Chapter 515

Liu Bian took Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi and others to visit Ding Guan, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong looked at each other, and Cai Yong said anxiously: "Is this a godsend? It should be found earlier. If others find out, it would be a mistake. Is it a big deal?"

"Looking at His Majesty's appearance, there should be some. It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to form a business department. However, His Majesty has always had his own plans, and he should not lose the big because of small things. Let's go back and make preparations, and we will see His Majesty tomorrow morning." How to say it." Lu Zhi sighed.

Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has been a national policy for hundreds of years since Shang Yang. The class of scholars, farmers, and businessmen is deeply rooted in everyone's bone marrow. Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other Confucian benevolent people do not want to prosper business only for profit.

But Liu Bian was pinching an artifact like a sweet potato, so Lu Zhi and Cai Yong had no choice but to agree.

The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture will also hold another imperial examination to attract talents. The two veteran officials looked at each other and had to go back to the government to prepare.But the two of them put their hearts on the crops that Liu Bian said, but Liu Bian didn't say where they fell, and the two had nothing to do.

It's just that they don't know that the seeds of this crop are still stored in the system's shopping mall, and Liu Bian has not yet used the magical power of the system to bring corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other things into the world.

On the other hand, Liu Bian rushed to Ding Guan's mansion non-stop, and Liu Bian felt quite heavy when he learned that Ding Guan had suffered a stroke.The medical technology of later generations is also helpless against stroke. Even if Li Shizhen, Hua Tuo and others can save Ding Guan, Ding Guan may not be able to enter the court again.Although Ding Guan is upright and upright, and often confronts Liu Bian, Liu Bian feels even more heartbroken when there is no one around to nudge and urge him.

Soon he came to Ding Guan's mansion and announced his identity. His servants welcomed Liu Bian into the mansion. While walking towards the inner room, Liu Bian asked his servants, "How is Ding Gong?"

"Several miraculous doctors are in the process of diagnosis and treatment, but the master is bedridden today. When I go to see him, his body is already paralyzed, the corners of his mouth are crooked, and his speech is not good." The servant replied with a sad face.

"Damn it, it really was a stroke!" Liu Bian cursed secretly and ran towards Ding Guan's room.

Stroke, coronary heart disease, and cancer are listed as one of the three major diseases that threaten human beings.The death rate was terribly high, and even though Li Shizhen and others were great doctors in the world, Liu Bian also knew that they were powerless to deal with it.

When he came to Ding Guan's bedroom, he saw Li Shizhen, Hua Tuo, and Zhang Zhongjing sitting in front of Ding Guan's couch. Liu Bian's heart sank when he saw the embarrassment on their faces.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bian stepped forward and asked.Looking at Ding Guan on the bed, he was paralyzed on the bed with his mouth crooked. Seeing Liu Bian coming, he faltered and hawed to speak but couldn't speak clearly, unable to speak a word.

Immediately, Liu Bian's eyes turned red and he walked forward. Li Shizhen on one side gave up his seat for Liu Bian to sit down. Liu Bian grabbed Ding Guan's hand and comforted him: "Ding Gong is recovering well, don't talk, I know all about it."

Ding Guan hesitated for a long time, as if resigned to his fate, a line of clear tears flowed from his eyes, he only looked at Liu Bian.Liu Bian chatted with Ding Guan about the daily life, and made him create hoe and other farm tools. Today, through a private interview with Weifu, he discovered Jia Sixie's book "Qi Min Yao Shu", and he wanted to promote agriculture. For potatoes, soybeans and other crops, Ding Guan was told all the good news.

However, Liu Bian didn't talk about the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce in order to avoid Ding Guan's emotional aggravation.Ding Guan's eyes were full of relief when he heard that, Liu Bian said and held Ding Guan's hand tightly, and then left.

When he came outside, Liu Bian asked Li Shizhen and others: "How is Mr. Ding's condition? Can he be cured?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Zhongjing, who was the most knowledgeable in internal medicine, replied, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ding had no warning before his stroke, and we are helpless."

"How much life do you have left?"

"I'm afraid it's less than three months. I'll try my best to recuperate Duke Ding's body." Zhang Zhongjing said.

"Ding Gong has worked hard for the country all his life. He has not yet taken care of his life, and he has contracted this disease before watching the big man rule. You must do your best to keep him as much as possible, and let him watch the big man become stronger step by step!" Liu Bian ordered.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bian called Guan Ding's family again to tell them about Guan Ding's condition, to take care of the elderly more, and to let the officials in the court report the changes in the court every day, reporting good news and not bad news.

After Liu Bian returned to the imperial city, the morning court began the next day.The ministers lined up on both sides, Cai Yong, the head of the civil servants, stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday you said that the great ancestor entrusted a dream, and the auspiciousness descended from the sky. I don't know where it descended? We need to find it as soon as possible!"

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Let's not discuss this matter for now, Xuan Mizhu will enter the palace!"

Cai Yong was unhappy, so he had no choice but to retreat back. But after a while Mi Zhu entered the hall and saluted Liu Bian, Liu Bian said, "I want to set up the Ministry of Commerce, Mi Zhu, please tell your loves about it."

"Promise!" Mi Zhu bowed his hands and took the order, and said immediately: "My lords, the Ministry of Commerce mentioned by Your Majesty is like this. It coordinates business travel all over the world. If you want to do business, you must have the country's business documents and register with the court. Books will do, Daxing commerce, it will promote..."

Mi Zhu was born as a businessman, and for a while he eloquently talked about the benefits of prosperous business to the country. At the same time, Mi Zhu also talked about the harm brought about by the development of business.

