Luoyang West Garden is one of the four imperial gardens in Luoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The water canal in the park is clear and can be used for boating. The lotus flower of the southern tribute is planted in the canal, and its leaves are rolled by night and day, and one stem gives birth to four leaves, and it is called "Night Shu Lotus".

There is a "fruit tour hall" built in the garden, boiling water with the incense of the Western Regions, and the remaining juice of the palace maid after bathing is in the canal, which is called "flowing incense canal".

On this day, the heat was unbearable, and Emperor Liu Hong was lying on the cold jade platform, distraught.

Even if a group of naked young palace maids were laughing and playing in front of him, it couldn't arouse his interest.

A slim palace maid saw Liu Hong's unhappy face, and sang "Merchants Song" with her neck, hoping to attract his luck.

"The cool breeze rises and the sun shines on the canal, and the green lotus leaves are comfortable at night. But the day is not enough to be happy, the clear silk flow pipe song jade, long live the millennium! ”

Liu Hong rolled his eyelids and glanced at the palace maid, ignoring her.

Shaofu's money is getting less and less to spend, so I don't know how long I can enjoy the life of Jiuchi Meat Forest.

Leaning his head on a white pottery pillow as white as jade, Liu Hong was ready to squint and sleep for a while, and as far as his eyes could see, the five words "Shu County Zhang Forgetting System" carved on the edge of the white pottery pillow came into view.

A white pottery pillow as white as jade is priced at 10,000 yuan in the market, and this Shu County Zhang forgot that there is really a way to make money.

It's a pity that as an emperor, no matter how red-eyed he is, he can't embezzle the property of his courtiers and people for no reason, otherwise, the court officials will definitely attack him and scold him to the core.

All of them are sanctimonious and high-sounding, but they are nothing more than afraid that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, and they will one day concoct it in the same way and take away their family property.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, one by one who ate the king, and didn't know how to worry about the king, they were really a group of greedy and shameless bastards.

Zhang Rang, the regular waiter, came in a hurry with a book in his hand, his face full of joy.

Looking down at Liu Hong's expressionless face, Zhang Rang knelt on the ground and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, slave." ”

Liu Hong had a deep affection for the Ten Standing Attendants, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "How can I be happy? ”

Zhang Rang folded his hands and offered them: "Your Majesty, you can see it at a glance." ”

Liu Hong stood up on the jade platform, took the fold and looked at it twice, and was overjoyed for a while: "Then Shu County Zhang Wang, want to donate all his wealth and the secret method of white pottery to serve the king?" ”

Zhang Rang's face turned into a flower: "That's right, how can it be fake?" ”

"Yes, Uncle Huang is an upright gentleman, and he will never be a fool."

Liu Hongxi couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up and announce that Uncle Huang will meet you." ”

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Zhang Rang pointed to the beauties in the Liuxiang Canal and persuaded: "It seems inappropriate to meet Master Liu Tao here. ”

Liu Hong reacted, and while summoning the palace maid to come over to serve and dress, he said: "Return to the palace with me quickly, this matter should not be delayed." ”

In the palace, Liu Tao, the servant of the imperial history, raised his eyes to look at the disheveled emperor Liu Hong, and his face was a little gloomy.

After the rule of Wenjing, the emperor generation is not as good as the generation, and I don't know that this Liu surname can continue for a few years.

When Liu Hong saw Liu Tao, he couldn't help but ask: "I already know what Uncle Huang said on the fold, but I don't know who this one forgets?" ”

Liu Tao said: "Zhang forgot Zhang Huaixi, born in the Zhang family of Shu County, this person is knowledgeable and full of talent, and he is really a rare young man in the world." ”

Liu Hong glanced at him in surprise and said, "It's the first time I've seen Uncle Huang praise someone so much in a long time. ”

Liu Tao smiled slightly: "This son temporarily lives next to my house, and he has met a few times." This son has the heart to serve the king, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not seek to be distinguished by the princes, which is really rare. ”

"Rare! Rare! Liu Hong laughed happily, there are more people like this, why don't you worry about having no money to spend.

Liu Tao continued: "The minister has sent someone to investigate, Zhang Wangben was going to Liangzhou to study, but he was trapped in Hongnong on the road and was rescued by the family of Taiwei Yang Ci. By mistake, I came to Luoyang. He has hundreds of slaves in his family, and he doesn't have much floating wealth, but the secret white pottery can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, which can be described as making money every day, which is not false at all. ”

"Tens of thousands of dollars a day, so in a year, isn't it tens of millions of dollars?"

When Liu Hong heard this, his saliva was about to flow out.

The price at which he sells officials on weekdays is 10 million for 3 gongs and 5 million for Jiuqing. Zhang Wangjin's secret method of making white pottery, according to the price alone, can buy the position of the three dukes.

Of course, his age, background and reputation are insufficient, even if he pays 10,000 yuan, it is impossible for him to grant him the position of the third duke, even if he dares to grant it, he will not dare to admit it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree.

Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, also realized this, for fear that Zhang Forget would make excessive requests, so he interjected on the side: "I don't know what official this Zhang Forget wants?" ”

Liu Tao smiled slightly: "This son is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he doesn't seek to be an official, but only to ask for a pair of Mobao from His Majesty." ”

Zhang Forget actually asked for an official, Liu Tao deliberately didn't say it, but wanted to capture the old man so as to fight for more benefits for Zhang Wang.

