Chapter 234 The first meeting between Han Ling Emperor and Wang Yu
Liu Hong, one of the most dissolute emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, practiced party imprisonment and eunuch politics during most of his reign.
Although this was to compete for power with aristocratic families, he undermined the stability of the country's development and brought turmoil to the current situation.
Moreover, he is also the emperor who is the best at amassing money in the world.
He had a certain ambition to make money at the beginning, but in the face of the obstacle of a wealthy family, he completely realized that he was far from enough, so he completely started to mess up!
He set up the West Garden for his own enjoyment and used the income from selling his official position for the construction of the West Garden.
Lu Qiang, the Standing Attendant of the Central Committee, admonished: "All the property in the world belongs to Your Majesty, why should we divide it into public and private matters?"
Liu Hong did not listen.
In this way, the policy of selling officials continued until Liu Hong's death.
In the late period of Liu Hong's reign, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and Liangzhou and other places also fell into continuous turmoil.
In the year when the Yellow Turban Army was temporarily pacified, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace. Under the instigation of the regular servants, Liu Hong increased the land tax from all over the world, called "palace repair money", which resulted in a rebellion by the Black Mountain Army in Jizhou.
Also in this year, Liu Hong sent Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. Not only did they fail to quell the rebellion, but they actually made the Liangzhou rebels grow stronger.
It was the one after another rebellions in the world that made Liu Hong gradually come out of the West Garden enjoyment, but he might as well not come out, because as soon as he came out, the state pastoral system reappeared, laying the foundation for the troubled times of the Han Dynasty.
Finally, on Bingchen day in April of the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, May 13, 189 AD, Liu Hong passed away. He was given the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaoling and was buried in Wenling. He was properly regarded as a faint emperor of the Han Dynasty.
However, his five-dimensional attributes were beyond Wang Yu's expectation.
[Dingdong, Liu Hong’s current five-dimensional attributes are: Commander: 65, Force: 49, Intelligence: 81, Politics: 92, Charm: 89;]
But as soon as Wang Yu thought of what Liu Hong had done in history, he had an idea!
Looking at Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who was sitting high in the hall, Wang Yu felt very unhappy, but what else could he do besides being unhappy? He could only kneel down on one knee to pay homage to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong.
"I, the Marquis of Guan Nei, Wang Yu and Prince Ying, bow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yu gave Han Ling Emperor some polite words and flattery. As the saying goes, flattery never wears off. After hearing Wang Yu's flattery, Emperor Han Ling showed a smile.
.
"This boy is indeed cunning, but that's fine. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and such people are easy to control!" Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong commented to Wang Yu in his heart, and then went straight to the point, saying: "I heard that you have been recently
, opened a Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang? It seems to be very profitable... I am very interested!"
"Coming!"
After hearing the words of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with sharpness. His words were simple and clear, and he said he was interested, which was actually a hint to Yuan Shu.
If you want Cai Yong to live a better life, he must be like the Jinyang Wen family and the Li family. He also needs to occupy a share of the Chamber of Commerce, and it seems that this situation will not be less.
After all, Da Hehe’s information is immeasurable, and these things cannot be hidden at all!
It was a lie that Wang Yu was not angry at the Han Ling Emperor who took advantage of the situation, but after all, he was young and mature. Although he was very angry, he still suppressed it, with a pure smile on his face!
"I didn't expect that Weichen's Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is already so famous. It is really an honor for Weichen to be able to come into His Majesty's eyes.
If the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang is invested by Your Majesty, it will definitely make more profits, and the money divided can further enrich the national treasury!"
Wang Yu's words were watertight. Although they sounded flattering, they still reminded Han Ling Emperor that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was run by the Wang family, and it was impossible for the emperor to dominate the shops!
Moreover, even if you want to dominate the Chinese shops, the officials will not agree and even unite to resist.
It turns out that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official positions and plundered people's wealth, which aroused the suspicion of many ministers and scholars. If he continued to focus on business, he would definitely be criticized by the ministers!
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not a fool, and naturally knew what Wang Yu meant, but he did not want to swallow up Wang Yu's Huaxia Chamber of Commerce. After all, she really did not want to meet Wang Teng, and it was enough to occupy some shares.
"My dear nephew, after all, this is the capital of the Han Dynasty, not your Jinyang. I think the development of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang is not easy, and I am willing to support it. You see..."
