Chapter 31 To be a red-topped businessman?
The houses of the Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang family and Zhao Zhong family were taller than the palace, seriously violated the rules and committed the crime of beheading.
But Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong’s house are there, and these two eunuchs are living well!
Emperor Ling of Han was extremely stupid and ranked among the top among the foolish monarchs in history. He even publicly said, "Zhang Rang is my husband, and Zhao Zhong is my mother."
How can Aweng and his mother be called casually? That's the name of her biological mother!
The house of Zhang Rang is huge in appearance and is as luxurious as that of the palace.
Zhang Yu followed Zhang Rang into Zhang Rang's house and went to the study to rest.
Zhang Rang sat in the main seat and then stood shorter after Zhang Yu sat in the guest seat.
Zhang Rang looked at Zhang Yu and said with a serious look: "Tell me quickly, what evidence does Wang Yun have in my possession?"
Zhang Yu knew that Zhang Rang would definitely be able to survive this disaster. Not only did Wang Yun fail to defeat Zhang Rang, he hit himself in a bloody state, so he laughed and said, "Don't worry! No matter what evidence he has, as long as you treat Your Majesty well and please Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to eliminate Your Majesty's suspicion. As for other eunuchs! You don't have to worry about it. Killing a few will be more beneficial to your autocracy."
The sweat beads on Zhang Rang's forehead oozed out and sighed heavily and said, "Wang Yun, I am incompatible with him."
Zhang Yu knew that in real history, Wang Yun was dismissed from office because he reported that the eunuch had an affair with the Yellow Turban Army, but he would soon make a comeback. The struggles within the court were unimaginably fierce, and it was normal for officials to rise and fall. Today is the third duke, and he might be placed in prison tomorrow. Today is the county marquis, and he might be beheaded tomorrow. But some people are ordinary people today and enter the core circle of the court tomorrow. Like He Jin, who used to kill pigs, was favored by the emperor because of his half-sister, and was promoted step by step. Now he is a general. Zhao Qian, the governor of Runan County, was removed from office this time and can still be a third duke official in the future.
Zhang Rang was very grateful for Zhang Yu's news to Zhang Bang. As for Zhang Bang to take out 100,000 hu of grain for military use, Zhang Rang didn't care. In Zhang Rang's opinion, as long as he was kept in his position, it didn't matter how much grain he took out. He had more money than the national treasury, and 100,000 hu of grain was just a drizzle. After this disaster, Zhang Rang would ask Huangfu Song for compensation. Zhang Yu borrowed grain from Zhang Bang's place to be ordered by Huangfu Song. There were injustices and debts. No matter how great Huangfu Song made his establishment, he had to take out at least 50 million yuan. Otherwise, Zhang Rang would never let Huangfu Song go.
Zhang Rang discovered that Emperor Ling of Han liked Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu had the ability to become a treasure out of thin air. He thought Zhang Yu had a bright future, so he wanted to make friends with Zhang Yu.
After Zhang Rang talked to Zhang Yu for a while, he said, "Zhang Yu, while His Majesty the Emperor likes you, you should hurry up and seek a bigger official."
Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be an official. Wang Yun wants me to be a governor, but I didn't agree."
Zhang Rang felt heartbroken when he heard this, Ah! Where can Wang Yun win over Zhang Yu? No! If Zhang Yu is attracted by Wang Yun, they will join forces to sue me for an affair with the Yellow Turban Army, and my life will be over! I must pull Zhang Yu tightly on my side.
The treacherous and slick Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Zhang Yu, I told the Emperor that we are our family, and His Majesty the Emperor did not regard you as an outsider."
Zhang Yu sighed intentionally and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor sells official positions with a price. The treasures I offer are more than the money I have to buy third-level official positions. It is not a great idea to have me become the Marquis of Ting, the Marquis of Yuwang. I should have been named Marquis of Ting with my military merits, just beheading the leader of the Yellow Turban Bo Cai. I didn't count the other merits, and I didn't reward me with a single money. His Majesty the Emperor treated me badly."
