"Wang Yun's house collapsed again?"

In the palace, Liu Hong once again threw away a boring memorial with a strange expression. He asked Zhang Rang and Sun Zhang who were waiting on the side.

"Haha, Your Majesty, I haven't heard of Liu Cang pulling a cart into Luoyang recently." Sun Zhang glanced at Zhang Rang beside him and chuckled.

The harsh winter has passed, and in the spring of 184, Liu Hongju and the inner palace were together, and Zhang asked Sun Zhang to accompany him.

It was the time to go to court, and above the court, probably Liu Hong's mother, the eunuch Zhao Zhong stood beside the throne, and Zhao Zhong took over the court meeting instead of Liu Hong.

In the early years, officials might feel uncomfortable, but Liu Hong would send Zhao Zhong to preside over the court meetings from time to time when he was greedy for the harem. Over the years, the courtiers have become accustomed to it. The court meetings were mostly submitted in memorials, and the three princes urged Liu Hong to review them. In recent years, the three princes have chosen

Changed again and again.

"Your Majesty, it is really the fault of the old minister. In the early days, I only thought that Liu Cang had some special skills that could be used to control the children of the aristocratic family. Who knew that this son did not want to make progress? Such nonsense cannot be tolerated and should be punished.

"Zhang Rang lowered his head in fear.

"Haha, what do you have to do with Zhang Changshi, a naughty boy? They are all disrespectful people who bully the younger generation. Speaking of which, it seems that it has become rare to participate in Liu Cang's illegal memorials recently." Zhang Rang apologized, and Sun Zhang looked at him carefully.

Laugh out loud.

Zhao Zhong took over Da Changqiu and became the queen. The power in the harem became increasingly strong. Liu Hong also trusted him and often ordered him to serve in court. However, Zhang Rang dragged Sun Zhang to Liu Hong's side in front of him in order to check and balance him.

Zhao Zhong's power.

Wang Yun's house collapsed again, Liu Cang did it.

Even if there is no direct evidence, who in Luoyang today doesn't know that Li Cang can instruct badgers to dig up people's houses?

Liu Cang has been in Luoyang for three or four months. He first followed Zhu Hao on a disaster relief trip to the north bank of the Yellow River and brought in thousands of refugees in one trip. From then on, he was in constant trouble. Although he had no official position, there were frequent censors in the court who reported Liu Cang's lawlessness.

Some people said that Liu Cang misappropriated disaster relief materials to buy domestic slaves, and then a section of the wall of Wang Yun's courtyard collapsed.

Some people say that Liu Cang built it privately, and then the walls of Wang Yun's courtyard collapsed.

Some people say that Liu Cang did evil and drove the herders out of the village. Then, Wang Yun's house collapsed.

Some people said that Liu Cang seemed to be doing something illegal by hoarding armaments. Then, Wang Yun's house collapsed again.

someone said.

Anyway, Liu Cang has never had a peaceful life since he recruited refugees. After all, Liu Cang underestimated the degree of precautions taken by officials in the DPRK and China against eunuchs.

Although I don’t know if there is a relative behind the scenes, people continue to report Liu Cang. What’s a ‘coincidence’ is that as long as someone reports Liu Cang, Wang Yun’s house will definitely collapse.

Not to mention, after two or three months, Wang Yun's original luxurious mansion can now be regarded as a tourist attraction in Luoyang.

The courtyard wall was gone and the floor was covered with animal traps. Wang Yun went to Cai Yong to argue with him several times. Cai Yong scolded Liu Cang several times in public. Once he scolded Liu Cang, another house and pavilion would collapse in Wang Yun's house.

As a result, looking at Wang Yun's increasingly dilapidated mansion, Liu Cang, Wang Yun became famous in Luoyang for a while.

But it seemed that Liu Cang might be fine after Wang Yun's house collapsed, but the people who reported Liu Cang gradually disappeared.

"Father, there is no need to blame yourself. Now it seems that the boy's badger-raising skills are quite interesting. What happened this time?" Facing Zhang Rang and Sun Zhang's words, Liu Hong chuckled and asked with a little expectation.

"Alas, Your Majesty, forbid Zhong Lantai to report the old minister and mobilize hundreds of heavy armor officers to form a private army for Liu Cang." Zhang Rang sighed.

"Humph! No one reported the tax fraud?" Liu Hong's look of anticipation disappeared and he snorted dissatisfied.

Liu Hong was dissatisfied, but it seemed that Zhang Rang did not ask in detail about the deployment of heavy armor to Liu Cang, which could be regarded as absolutely illegal. However, this deployment of heavy armor was actually something Liu Hong had known about for a long time.

Liu Hong loves Liu Cang and is even willing to form heavy armored infantry for him?

