Chapter 388 Ban Xian is really a righteous man(1/2)

The Wang family's mansion is very lively. Since Wang Li was killed and Wang Ben was demoted to a commoner, it has never been so lively.

There are always some powerful and powerful people who think that they have seen the direction of the court and want to take a gamble and have an opportunity to make a fortune.

This time, they heard that Wang Jian destroyed Xiang Liang and made great contributions. So they felt that Wang might be reused again.

When Wang Jian came back and visited him, it seemed a little too late, so these people arrived at Wang's mansion in advance to meet Wang Ben.

After Wang Ben was demoted to a commoner, he lived in the mansion in simplified life. In his spare time, he just reads and writes.

Originally, the people in Xianyang City had forgotten him, but now everyone suddenly remembered him. After all, Wang Jian was not here, so it was the same for paying homage to Wang Ben.

But Wang Ben ordered to close the door and thank the guests, but no one saw him.

This made people who wanted to make friends with Wang. In addition to being depressed, they became more eager for Wang.

People close the door, which shows that there is no shortage of friends in the court. If they open the door to welcome guests, they can invite pigs and dogs to chat, which makes them seem to have no identity.

So these people didn't care whether Wang Ben was concerned about whether he was concerned about it, and they all sent a greeting and handed in a gift.

Near the Wang family mansion, several servants were secretly observing all this. They wrote down the names of each visiting and reported it to their masters.

These servants were sent by Wang Wan, Li Si, Chunyu Yue and others.

These important officials in the court are working together to sort out the power of Wang's family in Xianyang City. I thought it had been sorted out, but I didn't expect that another group of people will pop up now, which is really busy.

…………

The powerful and powerful gathered in front of the Wang family's gate to express their intention of making friends. Seeing that Wang Ben had never responded, they left together.

As a result, when they walked halfway, they suddenly heard a deafening drum sound coming from the front.

The powerful and powerful rushed over in excitement and found that it was the exiled immortal building.

Today, there were lights and decorations in front of the Exiled Immortal Tower, and I found several people to beat the drum. I had a sharp eye and found that the man who beat the drum in the front was clearly the former master of beating the building.

Gao Jianli looked desperate and felt that beating drums like a reckless man on the street was really a disgrace and even more uncomfortable than death.

Some powerful people asked in confusion: "Mr. Gao, you have the best skills in the world, why did you suddenly start beating the drum?"

Gao Jianli sighed and said listlessly: "Gao owes money from the exiled immortal. If Gao ordered Gao to do whatever he wanted."

Everyone present looked at Gao Jianli with sympathy, this strange man who had signed a contract for more than a thousand years...

At this time, a large red silk hanging down from the second floor of Shangjun Villa, with words cut from white paper pasted on it. The red background and white characters were particularly eye-catching: To celebrate the quelling of the rebels in the court, those who drink ten glasses of wine in the Exiled Immortal Tower today will give you a cup.

After seeing the cloth strip, everyone sneered.

One of the powerful men stroked his beard and said, "Give him a cup of ten cups? Don't you buy ten cups first?"

Another laughed and said, "The exiled immortal always has this trick, and he has hollowed out his mind and wants to make money from us."

The other man nodded and said, "What a pity, we have dealt with the exiled immortals too much and will never be fooled again."

Everyone around them nodded: "That's right, the banished immortal wants to make money from us. Humph, it's hard. I'm intrigued, so I can go and have a drink. If I drink ten glasses of wine in a row for the sake of giving one, wouldn't that be too stupid?"

Just as he was talking about this, another banner was hung on the second floor: "To celebrate the quelling of the rebels in the imperial court, those who spend more than 100,000 yuan in the Exiled Immortal Building today can get a coupon. With this coupon, drink, eat, listen to books, and shop, and enjoy a 10% discount. It is suitable for all Exiled Immortal industries."

After looking at the banner, the court officials laughed: "The banished immortal is not giving up, he wants to deceive people again."

They were smiling, and a group of ladies came over. After looking at the banner, they entered excitedly.

A group of ladies came, looked at the banner, and went in excitedly again.

The courtiers stopped laughing, and they found that among these noble ladies were their wives and their daughters.

Someone muttered: "My money has been made available to Huai Guzi, the shameless man..."

That night, Li Shui, Cang Fu, the boss’s wife, Niu Du, and a dozen accountants, kept settled the accounts until dawn.

Just based on my income of one day yesterday, it was equivalent to a month before.

The boss's wife said with admiration: "The exiled immortal is really a god."

Li Shui sat on the chair exhausted and said in pain: "I'm dizzy. I hate money the most in my life."

Several other people repeatedly said, "We understand that if it weren't for the sake of the people of the world, the exiled immortal would be too lazy to make money."

Li Shui looked at them with relief: "It's good that you understand."

He stood up, moved his hands and feet, and said, "It seems that this kind of activity is good, and if you want to do it in the future, you have to do it more. For example, pacifying the Xiangliang can be designated as the "Prevention Festival". At this time of year, you have to celebrate it. The discount for only one day is too short, for example, ten days."

The calf's eyes lit up and she said, "Sir, why didn't you come all year?"

Li Shui cursed: "Idiot, do you have to cut the leeks before they grow up? You always have to give them time to save money. If you offer discounts every day, can they still feel there are discounts?"

The calf said it was.

Li Shui said again: "Tomorrow, I will post the income and announce it to the public."

Everyone in the room was a little silent at this moment.

The boss lady whispered: "Exiled Immortal, when doing business, you should avoid showing your wealth. If we do this, are there some... some too much ostentatious?"

