Chapter 193: Worshipping the Marquis (I)

After five days of day and night travel, Zhang Fan and his party finally arrived at the city of Luoyang, and Lu Lingqi never understood why Zhang Fan was in such a hurry to rush to Luoyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was as if they were being chased along the way, and they only rested for three hours a day, and it was not enough to travel overnight; One person and two horses, every time you pass a station of the tea division, you immediately change horses, and you don't know how many horses are tired all the way......

Why is Zhang Fan so impatient?

Because Zhang Fan knew that Emperor Liu Hong was about to breathe, he couldn't do it in a hurry!

Liu Hong'er returned to heaven at midnight on May 13, 189 AD, but it seems that Zhang Fan's great joy of pacifying Shanyue stimulated the terminally ill Emperor Han Ling, and his condition actually turned around slightly......

Today is May 18th, but he is still alive and well, of course, judging from the signs, it is likely to be a return to the light.

Zhang Fan had to be anxious, he didn't care if Liu Hong died or not, but at least he had to knight himself before he died.

You must know that Zhang Fan spent a lot of money to dredge up a lot of relationships for this knighthood, including the ten permanent servants who also received a lot of money from him, if Liu Hong suddenly hung up, wouldn't it be a waste of money to spend such a large sum of money?

Where did Zhang Fan get so much money?

Although after many researches, everyone knows that the yield of fifteen stones per mu is the best part of the field, but the average yield of more than ten stones per mu is also very amazing, and everyone is eager to buy seeds.

Zhang Fan considered that he was now fledgling, and eating alone was too ugly to avoid being coveted. Taking 10,000 steps back, only the first generation of hybrid seeds can guarantee the yield, and the offspring will gradually reduce the yield. Moreover, the growing climate in different regions is different, and the yield is difficult to reach his level.

What's more, he still holds in his hands potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar beets, eggplants, and other nuclear weapons with tons per mu, what is a mere cross-bred wheat?

So Zhang Fan waved his hand and sold! The highest price wins! At the same time, the limited edition also guarantees that no one clan will buy a lot of it.

However, this does not prevent buyers from getting it back to continue to cultivate, and plant it a few more times, isn't the quantity enough? Of course, they who have not studied biology do not know that the offspring of this cross-bred crop will gradually degrade, and the yield will decrease year by year.

This batch of 60,000 stone of wheat was sold out in just three days at a sky-high price of more than 20 times the market price. Even so, the people who bought it were still grateful to Zhang Fan, and more people who didn't buy it complained.

After all, the objects of this sale are all the top wealthy families in various states and counties, and the maximum amount of money in each person's hands is only a few hundred catties, even if it is purchased at twenty times the price, for them, it is only the money for a banquet, a drop in the bucket.

Because Zhang Fan asked some buyers to trade with grain at a discount, boats and truckloads of grain were transported to Huanglongzhai from all over the place, and soon hundreds of newly built granaries in Huanglongzhai were filled with grain.

……

In fact, if Zhang Fan didn't stuff the money, the original princes of the imperial court planned to seal a Guannei Marquis and send him away...... But how can a mere Guan Neihou satisfy Zhang Fan's appetite, what he wants is the highest rank of liehou-champion Hou.

The liehous of the Eastern Han Dynasty were divided into county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis from high to low, and the food of the liehou was also high and low.

Of course, it is not easy to be named the champion Hou, in fact, in terms of Zhang Fan's merits, it is also said that he was named a liehou, but Tinghou is already an exception.

After all, he was too young, and he was named the most senior county marquis at the age of nineteen, so what should he do if he made meritorious contributions in the future? Isn't it rewardable and unrewarded, and ascended unrewarded?

This time, even Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who have always been reckless, were taken aback by Zhang Fan's ambition. For the sake of money, they tactfully persuaded Zhang Fan not to be so anxious, it was a matter of time before he was crowned a county marquis with his ability.

However, Zhang Fan resolutely disagreed, what about the cheat? You ten permanent servants are about to be cut down by He Jin, where can you speak of the future?

Moreover, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is already the last afterglow of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the next step is to stage the drama of Dong Zhuo entering Beijing, abolishing the young emperor Liu Bian, and establishing Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the emperor, the influence of the imperial court has declined sharply, and the Eastern Han Dynasty regime exists in name only.

When that time comes, let alone the county marquis, even if I divide a prince to me, will it be useful? There is nothing to speak of at all, and no one will take it seriously.

In layman's terms, Zhang Fan knew that the large enterprise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was about to go bankrupt, and at this time, he was also planning to use the last opportunity to cash out and make a small profit. When the company goes out of business, even if you give me more equity, it's not a piece of waste paper.

Liu Hong is a faint monarch, yes, then he is also an orthodox emperor with strong roots, and the people of the world who are in his division must still admit it. This is very helpful for Zhang Fan to improve his identity.

In ancient times, it was very beneficial to pay attention to "justifiable names" and to hold the title of the highest rank, whether it was for recruiting talents or absorbing the hearts of the people......

Zhang Fan worked desperately and raced against time to pacify Shanyue, isn't it just to improve his status and prestige as soon as possible? Now that the prestige has been brushed up, all that remains is to improve the status.

Although he is known as the son of the Zhang family, Zhang Fan's father is not a descendant, and he himself is just a concubine born of a concubine. Although Zhang's father only has one son, he was able to bear the identity of the heir, but it was inevitable that he would be lower.

Such an identity is a little higher than that of ordinary people, the views of the ancient family are very prominent, and most of the strategists are from famous families, how can they be willing to assist a person with a lower status than themselves?

At first, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had set the rule that "if there is no merit and the marquis, the world will punish him", but it has not been followed, on the contrary, those who worship the prime minister must be crowned marquis, those who are still in charge must be marquis, and the queen's father must be marquis, which has become a common practice in the Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the official lords were sold, and the nature of the official lords was changed. After Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, he opened the West Mansion at the beginning and sold the official titles, which led to the corruption of officials and accelerated the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the popularity of selling official titles that the general titles are actually not very valuable, but the gold content of the candidates is still very high.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no division of "princes, sons and men", and they were divided into 20 levels. Among them, the first-level public servant to the eighth level public passenger is a low lord, and it is mostly given to ordinary people; The fifth doctor of the ninth level to the nineteenth level of the marquis of Guannei is a high lord, and many officials and meritorious officials are given; The liehous were the highest rank, and only a few high-ranking officials and noble clansmen could enjoy it.

In fact, the titles sold in the Eastern Han Dynasty were only up to the eighth level, and the high lords and liehou were not for sale.

Because of this, the title of this champion marquis Zhang Fan is bound to win. (To be continued.) )
