Luoyang Colony Goods, Jinshui Soup House.

On the second floor, Cao Jie, who bathed and climbed the stairs, was drinking alone by the window.

After receiving the secret report, the shogunate's right man Jia Xu hurried to meet him.

"Jia Xu meets the boss." Jia Xu, who also changed into a bathrobe, approached and saluted.

"You don't need to see outside, sit down quickly." Cao Jie got up and invited.

The two sat across from each other. Then a servant brought cakes and snacks, and before leaving, he unfurled a screen to cover the two of them.

"Your Majesty is here in person today. The north new city of Zhuo County, Gaoyang of Boling, Wen'an of Hejian, and the three counties have been added to the king of thistle. Cao Jie first informed the good news.

Jia Xu was really overjoyed: "Your Majesty, Master Xie." ”

North New Town, the former Han Dynasty. Because there is a new city county between the river, the word "north" is added, which belongs to the southernmost county of Zhuo County. In the sixth year of Gaozu of the former Han Dynasty, Gaoyang County was placed, which also belonged to Zhuo County, and Gaoyang County was placed during the period from Jianhe to Yongshou, which was the county governance, and the first year of Yanxi was changed to Boling County. Gaoyang is in the south of the three cities of Jiguo and the east of the North New Town. Further east, is Wen'an County.

"Wen'an has a fox lake." At present, the water network is vertical and horizontal, adjacent to the east lake of digging carp. At the turn of the two Han Dynasty, the sea water poured in. This place digs Lidian in the west, and connects Yongnu in the north, which is a thousand miles of water. Since the Han Dynasty, it has gradually separated from the two Daze. In addition, the tributaries converge, and the lakes and marshes disintegrate one by one. Later generations called this "depression that has always been famous for its fertile soil and rich resources" as: "Wen'an Depression". In the territory, the water of Fushui, Gaoyang water, Hutuo, Zhushui, etc., all the rivers converge and scatter into Daze. One hundred and twenty miles in diameter. If you can tuntian, it is comparable to the autumn of the governor.

First there is Du Kang, then there is digging carp, three has Yongnu, and four has Wen'an.

His Majesty assigned Wen'an County, which had suffered from floods, to the country of Ji, and it was indeed in the same vein.

A deserted place. Although the people's livelihood is withering, there is no land annexation and the disaster of "cannibalism". It can be described as a vast virgin land. It is suitable for the thistle country tuntian.

As the officials of the Ji Kingdom thought. The three counties were merged, and the land of Jinan was formed. The great position of Ji Nan Yin is waiting in the air.

Predictable. When the news came, the people of the three counties were so ecstatic.

Cao Jie smiled and dropped the cup: "King Ji has made new contributions, and it is natural to increase the seal." The old decay is just pushing the boat down the river, how dare you say thank you. ”

It's useless to talk too much. Jia Xu then took out a lacquered wooden box from his sleeve. Open it and look at it, it is a neatly inserted piece of "glass treasure banknotes". The face value is tens of millions. A total of 50 million thistles are listed.

Rao is the eunuch Cao Jie, who is accustomed to receiving heavy gifts, and his eyes can't help but stagnate.

"Boss?" Jia Xu called a few times, and Cao Jie came back to his senses.

also did not hide it, and said in a big dialect: "The country of Ji is on the currency, and one is exchanged for five." 250 million dollars, right Cheng threw it casually. It's old decay...... He was also at a loss and behaved abnormally. If you want to come to this world, who else can stop you. ”

Jia Xu gently pushed the lid of the box and presented the money box with both hands: "First there are Longyou and Jizhou, and the door of convenience is widened, and now three counties are added." The boss is the business of the Lord, running up and down, working hard and achieving high results. Up and down the country of thistle, thanks to the great grace, should be repaid with a spring. ”

Gift-giving also needs to be exquisite.

Previously, officials in Longyou, Jizhou, and the two places have changed several times. All the candidates are in line with the mind of the thistle king. And whenever there is a performance, Shangshutai will handle it as soon as possible, without delay. Longyou and Jizhou officials, although nominally they are the new Liangzhou assassins and the kings of Jizhou. Who instructed behind it, the treacherous and cunning Cao Jie, how could he not know.

The reason why he is reluctant to give up the position of Shangshu Ling. I can't wait to die on stage. Because of the benefits behind it, it is too rich.

