Chapter 121 bet a copper

The establishment of the martial arts lecture hall is actually another purpose in Liu Xie's plan, which is to receive military generals who are already famous or official.

For example, if Liu Xie personally wrote a letter to Liu Biao to ask for it, or if the warriors recommended by officials from various prefectures and counties like Taishi Ci, they will have to be decided on a day of competition. But at least with this identity, they can have a place to settle in Chang'an. After all, as more and more people flock to Chang'an, there are some shortages of restaurants and inns in Chang'an.

Of course, a martial arts lecture hall cannot solve this problem. In order to welcome the more and more people to move in, Liu Xie issued a special edict allowing the people to accept these people who have been in exchange and collect appropriate rent. Of course, 20% of the management fees must be paid to the court.

After all, the people who come and go are all powerful people in the world, and there are even more good and bad people. All kinds of religions and all kinds of people are included. Moreover, these people often have a common problem. Relying on their great abilities and ignore the laws of the court, the reason why Liu Xie asked Wang Yue to set up a troops to manage the security in the city was to deal with these people.

The people are registered, which is easy to manage, and the second is that there are any chaos, and there are traces to follow. The third is that they are just adding some taxes. There is no way. Liu Xie is afraid of being poor now. At the same time, he can also find a way for the people in the city to lay some foundation for the future development of business.

In order to facilitate the foreign population to get familiar with the city quickly, of course, to prevent Liu Xie from getting lost when he left the palace in a miserable manner, Liu Xie specially ordered people to create a batch of road signs, standing on the main roads of Chang'an City, so that pedestrians can find the most correct road.

The people in Chang'an City are also very busy these days. Walking on the streets, you can see people walking by with a satisfied smile on their faces from time to time.

Seeing that September has passed, the autumn harvest has actually come to an end. Unlike the modern capital, in this era, even the people living in the capital have to engage in farming and serenity to support themselves.

This is also an important reason why Liu Xie did not rashly promote business. Without enough high-yield crops, relying solely on the agricultural productivity of the Han Dynasty, it is not enough to liberate too many people to engage in industry and business in these industries. Of course, there is also an important reason that although scholars in this era were not as rampant as in the Song and Ming dynasties, the number of aristocratic families had already occupied a certain proportion, and these people were unable to engage in agriculture.

In addition, more and more people have flocked to Chang'an recently. According to the statistics of Jingzhaoyin of the lower Jing'an, before the Chang'an competition, the population of the entire Guanzhong area may increase by 10% or even more.

There have been many vendors in Chang'an City recently. Liu Xie even met many Hu merchants from the Western Regions and brought many novel things.

A month passed quietly in this busy and fulfilling atmosphere. Even Liu Xie felt that life seemed to be a little too fast, and many things were not handled well, and time flew away inadvertently.

During this period, something that was considered a major event happened. The Xiongnu Chanyu Yufulu sent people to bring tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to exchange for a large number of Xiongnu warriors detained by Liu Xie and the broken Xiongnu Right King.

Liu Xie remembered the wonderful expressions of the Hun envoy when he saw the broken leg of the Huns and learned that thousands of Huns were being snatched away, but he didn't care. Now the imperial power is gradually becoming stable and the army's combat power is increasing. Although he cannot go on an expedition to Hetao, he is not afraid of the Huns coming. As long as the entrance to the straight road is blocked, no matter how arrogant the Huns are, they will not be able to make waves.

The autumn wind that had already brought a little coldness to tremble Liu Xie's robe. This time he left the palace, he did not go to secretly meet Li Ru. Therefore, in addition to his regular followers Wei Zhong and Niu Geng, he also brought Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, Ding Yi and Zhong Yu out of the palace together, which was also considered to be close. Moreover, as the four of them entered the palace for a long time, they spoke much more casually than before.

Seeing that Chang'an City seemed to be much more prosperous than the last time she left the palace, Liu Xie naturally felt a sense of satisfaction.

"The great scenery in Chang'an City today depends on Your Majesty's good arrangements." Ding Yi, who accompanied him, praised Liu Xie with great importance.

"I dare not bow. If it weren't for the assistance of all the ministers, I would have only one person. But without this ability, things in this world can never be done by one or two people." Liu Xie smiled, but did not refute too much. No one would like to listen to good things, especially when this is the truth.

"This jade hairpin is good." Liu Xie stopped in front of a Hu merchant's vendor and took a jade hairpin and looked at it with interest. Judging from the craftsmanship of this era, it was quite good. During this period, I occasionally went to see Lu Lingju. At this moment, I felt that this crystal clear jade hairpin was quite consistent with Lu Lingju's appearance and temperament.

"Two sheep." Hu Shang stretched out his two fingers and said in his bad words: "Or half a piece of silk can be fine, but it must be Shu brocade."

When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "My man has Wuzhu coins as currency, why do you still use this method of bartering?"

When Hu Shang heard this, he looked at Liu Xie strangely, shook his head and said, "You Han people's currency cannot be used to trade in our country."

"Oh? I don't know where you are from?" Liu Xie couldn't help but feel curious and asked.

As far as he knows, although the Western Regions have not paid tribute to the court for nearly a hundred years, they are still highly influenced by the culture of the Han Dynasty. Some small countries like Juyan and Yiwu, such as the Great Han Dynasty, are still effective.

"I come from the Kushan Empire." The Hu Shang said proudly when he heard this.

"Kurshan, it's far enough." Liu Xie nodded and said, "I can't get cattle and sheep out, otherwise you can convert it into coins and use coins to buy equivalent goods when you leave. Isn't it the same?"

"No." Hu Shang shook his head.

"Don't worry." Liu Xie rolled his eyes and took everyone away.

"Your Majesty is the master of all chariots, why should you tell those people about this?" Ding Yi shook his head and said.

Yang Xiu, who was standing beside him, frowned and looked at the vendors around him, and said in confusion: "Your Majesty has paid too much attention to these vendors."

"Dezu thinks these vendors are useless?" Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu, and was not angry, but just asked back.

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have made a conclusion in ancient times." Yang Xiu couldn't directly refute, so he had to use the words of the ancients to refute.

"The ancient sages may not be right." Liu Xie smiled and shook his head. Seeing the faces of the few people become a little strange. He knew that his words were a bit ruthless in this era. He stopped talking more and looked at Yang Xiudao: "The Dezu brought money to him."

Yang Xiu nodded inexplicably, took off a wallet from his waist and handed it to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie took the purse, took out a Wuzhu coin from it, and shook it in front of Yang Xiu: "I don't use my identity, I just use this money to buy that jade hairpin from the Hu Shang. Can Dezu believe it?"

"This..." Yang Xiu said helplessly: "I don't think..."

"Would Dezu bet with me?" Liu Xie smiled.

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you do this..." Yang Xiu frowned.
