Chapter 156 The way to make money
Chapter 156: Such a way to make money
"Satisfied, Zhao Changshi's house is as magnificent as Luoyang Palace, but you said it will take 70 to 49 days to move in."
"Empress Dowager, the sage was outside just now, and there were so many people talking. I can't explain in detail. In fact, there is a lot of gold, silver, treasures, weapons and armor hidden in the house," Lu Bu whispered: "The approximate number is still counted. It will be reported to you later. How should you deal with those things? But there is a saying that in front, the 160,000 Central Army under my command devoted their lives to the court, but so far, the court has not allocated any money to the Central Army."
The reason why Lu Bu told Empress Dowager He about Zhao Zhong’s secret room was that it was difficult to hide it. So many treasures were transferred in the city and would definitely be seen and eventually spread to Empress Dowager He.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to tell her from the beginning that she could just give her some rare treasures and get rid of them. If she is greedy, let her pay to support the army.
"You Bingzhou Army has reserved a lot of robberies from the palace. You are digging out the treasures of the Ten Eunuchs. I only saw some rare treasures. Where did the others go?" The Empress Dowager He Lian said angrily: "You can't take them all, you need a little bit of royal cost, otherwise you will lose your dignity, and you don't need money to build the palace? Isn't it necessary to recruit palace maids and eunuchs? Isn't it necessary to reward the ministers?"
"Empress Dowager, why not do this. I hand over all the gold and silver I have obtained before. How can you control it?" Lu Bu looked at Empress Dowager He with some angrily: "If you can build the palace and raise these 160,000 troops well, then I can control it."
"Lu Qing, don't be angry," said the Empress Dowager He Lian, who dared to say that he had full control of finances. First, he did not have the ability, and second, if he really did this, he obviously did not trust Lu Bu. He had to be fucked by him several times in the evening. This enemy became stronger and stronger, and his ***took more and more frequently every night, and his heart became softer and softer: "What do you think you should do?"
"Eunuch, how dare you ask again?! Haven't you learned your lesson in the Ten Eunuch Rebellion just now?!
Now you, a dozen confidant palace maids, are enough to serve your four masters. If you attack again, you may be able to recruit some spies from Dong Thief. If you are not afraid of death, just spend money to recruit them, right?!
When rewarding the ministers, the princes in various places have even delayed their taxes, but you use the money to reward them. They will even say that the royal family is rich and does not need us to pay tribute. Now the royal family is a little poorer, so they have to pay taxes from officials in various places, and the princes in various places come to pay tribute!
As for the imperial palace, if you build the palace in Yecheng more magnificent than those in Luoyang, what should you think of the ministers and soldiers? Do you still want to return to Luoyang?!
The palace in Yecheng is slightly expanded based on Zhao Zhong's house. I even think you can only use the Zhen family's house as the palace. At that time, the princes and soldiers from all over the country come to pay their respects. Seeing that the palace where the Empress Dowager and the Emperor live is so cold, they will definitely increase their anger towards Dong thief and have greater fighting spirit to recover Luoyang.
Please give the Queen Mother a clear explanation of these points!"
In the past four days, Empress Dowager He has a passionate relationship and summons Lu Bu to discuss matters every night. Lu Bu has no choice but to go to the Queen Mother's tent every night.
He was not convinced of his performance that night, so he tried hard to wield his Fang Tian Little Sphur.
It's very strange. Every other night, his performance will be a little stronger, and Empress Dowager He was tired of resisting that night.
Lu Bu finally regained his lost dignity and his temper grew in front of Empress Dowager He.
After Lu Bu scolded him with a harsh remark, Empress Dowager He broke free from his original vanity. Yes, now she was actually forced out of Luoyang by Dong Zhuo and was still in the process of fleeing. The most important thing now is the army. As long as the army is armed, defeated Dong Zhuo, and returned to Luoyang, she can live the original arrogant and extravagant life.
"Lu Qing, you are right," said Empress Dowager He seriously: "It's just that I have already lived in a house with carved beams and painted buildings. I am not used to such a simple house. Before regaining Luoyang, I should live in Zhao Changshi's house. Regarding how to deal with that batch of things, I think that weapons and armor should be equipped with the Central Army. As for the gold and silver, you have to take out some of them to repair Zhao Changshi's house. If there are some treasures, you should submit them to me, and the others should be kept as the Central Army's military pay."
"It's not just the cost of military pay. After several battles, there were so many casualties and injuries. The pensions were hundreds of millions of yuan. In addition, it took a lot of money to build weapons and armor, buy war horses, buy military rations, resettlement refugees, and resettle injured soldiers," Lu Bu said deliberately with a serious look: "In terms of calculation, I'm afraid that the money I saved in the past is not enough to spend."
"I am too lazy to listen to these things, so you can make your own decisions," Empress Dowager He waved her hand: "It's an extraordinary period. The court has no way to make money. If you have a way to make money, then you can do your best. As long as you keep the army, everything is easy to say."
"I really have a way to make money," Lu Bu smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you will not agree with the Queen Mother."
