After He Jin finished speaking, he looked at the staff in the hall.
He Jin was very ambitious when the Wealth Rankings were released this time.
Although Liu Yu was ranked sixth, he was a rare prodigy, and the top three were from the Great Han Clan.
He Jin was confident that he could recruit him and surpass Liu Yu and even Liu Hong.
Three years later, the top spot of the Wealth Rankings would definitely be him, He Jin.
After all, he was the executioner of the aristocrats.
Even the direct descendants of Runan's Yuan Family and Hongnong's Yang Family were willing to submit to him and offer advice.
Even if the other aristocratic families had some wealth, they wouldn't dare to refuse his recruitment.
In the past few days, the advisors who had been running around all over the place looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
He Jin sensed that something was wrong. The smile in his eyes disappeared and he asked in a deep voice,
"What's the matter now?"
Chen Lin cupped her hands and said,
"Let the Great General know that my colleagues have recently visited the merchants of the various aristocratic families and discovered something.”
He Jin saw that his aides did not dare to make a sound for a long time, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
"You won't tell me that it's related to King Guangyang again, right?”
Chen Lin pursed her lips and looked at the general's eyebrows twitching abnormally. She deliberated over her words and slowly said,
"That's right. We discovered that other than Lu Su, who is missing at the top of the list, most of the wealthy merchants 'surplus assets were accumulated from selling the goods produced by King Guangyang's fief over the past few years.”
He Jin propped himself up on the table, his two big hands pressing against the table, making creaking sounds. His expression revealed anger and confusion for no reason.
"Kong Zhang, say that again."
Chen Lin's tone was bitter.
"Reporting to the Great General, the rare goods such as tea leaves, white sugar, white salt, and white paper that have been popular in the world in recent years all come from King Guangyang's fief. According to our speculation, the more than 500,000 gold that King Guangyang has accumulated in three years is all obtained from cooperating with the aristocratic families in various places and splitting the profits.”
Not only was the Great General at a loss.
When they first started to search for the aristocratic families on the Wealth Rankings, it could be said that the entire Luoyang had fallen into a state of shock and confusion.
It was shocking enough that the emperor Liu Hong, who had accumulated wealth for more than ten years and caused the Han Dynasty to complain, was only ranked fourth on the Wealth Rankings.
The nameless Lu Su who was ranked first had a huge sum of three million. It was already unbelievable that it surpassed the combined sum of the second to sixth rankings.
King Guangyang had amassed more than 500,000 yuan in three years. Just the ranking of the Son of Heaven alone made people wonder if Lu Buwei, the Duke of Tao and Zhu, had been reborn.
However, he discovered that other than the Ten Attendants, all the merchants with family assets of more than 100,000 gold were connected to King Guangyang.
By selling all kinds of strange items, he could earn at least ten times the profit in two to three years, and his net worth would double.
Other than causing the Luoyang officials to drop their jaws in shock and the Si Li merchants to rush to Guangyang.
Everyone didn't know what to say.
It could be said that he had relied on the Great Han Empire's foundation to recruit his generals.
Liu Bei's two brothers were still examples of the heroes of Western Liang.
However, how could he think about this method of making money?
If this was all because of the Great Han Empire's foundation, then the emperor, Liu Hong, must have gone crazy all these years to make the Great Han Empire suffer the fate of the heavens in order to amass wealth?!
This kind of money-making method was something that even Tao Zhu Gong, Lu Buwei, could not compare to.
What else could the officials of Luoyang say?
Monster?
Saying that he was a monster was an exaggeration of the word monster.
He Jin seemed to have lost his strength and fell back into his chair. He looked around and said nonsense,
"Could it be that King Guangyang was really the first emperor who was resurrected from the underworld and brought the brave generals and wealth of the Qin Dynasty back to the Han Dynasty?”
He was ranked first on the General Board, and half of the top twenty generals were his subordinates.
Half of the people on the Rich List relied on him to get on the list. The top of the Rich List three years later would probably not be able to escape from him!