Obviously, it's impossible. And the reason for all this is Zhang Rang's long-sleeved dance.

Liu Hong knew about Liu Cang's plans to engage in breeding, and even about his plans to challenge He Jin. Zhang Rang told Liu Hong these things.

Liu Hong expressed his support for this, because it is all money.

A relative does not gain power easily just by giving birth to a queen and a baby, or in other words, you cannot give birth to a baby that you should not have.

Liu Hong had no grudge against He Jin, and even a large proportion of the palace's financial resources came from He Jin's contribution.

He Jin contributed a lot of money to the royal family, but all of this money was given to the queen of the harem, He Jin's sister, Queen He.

Regarding this, Liu Hong expressed pain and happiness.

Liu Hong also knew that a large part of He Jin's wealth came from the poultry and meat trade.

Although He Jin donated wealth, Liu Hong still had to look at the queen's face if he wanted to withdraw it. How could someone else's money be as comfortable as withdrawing it from his own pocket?

So when Zhang Rang found an opportunity and directly suggested to Liu Hong that maybe Liu Cang could try to seize the trade route with He Jin, Liu Hong agreed without any hesitation.

In any case, he was not required to contribute money, and he would not suffer any losses whether he won or lost. Liu Hong was well versed in the ways of doing business and felt that this deal was a good deal.

If Liu Cang wants to recruit refugees, then let him recruit them, and you can figure out how to find money and food yourself. Zhang Rang said, I, please do your best.

The head tax for Liu Cang's servants and servants, alas, although it is a bit of a pity, but I can't bear to let my children trap the wolf, so I will waive it for now. I will make up for it later when I make money.

As Zhang Rang said, if someone reports Liu Cang for concealing and evading export taxes, he can use this to attack those aristocratic families and punish Liu Cang. He also wants aristocratic families from all over the country to check the local population.

Liu Hongshen thought so, but unfortunately, no one mentioned this aspect.

And when Liu Cang broke the pot and obtained some money directly through Zhang Rang to purchase a large number of piglets and lambs, Liu Hong also turned a blind eye to the thousands of pigs and sheep that Liu Cang produced.

What does it mean to turn a blind eye? You have to pay taxes when raising pigs, you have to pay tax when you kill pigs, and you have to pay tax when you sell pigs. If you keep them but don’t sell them, you still have to pay taxes.

Just like what His Majesty Liu Hong asked at this time, inspired by the oral tax, Liu Hong very much hoped that someone would report Liu Cang's failure to pay animal tax and Zi tax (property tax).

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because if this is the case, Liu Hong has already prepared the punishment for Liu Cang, but after punishing Liu Cang, he can also use it to make He Jin punish local livestock raising

The taxes in this area will be verified again for collection and payment.

It's a pity that the court officials still reported trivial things.

Hundreds of armored stomachs? He agreed. After all, Liu Cang obviously wanted to make a living as a butcher. With so many animals raised, it was not surprising that some powerful people would use extraordinary means to deal with him. It was also reasonable to recruit some heavy soldiers to guard the animals.

Not to mention the cavalry and infantry, the pawns are divided into heavy and light. The light pawns lack iron armor, and the heavy pawns are well armed. One can be equal to ten and win in battle.

It has to be said that Zhang Rang achieved all the conveniences that Liu Cang had hoped for, and even exceeded the standard.

There is no sneaky and dark element in it at all. It's just so upright and open that people don't know whether to feel sad or happy.

His Majesty Liu Hong, who gathered the wealth of the Central Plains and inspired to restore the glory and prosperity of the country, had a good plan.

Now in Liu Hong's heart, Liu Cang probably belongs to the boy who works for him, and everything that Liu Cang possesses belongs to him.

After all, everything about Liu Cang was arranged by him and Zhang Rang. Of course, everything belonging to Liu Cang belongs to him.

"Well, the day before yesterday, He Jin sent another 20 million yuan to the harem. The Queen Mother was very happy and invited He to have dinner and visit the garden."

"Then Liu Cang is also incompetent, and his efforts were in vain. I'm afraid he can't even sell the animals he raises, and the money he spends can only go out but not come in. He really failed me." Annoyed that no one mentioned the tax verification matter, Liu Hong

Sighing with displeasure.

Zhang Rang was silent, and Sun Zhang said softly: "Your Majesty, time is still short, it is less than half a year."

"Alas~" Liu Hong looked up at Sun Zhang and sighed again.

There are rumors that Liu Cang has nowhere to sell even if he raises livestock. Liu Hong's early expectations for Liu Cang's livestock have long been gone.

Boringly, he looked through the memorials before him. As a volume of memorials was spread out and he glanced for a moment, Liu Hong's expression suddenly changed in surprise.
