my brother champion

Chapter 129 What?I have frivolous sambi?
"Sang Hongyang? Why, have you been very close to him recently?" Emperor Wu of Han frowned slightly.

The ancient emperors disliked the formation of cliques for personal gain by their subordinates.

why?
Because the ministers are getting closer and the power is gathered, it will affect the imperial power.Emperors of dynasties such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and Zhu Yuanzhang, the courtiers under them were all loyal, but they had to be killed if they should be killed!
Huo Guang was not afraid when he heard Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's question, but said calmly: "It's not that I want to get close to Sang Hongyang, but that I like to make money. Once I think of a way to make money, this Sang Hongyang Da Nong came over after smelling it."

"When paper is produced, it is like this."

"It's the same when opening a restaurant."

Hearing what Huo Guang said, a smile appeared on Emperor Wu of Han's face.

At first.

Huo Guang was willing to hand over his papermaking skills because he and Sang Hongyang coaxed Huo Guang into coaxing.

but.

Thinking of this papermaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately became unhappy, and scolded: "Sang Hongyang, this guy has a lot of bad ideas. He said that paper can reach about [-]% of the national tax revenue, but now a year has passed. The country’s wealth increased by paper is not enough to cover the fur of the official Yantie camp!”

indeed!

Ever since Huo Guang told Sang Hongyang how to make paper.

The production volume of this paper can keep up, but the sales volume is still not enough.

Don't look at the sales in Chang'an City are very good.

But after leaving Chang'an, no matter how cheap the price of paper is, they can't sell much.

Without him.

It's just that there are too few people who read and write in this era, most of them are hard-working people, and there are very few people who can get in touch with the six arts.

and so.

Facing the complaints from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang said lightly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the sales of paper are mainly for promotional reasons, and have little to do with Sang Da Nong."

however.

Emperor Wu of the Han waved his hands and said, "Since you recommend Sang Hongyang so much, then call him to come and have a look."

then.

Here, Sang Hongyang, who was enjoying the banquet, was summoned by His Majesty.

Strange to say.

Sang Hongyang was summoned suddenly, as if he had prepared in advance, the old fox answered all the questions asked by His Majesty.

At last.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was moved by what he said, and began to interrogate him about Qian Xing, saying: "Hongyang, you said that this money is going on, and if those people don't return the money, what if you borrow it?"

There are Lao Lai in modern times.

Were there no such despicable people in ancient times?

The answer is obvious, yes.

and.

Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was such a person.

Sang Hongyang immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you borrow money from the money bank, you must first review it to see if the other party has the ability to return it in the future, and then transfer it!"

But Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, still frowned and said, "Then how can we guarantee that others will borrow money from money banks?"

Sang Hongyang continued: "This point has to do with the house built by Huo Yilang."

"House? What kind of house?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked confused at the moment.

then.

Huo Guang reminded: "Your Majesty, you forgot. Some time ago, I asked you to circle four places outside the city, which were used to concentrate on building houses."

Emperor Wu of Han frowned and asked, "How is the house built?"

Huo Guang replied: "The house in the north is currently being repaired. It's just started. The scale is still small and it hasn't been finished yet."

Emperor Wu of the Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what does this money line have to do with houses?"

Sang Hongyang replied at this time: "Your Majesty, houses are too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them. Therefore, the money bank can allow these people to buy houses in advance. The price is that part of the money must be paid back on time in the future."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still didn't understand, so he asked again: "The people can't afford the houses built by Huo Yilang, why should they buy them?"

"This..." Sang Hongyang was a little at a loss for words. After glancing at Huo Guang, he said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che: "Your Majesty, it is better to ask Huo Yilang about this matter. After all, the house builder doesn't understand, these are Huo Yilang Made it."

then.

Emperor Wu of Han's eyes turned to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang had no choice but to fool Sang Hongyang's words last time, and fooled Emperor Wu of Han again.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still puzzled, and asked: "In this way, if I set up a money bank, won't all the money I borrowed be in your hands?"

Good guy.

Sang Hongyang's words in front of the relationship are all in vain.

Huo Guang immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the money is not coming to me, but waiting for the buyer to pay back the money. The money I earn is only the money I sell for the house. After all, I hired a group of farm workers to work You have to pay!"

"As for money making money, it is waiting for the buyer to repay the loan."

"Generally speaking, after deducting the principal loaned out, the money bank makes the same amount of money as the minister sells the house."

It is really not an easy task to fool His Majesty.

In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was right.

The money lent by the money bank went into Huo Guang's pocket.

It's just that the relationship has changed slightly.

