Chapter 339
Qihou Mansion.
Qihou Tiandan's life has been very boring recently.
Although he became a marquis, Tian Dan was still bored.
He doesn't have any official position, and no one cares about him in Luoyang. He can pretty much do whatever he wants.
But Luoyang is just too boring.
In less than half a month, Tian Dan got tired of playing.
Although it is very comfortable to live without having to work or worry, it is just too boring.
Tian Dan, who was bored, could only play a little game of making humans with his concubines every day.
And now, the biggest problem has emerged.
There is no game that I can't stand playing every day. As the former King of Qi, Tian Dan naturally has no shortage of women around him.
Now that he hangs out with them every day, Tian Dan feels like he has no interest in them anymore.
But apart from women, he has nothing else to do every day.
Luoyang now is just a small broken city, and there is nothing he wants. However, he still dare not leave Luoyang.
This leaves Tian Dan, who has as much wealth as a mountain of gold, helpless and doesn't know how to spend his time.
"Master, Xiao Shizhong is here..." the family henchman reported.
Tian Dan frowned fiercely: "Xiao He? What is he here for?"
"I don't know about this..."
"Okay, let's get some wine and food ready!" Tian Dan nodded and hurriedly went to give instructions.
Although both of them were Hous, Tian Dan knew very well that there was no way he could compare with Xiao He as a Hou.
Therefore, when people come, you have to serve them with good wine and good food.
Tian Dan finally realized the life lived by those nobles from the six countries who were moved to Xianyang.
After a short while, Xiao He walked in.
As for Tiandan, although they are raised in captivity, the king is neither hungry nor stingy.
The house given to him can be regarded as a big house in Luoyang. At least for now, it still has a good reputation.
Seeing Xiao He, Tian Dan quickly stood up to greet him. Now Tian Dan still knows his position very clearly.
"Marquis Peng is here. I didn't come far to welcome him. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"The Marquis of Qi is serious. I came here uninvited. I hope the Marquis of Qi won't blame him!" Xiao He also returned the courtesy.
Regarding Tian Dan, Xiao He still maintained due respect for him.
After all, he was a former king. If he doesn't give him any face, his heart will condemn him.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries until the food and wine came. Tian Dan couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "I wonder why Marquis Peng is here today?"
Xiao He smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Today, Your Majesty summoned the ministers to discuss some things about the expansion of Luoyang. Isn't this because I am thinking that the Marquis of Qi has been idle recently? I am afraid that you will be too idle and make you unhappy.
, so I thought of finding something for you to do, which can be regarded as a way to relieve your fatigue in Luoyang."
"Oh? Peng Hou, please come quickly..." Hearing that he was looking for something to do, Tian Dan asked excitedly. He immediately realized that he had made a mistake and apologized quickly: "Don't blame Peng Hou, I am really busy these days.
To be honest... I have nothing but sex every day, and now I have no desire to do it."
"Understood! Understood!" Xiao He looked at Tian Dan with envy in his eyes. If you do it every day, I will be miserable. I don't have the energy to relieve my fatigue. I go home as tired as a dead dog every day.
Hey, that's not right. What do you want to do with this?
When the country is stabilized, I will definitely ask your Majesty for a few days' leave and spend three days and three nights at home...
"His Majesty wants to expand Luoyang five times, and has made plans for the role of each urban area. The result of the current discussion is to hand over these things to people with energy. The imperial court will only supervise. I wonder if the Marquis of Qi has any
interest?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Tian Dan looked at Xiao He confused.
Let me expand Luoyang?
Where did I get such great ability?
All those who could and could not be used under his command had defected to the Han State, and he was now a mere commander.
No, there is a group of tribesmen, but the problem is, those people are not the same material at all.
"It means, for example, Dongcheng District is a civilian area planned by the imperial court. You bought a thousand acres of land at a price of one hundred yuan per acre, and then led your own people to build a thousand courtyards according to the layout planned by the imperial court.
, the construction cost one hundred yuan. The imperial court stipulated that the profit of the house should not exceed twice the cost. When the time came, Qi Hou sold it to different people at a price of four hundred yuan each. Excluding taxes, Qi Hou could earn nearly 100 yuan for each house.
