Zuo Feng smiled and said: "Liu Duwei is really magnificent, in fact, it is not much, the official position is 50 million yuan, and the knighthood is 50 million yuan, I believe that this little money is nothing to Liu Duwei, right?" ”

Depend on! Liu Ze has already scolded his mother in his heart, these turtle grandsons, they really treat Lao Tzu as a Kaizi, 100 million dollars, why don't you go and rob it! The official position market in Luoyang is only 20 million for 2,000 stones, and only half the price is charged for those who are transferred and promoted. What's even more outrageous is that a mere Zhuolu Pavilion Marquis also dared to ask for 50 million, and he had already remembered himself when he was in Yuyuan Pass, and this time he finally seized the opportunity to slaughter this knife. Liu Ze finally has a kind of sadness, it seems that Emperor Han Ling is not worried about his money for a day or two.

Liu Ze pretended to sigh and said: "It's really not a matter if this matter is changed to two years ago, but now it's different from the past, today's next, let alone 10,000 yuan, even 10,000 yuan, I'm afraid I can't take it out." ”

Zuo Feng's face sank when he heard this, and he said, "What does Captain Liu mean by this?" Who doesn't know that Liu Duwei is a giant in the capital, rich and rivals the country, if Liu Duwei has no money, won't we be so poor that I can't even afford to wear pants? ”

Liu Ze shook his head helplessly and said, "This is really nothing!" Father-in-law Zuo, there is no lie in the next, since the Yellow Turban Chaos, our business has long been closed, there is no business to do, hundreds of mouths under the light can not afford to feed, since the porridge of the Yuanshe, the family business in the next has already been squandered, the shop is closed, and the personnel are dismissed, which is also obvious to all in the capital, if Father-in-law Zuo does not believe it. You can go and find out for yourself. Besides, in the past two years, he has joined the army, only killing the enemy on the front line, and the business affairs have long been flawless. Of course, this can also be understood below, after all, it is a period of national crisis, and if you can't get food, you can tighten your belt, which can be regarded as solving problems for the court. But this 100 million money really makes it difficult for me, although I have a heart to serve the country. He is also willing to share the sorrows of the saints. But this is really beyond the scope of his ability, beyond his power, and begging for forgiveness from Father-in-law Zuo and the emperor. ”

Saying that, Liu Ze pretended to be sincerely afraid. He bowed to Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng couldn't hide his disappointment. said: "Liu Duwei is a credit to the court. How can the saint condemn the crime, even if Liu Duwei is really difficult to come up with the money, the saint will not ignore the merits of the captain. The reward is still the same, please rest assured that Liu Duwei. ”

Liu Ze said: "Thank you Father-in-law Zuo." ”

Zuo Feng waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks, if Liu Duwei wants to thank Xie Shengshang, it is." Today, our family came by the emperor's order to ask Liu Duwei's opinion, and the official position on this fold can be arbitrarily selected by Liu Duwei. As he spoke, he took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Ze.

Liu Ze frowned slightly, he politely refused Zuo Feng's attempt to ask for money, originally thought that Zuo Feng would turn his face and even brush his sleeves away, but he never thought that Zuo Feng not only did not get angry, but took out the official list for himself to choose, this is the situation of Shenma? When did these eunuchs become so talkative?

After Liu Ze opened the excerpt, he suddenly understood that there were hundreds of vacant official positions densely listed on this fold, although there were a lot of them, but they were just sesame mung bean officials such as county commanders and county lieutenants, not only the Yanzhou Mu mentioned by everyone before was not among them, but also the official positions such as the county guard and the minister of the country.

It turns out that Zuo Feng has already prepared several sets of rosters this time, if Liu Ze is willing to hand over 100 million yuan, Zuo Feng will inevitably come up with a roster, and the Marquis of Chongzhou Muzhuo Lu Pavilion is on this roster, if Liu Ze can't take out 100 million and only stuff a few million, Zuo Feng has also prepared a second roster, and some of the county ministers are listed by him in the meantime, if Liu Ze is not a dime, then I'm sorry, just like now, there are all low-level sesame petty officials for you to choose.

Liu Ze took a look, Anxi County Lieutenant, Xiami County Cheng, Gaotang County Lieutenant, Pingyuan County Commander, these official positions that Liu Bei had served in history are all impressively listed, Liu Ze's mind is turning rapidly, history always has striking similarities, even if Liu Bei did not participate in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the younger brother who replaced him on the expedition also faced the same situation, is it possible that the road that Liu Bei has walked in his career must be re-walked by me?

Zuo Feng showed a sarcastic look on his face, and said with a gloomy smile: "Don't worry, Liu Duwei can choose slowly, if there is a favorite official position, you can directly sue our family, and our family will be enlightened and sheng, and Liu Duwei will be promoted." ”

Liu Ze closed the fold and handed it back to Zuo Feng, and arched his hand: "This list has been read below, and I am tired of Zuo Gonggong's gift to the Holy Lord, except for the plain county order, there is no other picky in the Lower Order, and I am sent by the Holy Lord." ”

Zuo Fengqi said: "There are hundreds of this list, why did Liu Duwei only exclude Pingyuan County, why is this?" ”

Liu Ze pretended to groan: "The reason for this is ...... It's for personal reasons, and it's inconvenient to tell my father-in-law, so please forgive me. ”

