The sixth year of Zhongping, which was 189.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion had been going on for five years. Hunger was everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. The nearly four-hundred-year-old building of the Great Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Luoyang City, at the entrance of the Zhao Family branch, more than ten large boxes were placed in a row at the entrance.
What was even stranger was that the large chests were all opened. There were countless brilliant gold and silver, dazzling gems, and high-grade cloth. Under the sunlight, they sparkled and blinded the eyes.
There was actually no one guarding the surroundings, as if they were not worried about the thieves.
"What's going on? Could it be that the Zhao family had so much money that their hands were burning?”
"That's right. In public, if someone took it away, how would they get it back?”
"The rich families of Jizhou rule the world. The Zhao family is the rich family of Jizhou.”
"I've heard that Young Master Zhao is generous, but I didn't expect him to be this rich."
Even though the sun was high up in the sky, this place still attracted many pedestrians.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy, and they were also increasingly curious about this Young Master Zhao.
That's true, who wouldn't be tempted by such a huge pile of gold and silver?
However, this was the capital after all. They could only watch from afar and no one dared to snatch it.
In the crowd, a few people's eyes drifted. They lowered their heads and pondered for a while before disappearing.
After a while, the main entrance was already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.
...
Branch mansion, courtyard, summer pavilion.
Two young men sat opposite each other, leisurely tasting snacks and drinking fine wine.
One of them was dressed in silver armor and white robes. He had thick eyebrows and a wide mouth. He had an imposing appearance and was awe-inspiring.
The other was dressed in brocade clothes. He had a stunning face that was exquisite and fair, but the lines of his face were as if it had been cut by an axe, without losing his masculinity.
These were the two Zhao brothers, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun.
"Big brother, if we leave our money outside like this, won't it be taken away by others? Moreover, wouldn't this attract the attention of the nobles in the capital?”
Zhao Yun frowned and said worriedly.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants were the last, and they received great benefits. Countless officials and nobles were watching. They could crush merchants with their power with a flip of their hands, so it was normal for him to be worried.
"What are you afraid of? We originally came to the capital to throw money. I'm afraid that these nobles don't know and I have to find them one by one!”
"Moreover, this is only a small amount of money. There are still a few large houses in the courtyard behind!”
Zhao Feng smiled and drank another cup. He didn't take it to heart at all.
"Big Brother, you mean to give all this money to the nobles in the capital? It was all earned by his brother's years of hard work. Zilong shouldn't have said anything, but he was very puzzled!”
Zhao Yun seemed to have understood something, but she still couldn't figure out the key point.
Facing his curious gaze, Zhao Feng finally revealed the purpose of his trip to the capital,"It's not all for the nobles, but for His Majesty to buy an official position!”
"What is it? Buy an official position?"
Zhao Yun was instantly stunned. However, he was not a stupid person and quickly reacted.
It was already known that the current emperor sold his official positions in order to enjoy himself in the West Garden.
The Zhao Family was originally insignificant in Chang Mountain. These years, it was thanks to Big Brother's wonderful management that the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce could spread throughout the Nine Provinces and could be considered to have made a comeback.
However, merchants were still at the bottom of the line. He also knew that his eldest brother had always wanted to bring the Zhao family to a higher place. It turned out that he had been waiting for this day!
As for the gifts to the nobles, it was naturally the expenses of the bribe. As for who he wanted to bribe, it naturally depended on who took the initiative to express their intentions.
Placing the money at the door was to wait for the willing to take the bait!
Brilliant plan!
"Big Brother is indeed thoughtful. Zilong is too shallow!”
After thinking it through, Zhao Yun could not help but admire her big brother even more.
Ever since he was young, the only person who could make him admire from the bottom of his heart was his eldest brother!
"Not bad! To be able to figure it out so quickly, he had indeed improved!”
Zhao Feng looked at his younger brother with admiration and raised his glass to share a sip.
In fact, he had long known that Han Emperor Liu Hong was going to sell his official position, so he had been preparing for this day.
That's right, Chen Feng was a transmigrator.
Therefore, he understood the direction of the future!
Twenty years ago, he had transmigrated to the end of the Han Dynasty. He had wanted to use his historical knowledge and modern thinking to show off his skills. In the end, he had been too early and had become a baby.
And the family he reincarnated into was extremely ordinary.
In this era, social classes were fixed. If one did not come from a noble family, even if one had a skill, it would be useless!
It could be said that other than his younger brother, Zhao Yun, he had no other resources!
However, he had not lived in vain for so many years. He had used modern thinking to reduce the dimensions of his attacks and started doing business very early on. He had also made a fortune from the war during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was why he had been able to mix around a little.
As for why he wanted to buy an official position now, one was that he had just opened up the Prefecture Overseer. This position that could have military autonomy was his goal.
The other was that the Spirit Monarch was about to die!
In April this year!
He was here to check the location!
The Spirit Emperor died, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in Jingdou, and the Han family had no time to protect themselves. Then, the heroes would rise up and the world would be in chaos. At that time, the vassals of a prefecture would have a lot to do!
There was no need to pay for it, it was simply a profitable transaction!
After a series of painstaking planning, they had finally arrived at this day. Chen Feng looked at Luoyang Palace from afar and felt heroic. His gaze was already on the nine provinces!
"It's almost time. Zilong, follow me out to take a look!”
