At night, lights are lit everywhere.

The entire mansion was brightly illuminated by the lights. The sages were sitting in the mansion. In front of them were all kinds of delicacies and precious drinks. This was Lu Lu's mansion. In order to welcome Lu Tazhi this time, he

It can be considered that he spent a lot of money. He took out specialties from various places and fine wines that had been collected for a long time. He filled the entire mansion with delicacies from mountains and seas. He also specially brought in a large group of musicians, dancers, and even storytellers.

.

Zhou Jian and the people from Fanshi sat happily around Lu Lu, with smiles on their faces.

"Lu, my carriage has been with me for six or seven years. It would be an embarrassment for you to come to your mansion in such a carriage. You don't want to see me embarrass you like this, right? You can give me a carriage."

Car, I heard you have a car here. It is made of South Vietnam’s precious wood and decorated with gold..."

The people from Fan City said with a smile.

But Lu Lu said with a straight face, "No money, no car."

"It's rare for brothers to get together, how can they ask for it?"

Zhou Jian said something to people from Fan City, and then said: "I'm getting married soon, and I won't ask you for anything. You have many big mansions under your name. How about you lend me one to live in for decades?"

"If I don't have money or a house, I won't borrow it."

You may say who is the strongest among the sages now. There may be disputes among the people, but if you ask who is the richest, there is no objection. Lu Lu’s banquet has already proved the problem. The most important thing is to start with the elder.

After getting married, all the sages wanted to suck Master Lu's blood, but Master Lu was not willing.

Lu Tazhi shook his head and said with emotion: "When I was in the Western Regions, I could hear Lu Lu's reputation as a rich Jiahou. He opened four large factories in Xiting Kingdom and employed more than 6,000 people...

While we were spinning cloth and making paper for him, the merchants here still needed to go to the Western Regions to do business. Our rich man simply opened his factory to the Western Regions without sending merchants to travel..."

"I also heard that the inns and restaurants along the Xiting Kingdom are all owned by Lu Kai. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. There are at least sixty inns in Xiting Kingdom.

The wise men shook their heads and cursed this stingy big dog. Even Zhou Yafu looked at him in surprise.

"Oh, what do you know? All kinds of taxes on me...Forget it, my life is not easy anyway, and I don't have much food at home..."

"Well, you keep gold in your house, so what do you do with food?"

"What kind of generals do you think we are? If I had known, I would have stabbed myself cruelly and become a valet in the palace!"

Lu Lu was furious, "Nai Gong is a servant! Not a eunuch!!"

Liu Chang looked at everyone teasing Lu Lu and shook his head, "Okay, it's really not easy to be rich. He has to worry about it all day long. He can't spend so much money, and he worries about how to spend it every day.

..."

The atmosphere was very good, everyone except Lu Lu was very happy.

I don’t know since when, Lu Lu has become the only target of fun at the banquet. If you say that the sages have a bad relationship with him, that’s not right. Their feelings are still very deep. However, every time there is a banquet, the sages

Lu Lu is always the first to be attacked. Who has a beard, is a rich prince, is a prostitute, etc. Anyway, everyone gathers around to hurt Lu Lu, and Lu Lu is always angry and yelling at him.

"Lu, your family property is so large, don't the officials in the temple have any objections?"

Zhou Yafu asked curiously.

Lu Lu said disdainfully: "Yes, why not? You scold me all day long. Since Emperor Gao founded the country, the Han Dynasty has been simple and unpretentious. These ministers have wanted to enjoy it for a long time, but there is no such opportunity. Now I

Those luxurious places under my name have long been occupied by these ministers. They hang out there all day long and scold me when they come out. I have discovered that the conduct of these people is worse than that of prostitutes!"

"I've blocked so many people's way of making money. They wish I didn't die!"

"If you don't do business, you wouldn't know that many of the industries of this big man were monopolized by these people's clans! But now, I have changed this situation!"

"Yes, you have the monopoly now!

"

"Fart, do you know how many people I have supported? I also helped stabilize market prices and balance the prices of raw materials. Have you all heard about my newly established bank? Small businessmen all borrowed money from me to start their own businesses.

restaurants, shops... I am different from them..."

Liu Chang nodded, "That's true. He also helped Lian a lot. Those inns in Xiting Kingdom were actually losing money. In the past, there weren't many people there. It was I who asked Lu Lu to stay there.

It was built there to welcome passing merchants, and the bank was still in a state of deficit.

Lu Lu shook his head, "It's okay. This time the merchants are doing business, my post office is starting to make money. As for the bank, it's still a trial run at the moment. There may be changes in the future. The more business develops, the more this bank will become."

To make money, sooner or later there will come a time.

Lu Tazhi understood, "No wonder His Majesty doesn't object to your doing business. It turns out that you are His Majesty's royal merchant!" "I am here to make money. Please be more polite to me in the future. Your salary and salary may not be earned by me."

!

"Then you can earn more!"