Zuo Fengshou folded back and said: "In this case, our family will retire first." ”

Liu Ze Shili said: "Father-in-law walks slowly, I will not send it far." ”

Leaving Liu's mansion, Zuo Feng went straight back to the palace, went to see Zhang Rang, and reported the situation at Liu Ze's place one by one, and finally said: "Lord Zhongchang, my subordinates have secretly investigated, several coal factories to which Liu Ze's erector belonged have long been suspended, the kiln factory in Quyang was also destroyed in the war, and the Fuyuanzhuang store in the capital was also closed, and now he is poor and white, not to mention 100 million yuan or hundreds of thousands of money, he can't take it out." ”

Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said, "Zuo Feng, you have disappointed Ben Hou too much. "Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were all named liehous by Emperor Ling, so he was naturally commensurate with his own marquis.

His words bluffed Zuo Feng's face like earth, and he knelt down and bowed: "Lord Zhongchang forgives his sins." ”

Zhang Rang half raised his eyelids and said: "Get up, Ben Hou doesn't need to blame you, if you want to blame Liu Ze's erection is really treacherous, when he was relieving those untouchables in Yuyuan Pass, he spent no less than 300,000 yuan, if he didn't have ten times this amount on hand, could he be willing to spend so much money to sell his reputation?" I'm afraid it's far more than ten times the number, the two of coal and porcelain, enough to bring him a lot of money, even if there is no business to do in the past two years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, do you really believe that he can't even take out 100 million dollars? ”

Although the weather is still cold, Zuo Fengman's head is full of sweat, and he flatteringly said: "Lord Zhongchang's eyes are like torches, his subordinates are dull, and he was almost deceived by him, so his subordinates will go to the shaft again, and he must let him vomit some blood!" ”

Zhang Rang waved his hand and said: "No need, since the shaft refuses, there is no possibility of changing, I heard that he is the disciple of the old stubborn Lu Zhi, it seems that he is the same virtue as Lu Zhi, and the stone in the pit is stinky and hard." Just now, you said that the shaft didn't pick or pick up, but only said that other official positions can be held except for the plain county order? ”

Zuo Feng said: "Yes, the subordinates are still wondering, the Pingyuan County Commander can be regarded as a middle-to-upper official position in this batch of vacant lists, why did this kid ask him for this?" The subordinates also asked a special question, but he just didn't say anything, only reasoned about his personal reasons, and didn't say anything explicitly. ”

Zhang Rang groaned: "Could it be that this shaft wants to capture the old man?" - Someone, check Ben Hou for the recent recitals from the Plains State Newspaper. ”

Soon, a little eunuch handed over the recital of the Plains Kingdom. Zhang Rang looked at it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough-this shaft is very well-informed——"

Zuo Feng said in surprise: "What Lord Zhongchang is referring to is ......"

Zhang Rangdao: "This is the latest report of Pingyuan Country, this spring, the Yellow River burst its banks, and nearly seventy percent of the land in Pingyuan County was flooded. ”

Zuo Fengxi said: "Miaoji, isn't he unwilling to go to Pingyuan County?" Then this time, he asked him to go to the plain, and let him have a dumb man to eat Coptis chinensis - there is no need to say anything about the suffering, and he is playing tricks with the Zhongchang adults, and he is still a little tender in this shaft. ”

Zhang Rang smirked smugly, but suddenly put his face on the ground and said sternly: "How to settle it, there is a ruling from the emperor, how can this marquis go beyond the throne?" But that shaft is really hateful, in Yangquan Mountain put Ben Hou together, and later made what secret letter to the yellow scarf to frame Ben Hou, is it tolerable or unbearable, if you don't give him a little hard to eat this time, really Ben Hou is afraid of him? ”

Zuo Feng sneered: "With the power of Lord Zhongchang, strangling him is just strangling an ant, and it is cheap to teach him a lesson." ”

Zhang Rang shook his head lightly and said: "I can't say that, after all, this shaft is also considered a clan member of the Han family, and the emperor used Liu Yan, Liu Yu and other clan ministers this time, which has the intention of letting the children of the clan take power, but fortunately, this shaft did not accept the loss of money in Xiyuan, otherwise it would be really not easy to do." ”

"Lord Zhongchang is too worried, the emperor calls the adult his father, and his reliance on the adult is comparable to Taiyue, how can it be compared to those clans, in this court, it is still your lordship." Zuo Feng's ability to pat horses and whiskers is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhang Rang was extremely impressed by this words, and said half-loudly: "The emperor's dragon body is healed, and the great courtroom is close at hand, Zuo Feng, you have to hurry up." ”

Zuo Feng seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said: "This is a bit tricky, except for Cui Lie, the Taishou of Wei County, who agreed to donate five million money to Situ, most people are resistant to donating officials, especially that Huangfu Song, relying on military merits, he didn't take you seriously at all, and threatened not to give a penny." ”

Zhang Rang said hatefully: "This old man of the emperor is against Ben Hou everywhere, so let him be proud for a while, and wait for Ben Hou to seize the opportunity, he must be punished!" Zuo Feng, you still have to put more thought, this Hajj reward is a good time to disintegrate their so-called 'clear stream', those who refuse to pay will be suppressed, and those who are willing to donate money will be cultivated and allocated for my use in the future. Zuo Feng bowed and bowed, and retreated. (To be continued......)