The ministers have been angered by Liu Bian, and now they are only talking about the advantages and disadvantages of developing business. After the ministers have a general understanding of this matter, Liu Bian said: "You have been in business for decades, can you prevent these harms?" Method?"

"Yes!" Mi Zhu nodded, and immediately explained how to prevent the group of merchants.

There is no balance between merchants and farmers. The first thing Mi Zhu said was that merchants should not waste farming, which is the prerequisite for doing business!Liu Bian wanted to prosper business, so a large number of people went to do business, well, the first rule came down, that is, you can do business, and the fields in your home cannot be abandoned, and you have to pay both grain tax and business tax. It has greatly prevented the common people from abandoning agriculture and going into business.

As the measures to restrict businessmen came out of Mi Zhu's mouth, all the ministers nodded their beards. If this is the case, it is not impossible to prosper business, but if this is the case, is it still useful?Don't so many restrictions inhibit business?
However, Liu Bian didn't see it that way. Merchants sold and sold to earn the difference, but how many things can the big man sell now?For food, cloth, pottery, salt and iron, the state cannot sell them privately.

However, Liu Bian said that this is too simple. By expanding the types of products, business can flourish. The appearance of a product is a huge cake, which can attract countless people to chase after it.But Liu Bian had as many commodities in his mind as a cow.

In the past few years, Liu Bian has been thinking about this matter, and he has figured out many things.

Many voices of discussion sounded among the ministers, saying that His Majesty is not promoting business, but suppressing it.

Liu Bian twitched his mouth, clapped his hands and said: "You dear friends think that I am suppressing business, ha ha, then you are wrong, come and bring the things up!"

The officials looked out of the hall, and saw a group of guards carrying many things into the hall, and the officials were dazzled for a while.But what are these things?There are chairs, pottery, tea, and fine wine.

The chair is a grand master's chair, it has a very expensive temperament wherever it is placed, and the patterns and carvings on it are beautiful.

Porcelain and porcelain were first seen in the middle of the Shang Dynasty, but until now, pottery is still the main type, and there are not many kinds of weapons and porcelain. The glaze is extremely smooth to the touch, and it also draws patterns, which really stupefied the eyes of all the officials.

The era of tea has already appeared, and later generations have different opinions about the origin of tea, but Liu Bian came to this era to develop tea and it was not popular, and tea drinking was almost uncommon.Even some are quite weird, some are made with medicine, some are cooked with various condiments, and the taste makes Liu Bian's face turn green from drinking.

After coming to this world, Liu Bian once sent people to cultivate tea leaves and planted them secretly, and now a lot of them have been planted in Luoyang area.If tea can be favored by these ministers this time, there is no doubt that the planting will be expanded.And Liu Bian also exchanged the matching tea sets to carry forward the tea culture.

Fine wine is also a well-known brand in later generations. There are many varieties of refined shochu and fruit wine brewed from fruits.

Silk, tea, and ceramics are the three major commodities in China. In this era, silk has already appeared. Liu Bian is not doing it, but has brought out the peak of the development of tea culture and ceramic culture in advance.

Strange furniture, exquisite ceramics, fragrant tea, and mellow spirits.

Liu Bian came down from the stage, and first introduced in front of the chair: "This is the Taishi chair. One day, I suddenly felt dizzy, my legs were numb, and I almost fell down."

"Has your majesty's dragon body ever been ill?" Cai Yong asked hastily.

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "It's okay. Afterwards, I called the genius doctor to inquire. He told me that it was caused by kneeling for a long time, which caused the blood vessels in the legs to be abnormal. He also told me not to kneel for a long time, but to take a walk and rest frequently."

Kneeling ceremony in the Han Dynasty means sitting on your knees with your buttocks on top of your heels. This is called kneeling.When Liu Bian first arrived, he couldn't hold on kneeling and sitting for a minute, and he had to hold on to it on important occasions, so as not to lose royal etiquette.Mi Zhu spoke eloquently for half an hour, but none of His Royal Highness' ministers could hold on. Many people adjusted their postures, some of them frowned and their legs went numb.

"The miracle doctor is right, but you can't sit on your knees for a long time. Your Majesty should put the dragon's body first." Lu Zhi nodded.

Liu Bian said with a smile: "I am busy with state affairs, and often forget to eat and sleep. Where can I have time to take a walk? Aren't you the same? So I thought that if I didn't sit on my knees, wouldn't I not have this worry? So I thought hard for a day and asked people to build this The Taishi chair is here, but sitting on this chair for work, sitting for half a day for half a day is not a problem."

The officials' eyes lit up, and they looked at the chair with great interest.The Han Dynasty emphasized etiquette. If Liu Bian directly replaced kneeling with a chair, the courtiers would naturally not agree.He first started with his own body, saying that I have been kneeling for a long time, and now I am not in good health, which made the officials worry. Then he took out the chair and talked about the benefits of the chair, which immediately attracted the officials.

The guards moved several chairs, Liu Bian pointed out a few old officials and said, "Come on, try sitting on them, and see how you feel?"

Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and other veterans sat on it without hesitation, and suddenly felt different, the numbness in their legs was released immediately, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

Liu Bian said at the right time: "If a chair is used instead of kneeling, it will take a lot of time to deal with government affairs, and it can also protect the legs. Using this chair as a commodity can not only prosper business, but also promote the development of craftsmen, which is a great thing." , what do you think?"

After listening to Liu Bian's words, several old ministers sitting on chairs nodded unconsciously and said, "Very good, very good."

The corner of Liu Bian's mouth curled up, and his goal was achieved. To deal with these stubborn Confucian veterans, we have to prescribe the right medicine.Liu Bian went to the ceramics area again, and a group of courtiers reluctantly left their chairs, followed Liu Bian to the ceramics, and listened to Liu Bian's explanation of ceramics.
