Chapter 142 Emperor Ling has a toothache and Xu Ding borrows money

The Donglai soldiers were dispatched quickly, and the battle was surprisingly fast.

In Dahan, many prefectures and counties had just learned that Donglai Taishou Wei Yuanhou had personally conquered the four countries of the peninsula, but he was still surprised here, and the news of the end of the war over there came one after another.

Immediately, the whole world celebrated, and the whole country was jubilant.

Among them, the Spirit Emperor was the happiest.

The four countries were defeated, so what about the seized money and grain.

Can you count the money until your feet cramp?

"Your Majesty, this is the Hou of Weihai's plea." Zhang Rang walked in and said in a somewhat cold tone.

Emperor Ling also woke up from his illusion, frowned and said, "What's the matter, didn't the Marquis of Weihai win the battle and expand the territory for me, what a crime?"

The first thing Emperor Ling thought of was whether the ministers of the Japanese dog were saying that it was wrong for his 'General Huo' to send troops again.

"Your Majesty, you should see this for yourself." This time, the things Xu Ding sent made Zhang Rang feel a little toothache.

It's really heart-wrenching, he, like Emperor Ling, thought that Xu Ding won the battle and won the Four Kingdoms, and he must have robbed countless gold and silver treasures, and then Xu Ding took out half of it to Emperor Ling, so naturally he would have a corresponding big gift.

It turned out to be nothing, and it was a real joy.

Emperor Ling took the chapter and spread it out to take a look, and the more he looked behind, the more solemn the expression on his face became, and his heart was also cool and cool.

It turned out that the above promised to cry miserably, indicating that the four countries not only had no treasures, but were so poor that they were clanging.

This expedition not only can't earn military expenses, but owes a fart. Stocks and bonds.

He also pitifully asked Emperor Ling for some support, saying that next time he won the three kingdoms of Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Wofu, he would definitely earn a lot of money.

At that time, all the seizures will be given to the Spirit Emperor.

So when I saw the final Lingdi ensemble, I glanced at Zhang Rang, and I also had a toothache.

My 'General Huo', you are so poor that you have lost your pants, why are you still thinking about the three kingdoms of Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Wofu.

I don't want you to expand your territory, you can just get me some money to spend.

After forcibly taking a few breaths, Emperor Ling sighed: "The loyalty and courage of the Marquis of Weihai is unmatched in the world, but I am very pleased to go on this expedition, but the matter of military expenses makes me very difficult." ”

It's not that Emperor Ling doesn't have money, but he doesn't like to take money out of his pocket.

You must know that he just built the burned Nangong again this year, and the heartache of spending a lot of money is something that ordinary people can't experience.

Zhang Rang naturally knew what kind of character Emperor Ling was, and said after a little contemplation: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Weihai won the battle, this merit cannot be remembered, nor can it not be rewarded, since the Marquis of Weihai is short of money, or the four counties will be divided into Donglai, but the officials in the county have to let the Marquis of Weihai think about it." ”

"This ...... Not so good! "Emperor Ling didn't expect Zhang Rang, who has always known my heart, to make such a suggestion, doesn't this seem to be a loss of his own interests?

Four counties, how much can this be sold for?

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, these four counties have just been defeated, and the barbarians above have not been eliminated, but they need money to build a city, and I am afraid that no one will be willing to take up the post." ”

Zhang Rangke is smarter than Emperor Ling, and he knows more and more about the world's major events.

Not to mention the four counties that Xu Ding just defeated, even other Han counties, there are also a large number of people who were appointed by Emperor Ling but did not take office.

It is estimated that no one in these four counties is willing to spend money to be an official there, and it will be smashed in the pot in the hands of Emperor Ling.

Instead of this, it is better to give Xu Ding, let him spend money to build a city, let him worry about it, if Xu Ding sells the official, Zhishao still has some filial piety.

This can not only save worry, but also make good friends.

Xu Ding, a real power marquis, fought so badly that it would be a pity not to use it as foreign aid.

