If anyone in the world knows Liu Hong best, then Zhang Rang would say he is second. Absolutely no one can say he is number one, including Liu Hong’s mother.

Faced with Liu Hong's very implicit mention of Liu Cang's acquisition of armaments and livestock, Zhang Rang had not yet spoken, but Sun Zhang, who was beside him, spoke hesitantly and took the lead.

"Your Majesty, these cattle and horses are closely related to people's livelihood. Let's not talk about wild wolves for the moment. King Dongping also raises eagles and tigers. Who can live with these livestock? Feeding animals with livestock can easily attract criticism."

"From the old slave's point of view, King Dongping made a profit from his expedition. These livestock should be turned over to the army. But the key point is that King Dongping has not led an army since his expedition, and all his troops are Qubu. If he is ordered to turn it over, he will still need to

I wish I could find a reason."

Sun Zhang spoke softly and looked at Liu Hong, but his eyes were very clearly looking directly at Zhang Rang, as if he was observing Zhang Rang's attitude, and he seemed to be hinting that it would be more appropriate for Liu Hong to have Zhang Rang speak up about this matter.

Sun Zhang seemed to be giving Liu Hong an idea. When Liu Hong agreed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

There is nothing wrong with anything else. What are you doing, you idiot, for bringing up Qubu's affairs? If it weren't for Liu Cang only taking over Qubu, would I still need to go to such trouble?

"Sun Zhang, what do you think of the Za family?! If you want to take care of His Majesty's worries, go and talk to Liu Cang yourself!" Zhang Rang seemed to be annoyed by Sun Zhang's glance, frowning and scolding him.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, aren't we all thinking about His Majesty? King Dongping has a strong temper, which is well known to the world. How dare the Za family dare to speak in front of him." Sun Zhang shook his head with a smile, but also seemed to be sarcastic Zhang Rang.

The two of them were talking to Liu Hong thoughtfully. Seeing Zhang Rang staring at Sun Zhang with a cold light in his eyes, Liu Hong frowned and glared at Sun Zhang.

"Okay, don't talk too much if you don't dare to talk about Xiang. Liu Cang has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, why do you, an old guy like you, still want to take the opportunity to stir up trouble?" Liu Hong said dissatisfied with Sun Zhang and gave Sun Zhang a wink as he spoke, telling him not to do anything.

Provoke Zhang Rang with this matter.

"How dare this old slave make trouble in front of His Majesty? This old slave really wants to share your Majesty's worries. Don't blame me, Mr. Zhang. Don't blame me. Haha.

"Sun Zhang looked nervous, and then smiled sarcastically at Zhang Rang.

"Alas~ Your Majesty, unless this old slave has the intention to protect Liu Cang, this boy is arrogant and arrogant. He has already wanted to compare with Ding Yuan when he heard about it."

"This time I am offering money to Your Majesty again. Even if there are some problems with the way of the cattle and horses in his hands, how should I negotiate with him?" Zhang Rang sighed, seemingly lazily arguing with Sun Zhang.

"Don't worry, father, and don't listen to Sun Zhang's nonsense. How can I take away some of that boy's livestock? This time he has harvested a lot of livestock. I am just worried that it would be a pity if the cattle and horses are not well fed." Liu Hong chuckled, his expression

But it was cold and in need of more.

"Your Majesty, you are right." Zhang Rang retorted, and Liu Hong raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty is the co-owner of the world, let alone Liu Cang. Even if we are here today, it is all because of His Majesty's grace." Zhang Rang continued, Liu Hong nodded imperceptibly, and the smile on his face was natural.

A lot.

"Liu Cang has a shallow foundation. He has made a fortune for the first time and can be said to have become rich suddenly. At such a young age, he rarely attracts covetous attention from the outside world. If those cattle and horses can be taken care of by His Majesty, I will really feel at ease." Zhang Rang continued to sigh, Liu Hong

The smile is stronger.

"Haha, Liu Cang has reached the age where he should start a family, and he always has to take care of some trivial matters at home to practice. Haha, my father really cares about his children and grandchildren, how can I have the time to look at that kid all the time." Liu Hong laughed.

.

Zhang Rang knew Liu Hong, and Liu Hong also thought he knew Zhang Rang. As soon as Zhang Rang's voice changed, he knew that Zhang Rang still had his best interests at heart.

Moreover, Zhang Rang is right in what he said. Wealthy wealth should not be kept for a long time. Rather than being deceived by outsiders, it is better for me to take care of it. This is what an honest man said. Liu Canghe should have been taught more by Zhang Rang.

Liu Hong waved his hands as if he didn't want to mention the property anymore, and as expected, Zhang Rang continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, there are many people who know the details of Liu Cang's actions. According to my experience, your Majesty cannot accept his offer, lest it attracts rumors and criticism."

When Zhang Rang said this, Liu Hong nodded thoughtfully. Selling officials and conferring titles also has the reputation of being a businessman. If you don't go on an expedition and don't provide disaster relief, you just get the war profits and personal wealth in vain. Who will sacrifice your life in future expeditions?

It's hard to say to the outside world, but it will inevitably attract criticism from the military. Even Liu Hong would not dare to break military rules easily.

