0171: Spoils
"4 into ?!" Lu Bu looked at Li Yi with wide eyes, completely unable to believe his ears. Although Lu Bu didn't know how much the things in this room were worth, anyway, Lu Bu had never seen so much money in his life, even if it was the 500,000 money that the imperial court rewarded Li Yi in the past.
"Or else? Do you still want to take it all? Li Yi looked at Lu Bu amusedly and asked.
Hearing this, without any hesitation, Lu Bu nodded desperately, "Lord, there are so many things, how much does it cost to make 4 into that......" Lu Bu persuaded.
In his opinion, since Cao Cao and the others have already left with interest, then the things in this room are naturally theirs. After all, it's conventional.
"Is 4 into a lot? So isn't it more for us to take 6 percent? Li Yi scolded with an angry smile when he heard this, "And in the entire Guangzong City, there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, although it is a matter of convention, but you take so many things in such a public eye, even if it is a cover-up, how can others not guess?" ”
"Yes......" Lu Bu heard this, although he was helpless, he still nodded in response. has followed Li Yi since he was a child, so that Lu Bu understands what decision Li Yi has still made, and there is no one who can persuade him at all. Moreover, although Lu Bu didn't understand why he did this, he also knew that Li Yi definitely had a reason to do it.
Seeing the reluctant expression on Lu Bu's face, Li Yi said with a smile, "Okay, it's a free fortune, you can't be too greedy, go quickly." By the way, call the three Meng De back. ”
"Even if you hand it over, you have to divide it among the three ......of them," Lu Bu muttered, but he still left honestly.
And after Lu Bu left, Li Yi glanced around, touched here and there, and looked at it for a long time before muttering to himself, "Tsk, look here, you can know how much wealth has been robbed in this wave of the Yellow Turban Rebellion." No wonder throughout the ages, so many people like to take advantage of the landlord's family......"
Speaking of which, is Li Yi so willing to give away all this money? Naturally, he was reluctant, otherwise he would not have planned to buy materials in a big way, so he would have made a lot of money when the five baht money depreciated wildly. Although the ensuing drought failed his plans, he never gave up his thirst for money.
After all, as a time-traveler, Li Yi understands the importance of money better than anyone in his time may be. Strive for world hegemony, develop people's livelihood, cultivate talents, and research armaments...... There doesn't seem to be any need for money in this world, but in terms of the economic situation, it is estimated that it is a little better than Jiaozhou in the thirteen states of the entire Han Dynasty.
Liangzhou? You must know that since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou has always been the gateway of the Hexi Corridor, and it is also an important transit point for trade between the countries of the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty, not to mention its status as the largest horse farm in the Han Dynasty! In the past, the good horses attacked by the Dawan Kingdom were all raised in Liangzhou.
In this way, how can Li Yi, who has already regarded the merger of states as the foundation of his struggle for world domination, not worry? And in addition to money, he also has a lot of headaches, such as population, such as the Huns......
After half a ring, Cao Cao and the three followed Lu Bu back to the county mansion, and they looked at Li Yi with strange expressions, obviously not understanding why Li Yi did this. Although Lu Bu didn't say anything, with their intelligence, how could they not guess why Li Yi would let them come back?
"Hehe, Meng De, you three don't have to look at me like this, after all, I didn't think that Zhang Jiao grabbed so many things~" Li Yi said, casually pointing to the box placed aside. Before the three of them came back, Li Yi had already asked people to pack the money and things in the house, but what was placed in front of Cao Cao and the others at this time was the one that Li Yi had prepared for the three of them. Well...... About half of it.
"Meng De, the three of you are the most familiar with me, so ......" Li Yi smiled casually, and then pointed to the three boxes on the ground.
"It's not appropriate, is it?" Cao Cao looked at Li Yi strangely and said, and hearing Cao Cao's words, Sun Jian and Liu Bei also nodded. It's just that compared to Cao Cao's purely puzzled expression, Sun Jian and Liu Bei seemed much more entangled.
There is no way, who made Cao Cao a child of the family? Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was the great Si Nong of the current dynasty, and Cao Song's adoptive father was the eunuch Cao Teng. Although it sounds like Cao Cao is a descendant of eunuchs, this Cao Teng is completely different from Zhang Rang's eunuchs, and he is a highly respected eunuch in the mouth of the sergeant doctor of the court.
In the early years, Cao Teng supported Liang Ji to poison Emperor Liu Zhang, and supported Emperor Huan Liu Zhi to ascend the throne, so he was promoted to Dachangqiu by the marquis. However, these are not the reasons why Cao Teng is admired, the real reason is that Cao Teng has recommended countless talents for the emperor in his life, and they are all famous people in the world.
For example, Zhang Wen, who was just promoted to Sikong this year, was recommended and promoted by Cao Teng. In addition, there is Zhang Huan, one of Li Yi's mentors, who was also recommended by Cao Teng in his early years. And this is not only why Cao Cao, as a descendant of eunuchs, can still become friends with many young talents who hate eunuchs, and he can still be safe and sound when he offended many powerful people in the early years. With this kind of family background, how could Cao Cao care about this money? But Sun Jian and Liu Bei are different.
Sun Jian was born in a poor family, although his family background in Fuchun is not bad, but it is only compared with ordinary people. Moreover, Sun Jian's subordinates were all recruited by Sun Jian from Jiangdong, although most of them were because of his local reputation and personality, but obviously, money still had to be given, not to mention the pensions of those who died in battle.
And what about Liu Bei? is slightly better than Sun Jian, after all, his business in Zhuo County, although he is not the richest man, is also ranked. It's just that compared with Sun Jian, Liu Bei spends money more lavishly. It's not just the cost of making friends with heroes and celebrities, Liu Bei himself likes gorgeous clothes and extravagant enjoyment very much, which makes the money Liu Bei earn spend faster.
Although Liu Bei traveled all the way and made a lot of money by exterminating the Yellow Turban, from the thousands of people in Zhuoxian County to the 10,000-person team after arriving in Guangzong, where was the expenditure in the middle? If it weren't for the fact that most of these soldiers recruited by Liu Bei were forced to follow Liu Bei to make meritorious contributions because of Liu Bei's deterrence, I am afraid that Liu Bei would have been eaten down by them a long time ago.
"There's nothing inappropriate~ Take it, the share of Yizhen Gong and Gongwei Gong, as well as many colleagues, I also prepared it, and handed it over to the imperial court~" Li Yiyan smiled when he heard this, "Moreover, if you don't take it, how can I take my share with peace of mind?" ”
"That's it, then thank you Zikang!" Cao Cao and the three of them were silent for a moment when they heard this, and then thanked them.
