Chapter 60 High and hard! (For the leader 14123892
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs had great power, such as the famous Ten Chiefs, which could almost be regarded as one of the culprits in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
For example, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was almost the real prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and could be regarded as more than one person than ten thousand people.
However, no matter how powerful the power is, the so-called eunuch group is always a whole, with several different yamen, and countless slaves who depend on the emperor himself, representing the emperor himself and infiltrating power into those aristocratic families.
I have never heard of giving such great power to one person, who has passed it in his hands. This is a real inner minister, almost an agent of imperial power.
Of course, the Han Dynasty's destiny has really declined, and the emperor himself is already unable to protect himself. No one knows how much power this power, which is almost the same as the eunuchs, can exert in this world.
But the emperor was wise and powerful, and the Han Dynasty had the hope of three prosperity. Once the Han Dynasty revived, he would leave his name in history. Even for this possibility, Mi Zhu was willing to bet on everything about him.
"Go back to Your Majesty, my Xu family still has some family background in Xuzhou. There are also many old friends and relatives of Yingchuan County. I will gather together and I will definitely offer you at least tens of millions of dollars to Your Majesty before selling these divine objects."
Are you flattering? There is a problem with the cost of the palace. Of course, you have to criticize this part first. Besides, these things from the emperor are really good things and you don’t have to worry about selling them.
They are still selling under the banner of the emperor.
In fact, Mi Zhu wanted to say that he would give at least 100 million yuan to the emperor first, but he really didn't know the current situation in his hometown in Xuzhou. After all, the owner of Xuzhou is Lu Bu. If he had a brain thrust, he wouldn't know.
If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what if.
As for Liu Xie, he naturally didn't know that Mi Zhu had so many twists and turns in his mind. In his opinion, what was there? Isn't this just an advance payment?
The advance payment is OK, I'm short of money now.
"At least ten million yuan? Well..."
Liu Xie was actually not interested in money, it was true. He even had no idea about the purchasing power of coins in the Han Dynasty.
But 10 million yuan, even if there is no copper coin and it is only worth one yuan to convert it into RMB, this money must be a lot, right? The name of this emperor was really valuable in ancient times!
Of course, there is a very subtle misunderstanding here, that is, the tens of millions of dollars that Mi Zhu refers to, actually refers to the small coins that Dong Zhuo is cast, also known as Dong Zhuo Wuzhu. It is a very special pitfall. It is the only square-kong small coins in my country's history without money.
Once this coin is released, the price directly increased by more than ten times, and a hu of grain even reached more than 100,000 yuan. This purchasing power is really far less than that of one dollar in later generations.
Although it is very scammed, it is the official currency of the Han Dynasty after all. After Dong Zhuo's death, the court did not have the spare time to issue new coins, so Mi Zhu's statement was not at all wrong.
So the stupid Liu Xie gave Mi Zhu a stupid order: "So much money, there are only 300 people in my palace, so I definitely can't use so many. Let's do this. I heard that all the ministers in our court are loyal to the king and the country. I heard that the Taifu lacks money and food in wars, and even voluntarily asks the court to suspend his salary. This is so inappropriate. How can I not pay for my salary when working? The emperor is not worthy of Eight Bingme. Go back and check who has suspended his salary. Let's give them a gift."
After saying that, Liu Xie felt happy.
If Cao Cao knew that I was so sensible, he would definitely praise me as a good baby.
Mi Zhu was stunned.
He heard that the court asked for a suspension of salary in the past two thousand stones alone, which was not counting the marquis who had actual fiefs. The price of grain is so expensive now. If it were actually paid, it would not be a small amount.
"Why, it's difficult?"
When Mi Zhu heard this, he gritted his teeth and wanted to break the roots of his teeth. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but said loudly: "Go back to Your Majesty, no. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."
What a tough emperor, he has not even settled his own expenses, but he first thought about the salaries of all officials.
This must be a test given to me by Your Majesty, just so. Even if I squeeze out my bone slag, I must have done this beautifully.
It's done, and the Mi family is rising.
If you make up for it, you will be buried with the Han Dynasty.
So when he left the palace gate that day, Mi Zhu immediately took action and tried his best to make money. He contacted the gentry and powerful people in Yingchuan area, and set up a workshop in a grand manner similar to recruiting people to join the gang, responsible for producing soap and toothpaste. At the same time, he borrowed money everywhere by placing white strips.
At the same time, Mi Zhu burned his boats this time and ordered his hometown in Xuzhou to sell his family property, but he didn't want any ancestral property, so he asked his younger brother Mi Fang to exchange them all for money and grain.
The money and grain sold must be transported through Cao Cao's hands. When the money was transported, Cao Cao had already arrived in Pengcheng. It is said that when Cao Cao helped transport the money and grain, his back teeth were biting and bleeding.
Of course, afterwards, Liu Xie also discovered that he had made a big mistake. Tens of millions of dollars were not enough to pay salaries to the ministers in the court. As a result, the amount of money Mi Zhu did not get into his pocket.
But he had already said everything. He couldn't slap himself in the face and asked him back. He couldn't afford to lose this person, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.
Fortunately, there was at least one "royal restaurant" in the business he opened. The restaurant was not going to be able to go from Mi Zhu, and the business was quite popular. In addition, all the dishes sold inside were expensive, so the money he earned could barely be maintained, at least so that the palace servants would not go hungry.
And when these suspended salaries were sent back to the hands of the Han ministers by Mi Zhu, all of the loyal Han ministers were moved to tears.
The emperor, who is the emperor, is in charge of low-cost business, and asks the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to serve others on the street, but they are not for their own life. They pay the ministers the first time they make money. What kind of spirit is this?
Nothing said,
Mi Zhu Mi Zi Zhong, Gao!
Emperor, hard!
My Han court is tall and hard!!
In fact, most of the ministers in the court were richer than the emperor, and they were much richer, especially those like Yang Biao, but they still gritted their teeth and shed tears to collect these salaries that seemed to be bloody in their eyes.
The emperor's ambition to revive is so firm, how can we let down the emperor's painstaking efforts?
But if you collect it, it doesn’t mean you won’t return it.
Of course, the emperor has great ambitions. What he wants is not his personal living expenses, but the country left by his ancestors. If he returns it back, it cannot be money.
On the night after receiving the money, Yang Biao found Zongji and expressed his willingness to donate 400 horses to the guards in the palace.
The power of role models is infinite. The next morning, Zhong Ji excitedly found Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the court are grateful for the kindness of the emperor. They promised me that they donated a total of 1,711 strong horses to the guards in the palace! Your Majesty, the king and the ministers are united, and our Han Dynasty is hopeful for revival!"
After hearing this, Liu Xie's face turned purple like eggplant.
I'm almost unable to afford to raise people now, so why should I raise horses?
"Where is Mi Zhu? Where is Mi Zhu? Call him for me, give him all these horses, let him get it done!"
Whoever makes the mess out of it will wipe my butt? I'm fucking someone who is trying to provoke whom.
