Chapter 187 Liu Hong meets Liu Hua (2)
"Could it be that he wants..." Liu Hua couldn't help frowning when he heard this, worried that Liu Tao was planning to rebel or do something about Huo Guang.
"I thought too much. He was originally just a child from a gentry family in Zhuo County, and at most he studied under Lu Zhi for a while." Liu Hong shook his head, "The rebellion is too far away from him. Even if the gentry insists on pushing someone up, it will not be like him."
Generally speaking, it is definitely necessary to have relatives in the Han Dynasty, and their bloodlines are relatively close. Secondly, they need some status. It is obviously impossible for Liu Tao, a "clan member", to be a marquis or a king.
He paused and added: "In addition... I have never seen an ambitious existence who has been in Luoyang for so long and has never been in contact with the gentry."
If he hadn't had money and planned to make some money, he would probably not even leave the palace. Liu Tao was almost training troops and then reading books, without any communication at all, and at most he was related to the female school book.
However, in Liu Hong's view, that connection is nothing more than the emotional communication between men and women.
Cai Yan was the same. She really thought that she would not know about it when she got into Lantai as a proofreader. She just knew that she was alone and was widowed at home, and she was indeed talented, so she agreed to this matter.
In other words, if Cai Yan really wants to leave the palace, Wei Wei will probably let him go. But she didn't know, so she ran to Liu Tao's camp for a night. After learning about this, Liu Hong even wondered if she had a good impression of Liu Tao.
Speaking of Liu Tao, Liu Hong remembered something, so he naturally said to himself: "Speaking of it, earlier, he seemed to have expressed that he wanted to release..."
Although this is talking to himself, Liu Hua was so close that he naturally heard it.
"It's not surprising that young people like to fight. Your Majesty, it may be too early to put him in Luoyang." Liu Hua said after thinking about it.
"I don't know..." Liu Hong sighed, "but I suddenly realized that there was really no one available on my hand."
There are so many people who want to fight against the flames and possess the power, but they can only shout slogans outside. There is really a problem. No one is willing to charge. This time, the attack on the Yellow Turban Thief not only vacate his treasury, but also let the Northern Army take control in the hands of the gentry.
There are many traces that the Yuan family is related to the three Zhang brothers, but they are doing it without any leakage.
If it were the Emperor Guangwu or Emperor Wu, let alone the evidence, the Yuan family could be destroyed as long as he suspected it. But now he would not do it. He dared to order that the ministers would not give any advice, and whether the imperial edict could leave Luoyang was said to be the same.
Bad luck even became an excuse for someone to do something about Huo Guang, so he never dared to act rashly.
Before forming a new army and controlling it in his hands, he needs an army that can be deployed at any time. This army must have combat effectiveness, and the commander must stand on his side, and be good at fighting and dare to fight.
From this perspective, it seems that Liu Tao's army is the most in line with the requirements in the whole world.
"Liu Tao is still young, and if he doesn't sharpen his skills, there will be problems. It may not be a good thing to release him. Moreover, if it is a border area, it is normal to have 20,000 or 30,000 troops. Now these more than 2,000 troops are not very effective." Liu Hua reminded.
"Two years are gone, I'll raise enough money..." Liu Hong picked up the fried dough sticks and took a big bite.
"How much is enough to make?" Liu Huashao couldn't ask.
"At least another army can be formed, at least 20,000 troops!" Liu Hong replied, Xiyuan Eight Schools, this concept has actually existed, but because of the lack of money, it can only be put on hold.
"This expense is too great, I can't support it..." I originally wanted to help, but when I heard this, Liu Hua immediately admitted defeat. Not to mention the recruitment of 20,000 people, and military supplies, daily supplies are also a big number.
"You have helped me a lot. Besides, the papermaking workshops will make paper one after another, and you can make some money at that time." Liu Hong shook his head, then compared the fried dough sticks in his hand. "Just say these, you can make a lot of money by taking them out alone."
"It's just that little money, Your Majesty probably doesn't like it anymore?" Liu Hua also thought it was feasible when he heard this. He opened a restaurant, which specialized in selling buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk, etc. The effect should be very good.
"If you are interested, just start by yourself. But the method is Liu Tao, don't forget." Liu Hong reminded.
"How could I forget him?" Liu Hua smiled, "I just sent a farm, and my heart is still bleeding."
"That's your business with him." Liu Hong could still distinguish between public and private affairs. The key is that he had no money. There are restrictions on how to make money. It is really difficult for an emperor to make money.
Wait, if I burn this Nangong, can I take the opportunity to make a name for myself and continue to make money? Anyway, the reputation has become bad, so it doesn’t matter if it is a little bad... Looking at this palace, Liu Hong is now jealous.
"But the idea he gave me was that in a month, the Boshefang would reopen. I think the income would be much better than before. At that time, I would probably give it to the palace more." Liu Hua said immediately, and she could only help in this regard.
Her husband is a Shizhong, and he is a scholar, so she cannot enter the palace often, so she will not make things difficult for him.
"Well, I will look forward to it." Liu Hong replied casually. Like Liu Tao, he emphasized "putting the bag to rest". No matter how good the cake is, it is useless if it can't be eaten, and what you can eat is really delicious.
After Liu Hua left, Liu Hong was a little depressed. The Bohemianfang would be closed for one month, which means that the monthly money this month would not be sent to the palace. This month, it is probably important that his life will be in full swing.
Not to mention the papermaking workshop, it has just invested and has not started to produce, so naturally it can't make money. However, he does not regret giving the papermaking workshop to Liu Tao.
Recently, many businesses have deliberately raised the purchase price of raw materials, and their papermaking workshops are actually not profitable. If they continue, they will be closed sooner or later. Using bamboo as raw materials is not a big problem. There are bamboo forests everywhere in Jiangnan.
"Your Majesty..." After saying that, a little Huangmen came over and reported on the incident that Cai Yan went over to meet Liu Tao.
Liu Tao has been in the imperial palace for so many days, and he is not always in the military camp. After several days of observation, the Ten Eunuchs finally chose someone to buy them as a spy.
It is estimated that Liu Tao did not notice that one of his soldiers had become the eyewitness of the Han Emperor. However, this person was also tough and only conveyed some news and kept silent. It would take some time to completely conquer it.
"I actually have to cook myself, it's a bit interesting..." Liu Hong became interested when he heard this.
He really likes the pastry made by Liu Tao now. He doesn't know how other things he cooks taste? Calculate the time, that is, the day after tomorrow, and it seems that he can arrange it...
"Father, it will take several days for the Yulin Army to be rebuilt. Should I go and see it?" Liu Hong said casually.
"The Yulin Army is Your Majesty's Guard. It's reasonable and should go over and take a look." Zhang Rang heard Xian's elegant meaning, so he replied.
"As the Emperor of Han, I should share the joys and sorrows with my soldiers... In order to better feel the atmosphere of the military camp, it is natural to stay for dinner, right?" Liu Hong finally said his real purpose.
