It seems that between the two sides, it’s better to be satisfied with verbal battles!

In fact, Liu Yi was not in a hurry at this time.

The government was operating in an orderly manner. Every more than one day, his luck would be more stable. The emperor who occupied the center of the court and was justified. The initiative was in his hands.

On the contrary, the rebellious side is different. It is the rebellion that at the beginning, with its sharpness, the offensive was the most fierce and the momentum was the most powerful.

As the delay is delayed for a long time, the morale and the people will continue to hesitate and fall.

Rebellion is a dangerous thing. Although the three tribes of Yi are a little exaggerated, the fate will definitely be to be ruined and affect the family. This cannot be escaped.

Therefore, if you find that your rebellion is not possible, most people will be shaken in their hearts.

However, most of the time, when the court learned that the rebellion was often caused by rapid extermination or for the prestige of the court, it would immediately mobilize troops to quell the rebellion without regard to the slightest.

At this time, because of the hasty and insufficient preparations, there are many opportunities to defeat the war, which gives the rebels the opportunity to rise sharply for nothing.

Liu Yi was not in a hurry, although in the court, he asked the emperor to send troops immediately to eliminate the rebellion and pile up memorials and cases.

However, the other ministers in the court were not as calm as Liu Yi.

c∴ “Your Majesty, it’s time to send troops! You can’t let these rebels become bigger…” Xun Huai persuaded with great thoughts.

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I'll talk about this later. Yes, have those people I asked you to invite to come?"

Xun Huai smiled bitterly: "Here you come!"

"Let them come to see me..."

In a moment, there were five or six people who were dressed in gorgeous clothes but obviously without an official body. They walked into the imperial garden and did not dare to show their grandness and bowed to Fan Bufan.

Fan Bufan smiled with satisfaction: "Don't be too polite for everyone. Are you all my hometown party..."

It seemed that the emperor's humor made these people laugh twice.

"The king regards the world as his family and is rich in the world. Where is the village party? Please pay attention to your Majesty and speak with caution..."

A Na Yan stood up and kowtowed and said.

After hearing Surong, Fan Bufan said to Nayan: "You are right, I'm saying it's my fault!"

He bowed and returned, retreated aside, like a clay sculpture.

The people who were already very nervous were sweating all over their heads when they saw this.

Although they are big businessmen, they have a huge net worth of 100 million yuan. Some even have fleets and do business to Fusang.

However, their titles were quite low. The titles of the Great Chu had long been popularized by every citizen of the empire. Different titles and their political and social status enjoyed were different.

Among these people, the highest title is only the right update of the 14th level.

This is still the result of their countless times of winning the sod and pleading the title.

But the fifteenth grade is above the top, but no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it. Only by doing military achievements can you be awarded a title.

Only those who are above the fifteenth rank are qualified to come to the palace and have the qualifications to pay homage to the emperor.

This time, they made an exception! Everyone was in a panic, but they were nervous and excited!

The emperor's laws and royal style, but they were not qualified to see before? They were all shocked and almost had to hold their breath.

The so-called "Left Historian" records the words, and the Right Historian records the actions. There are also words that pick up the rest and fill in the gaps.

Follow the emperor all the time, record the emperor's words and deeds, and serve as the law of future generations.

Don’t think that Fan Bufan just joked and said something casually. It’s no big deal. This is a matter of no reason to be looking for trouble.

In fact, this is not the case. A king regards the world as his family and shows the world fairness.

The most important thing in governing is fairness. The division of regions is the most unacceptable.

It was just like the false crime fraud during Zhu Yuanzhang's time, and the case of the North and South. It was nothing more than to bridge the hearts of the northern people.

Although this is an unjust case, it has to be done politically.

In fact, even now, the division of Da Chu has become very serious with the rise of Jiangzuo's economy and culture.

Fan Bufan thought that if this sentence from Jiangzuo people was spread, it might cause serious consequences.

Therefore, Fan Bufan immediately realized the danger and quickly admitted his mistake.

Although he met these powerful men from Jiangzuo at this time, he did have the intention of winning over them.

However, what happened just now accidentally shocked these powerful men in Jiangzuo even more.

"Cough cough..." Fan Bufan coughed twice awkwardly, but he couldn't tell the feelings of the villagers anymore, and got closer to them.

I just said a few words lightly and prepared to let someone go.

