I’m The King Chapter 1106: : East and West (ninety-nine)


"Sometimes, the power of the economy is more effective than war!" Gao Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, walked slowly on the street with Gao Zhiyuan, looked at Ye Jing'er beside him, and said with a smile, "My favorite The thing is to use money to smash opponents to death, but from Fufeng to now, I seem to be the most serious one, but now it seems that I already have this capital."

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Ye Jing'er smiled weakly, "You have to say something twice, for example, a rich man, his money is uncountable, but when you meet unreasonable robbers and bandits, no matter how much money you have Too much, can you beat a knife?"

Reaching out his hand to touch the mustache that had just grown on his lips, Gao Yuan chuckled, "That's true, you have to have strength if you have money, but the strength of our big Han army is already strong enough. Qian, or the war against Qin and Chu in the future will not be like today, every battle is full of blood and blood. Well, human life is the most precious, and every time a soldier dies, it makes me very sad Ah!"

"Aren't you heartbroken about the expensive compensation fee?" Ye Jing'er giggled. With the rapid development of the big man's economy, the pension fee for the army's war dead and wounded has risen. Financially speaking, it is not a small burden.

"A few days ago, I heard Xiner say that it is much more difficult to recruit soldiers now than in previous years. Everyone has money, and life is much better. Even if you don't serve as a soldier, you can live a good life, and there are more ways to make money. Guang, some time ago, He Lanxiong did not recruit many people in the local area when he expanded his army in the east. Most of them were from Qidi who had just returned to Qidi. Some." Ye Jing'er had a look of worry on her face, "The richer you are, the more powerful you need to protect it. If this goes on, it's not an option. Qi, Han, and Wei are following us. The promotion of the Han policy will make you rich sooner or later, what should you do when that time comes? Xiner said that the Zhengshitang is already brewing compulsory military service?"

"The Zhengshitang has this idea, but it is still in the making. It is not bad for the people of Qi to recruit as soldiers. The people there are all tall and powerful. If they train well, they are no worse than those in the local area. "Gao Yuan laughed and said: "Multiple military service, let them brew it first, maybe it is not needed at all, or there are other ways to solve this problem."

"How?"

"I'm going to build a new government office to deal with things like propaganda, public opinion, public opinion, public opinion, it's invisible and intangible, but it's really important. We used to do these things too Things, but it’s all done by the yamen with a hammer and a stick, without a clue, and a special department is set up to manage this matter, so that it can be done in an orderly manner and step by step.”

"A new yamen is going to be set up again?" Ye Jing'er said in surprise: "How many new yamen have you got here, will this cause a lot of people?"

"This is necessary." Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Besides, we are not short of money now."

"Who says there is no shortage of money? Didn't Wang Wuyi come to you two days ago and call you poor? The road from the three counties of Liaodong to Yuyang presided over by Guo Quan is a black hole that swallows money. Now Jicheng It's going to expand a circle again, so don't you want a lot of money?" Ye Jing'er murmured in a low voice.

"Wang Wudi is used to calling you poor!" Gao Yuan laughed: "Even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the treasury, he is not used to it when he sees that I don't call you poor a few times. He is always It is to think about the worst of things, wishing that there would always be endless money in hand, how is this possible for a country?"

"I don't know much about these things anyway, but I do know that if you have money in your hands, you don't panic. Although you make a lot of money now, you also spend money like running water. Once we have a war with Qin Chu, what should we do? Can you come?" Ye Jinger asked.

"What? Are you short of money? We shouldn't be short of money, right? By the way, didn't that old boy, Wang Wudi, deduct the expenses for the palace? There are three big kings, I am afraid that I am the most embarrassing king, the old boy dares to withhold the money that should be given to me." Gao Yuan touched his nose, "It seems that I should ask him for debts."

Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan with a sad face, and let out a chuckle, "When did we run out of money, our shares in Wu's Liquor Industry, the annual dividends are as high as 100,000 taels of silver, the previous paragraph Didn’t you give Wu’s Liquor some beer and wine prescriptions? A few days ago, Mrs. Wu came to see me in the palace and said that their family has gathered dozens of experienced master craftsmen to study it. There are already plans, and when the time comes to promote and go public, the one-year bonus will have to be doubled at least!"

Gao Yuan looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, "I really miss the days of drinking beer and eating fried chicken!"

"Well, big brother, what did you say?" Ye Jinger asked in surprise.

"Oh, I mean, I must get what is mine. This is also the spirit of the law of my man! Why does Wang Wudi withhold what I deserve? The cost of the royal palace has been reduced by 10% because I have property outside, and now he even has to deduct this share, which is not acceptable."

"All right, all right, you can ask for what you want, but I think Wang Wudi's words are also reasonable, the whole Han Kingdom is yours, what's the difference between putting money in the treasury and putting it in the palace What!"

"It's a big difference!" Gao Yuan smiled lightly, "Everyone talks about the country and the country, if we really treat the country as our own home, sooner or later there will be problems, the home is our family, you, Yanzi, Xin'er, Zhiyuan, Mingzhi, and Ning'er's home, but the country is the country of the entire Han people, I don't want to make the Han people into a family!"

Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan in amazement, but said nothing. Gao Yuan's thoughts sometimes made her really unsure, especially now, Gao Guo's path in governing the country seemed to be different from the way she imagined governing the country The farther and farther you go, even Xin'er can't figure it out, but it seems that the big man is getting stronger and stronger.

Maybe what Gao Yuan did was correct, because he is different, the big man is strong today.

"Daddy, there are people fighting over there!"

