Liu Han was ready to break with the King of Qin, but the King of Qin surprised him, and He Yushi soon came to the door again, this time bringing a letter from the King of Qin, in which the King of Qin frankly admitted that this time he had violated the agreement between the two, and then he introduced the disaster in Yongbei and the situation of the displaced people in Yongzhou.

The drought in Yongbei has spread to Bingzhou, and the people in Yongzhou have fled to Yongzhou, resulting in a heavy burden on Yongzhou's back, many people below suggested blocking the Yongzhou border, but he couldn't bear to do this, but to help these victims, Yongzhou Treasury was empty, and asked the imperial court for help, and the imperial treasury was also empty, so Yongzhou was raised on the spot, so he really couldn't do it.

"The lonely king can only ask Mr. for help, I heard that Mr. has recently gained a huge harvest, at the moment to settle a family of victims, at most five taels of silver, if Mr. can contribute 100,000 yuan, can help 20,000 families live in peace, rescue tens of thousands of people, this is a great benevolence, the lonely king will go to the court to ask for the seal for Mr. ”

Liu Han couldn't be angry anymore, this prince saw himself as something, saying that if it was good, it was charity, and if it was bad, it was killing pigs.

Lao Huang desperately gave Liu Han a look, Liu Han looked at He Yushi and sighed: "The imperial court's finances will be eased, for a while, I'm afraid it won't work, this auction is what I brought back from the Western Regions, it can be said that it has been accumulated for ten years, and outsiders only see the huge harvest at the auction, which shows the difficulty of my business." I have given up the industry in the Western Regions, and I can only restart the stove in Dajin, which requires a lot of money and time, Lord He, I have told the prince before, I can't afford Yongzhou, if I give it this time, what will happen next time? How much will the prince want next time? Will I give it or not? The prince wanted to do business with me at the beginning, and invested 30,000 taels of silver, and he would collect 100,000 taels in half a year! The business didn't do this! I can't afford to give it. ”

He Yushi somewhat understood that the relationship between Liu Han and King Qin was not as he imagined, and they were not like a master-subordinate relationship.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he could fully imagine the embarrassment of King Qin, countless homeless people flocked to Yongzhou, if they couldn't solve their food and clothing, these homeless people would definitely take risks.

Looking at Liu Han's cold face, He Yushi couldn't help but complain a little, how could the prince associate with such a person, how could such a mercenary businessman have compassion for the world, and how could he have a mind that values the world.

Liu Han seemed to understand his thoughts, his expression became colder and colder, He Yushi was about to speak, Liu Han had already preemptively said: "I suggest that the prince raise donations from the local gate lords, there are many gate lords in Yongzhou, they occupy the best land in Yongzhou, have a lot of wealth, and raise 100,000 silver from them, there is no problem at all." ”

He Yushi couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could these gate lord clans come up with so much silver?

You can still think about 20,000 or 30,000 taels, 100,000 taels, don't even think about it.

"But the prince is very difficult now, the prince himself has taken out 30,000 taels of silver, and the use of the palace has been reduced to a minimum."

Liu Han sneered in his heart, what is this, let him take care of it, and the use of the palace can be reduced by at least fifty percent.

"Lord He, let me give the prince a suggestion, sort out the salt and iron, sort out the land tax, and collect taxes from the gate lord clan, so that you can get more than 100,000 taels of silver at once. ”

He Yushi drew a few black lines in his head and taxed the gate valve!

！

！

This is probably the most dangerous thing in this world, in the past, the king of Shaoyang County wanted to collect taxes from the gate lord clan, what was the result, and who would dare to do this now.

"Help me ask the prince, Guanzhong is rich, fertile for thousands of miles, and has been a rich land since ancient times, but why is Guanzhong so poor now, where is the wealth in Guanzhong?"

Liu Han still didn't pull out a dime, He Yushi sent the news back to Chang'an as quickly as possible, and after Luan Xuan received the book from Du Niao, he immediately went to the study to report to King Qin.

After reading the letter, the king of Qin couldn't help but be a little irritable, these days, the victims from Yongbei and Bingzhou fled to Yongnan and Hanzhong, and the county guard of Hanzhong had already impeached Yongzhou to the imperial court, accusing Yongzhou of indulging the exiles and beggar-thy-neighbor.

"Lord Wang!"

Luan Xuan saw that King Qin was silent, and his expression grew angry, so he spoke: "Liu Han has his difficulties, the prince will ask for 100,000 when he opens his mouth, he is naturally not happy, think about half a year ago, the prince only gave him 10,000 taels, and this New Year will be less than 100,000 taels, he will instinctively think more......"

"But now the lonely king has no silver! without silver, he can't buy food, and he can't settle the homeless!"

King Qin interrupted him irritably.

Luan Xuan was a little surprised, King Qin had always been gentle and calm, but he was a little out of shape at that moment just now.

King Qin also noticed that he was a little out of shape and wanted to stabilize his emotions, but when he thought of what he was facing now, he couldn't help the anger in his heart and smashed the book on the table.

"Look! What does he say! Bargain, what ideas do he come up with, to collect taxes from the local gate lords! If he can collect taxes, what else will I do with him!"

"Lord Wang!"

Luan Xuan frowned, King Qin got up and stood up, furious: "Yesterday Chang'an County reported that more than 600 people froze to death, and this is still near Chang'an, what about other places? Now, 17 porridge sheds have been set up near Chang'an, but the grain can only last for half a month! The price of grain is now 20 taels of silver and one stone! If it goes on like this, how can you get it!"

"Lord Wang!"

