Zhang Rang was in such a mood that Liu Feng didn't pay attention to, and when he saw that he was deep in thought, he beckoned the little eunuch to take him out of the palace.

It hurts to think about losing so much money all at once. Although people's income level is good at this stage, and those with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands can only be regarded as ordinary wage earners, but with hundreds of millions of assets, they can definitely be regarded as not a small rich man.

Not to mention, the exchange system has been open for a long time, and he hasn't even exchanged a single one, and he is still in a state of deficit.

"Well, why are you crying with a sad face?" Back at the post house, Xueba saw that Liu Feng's state was not right, and asked.

Liu Feng's identity is different, and it doesn't cost money to live in the post house, even if he brings a stranger entourage in, the people in the post house don't say anything.

"Money, from last night to now, I have lost another 160 million, how do you think I am in a good mood?" Liu Feng sat down, and there was an incomprehensible emotion in his voice.

"You're buying an official again?" Xueba's words.

"Why do you say it so bluntly, I have made a meritorious service, in order not to be swallowed by others, I spent some money." Liu Feng said, "This is investment, do you understand investment?" ”

"Since it's an investment, why are you so low?" "If the investment is successful, you have to make a lot of money." Tell me, what kind of official did you buy? ”

"Jue is promoted to one level, Shangyu Township, if there is no accident, Shiyi is Diaoyutai Township." Liu Feng said.

"Then I'll give you a calculation," Xue Badao, "Shangyu is a big county, with a large population, and the land of one pavilion before has an annual income of about fifty or sixty thousand gold, and there are four pavilions in Diaoyutai Township, according to the less, there is almost an annual income of 200,000 gold." How much did you spend? ”

"A total of 1.6 million gold." Liu Feng also added Zhang Rang's errand fees.

"It will take eight years to pay for itself, which is not too long." Xueba smiled, "Then you can be careful, now you are still a big man, no one dares to do anything to the place of the court, and when the princes compete for hegemony, it may not be, if Shangyu is occupied, you will not be able to receive money." That's a big loss. ”

"Who dare?" Liu Feng suddenly burst into passion, stood up and said loudly, "I spent so much money on the layout, just to win the Huiji as soon as possible, who dares to be my wealthy, I will play with him." ”

"Alright, alright, what are you yelling at me?" Xueba pushed Liu Feng back into place, "Besides, how much money did you earn before?" And how many are there now? Just exchange tens of thousands of gold is a few million, which is much higher than your previous income, what is not satisfied? Why do you want so much money, for a funeral? It's enough. ”

"Why am I so awkward to hear you say this?" Liu Feng looked at Xueba, "But thank you, I'm in a much better mood now." ”

"Okay, do you have time to go shopping with me tomorrow? There should be a lot of good books in Luoyang, maybe even the Great Confucian annotated version. Xueba asked excitedly.

"I guess not, you'd better look for Xiao Ling'er!" Liu Feng shook his head.

"Then why are you going tomorrow?" Xueba asked.

"Wait for the emperor to summon it, the promotion must be announced in the court!" Liu Feng said, "It is estimated that the emperor will send someone to confirm the situation, we can't stay for a few days, if you want to go, hurry up, I don't know how long Luoyang will be prosperous!" ”

"Yes, it's a pity to destroy such a majestic city." Xueba muttered. She studied ancient literature and was very interested in ancient cities and antiquities.

……

Above the court, the ministers are still making money for the new military captains, and the various forces representing different interests are arguing.

And Liu Hong, who had been reminded by Liu Feng, had already made a decision, watching them argue like watching a play. It wasn't until someone found out that they had been arguing for a long time, ignoring the existence of the emperor, and hurriedly reminded everyone that the argument gradually subsided.

"What's the matter, Zhuqing's family continues, I think it's very interesting!" Seeing that everyone stopped, Liu Hong said with a smile.

"The courtiers are rude. Your Majesty forgives your sins! Everyone said in unison.

"Isn't it just a few new cadet captains, and it's worth arguing with you like this? Just disperse, right? Liu Hong's face changed.

"Your Majesty, no!" He Jin responded, "Now that the five schools of the Northern Army have almost lost everything, they can't afford to protect the imperial capital, and it is the right time to prepare for the establishment of a new army, and we must not stop because of some disputes." ”

Before Liu Hong planned to build a new army, there was another important purpose, that is, to divide He Jin's military power, He Jin knew this, but he did not stop it. He knew that, no matter what, as long as His Majesty died, this new army would be in his pocket. Jian Shuo's command of the army is nothing but a joke.

But his poor IQ would never have imagined that he was just making wedding clothes for others.

"Your Majesty, the ministers dare not speak falsely!" Establish a new army, then there are positions waiting for them to arrange, and the ministers don't want the emperor to change his mind, no matter what, let's build it up with the emperor first, and then operate it later.

"Hmph, a trivial matter, arguing for so long, how much trouble is saved earlier?" Liu Hong said coldly.

Early like this? Earlier, no one knew that you would break up in two and say that you would break up, after all, everyone can guess your purpose, and you have a spectrum in your heart. In case of opposition this time, the matter of building a new army will really be yellowed, and it will not be scolded to death.

The courtiers standing below all thought so.

