1.77 Shochu replenishment
This kneeling was very polite.
Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty, and even though he was white, he was still in the blood of the royal family. As a yellow eunuch who served the emperor, he was indeed a family slave. It was reasonable and compliant to pay homage to his master.
"Sir, please get up quickly." Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Xie Shaojun." Feng Xu stood up with the help of his power, afraid that Liu Bei would not understand many rules, so he approached his ear and said softly: "I am here to be a family matter for my ancestors. It is not advisable to speak out. Please ask Shaojun to come to the hall to speak."
"Please." Liu Bei did not doubt that he had.
"Young Master, please, first." It is said that eunuchs are arrogant and bully others with their power. When they saw each other today, Liu Bei knew why they could stand firm for a long time. It was because they could bend and stretch. They were lawless and bold and reckless. They were also cautious and obedient and could abide by the rules.
After entering the middle hall, he closed the middle door. Only Liu Bei's relatives were left. Feng Xi then raised his head and looked at Liu Bei carefully.
Liu Bei was peaceful and friendly. Everything outside was for everyone in the world to see. Now that he has entered the inner room, the Feng Shi in front of him is the Zhongchang Shi who is below one person and above ten thousand people.
"Young Master is so young, I am very surprised." Although I still called "slave", my tone is very different.
"The old man is here to praise me for being young." Liu Bei smiled indifferently.
Seeing that Liu Bei was neither humble nor arrogant, he was quite arrogant. Feng Xi was stunned at first, then he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
"Since that's the case, I will speak out." After saying that, I raised my arms lightly and let my long sleeves fall: "There is a holy edict in my sleeves. The left side is a marquis and the right side is a title. I dare to ask the young master, whether to be left or right."
The title of marquis means the title of marquis of Ting.
Re-election means Re-election Marquis.
Although both are Tinghou, they are very different.
The newly-appointed Marquis of Ting has nothing to do with Liu Bei's clan genealogy. If the title of Marquis of Lucheng is renamed, Liu Bei will be the veritable descendant of the King of Zhongshan!
In this way, Lu Chengting was his fief.
"Food" in "the princes are registered in food" refers to fief!
The former is a single figure, while the latter is a royal family genealogy. It is naturally very different.
The prices the two Tinghous have to pay are naturally very different.
Liu Bei then turned his gaze to the right: "Right."
"Okay!" Feng Xi stood up and stood in the middle. Liu Bei walked to the lower head and knelt down facing him.
He looked at Liu Bei in depth, and then slowly unfolded the edict in his sleeve.
Reciting aloud:
On the fifth day of the third month of the fourth year of Jianning, the Emperor of Han issued an edict:
"I heard that Liu Bei, Zhuo County, was the descendant of Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luchengting, was loyal to the emperor and the people, and he returned the title of Marquis of Luchengting. I would like to encourage him."
Is this over?
"My memory, Liu Bei. Thank you for your kindness." Liu Bei thanked you.
After Feng Zi rolled up the edict slowly, Liu Bei stepped forward and took it with both hands.
Feng Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Master lost his title and was regained, which is gratifying."
Liu Bei put the edict in his sleeve and asked the seal to sit down again: "The emperor has something to say."
Feng Xi nodded with a smile: "The emperor naturally has something to say."
Clearing his throat, Feng said in a soft voice: "The Master said that since the young master has re-elected his title, the '阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿�
"..." Liu Bei was speechless. It turned out that it was difficult for his emperor to dig here. It was probably a matter of hard work to come up with such a reason for asking for money. Besides, "The Rule of Jin" was only seen in the former Han Dynasty. Where did Jin come from in the present Han Dynasty?
"Han Shu·Lu Lizhi": "Twenty-four zhu is 2, sixteen zhu is jin, thirty zhu is jin, and four zhu is jin."
Isn’t this just selling official positions?
One thousand one hundred and thirty-two taels of gold can be exchanged for millions of dollars!
However, Liu Bei said: "Cheap."
