"Is it all his?"

After being silent for a long time, Cao Hong raised his head and asked again, and after getting Yang Nan's nod and reply, the originally lively drinking atmosphere in the tent was broken.

Everyone felt as uncomfortable as if they had drunk fake wine, and the wine and food in their hands were no longer fragrant.

How else can you do that?

How much land and real estate did he buy, and how many mansions did he want inside and outside the county.

You must know that before the news of Xuchang, the capital of the Son of Heaven, was announced, many people here were not optimistic about the war, and they had long wanted to take refuge in a safer place.

These properties can't be sold, because every family with money will be the first to exchange for food, because if it was bought by people before, it would either be fearless of war or gamble.

Zhang Bochang must have expected it a long time ago.

Why can't we think of it?

The generals in the tent looked at each other blankly, and their faces were a little uncomfortable.

Cao Hong patted his head, a little helpless, looked up at Yang Yang and said, "You said, half of the East Shili Pavilion was bought by Zhang Han, so what about the other half?" ”

Yang Yan spread his hands and said helplessly: "The other half was bought by the eldest prince." ”

Cao Hong's face turned cold.

This Han didn't think of me at all! I have always treated him as a brother in Xuzhou, Cao Hongxin said.

After thinking about it, he raised his head a little impatiently, and asked Yang Yan: "Then, have you sent someone to discuss with Bo Chang?" ”

"Go," Yang Yan walked in front of him and squatted down, "I'm not coming back, he said that we are not equal, it is easy to make a mistake in such a way, so please ask the general to say it himself." ”

"Harm," Cao Hong patted his thigh, his stocky body stood up suddenly, and asked Yang Yan to bring two jars of good wine, "Let's go, without further ado, let's go discuss it now, maybe he still has some ideas." ”

Cao Hong didn't like Zhang Han before, but since he taught Xuzhou how to search for those Confucian scholars, he was impressed by Zhang Han.

Now that the matter has fallen to him, it is indeed time to go to him personally.

Not long after, Cao Hong came to Zhang Han's mansion to pay a visit, and many people gathered here at this time, which should be a celebration banquet, which was very lively.

Guo Fengxiao and Xi Zhicai are impressively listed, except for the two of them, there are many old faces.

For example, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others who followed Zhang Han in Xuzhou at the beginning, and Zhang Liao, who later returned to his eldest brother.

When he entered the courtyard, he walked through the stone bridge of the river courtyard, stepped on the bluestone road and went straight to the hall house, the floor of the house was all wooden, quite elegant style, and the house was very large, the courtyard was accessible, and a lot of vegetation was planted in the corner of the courtyard, mostly bamboo.

Walking to the door, Cao Hong was suddenly a little confused, Zhang Bochang actually lived so well, this mansion looked like a courtyard left by the big family and recently repaired.

Alas, the previous money was spent in the dog's belly, and it was a mistake.

After a while, Zhang Han came out from inside and pulled Cao Hong inside to say, "Uncle Zilian! Today is a celebration feast, knowing that you are now busy supervising the construction, so you have not been invited, forgive your sins. ”

"No need, Bo Chang, I have something to look for you," Cao Hong glanced inside, his eyes signaled, it was regarded as a greeting, the relationship between the people here and him was not very good, so there was no need to make it up.

Besides, his camp was also celebrating the banquet, Cao Hong also drank wine, and when he saw the main owner, Cao Hong asked Zhang Han about the mansion on the spot.

"Ziyu and I did buy these real estate mansions before, because we considered that when we welcomed the Son of Heaven to the hinterland in the future, everything would definitely be expensive."

"I just want to be in this place in Xu County, take advantage of the cheap and easy to collect, buy some casually, and buy more and more money when I have extra money in the future, I don't need to say much about how rich I am......"

That's the eldest son, the family's money is piled up, and it is not considered to be money earned, that is, if you make meritorious service, you can take a little, and you can take it if you make meritorious service, and you can take it more.

After more than that, in addition to inviting Zhang Han to drink wine and eat meat, and hold a banquet, most of the rest were used to buy these.

Now, basically, the two of them have a small half of the fields that can be bought and sold in Xu County.

Most of the rest are also brothers from the guard camp, Gao Shun and Dian Wei.

But Dian Wei was a little "strange" arrogant, he had a flash of inspiration, and directly sold the mansion a few days ago, preparing to make a sweaty BMW by himself, and then the buyer was Sun Qian.

I made twice as much money, and today I was even so happy that I bought a good wine to drink freely.

"Hmm...... So, how do you think you should discuss this mansion now? ”

"Uncle," Zhang Han stretched out his hand and motioned for Ji Boxiao to go to the house and get a bottle of wine, handed it to him, and said softly: "You just have to supervise the construction, these mansions don't have to be moved, and when some side-by-side mansions are built on the surrounding land, I will buy them and give you a few mansions." ”

"Tomorrow, I will ask Bo Xiao to send a box of gold cakes to your house, these are gifts, and they don't have to be shared under the account."

