Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Liu Bai got angry and flicked Liu Rong'er's smooth forehead.

"Look back and learn how to do business with Wan'er. The so-called rarity is the most precious. After the streets are full of my words, it will really become a waste of paper!"

Butler Liu Rong'er is a good hand, but she doesn't know anything about business.

Even if Liu Bai explained, she still didn't understand.

Liu Bai was a little thankful that his cheap father didn't let Liu Rong'er do business.

Otherwise, the Liu family would have been defeated by this silly girl long ago

"Ask Wan'er if you don't understand, and call those three guys along the way!"

Of course Liu Rong'er knew who the 'three guys' Liu Bai was talking about were.

In response, he immediately opened the door and walked out.

Chapter 152: Kill me!am i reading material

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chumo, and Chai Lingwu walked in happily.

You push me, I grab you, there is no right way.

It's just that when they saw Liu Bai's face, their hearts skipped a beat, and they secretly thought something was wrong!

These days, Chai Ling has learned a lot about martial arts, and he was the first to speak: "Liu Yexuan still has a debt to settle."

While speaking, he ran away without looking back.

Liu Bai didn't stop him either.

Liu Yexuan is one of the biggest businesses in the family. As the shopkeeper of Liu Yexuan, how can Chai Lingwu be short of money?

He cast his eyes on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian shook his head, laughed a few times, and said, "I haven't finished the homework that Mr. Wang arranged for me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

While talking, he slid along the wall and moved out bit by bit.

Apparently, he didn't do it either.

Thus, Liu Bai's eyes fell on Cheng Chumo.

He picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Tell me!"

Cheng Chumo chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and said, "What Brother Liu wants to hear, I will tell you!"

Liu Bai glanced at him sideways, and said flatly: "It's still too late to admit my mistake."

Cheng Chumo knelt down with a 'plop'!

He hugged Liu Bai's thigh and howled, "Brother Liu, I know I was wrong. I should never have stolen your writing and sold it!"

Liu Bai kicked him one by one, but this guy was like a dog's skin plaster, no matter how he kicked him, he couldn't get rid of it.

"Xu Chu!!"

Liu Bai yelled, and the next moment, there was a bang, and the door of the study was pushed open.

Xu Chu's huge figure was overwhelming.

"Wow"

Cheng Chumo was so frightened that he bounced off the ground!

His martial arts are top-notch among his peers, and he is not much weaker than the generals in the court, but in front of Xu Chu, he is still as weak as a three-year-old child.

"Don't ask brother not to come over!"

Cheng Chumo gestured wildly with both hands.

Xu Chu stretched out a hand expressionlessly, and lifted him up without hindrance.

"beat!"

Liu Bai squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

Ping pong pong

After a cup of tea, Cheng Chumo fell to the ground with his mouth, nose and eyes slanting, his hair was messed up like a chicken coop, as if he had been spoiled by someone.

Liu Bai said bitterly: "What's wrong with learning, you become a thief by imitating others, are you short of money?!"

He was really angry.

He didn't feel sorry for those obsolete words.

The only thing he couldn't tolerate was that Cheng Chumo had learned to steal!

Cheng Chumo lay motionless on the ground like a dead fish.

Liu Bai snorted coldly, and he bounced off the ground again, laughing with him, and said, "Brother Liu, I also have my own difficulties!"

"Don't talk nonsense, hand over the money first!"

Liu Bai probably figured it out, if one of his words was really worth a hundred guan, at least Cheng Chumo would have sold tens of thousands of guan!

Cheng Chu muttered silently for a long time before saying in a low voice: "The money is spent."

Liu Bai was taken aback.

Ten thousand guan silver is enough to support thousands of people for several months.

How did he spend so much money?

Could it be

He glanced silently up and down, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Chumo has no shortage of food and drink, and the Cheng family will send a hundred guan of expenses every month.

Unless, he secretly went to some kind of place where money was spent like water.

"Chu Mo, you are still young, it is inappropriate to always go to that kind of place, besides, you still have an engagement with Princess Qinghe, if His Majesty finds out, will it be okay?"

Cheng Chumo's head was full of black lines.

