It turned out that Liu Bei was dissatisfied with Emperor Han Ling, a faint monarch, and kowtowed several times. Dissatisfied, he sarcastically said to Emperor Han Ling. Fortunately, Emperor Han Ling didn't see Faust. I couldn't hear the irony in Liu Bei's words. So he raised his glass and drank it down, and said with a smile: "Well said, may it be long this day." ”

The reason why the emperor is terrible is that he has the power to judge life and death. This kind of right doesn't matter if you are a traverser or not, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart, you should pay attention to what you say in the future.

Emperor Han Ling took the wine glass and said to Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, although you are my brother. But in business, even brothers have to settle accounts, and the money for buying goods cannot be saved. ”

In the eyes of Emperor Han Ling, the Han Empire is his, so there is nothing wrong with him taking out his official position and selling it. In his opinion, it was just business, but Emperor Han Ling's goods were more special. Liu Beixin said that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was about the reincarnation of a profiteer for eight lifetimes.

Emperor Ling of Han was direct and said to Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, the plain is a big county, and it originally cost 20 million yuan. It's just that first, you are a clan, and secondly, you have military merits. Therefore, I will only charge you half the price of 10 million dollars. Since you don't have any money right now. I'll allow you to pay it off in three years, five million a year, fifteen million in total, you know? ”

Liu Bei said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, wait until after the autumn harvest next year." The minister should send 10 million to the capital and hand it over to His Majesty. The minister is willing to make a military order, if he can't do it, ask His Majesty to cut off the minister's head.

”

For a strange person like Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, what country and nation, what monarch and minister, what court system, what rules and regulations,

It's all a few handfuls of light.

For this kind of person who has a pathological pursuit of accumulating money, it is directly a word, money. Two words, give money. Three words, smashed with money. Even if the money is not cash, but a blank check.

The number of 10 million immediately attracted the attention of Emperor Han Ling. asked, "Xuande, this is true." ”

Okay, what does it mean that money can make ghosts push ghosts, this is called money can make ghosts push ghosts, and 10 million hasn't been taken out yet, Emperor Han Ling didn't even call Liu Bei anymore, and began to call Xuande.

At that moment, Liu Bei said: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not bully the king. The minister is not only willing to give His Majesty 10 million money next year. In the future, I am willing to give His Majesty 10 million dollars every year. ”

Then Liu Bei added in his heart, of course, he will burn paper money for you

。

10 million dollars, and it is given every year, and suddenly in the eyes of Emperor Han Ling, Liu Bei has become the cutest person. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, loyal minister, loyal minister, this is a loyal minister. Thinking that everyone else would fight his own small treasury, only Liu Bei was willing to contribute to his own small treasury, and he was so happy that 10 million a year was promised. This is not a loyal minister, but a loyal minister.

Think about modern time and space, those who have been cheated out of money by various illegal financial management methods, what, what private lending, what foreign exchange investment. Are these people stupid, of course not, they are just blinded by the huge benefits, thus forgetting the potential risks.

And Emperor Ling of Han is different, he thinks that he is the emperor, he is the biggest in the world, no one dares to rely on his accounts, and no one dares to pay his debts in front of him. He is more likely to be deceived than those who have been deceived by illegal financial management, because he is less vigilant.

Of course, Emperor Han Ling's thoughts were not wrong. If Liu Bei hadn't known that Emperor Han Ling would die next year, he would never have done such a small move, saying that if he gave money, he had to give money honestly. It's not that Liu Bei has the ability to dare to play the emperor, but that Liu Bei can predict the future, that's all.

Now. Liu Bei saw that Emperor Han Ling seemed to be very happy drinking, so he deliberately sighed and made a look of pity, and said: "It's a pity that in the land of Qingzhou, there are millions of yellow scarves entrenched. Otherwise, why worry about not being able to make money every day. ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, his heart moved. suddenly remembered Liu Bei's great achievements in breaking tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves with thirty cavalry. I couldn't help but ask: "Liu Bei, since you can defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops with thirty people." If I give you 3,000 soldiers. Can you defeat the Qingzhou Million Yellow Turban Army. ”

The heart said that I was waiting for you, Liu Bei deliberately said at the moment: "The minister used thirty cavalry to break tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves." It was really because the Yellow Turban thieves didn't understand the art of war that they were broken by the ministers. There are millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou. How can there be no one or two capable people. With 3,000 people, the ministers really didn't dare to obey the edict. ”

Seeing Emperor Han Ling's face, there was a look of disappointment. Liu Bei continued: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. The minister is not talented, and he is willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to defeat the millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou. At that time, he will definitely be able to bring His Majesty 50 million in income every year. ”

One mention of money. Emperor Han Ling immediately became shrewd and asked, "Qingzhou obviously has six counties. Why only 50 million. ”

What if you are given five small goals, anyway, you won't live at that time, Liu Bei complained in his heart and said: "This 50 million is just the income of Qingzhou, Linzi is rich, and it is rare in the world, this place can give Your Majesty 50 million a year, and Qingzhou can give Your Majesty 100 million money a year." ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, 100 million a year." Emperor Han Ling was overjoyed, this is equivalent to selling five Taishou in a year.

"Just." Liu Bei deliberately showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Just how," Emperor Han Ling asked.

"It's just that I want to pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves, and the minister still has a few difficult things here."

"Aiqing doesn't have to worry. If there is anything difficult, you can say it, and I will make your own decisions. ”

In order to have a profit of 100 million a year, Liu Bei has been upgraded to Aiqing. When Liu Bei heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the plains. It is not difficult to recruit 10,000 elite soldiers. It's just that weapons and armor are both lacking. It is difficult to form an army. ”

"What's so hard about that?" Emperor Han Ling said. It's a small goal of 100 million. Emperor Han Ling's IQ directly broke through to the sky. I saw him say righteously: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban is entrenched on one side, fighting against the Han Tianwei, killing the people of me, and the crime is unforgivable." Liu Bei of the Plains, originally a relative of the Han family, was brave and strategic, and now he is the Prime Minister of the Plains. Ordered Liu Bei to take two hundred pairs of weapons and armor from the arsenal. No, take 300 pairs of weapons and armor to pacify the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou, and return the people to Haiqing Heyan, and the world is peaceful. Aiqing should fight bravely to kill the enemy and live up to my hopes. ”

provoked this, Liu Bei actually didn't want anything else, just wanted some weapons and equipment in the Luoyang arsenal, armor and crossbows, these are all good things that money can't buy, not to mention that Liu Bei has no money. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he obtained the treasures of the country's armor soldiers to shock the world, and if there were armor soldiers, he could organize the army, and if he had treasures, he could buy the enemy.

Treasures, Liu Bei didn't dare to think about it, it was still possible for a soldier to think about it, in fact, what made Liu Bei drool the most was actually those craftsmen in Shaofu, in ancient times, there were no precision instruments and various instruments in later generations, and one to do something was by luck, and the other was by experience. Shaofu has tens of thousands of registered craftsmen, and although these craftsmen may not have much education, they are craftsmen from their parents, grandparents, and even eight generations of ancestors. If Liu Bei wants to engage in technology research and development and climb the science and technology tree, these people are the best engineers and skilled workers. It's just that Liu Bei couldn't think of any way to get them away for a while.

Therefore, Liu Bei listened to the words of Emperor Ling of Han. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The minister must do his best and die. In order to repay Your Majesty's grace from the heavens and the earth. ”

Although I fooled you with a blank check, but in the future, if I can prosper the Han Dynasty and be above the history, I will always say a good word about you, Liu Bei thought to himself. This can be regarded as repaying you for this kindness today.
