"Of course I know!"
When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately bowed slightly and said,"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The new delicacies in the palace and the winter woolen clothes were all made by the Luo family of the Yin Mansion!”
"The person in charge of the Yin Mansion's Luo family is Luo Xuan!”
"I heard that this child is only 16 years old, but he is already quite famous in Bing Province!”
"Moreover, this child is a divine doctor!”
Zhang Rang naturally knew Luo Xuan.
This was because, in the past few years, Luo Xuan had done a lot of business with the eunuch gang led by Zhang Rang in secret!
Especially the business in the palace, it was very easy to make money!
Of course, Luo Xuan's secret dealings with Zhang Rang and the others weren't mainly to earn money, but to befriend Zhang Rang and the others.
Then, when it was necessary, these eunuchs would not help him, but he would be satisfied as long as they did not cause him any trouble!
After all, his foundation was still a little shallow.
Especially in the officialdom and the court.
He was confident that he could make contributions, but it did not mean that he would be rewarded!
You need someone to help you in court!
Of course, the people he traded with were far from just the eunuchs. Many of the aristocratic families were the main ones.
What he did in the past was to bring everyone together to earn money and build a good relationship.
Then, he hoped that these people would not cause trouble at the critical moment.
As for whether they would be friends or foes in the future?
That would depend on the other party's thoughts and Luo Xuan's own.
Times had changed, and nothing remained unchanged.
"Oh?"
When Liu Hong heard this, he was slightly surprised. This kid was actually an all-rounder!
Lu Zhi had described in detail his bravery, agility, and outstanding achievements in the fight against the rebellion in Jizhou!
Even Zhang Jiao was beheaded by this person.
When Zhang Rang mentioned it, Liu Hong vaguely remembered Luo Xuan.
Back then, when woolen clothes and the delicacies of Immortals Gathering Tower first appeared in the imperial palace, Liu Hong was very happy for a period of time.
Even now, he was still enjoying the benefits every day!
"I remember that this person's ancestor was a border general of the Northern Region, right? What's the current situation at home?"
Liu Hong pondered and asked Zhang Rang.
When Zhang Rang saw this, he thought to himself, This Luo Xuan is probably going to take off.
He didn't mind giving Luo Xuan a favor and secretly pushing him. When the time came, he would have to make Luo Xuan give him more benefits.
Therefore, he immediately replied,"Your Majesty! Currently, Luo Xuan was the only one left in the Luo family! The rest were servants and retainers.”
"Hmm?"
Liu Hong was surprised.
Even in such a situation, Luo Xuan could still revive the Luo family?
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the matter of Xia Yu and the others trying to escape punishment in the sixth year of Xi Ping?" Zhang Rang continued.”
Liu Hong frowned and nodded.""Of course I know!"
Actually, it couldn't be said that he was bewitched!
At that time, Liu Hong also wanted to make some achievements and become a wise emperor to save the Great Han Dynasty from its decline.
Was there anything else that could better demonstrate his sagacity than opening up territory and pacifying foreign aggression?
However, he had underestimated the Xianbei and also underestimated the power of the Shi clan to do bad things. He had overestimated the strength of Xia Yu and his group of idiots.
This caused the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north to be defeated and suffer heavy casualties.
Not only did they fail to weaken the Xianbei, but they also greatly weakened the strength of the Great Han in the north!
Liu Hong rolled his eyes and asked Zhang Rang indifferently,""Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Could it be that this matter was related to Luo Xuan? He was still a child at that time, right?"
"Indeed! However, there is also a huge connection between them. Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let me explain slowly!”
Zhang Rang nodded, indicating for Liu Hong to calm down. He continued,"That Luo Xuan's grandfather and father were deputy generals in the frontier fortress of Yanmen Prefecture. His two uncles also held positions in the frontier fortress army!”
"In the end, they all died in that defeat!”
"After that, his grandmother and mother died of grief not long after! The Luo family had completely declined! Until…"
" A year later, Luo Xuan appeared out of nowhere as a child prodigy. He fiddled with the delicacies and woolen clothes of the Immortals Gathering Restaurant…Wait,"
"With the help of the Yin Mansion's Luo family, in-laws, Gu family, and some old friends of Yanmen, they gradually got out of their predicament. Under Luo Xuan's management, they became a famous merchant in the thirteen provinces of the Great Han Dynasty!”
Zhang Rang was very familiar with the Luo family.
Obviously, he had done his research.
The only thing he didn't know was the secret Luo family army, the secret guards, and the secret recipe of the Luo family.
"Not simple! Not simple!"
When Liu Hong heard this, he was also amazed.
When the family was in an absolute predicament, Luo Xuan could rely on his own strength to form alliances and use business interests as a link to develop the family to its current state.
This made Liu Hong, who was also in a difficult situation and wanted to revive the burly man in his hands, have a good impression of Luo Xuan.
This was a talent!
More importantly, Liu Hong could tell from Zhang Rang's words that the Luo family was already a declining Humble Aristocratic Family, not on the same path as the Yuan family.
The only identity that he had that was presentable was the disciple of Lu Zhi and the great scholar Cai Yong, as well as Cai Yong's future son-in-law.
It had nothing to do with those aristocratic families.
As for Lu Zhi?
Actually, he was not on the same side as the Yuan family and was the target of ostracization, so it did not affect him much.
"Father, how do you think we should reward Luo Xuan? After all, he had made a great contribution this time. Not only did he turn the situation around in the Jizhou battlefield, but he had also killed Zhang Jiao! I have to reward him well!"
Liu Hong asked.
He already had the thought of placing Luo Xuan in an important position and setting him as the benchmark of the Humble Class!
He wanted to use Luo Xuan as an example to tell the people of the world.
He, Liu Hong, was a wise ruler who was good at recruiting talents and dared to recruit talents.
Those with ambition and ability, come quickly!
At the same time, he also wanted to use this opportunity to divide the gentry and establish a faction of the lesser gentry to balance the greater gentry, as well as the somewhat inflated consorts He Jin and the somewhat arrogant eunuchs.
Only when his enemies started fighting with each other could he, as the emperor, relax and take advantage of it. Only then would he have the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty!
