Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 174

Xu Bugu responded quickly, and asked again: "Mr. Jun, when shall I go back?"

"Huh?" Yi Cixie looked at Xu Bugu, "Why, you want to go back in a hurry?"

"No, no," Xu Bugu dared to say that he wanted to snatch him back, and explained, "Even if Da Shanyu is coming, it's not convenient for us to be here, isn't it?"

"Understood, you go down first, I will take care of this matter myself."

Seeing the taciturn Yi Cixie, Xu Bugu retreated helplessly.

Time passed little by little, and Yuan Xi was using the system to buy some books about later generations every day.

Then how to learn to be more centralized and allow the people to live a better life.

Now it's only the Three Kingdoms era, Yuan Xi doesn't think about constitutional monarchy, capital and the like, he just wants to strengthen the centralization of power so that there will be fewer wars in the land of China.

So on the one hand, he stepped up the development of crops, promoted crops, and made the people full of food and drink.

On the one hand, strengthen the weakening of the major families.

There can be a family, but the power must not affect all aspects, or even control the court.

For example, during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang played himself to death in order to deal with the aristocratic family.

Yuan Xi would never allow such a thing to happen.

The book "Looking for Qin Ji" caused an uproar, not only was it sold very well in Ye City, but it was also hard to find in other cities.

Although Yuan Xi asked everyone in the novel club to continue writing the following chapters, the taste was not as pure as Yuan Xi's copy.

Therefore, after writing a few more chapters, Yuan Xi gave up the plan to let them continue writing after raising the speed of everyone in the novel club.

Now "Looking for Qin Ji" is completely written by him.

However, Yuan Xi was too lazy to write every day, so he asked Lu Qiling, who knew the basics, to come and copy it every day.

However, as "Looking for the Qin" became popular, pirated copies soon appeared.

Yuan Xi didn't take much care of it at first, because even if there were pirated copies at this time, they were still manuscripts, and the price was extremely expensive.

He quickly discovered something was wrong, and it didn't take long for many pirated versions of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" to appear on the market. Although they were a bit crude, they were not comparable to the printed version published by the novel agency.

But the price was much cheaper, and immediately robbed the novel agency of a lot of business.

After this Novel Club found out, they immediately jointly reported it, found Fushou, and asked her to say something in front of Yuan Xi to crack down on those pirated editions.

After hearing Fushou's words, Yuan Xi knew that many new professions were born on the basis of "Looking for Qin Ji".

Many people live by "Xun Qin Ji", and some even made a fortune relying on "Xun Qin Ji".

If piracy is cracked down, many people will lose their lives.

This made Yuan Xi, who had firm confidence in cracking down on piracy, hesitate.

"Let's talk about it in a few days. I'll go out to investigate first."

Yuan Xi called Jia Xu, and the two dressed up, ready to go out for inspection.

Naturally, Yuan Xi was deeply disgusted by the piracy, but at this time, he had no awareness of genuine piracy.

If he doesn't care, or if many people can rely on it for a living, he doesn't mind letting it go.

Of course, it still needs to be investigated in the end, and the market determines his final plan.

On the bustling streets of Yecheng, crowds of people stood shoulder to shoulder.

Yuan Xi and Jia Xu tried their best to avoid the crowd, but they were still too crowded.

Especially Jia Xu, who was chubby, was really uncomfortable being squeezed.

"Looking for a teahouse for tea?"

Jia Xu begged Yuan Xi eagerly.

Yuan Xi casually pointed to the nearby teahouse and said, "Here, the teahouse is crowded, and there may be some people reading novels."

Jia Xu hurriedly squeezed forward, and Yuan Xi followed the trend.

This is a pain for the guards who are secretly protecting. Cao Hualong and Cheng Bianjiao commanded the guards, and put the whole teahouse, both openly and secretly.

It was clearly winter, and Yuan Xi was still sweating when he entered the teahouse.

"Do you think it's time to move the capital?"

Yuan Xi lamented that there were many people in Yecheng, and said casually.

Jia Xu was taken aback, how could he dare to answer such a big question.

"Why did my lord make such a statement?"

Outside, Yuan Xi asked his subordinates to call him son.

"There are too many people, and Luoyang is already recovering. I think we can go to Luoyang."

In fact, Yuan Xi wanted to choose Jixian as the capital, which was the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties in later generations.

But Ji County is too remote and backward now, and if you want to move the capital there, the civil and military officials will definitely not agree.