What does merchant mean?To put it simply, he is a second-hand dealer, a middleman!
Everyone hates middlemen, why?
Because the price difference earned is too much.

Qian Xing acts as a middleman, but he is a middleman who can provide money.

Huo Guang and the like, among them, became manufacturers.

After listening to Huo Guang's explanation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly, and said, "Huo Guang, what you said is very good, but the problem is that the matter of money and houses can't be completed overnight, right? Paper is even more difficult, and this distant water cannot save the nearby fire!"

Doubts about Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang immediately replied: "Your Majesty is wise, this matter cannot be completed overnight."

"But it doesn't matter."

"It can be promoted slowly. It's just right. Isn't the government-run policy of Yantie Iron has its drawbacks?"

"You can slowly transition from the salt and iron official operation to the money line policy. In this way, your majesty will not have to worry about the lack of money in the treasury, and you don't have to be afraid that the moths will hollow out the salt and iron!"

now,

Emperor Wu of Han's face was uncertain, and Huo Guang couldn't figure out the emperor's mind.

After looking at each other with Sang Hongyang, they didn't dare to say anything.

At this time.

Standing by the side, the Hussar General who had been silent all this time spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, and it is time to marry a wife. Look?"

Only then did Emperor Wu of the Han come to his senses, and quickly waved his hand at Huo Qubing, saying, "Oh, go, go!"

The words fall.

He said to Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang again: "You guys go out too, I will think alone."

at this time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty missed his former Da Nong Ling Yan Yi again. If he was there, he would definitely analyze the matter of Qian Xing.

Even Emperor Wu of Han didn't like it.

But what Yan Yi said always had some truth.

But the knife has already been cut down, and it is useless to regret it!

Huo Guang and the others couldn't see what Emperor Wu of Han was thinking about. Seeing His Majesty's words, everyone had no choice but to salute: "No."

Stop talking.

They all left the house.

After exiting, Sang Hongyang patted Huo Guang on the shoulder and said, "Huo Yilang, wait a moment, Sang wants to ask, didn't you say last time that we have to wait for my Han army to fight with the Huns cavalry before fighting with Your Majesty?" Did you mention the matter of Qian Xing? Why did you bring it up in advance again!"

Hearing Sang Hongyang's question, Huo Guang shook his head and sighed, "Sang Da Nong, do you know why you have been serving as a servant by His Majesty's side for more than 20 years before you became a Da Nong Order?"

Sang Hongyang didn't understand and shook his head immediately.

Huo Guang continued: "Because you don't know how to adapt, one moment and another."

"Previously, there were no problems in the Yantie official camp. The court's finances were sufficient, and there were no problems. Of course, we can't mention it."

"But now there are some problems in the Yantie official camp."

"Of course I can mention it again."

"Sang Danong, with your intelligence, you should be able to understand what Ben Yilang said, right?"

When Sang Hongyang heard the words, he nodded quickly and replied: "So that's the case, Huo Yilang is really smart, and Sang feels ashamed."

Huo Guang smiled faintly, and said: "Sang Da Nong is absurd, I will accompany my brother to pick up the relatives later, so I won't accompany you."

Sang Hongyang immediately spread his hands and said, "Okay, getting married is a big matter, Huo Yilang, please go ahead!"

"Ah."

Huo Guang nodded.

After separating from Sang Hongyang, he first came to the lobby and met his cheap father Huo Zhongru.

At this time, Huo Zhongru still had a slumped expression, as if he was very annoyed at why he talked nonsense and offended His Majesty.

This time.

The future of the two sons was ruined by him.

After Huo Guang came over.

Huo Zhongru hurriedly asked: "How about it, Guang'er, is Your Majesty going to punish our Huo family? It doesn't matter if you punish the father alone, I'm afraid it will hurt you two brothers!"

Seeing Huo Zhongru so frightened.

Huo Guang didn't go around in circles, he just waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, father, Your Majesty has no intention of punishing the crime."

"Call me in to discuss something."

"Of course, I can't tell you anything. After all, it's hard to reveal these things."

When Huo Zhongru heard that His Majesty did not intend to punish the crime, he immediately felt relieved.

Then he kept praising His Majesty as the wise king Yunyun.

such a pity.

His praise, His Majesty couldn't hear it.

actually!

Huo Zhongru didn't offend Emperor Wu of Han in the first place. Although his majesty pretended to be Pingyang Hou and was exposed by him, he didn't say anything bad, and even asked his majesty to go to the Le Restaurant for a banquet without knowing it.

As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he got angry later.

It was purely because Huo Zhongru didn't know which nerve was wrong, and he actually mentioned the Yantie official camp before His Majesty.