The wise men smiled and the atmosphere was very good. Lu Tazhi asked: "Your Majesty, what was the result of the merchants' return this time?" "Of course the result was very good. They brought back a lot of supplies, which were used by the big men.

Those that are affordable have now begun to be sold in various places. The price of food has begun to decrease. The supply of food in various places is improving. I have also asked warehouses in various places to store a lot of food. The best is cotton. In the cold winter this year, the food in the north

The people finally don’t have to suffer anymore... There are also a lot of spices, these things are equally precious..."

"It's a pity that the Marquis of Pingyang insisted on showing off his strength, but now he is trapped in poison. I still don't know how to tell the queen..."

"Your Majesty, he is poisoned. Can he return by water?"

"What waterway? You're overthinking... Even if it's accessible by waterway, he can't take a car, so how can he take a boat?"

"It's a pity that Xiahou Zao is not here, otherwise, he would definitely be able to give very good ideas!"

"Hahaha, you actually dare to slander our Xiahou Taiwei like this, I must write to him and tell him!"

The group of sages soon got drunk, everyone laughed and ate meat. Liu Chang sang a song again. The song was really unpleasant. Not a single note was in the key he should be in. The few people around him sang.

The musician's face changed, but he still bit the bullet and tried his best to make his instrument keep up with the emperor's rhythm. Generally speaking, the singers would find the rhythm of the playing, but this time, the offensive and defensive momentum was different.

.

It is not easy to find the tune in which the elder sings. That is to say, these musicians are all invited by Lu Lu with a lot of money. They can barely keep up and allow Liu Chang to sing decently. Liu Chang is already early at this moment.

No more windy songs.

Because he thinks this song is not good. What does it mean to be a warrior? It should be a warrior who looks like a warrior, and a warrior with a straight body is also worthy of it?

In order to show his extraordinary literary talent, the elder made slight changes to Da Feng Song. Every time he sang, his lyrics were always different, and from time to time he would go to the styles of other countries. The previous moment he sang the Songs of Chu,

The next moment it might be Tang Feng, and the next sentence might be Qi Feng.

The most painful thing is for the dancers. They usually dance according to the rhythm, music, and singing, but when faced with such a situation, they are all in a hurry and are disorganized.

Before Liu Chang sang, the musicians had always felt that Jiancheng Hou had earned money by giving them so much money to play. But now, they realized that they had lost money and should add more money.

Liu Chang staggered out of Lu Lu's mansion, and several sages had already fallen.

Lu Lu couldn't stand up anymore. Fortunately, Li Guang was guarding the door. When he saw Liu Chang coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and supported him. Liu Chang turned his head and looked at Li Guang who was supporting him and asked with a smile:

"Ann? When did you come?"

Li Guang's face darkened, "Your Majesty, I am Li Guang, the doctor."

"An, take Nai Gong back to the palace quickly!"

Li Guang drove the car, always suspecting that His Majesty was deliberately playing tricks on him, but he had no evidence. Liu Chang returned to the palace, but did not go to Houde Hall, but went to Jiaofang Hall.

The number of times Liu Chang went to Jiaofang Palace

Very often, because his favorite daughter is here. Liu Ling is just a baby, sleeping and crying all day long. Liu Chang doesn't know how to take care of children, so Cao Shu raises her personally. Every time he

When they arrived, Liu Bao was mostly asleep. Liu Chang staggered into the hall. Cao Shu had not rested yet and was waiting for him to come over.

Liu Chang looked around, "What are you carrying?"

"You have gone to bed long ago...Why did you drink so much in the inner room? Forget it, go see her again tomorrow!"

Liu Chang looked at the bed and saw little Liu Cizheng lying pitifully on the bed with tears in his eyes. When he saw Liu Chang coming, he couldn't help shouting: "Father!!"

Liu Chang walked to him, sat down, looked at his spanked red butt, and shook his head, "Why do you always beat him? The child is still young, what problem can spanking solve?"

"This guy asked my mother for a cane today, saying she wanted to beat you!"

"What?!"

Liu Chang immediately reached out and slapped Liu Ci on the buttocks, causing Liu Ci to cry out in pain again.

"Hahaha, this Shuzi. Today the prince came to me and said that there is no way to teach this Shuzi anymore. I think this Shuzi is not suitable for studying. It is better to go to the corvee."

Cao Shu had a straight face, rolled her eyes at him, and didn't reply. Liu Chang remembered something and slowly sat in front of Cao Shu. He licked his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head, "There is something.

, I have to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Something happened in Pingyanghou, don't worry... Lian originally just ordered him to trade with those Shendu people in the Western Region, but he insisted on going to Shendu, got sick, and is currently unable to treat the disease in Shendu...

By car, the Peacock Kingdom will take good care of him, but I don’t know how long he will have to recover from his illness. I heard that his health is not very good.

Cao Shu's expression was very calm, without any surprise.

"I know."

"Ah? Who told you?"
