New Story of Lv Bu

While Lu An was experiencing turbulent waves in West Qiang Longqi City, Lu Bu's life in Chang'an City was not easy.

On May 16, at the same time that General Wei Gaoshun arrived in Linjing County to deal with the military affairs of the Western Expedition, another battle without gunpowder smoke also began in Chang'an City. This was the introduction of the new currency system. This day of the Chang Dynasty was grand and warm. The officials of the Three Officials, Nine Qings, civil and military officials finally heard their long-awaited good news, the emperor found him, and currently resides in Weishi County of Chenliu County.

"Guangluxun, the stabbing general Ma Zhong, the post-general, and the governor of Si Li, Chenglian, met with your majesty, and delivered three thousand stones, grain and grass, as well as the eight-treasure chariot, clothes, crowns, shoes and hats that your Majesty needed urgently. There are millions of newly minted Bingzhou five baht. At that time, the former chariot general Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei were also present. His Majesty is currently stationed in Weishi County, under the protection of Zhu Gongwei."

"Ma Zhong submitted my memorandum to His Majesty, indicating that the Three Officials, the Nine Qing Civil and Military Officials, hope that His Majesty will return to Luoyang City, the capital of Luang. His Majesty said that he needs to think about it carefully. At present, he will temporarily station troops in Weishi County of Chenliu County. , And then prepare to meet the princes there. Yilang He Yong has rushed to Weishi County and is trying to persuade His Majesty. The result is still unknown."

"Ma Zhong and Cheng Lian were the first Dahan officials to see His Majesty. His Majesty insisted not to return to Luang. The two of them had to **** His Majesty to Weishi County, and then went home. Dong Zhuo's rebellion dealt a great blow to His Majesty. Presumably he is afraid that once he returns to the capital city of Luoyang, he will become a puppet again. Wang Situ, the rest will be left to you. I wait for Hanchen, and still have to persuade His Majesty to return to Luang. By the first day of December, If your majesty has not yet returned, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, so he has to establish his filial piety and hold the emperor's son Liu Xi to supervise the country.

After Lu Bu said this, he looked around the civil and military officials. He believed that these smart people would definitely understand what he meant. Sure enough, Wang Situ played out loudly and said: "What Da Sima said is really sincere, and there are worries in your majesty's heart. I am going to go to Weishi County personally to persuade your majesty to return to Luang. If your majesty insists on not answering, I have no choice but to do so. Li Xiaohuai has the emperor's son in prison."

Wang Situ was extremely clever, seeing the political situation of the Chang'an court clearly and plainly. Now that the overall situation of Liangzhou has been determined, Xiqiang has been mobilized and the Western Regions have been stabilized. Da Sima is the number one prince in the world. The civil and military officials are not fools, knowing that working with the great Sima will be the founding heroes in the future. No one wants to annoy a rising power official for the sake of an emperor. What's more, Da Sima also gave the emperor half a year. If the sky is not on the way, who will blame?

As soon as Wang Situ spoke, the civil and military officials also quickly expressed their attitude: "Da Sima's words are very good! I have no objection!" The Han-Han Sect in Chang'an City, Ma Rixi and Zhao Qi are for the Dahan Jiangshan and Huyou Sect. Together with Xunyou, they have long been reused by Da Sima, and now they are too busy to hit the back of the head. The faction of Wang Situ, Huang Wan, Zheng Tai, Yang Zan, and Shi Sun Rui had already left Wang Situ and followed the emperor. He Yong went to Weishi County and Wu Qiong. Zhou Yan is dead, and there is only one lonely album left.

The prosperous Han sent the tree to ruin the Sun San, the Chang'an imperial court has decided the overall situation, whether the emperor returns to Luang, or the world’s son supervises the country, it’s just a card. If all industries are prosperous, the people are prosperous and healthy, and the civil and military officials have a future, as long as the descendants of the Liu family are the emperor, it is not the same thing who sits on the dragon chair? Moreover, Emperor Xiaohuai died terribly, and everyone felt guilty. If his biological son became the emperor, it would be regarded as the civil and military officials who gave a sigh of evil for Emperor Xiaohuai.

Jinshang was established by Dong Zhuo. Although it was coerced by Dong Zhuo, people had to bow their heads under the low eaves. But without Jinshang, how could Emperor Xiaohuai die? This is a statement from the heart that has been circulating in the Chang'an court for a long time, but the big guys know it well, and they only spread it in secret, without resorting to pen and ink. Now that Emperor Xiaohuai has a biological son, there is a powerful competitor for the emperor's position, and the Han-Han faction begins to quarrel again. It stands to reason that the elder son is Zhengshuo.

"Okay, this is the case, Wang Wei, Zhao Qi, you two will talk about the new currency system." Lu Bu made a decision on the matter of returning the emperor to Luan. Wang Wei and Zhao Qi were out of work. Each of them held a wooden box in their hands. Inside were three coins, one gold coin, one silver coin, and one copper coin. There was no perforation in the middle, and it was a whole round.

The two passed the three coins to the civil and military officials. After a while, when everyone had read it, Wang Wei cleared his throat and spoke. "Masters, these three coins were supervised by the former Shuiheng Captain Kangmanti Houye. The three coins are gold, silver and copper. Each has a face value of one yuan. Each official weighs one or two, nine Cost color, 10% is other alloys."