Such a character was enough to suppress an entire lifetime. What was the use of having more heroes?!
"Great General."
"Great General."
Seeing that He Jin had lost the desire to fight for supremacy in his eyes, the officials in the hall spoke up one after another to wake him up.
He Jin waved his hand and said,"How will those aristocratic families reply to your conscription?"”
Yuan Shao stepped forward and said," The top ten families on the list are none other than the Lu family of Wu County, the Mei family of the East Sea, the Zhen family of Wuji, and the world's richest man, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, who have disappeared.”
"The Yingchuan Lu Clan is a branch of the Lu Clan of Wu County. Xun Wenruo once asked the disciples of the Yingchuan Lu Clan to ask Lu Kang if he was originally serving the Great General. They only said that they could offer some goods in exchange for an official position.”
"The four families of Wu County live far away in River East and form their own system. It's understandable." He Jin said somewhat dispiritedly.”
"When Liu Xuande went to Xu Prefecture, he found that the Mei Clan of the East Sea was fickle and ambiguous in the face of the recruitment of many aristocratic families.”
"It seems like he wants to get a good price for his family.”
"Of course, it is also possible that they are afraid of King Guangyang's brutal methods and dare not make a decision.”
"As for the Zhen family of Wuji, the Zhen Zhang family has already decided to rely on the Great General. If necessary, they are willing to betroth the daughter of the Zhen family to Prince Bian as a concubine and use most of the Zhen family's wealth as dowry.”
The officials in the hall didn't find it strange that Zhen Zhang-shi had lost her daughter and money.
He Jin was just a butcher, and with his status as a relative, he could take over all the aristocrats in the world.
If the Zhen family of Wuji became relatives, they would become the next Liang family and Dou family.
Liang Ji dared to poison the emperor and set up a new monarch at will.
Dou Wu had also led his troops to attack the North Palace and threaten the emperor.
Such power far surpassed the four generations of the Three Dukes, and he was just one step away from becoming a member of the Wang Clan.
In the Wang Clan of the previous dynasty, nine of them were conferred the title of Marquis, five of them held the position of the Three Dukes, and one of them even learned from the ancient Yao, Shun, and Yu to establish a new dynasty.
To the Great Han Clan.
Other than being filial and honest, carrying 2,000 koku and being ranked as one of the three dukes, this kind of scholar would be promoted step by step. It would take decades or hundreds of years to promote the family.
There was also the possibility of becoming a relative and ascending to the heavens in one step.
Cao Cao of the parallel world used the Son of Heaven to command the vassals, but he still had to marry his daughter Liu Xie to become a relative.
The system of consorts in the Great Han Dynasty was evident.
Not to mention.
All the aristocratic families present knew this very well.
The Zhenzhang family placed their bets everywhere, not just because of their status as relatives.
The idea of marrying into the aristocratic families of the vassals was obvious. As long as one side succeeded, the Zhen family of Wuji could become the next Lu family.
"Good, but this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. If Lord Guangyang cuts off the supply of rare items to them, won't their wealth ranking drop by a lot in three years? I'm afraid it's not worth the current value.”
Staring at the tea bowl on the table, He Jin felt bored when he thought that the tea in the bowl and the tea bowl were from King Guangyang.
What everyone cared about was not the temporary rewards of the rankings, but the long-term blessings.
Therefore, after learning about Lord Guangyang's hidden way of making money, He Jin lost interest in the Rich List.
In any case, he could not compare to the other party no matter what, so why bother trying so hard to recruit him?!
Yuan Shao looked at the listless He Jin and was a little unhappy. It was as if this saber had lost its spirit after being stimulated by the strength of King Guangyang.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Idiot.
His face was full of disappointment as he said,"Great General, why should you underestimate the aristocratic families? King Guangyang has a way of making money, but if there is no aristocratic family to pave the way, it will not be permanent wealth!”
Yuan Shao had no choice but to explain to He Jin, who was once a butcher, in detail the methods of aristocratic families to monopolize business.
After listening.
He Jin's eyes lit up.”
