Huo Guang's words made Pu Tianjing spit out all his tea.

See His Majesty?

Who is your majesty, the current emperor?

Is that something you can see if you want?

Immediately!

Pu Tian looked at Huo Guang angrily and said, "Little guy, is your head broken, or is there something wrong with my ears?"

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "None of them!"

"Ha..." Pu Tian snorted softly, and then said: "Then if you want to see the emperor, don't ask me. I don't have that much ability. I am just a ranger, and I know some people even in the court. But I

I can't even see the three princes and nine ministers, let alone the emperor."

Pu Tian rejected his request without thinking.

He didn't pay much attention to this.

After thinking about it for a while.

Then he asked again: "Uncle, didn't you say you know Sang Hongyang?"

"Yes, I know you." Pu Tian glanced at Huo Guang suspiciously and asked, "You want to see Sang Hongyang? Didn't you say you wanted to see the emperor just now? Why did you change your mind now?"

Huo Guang just smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. If I can't see the emperor, then I'll do the next best thing."

"Isn't Sang Hongyang a servant?"

"Seeing him is actually almost the same as meeting the emperor."

These words made Pu Tian frown slightly.

What does it mean to see Sang Hongyang, is it similar to meeting the emperor?

Not even close!

He wanted to get angry, but fortunately he held it back and did not have an attack. After glaring at Huo Guang, Pu Tian asked: "Then why do you suddenly want to see the person in the palace?"

Why do you suddenly want to see the person in the palace?

No need to ask!

Huo Guang calmly stretched out his finger, then tapped the table gently, and said with a smile: "Of course you want to give me the green light for this restaurant business!"

"Give the green light, what do you mean?" Pu Tian became more and more confused as he listened.

Huo Guang knew that he didn't understand, so he explained: "No matter where you do business or what kind of business you do, you must obtain the permission of the imperial court before you can operate it. Do you think my statement is correct?"

"Well... what you said this time makes sense!" Pu Tian nodded.

Huo Guang continued: "If the name is not right, the words will not be right. If I can get the person in the palace to agree to the existence of the restaurant, no one will dare to disturb my business in the future."

Hear this.

Pu Tian couldn't help but sneered and said mockingly: "Then I have to wake you up. You are not a hussar general. Why does the man in the palace want to see you?"

"Also, do you need to alert the higher-ups for your trivial matter?"

"The current Emperor of Han hates merchants the most. Don't you know that your business is also a target of His Majesty's attacks?"

Pu Tian, ​​this is not a wake-up call, this is a joke.

but.

What he said is true. Who cares about your trivial matters as an emperor?

certainly.

Faced with these three questions, Huo Guang did not mind the trouble and said patiently: "It doesn't have to be in person. I just need to tell my thoughts to the person in the palace to hear them."

"As for the importance of this matter, it depends on one's perspective. From your perspective, it seems like a small matter, but from my perspective, it is a big deal!"

"The emperor hates businessmen, and the country's policy is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. But who has made His Majesty focus on improving finances in the past two years, so he needs businessmen, and even more businessmen like me who can make money."

"Servant Sang Hongyang is the best example."

Why has Sang Hongyang been favored by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the past two years? Is it simply because he is good at calculation and eloquence?

wrong!

There are too many people in the court who are good at calculation and profit-making, and there is no shortage of people like Sang Hongyang.

But His Majesty still chose him!

There is only one reason for him, and that is because he values ​​his identity as a businessman. When the wealthy businessmen gain momentum, they will use him to attack the wealthy businessmen and eliminate the powerful.

How perfect this method is!

Pu Tian glared at Huo Guang and said: "After all, isn't it just for me to introduce you to Sang Hongyang? I'm surprised. Wouldn't it be easier for you to go to General Hussar for this matter?"

"Brother?" Huo Guang frowned and shook his head: "No, no, no, my uncle and brother don't know about my business. I want to maintain the image of a good boy in their hearts!"

Finished.

Huo Guang grinned at Pu Tian, ​​which made the uncle a little speechless.

Pu Tian couldn't help but shook his head and said: "If you want me to introduce Sang Hongyang to you... it's not impossible!"

"But you have to think of me as the one in the palace first and you can convince me!"

"If you can't even convince me, I advise you not to waste any effort."

Think of him as the one in the palace...

ha?

This uncle really dares to say that!

Huo Guang pondered for a while, and then asked: "Do you know that in order to increase fiscal revenue, the imperial court included not only the salt and iron official business, but even the wine, as official brewing?"

"Of course I know, don't forget, I still have the identity of the head of the Layer family. My family is also involved in these businesses, but unfortunately they are all taken over by the imperial court." Pu Tian said lightly.

But what he looks like?

like...

Don't care too much about this matter.

Huo Guang looked at his expression. Although it was strange, he still asked: "Liquor is not made of salt and iron, and brewing is extremely simple. Therefore, families like the uncle, even if they are banned by the government, still brew privately.

Behavior?"

"What do you think?"

Pu Tian asked a question in return, but did not answer.

But the meaning is already obvious.

Huo Guang nodded and said with a smile: "Not to mention selling, even if you drink the private wine yourself, the government can't check it. Therefore, the imperial court put the wine, official brew, and salt and iron official camps together, but in the end there was still no revenue. From this point of view, we can

Proves that this policy is problematic!”

Pu Tian suddenly became a little annoyed and asked: "Are you saying that the court's policy is wrong?"

Forehead...

Don’t say this nonsense!

Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I want to say that I have a way to improve it so that the financial income from official wine brewing can be greatly increased!"

"Improve? How to improve?" Pu Tian squinted his eyes, a little doubtful.

Huo Guang said: "If you open a restaurant, set up account books and strictly check the drinks. Private wine brewing is difficult to investigate, but restaurants are easy to investigate..."

"and!"

"In addition to the fact that the official wine can be sold directly to restaurants, the restaurant's revenue can also be taxed."

"This can increase fiscal revenue again."

Pu Tian frowned slightly and said, "You mean, just your restaurant can increase the imperial court's fiscal revenue?"

Don't know why.

Huo Guang felt a little tired. It took him a long time to explain, but the uncle still didn’t understand it!

After sighing inwardly.

He could only continue to elaborate: "My restaurant is just a model. If it flourishes, then the restaurant industry will bloom everywhere."

"What do businessmen love to do most?"

"That's plagiarism and copying other people's methods of success."

"My place is the first restaurant in the Han Dynasty. As long as the court gives preferential treatment, and later businessmen smell the business opportunities, they will rush into the restaurant industry like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, and then it will flourish everywhere. During this period, the court wants to improve

For fiscal revenue, we can just increase the tax revenue from restaurants."

"If this happens, it will be difficult for the country's fiscal revenue not to increase!"

The so-called dead Taoist friends are not dead, but those who follow the trend will die.
