Central Plains are too cunning. There are too many officials who accept gifts and do nothing.

Sometimes he defrauded us of a lot of gold and silver."

Ke Dunhulu looked at the generals and said, "I think it's better to wait for Liang Guo to change, and let's continue to Dushi Castle to do other business."

Right Captain Altair added: "What Monolith Castle came in to sell us were some junk goods again. We will lose money by trading like this. We must make changes."

At this time, someone outside the tent shouted loudly: "Yes, it's time to change!"

As soon as everyone heard that Hu Gao was back, they all looked at the door and saw Hu Gao coming in with three people from the Central Plains.

Hu Gao went straight to sit under Pajaqili and Hulu. Pajaqili and Hulu were about to greet Hu Gao, but Hu Gao waved his hand: "You don't have to be like this, Khan and Ketun. My old bones are still fine.

What Lieutenant You just said was very good, our Black Flag Khanate must change."

Pajaqili asked: "We have been doing this for hundreds of years, what needs to be changed? We only need to solve the transaction in Monolith Castle now."

Hu Gao picked up an iron arrowhead and asked, "Did the ancestors of the Great Khan use iron arrowheads?"

Pajaqili said without hesitation: "At that time, there were only arrowheads made of bones. Where were the iron arrowheads?"

Hu Gao smiled: "Isn't this a change? Our current methods can no longer solve the current problems. We must change. Only change can we be strong."

Hu Lu nodded: "The Imperial Master is right. It is very slow for us to get the news now, and our transactions are also controlled by others. We have been defeated every year in the past few years, so we have to change."

Hu Gao looked at everyone: "Actually, the reason why we are passive is that our kings and generals only care about their own interests and do not really obey the orders of the Great Khan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they all displayed their military exploits to show their loyalty.

Hu Gao listened patiently to what they said and sneered a few times: "Then why did the Great Khan order that only five sheep can be exchanged for one pot, but you have twenty or thirty sheep fighting to change it? The Great Khan asked you to take turns on the grass.

When you go out to graze cattle, you have to eat a piece of pasture until there is no grass growing and it is all sand and soil before you stop? How many people in the entire Khanate really listen to the orders of the Great Khan?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Pajaqili took the opportunity to show his strength: "I usually strictly control you all for the sake of the entire country. If you are not willing to listen to me, I will do this."

What’s the point of sweating?”

Unexpectedly, Hu Gao immediately scolded Pajaqili: "The Great Khan cannot lead by example, how can he command the people? As the Great Khan, you are robbing other people of horses, competing for pasture and water sources, and the spoils are also unfairly distributed. How can everyone obey you?"

Pajaqili was about to get angry, but Hulu said: "The imperial master is right. People in the Central Plains have a saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The Great Khan is the king of a country. If he cannot take the lead, all his subjects will be afraid.

I won’t believe what the Great Khan says. The Great Khan can only convince others by setting an example himself.”

Pajachili asked: "I have already done the thing, how can I convince everyone now and swear to God?"

Hu Gao touched his beard and said: "Great Khan, the people of the Central Plains have stories about taking wood to establish trust in ancient times. Why don't the Great Khan follow suit? The Great Khan can get a barrel of strong fire wine, and then summon the thousands of people in the royal court. Who can

After carrying the barrel of wine to the river, the Great Khan rewarded him with his golden helmet, so that he could win the trust of the people again."
