Chapter 405: The New Army of the West Garden
Seeing Liu Hong's eyes glowing when he talked about money, Qiu Ming was really a little speechless: "Your Majesty, you are rich in the world, and all the wealth in the world is yours, is it necessary to look at such a little money?" ”
Liu Hong looked at Qiu Ming for a while, and suddenly sighed: "You don't know the price of firewood and rice, although I am nominally rich in the world, but the wealth of the world will not automatically run into my pocket, I want the fragrance of the Western Regions, the fish of the East China Sea, the brocade of the south of the Yangtze River, and the leather of the north, so I have to spend my own money to buy it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen I was a teenager, my family was poor and weak, and many things that could be used were unattainable, until I became the son of heaven and had no worries about scarcity, but I naturally valued money more seriously. ”
Qiu Ming said: "But the Sifang counties must have tributes every year, and the Shaofu also has daily offerings, does Your Majesty need to eat so ugly?" ”
Liu Hong became angry: "The counties of the four directions are disrespectful to me, and the annual tribute is also bland and perfunctory. During the Yuan Feng period of the previous dynasty, Yulin County once offered a coral woman, with seven orifices and five senses, soft to the touch like a living person, and everyone was surprised. But soon after I ascended the throne, the coral woman was so disgraced that she could no longer play with her. I then asked Yulin County to donate another one, but more than ten years have passed, and the county guard has changed several times, but he has been refusing to give it to me. ”
Coral Woman? Qiu Ming remembered that in the boiling blood of the beast, Liu Zhenzhen seemed to have one. However, it is a treasure that can not be found, and it may not be possible to come out of the eye of the sea for thousands of years.
Moreover, now that the roads are not quiet, thieves are swarming, and Yulin County is far away on the border of southern Xinjiang, even if they can get any rare treasures, how to safely transport them to Jingshi is also a big problem. When Dengzhou cleared the Peng family bandits, Qiuming searched for a lot of goods from the Yulin Jiaozhi area, and there may really be tribute from the county.
Liu Hong continued: "As for Shaofu, every time I order something, they always say that the Xiqiang Rebellion has caused the treasury to be empty, and I hope that the Son of Heaven can be diligent and thrifty to tide over the difficulties together. I refused like this a few times, and I didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore, but now that I'm looking for money and spending money by myself, they can't say anything more, right? Everything in this West Garden, including the incense canal outside and the naked tour hall inside, was purchased at my expense. ”
Tyumen said: "But ......."
"Don't be, I didn't call you here to listen to your reprimand. Shicai talked about King Liang Xiao's white bone Yin soldiers in the palace, what do you think? ”
Qiu Ming was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is a lot of evil in that tomb, and I destroyed Bi Siya's jade fetus and took the gold treasure, King Liang Xiao hates me to the bone, and the minister really can't enter his tomb anymore." ”
Liu Hong's face quickly pulled down: "Coward, I just asked you what you think, you just push back like this, you are so afraid of King Liang Xiao, aren't you afraid of me?" ”
Qiu Ming thought to himself, I am still more afraid of zombies than living people, but of course he didn't dare to say this in front of the Son of Heaven, he just rolled his eyes and said: "The white bone yin soldiers are all ghost pawns, and ordinary soldiers immediately leave in horror when they see it, let alone face the battle, I am afraid that soldiers who need special training will be able to do it." ”
Liu Hong seemed to be a little interested: "Special training? What kind of training? ”
Tyuming's brain teaser was in a hurry, and he quickly sorted out his thoughts: "It's a kind of Taoist training, it's just a matter of touching the gold on the hills, unloading the mountains and moving the mountains." In the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty has collected money and has already had a bad reputation among the people, so it is better to take this opportunity to set up a new army, and only say that all the money obtained has been used to train the new army, then the slander can be removed. ”
Liu Hong's eyes narrowed: "Now that the Luoyang Northern Army is in the hands of He Jin, I have a lot of scruples in acting, otherwise the queen will kill Wang Meiren, how can I be so willing to give up?" What you say makes sense, but under what name should this new army be established? ”
Qiu Ming said: "The matter of King Liang Xiao's change of flag has been discussed in the court today, and His Majesty should be angry with thunder for this." Today, it is possible to establish a new army in this name, but it is said that His Majesty is kind-hearted, does not add taxes, does not take state funds, and only pays out of his own pocket for the needs of the new army. Then the corporal of the world should be impressed by the Son of Heaven. ”
Liu Hong was almost stunned when he heard it, Qiu Ming waited, and then continued: "This place is called West Garden, Your Majesty can set up another West Garden in the west of Luoyang City, garrison the new army inside, and set up eight captains to manage it. He thought of the famous Eighth Captain of the West Garden, and he was even more foaming: "Jian Shuo is majestic and has a military strategy, he can be a military captain and command the whole army, and the rest can appoint Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chun Yuqiong, etc., and wait until the new army is trained, so that Cao Cao can take it to Mangdang Mountain." ”
Qiu Ming was talking energetically, and suddenly saw Liu Hong staring at him with an unkind face, and immediately swallowed all the words he was going to say in his stomach, and said respectfully: "This is just a little immature and foolish opinion of Wei Chen, if there is anything inappropriate, please correct Your Majesty." ”
Liu Hong shook his head and said: "I have no opinion on the matter of training the army in the West Garden, but the establishment of the new army costs a lot, who should pay for this money?" ”
Qiu Ming's heart jumped, it wouldn't be for me to come out, right? Then I'm the one who is the first in the world. He stammered: "Your Majesty, the income from those who sell officials ......."
Liu Hong's face turned red all of a sudden, and he shouted loudly: "I know that you are fighting this idea, these are my money, my money, no one should think about it." The establishment of a new army is a matter of the state, so why should I pay for it? ”
Tyumen looked at him speechlessly, isn't this country yours? Why is it so clear? I don't want to find a way to launder the money of those selling officials, you will always be the faint king in people's mouths, or the one who is the most greedy for money.
Liu Hong was in a commotion, Zhao Zhong and the female officials hurriedly came over to check what was going on, but they were driven away again by the Son of Heaven waving his arm. Liu Hong had a seizure for a while, calmed down and said to Qiu Ming: "No, you have to think of a way for me to make money, and you can train the new army without using my money." ”
Ming thought about it seriously, the amount of money needed to set up an army is astronomical, otherwise his Dengzhou would not have been so long and there were only five hundred ironclad cavalry, oh, now there are only three hundred left. Think about the rich people in later generations, such as the one who sang with nothing, it seems that they started with real estate, but this Han Dynasty seems to have built their own houses, and even those who rent houses are rarely seen, and they lack just needs.
Suddenly, Qiu Ming remembered someone and said to Liu Hong with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you know Taobao?" ”
