1.57 Borrowing chickens to lay eggs
When Gong sent His Majesty back to the palace, he followed Xiaohuangmen and asked, "Father, no matter how much money you save at home, your Majesty still owns it. What's the matter with my father and son, and what's the joy?"
Zhang Rang replied with a smile: "Don't you hear that 'borrowing chickens to make eels (eggs)'? Your Majesty has stored the wealth in my house. Although it does not belong to me, it can be used by me. Previously, Fufeng Mengtuo had no money to buy an official position, so he gave me a bucket of calamus wine and was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. Everyone knows one, but not the other."
"Is there any hidden truth?" Xiao Huangmen asked anxiously.
"I told him that it is easy to get the governor of Liangzhou for two thousand stones. However, His Majesty wants 20 million yuan to repair the palace, but it is difficult to get the slightest amount of money." Zhang Rang smiled and said, "He spent all his family's wealth just to see me. How could he get 20 million?"
"How did Meng Tuo answer?" Xiao Huangmen asked.
"What can he do? He looks embarrassed and kneels silently." Zhang Rang's tone changed: "Seeing that he can't pay for the palace repair, I said, 'Your Majesty knows that you are short of money, so you can repay it twice as much after taking office'."
Xiao Huangmen smiled at first, but then he thought about it and it was wrong: "Father, I have doubled my income for Your Majesty, what does it have to do with my father and son?"
"Crazy! Did Meng Tuo have it? When did you pay this palace repair money? How can Your Majesty know all about it? When Your Majesty asked, I said that Meng Tuo had paid in full. When he took office, he would send all the 40 million yuan..."
"That's 20 million people entered Ah Father's private warehouse!" Xiao Huangmen suddenly realized.
"One in and out, you can buy 20 million." Zhang Rang laughed in a low voice, "Now Your Majesty gives you another 100 million. I can sell the five governors again. In this way, borrow your Majesty's money and make my family's wealth. One million yuan will be replaced by two hundred million yuan. There is not much money left in the treasury, how can Your Majesty know?"
"A father is Gao Miao..." Xiao Huangmen couldn't help but be happy.
In the harvest, the Golden Water Pond.
This is the most glorious day for the chief clerk Jia Xu.
I thought that deep in the harvest, the small market of Jinshuitan was not famous. The lord never sent a post in advance. The market opened hastily and no one knew about it. Unexpectedly, all officials arrived!
After asking, he found out that Liu Bei only told his mentor the news, so that his mentor could arrange for the scholars to visit the Imperial College. Unexpectedly, when the court meeting was held, his mentor casually said it. So it was told from both sides that all officials knew it.
This shows that the lord's reputation is that Luoyang City is at one time.
But Liu Bei knew it well. The so-called "ritual exchanges" are heard. Today, the market is open, and all officials come. If there is happiness at home in the future, how could Liu Bei not go?
Liu Beizheng chatted with his mentors, Liu Jingshi, Chen Taichang, Zhang Sikong, Yang Situ, Cui Taiwei and others.
Suddenly, I heard a soft call from behind: "Xuande?"
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound. It was He Dajiang, who looked arrogant.
Liu Bei hurried forward and bowed first: "The great craftsman is here, and the brilliance will shine."
"Oh." Seeing Liu Bei greeting him with a smile, He Jin's expression suddenly calmed down a lot. Then he replied: "I heard that Jinshui opened the market, and a family came to congratulate him."
"Masters are working hard and I am grateful." Liu Bei bowed again.
Seeing that Liu Bei was very respectful to He Jin and had no taboos, Taiwei Cui looked at his colleagues beside him, and then looked at Liu Bei's mentor. His face was as normal, so he suppressed the words he had already said.
Zhang Sikong smiled and said, "The relatives of the Han Dynasty. The master craftsman is a relative of the foreign relatives. The relatives of the royal family are intersecting and cannot be treated by his colleagues. A few days ago, the master craftsman held a banquet in Tuyuan. Xuande took the imperial cart to go to the banquet in person. Later, the queen summoned him and praised him. This is the family affairs of the emperor. We should not discuss it, and there is nothing wrong with it."
The teacher nodded gently: "What Sikong said is very true."
The Censor Liu, who has always been distinct from black and white, also echoed: "We are all foreign ministers, and Xuande is a relative of the clan. Naturally, it is different."
Taiwei Cui rolled his eyes in his heart. After all, he was his own disciple after all, so he could do whatever he thought.
