Of course, you still need to take care of it.

Even in later generations, capital is just a slave to power.

What's more, now?

Businessmen must know and recognize their position and role in this country.

"Two gentlemen, how can your Majesty misunderstand?" Zhang Yue said calmly, looking at Tian Ming: "Don't misunderstand yourself!"

Tian Ming was immediately frightened and hurriedly lay on the ground, took off his hat and apologized: "Boy is guilty of death, boy is guilty of death!"

The first rule of survival in the Han officialdom: The emperor cannot be wrong. If he is wrong, then the wrong thing must be this world!

Don’t look at the Emperor of the Liu family who can always say: I have little virtue and cannot reach a distance.

However, if the ministers and nobles believe it, then wash your neck and wait for death.

When Dong Zhongshu was inflated, he thought he had mastered the truth, so he wanted to weave a cage for the monarch's power in morality and ethics.

Then……

His chief disciple, Lu Bushu, was ordered to disclose the secrets.

He demoted Dong Zhongshu's memorial to nothing.

A sentence that if there is no general in a minister, he will be punished, so that Dong Zhongshu will never dare to speak nonsense again.

The leader of the Confucian school is even like this.

How could a mere merchant say something like "Your Majesty misunderstood" casually?

Isn't that a hint that when your mind is not clear and not wise enough today?

How could the emperor, who is always right and always wise, misunderstand a small merchant?

joke!

So, Tian Ming was really frightened.

At that time, Yan Yi, as the Nine Minister, said nothing and was labeled as a "slander" and killed.

If he was really stabbed in his "slip", even Zhang Anshi would not be able to save him.

Looking at Tian Ming who was trembling, Zhang Yue sighed.

He remembered some memories of later generations.

Although it has been more than two thousand years, in some aspects, it is really very similar.

Not even changed much.

but……

What does this have to do with Zhang Yue?

Go forward to help Tian Ming up, Zhang Yue comforted with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid..."

"Your Majesty is the Son of the Emperor, and will not sue him at will..."

Well, as long as the Liu family is one day, the signboard of Emperor Xiaowen of Han is needed to cover up his shame, so Taizong's edict to eliminate slander will always exist.

Ministers, nobles, and scholars may need to be careful and beware of the dangers coming from the mouth.

But ordinary people talk about or spread gossip at will, and under normal circumstances no one will care about it.

In other words, the Tian family is a businessman, and the businessman has no human rights, so you have to worry and be afraid.

But in fact, these worries and fears are redundant.

Does the emperor need excuses and reasons to kill a merchant?

No need at all!

However, Tian Ming was young after all, and with such a beating from Zhang Yue, he suddenly became as gentle and obedient as a sheep.

He said tremblingly: "What the Shizhong said is that Your Majesty's divine martial arts are born, and the people are all living beings, and even birds and beasts have been grateful for their gratitude for a long time..."

Zhang Yue chuckled softly, took Tian Ming and Yang Xu's hands, and said meaningfully: "The emperor's holy grace, two gentlemen must remember it!"

"No!" Both of them bowed their heads respectfully.

Zhang Yue looked at them obediently and then said, "Your Majesty sent an envoy to ask me yesterday: I heard that there were rich merchants and great merchants, Tian, ​​Yang, and Yuan, who had thousands of hectares of fertile land, thousands of hectares of slaves, eight hundred servants, and wealthy merchants in the country, who were extravagant and indulgent. Have you heard of evil?"

As soon as he said this, Tian Ming and Yang Xu immediately bowed their heads.

Even Yuan Chang was nervous.

Zhang Yue looked at them and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I replied to the emperor: There is something to be heard, but I look at it from the ministers. Although Tian, ​​Yang and Yuan are rich, they are rich and righteous. They adhere to the doctrine of the mean. The loser will help the state affairs. His Highness Changsun thinks it is a 'righteous business'..."

Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Ming bowed deeply to Zhang Yue: "The great kindness of the servant, I will never forget it!"

Yang Xu also paused and said, "The minister's kindness, I am grateful to you, and I am willing to leave for the cow and horse!"

Yuan Chang even said, "Teacher is so kind, I will never forget my disciples!"

There is no way, the Emperor Liu has used blood and fire countless times to prove to the people of the world that he can indeed do whatever he wants without restrictions.

And the merchants still remember this deeply.

The official business of salt and iron, the average income was achieved, the private money was abolished, and the money was sued...

Each knife has killed countless wealthy businessmen.

Those who can live to this day are those who recognize reality and know the right position.

Zhang Yue looked at the three of them and said leisurely: "I am here in front of His Holiness, and I guarantee that all the families of all the lords are charitable businessmen..."

"I hope, when you go back, I will tell my elders not to make me lose my trust before His Majesty..."

The murderous intent hidden in this sentence was naturally heard clearly by the three of them.

Yuan Chang was the first to worship: "Don't worry, my father has given me a long time to give me some advice: Yuan is willing to give all his money and make a difference for the welfare of the teacher, His Highness Changsun and the people of the world!"

Tian Ming followed closely and said, "The Shizhong Gong taught me earnestly, and the boy will definitely report back to his father..."

Yang Xu also said: "Don't worry, the servant, boy knows it's amazing!"

Zhang Yue listened, they were all smart people! This would be the best, and it would be a waste of his hard work.

And with Tian, ​​Yuan and Yang's dependence and obedience, many things in the future will be easier.

Especially in those countries, things that are inconvenient for government officials to do.

There are people who do it.

This is very good!

…………………………

When night fell slowly, Tian Ming returned to his home in Chang'an.

Although the Tian family’s household registration is located in Maoling.

But the power of the Wuzhu Coin God is far beyond imagination.

Therefore, the Tian family opened up a luxury house on the periphery of Qili.

Everyone in Chang'an City knows it.

But no one cares.

As soon as he entered the door, Tian Ming saw his father sitting in the living room, waiting for him.

"Son, please ask my father for your good health!" Tian Ming hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

His father, Tian Wenyuan, is a man who looks over forty years.

He was wearing a simple blue dress, with the beard that middle-aged man in the Han family loved the most, with a lord on his head and a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, which looked no different from the scholars and doctors in Chang'an City.

"Is Zi Meng back?" Tian Wenyuan said softly: "What are you seeing and hearing about Xinfeng?"

"My son doesn't know how to comment..." Tian Ming thought for a while, sighed, and said what he had seen in Xinfeng in his entire life.

After hearing this, Tian Wenyuan stood up and sighed: "It's true that he is Zhang Chiyou!"

"What a master who plays with people's hearts!"

Tian Ming listened and bowed his head deeply. He naturally knew that he was actually completely played with the applause of the servant.

From the moment you see the other person, everything you have is controlled by him in the palm of his hand.

In the end, he almost pulled out his underwear.

This made Tian Ming feel deeply ashamed and angry.

Although he is a child of a businessman, he has also read books.

The young Han people influenced by the great revenge thought have extremely strong self-esteem and honor and shame.

Tian Mingzi is no exception.

"Zi Meng..." Tian Wenyuan lowered his head, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, looked at Tian Ming, and asked, "How do you feel when you are being played with by Zhang Chiyou like this?"
