Chapter 107: Befriending the Ten Permanent Servants (Part 1)
Of course, even Emperor Ling could not give Liu Tai such a high title at once, it is very likely that after Liu Tai destroyed the Southern Xiongnu, he would increase Liu Tai's 5,000 households or reward the civil and military officials under Liu Tai's command, after all, the position of the general is too high, above the three dukes, under one person, and above ten million people! The officials of Yuan Kui's party in the current dynasty would never agree to appoint Liu Tai, who now has a heavy army, as a general, even Emperor Ling would be very hesitant.
"Princes, if the court orders it, will Tai return it or not?" Liu Tai sighed deeply and looked at the civil and military officials under his command and asked.
All the civil and military officials, hearing Liu Tai's question, all looked at each other, no one dared to speak, even Tian Feng did not dare, after all, the current situation is the soldiers in exchange for their lives, how can they rely on the imperial court edict to retreat?
"Bang!" A fist smashed on the table, Liu Tai's eyes showed a fierce light, glanced around at the reactions of the civil and military officials, then closed his eyes and nodded and said: "Send gold and silver, send exquisite utensils, give it to the Ten Standing Attendants, give it to Your Majesty, no matter what!" Tai will never retreat, even if the Son of Heaven decrees, he will never retreat! ”
"No!" Guo Jia, who was in charge of intelligence and liaison with the Ten Standing Attendants, stood up and took the order, his expression extremely serious! Guo Jia understands that Liu Tai is taking advantage of the situation, borrowing the momentum of the ten permanent servants!
=======================
Luoyang
Since the Xiongnu envoys entered Luoyang, the forces of all parties acted quickly, and they all understood that this time the Xiongnu envoys came, definitely to ask the Han court, or to ask Liu Tai to withdraw the army, the meaning is obvious, the Xiongnu can't stand it.
"Father-in-law, the envoy of Lord Liu from Northern Xinjiang has arrived." A maid, stepping on cat steps, slowly walked into a magnificent hall, and said to Zhang Rang, who was sitting in the first place, thinking, and Zhang Rang was below him, and many eunuchs were in the ranks, among which Zhao Zhong, who was the leader of the ten permanent servants with Zhang Rang, sat on the lower left of Zhang Rang.
This time Zhang let gather the ten permanent servants to come, but also for the Hun envoys, the ten permanent attendants, now I don't know what position to stand on, logically speaking, the eunuchs and the scholars and the hundred officials are incompatible, but Liu Tai is different, Zhang Rang knows, Emperor Ling attaches great importance to Liu Tai, and even has the idea of passing the throne to Liu Tai a hundred years later, so about Liu Tai's affairs, Zhang Rang can't be cautious, and he has to be cautious!
"Let him in." Zhang Rang waved his hand casually.
Not long after, a young man who looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a crown of hair and a green shirt, walked into the magnificent hall under the guidance of the maid.
"Villain Zhou Liang, I've seen all the adults" Zhou Liang knelt on the ground, bowed to the ten permanent attendants, and said.
"Lord Zhou, you and our family are old acquaintances, no need to be polite, this time I came to convey the meaning of Master Hou." Zhang Rang said to Zhou Liang with an amiable face, without the slightest hint that Zhou Liang was just a messenger.
"I still want to be polite, Marquis Zhang, my lord wants to pass the word below, I hope Marquis Zhang and all of you can say a few more kind words in front of Your Majesty." Zhou Liang bowed down with a smile and said.
"Hey, Xiao Liangzi, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush, our brains are not good." Zhao Zhong made an orchid finger in his right hand, put it to his mouth and said in a demonic voice.
Zhou Liang listened to Zhao Zhong's words, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, but fortunately, Zhou Liang was determined and used to it.
"Marquis Zhao, my lord hopes that your lordship will make it impossible for Your Majesty to meet the Hun envoys, of course, the best thing is to drive the Hun envoys out of Luoyang." Zhou Liang knew that this was the best way, and it was also something that Liu Tai had explained, with the ability of the Ten Standing Attendants, it was not easy to expel the Hun envoys?
"Ouch, this is very difficult, I heard that Your Majesty is going to meet the Hun envoys tomorrow." Zhang Rang, who was sitting at the top, gestured to Duan Jue at the bottom right after Zhou Liang's words, Duan Rang immediately understood what Zhang Rang meant, this is to make Liu Tai bleed, Duan Jue couldn't help frowning, and said in a sharp voice.
"This" Zhou Liang frowned, as if the dragon group had not received such news, but suddenly with a flash of inspiration, Zhou Liang understood what Duan Liang meant, this is reaching out and asking for money!
"Lord Duan laughed, with your abilities, don't explain your opinions, even if you say opinions today, you can't escape your arrangements." Zhou Liang said with a smile, and then took out a large stack of Northern Xinjiang silver tickets from his arms and sent them to the handmaid on the side.
"Be careful, not respectful, I hope you will accept it." After Zhou Liang waited for the maid to take away the silver ticket and send it to Zhang Rang and others, he said indifferently.
"En" Zhang let me glance at the silver tickets in the maid's hand, there are about twenty or so, each of which is a large amount of silver tickets, almost about 1,000 taels, and 20 is a full 20,000 taels of silver, 20 million dollars! That's an astronomical sum.
"Xiao Liangzi, don't worry, when did you disappoint you, don't worry, the Hun envoys will definitely not be able to enter the palace." Zhang Rang smiled on his face and said with great satisfaction.
Now, after Liu Tai's adjustment, Beijiang Bank has set a certain share of the interest system and loan system, of course, the loan system can only be applied by the local people of Erzhou, after all, Liu Tai is not so generous, giving money to others to spend.
The money that needed to be paid to keep the gold and silver was also completely canceled by Liu Tai, and the merchants and men who deposited the gold and silver in the bank for free kept it, of course, these money, Northern Xinjiang can be transferred at will, and if the gate lord clan and merchants want to withdraw large sums of money, they must notify the local bank three days in advance, and there is no right to withdraw money on the spot, after all, the gold and silver must be sent back to Northern Xinjiang for preservation, and it is impossible to keep it in the local branch at will.
Among them, antique and rare objects, Huaxia Bank is not free to preserve, after all, these valuables, it is easy to damage, Huaxia Bank has to pay a certain custody fee, if the object is damaged, Huaxia Bank will compensate according to the price, this article has also been welcomed by the vast majority of people, bringing huge income to Liu Tai.
And the eunuchs of the dynasty, it is by virtue of the emperor's favor and can dominate the world, for the eunuchs who have no descendants, money is the most important part of their lives, no matter where they are kept, they will not rest assured, but Huaxia Bank is different, Huaxia Bank was opened by Liu Tai, and Liu Tai is the first powerful person today, and now has a good relationship with the eunuchs, the most important thing is Liu Tai's interest system, which can bring huge profits to Zhang Rang These eunuchs, these eunuchs who regard wealth as their lives, how can they bear not to deposit in Huaxia Bank?
Of course, it's not that Liu Tai is powerful, or the interest rate is high, the most important thing is that the ten permanent servants can write down their property as heirs, if they unfortunately die, these properties will be attributed to the heirs and celebrities, and they are on an errand in the palace, they will pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers.
And if you store the gold and silver in Huaxia Bank, even if you die unexpectedly, the gold and silver will not be copied by the imperial court, and you can leave your relatives who survived to live a good life in the future, and you will not be in vain for your life's hard work.