At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty directly played the emotional card. After all, he and Wang Yu's father Wang Teng also grew up in childhood, so his meaning was already very clear.
As the emperor, he can help and support the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but Wang Yu must show his sincerity. At least some of the profits of the chamber of commerce must be given to Han Ling Emperor.
Wang Yu naturally knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Ziying is willing to share the profits of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce with your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, okay, my nephew is really happy!" After hearing that Wang Yu was willing to bow his head, Emperor Han Ling's eyes straightened, and he couldn't help but said "ok" three times in a row, which made Wang Yu on the side have a look on his face.
Helpless.
"Ziying is willing to share with His Majesty 50/50. Your Majesty will occupy 50% of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang, and Ziying will also occupy 50%. I wonder what your Majesty thinks of this split?"
A 50-50 split is already Wang Yu's biggest concession. If the emperor looks too ugly and makes excessive demands, Wang Yu will not let him get used to it and will definitely let him see his power.
However, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also knew to give up when things were good. He didn't want to quarrel with Wang Yu, so he decisively gave way: "Hahaha, Aiqing is serious. This Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang was founded by Aiqing with hard work.
I think it’s better to make it 70-30.”
"I love you and occupy seven points, but I only occupy three points. I love you for your hard work and should be rewarded..."
"I have never seen... such a thick-faced, shameless person!" Seeing Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty rewarding himself with his own things, Wang Yu was so angry that he was speechless. This sentence suddenly flashed in his mind.
Come.
"I thank you, Your Majesty!" He was under the eaves and had to bow his head. Wang Yu had no way to resist now and could only choose to kowtow to express gratitude!
At this moment, Wang Yu knew that Cai Yong would be fine next, but he didn't know that the emperor would arrange him like this.
Wang Yu took the initiative to give up three-thirds of his profits and successfully hooked up with the emperor. He then left the palace and went to the Huaxia Shop to tell Bai Gui the news.
He believes that with Bai Gui's strength and this excellent advantage, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce will usher in a golden period.
"Your Majesty, now that the matter is over, it's time for me to resign." Wang Yu excused himself. Since Cai Yong had nothing to do, Wang Yu naturally wouldn't stay here, so he walked straight to the direction of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce! …………
Above the palace!
The eunuch Cao Jie didn't understand why the emperor only wanted three points of profit. He knew very well how much money the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce had earned these days.
Don't mention it, the emperor only accounts for three points, even eight points is not an exaggeration!
Looking at Cao Jie's expression, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty knew what he was thinking at this time, but he did not explain it because it was unnecessary.
If possible, how could he only get three points of profit? He must strive for the maximum profit.
However, Wang Yu is different from others. He has to do things in a certain way, otherwise it will only bring trouble to himself. After all, he still needs to rely on the Wang family to garrison in Northern Xinjiang.
…………
The eyes came to Wang Yu!
Speaking of which, he has not been to the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce for a long time. These days, he has been busy training the villagers of Yiyong Village. The affairs in the chamber of commerce have been handed over to Bai Gui. Now he just comes to take a look.
However, as soon as Wang Yu and the others arrived at the entrance of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, they found that it was crowded with people, and there was a steady stream of customers, including those buying glass and some buying soap.
There were even several servants he had met at Yuan's house, who probably came here to buy in bulk on Yuan Shu's orders. Because the value was so high, even Bai Gui, the president of the association, personally came to discuss the business. p>
Seeing Bai Gui working hard and demonstrating his abilities in one fell swoop, Wang Yu was extremely satisfied with this. Although the latter's business attributes have not reached full value, it is not far away. After all, the benefits he has brought to himself are not small!<
/p>
"Young Master Ziying!" The servant of the Yuan family naturally knew Wang Yu, so he hurried over to become a familiar face. Only then did Wang Yu know that they were people sent by Yuan Shu!
Wang Yu was not surprised by this. After all, Yuan Shu had Sun Shuao by his side. This hexagonal talent naturally knew the importance of business. It is estimated that Yuan Shu would send someone to discuss with him about the Chamber of Commerce in the near future! p>
Since the purchase was made by an acquaintance, and it was Yuan Shu, the second son of the Yuan family, Wang Yu was willing to sell this favor and directly sold it at a 20% discount, which immediately made the servant smile.
Thanks to the help of Wang Yu and the others, the originally noisy environment quickly became much quieter. Even the Chamber of Commerce began to relax and the number of people began to decrease.