"Cao Cao, Captain of the Dian Army, Zhao Rong, Captain of the Left Army, Feng Fang, Captain of the Right Army, Xia Mou, Captain of the Left, and Chun Yuqiong, Captain of the Right Army." Liu Hong looked at the expectant crowd and said slowly, "Those who are in the court will quickly go to work, go to the West Park to find the military captain Jian Shuo to report, and those who are not there will be quickly summoned in writing." Also, continue to recruit 3 million strong men. ”

These people, who have eunuch power, family power, those related to the east and those related to the west, are relatively balanced. The courtiers suddenly found that they couldn't understand the emperor, when did the emperor have such political wisdom.

"By the way, before taking office, let them pay the money first, of course, I will give them a preferential price." Liu Hong continued, "Also, in the future, the expenditure of the Xiyuan New Army will be responsible for the treasury, and I will not pay for it privately. I figured it out, you can't do a loss-making business. ”

This kind of thing is used to talk about it in the court, and there is really no one else.

Other people may not care, anyway, they don't pay for it, but Dasi Nong is different, with a sad face, already thinking about how to increase the income of the treasury. No way, the expenditure of millions of people is not a small amount.

"Okay, if you have any questions, let's discuss it later, I have one more thing, Xuan Zhen's pawn ship is the captain!" Liu Hong gave everyone another "surprise".

When will the magistrate come to the court without going through the Three Princes' Mansion?

"The ministers of Yu Tinghou, the captain of the boat, and Liu Feng, the chief of Yongning, meet Your Majesty." After waiting outside for a long time, Liu Feng waited for the news that he was allowed to enter.

"Let's proclaim the edict!" Liu Hong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.

The edict was read out by Zhang Rang himself, and the content was to praise Liu Feng, and then enter the Marquis of Shangyu Township.

"I don't know why Marquis Liu was promoted?" At the end of the edict, Situ Xu asked on behalf of everyone.

"I'm about to discuss this matter with the secretaries." Liu Hongdao, "This time Zhiyuan entered the court, just to surprise me, Yizhou has been found, I am about to send someone to verify, do you have any suitable people to recommend?" ”

It's not like your style to give people a knighthood before it is confirmed, but since you dare to come, it means that this matter is true nine times out of ten. However, if you are promoted, you will definitely spend money. But even so, it is enough to show that this person has a very high status in His Majesty's heart.

That's what many people think.

"Originally, I said that as long as I find Yizhou and expand the territory for me, I will promote him to be a taishou, but it has not been confirmed yet, and it is not good to be promoted, so I will ask you to choose a suitable person to take a look, so as not to be fooled." Liu Feng said with a smile.

Most of the people present knew Liu Feng's mission, and even if they didn't know, some people simply told them. But there is one thing, everyone knows that the emperor is very concerned about the affairs of Yizhou, and it is even related to his nickname after his death.

The general, the three princes and the nine kings discussed together for a while, and then Xu Xiang replied on behalf of everyone: "In the opinion of the ministers, Yizhou is far overseas, and there are more legends of Yizhou in the southeast, so this candidate is still better in Yangzhou." Shang Shulang Shengxian, a person who will be an auditor, has been in Beijing for several years, assisting His Majesty in governance, and is quite praised, which can be described as the best candidate. ”

"Sheng Xian? Damn, how did you blow this guy up. But it's good to get acquainted, or it may help the situation of the meeting. Liu Feng, who automatically shrank in a corner after finishing the matter, said secretly.

"Well, let's take Shangshulang Shengxian as the main one, and Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng as the deputy, and go with the captain of the ship to confirm the situation. Once confirmed, return quickly. Liu Hong thought for a moment and said.

He naturally knew what was going on, and sending two people also meant to supervise each other, and what happened to the province at that time.

"Zhiyuan, you should go back quickly this time, don't delay, as long as what you say is true, I will not hesitate to reward." Liu Hong looked at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng knew that this was for others, so he said respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare to hide it, everything will be confirmed by Sheng Shangshu and Zuo Gonggong." ”

"Well, that's good." Liu Hong nodded, and then looked at the ministers, "Is there anything else, if not, it will be dispersed, hurry up and execute it." ”

"Chen Liu Yan has something to do." Under Liu Feng's gaze, a man about fifty years old walked out.

"Too often Liu Yan? Could it be that thing is going to happen right under my nose? Liu Feng was faintly excited in his heart, this was a fire that added to the future turmoil.

"Well, let's talk about it!" Liu Hong frowned, thought about it for a while, and allowed Liu Yan to speak.

"Now the Quartet is restless and rebellions are frequent, and a big reason is that the authority of the Ministry of Assassins is too small and the power is too light to mobilize the power of a state. And once it is used inhuman, it increases the local riots. Therefore, the minister implored His Majesty to withdraw the assassination of the history department, change the state pastor, and elect the famous and important ministers to be the pastor, and calm the place. Liu Yan said in a deep voice.

The hall fell silent, silent.

Almost everyone present knew that the state pastor was placed by Wang Mang to suppress the rebel army, and it has been abolished since Zhongxing, what does Liu Yan mean by mentioning it again? Does he think that the current situation can be compared to the time of Wang Mang?

Liu Hong didn't speak for a long time, which made Liu Feng very boring. It's just such a simple sentence in the history books, and you can think about it with your ass to know that it can't be settled in one or two sentences.

"I know, this matter is very important, all the ministers will go back and think about it, and then talk about it next time, and withdraw from the court." Liu Hong got up and left, leaving everyone stunned. (To be continued.) )