Luan Xuan's voice was a little critical and reproachful, King Qin sat down with a long sigh, he was very frustrated, since the drought, he expected that there would be a large number of victims, so he summoned the wealthy men of Yongzhou, hoping that they could donate generously, but what disappointed him was that only 30,000 taels of silver were raised, of which 10,000 were donated by the famous emperor of Yongzhou.

Luan Xuan calmly looked at the banner hanging on the study, "There is calm in every major event"

This is a famous quote left by the eloquent Emperor Taizu, and the King of Qin hung this line in his study, reminding himself to stay calm at any time, so as not to lose his manners.

"Although Liu Han refuses to give money, from his current situation, it proves that he is indeed a genius in business, Lord Wang, we can't be too anxious. ”

"But what now?"

King Qin sighed, his eyes fell on the letter, which happened to fall on the tax levied on the gate lord clan, and scolded hatefully: "These gate valves are all wolf-hearted things. ”

Luan Xuan always sat upright, even when King Qin lost his temper, he was still as steady as a bluestone, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

"Although Liu Han didn't give money, his suggestion is good, it is impossible to tax the gate valve, but we can auction the right to operate salt and iron. ”

"It wasn't auctioned off last time. ”

"The last auction was Yongbei's, and this time we auctioned Liangzhou and northern Bingzhou. ”

Luan Xuan's tone was very calm, but the words he said made King Qin's heart tremble.

Salt and iron are the monopoly of the imperial court, there is no salt field in Yongzhou, Yongzhou's salt comes from Jizhou and Qingzhou, and a small part comes from Yizhou, which is sold by the government.

The auction of salt and iron management rights is tantamount to taking money from the imperial court.

"That's a great strategy!"

Luan Xuan got up without looking back, Bai Pu came in, first gave a salute to King Qin, and then sat down, Luan Xuan waited for him to sit down before sitting down again.

"The prince is in a hurry,"

Bai Pu said solemnly, his white hair was a little scattered, and Luan Xuan frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't open his mouth to interrupt him.

"Liu Han is a person of interest, and he wants to give first and then take from such a person, and the prince is in a hurry. ”

King Qin sighed bitterly, and Luan Xuan suggested: "The problem now is the lack of money, and I still suggest that auction the right to operate salt and iron." ”

"Will the court agree?"

The king of Qin asked, and Luan Xuan said: "If the imperial court does not agree, it will give us money and grain, and the imperial court will not be able to come up with money and grain, so it can only agree to our auction of salt and iron management rights." ”

King Qin nodded in silence: "Okay, let's just play the imperial court, ride eight hundred miles and report urgently, tell the imperial court that the food will not come within half a month, and Yongzhou will no longer be able to help the victims." ”

"But even if the money comes, where will we go to buy food?"

King Qin asked again: "Our grain is only enough to support one month, and if we don't plough in the spring, the grain will be empty." ”

Luan Xuan was silent, and Bai Pu sighed: "Let's ask for help from the gate lords of the clan again." ”

Luan Xuan spewed out a coarse breath, Yongzhou is not out of grain, Yongzhou's grain is in the grain depot of the gate lord clan, and now there is no grain on the market, because they deliberately hoard grain and let the price of grain rise, they know how long Yongzhou's grain can last, these grains are consumed, and the price of grain will rise three times.

"They want to be willing to pay, can the lonely king still need to be so embarrassed!"

King Qin sighed.

"Whether they pay or not, look for them. ”

Bai Pu also sighed, and King Qin nodded after hesitation.

Luan Xuan was very anxious, and before he could speak, King Qin picked up the letter from the imperial capital again: "How to deal with this?"

Bai Pu and Luan Xuan both knew that they were not asking whether they wanted money, but people.

"Although Liu Han is arrogant, he is famous,"

Luan Xuan pondered the words: "And the news he sent from the imperial capital a few days ago is very accurate, Lord Wang, this person is still useful." ”

Bai Pu nodded, after Liu Han arrived in the imperial capital, he successively came to ** secret letters, accurately predicting the ascension of King Qi, telling King Qin that the crown prince could not be shaken, and most importantly, he warned King Qin not to participate in the impeachment of Qiuyun, on the contrary, to protect Qiuyun, the impeachment trend was intentional by the emperor, although the intention is unknown, but Qiuyun must be fine, on the contrary, Fang Hui is very dangerous, and the first emperor is likely to take him under the knife.

When they first received these secret letters, Luan Xuan and Bai Pu were suspicious, especially the analysis of the other party's future, both of them disagreed, thinking that Liu Han was thinking nonsense, but what happened afterwards shocked them.

The general Fang returned to the three clans that were destroyed!

Liu Han's status in the Qin Palace's palace was immediately different, and the Qin King began to attach great importance to his secret report.

After the new monarch ascended the throne, Liu Han also sent two secret reports, analyzing the new monarch's governance strategy, believing that the first fire of the new monarch is to improve the current financial situation, but to improve the financial situation, it is bound to take action against officials and gate lords, so the future trend of the government is very dangerous.

Liu Han suggested to the King of Qin to show support to the new monarch in an appropriate way to avoid becoming the first target of the new monarch, and of course, the most likely first target of the new monarch was the king of Qi.

This secret report has not been confirmed, but after Bai Pu and Luan Xuan analyzed the direction of the situation, they felt that Liu Han's analysis could be established.

"This person should be cautious, Lord Wang, send Xi Feng to go once, and tell him what the Lord means. ”

King Qin looked at the letter blankly, the letter was quietly placed on the bookcase, Liu Han's face repeatedly shook in front of his eyes, and finally he nodded slowly.

"Let Rhino Blade come to me. ”

After a pause, he added: "For Liu Han, you must knock and knock." ”
