Wenmin heard that the ancient ministers were in the court before dawn, compared to the current "public servants" from nine to five in the morning are much more industrious, so at four o'clock in the morning rushed to the palace gate to wait, but what made him feel strange is that at this time the gate of the palace was closed, there was no one, he waited until more than six o'clock, when the sun had risen, only to see that there were ministers arrived one after another, and waited for more than three hours, it was already more than nine o'clock, said three poles, and finally someone opened the city gate, Let the ministers go to the court, of course, at this time, Wenmin is still not qualified to enter, he must wait until the summons.

After waiting for an hour again, Wenmin waited for the flowers to thank him, and finally a small yellow door came out and asked him to go in to meet Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Wenmin went in and found that the court hall of the Han Dynasty was completely different from that in the Qing palace drama of later generations, the ministers here can all sit on the court, and only come out when there is something to report, and sometimes even report directly from the seat, well, the ministers of the Han Dynasty have more human rights than the ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

After Wenmin walked into the court, Huangfu Song stood up and reported to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, although the mayor of Yunze Town is an outsider, the population in his territory is all our aborigines. When the old minister was besieged in Changshe, it was also his plan and with his great help, the old man was able to use fire to completely annihilate the billions of Yellow Turban Army, and in this battle, he also killed the enemy commander Bo Cai, so that the enemy army completely collapsed. not only saved the lives of the old minister and the soldiers under his command, but also enabled our imperial army to counterattack the Yellow Turban thieves from now on; Then in the battle of Wancheng, he not only sacrificed his plan to break the enemy, but also led his elite to seize the city gate and resist the attack of thousands of times their enemy, if it were not for the stubborn persistence of the Yunze army, we would not have been able to break through Wancheng in such a short time; Then in the Battle of Quyang, it was he who offered a plan to make the enemy take it lightly, lured the enemy out of the city, not only annihilated Zhang Bao's troops, but also killed the enemy chief Zhang Bao; Until the time of the battle of Guangzong, he was ordered to be in danger, and served as the commander of the army when the rebellion army was defeated again and again, and soon after taking office, he completely reversed the situation of the rebellion, and annihilated the elite of the Yellow Turban Army of more than 400 million under the thief Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang himself in one fell swoop, and then designed to annihilate the last elite of the Yellow Turban thieves, attacked Guangzong in one fell swoop, killed Zhang Jiao, and completely quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In this rebellion, Mayor Wen can be said to be the first hero to quell the turmoil! I beg Your Majesty to reward him heavily, so that it will go to the hearts of all outsiders!"

Wenmin listened to Huangfu Song's words, and couldn't wait to hug this cute old man's head and kiss it fiercely, it was really interesting.

But before the Wenmin was excited for long, he saw the dead fat man Dong Zhuo stand up and play: "Your Majesty, those outsiders are unbearable to educate, regardless of monarchs and ministers, ambitious, and ill-intentioned, we should be careful to guard against it. Therefore, the minister thought that it was not appropriate to reward him now, and he should observe and test him for a while, and wait until he was sure of his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and it was not too late to double the compensation to him. ”

Hearing Dong Fatzi's words, Wenmin was about to scold his mother, this guy is so annoying, no wonder all the princes in the world will crusade against him later, if this drags on, it will definitely be over in the future. But fortunately, due to the outstanding performance of the Wenmin in this battle, there are still many people who value him, and I saw Zhu Jun stand up and play: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are many outsiders in our Han territory now, and they have many advantages compared to our aborigines, although their current strength is not very strong, but I believe that it will not be long before they will become a force to be reckoned with." Moreover, in those barbarian lands outside the territory of our Great Han, there are also more outsiders, and it is likely that we will have to use their strength to deal with the invasion of the barbarians, so now we should reward the mayor of Yunze Town, so as to set an example, so that all outsiders in the world are willing to serve our Great Han! ”

After hearing this, Emperor Han Ling yawned and said in a lazy tone: "This reward, this time the establishment of the literati has made a great contribution, and it is really unreasonable not to reward it." I heard that his territory was in Yunmengze, so I named him Yunze Tinghou, and the fief was Yunmengze, Jin Ping Zhonglang General (four products), and led Wuling Taishou. ”

Wenmin didn't expect Emperor Han Ling to be so refreshing, and directly canonized himself, although the canonized official position is much different from that of Huangfu Song's Huaili Hou in history, the general of the left chariot, and the leader of Jizhou, but after all, Huangfu Song is also an old minister, and at the same time he is also a famous man in the world, and he is just an outsider, no matter how strong his subordinates are, in the eyes of these families, they are just civilians, in this era of attaching importance to their origins, it is already very good to be able to give these rewards to themselves.

