When Qin Feng and his group arrived at Luoyang, it was already three days later.
Because Zhu Rong and Huangfu Song wanted to bring the soldiers back to the barracks to settle down, Qin Feng brought Hua Mulan and a few personal guards into Luoyang City after they agreed to go to the palace together the next morning.
To be honest, he was used to seeing the prosperous metropolis of the later generations. In Qin Feng's eyes, Luoyang was no different from a small county.
Furthermore,
It was a small county with a relatively backward economy.
"My lord, is this the capital? It's really big!"
Compared to Qin Feng's indifference, the two bodyguards who followed him looked like they were making a fuss over nothing.
Dian Wei was better off. This guy didn't talk much, and even if he was a little surprised, he kept it to himself.
However, Hua Mulan couldn't do it. She looked left and right along the way and kept chattering.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
In history, Hua Mulan had lived in a small town since she was young. Later on, when she grew up, she had been fighting wars. When had she ever seen such a big city during peaceful times?
"Hehe, Mulan, if you like it, we can stay here for a few more days.”
He randomly found an inn on the street and booked an entire courtyard. Qin Feng smiled and said,
"You'll be responsible for spending money in Luoyang these days. Buy whatever you need. When you return to Youzhou Province, you won't be able to buy anything even if you want to.”
"What? Buying something?"
Hua Mulan was a little conflicted. After hesitating for a moment, she said weakly,"
"My lord, I, I haven't really bought anything.”
"It's okay. As long as you think you need anything in the future, just buy it!”
Pointing at the boxes piled up in the corner of the courtyard, Qin Feng's face was filled with the smile of a nouveau riche.
"We have nothing but money!”
……
After sending Hua Mulan out for a shopping spree, Qin Feng waited in the inn for about an hour. Zuo Feng, who was dressed in casual clothes, appeared in front of him on time.
"Haha, Lord Zuo has finally arrived.”
? Seeing Zuo Feng appear, Qin Feng wasn't the slightest bit surprised and went up to him with a smile.
"Hehe, it's rare that General Pingdong still remembers us!”
Zuo Feng, who was pinching the orchid fingers, had a bright smile on his face.
Although he failed to take down Lu Zhi, the Spirit Monarch was obviously annoyed with that old fellow. He didn't even give him a chance to meet him and directly sent him to the imperial prison.
The Spirit Monarch felt even more indebted to General Pingdong, who had suffered injustice but still helped him to quell the Yellow Turban bandits. He often expressed the intention of continuing to promote him.
After all, in the eyes of the Spirit Monarch Liu Hong, a third-grade Pingdong General who did not have any real power could not be compared to the credit of eliminating the Yellow Turbans.
However,
When Qin Feng stated his request, Zuo Feng's expression immediately changed.
"What?"
"You want the Mayor of Shanggu County?"
"Are you crazy?"
Looking at Qin Feng in disbelief, Zuo Feng's face was filled with anger.
"With such a great contribution, why not come directly to the capital?”
"You actually want a prefect, and a prefect of a cold and bitter place like Youzhou!”
"You, you're infuriating me…"
Looking at Zuo Feng's furious expression, Qin Feng did not say anything and directly placed a box of gold ingots on the table.
"Lord Zuo, let me tell you the truth.”
"Qin Feng is a soldier and doesn't want to get involved in those messy matters. It's our duty as soldiers to guard the border for the Great Han.”
"So, I wonder if Lord Zuo can make it convenient?”
"This…"
The anger in his stomach seemed to have been dispelled by the box of gold ingots. Zuo Feng sighed and closed the box.
"Mr. Qin, don't worry."
"With your contributions, not to mention a prefect, as long as you are willing, it is not impossible for you to become a provincial governor.”
"Provincial governor?"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up, but he shook his head.
"I know my own abilities. A county is already big enough. Any bigger and I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything.”
"That's true!"
Seeing that he could not get more gold ingots from Qin Feng, Zuo Feng smacked his lips in pity. After signaling for people to carry the box out, he smiled and said goodbye,
"Mr. Qin, I'll be leaving first. Don't forget to meet His Majesty tomorrow morning.”
"Lord Zuo, take care!"
After sending Zuo Feng out with a smile, Qin Feng returned to his room and sighed with pity.
He was still not poor!
If he had enough money, he would have asked Zuo Feng to help him get the provincial governor without hesitation.
For now, although the provincial governor could not be considered a person with real power, it would be awesome if he were to directly become a prefecture governor in the future.
However…
Poor!
Other than the money he used to purchase various supplies, he could only take out two thousand gold taels.
A prefect of a bitter and cold place,
With his contribution and 500 gold taels, it would definitely not be a problem for him to take it down.
The governor of a state,
Even with his contribution, he would not be able to earn more than three to five thousand gold taels!
This was under the condition that no one was competing.
Five thousand taels of gold.
Indeed, he could.
However, in this case, when they returned to the place, they would not even be able to spend the salary of the soldiers, let alone anything else.
"Why?"
"Why am I so poor?"
Qin Feng, who had been showing off his wealth earlier, felt his old face burning.
Don't act tough, act tough and you'll be struck by lightning!
The ancients did not deceive me