Zhang Rang asked with a smile: "It is said that you have an engagement with the Chen family?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Yes! Chen Taiqiu also held a special ceremony for me to throw a pot at home!"
Zhang Rang asked with a smile: "How could he fall in love with you?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "He said he had never missed anyone. He said that Ren Xia was polite and was Qianlong, and he would have a bright future in the future. I don't know how he could see me. I feel that I am very ordinary. I just want to do a good job in the Xinyi Envoy. Chen Taiqiu wanted to give me a good house, and a large number of boys and maids were rejected by me. I told him that although I have nothing now, I believe that I will have everything within half a year. I have confidence in myself."
Zhang Rangxiao said: "You have real confidence in yourself. How could you have everything this year?"
Zhang Yuxiao said: "Half a year is not long, you will see it then."
Zhang Rang nodded and said, "You are such a great man! Your Majesty summoned Chen Taiqiu to Luoyang many times, and he allowed him to choose the third public official position, but he refused them all. I think it won't take long for Your Majesty to summon Chen Taiqiu again. Chen Taiqiu is the leader of the master of famous scholars. If he can come to Luoyang to become an official, all the famous scholars in the world will follow you. Because of your relationship with Chen Taiqiu, you will become the object of praise for famous scholars in the world. Your Majesty will recognize your value."
Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "I am not a famous scholar, I just trust the postman. If I am chivalrous and I recognize it, I am a famous scholar, that is a way to praise me. I don't know whether Your Majesty will recognize my value, but I just hope Your Majesty can support me in starting a express company."
Zhang Rang laughed and said, "Do you think it will be useful with the support of Your Majesty? Will the newly appointed prefect support after the replacement of Prefect Wen? The prefect in the county is centralized and you can't pass the prefect's stance. Don't dream of starting a express company."
Zhang Rang's words made Zhang Yu feel enlightened, yes! Why didn't I think of this? As long as the prefect agrees, it doesn't matter if the emperor disagrees. How could the emperor be so meticulous? The world is in chaos, and what he should worry about is how to protect the imperial power. But the prefect is different. He is in Yangdi, and a wave of his hand can cause the express company to die.
Zhang Yu was stunned when he looked at Zhang Rang's eyes.
Zhang Rangmei smiled and said, "How is it? Do you want to ask me to help you?"
Zhang Yu asked curiously: "What can you help?"
Zhang Rang said: "If your official position becomes larger and he can't suppress you, can't you do whatever you want?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, even the governor can't control the prefect. The governor only has a few hundred stones, and the prefect has two thousand stones!"
Zhang Rang said: "What if you are an official around His Majesty the Emperor? What if you have the power to assess and report the prefect?"
Zhang Yu sighed and said, "What a joke? How could I be such a big official?"
Zhang Rang smiled and said, "Zhang Yu, as long as you promised to help me in the future, I will do it for you."
Zhang Yu sighed and said, "No matter what official position, I will not take office."
Zhang Rang said: "No need to take office."
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "What kind of official can be used to assess the prefect, and you don't need to take office?"
Zhang Rangxiao said, "You always know the official Kong Rong is, right?"
Zhang Yu suddenly realized and said, "Shi Jing!"
Zhang Rang nodded and said, "Yes! Assistant Censor, as long as I say in His Majesty that you are the son-in-law of Chen Taiqiu's favorite grandson, you can become the Censor in one step. After becoming this official, as long as you are transferred, you can become the prefect. As a result, you don't have to wait for Luoyang forever. You can be ordered to go to the prefectures and counties to inspect customs and inspect the military. You have a lot of power. If you become this official and run a express company, who can control you except the emperor who can take care of you?"
Zhang Yu's interest suddenly came, thinking that if you can't do a company as a red-top businessman, you can't do it well? Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to you?"
