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

This is also the only way for the Jiangnan Chinese to still have a place under the oppression of the Guanlong nobles and the Hedong aristocrats for many years.

Whoever is missing, don't even think about eating this meal.

"You mean that the Zhu family is forcing other families to contribute money?"

Liu Bai seemed to have realized something.

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "A set of tableware can naturally be used by one person. The most important thing to eat is definitely the chopsticks. In contrast, things like cups and saucers are not so important. In this way, even if you eat It’s a little more embarrassing, at least it won’t starve to death.”

This time, even Lu Dunxin understood!

There is no doubt that the Zhu family is chopsticks.

He wanted to give the cup from the Gu family and the saucer from the Zhang family to the big-bellied man from the Liu family, first to satisfy the big-bellied man's appetite.

As for whether there is poison in the cup or saucer, that's another matter.

When Lu Dunxin bowed his head in thought, Liu Bai smiled silently.

He thought it was really interesting.

In the final analysis, Zhu Zihong misunderstood his purpose.

What I want is to promote the Great Tang Banknotes and use economic power to sweep all the big families in the south of the Yangtze River into the dust of history in one fell swoop.

And Zhu Zihong thought that he just wanted to come to Jiangnan to get a share of the pie.

At most, they just used their own industry to overwhelm the Jiangnan market.

These two purposes seem to be worlds apart!

The Liu family is not a big-bellied man.

To be precise, the Liu family is a glutton with endless space in his stomach!

This glutton is not interested in cups and saucers.

Not even interested in chopsticks.

If the appetite is not bad, he wants more than food.

Even the table on which the food is placed, plus the house on which the table is placed, must be swallowed in one gulp!

After all, the people in Taotie's stomach who are waiting to be fed are not the few members of the Liu family.

And the people of the entire Tang Dynasty!

Wang Shouren picked up the pair of chopsticks.

"At this time, all the chopsticks think about is to share a piece of the pie"

While speaking, he threw the cup and saucer out.

There was a 'snap' and it fell to pieces!

"At most, you can divide half of the chopsticks!"

He broke one of the chopsticks and threw half of it out.

"In Zhu Zihong's eyes, although one and a half chopsticks are not comfortable to use, at least you can eat another bite. You just need to deal with the big belly and buy a new pair of chopsticks."

Liu Bai laughed, and said, "This is much clearer."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Dunxin.

Lu Dunxin obviously didn't turn the corner, and he didn't understand what Wang Shouren said later.

"Took his chopsticks?"

Liu Bai said a little unhappy: "Master, I don't have the habit of using lame chopsticks."

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "Young master, what you mean is, instead of breaking cups and saucers, why not have a whole pair of chopsticks? After eating, you can either lift the table off, or swallow the table too!"

Lu Dunxin pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Young master, you mean to win over the Gu family and the Zhu family first?"

Liu Bai was very angry.

This guy's brain is really not very bright.

The cup and saucer are already broken, so what else?

Are you afraid of stabbing your throat if you swallow it together?

"Old Wang, you go to Suzhou City with him!"

Wang Shouren stood up and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

When Lu Dunxin saw that Liu Bai was about to chase someone away, he looked at the food that had just been served, swallowed his saliva, and gave a wry smile helplessly.

"Then there will be Mr. Lao Wang"

Chapter 1413 It's been a long time, and he hasn't had this kind of excitement about doing things

After Lu Dunxin and Wang Shouren left, Liu Bai pushed his rice bowl forward, closed his eyes, and began to think about the context of the whole matter.

The Jiangnan Chinese are different from the Hedong Hao.

They are proud, but not arrogant.

Self-restraint, but not self-confident.

If it is said that when Liu Bai dealt with the Hao family in Hedong, he mentioned that he was very careful.

So at this moment, Liu Bai is [-]% careful towards the Jiangnan Chinese!

It's not that Liu Bai despises the rich families in Hedong and values ​​the nobles in Jiangnan.

It is because there is a natural difference between the two.

The rich families in Hedong value power over wealth, while the Chinese in Jiangnan value wealth over power.