"Old decay, deserved to be deserved." Cao Jie is in his pocket.

You don't need to answer this, just laugh with you.

The two places have suffered from war and are in urgent need of recuperation. At this time, the two places were forcibly put on the shelves, and there was no one to buy them.

The people who saw the two states were all officials following history. His Majesty is also pleased to see it come to fruition. Only when the two places are properly managed can all industries prosper. in order to sell at a high price. Or within three years, when the livelihood of the people in the two places improves, these Qing officials will be promoted and secretly demoted, and they will be transferred to the DPRK and the Central Committee one after another. Leave their respective fat shortages, and go to the West Garden to sell and buy.

The so-called killing chickens and eggs, and promoting the growth of seedlings, is a taboo for businesses. Your Majesty still has this patience.

Again. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the officials of the Kwantung region, instead of fighting to the death, mostly abandoned their officials and fled. The war is unfavorable, and there are many people who have been convicted and dismissed. A large number of vacancies available for His Majesty to sell. Longyou and Jizhou do not need to be in a hurry.

As His Majesty said. Although he is rich all over the world and can make a living, he does not have much to earn. Official titles and titles are "high-quality assets" that can be obtained.

In the Luoyang court, there is a proverb that "the king of thistle has nothing difficult".

The implication. All the things of the thistle king are not things.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food. He is an official for one term, but he seeks to be rich and noble. The king of this tle is rich and bold. From His Majesty to the grass people, who doesn't want to make friends with them.

What's more, he is eight feet tall, both civil and military, the jade tree is in the wind, and the hanging bell is looking back.

Accept the heavy gift of the thistle country. Cao Jie took the opportunity to say it in person when he wanted to marry Zuo Feng and Lu Qiang.

Speaking of the critical place, he also took out the money box from his sleeve, gritted his teeth and pulled out three "glass treasure bills", and Tojia Xu took care of it on his behalf.

How can Jia Xu accept it? pushed the "glass treasure banknote" back, and promised to contact the three for Cao Jie.

Do big things without spending money. Cao Jie can be called an old treacherous and cunning.

This is satisfying, board the bus and turn back.

Jia Xu went downstairs to see him off.

However, the value of the five "glazed treasure banknotes" is a matter of opinion. If it is stored in a secret room, it will not be exchanged for circulation. It's just five pieces of glass.

The monetary rules hidden in this are not understood by Cao Xing.

Longyou, Jizhou, Jiguo, three road victory. Rao is Jia Xu, and he is also happy.

Make an exception for a drink. Returning to the General's Mansion, he wrote a secret letter by hand, and flew six hundred miles to Longyou without mentioning it.

Yongle Palace.

His Majesty and Empress Dowager Dong sat across the curtain and were speechless for a while.

"Your Majesty is determined?" After a long time, Empress Dowager Dong suddenly spoke.

"Failed to make up my mind." His Majesty's expression changed, and his words were reluctant.

"The general He Jin is also the Marquis of Shen. The wings are growing, and the tail is not falling off. The old things of the past are now going to reappear in the palace. Your Majesty will make a decision. If you are willing to give it, you can get it. Empress Dowager Dong sighed: "For my great Han Jiangshan, Your Majesty should make a decision." ”

"Son... Wake up. His Majesty also sighed: "It's just that people can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees." ”

There was no more speech behind the curtain.

Dongguo, Su City.

Hou Yin re-entered the secret room and met Xu Feng.

"What's the catch?" Hou Yin asked.

"It's a matter of finding out." Xu Feng said: "Yongle Palace is ordering the court to select a few two-year-old boys. But I don't know why I use it. ”

"A two-year-old boy?" Hou Yin frowned slightly: "Could it be that Empress Dowager Dong is worried about the old Zhu Huang and wants to practice the evil art of rejuvenation?" Such as "Huilong Soup", Hou Yin has also heard of it.

"I don't know yet." Xu Feng shook his head.

Hou Yin faintly felt that this matter was extraordinary: "Pay more attention, this matter may have great meaning." It can be used by me. ”

"Hmm." Xu Feng nodded slightly. In turn, he said, "This place is not suitable for a long time. There is a place to stay. ”

Hou Yin thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go here." ”

"Where?" Xu Feng asked hurriedly.

Hou Yin pointed to the top of his head: "A high place." ”

Xu Feng then woke up: "Wonderful! ”