Although he has the final say in this world now, if there is a large-scale opposition, he can't insist on doing so.

Otherwise, it is the way of self-destruction.

But Luoyang is not bad, even though Luoyang was wiped out by Dong Zhuo.

But after all, his status is orthodox, and he has slowly recovered his vitality during this period of time.

Although it looks desolate now, as long as the capital is moved there, it will soon reappear the grand occasion of Luoyang in the past.

"Luoyang?"

Jia Xu thought about it, but he was not very happy to go there, because he felt that he was doing well in Yecheng.

For a person who made his home around the world in his early years and wandered around, he really likes the stable life now.

"Is Luoyang too dilapidated?" Jia Xu asked cautiously.

He didn't know whether what Yuan Xi said was true or not, but if it was true, he might have gone to buy a house earlier.

"It's broken, but fortunately, it's in an orthodox position."

When the two came to a table, the waiter came up to pour white water.After asking what the two wanted, they quickly left.

"Look at the people outside. There are still too many people. Ye City is not a long-term capital. If it expands, it will still be too troublesome. It will waste the people and money. I don't know how much the finances will spend."

Jia Xu couldn't laugh or cry, with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and the help of Yuan Xi's family, the court's money was much more than in previous years.

Although a lot of messy taxes have been removed, even the agricultural tax has been removed.

But Yuan Xi has produced too many things, and the money is all owned by the imperial court, which is equivalent to a monopoly by one family, so the imperial court is very rich.

And because of the removal of the agricultural tax, Yuan Xi advocated that all the ministers should be diligent and thrifty, and cut their salaries in half.

Some unnecessary officials were also removed from the bureaucratic ranks, which greatly reduced administrative expenses.

The result of this is that officials from all over the country work hard, and many officials have been laid off, but the efficiency has not decreased at all.

Everything is going in a good direction.

All in all, Jia Xu felt that Yuan Xi had a lot of money.

This is a person who is kind to the common people, but stingy with civil and military officials.

It's not that there were no troublemakers, but Yuan Xi rebuked them back with one word.

If you don't want to do it, give up your seat and go to farm. From then on, no one dares to say anything.

Almost no one complained.

Yuan Xiyue felt that moving the capital was a good idea, "Look at the fact that we have moved the capital. The Luoyang palace is ready-made, and it is better than the one in Yecheng. Just tidy up a little bit."

"As for the downfall over there, don't worry about it. After we go, we don't need to pay for it. Aristocratic families from all over the world, rich businessmen and gentry will naturally go over and help us build Luoyang beautifully."

At this time the tea was served, Jia Xu poured Yuan Xi a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "My lord is right, this way we can save a lot of money."

For Yuan Xi's calculation, Jia Xu was convinced.

There is no way, Yuan Xi is not good.

In the past dynasties, who built a new capital city, didn't they first make it beautiful and then live in it?
Fortunately, Yuan Xi didn't want anything, just cleaning the ready-made palace.

As for the rest, you can figure it out yourself.

It's really not possible to be so downcast.

But those rich people really went, who wouldn't work hard to build their own residences?

"Young master really intends to move the capital to Luoyang?"

Jia Xu knows that she can't change anything, the only thing that can be changed is to let people buy a house first.

He is not a rich man.

Yuan Xi punished officials for corruption very severely.

But the corresponding fields will be rewarded, and rewards will be given occasionally.

Ensure that officials will not be too poor.

Although I don't know what the officials think, but it is an indisputable fact that the common people of the Han Dynasty are more and more supportive of Yuan Xi.

This cannot be changed by anyone.

If an official wants to seek benefits for himself, he must first pass this hurdle.

Did Yuan Xi not do well?
Um, bad?

Then you go and ask the people all over the world whether they agree or not.

"Just thinking about it for the time being, maybe." Yuan Xi smiled.

Thinking of what happened today, he looked around, and he really saw a pirated novel on a table.

There were four people at the table, and one of them was bragging to the other three.

That book was obviously Fatty's.

Jia Xu also saw the situation over there. Seeing the noise in the teahouse, he whispered, "Shall I go over and check?"

"No need, the family is all together, what's the matter with you in the past?"

Jia Xu nodded. Jia Xu really admired the fact that novels can make so much money.

He never thought of gathering a group of poor, jingle-dangling and sour literati, and then opening a novel club and paying them salaries.

Before, everyone felt that Yuan Xi was messing around.

But now the income of the novel club is much higher than that of the officials.

