On the first day of the first lunar month, the long-awaited court meeting of countless people officially began, the emperor Liu Hong sat in the Deyang Hall Linxuan to receive congratulations, and the ministers of the ministers and hundreds of officials and local governors and counties, and the foreign patriarchs and envoys who submitted to them all paid tribute to the table to congratulate. In addition, tributes from various local states and counties will also be offered, which is a huge amount of income.

In the past, the most exciting thing was that in a performance appraisal in the Great Dynasty Meeting, the governors or main subordinates of local prefectures and counties needed to bring their books to the Prime Minister's Office to report the year's political performance.

Because Liu Hong used to eat, drink and have fun all day long, he only cared about how much money he collected in the court, and his political performance was basically judged by the value of the tribute. In the year of disaster, it can be said that the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant.

But now it is different, the re-activation of the embroidered messenger has made a large number of officials dare not lie about their political achievements, and the opening of Liu Hongshengming's model has made many local officials frightened, fearing that their incompetence will be exposed and lead to debasement.

The defect of the inspection system lies in this, regardless of talent, regardless of ability, as long as there is a reputation, someone recommended by a celebrity will have the opportunity to become an official, if it is really smooth, it is okay, inaction, the people will not suffer any disaster, but in the past two years, God has not given face, although the yellow scarf was quickly extinguished, but there are a lot more bandits and thieves, most of them are some of the yellow turbans who fled and transferred to work.

Although typhoid fever has been cured and cured, there are still many natural disasters such as locust plagues, droughts, and floods. It is simply impossible to hide this kind of thing from the embroidered messenger.

In the Deyang Palace, Lin Xu was still given Liu Hong's left hand behind him, calmly looking at the gifts of the hundreds of officials in the court.

The first to enter is the old ministers of the court, some of the old people who are so old that the loess is buried to the side of the neck, and the congratulatory gifts are also quite meaningful, either the books written by themselves, or the paintings made by themselves, anyway, it is to show a kind of: the old man is indifferent to fame and fortune, clear as water, bright as a mirror, and this Liu Hong is worthless.

Looking at the smirk on Liu Hong's face, you can know that ninety percent of these things will be used by him to pad tables and chairs.

If you really want to calculate it, in fact, these old ministers are not poor at all, with their current treatment, the minimum is 2,000 stones, a year's Yulu has 1,440 stones, according to the normal price, a stone valley is worth 220 yuan, a year is 316,800 yuan, converted to modern prices, at least 150,000 yuan!

The annual salary is 150,000 yuan, this is only pure salary income, now is not a period of turmoil, the imperial court will be in arrears, and every year it is a full ten money! Coupled with the filial piety of the descendants of the New Year, these old men don't say how rich they are, and there is no problem at all with being a rich man.

Compared with the fake shabby of these old ministers, the tributes taken out by the three princes and nine ministers are much more pleasing to the eye, like Yuan Kui, holding a carved dragon jade bi the size of a basin, Yang Biao carrying a blood coral three feet long and one foot wide, and Zhang Wen holding a box of night pearls the size of a fist, full of eighteen!

In Jiuqing, most of the gifts are all kinds of jade and beads, and Cao Cao's father Cao Song is much more arrogant, as soon as he makes a move, it is ten thousand gold, Liu Hong heard it, the corners of his mouth turned up at that time, what kind of garbage jade, in this era is not worth much at all, the tribute gifts of the few guys in front of him may all add up to less than five thousand gold, look at Cao Song, how knowledgeable, how deep the emperor's heart!

Cao Song's wave is also out of the way, although he didn't like Cao Cao's leather boy before, but now it's different, he has been appreciated by the immortals, the official is getting bigger and bigger, this south has a merit in pacifying the rice thief, and the northern attack has also made a lot of contributions, this piece adds up, and then he has this huge amount of money, I dare not guarantee that the eighteenth-level knighthood is still quite promising.

The next step is to make a big contribution, that is, to seal the marquis! His old Cao family is finally going to have a proper gentleman! As for those contemptuous glances, let him go, and in a few years, see the glory again!

Alien sacrifices, the head is the miserable Southern Xiongnu Qiang Canal, this goods was pitted by Lu Zhi is very miserable, and the Northern Xiongnu after a wave of death, was beaten to five labor and seven wounded, the loss of the soldiers, in the end except for the Southern Xiongnu single position, nothing. Now he is still forced to gather most of the clansmen to serve as slaves for the Han family, and he is in charge of a large number of Hu slaves and Qiang slaves, and they are still the kind that do not pay wages.

"The Southern Huns Shan Yu offered 30 BMWs and 10 boxes of gold and silver~"

Zhang Rang shouted at the top of his throat, these aliens can't get anything good, most of them are sending horses and women, but not to mention, the quality of these horses is still quite good, and the women are also specially captured from Goguryeo, with a gentle personality and delicate skin, no worse than Han women.

When Zhang Rang finished roaring at the offerings of various alien races, Liu Hong glanced at Lin Xu, who was drooling when he saw the beauty, and compared to other people's tributes, he cared more about what kind of treasure this immortal would bring him. Anyway, he has already prepared the book of the Lishan fiefdom, and it depends on whether the things Lin Xu gave him today can touch his heart.

