In the sixth year of Zhongping, it was cold in spring.
A group of carriages appeared outside the Great Han Capital.
The convoy carried the banner of " Jizhou Provincial Governor Jia " and more than ten four-wheeled carriages lined up in front and behind. Surrounding them were hundreds of cavalry guards, attracting the attention of the nearby commoners.
However, the carriage was covered with cowhide cloth, so it was impossible to see what was on it.
"The convoy of the Jizhou Provincial Governor? It's actually so luxurious?"
"A four-wheeled carriage. It's a high-end carriage that only appeared in the past two years. I heard that many high-ranking officials and nobles want to buy it, but it's frighteningly expensive. Moreover, they have to queue up to customize it.”
"Why are there so many of them?”
"A carriage with two horses is really extravagant!”
"I heard that this kind of carriage doesn't jolt at all. Sitting on it is like sleeping on a bed.”
"Jizhou is indeed worthy of being the richest place in the world!”
"Could the person sitting in the carriage be the governor of Jizhou, Jia Cong?”
Wherever the convoy passed, the commoners whispered to each other, their eyes filled with envy and surprise.
Chen Xiao sat in the first carriage. When she heard the noise outside, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Husband, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to be so high-profile in the capital?”
A pleasant voice came from beside him.
A graceful, elegant, and refined beauty in a palace dress looked at Chen Xiao. There was a trace of doubt and worry on her exquisite and fair face.
" Although our Zhen family has inherited 2,000 stones, since my father passed away, there has been no one in the family to be an official. After all, we are just a family of merchants…"
When Chen Xiao heard this, she gently scratched the woman's delicate nose.
"So what if they are merchants? Are you still afraid that those big shots in the capital will have evil intentions?”
Under the shy and timid gaze of the beauty, he smiled lightly and said,"It's precisely because we're a merchant family that we have to be so high-profile to bring a lot of money into the capital. The more high-profile we are, the safer we are!”
The woman seemed to have understood something." Husband, you mean that the bigger the commotion, the more afraid we will be if there are people with ill intentions?"”
"That's right."
Chen Xiao pinched her cheek in admiration.""So, Jiang 'er, you don't have to worry at all. Since we're already in the capital, we won't have any safety issues. Besides..."
"These ten carriages of money were given to the Great Han Emperor!”
"In the capital, who would have the guts to snatch it?”
Hearing his words, Zhen Jiang's heart finally relaxed a little.
Even so, she could not help but feel a little dazed.
Throughout the four hundred years of the Great Han Dynasty, there was no one like them who would openly send money to the Emperor with more than ten four-wheeled carriages!
But who would have the Zhen family's wealth?
"Husband, I heard that there is a time limit to buying an official position. The official position bought with money can only be held for one year. After one year, if you want to continue to be an official, you have to pay again.”
"Because of this, those who bought official positions would try their best to accumulate wealth after taking office, and their reputation would be extremely bad…So, is this business really worth it?"”
She was worried that Chen Xiao's reputation would be ruined after she bought the official position.
It was also because of this that the Zhen family was wealthy in Jizhou, but they had never thought of spending money to buy an official position.
His father Zhen Yi's official position was only at Shangcai Magistrate.
Chen Xiao did not say much about this question. She just smiled mysteriously. Jiang 'er, you don't understand…"
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was going to die!
In April this year!
After the Spirit Monarch's death, it was Dong Zhuo's rebellion!
At that time, the world would be in chaos, and the Imperial Court would be unable to take care of itself. Who could control him?
Therefore, to buy an official position at this time was to bargain for the stock market. The price-performance ratio was so high that it was explosive. As long as he got the official position, would Emperor Han Ling jump out of the coffin and ask him for the money to buy an official position for the next year?
Yes, Chen Xiao was not from this world!
He was a transmigrator!
Two years ago, he had transmigrated here. He had thought that he would be able to do well in the Three Kingdoms Era by relying on his knowledge of history. However, he did not expect that just the restriction of his identity would make him feel despair!
In this era, without a family background, even if one had the talent to govern the country, they would not have the slightest chance to display their talents!
If one wanted to make a name for themselves, they had to be from a poor or wealthy family, let alone a prestigious family.
Chen Xiao did not take any of these!
He didn't even have a household register, so he could only be considered a refugee!
Without any martial strength, he almost starved to death!
Fortunately, there was one thing that made him stronger than all the descendants of the aristocratic families in the world, and that was his extremely handsome face!
Because he was extremely handsome, he was chosen by the Zhen family to marry the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Jiang, to congratulate the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi, who was already terminally ill at that time!
Thus, he became the Zhen family's live-in son-in-law!
Chen Xiao did not mind that she could rely on her face to survive, and it was the Zhen family of Jizhou, which was a rich family.
Even though Zhen Yi had failed and died, Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jiang didn't take their anger out on him. They treated him well and he was happy to continue like this. After all, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
However, they didn't expect that because of Zhen Yi's death, the Zhen family would lose all their support in the officialdom.
The huge family business attracted the covetous eyes of many people with ulterior motives.
For the sake of the clan, Zhen Jiang's younger sisters, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and even the future Luoshen Zhen Mi, had to be arranged to marry into other great clans.
As his brother-in-law, how could he tolerate this?
As a man, how could he sit back and watch his beautiful sisters-in-law fall into the tiger's mouth one by one?
Chen Xiao stood out decisively. With her foresight and knowledge that surpassed the times, not only did she stabilize the Zhen family's business territory, but she also expanded the Zhen family's business empire to the extreme!
The money they earned in the past two years was more than the Zhen family had accumulated over the years!
He had become the person in charge of the Zhen family!
He even became the hero in the eyes of the Zhen Jiang sisters!
Then, he formulated a plan to buy an official position and brought a huge amount of gold and silver to the Great Han Capital. He was prepared to make a deal with the dying Emperor Ling of Han that was destined to be recorded in history!
Opening the curtain of the carriage, Chen Xiao looked at Luoyang City in front of her and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"The Ancient Capital is a thousand years old. Let's witness the power of money!”