At least on the surface.

Many people and officials wanted a piece of the pie, but when they thought that Yuan Xi was behind the novel club, they could only give up this idea.

As long as Yuan Xi is around, they can only watch Yuan Xi make money.

Although Yuan Xi didn't stop them, didn't say that they were not allowed to make money, but who really dared to make trouble.

What if Yuan Xi is really upset and loses his job?
Yuan Xi's reputation is now mixed. Those who say good about him, some who support him, especially young people, simply regard him as a god.

Those who lost their money and couldn't enjoy the great blessings of being an official also scolded Yuan Xi countless times in their hearts.

As for the major aristocratic families, which one is not a man with his tail between his legs?

Who doesn't know that Yuan Xi has been cracking down on disobedient aristocratic families, how many aristocratic families have been secretly eliminated in these years.

For this general who looks very kind but has bloody methods, who is not cautious?
The two looked at it for a while, and found that the fat man took out a few more books from the cloth bag next to him.

He seemed to be talking about something, and the three of them were excited by what he said, and they would reply some words from time to time.

At this time, on the second floor of the teahouse, Wang Yi stood at the entrance of the corridor, staring down for a long time.

Not long after Yuan Xi came, she discovered Yuan Xi.

She subconsciously returned to the room, dressed carefully, and then prepared to go down to greet Yuan Xi.

But after dressing up, Wang Yi, who was always in a hurry, hesitated.

At this time, she was standing at the entrance of the corridor and peeping for a while.

"What is the girl looking at?"

Seeing that Wang Yi hadn't left and couldn't find what she was looking at, Wang Yi's maid couldn't help asking.

"Oh it's all right."

Wang Yi noticed that Yuan Xi had been staring at Fatty's table not far away, and she became suspicious for a while.

She knew the fat man, the bookseller.

Recently, I have made a lot of money by selling books.

Why did Yuan Xi pay attention to him?
Just as she was thinking, she saw Bu Lianshi come in from the main entrance, and then walked towards her slowly.

Wang Yi's cheeks were hot, and he hurriedly retreated.

"Sister, I brewed another good wine today, go and help me taste it."

Entering the room, Bu Lianshi took Wang Yi and chatted excitedly about her drink.

"is it?"

Wang Yi was absent-minded, and said casually, "Is this the third flavor you brewed?"

"That's right. From now on, it will be royal wine, which can make a lot of money, but there will always be people who don't like a certain taste, so I will make a few more, and there will always be something they like to drink."

The step trainer is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is beaming when he talks.

There was a nice blush on her pretty face.

"That's great." Wang Yi said subconsciously.

"What's good, you come with me, and you don't come."

The step trainer giggled and joked twice, and found that Wang Yi's expression was not right.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

"Oh, it's okay." Wang Yi rolled his eyes, but still lowered his voice, "Your fiancé is here."

"what?"

The step trainer froze for a moment, his face turned red, "He, where is he?"

"It's just downstairs."

Wang Yi looked funny, she probably knew the relationship between Bu Lianshi and Yuan Xi.

Although Yuan Xi never took that step, Bu Lianshi did not dare to marry.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be a big girl.

Therefore, Wang Yi would joke that Yuan Xi was Bu Lianshi's fiancé when nothing happened.

The step trainer smiled and said that his life was hard, but he could see it.

The step trainer ran to the entrance of the corridor, his face was red, he ran up without a lady just now, so he wouldn't be seen, right?

There were many people downstairs, and the step trainer quickly found Yuan Xi.

Looking at this man who haunted him so much, Bu Lianshi felt a bit of resentment.

After staring for a while, she also noticed that Yuan Xi seemed to be looking at Fatty's table.

"Sister, what is that table for?"

Bu Lianshi turned around and found that Wang Yi had arrived behind him at some point.

"That fat man is a book seller, but the others didn't know it." Wang Yi explained.

"Bookseller?"

Bu Lianshi suddenly understood something, "Is it the book dealer who copied the novels of the novel club?"

"What novel club?"

Although Wang Yi could read and write easily, he was not interested in novels.

I don't know what novel club it is.

I only know that there is a book "Looking for Qin Ji" that is very popular recently.

But other than that, she didn't pay much attention.

Bu Lianshi briefly explained, "The novel club was run by the general, do you think these people will offend the general?"

"No way?"

Wang Yi didn't think about this at all, "The general is rich in the world, how can he have trouble with a book dealer?"