"My sincere words are not bad." Liu Hong nodded in agreement.

"Haha, Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang, I heard that Li Wenhou was killed by a general under Liu Cang's command?" Liu Hong waited for Zhang Rang to speak quietly, and Sun Zhang interrupted again, attracting Liu Hong's attention and causing Zhang Rang to frown.

"Well, according to the battle report, Liu Cang is considerate of his subordinates." Liu Hong said casually, and Sun Zhang pursed his lips, bowed and spoke softly with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, if you want to say that Luyuan in Luobei has a population of several thousand, and it is necessary to establish a village and set up a community, it is actually necessary to create a new county."

"Since the person who killed the general is under Liu Cang's command, not only will he be rewarded with the position of county magistrate, but he can also inspire the morale of the army." Sun Zhang's eyes were bright, and Liu Hong's eyes lit up.

Yes, if a new county is created, Liu Cang will bring the livestock back to Luyuan, which will also be a huge sum of money. Horses are private property, and cattle slaughtering is prohibited, and taxes can be levied at that time.

"No! Sun Zhang, do you want Liu Cang to separate from His Majesty?" Liu Hong felt good, but Zhang Rang scolded him.

"Your Majesty, Liu Cang is still the King of Dongping after all." When Liu Hong frowned, Zhang Rang bowed and said softly.

".

"Liu Hong was silent.

It was so bad that he forgot about this. Liu Cang was the king of Dongping. The king of Dongping, who had no food to eat, now set up a county to collect taxes in his home? It seems a bit excessive.

If he does this and doesn't get angry easily, I'm afraid it should be said that he has a very big conspiracy. This is simply forcing others to jump in, right?

To say that Liu Hong now values ​​Liu Cang much more than before, he can fight, drive away animals, and make money. The key is to be on his side. He doesn't want to offend Liu Cang because of this kind of thing.

"Humph, you old slave will only cause trouble!" Liu Hong felt embarrassed for a moment and turned his face to scold Sun Zhang.

Sun Zhang seemed to have discovered the problem, and when he saw the cold light in Zhang Rang's eyes, he couldn't help but explain in a panic.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of provoking. King Dongping has done a great job in quelling the rebellion. What do you think, I think, why not increase Luyuan into King Dongping's food court?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh?" Liu Hong was stunned. This Sun Zhang was really bad-tempered. He panicked about some things. The battle was not even finished. What kind of food was added? But what kind of food was added?

Seeing Zhang Rang hesitate to speak as if he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, this method is feasible."

"Oh?" Liu Hong questioned.

"Your Majesty, Liu Cang is not bad at it, but we should win over him more. In fact, from my perspective, Luyuan does not have the conditions to raise a large number of livestock, but we can set aside a fiefdom for him in Funiu Mountain."

"Since he likes to raise ferocious animals, and he chose a dangerous area where people cannot live, he should be given a place to let the animals live. It is closer to Shanglin Garden, and he is allowed to put his livestock in Shanglin Garden." Zhang Rang hesitated at first, but then

The more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became.

"Your Majesty, Liu Cang has no foundation and should be focused on imperial affairs. In fact, Liu Cang doesn't like worldly mediation. With his nature, he must understand that if these livestock are placed in Shanglin Garden, they are not all his own property."

If Zhang Rang pointed out something, Liu Hong suddenly showed joy again.

"also.

"Liu Hong seemed to want to say something, but at this moment Zhang Rang seemed to have a sudden inspiration. When he got to the point of excitement, he spoke very fast. Before Liu Hong could speak, he continued.

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am troubled by the sudden cavalry prepared by Liu Cang. The boy is young, and I am afraid that he will be instigated and cause trouble."

"Didn't He Jin agree that His Majesty would reorganize the Southern Army? Allocate one battalion of the lower army to Liu Cang, and let him first create a battalion of assault cavalry."

"Isn't he clamoring all day long to practice Yulin? Then let him practice! When he goes out to fight, when he enters, he will station troops in the forest. They are His Majesty's private soldiers. What about Yulin, Hu Ben, etc., give him a name

That’s it.”

"It saves him from messing around and causing trouble. Those war objects, in the end, it is better to arm the royal tiger and old slave to feel at ease." Zhang Rang sighed, and Liu Hong's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Oh~ I'm lucky to have my father do the hard work for me." Liu Hong sighed, stood up and patted Zhang Rang's shoulder affectionately.

"Father, let me think about it carefully, and I will leave this matter to you. Please remember, don't cause disharmony in the family. I don't care about the sudden appearance of horse armor," Liu Hong ordered.

"Here! Your Majesty is magnanimous. If you think about that boy, he will definitely understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts. If that boy dares to act recklessly, I will go to Cai Yong to teach him a lesson." Zhang Rang said with a smile.

"Haha, how could you bully the royal family like this? Don't blame me for helping Liu Cang. Haha~." Liu Hong laughed heartily, and Zhang asked Sun Zhang to laugh with him.

In a hidden place, Zhang Rang and Sun Zhang made eye contact, and their eyes were filled with joy as usual.