After selling products to today’s consumers one by one, it’s already getting late!
"Uncle, you have really worked hard these days. If you hadn't been dealing with it, our Chinese Chamber of Commerce would not be as prosperous as it is today. This is all due to you!"
Facing his relative, who is also a great talent in business and internal affairs, Wang Yu will not be stingy with words of praise. Even an elegant person like Bai Gui will feel comfortable. After all, Wang Yu is his niece's son-in-law.
.
"Lord, why are you suddenly free to come here today? If what I expected is right, you should be running for everyone in Cai. Could it be..." Seeing Wang Yu's calm expression, Bai Gui was not worried about Cai Yong's safety at all.
I suddenly had a guess!
Wang Yu saw that Bai Gui had made a rough guess, so he didn't hide anything. He just sighed longly in front of Bai Gui, and then took the initiative to enter the palace to meet Liu Hong. Liu Hong summoned him to the palace by borrowing the donkey under the slope. p>
Speaking out about using Luoyang Huaxia Chamber of Commerce's three-cent profit in exchange for Cai Yong's safety, Wang Yu specifically emphasized that this matter would also be beneficial to the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.
With the emperor's support, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of suppression, and its future expansion will become even greater, because his Wong Lo Kat and Jiaduobao can be officially launched.
"Uncle, since the emperor wants three points of profit from the Chamber of Commerce, just give it to him. However, these three points of profit are not so good. Since he has chosen to support it, we cannot miss this incredible kindness."
"In the coming days, we must do it boldly and confidently to make our Chinese Chamber of Commerce bigger and bigger. As long as we don't go too far, the emperor will not hold us accountable."
"After all, the three-cent profit of the Luoyang Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is not a small amount. For the sake of his own money, the emperor must give more support to the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce!"
Although Wang Yu knew that Bai Gui knew the seriousness of the matter, he himself was unhappy, so he babbled so much. On the surface, it was to appease Bai Gui, but in fact, it was to appease himself and give himself a step down.
Bai Gui naturally knew that, so he didn't say anything and let Wang Yu vent his depression, otherwise it would easily accumulate in his heart.
After Wang Yuhua finished complaining, Bai Gui considered the pros and cons. He was responsible for the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang. As a result, he made a lot of money through hard work, but one-third of the profit had to be given to the emperor for free.<
/p>
This makes Bai Gui, who has always only made gains but never wanted to suffer losses, feel at ease.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. If we can take advantage of this opportunity and successfully connect with the emperor, many things will be easier to handle, such as the big one eating the small one. The current Huaxia Chamber of Commerce has the emperor as a shareholder.
Whether it is the Yuan family or other big Luoyang families, if they dare to use their local advantages to suppress the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, it will directly violate the rights of the emperor. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who is always focused on making money, will be willing!
Therefore, in this way, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce will have a protective umbrella. Not only can its profits be doubled, but its integrity will be higher, and more businessmen will come to purchase goods.
From this point of view, as long as you operate it properly, it will do more good than harm to the future of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.
…………
Three days later!
Because the minister ordered Lu Zhi to admonish the ministers Ma Rixi, Situ Wangyun, Taiwei Yang Ci and other ministers from the outer dynasty, as well as Yuan She and Lu Qiang, the regular servants of the inner dynasty, to appeal for him.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty borrowed the donkey from the slope and issued an edict in public: "Cai Yong will be commuted to one level of death penalty, but the whole family will be sent to Shuofang County. If he is found guilty, he will not be pardoned."
As soon as this edict came out, everyone was shocked. Cai Yong was not executed. No one was surprised. After all, his reputation lies here. But what no one expected was that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty actually sent him to Shuofang!<
/p>
Shuofang County is a border county very close to the Xianbei tribe. If it were a few years ago, once you go to this place, you will basically have a narrow escape.
However, since Wang Yu led the army to recover, Wang Bo, the governor of Bingzhou, used the power of the Wang family to attract refugees and continued to invest in construction. Today's Shuofang County is no longer in decline as before.
Moreover, Shuofang is the territory of the Wang family, so when Cai Yong gets there, it means it is completely safe!
But the key point is that the relationship between the emperor and the Wang family has broken down. Could it be that the emperor sent Cai Yong to Shuofang just to further ease the relationship with the Wang family?
No one knows!
But everyone knows that Cai Yong's imprisonment will not be so simple. Perhaps all the ministers present have become pawns of the emperor.