In the palace, Gao Zhiyuan's favorite is He Lanyan, because the second mother's favorite thing to do is to drag the eldest prince to ride horses, shoot arrows, and fight, but his mother always forces him to study, Comparing the two, the second mother is naturally more likable. Under the influence of this second mother, he is very enthusiastic about fighting.

"Fight?" Gao Yuan raised his head and looked forward in surprise. Jicheng's law and order is very good, and there are very few such group fights.

"Let's go, take a look!" Pulling Gao Zhiyuan, Gao Yuan strode forward, Ye Jing'er wanted to stop him, but seeing Gao Yuan's father and son's excitement, and looking at the front and back, He Weiyuan had already He quietly spread out the guards and formed a circle, protecting his group in the middle, and didn't say anything.

Or there has been no such scene in Jicheng for too long. The palace guards circled around arm in arm, leaving only a little space for Gao Yuan and the others. Gao Yuan saw that it was not good, so he quickly hugged Gao Zhiyuan, and pulled Ye Jing'er to his side with the other hand.

"The mentality of watching the excitement, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, cannot be outdone!" Gao Yuan lamented in his heart, he finally went out to the palace, and it was so difficult to see the excitement.

Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded at the end of the street, and a group of police officers from the guard of Jicheng City appeared, and a leader of the team shouted loudly to separate the crowded crowd, and ran towards the scene of the fight.

Jicheng people are still in awe of the officials. Although they are so crowded that their chests stick to their backs, they still try their best to make way for these head catchers.

"Jiang Dalang, it's you again. This is the second time in three days. Do you want to go to prison?" Take them away, and bring them all back to the Yamen.”

The excitement did not turn out to be successful, and the passers-by dispersed in disappointment. The excited Gao Zhiyuan couldn't help feeling elated. "Daddy, I'm hungry, and I want to eat barbecue." Opened a barbecue restaurant, Gao Zhiyuan often hangs out with He Lanyan, but he also has a special love for this grassland barbecue.

"Okay, eat barbecue!" Gao Yuan nodded. Now the barbecue restaurant in Jicheng has followed Kou Shuguang's overseas voyage, and a series of seasonings such as chili, cumin and other spices have entered the Han Dynasty, and the flavor is not as good as before. It is richer and more diverse, but the Huns have a unique advantage in this aspect, and the barbecue restaurants they open are always the best business in Jicheng.

Sitting in the shop, the business is really not so good, Gao Yuan finally found a table in the corner, and the guards like He Weiyuan can only stay outside the door and pretend to be idlers.

"Boss, let me have a portion of each of your special dishes!" Gao Yuan shouted to the waiter in the waiter in fluent Xiongnu language. The waiter looked like a Hun.

"Hey, the guest officer is from outside the customs, right?" Xiaoer became very enthusiastic when he heard the Hun language.

"Well, I have been outside the customs for many years!" Gao Yuan said with a smile. "I just came back!"

"The guest officer is really lucky, our restaurant is the most authentic prairie barbecue restaurant in Jicheng." Xiao Er came over and wiped the table attentively, "Does the guest officer know why our store is so good? The recipes in this store come from the palace, and they are the recipes that our king usually eats for barbecue. You are from outside the pass, so you should be familiar with our king’s deeds, right?"

"You're lying!" Gao Zhiyuan said crisply. He can also speak the Hun language quite well, of course, this is also the credit of He Lanyan.

"Oh, the little guest officer can also speak our words!" The smile on Xiaoer's face was even bigger, "How could I lie, our Princess Helan is the princess, and the recipe for these barbecues is Helan The princess brought it out from the palace and taught it to our owner, so our store is the most expensive in Jicheng, but the business is also the best. Who wouldn't want to eat the recipe made by the king himself? Otherwise, we can rent it here Starting a shop?"

Gao Yuan chuckled, "Yes or not, you go get it and I'll eat it first."

"That's that, sir, wait a moment, there are too many people here, and I'm too busy. First, let's drink this refreshing herbal tea, which is specially prepared by our shop."

"Could it be that he came out of the palace too?" Gao Yuan joked.

"That's not it." Xiaoer smiled awkwardly, turned around and greeted other guests.

"Don't think this shop is really related to Yanzi?" Ye Jinger looked at Gao Yuan suspiciously.

"Looking at Yan Zi's carefree nature, is it a material for doing business? It's all about making a big banner out of tiger skin. The owner of this shop is really a talent."

Ye Jing'er chuckled lightly and said, "Tell Yanzi to go after you go back, so she will come and have a look."

Gao Yuan smiled and was about to answer, but his attention was attracted by the conversation of Pang Li and the others.

"That Jiang Dalang is really pitiful. I heard that he invested thousands of taels of silver and finally developed the formula for making soap, and only produced samples. The master was poached by the Ke family at a high price. Now Fortunately, people and money are empty.”

"How do you know it's soap?"

"Well, this lawsuit has been brought to the Jicheng Lower Court, but Jiang Dalang lost the case. I heard that the king encouraged free business competition. Then the judge sentenced the Jiang family to lose. Do you think Jiang Dalang is convinced? This If you don’t go to Ke’s shop to make trouble every few days, I think Jiang Dalang may really go to jail if you continue to do it for a few more days.”

"It's pitiful, but this incident also reminds us that in the future, the master master at home will have to live well, and we must also guard against poaching corners from the outside, otherwise we will finally come up with something new, and it will be gone in a blink of an eye."

"That's right, my family is dyed, the master who specializes in color ingredients, I treat him better than my parents, think about it, if he is poached, my The secret recipe is gone in a blink of an eye. Do you think I'm not afraid?"

Listening to the conversation between the two people next door, Gao Yuan frowned gradually. (To be continued)
