Chapter 140: The county officials are not as good as the current ones

In the west garden of the palace, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty opened his mansion and sold officials and lords. If the scholars are not bad for money, they are poor for official positions, so they are eager to do so. Families from all over the country are rolling around, running around the "vegetable market" to select and buy suitable official positions.

Qin Feng heard in later generations that the three princes sold for 10 million yuan, but the reality was that they sold for 50 million yuan, so they couldn't help but ask.

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he said, "That was before, and now the price has increased." ”

Cao Cao didn't say why the price increased, he just thought that there were many people robbing and the price was rising. In fact, the real situation is that the Eastern Han Dynasty was inflated in troubled times, and money was worthless.

It turned out that because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was particularly fond of money, he minted a large amount of currency, which made the economy of the Han Dynasty rapidly inflationary, and the money in the hands of the common people also depreciated rapidly.

It is worth mentioning that historical records show that Dong Zhuo was greedy by nature, and in order to loot the people's wealth, he destroyed the 'golden people' in the first year of Chuping (190 AD), and nine of the twelve golden men (bronze men) cast by Qin Shi Huang minted small money. One is about 1 gram, and 50,000 small dollars buy a stone of grain.

And 1,000 grams is one kilogram, 10,000 grams is ten kilograms, and 50,000 small dollars is fifty kilograms. One stone of grain is about fifty or sixty kilograms. In other words, it takes fifty kilograms of money to buy fifty kilograms of grain.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, a large number of coins were minted to collect wealth, and the people became even poorer, which was also one of the fuses of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Emperor Ling of Han was a little enlightened, and he did not mint coins again, but he also had no intention of recovering the currency. The economy that has swelled cannot be returned without any means of regulation.

Therefore, now this money is very worthless, and it is a very huge transaction. At first glance, it looks too rich, but in fact, there is an element of expansion.

Such moments, gold and silver, precious metals. began to play an important role. Therefore, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, gold and silver are exchanged and rewarded with gold and silver. Great money has never been rewarded. Because big money is no longer "worthless",

As for Emperor Han Ling's betrayal, there is also something particular about it. In the first year of Guanghe, that is, in the year 178. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty opened a mansion in the west garden of the palace for the first time, with 10 million public and 5 million.

But inflation was not serious at that time. By this time of Qin Feng, that is, in 184, the price had risen. According to the sales price, one stone is 10,000 yuan, and if you want Qin Feng to buy it for 2,000 stones, you need 20 million yuan to buy it. That's 20,000.

The higher Jiuqing, because of his high status, has to add extra money. Until the three princes and fifty million dollars.

(A thousand dollars is combined.) )

Qin Feng pondered according to his official position: "Twenty thousand, it doesn't sound much." ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Zijin, you don't understand this, the official you bought is not for you to do it for a lifetime." Basically, it rotates once a year, and if you don't pay for it, you will naturally give money to do it. ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he suddenly realized. Said: "People say that there are thousands of family wealth, and the average big family has accumulated these family funds in a few lifetimes, and they will be officials for a year if they co-author? ”

"Aren't we going to be replaced next year?" Qin Fengxin said that it was no wonder that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he found someone who came out and became a big official, and it turned out to be a change every year. If it is the Hereafter. A person who can be in the position of the third prince, as long as he does not make mistakes, he can do it for more than ten decades until he returns to his hometown.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at the people around him who were buying official positions with arrogance, and said to Qin Feng: "Virtuous brother doesn't have to worry. We are all knighted because of merit, how can we be the same as these people who buy officials? ”

In this mansion, there are not only those who are responsible for selling officials, but also those who are responsible for selling land.

Cao Cao and the others took Qin Feng to a deserted corner in the innermost.

Qin Feng saw that behind the counter, three eunuchs were napping.

Cao Cao knocked on the counter, "Don't sleep, don't sleep, business is coming!" ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he was "full of liver and gall".

The three eunuchs were clever for a while, and they all woke up.

The foreman and eunuch were overjoyed when they saw someone coming. The heart said that it hadn't opened for more than half a year, and today someone came to buy the land.

It turns out that whether it is ancient or modern, land is the root of life for the common people, the root of life for the scholars, and the root of life for the imperial court. Therefore, the land of the imperial court was easily not sold.

Although the foreman eunuch wanted to open very much, the sense of superiority brought by the ten permanent servants made the foreman eunuch wave his hand with arrogance, "Is there a strip?" ”

What kind of person Qin Feng is, he doesn't know anything like these people with physical disabilities, so he took out a "strip" with a seal.

When the foreman and eunuch saw that the seal was real, he stuffed it into his cuffs and waved his hand again. The little eunuch beside him didn't have a good face either, and threw out a drawing.

Qin Fengxin said, "Yes, Tang Seng met Ah Ao and Jia Ye, and when he met these three today, he couldn't get any better." ”

He took the drawing, which was actually the "land map" outside Luoyang City. If you look closely, you can see a piece of land, which is just west of Mengjin, the crossing of the Yellow River. It is convenient to guard the crossing, and the land is fertile near the Yellow River.

Then, the foreman eunuch glanced at it and said, "Eighty guan is one acre." ”

"What?" Qin Feng was taken aback. Immediately mentally calculated, he had the gold and silk horses accumulated by the imperial court, and he also had some savings, adding up to 80,000 yuan. "It's a thousand acres of land together, what can I do?"