Liu Bei was talking to He Jin, and then heard a soft call: "Old slave, pay homage to you."
When I looked up, I saw that it was Da Changqiu who was also the Minister of Shangshu Cao Jie.
"Sir, please get up!" Before Cao Jie could kneel down, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "It's just a small matter of wealth, why should you come in person?"
Cao Jie looked up to Liu Bei with a merciful look, as if he was looking at his juniors.
Liu Bei felt warm in his heart. Although the inner officials were slaves, they were not family members. Otherwise, how could Your Majesty call Zhang Rang the "Father" and Zhao Zhong the "Father".
Taiwei Cui sneaked into his eyes to see his mentor and others, and he immediately understood.
Before Zhang Sikong could speak, he rushed to say: "Da Changqiu and the Minister of Shang Ling were slaves of the Tian family. When Xuande saw that he was old, he was also decent to reach out to support him."
Everyone immediately looked up at Taiwei Cui, who had not yet dispersed his bad reputation.
"Weikao's words are sophisticated and polite." It is rare for Yushi Liu to praise him.
The teacher hit the word: "Those who achieve great things do not care about the details."
"I am here to come, in addition to congratulations, I will also come to report my life." Cao Jie whispered.
"Can the seven people have already known about their origins?" Liu Bei was overjoyed.
"Fortunately, I did not humiliate my fate." Cao Jie replied with a smile.
"It's so good, so good!" The spring is deep and the sun is warm, and the single clothes are thin. If this continues, there will be chaos. How could Liu Bei not be happy?
Cao Jie said again: "Although there are many clues, they are also messy. Let me sort it out carefully and then tell the lord."
Liu Bei could afford to wait for this time. Then he said seriously: "If you have time, you should listen carefully."
As I was talking, I suddenly heard the sound of the Hushu.
The Jinshui City Gate slowly opens.
The small Jinshui Market is built around the Jinshui Pond. It is a circular shopping street. The mansions on both sides of the street were bought by Liu Bei at the market price and transformed into shopping malls. A wide gatehouse was built on the periphery of the intersection of the shopping street and the Farming Road. A plaque was hung high above the building. The plaque was covered with red silk, and the words were not seen, so I don’t know what it was intended.
This gate tower is the Jinshui City Gate and the Jinshui City Tower. It is used in one.
The door was closed before, and all officials were standing outside the city. Now they were open, and they were about to enter the house to look inside.
However, there was another Shu brocade belt in front of the door, with flowers and brocades, which was very happy. However, everyone didn't know the intention and looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei left the list. He first invited his mentor, then invited the three ministers and nine ministers to the gatehouse, and followed the ribbons in turn. Liu Bei invited He Jin and Cao Jie to join the list, standing beside him, separated from all the officials. Then a wine shop, Hu Ji, held a lacquered wooden pallet in his hand and walked behind the concierge.
There is a gold scissor in the plate. The body is cut red gold, the rope pattern is cast on the handle, and the round hole on the top of the ring is also tied with ribbons.
Seeing Liu Bei holding the scissors and put them on the ribbon.
All the officials followed suit. After Liu Bei gently cut the ribbon and split it. He Jin, who was standing with the three dukes and nine ministers, asked with a smile: "What does Xuande mean?"
All officials are also tilted.
Liu Bei put a piece of brocade head in his hand and smiled and said, "Cut off the colorful brocade head. It is called 'Good Color Head'."
"So that's it." He Jin was overjoyed.
Cao Jie looked at the broken brocade in his hand, looked up at the plaque covered with red silk, and asked, "I don't know what the meaning of red silk covers the plaque covered with red silk?"
Liu Bei handed a brocade rope to Cao Jiezhi, and then smiled and said, "Why don't you try it?"
Cao Jie took a step back, leaned back and pulled gently.
The red silk slowly landed on the ground. I saw the four big words "Jinshui Small Market" written on the plaque, which were written by my mentor.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "The red silk covers the plaque, and the words "silhouette" appear. He said, "Good cover (signature) head."
"Okay, okay, okay." Cao Jie also looked happy.
He Jin was even more distant and laughed: "It is said that Xuande is a Qilin from the sky, and his behavior is often unexpected. Only when a certain family knows it today, but only when they know it today!"
Liu Bei bowed and asked the guest to cut the ribbon and invited all the officials to come in.