"A gift from Lord Qixian, a set of glass meditation cups!"

After yelling, Zhang made himself a little curious, this is obviously a set of cups, just a cup, how much can it be worth? Could it be an immortal artifact?

Zhu Zhen, who heard the roar outside the main hall, hurriedly held the agarwood brocade box that had been prepared and strode into the hall

In an instant, everyone in the hall stretched their necks and stared at the very ordinary wooden box in their hands, produced by the immortals, and no one dared to despise it.

"Wentai, do you know what it is?"

Liu Bei, who rushed back overnight, stabbed Sun Jian's waist with his elbow, this guy was also a dog and walker when he was young, and he was also very interested in treasures, and now the intimacy between Sun Jian and Lin Xu is skyrocketing, and Cao Cao is inexplicably absent, and he is the most likely person to know what is inside at this moment.

"I don't know"

Sun Jian shook his head slightly, although he has been to Xiaoyaoju a lot more recently, it is also for his son, and now this guy is thinking about how to let his youngest son Sun Quan also go to worship Lin Xu as a teacher, although the age is a little young, but it is good to put a name, after all, even if Lin Xu is a little bit of scum in his fingers, it is also a great thing.

And I heard that Cao Cao is also preparing to let his son go to apprentice with Lin Xu, he has to be the first, who knows if Lin Xu, an immortal, has a rule to limit the number of apprentices.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qixian's tribute must be extraordinary, why don't you just show it, so how about I open my eyes?"

Yuan Kui on the side only glanced at Liu Hong's eyes, and knew that the emperor was thinking at this time, and the desire in those eyes was not concealed at all.

"Accurate!"

Sure enough, Liu Hong immediately agreed

When Zhang Rang heard this, he rolled up his wide cuffs, kept the boxy wooden box with his eyes shining, and strode towards Liu Hong

"Be careful"

Zhu Zhen saw that his actions were a little rude, and he couldn't help but remind, Zhang Rang nodded at him gratefully when he heard this, if this thing is ruined in his hands, with Liu Hong's temperament, he will have to move the ten clans!

"It's okay, it's broken, it's just refining again"

Lin Xu waved his hand indifferently, although this thing cost him a lot of energy, but to talk about the loss, it was almost zero.

"How dare the old slave!"

Zhang Rang is very serious, and he refines it by himself! This is definitely a great treasure, not to mention falling, even if he bumped it, he felt that his old life was not enough to compensate.

When Zhang Rang gently put the wooden box in front of Liu Hong to the extreme, he was already sweating profusely

Seeing this, Liu Hong waved his hand with satisfaction, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently opened the wooden box, only to see three crystal clear cups lying quietly under the lid of a red silk cage, showing a trace of mystery.

Gently lifting the red silk, Liu Hong stretched out his right hand and gently held out a cup on the right side, his eyes were shining.

The shape is exactly the same as the bottle he usually uses, but the whole body is amazingly clear, as if there is nothing, and you can clearly see your lightly held palm, and there is even a faint reflection in it, which is very similar to his appearance.

With a flick of his fingernails, a crisp sound that is different from the other suddenly jumps into his ears. Liu squinted, intoxicated and enjoying the sound of heaven and the envy of hundreds of people in the audience, not only in the hall, but also as many as thousands of people outside the hall stood on tiptoe and stared inside with wide eyes.

"True Immortal Treasure"

Zhang Rang behind Liu Hong saw it most clearly, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion at the moment, he could be regarded as having seen countless rare treasures, but this thing was unheard of, jade is not jade, stone is not stone, gold is not gold, and he doesn't know what it is made of.

"Haha, it's actually just the cup that the immortals usually use."

Lin Xu smiled and said

"It's just that without the blessing of immortal energy, there is no miracle effect"

"It's actually a fairy thing"

Liu Hong was shocked in his heart, he had never seen Lin Xu take this thing out and use it, if Lin Xu had it from the beginning, with his understanding of Lin Xu, it was impossible for Lin Xu to hold back until now. Think about the arrival of immortal friends a few days ago, wasn't it brought down by those immortals?

"Your Majesty, there are still two things in the box, why don't you enjoy one or two together?"

Hearing Zhang Rang's words, Liu Hong couldn't help but nodded, this is a good opportunity to promote his prestige, since ancient times, treasures and virtuous people live in it, and this immortal thing can fall into his hands Liu Hong, it can already be said that it is favored by God and favored by God.

At that moment, Liu Hong carefully took out the goblet in the middle

"This~"

"This cup is for drinking"

Lin Xu moved his body and leaned over

"Your Majesty, I'll teach you how to use it."

The ancients ate and drank elegantly, except for martial arts, of course, Lin Xu pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a goblet that was not very round.

"I see"

After Lin Xu's instructions, Liu Hong shouted decently with a goblet

"Bring the wine!"

After a drink, Liu Hong felt that the taste of this wine was a lot more mellow, as for the third fairy cup, Liu Hong did not take it out, this kind of small trick still has to be played.