"Hmm, I'll go and talk to Ziyu again, it's all my own family, what's there to discuss, right? The original mansion could be rebuilt and expanded, as long as it was flush with the construction of the capital. ”

"As for the land, when the princes' tributes arrive, when the compensation is allocated, you can actually ask for more, do you understand this section?"

Cao Hong listened to the previous paragraph very comfortably, and I don't know if he was drunk or what, the more he looked at Zhang Han, the more handsome he became, this kid was really good at things.

The money is generously given.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was right, and this money was not his hard-earned money, as if his eyes were closed and opened, and the money itself gave birth to more than ten times more money.

Generous, of course.

But his last words made Cao Hong guess for a while, and asked with a smile: "What does Bo Chang mean?" How are you going to arrange this money when it's going to come down? ”

Zhang Han pulled him aside, and the two faced the moonlit landscape of the pond, standing side by side under the moon, Zhang Han said: "In the past, outsiders always criticized you and me for loving money like life and being greedy by nature. ”

"It's really those people who speculated and maliciously slandered, and even gave our advisers a drunken and wealthy nickname, which is really hateful."

"Not bad!" Cao Hong's cheeks bulged slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Han continued: "Just like this time, you and I are collecting money and occupying land, and it stands to reason that if this matter is found out, we will definitely be punished by the lord, but why has it not been stopped?" ”

"Could it be that the lord really favors me so much?"

Isn't it??

Cao Hong glanced at him and felt that Zhang Han was thinking a little too much, if it weren't for the lord's preference, you would have been beaten up a long time ago.

I don't know how many people in my battalion want to fight you alone!

even attacked them en masse, but they endured it.

"Otherwise because of what?" Cao Hong glanced at him, and there was a slight envy in his tone.

The eldest brother takes a lot of care of the juniors, especially Cao Ang and Zhang Han, but they are very strict with their clan brothers, but no one complains about this.

Because the soldiers and horses were divided among the clansmen, they both knew that they were the ones who were really relied on, but their own brothers.

Zhang Han was stunned and continued to be kind and seductive, "Since Zi Yu also did it, the lord must also know." ”

"He knows, but he doesn't stop me because he sees the benefits of this verse, and we don't do it for money."

Zhang Han Zhengyi Ling Ran, glanced at the side of the moon, as if he was quite stylish, and said with a smile: "It's a layout plan." ”

"Planning?"

Cao Hong's eyes lit up thoughtfully, and after a moment, "You mean that you want to pay tribute to the princes with a high amount of compensation, so that the princes can't save money?" ”

"Ha," Zhang Han suddenly smiled, "Yes, that's right, and now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all occupied by the factions of those ministers and ministers, but they have no soldiers, so they don't dare to dictate to us, but the tributes of the princes, as long as they receive the official positions sealed by the Son of Heaven, will definitely be sent." ”

"If you don't send it, you can rebel against it, remote places such as Yizhou and Liangzhou may not be able to, but those people in Jiyou, Huainan, and Jingzhou will definitely pay tribute," Zhang Han grabbed Cao Hong's arm, "Once the money is in the treasury, the secretary will have surplus food, and he can recruit troops and horses, and in the name of guarding the imperial city, he will continue to grow, brother, do you really give these tributes to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Cao Hong breathed a deep sigh of relief and said: "This is using money and wealth to let the scholars buy soldiers and horses to mess with my rear, and after a long time, we will definitely suffer from the enemy on our backs, but we will be in chaos." ”

"Yes, in this case, we have two wonderful uses for hollowing out the ministers with compensation land, one is that if they are unwilling, they can lead the people to resentment, and then they can only be removed and replaced if they are not virtuous in office; Second, if they pay compensation, the money can secretly flow into the hands of me and Ziyu, and then it will go into the pocket of the Cao family? ”

"They are all officials, and they understand that the prestige of His Majesty is extremely important now, and the lord does not compete with them for official positions, so that the princes of Gongon will definitely be more disgraceful and will not give us the slightest chance to criticize. Therefore, I expect that they will make Shang Shutai prepare an edict to pay compensation, so as to reassure the people and prosper the capital. ”

"This money is divided into three parts, one is naturally to compensate me and my son, as well as many landowners; the second transfer to my righteousness and my father-in-law, which can be used by Yanzhou and Xuzhou soldiers and horses; The third share was given to Uncle Zilian...... Uncle Zixiao, these clan generals took it to the army, so it is best to let them move their own bones as much as they want......"

"It is also good for these ministers who are usually high-ranking to understand that the times have changed, and the era of living in temples without knowing the people's feelings, and ordering at will to make them pass, is gone forever."

"Good plan."

Cao Hong laughed, he knew why he was so pleasing to the eye when he saw Zhang Han, this kid has a lot of ideas, and he will come again.

is such a clever and cunning man, he is clearly making money, and he is so open-minded, and he has the eldest brother behind his back, even if the incident happens, he will not be punished in the future.

At most, his reputation was ruined, and he was accused of being greedy and greedy, but he didn't care about these infamy.

Cao Ying has a few advisers, and the wine and wealth are all stained, who cares about the evaluation of scholars and Confucian scholars?!