Li Shui waved his hand: "I am a man from heaven, what's wrong with the shaking? Who dares to object?"

After thinking about it, the Cangfu and his friends thought it was very reasonable. The exiled immortal has always been so arrogant, so he still lives well? Anyone who opposes him is basically dead...

After dawn, Cangfu indeed posted yesterday's revenue as Li Shui ordered. He also announced that there will be discounts next year, and it will be seven days.

Xianyang City was immediately discussed and it was instantly known to everyone. Soon, Li Shui was called to the palace by Ying Zheng.

After Li Shui arrived in the palace, he naturally walked towards the study, and the little eunuch took him to the Political Affairs Hall.

After Li Shui entered, he found that 80% of the officials had arrived.

Li Shui was a little puzzled: "Today is not a time for court discussion, right?"

Ying Zheng said with some headache: "All the ministers are here to sue you, Huai Guzi. There are too many people, and my study station can't be opened, so I have to come to the Political Consultative Hall."

Li Shui looked at the courtier innocently: "What did Xiaoxian do?"

The courtiers were all indignant, but before they could speak, Li Shui found Li Xin standing in the crowd.

He walked over quickly and grabbed Li Xin's clothes: "Brother Li, you are following them to make fun of you? You touch your conscience and say, I have cheated others too much, have I cheated you?"

Li Xin laughed dryly: "Brother Huai, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to complain, I'm here to watch the fun."

Ying Zheng's head hurt even more when he looked at these two live treasures.

Chunyu Yue next to him looked at Li Shui, looking as if he was disappointed.

Li Shui said with a smile: "Dr. Chunyu, have you sued me?"

Chunyu Yue sighed and said to Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, I don't want to be a villain who slanders others behind my back. But you're too much."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and said lightly: "You posted a piece of paper today? You have made a lot of money by promoting you with great fanfare?"

Li Shui replied calmly: "That's right, my exiled immortal building has been booming in recent years."

Chunyu Yue pointed at Li Shui and said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, you have also seen it. The exiled immortal is simply not ashamed of this, but rather proud of it. If this continues, how can the people be so popular? How can I be stable in the Qin Dynasty?"

Ying Zheng gave Chunyu Yue a comforting smile, then looked at Li Shui seriously: "Huai Guzi, you are too chaotic in this matter. As a banished immortal, you are not going to make money by yourself, but you even have to promote it with great fanfare. Isn't this throwing all your face?"

Li Shui touched his face and looked at the court officials present in confusion: "In the past, I, Huai Guzi, have lost my face. Aren't you all gloating? I've been so heartbroken for so many days?"

The courtiers stared at the top, but they didn't say anything.

Li Xin next to him said with a smile: "Brother Huai, I know this."

Li Shui asked curiously: "What the hell is going on?"

Li Xin pointed to a courtier and said, "For example, Brother Ma, yesterday Mrs. Ma spent a lot of money in your exiled immortal building. While there was a discount, she drank wine, ate vegetables, and listened to books. She was very happy. She got more than a dozen coupons. She used this coupon to buy more things, and went back to settle the score. It was very cost-effective, so she was very happy."

"Brother Ma was heartbroken about this. It was not that he was reluctant to spend money, but he didn't want you to make money by Brother Huai. Therefore, he scolded Mrs. Ma severely."

"Who knew that as soon as your notice was posted today, Mrs. Ma was immediately confident and said to Brother Ma that there are so many people in Xianyang City who have entered the Exiled Immortal Tower, which shows that it is nothing wrong to enjoy it while you are discounted. Is it only you who can understand, but so many people don't understand?"

"And Mrs. Ma heard that there are discounts in the year and can't wait to continue participating."

"Brother Ma was depressed and thought about it and came to the palace to complain. However, the reason why he couldn't bear to spend money was a bit unspeakable. Therefore, he was embarrassed by the suing Brother Huai and slandered the court."

The court official turned red and said, "General Li, you are speculating randomly, and the subordinates didn't think so."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Not only do you think so, but the court officials present think so. But... only Dr. Chunyu."

Li Xin sighed: "My sister has died. She likes the most lively during her lifetime. If Brother Huai, you come to Xianyang a few years ago, she will be much happier."

Chunyu Yue's expression became dim after hearing this. However, he soon came to his senses and knew that today was here to stop Huai Guzi, not to mourn his deceased wife.

So Chunyu Yue bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, what the exiled immortal has done has aroused public anger. He not only lost his face, but also the court. After all, the title of exiled immortal was personally granted by Your Majesty."

"In addition, the exiled immortal bewitches all the ladies and spends a lot of money. Although the law does not prohibit it, after all, private morality is a loss."

"The most serious thing is that the promotion of exiled immortals has promoted the trend of extravagance. Since ancient times, all dynasties have governed the country with diligence and thrift. Such behaviors of exiled immortals may cause the people of the Qin Dynasty to decline."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, Dr. Chunyu's words make sense. You must not do this today."

Li Shui said: "Your Majesty, I think there are some problems with Lord Chunyu's words."

Ying Zheng frowned, but said, "Let me tell me."

Li Shui looked at Chunyu Yue and asked with a smile: "Do you dare to ask Dr. Chunyu, why does the extravagant trend lead to the decline of people's livelihood?"

Chunyu Yue was stunned and looked at Li Shui like an idiot: "Why should the banished immortal ask clearly for such a simple truth? How difficult is it for the people to grow a bucket of grain and a woman to weave a piece of cloth?"
