Chapter 398

Liu Yuanqiao is actually a hero. His personal vision is very high and arrogant. He actually despises his son. He hates iron and steel and feels angry.

At least before his son joined the army, there was nothing that made him feel comfortable and reliable. Since he let his son go out to join the army, what he did has impressed him a little. Liu Yuanqiao sighed when he came here: "Teaching a son is like teaching him to swim. Throw him into the river and let him struggle. Otherwise, everything will be under his own protection and it will be difficult to become a talent."

Especially after his son got married, what he did was more mature and more stable, which made him feel at ease. At least his son met his expectations and did what he thought was very proud of. One of their father and son was the governor and the other was the chief soldier. It was also considered that the father and son were ministers in the same hall, and the official was of high quality for a while Many people say that their father and son, their father, heroes and heroes, are also very face-saving. Liu Yuanqiao felt very gratified.

Liu Yuanqiao was originally a man who was good at playing tricks and tricks. To describe him in the words of later generations, that is, give him a lever to pry the earth. Since Liu Bu has done so many things and changed so many things, he has stronger strength and more methods.

Not only did Liu Bu's ambition grow with the growth of the Liu family's strength, but even Liu Yuanqiao was also ambitious. After he became governor Denglai and his son became the chief soldier, he had an idea to turn their Liu family into a giant valve. However, with the further expansion of their potential, he felt that his own layout pattern was still a little small. They Liu What the family can get is far more than that. Their current strength no longer has to work for the Zhu family, no longer obey him and be their slaves. They can try every means to make themselves live better and live better. In this case, they brought back a lot of silver.

Liu Bu reported to his father before he planned to hatch silver. At that time, Liu Yuanqiao thought that such a plan was good. If he could get back hundreds of thousands of liang of silver, it would be very good. However, he didn't expect that they played so well and got back so much silver. Although Liu Yuanqiao was knowledgeable, he followed him for the rest of his life He was used to dealing with money and grain, but he had never seen so much silver in his life. At this moment, he was in front of Jinshan and Yinshan. He had never seen so much silver in one place in his life. So much silver went here in a cart. They kept pulling it day and night. He ordered the craftsman to melt the gold and silver into new gold and silver ingots. After melting them, others It's impossible to track, even more impossible to track.

Whether it's a war or a rebellion, it's actually money mother's food. They didn't have money before and it's difficult to expand their power, but now they have so much money, which makes them have a new idea. You know, the most basic thing for them to expand their army is to eat, drink, and follow them. These people also need money, so it's actually necessary to raise a soldier Extremely expensive.

Only extremely rich families can support a soldier. The reason why those generals practice raising servants is that he embezzles other people's military salaries to support a servant. Often, he embezzles ten people's money and food to support a servant. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to raise a servant, which also makes his Liu family stretched thin.

The Liu family in Linqing is the richest in the world. This is actually a publicity means of Liu Yuanqiao. They are rich, but they are not rich in the world. Even Liu Yuanqiao estimates that he is far inferior to the clans of King Lu's house, King De's house and King Kong's house.

However, Liu Yuanqiao is very clever. He is very good at selling and packaging himself. He knows that the greater your reputation these days, the more people come to work for you, the greater your background, the more capital, and the more others believe in you.

The Liu family didn't say that the Liu family was the richest in the world before, but after he took charge of the Liu family for more than 20 years, he succeeded in doubling the Liu family's property and money. Many times, he relied on his propaganda means and the means of making a big fuss.

He has achieved great success in running the family industry by this means. At the same time, he used the same means when he was an official and running the local government, which also made him achieve great success. Among so many local civil servants, he was the first to restore peace in the war and pay taxes successfully.

Of course, their success in paying taxes is also because they are willing to pay taxes and want to make some achievements to please the top. We should know that there are many Qingliu scholar bureaucrats who came from the imperial court. When they were officials, they did not regard the amount of taxes as their political achievements, but took educating the place as their main purpose.