Liu Hong didn't know his thoughts, and he was even happier when he heard the words.

Don't ask for officials, only ask for your own ink treasure, doesn't this mean that the position of the three princes and nine secretaries is not worthy of one of his own paintings and calligraphy? This sycophant shoot is really refreshing.

Liu Tao continued: "He doesn't seek officials, first, he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and second, he doesn't want His Majesty to be embarrassed. However, it is his business that he does not seek officials, and if His Majesty does not reward him, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious of being unkind, and it is easy to be criticized. ”

"What Uncle Huang said is reasonable."

Liu Hong nodded again and again, thinking that all of his net worth was donated to himself to spend all his money, and if he didn't express it, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world, so who would continue to send money to himself to spend?

After pondering for a while, Liu Hong asked, "According to Uncle Huang's opinion, what position should he be rewarded?" ”

"It is not a good thing for young people to suddenly become noble." Liu Tao said eloquently, "According to the minister's opinion, the official position should not be too high, nor too low, which can not only allow him to show his strengths, but also not make him arrogant, so the best of both worlds." ”

Liu Hong thought for a while and said, "Uncle Huang, how about I transfer him to the Shaofu Mansion?" ”

Shaofu is the institution that is in charge of the emperor's imperial finances, and all the emperor's food and clothing, medicine offerings, garden tours, and utensils are all under the leadership of Shaofu.

Liu Hong fell in love with Zhang Wang's ability to make money, and wanted to take him into his pocket and make money for himself.

Zhang forgets his talent and only uses it to make money, isn't it overkill?

Liu Tao shook his head resolutely: "Your Majesty, Zhang Forget is full of talent, and he is used for business affairs, and he is inevitably suspected of being secretly invested by Mingzhu, and the minister suggested that he be sent to the examination work." ”

The Han Dynasty set up an examination order, 600 stone officials, responsible for the production of weapons, ordnance, bows, crossbows, and swords.

Liu Hong was a little puzzled: "Why did you send him to supervise the manufacture of ordnance?" ”

Liu Tao said earnestly: "The giant deer opens its horns and pretends to be the avenue, bewitching the small people, and it has become a big trend. The minister thought that he had the heart to spy on my surname Liu, and sent Zhang to supervise the manufacture of ordnance, but to prepare the army for war, just in case. ”

"Why is Uncle Huang here to be alarmist again?" Liu Hong listened to Liu Tao's words, and immediately became a little impatient.

Some time ago, Liu Tao and Taiwei Yang Ci wrote three times and twice, repeatedly saying that Zhang Jiao, a giant deer man, was pseudo-trusting the Taiping Sect and had the intention of rebellion.

I specifically consulted the county guards and court officials in various places for this matter, and everyone thought it was a joke.

A group of peasants who are digging in the soil, they don't even know a word, they can't even afford a hoe for farming, what can they rebel with?

In all dynasties, it was a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, and the people rebelled only when they were bored, Liu Tao pointed directly at Zhang Jiao's rebellion, isn't he satirizing himself for not cultivating morality, being mediocre, and provoking the people to be bored, and the people are angry and resentful?

Liu Tao saw that Liu Hong's face was unswerving, and sighed and said: "The examination order is a 600 stone court official, Zhang Forget is young, it is not suitable to take this important position, there is a Cheng under the examination order, and there is a history under the examination order, and the minister feels that Zhang Forget can be temporarily appointed as the history of the examination work." ”

Emperor Liu Hong heard that Liu Tao praised Zhang Forget like a flower, and thought that he was going to ask for a high-ranking official for him, but he was suddenly surprised when he saw that he was just asking for a petty official who was going to take the examination for Zhang Wang.

The so-called petty officials who fight food means that they are less than 100 stones.

A county order has 600 stones, and a person who contributes tens of millions of dollars to his annual income can only be a petty official, which is a bit unkind.

Liu Hong was about to refuse, but saw Liu Tao continue: "Zhang Wangjin offers the secret method of making white pottery, and serves the king loyally, which is the work of his elders' education. The minister suggested that his father be rewarded as a pavilion marquis to show his merits. ”

"I'm waiting for me here." Liu Hong suddenly realized.

Zhang Forget was born in the Zhang family of Shu County, but the Zhang family of Shu County has not been virtuous for several years, so Zhang Wang's background is a little weak. Giving him a high-ranking official is like water without a source, and it won't last long.

But it is different to allow his father to be a pavilion marquis, his father is a pavilion marquis, although he is the lowest first class among the marquis, but he can barely be regarded as a court dignitary, and his worth is rising.

If Zhang forgets to be promoted again due to merit in the future, the resistance will be much smaller.

Liu Tao is deliberately seeking benefits for Zhang Wang, and it seems that he is really optimistic about this young man.

With the secret method of making white pottery to open the way, and with the strong recommendation of Liu Tao, the servant of the imperial history, Zhang Wang, the petty official of fighting food, "Examination Order History" was freshly baked.

Zhang Forget didn't know that he had become a subordinate of the servant Deng Sheng, and had become a specialist in supervising the manufacture of weapons and ordnance.

He was still dreaming of going to work as a prisoner, and he couldn't help but drool at the thought of the tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen.

When Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng went to Zhang Wang's house to announce the decree with the holy will, a team of eunuchs rode out of Luoyang City and went straight to Shu County.

If nothing else, the Zhang clan of Shu County will inexplicably come up with a big Han Pavilion Marquis who has no such person in the near future.
