Chapter 21 Money is a trivial matter(1/2)
How stupid was Emperor Ling of Han?
Recognizes eunuchs as his father.
Treat the donkey as a caregiver.
Put on the court uniform and put on the wise crown of the dog. He sat in the court and participated in the affairs of the court. Then, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he happily said: "What a dog official!"
Also, this guy was not satisfied with doing that and needed to take off his clothes first, so he ordered all the harem maids to wear open-crotch pants!
Only people can't imagine it, but no he can't do it!
Of course, the most famous thing is to be greedy for money. Everyone should pay money first when they become officials, including officials who are dispatched to move forward, etc., and they must also pay money!
In fact, in the Han Dynasty, selling official positions and titles was nothing.
Because Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Wu of Han and others also did this.
But people are responsible for selling official positions and titles, and the money they get is also used for national construction, not for private enjoyment.
Emperor Ling of Han was completely the opposite. No matter whether the reason was the case, everyone had to give money first and then become an official. All the money they got was used for personal enjoyment.
Therefore, the decline of a dynasty is not without reason.
Of course, the decline of the Han Dynasty was caused by many reasons and could not be completely attributed to Emperor Ling of Han. Moreover, as an adult, every move would not be unmotivated.
I can't say what political plans are contained in it?
Later generations speculated that it was to prepare military expenses.
Who knows!
Even if it is not successful, it means it is not!
Who made him fail?
In short, these absurd things are just the tip of the iceberg of the entire corrupt dynasty.
If you want to explain in detail, the work of tens of millions of words is difficult to describe, and you won’t say much.
"Buy an official?"
Yan Bing frowned and asked Master Ju Bo:
"If you want to buy a county magistrate, I don't know how much money you need to prepare?"
Everyone in the world knew about Emperor Ling of Han’s official positions, and Yan Bing naturally heard of it, but he was just a poor official and didn’t know much, so he asked this question.
Master Ju stretched out two fingers.
Yan Bing was still thinking, but Lu Bu understood completely.
Emperor Ling of Han sold his official positions and took the business route, with different prices of various official positions.
Generally speaking, it is calculated based on the annual salary of officials.
Ten thousand times the annual salary!
For example, the county magistrate has an official position with an annual salary of 2,000 shi, and the price is 20 million yuan!
This is the market for the county magistrate when no one competes.
If someone competes, the higher the price will win!
"Fuck!"
Lu Bu was speechless and shook his head.
Such high official purchase fees can't afford it even for ordinary wealthy families.
Moreover, the cost of buying an official is 10,000 times the annual salary. Who can afford to be an official honestly?
Based on this rule of buying an official, it is easy to draw a conclusion.
The first thing every official does and everything he does during his tenure must be to impose heavy taxes.
If not, it is impossible to recover the cost!
Under such circumstances, the living conditions of the people in the Han Dynasty can be imagined!
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is a historical necessity.
There are no yellow scarves, but also green scarves, red scarves, and white scarves...
The Han Dynasty was in decline and Emperor Ling of Han had no choice!
The most hateful thing is that this guy is not the king of the destruction of the country!
Speaking of which, when the dynasty ends, the last emperor is actually not a foolish monarch, but an incompetent monarch who cannot turn the tide.
For example, Emperor Xian of Han, Chongzhen...
They are in trouble.
"Twenty million yuan?"
Yan Bing was shocked.
Wuyuan County is already barren, so no one can afford so much money, let alone them!
“No need to pay it in one go!”
Juzhu Bo explained:
"The emperor is kind and kind. He is allowed to pay in installments and pay a quarter of the down payment to take office. Of course, the subsequent money must be made up for the next few years!"
When talking about Emperor Ling of Han was kind, Lord Ju couldn't help but grunt, but he was talking about the key points.
Yan Bing and Lu Bu looked at each other.
"Son-in-law, may he pay this money?"
Yan Bing was unsure and asked Lu Bu.
They are all natives from Jiuyuan, and they know each other well. Besides, they are still in-laws, so he naturally knows that Lu Bu can't afford so much money.
"I can, but I don't want to!"
After cursing secretly, Lu Bu said:
"I was caught in the previous episode and could barely pay five million yuan!"
"good!"
Hearing this, Yan Bing slapped his thigh and said:
"If it is not enough, I can fund the part. As long as I can pay the first amount of money, it will be easier to deal with later!"
The Yan family is also from a poor family. If they have a son-in-law in the prefect, they will have the possibility of turning over and becoming a noble family in the future.
Therefore, Yan Bing agreed with Lu Bu's attempt to win the county magistrate and did not give any effort to support him.
"Very good!"
Master Ju also looked happy and said to the two:
"In this way, it needs to be properly operated!"
...
After bidding farewell to Yan Bing and Juzhu Bo, Lu Bu sat alone in the study, speechless.
"No wonder no one has been appointed as the governor of Wuyuan County after Tuzan in history!"
"Wuyuan County is remote and barren, with little oil and water. It is extremely difficult to buy the position of county magistrate alone!"
"I have to work hard to fight with the Hu people. I am in danger of death at any time. Who would like to come?"
He finally knew why there was no county magistrate in Wuyuan County in history after the Duzhan.
There is also the position of Chief Shi and Chief Weir, who has been vacant for a long time.
Which normal person would spend this money in vain?
No wonder Lu Bu in history has the reputation of being a world-famous martial artist, but he cannot gain a foothold in his hometown. He still needs to cling to Ding Yuan to make a name for himself.
In addition to the heavy constraints, lack of money is also a major reason.
"Fortunately, I seized 80 million yuan this time!"
Lu Bu murmured to himself.
"However, at most, you can get a down payment. The remaining 15 million yuan, and you don't want to take a single child away from me!"
He thought angrily.
Although the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, the world will be in a variety of ways in the next few years. Who is honestly giving money?
First, give the down payment and become the county magistrate. The subsequent money will be delayed. No matter how stupid Emperor Ling of Han is, he dares to ignore the safety of the border?
I'm so angry that I can just let a wave of Hu people go south!
With his eyes flashing, Lu Bu began to think of various bad ideas in his mind.
Although he admired the Han Dynasty, he admired such a great man of "one Han should be the Five Barbarians". "Those who violated the powerful Han Dynasty in an intellectual way will be punished even if they are far away!"
