Liu Hong looked at Chen Xiao and felt that this young man who was so handsome that he was jealous was probably a lunatic.
Zhang Rang also said incredulously," Childe Chen, the Imperial Court has just implemented the policy of appointing a Prefecture Overseer. They will definitely use an important official that His Majesty trusts. With your Zhen family's wealth, wouldn't it be a good idea to buy a Prefecture Governor?" Why do you have to dream about this?"
For the sake of the 20 million yuan, he kindly reminded Chen Xiao.
It was also a hint to Liu Hong that Chen Xiao was a leek with so much money that it would burn his hands. He should not kill her in a moment of unhappiness.
"The Prefecture Overseer has a high position and authority. Naturally, only those whom His Majesty trusts can take on the responsibility!”
Chen Xiao nodded, not caring about Liu Hong and Zhang Rang's gazes at all.""But not only the officials in the court are loyal to His Majesty. Can't His Majesty trust us commoners?”
"Do you think I will trust you?" Liu Hong laughed.”
"May I ask, Your Majesty, how can one prove a person's trust?”
Chen Xiao and Liu Hong looked at each other and said with a face full of sincerity,""All the civil and military officials in the court are His Majesty's subjects, but how many of them can go through fire and water for His Majesty? Which of those high-ranking officials from the great clans did not have other thoughts in their hearts?”
"Although our Zhen family is not talented, we are willing to do everything for Your Majesty!”
Liu Hong's heart ached when he heard this.
His relationship with the ministers in the court was not good!
From the beginning of his succession, he had to rely on eunuchs to increase their power and balance the civil and military officials in the court.
And because of this, it caused the second disaster of party prohibitions in the history of the Han Dynasty.
These few years, because of his extravagance and debauchery, he had been remonstrated by the officials countless times and killed countless officials.
Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, there was no one in the court to use. He had no choice but to announce the lifting of the party ban, causing many party members to enter the court as officials.
These people were loyal on the surface, but in reality, how many people could Liu Hong trust?
They were far inferior to the eunuchs around him!
He had no choice. He had too many tricks up his sleeve!
"How dare you!"
Liu Hong was stabbed in pain, and his dragon face immediately became furious."You dare to sow discord between me and the officials? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"
"This commoner is not trying to sow discord!"
Chen Xiao did not want to really anger Liu Hong at the critical moment, so she quickly explained,""What this commoner means is that the loyalty of all the officials in the court cannot be seen or touched, but the loyalty of our Zhen family is truly visible!”
Liu Hong was stunned.
Zhang Rang was also confused." Nonsense! How can loyalty be seen?"”
"Of course I can!"
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth curled up slightly. She looked at Liu Hong and said word by word,""This commoner's loyalty lies at the entrance of the West Garden. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go and see it now!”
Seeing this scene, Zhang Rang was a little dazed.
Did he hear this sentence yesterday?
"Zhen wants to see how your loyalty can be seen and touched!”
Liu Hong's interest was piqued by Chen Xiao's words. He restrained his anger and actually stood up to walk out of the West Park.
Chen Xiao and Liu Hong quickly followed.
As they walked into the distance, they were accompanied by guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. The group of people came to the entrance of the West Garden in a mighty manner.
Soon, Liu Hong understood how loyalty could be seen and touched.
It was all money!
The money for twelve carriages!
However, unlike the one he had given Zhang Rang yesterday, these 12 four-wheeled carriages did not have luxurious carriages. Instead, they were just ordinary carriages.
However, there were too many boxes!
The reason why they were pulled by two horses was purely because it was too heavy!
At this moment, these boxes had all been opened, revealing a golden light. They were all gold cakes, and there were no heavy and ugly copper coins!
If Zhang Rang had only been blinded by something yesterday…
At this moment, his eyes really felt like they were being burned blind!
"This…"
Liu Hong was also stunned. Even the dignified ruler of a country was stunned by the glaring golden light."Is this your loyalty? How much money is this!"
As the emperor, Liu Hong sold his official position to earn money. He was the richest person in the world.
However, the money he earned was directly pulled into the vault.
He had never seen so much money with his own eyes!
Especially since these boxes were all filled with gold cakes!
This visual impact was unparalleled!
The Han Dynasty did not have much gold reserves. With so many gold cakes piled up together, Liu Hong felt that there was more than the national treasury. He could not help but mutter to himself.
No one answered him.
The guards of the West Garden and the palace maids and eunuchs who had followed them were all stunned by the light of money.
"The Zhen Family of Wuji has used everything they have. After converting these gold cakes, it's a total of 200 million yuan!”
The only person who remained sober was Chen Xiao. He took a deep breath and said with a pained expression,""I am willing to use this 200 million to give Your Majesty the West Garden in exchange for the position of the Overseer of Youzhou…for a year!”
"Two hundred million…"
Liu Hong's voice was trembling.
The biggest deal he had ever done was Cao Song buying the position of Grand Commandant of one of the Three Dukes.
That business had earned him a whole 100 million yuan.
And now, double the money was placed in front of him.
To Liu Hong, this was not just a simple number. He was extremely extravagant and extravagant. The speed at which he spent money was far faster than the speed at which he earned money. Even selling his official position could not make up for it.
Especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the places were in chaos and the people were poor.
The speed at which those officials made money had greatly decreased, and their purchasing power had naturally decreased.
It had been a long time since an official position with a rank of 2,000 stones was sold.
Therefore, Liu Hong's little treasury was not rich!
It could even be said that he was a little stretched!
Chen Xiao's 200 million was undoubtedly a timely help to him, especially when Chen Xiao was very tactful. A whole 200 million…was actually only used to buy a year's position as the Prefecture Overseer!
Wasn't this loyal?
Who else was loyal?
"Chen…Minister Chen is indeed a loyal person!”
As his thoughts ran wild, Liu Hong was knocked unconscious by Chen Xiao's powerful money ability.
In an instant, all the anger disappeared and was replaced by incomparable satisfaction. The way he looked at Chen Xiao was even closer than Zhang Rang's.
However, as he spoke, he suddenly reacted.
"My dear minister, you want to buy the governor of Youzhou?!”