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and secretly threw away the oddity of the top spot. He nodded and said,
"That's right. The Great General has ordered us to take the lead and let the aristocratic families reduce the dividends of Lord Guangyang.”
In an instant, He Jin pulled himself together and drank all the tea on the table.
He chewed two mouthfuls of tea leaves and spat them into the copper heating furnace, making a squeaking sound.
He Jin was dispirited and said boldly,
"Everyone, please don't take it to heart. Everyone knows that when a certain number of countries are destroyed, the Heavenly Dao Stone Stele will issue the next ranking.”
"The emperor intends to pacify the Shanyue and Jiang Hu tribes in the southern barbarians and the northern border. What do you think? How much can we profit from it?!”
……
Two hours later, the complicated meeting ended.
The officials and scholars who were gathered together dispersed.
Xun Yu, who had been dismissed from office because of the throwing of a wooden board in the court, stepped forward and said to He Jin, who was about to leave,
"Great General, since Yu has lost his position as assistant minister, and there is nothing else to do in Luoyang, I request that Great General be kind enough to allow me to return to Yingchuan to recuperate and help Great General contact the nobles of Yingchuan.”
He Jin looked at the genius of the Xun family who had the reputation of being a "king's assistant" in front of him and said reluctantly,
"Wen Ruo is so high-spirited and famous in the court. Why do you want to leave Luoyang now? In just a few months, when the emperor forgets about this matter, I will definitely recommend you to another important position.”
Xun Yu smiled. Naturally, he would not say that everyone was paying attention to the rankings and had selectively forgotten about the execution of officials. He was a little disheartened.
"After the announcement of the Wealth Rankings, I realized that the aristocratic families in the Great Han Dynasty have endless potential. The Great General and Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, suppressed the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court in Luoyang, and the local aristocratic families united to provide power for the Great General. Isn't this the best of both worlds?!”
He Jin stroked his beard and thought about it. He had indeed neglected the power of the local area. Perhaps another small aristocratic family would pop up like Liu Bei and Mi Zhu, who were ranked at the top of the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
"Wen Ruo is right. You still have to be careful on the road. If you need anything, just use a secret technique to write to me.”
Xun Yu bowed and said,"I thank you, General."”
Before they parted, the two of them chatted for a while more before leaving.
Walking out of the hall, Xun Yu chose a direction. Just as he went down the steps, he was blocked by someone.
Xun Yu looked at the person in front of him. He had an ordinary appearance.
However, he was surprised.
His cultivation was top-notch, and with the help of his powerful Spiritual Power, he could easily remember everything he saw.
However, he had a very shallow impression of the person in front of him. He only remembered that he had always been standing behind Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
It was either that his talent and secret technique were profound and could hide from the eyes and ears of others, or that his cultivation far exceeded his and had broken through to the Saint Realm.
The ordinary man's eyes seemed to have a vortex that could see through everything."Wen Ruo is abandoning Great General.”
Xun Yu knew that the man in front of him was extremely intelligent and not inferior to him, so he did not hide it.
"That's right."
"The Ten Attendants are all venomous snakes, eroding the Great Han Dynasty's natural order.”
"Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, and even Liu Xuande of the new Jin Dynasty are all heroes of the world. The execution of the officials should have been an easy success.”
"What can I do? How can a dog lead a dragon and a tiger? How can he kill a poisonous snake?!”
"It's just Dou Wu's matter. If it's like what Yuan Benchu said, bringing foreign troops into the capital will definitely bring disaster.”
"So what if he stays in the capital?”
The ordinary man smiled faintly." So Wen Ruo wants to find the spy that King Guangyang has buried in Luoyang. Jia Wenhe wants to talk to him and see if King Guangyang is a wise ruler. Can he help the Han Dynasty?"!”
Suddenly, he heard that the spy he had spent a long time to find had been mentioned.
Xun Yu's pupils constricted as he was shocked.
……
Ps: Originally, I wanted to match Yuan Shao with Tian Feng, but I guess many people couldn't accept that these two people could be opponents with Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu, so they borrowed the characters from a book.