Two hundred dollars." Xiao He said.
The price will definitely not be this price, and the exact amount remains to be discussed, but this is probably the situation.
Then Tian Dan was stunned and asked doubtfully: "I have so much money and food now that I have nowhere to spend it. What do I need so much money for?"
As King Tian Dan of Qi who surrendered to the Han Kingdom, although he was imprisoned, his property was still retained, and a large part of it was still retained.
So even if the whole Tiandan clan does nothing now and just eats and waits to die every day, it is estimated that even if his grandson dies, he may not be able to complete the family business.
Therefore, money is the least attractive thing to Tian Dan.
Besides, if I were to become as rich as anyone in the country, would you, the King, let me go?
If you have free time, just be free. At worst, go find a medical officer to prescribe some medicine. Is it necessary to risk your life?
Kill them for fattening. I seem to have done this before...
Xiao He had guessed that Tian Dan would react like this before he came, so he already had countermeasures in place.
In the world today, there are two big tycoons, Tian Dan, Marquis of Qi, and Han Guang, Marquis of Yan. One by one, no one can escape.
As they have the greatest strength, and only with their participation, Luoyang's expansion can be completed with quality and quantity.
And it is also the most worry-free for the court.
"The Marquis of Qi is overly worried. Your Majesty has a far-sighted mind, so how can you care about this? Your Majesty originally proposed this matter, and the reason is because your Majesty wants to develop business, and Luoyang must expand to meet the demand. However,
Most of the court's money was spent on preparing for war, and there was no extra money to support the expansion of Luoyang, so they thought of this method." Xiao He directly pointed out the court's difficulties.
Then he continued: "And if the Marquis of Qi did it, wouldn't it mean that he helped the imperial court? Besides, the imperial court obtained the land money, collected taxes, and expanded Luoyang. It killed three birds with one stone, so there is no need for the Marquis of Qi to do so.
To worry about those things happening."
"This..." Tian Dan hesitated a little, feeling excited and scared.
I called her Xiao Tiantian beforehand, and Mrs. Niu afterwards. Humph, I can’t believe the words spoken by the upper class, even though I am also from the upper class...
Seeing Tian Dan's reaction, Xiao He decided to stimulate him again.
So he continued: "Now I am also the Minister of Shang. To be honest, even if the Marquis of Qi does not do this, the Marquis of Yan will do it. As for the position of Shang Shu, you two still have a great chance.
of."
"Is this true?" When Tian Dan heard the words "Shang Shu Shangshu", he instantly became interested.
He doesn't care about money or not. He doesn't care.
If he could become the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, he would be very satisfied now.
Although the Ministry of Commerce is newly established, it is still a minister, with a high enough rank and some power.
"Of course it is true, but His Majesty attaches great importance to this candidate. If the Marquis of Qi wants to compete, you must not only show your ability to make money, but also your long-term vision. After all, this is not a one-time deal.
So, the expansion of Luoyang City is an excellent opportunity for Qihou. If he can do this well, he will definitely be appointed within two or three years." Xiao He continued to stimulate.
"When does it start? What do I need to do?" Tian Dan asked excitedly.
Xiao He smiled faintly.
Not to mention, although Peng Yue's external performance was very poor, many times the intelligence came from the military, but he still didn't know anything about it.
But the intelligence within this pair is really impressive.
Even the fact that Tian Dan has been idle recently and the frequency of sexual intercourse has decreased significantly was able to find out, which allowed Xiao He to make a more comprehensive inference and formulate this persuasion plan step by step.
As for the Minister of Commerce.
This is not a pretense either.
Xiao He can't hold this position all the time. There are still some shortcomings in various ministers, and they are currently looking for candidates.
Xiao He also proposed that this position could be used to attract Tian Dan and Han Guang, so as to use these two people to drive more small dignitaries to come out to take over the work.
Wang Buxu naturally agreed to stay with him, so what if he was given a high-ranking official position?
It won't cause any trouble, and besides, scouts are not meant to scare people.