There are many clean-up officials who will not take the initiative to collect taxes at all, because they believe that taking the initiative to collect taxes and force the people is an act of losing face and identity.

They rely on morality and virtue to become officials. They rely on educating the place and inheriting culture. As for collecting taxes and urging taxes, these things are just handed over to those vulgar officials. Turbid officials do it. They don't have to do such things at all. Instead, they have to take the initiative to draw a clear line with these things, which can reflect their lofty status.

It is precisely because of this that they pay less and less taxes, but the power is delegated to lower level officials. These officials are not soft at all in exploiting places, extortion, corruption and bribery, but they have made a lot of money and grain in places and knocked out a lot of money and grain.

In this way, the imperial court has no taxes and the National Treasury has no money, but the local government has handed over several times of taxes and money. The local government is withering and weakening day by day, and so is the imperial court. Only the officials in the middle are rich.

Now Liu Bu's means in Jiangnan is to successfully obtain all the money and food from these officials and all their working capital. This money finally flows to their Liu family.

This makes them very beautiful and extravagant. Liu Yuanqiao can make such a big scene when he has no silver. After he has so much silver, his heart is really wild.

Compared with Liu Yuanqiao, Liu Bu is just a little conspirator and a little fox, but Liu Yuanqiao is a real old fox and conspirator.

If Liu Yuanqiao was afraid of Daming in the past, but now he has no fear of the imperial court or Daming at all, because their recent practice is actually no different from rebellion. They play with the imperial court and the government. The other party just allows them to play with them and lose their prestige. How can he be in awe?

Even Liu Yuanqiao now has an idea that the Zhu royal family has lost its deer? Can my Liu family take advantage of the situation?

After Liu Yuanqiao had these ideas, he looked for the same examples in history. He hoped he could replicate such success.

After looking at history, Liu Yuanqiao thought that their father and son's current situation was a bit like the Li family in the Sui Dynasty. Although they were not as prominent as the five clan and seven surnames of the Li family, what the Li family publicized was that they were the seven surnames of the fifth middle school. In fact, they were also very watery. They should not be the real five clan and seven surnames, but a branch of them.

In terms of the origin of the surname, the Liu family is not bad. In history, there were dozens of people who were emperors, but one of the most prominent surnames, that is, after Li Tang became emperor, it overwhelmed the scenery of his surname Liu.

Now that Liu Yuanqiao had the idea of rebellion, he began to find his ancestors for its beginning.

What is looking for ancestors? The so-called finding ancestors means that many people feel that their birth background is not dignified enough after becoming emperors, so they stand for their celebrities and more prominent families?

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's family has been poor for generations, but after becoming the emperor, they still call themselves Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty. After they are also celebrities, they climb up such celebrity ancestors, and they also have light on their faces.

The ancestors of the Liu family were not fastidious. In the past, they were extremely poor. They didn't even have a genealogy. They were so poor that they just happened to curry favor with a eunuch at the time of the grand master, which made them rise. Even if they rise, they are only rich people. They dare not talk about the powerful and imperial families.

But now they have so much power, so much money, and so much power. Both father and son are senior officials and have real power. They have new ideas. They hope to find a more prominent ancestor for themselves, and then they can make a better start.

If it were Liu Bu, he would not do so. He believed that the princes and generals would rather have seed? Since Liu Bang, a local ruffian, and Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar, can be an emperor, no one in the world can be an emperor. If you have strength, you can be an emperor as long as you are lucky enough.

However, Liu Yuanqiao is different. He is a person of this era. He thinks that origin and blood lineage are very important. Origin and blood lineage often determine your destiny and pattern. Therefore, Xiaoxiong is in Liu Yuanqiao. What he thinks is like most people in this era. To make himself high-profile, he must find a more dignified ancestor for himself. After several considerations, He came to a conclusion that he was a member of the royal family after Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He Liu Yuanqiao is secretly making a new genealogy. This new genealogy must make them a new family. At least they can be related to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. Then they are the descendants of the royal family for dozens of generations. After having such an identity, they wait for the opportunity and rise up when the world is in chaos.
