Chapter 352: Yuan Shu Becomes Emperor (14th Update)
Cao Cao came to borrow again, this is a good thing, why not make money if you have money.
"Gongzi Cao Ang, how much do you want to borrow this time?"
"Twenty million."
20 million, a month is the interest of 2 million dollars.
Zhang Ming was naturally happy.
"Do you want to convert some of it into weapons and equipment, if you lack anything, I will make it for you here."
"Just what is needed, my father said, 10 million dollars to buy weapons and equipment on the spot, and the rest need cash."
Zhang Ming happily agreed, every month, Zhang Ming will come to the door on time to ask for interest.
This money is easy to earn.
Zhang Ming immediately asked people to arrange for Tian Feng to complete it within five days.
Zhang Ming asked Cao Ang to go back and wait first.
"No, in history, Cao Ang followed Cao Cao to fight this time, and was finally killed by Zhang Xiu, and he also folded the general Dian Wei."
After Cao Ang left, Zhang Ming felt that something was wrong.
However, something is wrong, he saved Cao Ang's life.
However, Zhang Ming quickly put this matter behind him, he has changed too much history.
Zhang Ming agreed, and Tian Feng would soon be able to arrange it.
Now, Zhang Ming has money, and every month, Fusuna can dig back a lot of silver mines.
Zhang Ming immigrated more than 100,000 people from Goryeo, and sent more than 200,000 Han refugees from all over the country.
Now Fusang has become its own territory, opening up more than a dozen port cities, which has been able to bring huge wealth to Zhang Ming.
lent the money to Cao Cao.
After a while, the news of Cao Cao's attack on Zhang Xiu came.
"Sure enough, history has changed a lot."
"Cao Anmin is still dead, but neither this Dian Wei nor Cao Ang is dead."
Cao Ang came to Youzhou and did not go to war with the army.
This Dianwei was seriously injured and saved a life.
Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, and the loss was not small.
"It's a pity, Cao Cao is still a little, he likes young women, and he doesn't mess with other people's sisters-in-law, but now his strength may have risen greatly, Nanyang is a good place, very rich."
The news reached Zhang Ming's hands, and Zhang Ming commented from afar.
Zhang Ming was planning a new imperial examination, so he just commented casually.
Originally, Zhang Ming planned to hold it once a year, but found that there might be too few people who could participate in the imperial examination, so he decided to hold it once every two years.
Zhang Ming has been announced half a year in advance, and the imperial examination is scheduled to start on June 6.
There's been a war going on outside.
And Zhang Ming blocked him because of Yuan Shao, unless he fought with Yuan Shao, Zhang Ming could only watch.
Time passed slowly, and Zhang Ming could only give birth to monkeys in addition to dealing with government affairs.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
At this time, Beiping New Town already had a population of more than 600,000, and the city was greatly prosperous.
A stable environment for business to prosper.
Nowadays, Zhang Ming's business tax can also be collected a lot every year.
At the same time, the loan business of the bank has also increased.
In addition, there are also many foreign merchant groups that trade with Youzhou.
Zhang Ming here, the business environment is very good, no one dares to mess around, and the government does not dare to collect harsh taxes or extort merchants.
However, it was found that several officials cooperated with businesses and treated them unfairly, and after Zhang Ming found out, he directly clicked them.
One day in April, Zhang Ming was taking Mrs. Mi and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to the hot springs, and a maid came in to find Zhang Ming.
"Lord Governor, there is urgent information sent from outside, and I want you to deal with it immediately."
The maid went out after saying that.
Left and right, Xiao Qiao hugged him, and Zhang Ming was rubbing Mrs. Mi's back.
"Husband, I finally took a hot spring with you, you have something to do again." Xiao Qiao pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
She is pretending to be dissatisfied and coquettish.
Zhang Ming pinched her and said, "Don't worry, sooner or later I will make it up for your husband." ”
Actually, Zhang Ming still has a lot of free time this time.