"Brother Liu, I have never been to a brothel"

He lowered his head and said the matter again.

"My father, as a general in the left-led army, has tens of thousands of people under his command. Every time he goes to war, there will be a group of disabled veterans. Brother Liu, you also know that the court's compensation for disabled veterans is not enough to buy a donkey, so my old Dad paid for it himself to support those disabled veterans."

"However, this time my father went to the Turks and took away a lot of money, and the family was very tight. My mother thought about stopping the money provided to the disabled veterans for a while. I have no choice."

After Cheng Chumo finished explaining the reason, Liu Bai's anger subsided a lot.

When others fight wars, they usually make a lot of money.

Only Cheng Yaojin spent all his family's silver every time he went to war.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty all needed to provide their own weapons and armor, and the cavalry even had to pay for their own horses.

The government soldiers from poor families couldn't afford equipment, so they could only carry farm tools and fight the enemy.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Cheng Yaojin, who loved soldiers like a son, naturally couldn't see it, so he used his own money to subsidize them.

"If you have no money, you can tell me, why steal it?"

Cheng Chu lowered his head even lower.

"This is my family's business. My father is not here, so it will naturally fall on me. Why bother Brother Liu?"

Liu Bai slapped Cheng Chumo on the head.

"Fool!"

"If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to spend so much money!"

Cheng Chumo suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Liu, do you have a solution?"

"Your brains are all grown on dogs! The academy will be built soon, and thousands of servants are needed!"

Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

If the old way is used to build the academy, it will be impossible to complete it within a few years. The materials for the construction of the academy, especially wood and stone, need to be carried manually.

But since Liu Bai burned the cement, the time has been shortened by more than ten times.

Now, the first phase of the academy project has entered the final stage.

The next step is to recruit students.

If you want to manage these students well, retired soldiers are of course the best candidates!

Even disabled veterans are not vegetarians.

The horror of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is world-famous!

Isn't it easy to deal with a few students?

Moreover, the future academy will expand its enrollment several times, requiring more servants!

After figuring out the key point, Cheng Chumo immediately beamed with joy.

Liu Bai stared, "What are you laughing at?! The matter of you stealing things is not over yet!"

Cheng Chumo's face collapsed in an instant.

He squatted obediently on the ground, ready to receive the second stinky beating.

Liu Bai said bitterly: "You are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. No matter how much you beat yourself up, you don't have a long memory. Tomorrow you will bring those disabled veterans to report to the academy!"

"Me? What can I do?"

Go to the academy as a handyman?

Liu Bai definitely wouldn't do that.

When sir?

Unless Liu Bai is crazy

Cheng Chumo suddenly said in horror: "Brother Liu, you don't mean to let me go, go"

He stuttered.

"That's right, you are going to be my student honestly! If you dare to make trouble, I will break your dog legs!"

Cheng Chumo suddenly wailed.

"You kill me! Am I a material for studying?!"

Chapter 153: [-] mu of fertile land around Chang'an, plus a registration fee of [-] guan

In a blink of an eye, March arrived.

Hou Junji's attempt to rebel finally came to an end.

Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the three divisions interrogated, and Hou Junji was sentenced to the punishment of Dabi, and the rest of the clan, except the eldest daughter Hou, who entered the palace, were all exiled to Lingnan, where they will not be pardoned!

In history, this twenty-five-year-old boy who had been preparing to rebel for 18 years was strangled by Liu Bai as soon as he showed signs of rebellion.

Although a heinous person like him will have to wait until autumn before execution, but no matter what, it is impossible for him to appear in front of the world again.

Cheng Yaojin, who was far away in Longyou, also temporarily comforted the soldiers of the right guard.

As for the crime of mutiny, at least it will have to wait until the end of the Turkic expedition before making a decision.

Up and down the court, finally passed a period of peace.

The third day of March is a good day. According to legend, this day is the emperor's birthday, also known as the Shangsi Festival.

Similarly, this day is also the first phase of the academy's project, a big day for completion!

As the 'founder' of the academy, Liu Bai originally wanted to go to the Baqiao in Chang'an City in person to prepare for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

But since the first three days, countless dignitaries have come to visit.

The status is higher than the other, Liu Bai also had to personally receive.
