On the way back to Beijing, Yuan Shao showed enough closeness. Liu Tao was not alienated, but he did not get too close. He talked about it from time to time, as long as he did not involve the position of the Han clan relatives, he would talk about it.

After spending a few days together, Yuan Shao also knew about Liu Tao's position. So after he was named the General of the Yulin Central Army, he did not take the initiative to look for it. After all, the interests of the two sides were different, and there were even a slight conflict.

In theory, the relationship became colder, but now my brother... I feel like you are going to plot against me with this attitude.

"Brother Benchu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Liu Tao was worried in his heart, and he couldn't stand it with a smile on the surface. After all, the literary meetings held at other people's houses were still stern, so it would be better not to come from the beginning.

"It's also wrong for Yuan. After returning to Beijing, he has a lot of official duties and cannot invite his brothers to come out to gather." Yuan Shao took the initiative to compensate him, at least Liu Tao really couldn't see the elements of the acting.

Yes, very busy, strictly speaking, everyone is very busy...

"I just came to Luoyang. I was not familiar with each other and didn't know where to go. It's hard to invite me to do so. I hope I won't be surprised by my brother." Liu Tao must be polite.

The two of them said one by one, and they seemed to have become friends who had never seen each other for many years, and they were not as good as sworn brothers. The guests around were naturally very strange, who would come to this young man?

Fortunately, most of them followed their elders. The young ones didn't know that the bosses at the level of the Three Dukes and Nine Lords must have recognized Liu Tao. They looked at their son with confusion and gave them a whisper.

The Han clan relatives, military merits and titles, and Lu Zhi’s disciples, these three identities are indeed a bit shocking. Although they have made several great achievements in half a year and countless minor achievements, they have become the General of the Yulin Central Army from a white body, which is a manifestation of their hard power.

Looking at them again, they are basically Langguan, and some have not even been promoted to the official position, after all, they have not yet achieved the championship.

"Isn't it just that I'm lucky, take advantage of the Yellow Turban Thief to make trouble..." There were still one or two sour people, and I just thought that Liu Tao had good luck and caught a good opportunity.

The key is that as long as there are more than two people with this idea, they will form a connection. For a moment, a small team was formed, intending to make things difficult for Liu Tao at this literary meeting.

After all, although Liu Tao was a disciple of Lu Zhi, he was granted an official position for his military merits. Wen Tao didn't know what to do.

Of course, Liu Tao didn't know about these things. He was still wondering what Yuan Shao had to do with such enthusiasm. He probably wouldn't have the idea of ​​winning over his brain-dead thoughts. After being together for so long, he would definitely know that he was on Liu Hong's side.

Then it means deducting interests from political positions, such as commercial profits...

Thinking of this, Liu Tao knew that there was a high probability that Yuan Shao should have come to the papermaking workshop. After all, there are actually two papermaking methods under the name of the Yuan family, which are larger than those of the royal family, and the key is to acquire the almost monopoly raw materials.

It is precisely because of the exclusion of these two workshops that the Royal Manufacturing Workshop has been in a state of loss. Otherwise, how could Liu Hong have transferred it directly to himself with a wave of his hand?

So, did Yuan Valve look at the profits of toilet paper? Liu Tao couldn't help but maliciously guessed that he was planning to ask for craftsmanship or to invest directly? Having said that, this concept should be proposed first, right?

Strictly speaking, the concept of shares should have been established in the Song Dynasty, right?!

Yuan Shao was not just for receiving Liu Tao, but seemed to be responsible for receiving other guests. At the same time, there was another young man who was a bit like him, who should be his younger brother Yuan Shu.

Originally, one was a illegitimate brother and a legitimate younger brother. But with Yuan Shao adopted Yuan An, the illegitimate eldest son became the eldest son of the sidelines, and the half-brother of the same father and turned into a clan brother.

Cai Yan has been mingled with other women, so naturally he can't come to say hello. Liu Tao didn't say nonsense. The three brothers, according to Yuan Shao's arrangement, sat down and waited in the seat.

In each two seats, there were more than 20 guests invited, plus female relatives, at least sixty or seventy. However, the female relatives did not seem to have a meal here.

"Women are not allowed to eat at the table?" Liu Tao asked in a low voice.

"Men and women have different seats." Lu Yan didn't know where Liu Tao heard of it, so he explained in a low voice.

From "Book of Rites: Nei Ze": In the seventh year, men and women had different meals and did not eat together. Confucius advocated this, and the sovereign were all Confucian disciples. Therefore, in some more formal banquets, the female family arranged to have a banquet in other places, separated from the men.

If you take a step back, a man can talk about women in ten words. At that time, it will be embarrassing to talk about which girl in the brothel is talented and so on in front of others. If you don’t talk about it, the atmosphere will not be interesting and it will be boring.

"It's just the young female gangsters these days..." Liu Tao sighed a little when he heard this.

As the guests arrived one after another, the food was also brought up. What made Liu Tao laugh and cry was that what came up was actually white flour steamed buns, buns and soy milk fried dough sticks. Do you feel embarrassed to bring out this thing in front of himself, the creator?

The key was that I was surprised, or I had never seen these things, Liu Tao looked around and found that there was really nothing. It was a ghost now. Could it be that these things have become well known to everyone without knowing them?!

Meow, I haven’t paid me a patent fee yet, okay? Liu Tao made it himself to satisfy his desires. Then he was afraid that Liu Hong would greed, so he presented it to the palace. It was said that only a few people knew, but who knew it would be known in a blink of an eye.

According to this logic, it is said that the palaces of each dynasty are sieves. It seems that this sentence is fine. It may even be not a sieve, but a funnel!

"It's not as delicious as my brother's..." Zhang Fei ate a few bites of the buns, and then muttered in a low voice.

The key is that the atmosphere is very bad. In the past, in the army, I ate such buns in a few bites and then poured a bowl of soy milk. The feeling was called refreshing! But here, I ate too fast and looked too rude. I chewed one or two people slowly, and it felt uncomfortable to see it!

Fortunately, it’s not like “don’t talk”, and they also chat with each other, otherwise it would be very strange to eat quietly like this.

More about officials talking, and they were talking about the situation of the Han Dynasty's government. As they were talking, they had to talk about the deficit of the treasury and the deficit of the treasury was because the eunuchs were in chaos in the government, which led to the local people's misfortune and the survival of the people was still a problem, so how to pay taxes.

I am still sighing that every time I collect taxes, I don’t know how many people are forced to sell their children and daughters, and their families are destroyed...

Liu Tao looked at them silently and said, "I criticize them, even if I criticize them, I don't know that the people's life is not good, it is the cause of the landlord's annexation of the land."

The real culprit is the weather. In the past decade, drought, flood and flood. People themselves are on the food and clothing line. If they can survive in a few years, they must have been rich peasants a few years ago. A few years ago, they would probably either die or sell themselves.

If you don’t say anything, you have a lot of words. In the end, it’s because of your different positions. Liu Tao simply kept silent and asked them to say whatever they like...