The life in Chang'an City is magnificent, so the problem of the Yantie official camp does not affect the people above.

But the life of the lowly people in Pingyang County was ruined by the Yantie official camp.It costs a lot of money to buy farm tools, and you may not be able to buy good products. There are various restrictions on buying salt.

Huo Zhongru, after all, is still a small official in Pingyang County!

Still troubled by it.

Not to mention other powerless people.

Huo Zhongru criticized the Yantie official camp, but he still sprayed it in front of the instigator, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Your Majesty can not be angry!
Fortunately, those who don't know are innocent, His Majesty didn't think about dealing with Huo Zhongru's crimes.

After comforting his cheap father a few words, Huo Guang said: "Father, I won't tell you anymore, my brother is urging me to accompany him to meet his relatives!"

"Well, let's go."

Huo Zhongru's voice trembled.

seem.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he still felt a little uneasy.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Huo Guang found his elder brother. At the same time, he asked someone to bring a custom-made eight-carrier palanquin, ready to go to this place for fun, and to welcome Sun Ying back.

A wedding in the Han Dynasty?
There is no rigid requirement of carrying a large sedan chair eight times, not even a sedan chair.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that the term sedan chair came into being.

but.

The prototype of the sedan chair still exists, and it can be traced back to the distant Xia Dynasty.

"Shangshu" has said that it has been carried on for four years, and it will be published along with the mountains.

What does four years mean?

Ma Qian of Taishi Company once explained in "Historical Records", saying that "traveling on water takes a boat, traveling on land takes a car, traveling on mud takes a sled, and traveling on a mountain takes a ji", and this ji is the prototype of the sedan chair.

The eight-carrying sedan chair that Huo Guang prepared was naturally for his sister-in-law who had never been married.

He and his elder brother, the champion Hou Huo, were going to be sick, so Le was naturally riding a horse when going here.Although Huo Guang is not good at all the six arts, riding a horse is not a big problem.

When Huo Guang accompanied Dr. Yu Shi to the country of Zhao, Huo Guang rode there on horseback.

Not to mention now.

The two brothers each rode a horse, and their handsome appearance won the attention of all the young girls on Chang'an Street.

Han Dynasty.

Girls are different from women in other dynasties, they are very open.

Naturally, he is also courageous.

Huo Qubing didn't care about these gazes, but turned his head to Huo Guang and asked: "What's the matter with this sedan chair, Huo Guang, we don't go on mountain roads, why do we use it? Is there such a rule for marriage in the Han Dynasty?"

Huo Guang explained: "Brother, although there was no regulation before, since we have, there has been."

"hey-hey."

"Not to mention anything else, brother, let me tell you, the means of transportation I invented will become popular in Chang'an and even other places in the future."

Why is the sedan chair, a human-powered means of transportation, popular?

Because the ancient city was too small.

Even an imperial capital like Chang'an only has 3 to [-] people living in it.

The dignitaries, including His Majesty, used horse-drawn carriages to travel.

Things like horse-drawn carriages can be used for long distances. Traveling in the city is sometimes crowded, and it is not even as fast as walking.

The sedan chair came into being naturally.

Huo Guang wanted to sell the sedan chair as a means of transportation, so the first thing was to promote it.Undoubtedly, Hussar General Huo Qubing's wedding was undoubtedly the best publicity for the sedan chair.

and!

Hearing about such things as carrying a big sedan chair eight times, it will give you more face.

A group of people came here to have fun.

According to the pre-planned plan, the elder brother got off his horse, entered the restaurant, and first talked to the guests who were having dinner at the Le Restaurant.

then.

Pick up Sun Ying and send her into the eight-carried sedan chair prepared by Huo Guang.

just.

in the process?
Huo Guang didn't expect that his old mother was crying.

Huo Guang was dumbfounded by this, and asked, "Mother, brother is getting married, why are you crying?"

however.

Mrs. Huo explained: "Everyone is going to cry. When a bride gets married, there is no one in her natal family who doesn't cry. Although Sun Ying was lonely since she was a child, but after marrying from us, then I, Mrs. Huo, will naturally cry for her mother." Down."

Forehead? ? ?
There is such a saying?

Huo Guang didn't know, so he shook his head and said: "Mother, then you cry slowly, my son is going back to the General's Mansion with my brother."

But at this moment, Mrs. Huo grabbed him and said, "Wait!"

Huo Guang turned his head, frowned slightly and said, "Mother, what else do you need?"

Mrs. Huo looked sullen at this time, and said: "Mother asked you, what happened to Sang Meiren, the daughter of Sang Danong? She told Mother that you were contemptuous of her!"

"What? Am I belittling her?"