"What is the way to make money?! Let's talk about it quickly." Empress Dowager He glanced at Lu Bu charmingly: "You don't have to make a sound in front of me!"
"Can the Empress Dowager know the Zhen family in Wuji, Zhongshan?"
"Which branch of Zhen Yi in Shangcai Ling? Of course, I know that it is one of the few merchants with a huge amount of money and a wealth of 100 million yuan, and is as famous as the Mi family in Xuzhou."
"The house where the Empress Dowager is now sitting is the private house of the Zhen family in Yecheng. The Zhen family is willing to spend all their family property to support the Wei minister in attacking Dong Zhuo, provided that they marry their parents' daughter Zhen Jiang as their wife. However, I already have a wife, the Zhen family said that they can be a fair wife. However, my court has a law that is not allowed to stolen the position of wives and concubines, otherwise they will be guilty. If so, please ask the Empress Dowager to tell her, what should I do?" Lu Bu showed a very innocent expression.
"There is such a good thing? Lu Qing, you are very lucky," Empress Dowager He Lian and Lu Bu were not famous. Even if you want to be jealous, you can't be jealous. First, he made a joke, and then said quietly: "If you ask me to give you an idea, I am afraid that if you have too many women, you will be disgusted with me."
"Empress Dowager, you are so beautiful and plump, and you are never tired of doing anything. You will never neglect the empress dowager because of other women." Lu Bu saw that the young emperor Liu Bian stayed away because the two were bored and there was no one around, so he boldly teased.
"Hmph, I don't care how many women you have. Anyway, if there is an edict in my palace, you must not come, otherwise I will punish you for contempt of imperial power." Empress Dowager He Lian snorted: "As for the things that are good for the wife and not the wife, the Han Dynasty does not have this rule. I can make an exception to issue an imperial edict to you, and at the same time stand up for you to persuade other ministers of the regent. As long as these old masters agree, there is nothing else in the world to say."
"How could Lu Bu repay such kindness?" Lu Bu said with a wicked smile.
"Why do you want to repay? Humph, as long as I recruit you, you can come." The Empress Dowager He Lian was developed by Lu Bu Xuan, and her charming charm was even more charming. Lu Bu couldn't help but want to push her down on the spot to ask for pleasure.
After Lu Bu settled the Empress Dowager He Lian, the Young Emperor Liu Bian, the Empress Tang Yan, and the Wannian Princess Liu Yan in the Zhen family's house, he ordered the new Yulin Commander Wu Chong to lead two thousand people to take strict vigilance.
Especially, we should not let the crazy Wuyang Jun He's mother approach. Since Wuyang Jun He ordered the guards to be confined, he often ran out to the Empress Dowager's palace to disturb him while the guards were not paying attention. When Lu Bu saw the condition of the old woman, he knew that she was very similar to some of the later officials and wives who liked to go to duck shops. No one was satisfied with her age, so he accused Wu Chong of sending some rough men to comfort him every day. Wuyang Jun was very happy and never disturbed the peace of the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor again. Empress Dowager He occasionally visited her mother, and when he heard Wuyang Jun's happy screams, he left with relief.
After this, Lu Bu went to settle his family.
With the help of Zhen Yu, Lu Bu successfully bought a large house close to the house where the Empress Dowager and Shaodi lived. According to the measurements of the Harmonious Year, the area is more than 400 square meters and the environment is also very quiet. You can see the towering Taihang and the surging Zhangshui on the second floor. Lu Bu is very satisfied because the price is ideal, less than 200,000 yuan, and it is estimated that it will appreciate to one million in the future.
Lu Bu laughed silently, why did he live with the ideas of the twenty-first century? In this time and space, his assets under his name are probably tens of billions of dollars, and he still cares about this mere 200,000 yuan. What is the first monthly housing slave? He has already gone far away from him.
And I vowed to prevent the great men from this time and space from living a house slave life. If I struggled hard, I would be held hostage by vested interest groups like some people and become their spokespersons, and let the great men be house slaves as hard as they did during the Harmonious Period, then I might as well die sooner.
The servants of the Yan family had cleaned the house and moved in immediately.
Lu Bu picked up the porcelain doll made of pink and jade, and gently slim her chubby, white and red apple face: "Ling'er, I'm busy with military affairs these days and have not been with you. Do you blame me for being a father?"
Lu Lingqi giggled and said, "Dad, Ling'er has long been used to it. If you are a general, you don't go to fight. Are you a female celebrity all day like my Aunt Ren? But Dad hasn't been instructing Ling'er's halberd technique for many days, and Ling'er has some things that are not going well."
"Let me see, I will pass on your Overlord Sphur Method, how have you learned?"
Lu Lingqi, who was five years old, picked up a Fangtian halberd made of pure jujube wood and swung it. The Fangtian halberd weighed ten kilograms and was more than five feet long. Lingqi picked up the Fangtian halberd that was taller than her and was ridiculous.
But when she waved and ran like a flying move, Lu Bu couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really a tiger girl in the general. Ling'er inherited my God of War gene."