Although these people have prepared for this meeting for many days and spent so much effort. But just a brief approach is enough for them to boast about their whole life.

But at this moment, a round and fat man suddenly said, "Your Majesty, General Fu Bo has destroyed his family and made his country in ancient times. Now he is rebellious and powerful, and he is powerful in the emperor. We are deeply hated by the people. We should donate all our family wealth, give our military expenses to the emperor, and eliminate the traitors!"

Fan Bufan was stunned. It seemed that this was not the booking. Although he had long had the idea of ​​placing these guys' wallets, as the emperor, his appearance of food should not be so ugly...

"this……"

All the merchants bowed again: "Please accept my sincerity..."

As he said that, he handed over a order.

The eunuch immediately passed the result to Fan Bufan.

Fan Bufan was moved at first sight, and felt that this thin list was as heavy as a huge pound.

I saw that it said 500,000 jin of gold, 20 million silver, 10 million stones of grain, 8 million stones of grass, and 8 million stones of grass. There were countless materials of various kinds.

Although Liu Yi has always known that these maritime merchants are rich, he has never thought of having such a richness.

The food and grass alone are enough for Fan Bufan to recruit millions of troops and eat for three or five months.

"Your Majesty, these are not something we can do. It is my Jiangzuo family, who is loyal to the court..."

The fat man paused and said.

One of the most important reasons why Fan Bufan did not send troops immediately is that he has no money...

Although Fan Yi was not so stupid that he would not charge commercial taxes when he established the system.

Therefore, Dachu's annual fiscal revenue is about 40 to 50 million.

Logically speaking, it should be more than enough.

However, the Great Chu Dynasty was vast, and there were also the Protectorate's Palace thousands of miles away, including the Western Regions, Heicheng, etc.

In addition, all the natural disasters that have come one after another in the country need relief. Throughout the year, the finances are almost deficits.

This seems to be a common problem for any government, no matter how much income it is, it will cost more.

Therefore, once this sudden incident happened, the court could not afford the money for a while.

Not to mention, the rebellion in Lingzhou and other places has cut off the Western trade routes. There are also so many taxes from counties...

Now, these Jiangzuo powerful men took the initiative to donate money, which alleviated Fan Bufan's financial difficulties in an instant.

Therefore, no matter who were the imperial envoys who recorded their daily life or Xun Huai, the Shangshu Ling, were all happy.

"You are the emperor, please come up." Fan Bufan smiled and said, "I am the emperor and should protect the people. Instead, I have asked you to help you. I really feel sorry for you..."

"This is a loyal and loyalty among the grass people. Everyone can punish those traitors!" These rich merchants shouted.

Of course Fan Bufan would not be so rude. As the saying goes, no matter how profitable you don’t have to get up early. These powerful men gave him money. It’s not because he is the emperor.

Every penny of a businessman can be given out, so it can be invested! The taste is at least several times the profit, and it can be earned back.

Conflicts between the north and the south have accumulated for a long time!

Especially the Jiangzuo Sea Transportation Sect and the land faction represented by the two states in Lingqin, northwest, have fought for one or two hundred years for the market.

The businessmen in Lingqin have always been the dominant one.

There is nothing else. These people have a deeper foundation and are integrated with the Aristocratic Merit Group.

On the contrary, the sea trade appeared relatively late, with weak foundations and lacked political support. Therefore, it was inevitable that it would fall into a disadvantage.

This time, it is probably their optimistic speculation opportunity.

Of course, it was also the opportunity that Fan Bufan had prepared for them.

Thinking of this, Fan Bufan stopped being pretentious and said with a smile: "Dear your family, I will take it. When the court defeats the betrayal party, he will return these to you with the principal and interests..."

These businessmen were complaining in their hearts, but they didn't dare to object.

They wish the court would not return a single point, so that they could seek more political benefits.

But how could Fan Bufan give them these opportunities?

"Is this true? You must reward merits. The official positions of the court are public instruments, and I cannot violate them. But the titles are based on my intentions. Let's raise your titles. You will draw up a list and all those who donate money will have a share..."

After hearing this, these wealthy merchants turned their minds into joy.

The twenty-level title system implemented by the Fan Yi era is still in full swing.

Although with the development of commerce and the acceleration of urbanization and the decline of the government soldiers system, the 20th-class title has become divorced from the government soldiers.