At that time, Liu Bai used many methods to draw the wealthy families of Hedong into the economic field he was good at, and defeated them repeatedly.

If the old method is used to deal with the Jiangnan Chinese, they may be caught off guard in the early stage.

But when they come to their senses, it's hard to say who is on top and who is on the bottom.

Therefore, Liu Bai's initial plan was to do the opposite.

There are two ways to intervene in the economy with strong means.

One, let's call it Datang's version of 'fiscal policy', and the other, it can be said to be the contemporary version of 'monetary policy'.

The Hao family in Hedong attaches great importance to power, so use fiscal policy.

The Chinese in the south of the Yangtze River are rich, so they naturally use monetary policy.

Since under the guidance of the blind leader of the Zhu family, the Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River have gone astray, so can they adjust their policies?

"Little Six, call Li You and Dou Xiaoci!"

Mo Xiaoliu, who stood by with his head bowed and waited on him, hurried out.

Not long after, Li You and Dou Xiaoci walked in pushing each other.

"Brother Liu!"

The two grinned and called out.

Liu Bai waved his hands and told them to sit down.

"Where is everyone else?"

Li You looked at Dou Xiaoci.

The people around him are all barbarians. In terms of news channels, they are far less well-informed than Dou Xiaoci.

"The two in the middle of Sichuan have already entered the customs, the ones in the east and the north of the river will probably arrive in three or four days, and the ones in the further north may have at least seventeen or eight days."

Liu Bai pondered for a moment.

After doing the math, Li Fengjie should be the last to arrive.

Today is June 26.

By mid-July at the latest, people will get together.

"What about the south?"

Before Dou Xiaoci had time to speak, he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "Brother Liu, I'm coming!"

Liu Bai smiled and said, "Get out!"

Chai Lingwu opened the curtain of the tent, and was about to give Liu Bai a bear hug when he went up.

Liu Bai picked up his job bowl as if to smash it, and Chai Lingwu retreated resentfully.

Today's Chai Lingwu is dark and thin, and he has suffered a lot in Lingnan.

He smiled and saluted.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Liu is still handsome!"

Liu Bai also felt quite kind.

Chai Lingwu and Cheng Chumo have been with him the longest.

At home, lived for almost ten years.

The reckless personality in the early years has been worn away by the years.

After practicing in Lingnan, he became more stable.

Only in front of Liu Bai can he recover his nature of being irresponsible to Siliu.

"You kid didn't flirt with girls in Lingnan, did you?"

Liu Bai said meaningfully.

Chai Lingwu's mind was the fastest among the group of brothers.

Hearing this, his face suddenly changed.

"Ba Ling is here too?"

Li You, who hadn't spoken much all this time, said angrily at this moment: "What? Could it be that the Marquis of Pingyang bought a few more concubines in Lingnan?"

This is to complain to his own sister.

Chai Lingwu is not afraid of Li You.

Even if Li Chengqian came, he was still the boss of this group of people.

"Shut your mouth!"

After finishing speaking, he moved back a few steps slightly, looked out a few times with his head poking around, and was relieved when he saw no one was there.

Liu Bai was too lazy to bother with him about these things.

"Why did you come so fast? Logically, you should arrive in ten days, right?"

Chai Lingwu grinned, and said, "Brother Liu has an order, how dare I disobey it? It's just a boat ride with the wind, so I arrived a few days earlier."

Liu Bai thought for a while and finally understood.

From Lingnan to Jiangnan, riding a horse is unrealistic.

The one hundred thousand mountains alone cannot be crossed by horses.

Unless it starts from Lingnan, passes through Tanzhou in the Hunan and Jiangxi regions, and makes a big detour to the east of Jiangnan Road.

If you take a boat, especially a sea boat, it will be faster.

However, there are only a few ships in Lingnan that can enter the sea.

There is only one ship that can cross the strait and cross most of the East China Sea.

That was the boat that Liu Bai gave to Feng An when the Lingnan Project started!

Feng An loved that boat more than his own son.

If it's not too big, I can't wait to sleep in the bed at night!

In other words, Feng Ang is also here!

Seeing Liu Bai looking outside, Chai Lingwu knew that he had guessed the mystery.