Zhang Rang knew that there were few powerful officials in the entire Han Dynasty who were close to their eunuchs, and it was rare for a young general like Huo Qubing to emerge, so how could he maintain the relationship well.

So Zhang Rang was not too disappointed that Xu Ding did not send money to Beijing this time.

money, he Zhang Rang and others have earned enough money, and as long as they keep the glory and wealth in their hands, money will be available at any time.

Emperor Ling was enlightened like this, and found that it was really the case.

So I agreed with what Zhang Rang said.

The four counties were assigned to Dongnae County.

However, Emperor Ling agreed, and many ministers in the court disagreed.

In particular, the Yuan people stood up against it, pointing out that Donglai was a county above the middle level, and there was Weiyuan Island in addition.

If you add the four counties, Xu Ding has half a state in charge of the blind land, how can he rule such a large place.

"Is it big? How do I remember that Runan-gun is also very big! If the population is more than two million, then according to your meaning, Runan County should not be a county, but a state, or should it be divided into six or seven counties? A minister who supported Xu Ding stood up and laughed.

With a population of more than two million, a county is worth a state, and the area of Runan County is indeed very large, with fifty or sixty big cities and counties.

You say horror is not horror.

Suddenly, the Yuan family was dumbfounded.

There is a reason why Runan County is so large and has such a large population, but it is not divided into several counties, but this reason is a politically sensitive issue, so it is difficult to put it on the bright side.

"Okay, that's it, I said that if it is assigned to Donglai County, it will be assigned to Donglai County." The Spirit Emperor was quite atmospheric and mighty.

Donglai began to prepare for the New Year's Festival, and all places were immersed in joy.

"Good news for the lord, Your Majesty has divided the four counties into Donglai, and they are unified under the jurisdiction of the lord."

"Good news? Even if he doesn't give this, the four counties won't be ours. "Xu Ding didn't have much interest in Luoyang's affairs.

"Well, why are you unhappy, lord?"

Xu Dingdao: "Now I'm thinking, who should I borrow money from?" ”

"Borrow money?" The crowd was puzzled.

Xu Ding said: "We won the battle, but we owe a fart. Stocks and debts, how to celebrate the New Year without borrowing money. ”

"But my lord, we obviously didn't spend much on food, we didn't spend much on pensions, we didn't owe money, and we still have a lot of balances in the account books."

Xu Ding looked at everyone, and then looked up at the sky: "We want everyone in the world to know that we have lost money, and we have lost a lot of money, and we have to rely on debt to get by, so that we can avoid those greedy tentacles in Luoyang!" ”

Only then did the crowd understand.

Yes, don't pretend to be poor, the emperor and Zhang Rang will definitely reach out to Donglai to ask for money.

"And the money you borrow now doesn't have to be repaid later." Before Xu Ding said again, he looked in the direction of Luoyang.

This sentence has a deep meaning.

Don't have to pay it back?

What does that mean?

Everyone didn't understand what Xu Ding meant, but Xu Ding didn't plan to explain, he wouldn't say that Emperor Ling would die in 189, and then He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing, and then the princes of the Eighteenth Road attacked Dong and burned Luoyang, and the world was in chaos.

Everyone has a discernment, and when they saw this, they had no choice but to change the question and ask about the personnel arrangements of the four counties.

The three places of Benhan County, Chenhan County, and Donghao County can be ignored for the first time, after all, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and Donglai has not had so much energy to go deep into fine management for the time being.

Otherwise, Xu Ding will really wipe out the Three Kingdoms completely, where will there be that kind of surrender treatment.

"My lord, Huanghai County needs to move at least 200,000 people to be consolidated, although the population can be recruited from other counties and other states, but the talents in management are what we are most in need of now." Xi Zhicai said with a headache.

Donglai has been expanding, first Weiyuan Island, then by Emperor Ling, and now there is more Huanghai County, which makes Donglai, which is already lacking in talent in governance, facing a greater talent gap.