These are profligate, heroic and amorous madmen, in short, they are all old yinbi.

Zhang Han is a small silver coin because he is still young.

Moreover, those ministers, as soon as they arrived in Xudu, after being resettled a little, they wanted to fight for power and profit, and they wanted to kick them farther.

There are still many people who are looking forward to the Yuan family coming to Xu Du to take over, I really don't know what year it is, Cao Hong has long looked at them unpleasantly.

"Good nephew, uncle understands, you can't grasp this matter, uncle will do it, just do what you say!" Cao Hong grabbed the back of Zhang Han's hand with his backhand and patted it heavily.

After filming, I still feel that my palms are hot and painful.

This kid has such hard bones and flesh.

……

In the second half of the celebration banquet, the rest of the guests in the army had already left, Gao Shun did not drink, only drank water, so he also arranged to patrol the guards in the front yard.

After finally sending a carriage to send away Xu Huang and Chen Qun, Zhang Han was almost awake, and there was some heat left by the drink.

Then together with Guo Jia and Dian Wei, he watched the sacrificial wine in the courtyard and performed his interrogation swordsmanship.

They are all used to it, but fortunately there is no well in this courtyard, and they will fall down when they "ask the sword and ask the heavens".

Zhang Han also chanted a poem, "Decline Lan sends friends to Xu Dudao, if there is love in the sky, the sky is old", was blatantly plagiarized by Xi Zhicai, and when he chanted this sentence, he would fall to the ground, and then was helped by Dian Wei to find a room to sleep in.

Guo Jia drank very well, and sat on the ground under the corridor with Zhang Han, unscrupulous and chatting freely.

At this time, Sun Qian and the others were busy sending off guests, and the two had a chance to have a deep chat.

Guo Jia mentioned something that caught Zhang Han's attention, "The built-in hundred officials are indisputable, but the news of the imperial city is indispensable." ”

Zhang Han sat up suddenly, and said with a slight smile on his eyebrows: "Your idea is excellent!" There should be a special subordinate to the lord to supervise the hundred officials, so that there can be a clamp between each other. ”

"Oh, that's right," Guo Jia chuckled, this is the so-called hero's vision, "But this matter can't be proposed for the time being, it must be secretly planned, the main and secondary officials should be selected, and the secret sentinel skills should be cultivated, and the opportunity will be achieved overnight." ”

"With such a dark sentinel force, and then reopening Dali Temple, you can firmly control the security in the city, and I am already thinking about how to set up the structure......

"It's worthy of you," Zhang Han said sincerely, after he came, he really relieved a lot of the burden of sacrificial wine.

"Heh, why should you and I praise each other," Guo Jia looked proud, but he was still more useful.

But then I couldn't help but think that the relationship between their advisers could be so harmonious, which was quite amazing.

Or is it the same smell?

So, I couldn't help but think of the comment that was not widely circulated.

"Uncle Zhang is often not drunk with a thousand cups, and likes to have a wine banquet and talk happily; Guo Fengxiao is a lustful person, and he never lets go of flowers; The drama Zhicai is all stained with wine, and there is no foreign wealth on his body, and the distribution of the money must be used to repay the money, and the wealth will be exhausted. ”

"Well......" Zhang Han listened with a smile, sighed deeply, and said quietly: "Then, Mr. Wenruo will be so angry with us that he will be ashamed of us!" ”

"Hahaha!!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, everyone was a talented person, and they figured out an excellent reason to pull Xun Yu to the "qi" link.

He burst out laughing.

……

In July, the busy farming season has long passed, and this year a lot of land has been reclaimed, and the climate is suitable, not dry or moist, and it is reflecting the appearance of a bumper harvest.

After Cao Hong ran several times, most of the expansion of the capital had been completed, and the wealth and officials who had paid the people were calculated and put on the table of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, the princes who were edicted also sent envoys to send tribute, and ordered officials to come to the court to pay respects.

Shang Shutai and Yu Shitai were all busy with this matter, and Taiwei Yang Biao, Tai Servant Han Rong, and Dasi Nong Zhu Jun learned that their heads were all big.

It is estimated that if these indemnities are to be allocated, the money and grain obtained from the tribute are only enough for eighty percent, which also includes the tributes from Yanzhou and Xuzhou sent by Cao Cao.

Because the construction of palaces, inner cities, outer cities, and all kinds of city gates is full of expenses.

Almost all night after discussion, arguing endlessly, but still unable to make a decision.

If the remaining two percent think about Cao Cao's opening again, they will definitely be a head shorter in the future, and those who are sent to visit the people know that the people's grievances are boiling, and the laborers are dissatisfied.

This is already dissatisfied, once forcibly expelled and forcibly occupied and returned to the Han, it may cause further changes...... Where can it withstand the resentment of the people now?

At this point, they could only agree to recalculate the various expenditures.

The tributes from Jizhou, Youzhou, and Jingzhou had just arrived, and they had just been counted, and they were gone.

If you want it again, you still have to wait for next year, and in the next few days, how to maintain the spending of a country?

I'm afraid I have to rely on, Cao Gong......