But before Wenmin was happy for a while, he heard Emperor Han Ling say again: "However, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled this time, the expenses of the imperial court were also very huge, Wenmin, since you have accepted the canonization and have become a courtier of the Han Dynasty, you have to relieve the worries of the imperial court, so I ask you to pay a tribute of one million taels of gold to the imperial court every year in the future, are you willing?" ”

"Holy! - "Wen Min couldn't help but burst out in his heart when he heard this, no wonder Emperor Han Ling was called the number one giant greed in history by later generations, how beautiful do you see his hands? Not only gave a reward, but also talked about a big deal by the way, if you refused, not only is it equivalent to giving up the reward, but also to have a bad relationship with the Han court, so you have to accept it, no wonder some people in later generations called him a businessman.

As for this "reasonable" request of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song and they can't speak for the Wenmin, because they know that this emperor is the most greedy for money, and if he prevents him from getting rich, not only will he be hated by him, but also will affect the Wenmin, so they can only stand by now.

The only currency in the game is copper coins, and gold, silver, cloth, etc. are equivalent to a kind of treasure, which needs to be purchased or collected by themselves, so it is more precious, now a tael of gold is worth about twenty or thirty thousand copper coins, and ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred million copper coins, and the literati are equivalent to giving Emperor Han Ling two or three billion copper coins every year! This requires him to prepare nearly 100 million copper coins for Emperor Han Ling every day, and now all his territories add up to just over 10 million yuan per day, where to get tens of billions of copper coins for him?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Wenmin finally gritted his teeth and agreed, now these official positions are very important to him, so that he can really have the capital to compete with the NPC princes, as for those astronomical copper coins, it will be a year later, who knows what will happen in a year? If there is really no way to do it, it is a big deal to sell some earth milk.

After Emperor Han Ling saw that Wenmin finally agreed, he smiled with relief and said: "Okay, I know that you are different from other outsiders, you are still very loyal, and I hope that other ministers will also learn more from Yun Zehou, share their worries for me, and retreat from the dynasty!" ”

Emperor Han Ling was satisfied with the palace maid to the harem to continue to spend time drinking, when Wenmin walked out of the court, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and others found him and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Yunze for joining the official and honoring the ancestors!" Yun Zehou can achieve such world-famous feats at a young age, and he will definitely become the pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future! ”

Wen Min smiled bitterly and said to them: "Boss, don't lift me up, I'm worried about the million taels of gold every year." ””

When Huangfu Song heard Wenmin say this, he nodded understandingly, and comforted: "Hey, Your Majesty is not good at this, you love money too much, one million taels of gold a year is too much of a burden for you, but don't worry, anyway, there is still a year to go, during this time, I and you will see if we can find an opportunity for Your Majesty to reduce the amount for you." ”

Wen Min hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you, boss!" I really don't want to levy harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes under my rule in order to fulfill Your Majesty's task, so that the people under my rule will not be able to make a living. ”

After accepting Wenmin's thanks, Huangfu Song introduced a person beside Wenmin: "This is the world's famous Confucian, Cai Bojiao." ”

Then the old man said to Wenmin: "Old man Cai Yong congratulates Yun Zehou on his ascension!" ”

When he first heard about Cai Bojiao, Wenmin hadn't reacted yet, but now when he heard this old man calling himself Cai Yong, Wenmin suddenly remembered, this is the famous Confucian Cai Yong in the late Han Dynasty, and his more famous identity is the father of Cai Wenji, a talented woman through the ages!

Wenmin hurriedly saluted him and said: "The kid has seen Mr., Mr. The big name and the boy have long been like thunder, if Mr. is interested, the kid hopes that Mr. can come to my territory to have a look, Mr. Sima Wei, a famous man in Yingchuan, is preaching and teaching in my territory, I believe that Mr. will definitely have a harvest if he goes." ”

In fact, Wenmin sent this invitation completely uneasy and kind, he was completely aimed at other people's daughters, and now Cai Yan mm is just a seven or eight-year-old little Lori, right? must not have been harmed by Wei Zhongdao's kid, so for Cai Yong's daughter not to repeat the mistakes of history and be happy, Wenmin feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Then he suddenly thought that the beauties in the Three Kingdoms did not end well: Diao Chan, one of the "Four Beauties", was completely reduced to a tool of political struggle, and there has been no news since Lu Bu's death; Cai Yan, a "talented woman through the ages", first died her husband, and then was captured into the Huns, and her life was miserable; Both big and small Joe are widows at a young age; "Bow waist Ji" Sun Shangxiang was caught between Wu Shu and was in a dilemma, and finally threw himself into the river and died; Although "Luoshen" Zhen Mi became the queen, she must have regretted that she didn't choose Cao Zhi when she was given death by Cao Pi, right? …… As soon as he thought of this, Wen Min felt that he had a long way to go, and there were too many mm that he needed to save.

(When I wrote this chapter, I checked the information of Cai Yong and Cai Yan, and found that Old Man Cai was 45 years old when he gave birth to Cai Yan!) After checking again, the average life expectancy of people in the Han Dynasty was only more than 20 years old, of course, this was mainly because there were a lot of premature deaths at that time, but the average life expectancy of the emperors of the Han Dynasty was only more than 30 years old, which has to say that Mr. Cai can still bloom at the age of 45, and I have to admire him for "being old and strong"! (To be continued.) )