"If you use gold, silver and copper alone, one coin is too soft, the second has a simple casting process and is difficult to prevent counterfeiting, and the third cannot be made with clear patterns and vividness. Therefore, my two and Kanghouye decided to use it after consulting Dasima. The coin has two sides, the front is the head of Da Sima, surrounded by the words Dahan Chuping 2nd year, the back is the one yuan in official script, and the Great Wall is surrounded on both sides. There is no opening in the middle, yes. In order to be easily accepted by Western countries, this is the case with their coins."

Having said this, Wang Wei took a step back and signaled Zhao Qi to come forward. The following things are within the power of Da Sinong. Zhao Qi gave a light cough, and faced the hundreds of civil and military officials, he said loudly: "Masters, after Liangzhou Diding, the Western Regions will be reopened soon. Da Sima appointed the former Shuiheng Captain Kangmanty as the Protector of the Western Regions. , Is responsible for reopening the Western Regions. The Western Regions are heavy merchants. Lord Kang is a great merchant, and he has traveled thousands of miles to Yuan Mansion and Daqin. He has a reputation on the Silk Road and is the best candidate."

"The implementation of the new currency system this time, how to mint the three gold coins, how to preserve them, and how to integrate with the Western Regions and Western countries have all been improved in accordance with the questions raised by Kang Houye. What we have done is to implement Dahan's coins. Go to the Quartet and sell the silk, tea, porcelain, etc. of the big man to the Quartet to make huge profits."

"Speaking of this, let me insert a sentence." Lü Bu looked around the crowd with both eyes and spoke slowly. "Some people say that a gentleman does not speak profit, but only benevolence and justice. In my opinion, this is a silly talk, a jerk! A gentleman does not speak profit, where does the money for the people come from? Where does the army food, armies and armies come from? This is because standing and talking don’t hurt back! If someone says something like this again, let me take care of the salary!"

"Leave aside, just say that the grain transport fleet incident a while ago was only tens of thousands of stones of grain, and it could force the dignified Da Sinong and Da Sima Hu Cao Zhuan to squat by themselves! In addition, the Western Expeditionary Forces The food and the food and the food provided by the people in Liangzhou and Sili for a year make me so worried that I can’t sleep. If it weren’t for the savings of several years in Binzhou, I would be forced to wipe my neck!"

"It’s a good thing to stand upright, and the character of a literati is also a good thing, but before you scold someone, should you think about it carefully? After you change, how can you do this and how can you do better than others? Good? Admonishment is fine, or you can scold me by pointing your nose, and I can accept it, provided that the words are meaningful and reasonable. If you are blindly entangled with moral articles and do things with a blank eye, such a minister I No, it's not as good as a small official who feeds military horses!"

"My words are finished, you two continue." Lü Bu sat in a precarious manner, raising his hand and said.

"If you want to reopen the Silk Road, you have to reopen the Western Regions. You will give merchants the same treatment as the Dahan people. The Department of Agriculture and Agriculture has issued a law that gives equal treatment to the scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce. As long as they have made a significant contribution to the Dahan. , The children of merchants can also take the examinations for scholarships, enter the Imperial College, or recruit them as officials, or even enlist them!"

After Zhao Qi's words were said, an uproar was immediately set off among the civil and military officials. The crowd was talking in twos and threes, and the quiet court immediately became a vegetable market, with a lot of people and very lively. "I am against! Since ancient times, merchants have been low-level businesses. Since ancient times, they have emphasized agriculture and not business. Merchants have only profited. Over time, it will ruin the style of the generation of Han's writing!"

Sure enough, Ma Taichang was the first to jump out again. Looking at him, Lu Bu let out a sigh of relief. As long as Ma Taichang is the first to pick it out, things will be easy! In any case, Matthew is often a reasonable person. "Ma Taichang, let me ask you, if the emperor is in the Weishi County General Assembly princes, and the princes unanimously decide to impose economic blockades on Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Sili, how should they respond?"

"Impossible! Dignified emperor, how could it be so unbearable?" Ma Taichang shook his head like a rattle, flatly denying it. In his heart, the emperor is sacred and surpasses the ministers, and he will never compare it with each other. "Hahahahahaha! Let's not talk about the emperor, let me ask you, if this happens, do we have to rely on merchants to bring all kinds of materials? Without merchants, it will be the cornel as a condiment. No, I can't even cook rice."

"If Matthew always dared to guarantee that this kind of thing would not happen, I would not give the order of the merchant of Youli! Do not revise the law. But there is one thing, if this happens, how to deal with the merchant without it? Ma Taichang Why teach me?" Lu Bu's words were loud and loud, and he choked so much that Matthew was at a loss. He had never thought about these things.

"This?????? Weichen never thought about it and didn't know how to deal with it." Ma Taichang was sweating on his face and body. "That's it! It seems that Matthew didn't listen to what I just said, so I'll say it again! It is a good thing for a minister to stand upright, but it is a good thing to be able to do things with your heart, and to do well! This It is the premise. Others have a way, you say no, you object, no problem! Then you can come up with a better way! If you can't get it, don't stand up against it!"

For a while, the chaotic hall was extremely quiet, and everyone was thinking about what Lu Bu said.
