Guangyang City, Youzhou Province.
Lord Guangyang's Mansion.
After roughly looking through the newly released Wealth Rankings of the Heavenly Dao, Liu Yu casually handed the document to Guo Jia beside him and turned to look at Wang Yue.
"In Luoyang, many people think that I relied on the Great Han Dynasty's foundation to be able to look down on the heroes in three years.”
Wang Yue, who was dressed in black, stood tall and straight, like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any moment.
He said softly,
"It's all because they're ignorant and don't know the true heroes of the world!”
Liu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ever since I could remember, I've only met a handful of Liu Hong. In the end, I inexplicably became the backup plan of our Han Emperor.”
"He sure knows how to take advantage. He wants to use a sword to confirm the rumors.”
Guo Jia, who had roughly scanned the Wealth Rankings, thought for a few breaths.
"This is the Son of Heaven using us as a means of balancing. He wants to use the lord to check and balance the Great General in the court, so that he won't be urged by the aristocrats to take risks.”
"I feel that my lord can accept the emperor's reward.”
"Oh, what's the meaning of filial piety?" Liu Yu's eyebrows raised slightly.!”
Guo Jia extended two fingers and said in an orderly manner,
"There are two benefits for my lord.”
"Firstly, the aristocratic families and dukes think that the lord has developed to this extent because of the Great Han Dynasty's foundation, so they will definitely underestimate him.”
"This is the normal state of humans. If you far surpass it, you will only look up and admire it.”
"If they are not much stronger, they will think that they can easily achieve this condition and even surpass the experts.”
"And now, our Guangyang City is only slightly stronger than the top dukes.”
"That's true." Liu Yu laughed.”
" Secondly," Guo Jia paused and pointed at the world map hanging on the study.
In the direction of his finger.
It was the center of the map, the vast territory of the Great Han Dynasty.
"The meaning of the Resurrection Sword is extraordinary."
"Although we know that our lord doesn't need to rely on the identity of a Han royal relative or a Great Han prince to fight for the power of the world, we don't need to rely on him.”
"However, the name of reviving the Han Dynasty can attract many loyal and upright people who have not yet given up on the Han Dynasty.”
"After all, the lord's plan has yet to be implemented. The current manpower to manage Guangyang and Youzhou is still acceptable, but in the future, when the territory is expanded by another province, it will be somewhat insufficient.”
Liu Yu nodded.”
After saying that, Liu Yu pointed at the document in Guo Jia's hand.
"Liu Hong is ranked fourth on the Wealth Rankings and has obtained the fate of Fire. It seems that he won't die in the next few years. With his balanced politics, it will be difficult for the chaotic world to truly start.”
However, Guo Jia shook his head, raised a finger, and smiled mysteriously."
"One year."
"What?!" Liu Yu was confused.
"If the Heavenly Dao Rankings continue to be published, our Emperor will definitely pass away in less than a year.”
Liu Yu changed his lazy attitude and sat upright. He asked with a serious expression,
"Fengxiao, why do you say that?"
"It's just two words, human heart." Guo Jia laughed.”
"The people of the world have suffered from the eunuchs for a long time, and the aristocratic families have also suffered from the ten constant attendants for a long time.”
"Just for the new round of rewards in three years, Tian Zi will definitely withdraw his wealth and raise his ranking.”
"Our Son of Heaven is selfish, extravagant, and licentious. He does all kinds of perverse things. When he saw the appearance of the Rich List, he immediately set his sights on the wealthy merchants.”
"If we rashly increase taxes, the wealthy merchants will definitely rebel.”
"The wealthy and powerful people on the list all have aristocratic backgrounds, and the aristocratic families will definitely not allow the emperor to act recklessly.”
"Seeing that the world is about to fall into chaos, we are rashly starting a rebellion at this time.”
"All they have left is to do what Liang, Ji, and Dou Wu did in the past. They led their troops into the North Palace and deposed the emperor to establish a new ruler.”
Liu Yu stroked his chin that had some hair growing out, deep in thought.
Guo Jia continued,
"Perhaps the emperor will be the same as before and grasp the balance. The new taxes will make the aristocratic families feel pain, but they will not have the intention to usurp the throne.”
"However, seeing the emperor's backup plan, the lord is becoming stronger and more threatening, and the other person can't sit still.”
Liu Yu's eyes lit up.”
"That's right." Guo Jia clapped his hands and smiled.
"The reason why He Jin is so powerful and respected and has such a high position is that according to the tradition of the Great Han Dynasty, his status as a consort is the evidence for the aristocrats to kill officials. That's why the world's role model Yuan Benchu and the like became his guests and gave him advice.”
"However, the emperor is getting stronger and stronger, and the lord is threatening Prince Bian's throne.”
"The gentry clans split up and placed their bets. They joined the lord, and He Jin's power gradually weakened.”
"He only has two paths to take. He can either enter the North Palace and kill the Ten Attendants. Then, he can use his reputation as an official to coerce the aristocrats and make the emperor powerless.”
"Why don't we secretly plot against the emperor and pass on the news that the ten constant attendants plotted against the emperor and used their name to kill the eunuchs?”
Liu Yu slammed the table and stood up, saying excitedly,
"Liu Hong was only eleven years old back then, but he was already able to get along well with the eunuchs, aristocrats, and relatives. How could he be made a figurehead by He Jin? He would definitely choose the second option.”
Guo Jia nodded." At that time, whether you send troops to help the king, or sit and watch Guangyang and the Si Li soldiers fall into chaos, you will have a certain degree of advance and retreat."”
Guo Jia sighed.
"Unfortunately, Zijing is overseas. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have been able to convince Dong Zhuo of Western Liang and Ding Yuan of Bing Province to move into Henan ahead of time and stir up trouble.”
Liu Yu waved his hand and smiled." Zijing earned us three million gold. In the end, you, Guo Fengxiao, have to drive him to the border to do your best."”
"Zijing is just like my lord. He became famous once and the world knew about him.”
"If there's a list of strategists and civil officials one day, let's see if you, Guo Fengxiao, still have the energy to visit brothels.”
The two of them teased Lu Su, who was doing business thousands of miles away.
Guo Jia's gaze swept across the top ten names on the rankings."My lord, how should we deal with the Zhen Clan, Mei Clan, and the other clans?”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned, but he immediately smiled and said,"Let's see if they know what's good for them."
If he relied on his invention to prosper, he would forget about his roots.
Then he, Liu Yu, could make them scram back to where they came from!
Guangyang City did not only have white sugar, white paper, white salt, and other rare items of creation!