It's just that Big Joe and Little Joe both gave birth to little monkeys, and they have a drag oil bottle to bring, and they don't like to play around as much as they used to.
Zhang Ming wiped it dry and walked out.
"Give me the information."
A soldier gave the information to Zhang Ming, and then stood aside.
"Yuan Shu is actually preparing to become emperor."
After reading the information, Zhang Ming was taken aback.
Yuan Shu is actually going to be the emperor, this is simply looking for death.
Zhang Ming was not in a hurry with this information, and said to the soldiers: "At night, let Zhicai and Tian Feng go to me." ”
After speaking, Zhang Ming continued to go to the hot springs, and the beauty could not live up to it.
I soaked in a hot spring for three hours...
After that, Zhang Ming went back, and now the palace is very close to the state minister's mansion.
After going back, Zhang Ming browsed some more information.
In the evening, Tian Feng and Xi Zhi arrived.
"Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor, what do you think about this matter?"
Calling the emperor is a big deal.
Tian Feng said: "Yuan's family, so domineering, how can they be virtuous, to be the emperor is to seek death, and they will inevitably lose the hearts of the people." ”
Xi Zhicai said: "When it comes to being the emperor, the lord is more qualified than him. ”
"Yuan Shu, he and Yuan Shao are brothers, can you make a fuss about this matter?"
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Lord, you can openly support Yuan Shao as emperor." ”
The three of them discussed.
After discussing for a long time, the final decision was made.
Two months later, Yuan Shu publicly proclaimed himself emperor.
Zhang Ming was ready, and as soon as the news came, one of Zhang Ming's comments was printed in the newspaper.
To the effect that Yuan Shu is not qualified to be the emperor, the most qualified to be the emperor is Yuan Shao, and Zhang Ming is willing to support Yuan Shao as the emperor. At the same time, his official position and title are too small, he should be promoted to general, and after Yuan Shao becomes emperor, he should be crowned king.
Yuan Shu was called the emperor, shocking Kyushu, and Zhang Ming's comment added fuel to the fire.
Let everyone have the illusion that Zhang Ming is a smoke bomb released by Yuan Shao, thinking that Yuan Shao is also going to be the emperor.
It turned out that both brothers were so ambitious.
At the same time, Zhang Ming released gossip.
"I heard that Yuan Shao was going to be the emperor, but I didn't dare to say it, so I promised Zhang Ming to help him publish a newspaper to test it, and when the time came, I would seal Zhang Ming as the king."
"The children of the Yuan family are really ambitious."
"This Yuan family has long been rebellious."
Public opinion is raging.
After Yuan Shao found out, he was shocked.
hurriedly denied it, and planned to send someone to accuse Zhang Ming.
When Yuan Shao sent someone to reprimand Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming confessed on the spot and expressed his willingness to publicly apologize.
The next day, Zhang Ming published a statement in the newspaper.
Statement: A few days ago, the newspaper said that Yuan Benchu Yuan Gong is more qualified to be called the emperor, and after the emperor, he will be crowned as the king, and he is proficient in his own fabrication, which has nothing to do with Yuan Gong, and I hereby prove to the world that Yuan Gong is innocent, Yuan Gong is well aware of righteousness, and the outstanding descendants of the Yuan family...
Praise, praise hard, use whatever words you can.
As soon as this newspaper came out, the people of the world stopped doing it.
Zhang Minghe once lowered his head, he has always been extremely arrogant, and no one's face is sold.
praised Yuan Shao so much this time, Yuan Shao dared to say that it had nothing to do with him?
It must have been forced by Yuan Shao, and the previous things must have been done by Yuan Shao.
Suddenly, public opinion was once again unfavorable to Yuan Shao.
Originally, Yuan Shu said that the emperor had little to do with Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao has also become a huge victim.
When Yuan Shao saw the newspaper in Youzhou, he was trembling with anger.
