Chapter 78, Smart Businessman

Cui Lie said angrily: "Aren't you just messing around? When did I say that I would give up Chang'an City!"

"I just want the court to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits first and then deal with the Xiliang bandits! Things have priorities. As an official of the court, don't you even understand this!"

Tao Qian sneered: "Liangzhou is gone, and the army has been transferred to Jizhou. What do you want the court to do to deal with the 100,000 rebels in Xiliang!"

Cui Lie was furious and said: "If it weren't for your incompetence, what would the court be discussing!"

Tao Qian really had no way to refute this point. He could only kneel down and say: "I am willing to make meritorious service and then go to the battlefield in Xiliang. As for the war in Jizhou, I think Fu Zhoumu has done a good job!"

Cui Lie really wants to kill Tao Qian now. He is still thinking about Xiliang. What matters now is Jizhou!

Shangshu Ling Lu Zhi also followed up and said: "I think there is no war in Jizhou now. Fu Zhoumu has trapped the Yellow Turban bandits in the Black Mountains and cannot pose a threat to Jizhou. We can simply maintain the status quo. No appeasement or annihilation. Wait until the imperial court annihilates the West.

After the cold thieves, let’s deal with these yellow scarf thieves!”

Lu Zhi knew that it was impossible to recruit Zhang Yan successfully. Based on what they did in Jizhou, it was impossible for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to let Zhang Yan and the yellow turban thieves go!

Emperor Ling nodded when he heard this. He could accept this proposal, as long as he was not allowed to pay for wars again!

He Jin said: "But Fu Bian is the shepherd of Jizhou, and he wants to recruit the Yellow Turban bandits. I'm afraid he will not obey the imperial court's orders!"

Cui Lie said: "If I am willing to serve as the shepherd of Jizhou, I will definitely help the court restore peace to Jizhou!"

Weiwei Liu Ting came out of the squad and said: "Situ has forgotten the court's 'three mutual laws'!"

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were explicit provisions on the avoidance of place of origin for officials. The avoidance system was not only strictly enforced, but the scope of avoidance was also constantly expanding. In addition to the need for local governors to avoid the place of origin, the marriage families were also required to avoid each other's place of origin.

, people from the two states were not allowed to visit each other. Later, the taboos became even stricter, and the "Three Mutual Laws" were even formulated.

There is a lack of detailed records of the 'Three Mutual Laws' in historical records. The summary is: 'If a person from state A is an official in state B, and a person from state B is an official in state B, then the people from state B are responsible for A, B,

All the three states of Bing need to be avoided. Due to the staggered avoidance stipulated in the "Three Mutual Laws", the taboos are too strict, which often leads to a difficult situation in selection. For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the governors of You and Ji states were left short for a long time.

'.'The election of the three prefectures will not be determined for more than a month.' The reason why it has been delayed for a long time is because 'to avoid the three mutuals, eleven states have prohibitions, so we should only take two states'. This means that due to the avoidance of the 'three mutuals',

People from 11 of the 13 states in the country are not allowed to serve as governors of You and Ji."

Cui Lie said: "The imperial court is in a critical moment, so of course it is urgent to obey the authority!"

"The imperial court is not in such a crisis as Situ said. The 'Three Mutual Laws' must still be observed!" Emperor Ling looked at the furious Cui Lie, and was even more worried that he would bring all the soldiers in Jizhou to fight Zhang Yan. He would even cry when the time comes.

Too late!

In the Great Changqiu, Zhao Zhong came out and said, "My slaves recommended former general Dong Zhuo as the shepherd of Jizhou. With Dong Zhuo here, I will definitely give your majesty a peaceful Jizhou!"

Zhao Zhong suffered heavy losses in the last wave of Yellow Turban Rebellion. Even his fields and houses were used by Fu Bian to house refugees. He hated Fu Bian deeply. Now he has the opportunity to kick Fu Bian out of Jizhou.

Naturally, he had to take action immediately. The most important thing is that there are still millions of acres of unclaimed land in Jizhou. As long as he pushes Dong Zhuo to the position of Jizhou's pastoralist, he can easily get millions of acres of fertile land with some hands, so for Jizhou

Zhao Zhong is bound to win the position of animal husbandry!

"I recommend Zongzheng Liu Yan to be the shepherd of Jizhou!" Grand Tutor Yuan Wei immediately said.

"I think that Wang Yun, the servant, has enough experience as an official to serve as the shepherd of Jizhou!" General He Jun said.

Zhao Zhong's actions immediately reminded other civil and military officials that the most important thing now is not to appease the Yellow Turban thieves, but to seize the position of Jizhou Mu. It's a joke that you can make hundreds of millions of dollars from this position! Even if you don't make money, master it. Once Jizhou is conquered, it will control the court's money and food. Judging from the money and food that Jizhou turns over this year, next year Jizhou can turn over money and food, which can account for more than 40% of the court's income.

Emperor Ling looked at the noisy civil and military officials with a sneer. Sure enough, serving the country and the people was their hypocritical illusion. The current quarrel was the civil and military officials he knew. But Emperor Ling also knew the importance of Jizhou now. He I would rather let Fu Bian continue to lead Jizhou Mu than let these people take over!

"Jizhou Mufu has done a good job, let him continue to be the pastor and retire from the court!"

After saying that, Emperor Ling rolled up his sleeves and left!

The remaining civil and military officials looked at each other and had no choice but to leave!

Zhao Zhong trotted over to the Ling Emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have to pay 100 million to buy the position of Jizhou Mu!"

He still doesn't want to give up the position of Jizhou Mu. Even if it only takes one year, he can earn 1 billion with his ability. Today, big fat meat like Jizhou can no longer be found. If he is slow to start, Jizhou's The land will definitely be annexed by the wealthy nobles.

Emperor Ling took out the jade purification bottle from his sleeve, drank some water, and said with a smile: "I believe in your skills in making money, but the 100 million yuan is a little short! You must know that even with tax reductions and exemptions, Fu They all gave me money and food worth 700 million!"

Zhao Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, all this money goes into the national treasury. How can the three princes and nine ministers of the imperial court spend it on your majesty! I am willing to give 200 million yuan to your majesty's Wanjintang alone!"

Zhang Rang, who was serving Emperor Ling on the side, was shocked. Zhao Zhong no longer wanted to live! He actually wanted to give away all his family property!

But Emperor Ling patted Zhao Zhong's body and said: "The environment in Jizhou is complicated and you can't control it. You'd better stay with me and make some money. Don't think about Jizhou's affairs. I don't want another horny person!" "

Emperor Ling was a smart businessman. After the Yellow Turban Uprising was put down, in order to make money, he made Zhao Zhong a cavalry general and appraised the meritorious officials. Zhao Zhong was very sensible and was on par with him, making him hundreds of millions of money.

However, because he arranged for some wealthy people to go to Jizhou to collect money, the Zhang Niujiao Rebellion broke out in Jizhou. All the money collected by others was used for the subsequent war. Not to mention, he also used 1 billion from Wanjintang, which was a loss. Big hair!

So this time Emperor Ling would not let Zhao Zhong interfere with Jizhou's affairs. If there was another Yellow Turban uprising, his Wanjin Hall would be gone.

For the current Ling Emperor, as long as the courtiers do not ask for money from him, they are loyal ministers. Jizhou should let Fu Bian, a lunatic who has no money or salt, continue to stay!