When the Western Palace was selling official positions, Emperor Ling clearly marked the price: 2,000 stone county magistrate, priced at 20 million yuan, and 400 stone county magistrate, priced at 4 million yuan. The salary of the four hundred stone official is half each, the monthly price is 2,050 yuan, and the grain is fifteen hu. It is about 5,000 yuan. The annual salary is only 60,000 yuan.
According to the Han law, the provisions of the "Household Tax": In the fief area of the monarch, each household is 200 coins per year, and is for the monarch to enjoy, and is not included in the national treasury. On this item alone, based on the existing number of households in Lou Sang, Liu Bei can earn 320,000 coins!
Not to mention other harsh, donations, miscellaneous, and taxes!
Later, the Emperor, who had to sell four million yuan for a county magistrate, is now selling a hereditary marquis, but only one million yuan is spoken!
It should be noted that by then, a Guannei Hou who has a title but no fiefdom will still need five million yuan!
The price of Emperor Ling, who just subdued the Yuan Dynasty, is really low!
At this time, Emperor Ling knew that he would be shameful for selling official positions and titles under the name of "replenishing gold". This reason is reasonable. Even Liu Bei had no way to refute it. The laws of our dynasty followed the former Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether it was implemented at this time, the "real gold law" was still valid. Just like the Han law of "three or more people who drink for no reason, and fined four taels of liang." Although most of them are no longer enforced at this time, the rules are still there.
Feng Xiang also said that if it is a cake without gold, it can also be folded into copper coins.
No wonder I came here to take a team of carriages. I was going to load copper coins and return.
Looking back, the reason why I sent a group of people and even sent a confidant Huangmen to come to the imperial examination was due to the royal face.
After discussing the payment deadline, Liu Bei asked Feng Xi to rest in the guest room. Feng Xi did not live in Liu Bei's house, nor did he go to the Tingshe County. Instead, he moved into Lou Sang's house in a vast way and booked a floor of monument.
Why is this?
After standing on the seventh floor and watching the carriages and horses of the Zhuo County celebrities who came to pay their respects to the outside of the village, Liu Bei realized.
The eunuchs who can climb to the position of Zhongchangshi are all very human.
Three days later, when Liu Bei sent the cash box containing seventy horseshoe golden cakes to the monastery, Feng Feng was overjoyed. Because, according to the price of His Majesty and the price of a thousand taels, Liu Bei only had to deliver more than sixty gold. However, Liu Bei paid 283 years according to the price of one thousand one hundred and three liang!
In other words, the extra 132 taels are the gains of Feng's trip!
How could he not be happy?
He is truly worthy of being the son of the Tian family!
Two more days later, the emperor said his farewell. Before leaving, he sent the cart to Liu Bei for the future. The words were given by the emperor.
The officials of prefectures and counties who came to see off, famous scholars, landlords and powerful people, all looked at each other sideways.
"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Yufu Zhi" records: "The Gong Lihou Anche, a vermilion wheel, a ridge-spotted wheel, a deer leaning against, a soap cover." It means that the wheel is painted with vermilion color, and a deer is painted in front of the car. The horizontal shape of the car is shaped like a buzz bear. There are car screens on both sides of the car box, and the car cover is connected to it. In order to make the car more comfortable to ride, thick cattails are tied to the wheel to reduce bumps on the road, which is called "Anche Puhe Puhe".
At first, the Anche was mostly used by members of the royal family on major occasions, and was a symbol of identity and status. Because the dynasty pursued the "governing the world with filial piety", the emperor gave his ministers Anche to the senior officials of the country for the sake of the ritual of the high-ranking officials.
After that, a system gradually formed. Among the items rewarded by the court, the "Anche" was often found. The scope of reward gradually expanded. The princes and kings extended to the vassal kings, and the court officials extended to retired old ministers. For the old ministers who retired due to illness, the court also rewarded the car they rode on when they were in office to show their praise. Many old ministers had enjoyed this preferential treatment.
Seeing the horses neighing, the body of the car was quite heavy. Liu Bei then realized that the heavy convoy was not all for him. He had plundered so many people's wealth and money, and the trip was not "empty".