Qin Feng is going to do big things, the wealthy family doesn't talk about tens of thousands of acres, and his thousand acres of land really don't mean much.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao didn't know how much land Qin Feng could get, they felt that the asking price was too high. The three young people in the capital, with the same spirit, are all brothers. So Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Eighty per acre? You're asking for too much money, aren't you? ”

Yuan Shao's head was big, and he said angrily: "You are the land price converted from the harvest of fifty years, and the usual practice is not more than fifteen years. ”

When the foreman eunuch heard this, he was also annoyed, and waved his hand, "If you love to buy it, you can't buy it, don't buy it!" ”

It was the first time Qin Feng had seen such a bull than selling things, but people were selling things for the emperor's old man, and he had the support of the ten permanent servants, so he really had the foundation of the cow ratio.

Yuan Shao's eyes widened, "Let's get out?" Scared your dog's eyes, do you know who the gentleman is? ”

The foreman and eunuch rolled his eyelids, "Who?" ”

Yuan Shao straightened his chest, "I am the fourth and third dukes, and Yuan Benchu, the captain of Si Li!" ”

Cao Cao took a step forward and raised his head and said, "I am the golden Cao Cao!" ”

When the foreman eunuch heard this, he immediately smiled with a cold face, nodded and said, "It turned out to be Lord Sili and Lord Zhijinwu." The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai. ”

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and Cao Cao said, "Since you already know our identity, let's get cheaper." ”

Who knew that the foreman and eunuch smiled and shook off the dust. said with a cold face: "If you love to buy it, you don't want to buy it." ”

"Ahh Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were dumbfounded, obviously, the foreman eunuch's respect just now was playing tricks on them.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were furious, "Dead eunuch." Look for death! ”

The two of them ran rampant in Luoyang, and they were three young people in the capital, but they didn't expect to be ridiculed by a eunuch here, so they had to do it. Qin Feng was about to make a fuss, and the matter of buying land was also yellow, so he hurriedly stopped it. But his face was also unkind: "The state has national laws, and the transaction must be fair, your price is too unreasonable, give a normal price." ”

The foreman eunuch looked Qin Feng up and down, and shook it in front of him. The male duck screamed, "Who are you?" ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Under the Luoyang Order, Qin Feng and Qin Zijin entered." ”

As soon as the foreman eunuch's eyes opened, he immediately smiled and his fat face was piled up, and he hurriedly saluted with a whisk in his arms, "Hey, it turned out to be Lord Qin, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"Well said, well said." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were stunned, looked at each other, and thought. This dead eunuch turned his face faster than turning a book, and he was ridiculed after a while, and he stopped me from waiting!

Unexpectedly, the subsequent development surprised the two even more.

The foreman eunuch smiled: "Since Lord Qin is here, it must be cheaper." I don't know what the harvest of ten years thinks? ”

This time it is five times cheaper, and it has returned to the normal land price, and it is still on the low side.

Qin Feng calculated, and one thousand acres immediately became five thousand acres. 5,000 acres of land, it must be a big landowner. Therefore, Qin Feng pointed to the lot he fancied and said, "That being the case, right here, I will buy five thousand acres." ”

So, Qin Feng asked Long Wei to bring the gold and silver property, and the two sides counted it in person, and signed and signed the document.

The foreman eunuch smiled: "Tomorrow, I will personally send the title deed to the house." ”

Qin Feng took Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were dazed and incomprehensible, and left the mansion.

As soon as Qin Feng left, the little eunuch didn't understand, and said to the foreman eunuch: "My lord, we have always sold it for fifty years at a discount, why did we just sell it to Luoyang to make Qin Zijin ten years discounted?" ”

The foreman eunuch looked like a discipline, and whispered: "In the palace, these officials have to look at our faces, but after we go out, it is the realm where Qin Zi enters." This Qin Zijin is ruthless, the Hedong Wei family and the Jizhou Cui family were all tossed and broken up by him alone. Let's be careful...... ”

The little eunuch still didn't understand, and said: "My lord, then Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde are also from prominent backgrounds, why are they ......." ”

The foreman eunuch said earnestly: "I see that you are also from my own family, teach you to be a good person, this is the county official is not as good as the current management." Yuan Shao's lieutenant is in charge of officials, and Cao Cao's ruling Jinwu is the garrison of the official imperial city, and he has nothing to do with us. ”

"But that Qin Zijin is in charge of the security of Luoyang City, we always have to leave the palace, and officials like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not afraid. If he offends Qin Zijin and walks on the boundary of Luoyang, it will not be safe, he will think of a crime casually, and he will not be able to come back ...... if he drags us into prison. ”

After the foreman and eunuch finished speaking, he couldn't help but tremble for a while, and said: "The ancestors of the Wei family are Empress Wei and the general Wei Qing, who are illustrious, but they offended Qin Zijin. Qin Zijin sent his northern lieutenant Liu Xuande, who was also notoriously ruthless. I'd rather be beaten myself than pull the Wei family off the horse. ”

"There are three young people and one eagle dog in the capital, the most powerful thing in this is Qin Zi's entry, he can use any means, such a person, we can't offend."

The little eunuch humbly accepted the teaching, and kept nodding.

In the coming day, Luoyang Mansion Office, Qin Feng's "office".

"Lord, lord!" Dian Wei happily ran in, raised the precious Luoyang paper in his hand, and exclaimed: "Lord, the title deed is here, the title deed is here." Now the brothers were settled. ”

Not only has Qin Feng's trapped camp been settled, but Qin Feng is also a family person.

Qin Feng was overjoyed, and suddenly his heart moved, just like his husband who finally saved money to buy a house in the later life, "Take your daughter-in-law and go to see your new home!" ”

So, Qin Feng took Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others all the way to Cai's mansion non-stop.

However, when he arrived at the door, Qin Feng was stunned. suddenly found that everything in this life is already a new beginning, not to mention whether Cai Yan will go with him to see the "new home", the door of Cai's mansion is not easy to enter. (To be continued.) )
