Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 523

Bianjing.

Standing on a tall building, Lu Guiling looked at the Bianjing Imperial Palace, and couldn't help muttering: "If I can sit somewhere, death is worth it."

To say who is the richest in Bianjing, no one can give the answer.

But ask, who is the most generous.

There is only one answer in Bianjing, which is Lu Guiling.

Lu Guiling was born in Jingzhao Wannian, whose ancestral home was in Zhuo County, Fanyang County, and was born in the fourth family of the northern ancestor of the Lu family in Fanyang.His father was Lu Wenji, Prime Minister of the late Tang Dynasty.

Lu Wenji was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and he was best at collecting money. His grandfather Lu Jianqiu served as the military governor of Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and his father Lu Siye was an official to the right to make up the palace.And after he was promoted to Jinshi, with his excellent administrative ability, he made great strides all the way to the position of prime minister, and then used his powerful connections to accumulate billions of dollars for his descendants without breaking the law.

Lu Guiling is Lu Wenji's only son.

Some people's starting point is the end point that others can't reach in their lifetime.

These words are most suitable for Lu Guiling...

Lu Guiling didn't have great talent, so he had such connections and family background, but he couldn't get along in the officialdom.

In desperation, he squandered hundreds of millions of wealth and played around in Kaifeng.

A year ago, a thief with great powers appeared in Bianjing. He was a strange man, he climbed over the wall and entered the house like walking on the ground, and many rich people suffered.

Lu Guiling is an Internet celebrity who knows how to collect traffic properly in later generations. He said that he put his gold and silver in the yard without sending anyone to guard him. He has the ability to take it himself.

It turned out that he had people melt the gold and silver at home into a huge cube, which weighed a thousand catties.

Humans can't handle it at all.

It caused a sensation in the whole Bianjing.

Needless to say, Lu Guiling's private life is open with flowers, gold and silver, and he owns a large amount of real estate in Bianjing.

One of them is near Yujie, almost adjacent to the imperial palace in Bianjing.

On a whim, Lu Guiling built a four-story luxury restaurant on this land.

At first, Lu Guiling didn't notice anything unusual, but it wasn't until the construction was about to be completed that he realized that standing on the fourth floor could overlook the palace.

Although apart from large buildings such as palaces, the details could not be seen clearly with the human line of sight, but it also surprised and delighted Lu Guiling.

He didn't dare to build any more, but he came to look at it from time to time.

Looking at the palace, I thought many times how great it would be if I could sit on the dragon chair.

Lu Guiling enjoyed a wealthy life, but he didn't feel the taste of power.

"Master!"

The voice of the old butler came from downstairs.

Lu Guiling glanced at the palace with some reluctance, and slowly went down the tall building.

The old housekeeper said: "Master Lang, Mr. Tao is waiting for you in the mansion."

Lu Guiling immediately said, "I'll go right away!"

Lu Guiling nimbly got on his horse and walked slowly towards the house.

Lu Guiling traveled in a sedan chair and a carriage many years ago.

Compared with riding a horse by yourself, there is no comfort in taking a sedan chair and a carriage.

When the mood comes, you can still play car vibrations, car vibrations and so on on the street, which is exciting just thinking about it.

But following Luo Youdu's sentence, "I am young and strong, and I ride in a sedan chair like a woman, old and weak, what do I look like?"

Since then, riding in a sedan chair has almost become the patent of women who are old and weak.

Young and middle-aged people who take cars and sedan chairs will make others laugh at them as weak women.

All the officials above the temple, even if they are seventy years old, are unwilling to ride in cars and sedan chairs, saying that they can fight for a few more years.

People like Lu Guiling have the best face, so they got down hard and learned how to ride a horse.

Lu Guiling's mansion is very close to the imperial palace, but after a cup of tea, he arrived at Lu's house.

Quickly step into the reception room, a young son is toasting with Fuchu geisha, the atmosphere is hot.

Lu Guiling smiled and said, "If brother Jin'an likes it, how about Yingge giving it to you?"

The young man named Jin An's eyes showed a hint of excitement, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Brother Quan Fu, don't misunderstand me. After receiving your gift, Han Zhongkui will be impeached for sure. Damn, there is a Kou There are not enough judges, and now there is a more ruthless Han Zhongkui..."

Kou Xiang sits in the Kaifeng mansion to plead for the people, and has nothing to do with the officials in the court.

As long as the officials don't bully the people well and don't cause trouble, Kou Xiang can't control them.

Han Xizai is different, as an admonisher, he can hate the world.

From the emperor's Zaifu down to the unqualified petty official, he has the right to be angry.

Even Luo Youdu's most beloved courtier like Zhao Pu had to shy away from him.

So on the surface he was called Master Han, but behind his back he was called Han Zhongkui.

Lu Guiling sighed: "The imperial court is too strict. Giving concubines to each other is a good story. Now it has become a crime... Anyway, Yingge is at brother Wei's home anyway, and brother Jin'an regards this place as a It’s like my own home, come and play anytime.”

Lu Guiling was already heroic and magnanimous, and the young man in front of him was Tao Su and Tao Jin'an, the eldest sons of Tao Qiu's Minister of Industry.

Lu Guiling's family has billions of dollars, and he didn't think about spending his whole life on money.

He has ideals and ambitions and develops his own business.

This can be related to the people in the Ministry of Industry, and the future must be rich.

Tao Su smiled and said, "Brother Quan Fu is a good friend..."

The imperial court is waiting to be rejuvenated, Luo Youdu advocates integrity, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally rushed to follow suit and set an example.

Especially in the new dynasty and the new era, in order to leave their reputation of incorruptibility in the history, many officials are even extremely harsh on themselves, even Luo Youdu can't stand it, feeling that they have treated his subordinates badly.

But in fact, he is much more generous than Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has a high salary to maintain integrity. The salary of an official is enough to support a family, even including entertainment.

As long as you don't spend a lot of money, your life is completely guaranteed.

As a result, ministers with the same name as Wang Pu wore patched robes, which made Luo Youdu feel an eyesore.

But this kind of effect is good, if the superiors are not greedy, the subordinates will not dare to be greedy.

Petty greed and smuggling are inevitable in a dark place, but as long as the truth is revealed, it will be severely punished.

Originally, the salary was not bad, and the risk of corruption was high, so corruption was naturally reduced.

Tao Su is now an eighth-rank petty official, and he belongs to those who have the heart but not the guts.

If you work in a court with a bad atmosphere, you can be a proper corrupt official, but in the Luo Yu court, you can only be a small official diligently.Relying on his father's status, he became friends with people like Lu Guiling, eating and drinking.

Tao Su pushed away the beautiful woman in his arms, and said with a solemn face: "I came here today to discuss something important with Brother Quan Fu."

Lu Guiling waved the surrounding servants down, and hurriedly said, "Brother Jin'an, you can speak directly."

Tao Su sighed, "Brother Quan Fu, do you know that His Majesty intends to move the capital?"

Lu Guiling said with a sad face: "Why don't you know? If you really want to move the capital, it will be a big loss for my brother."

He has many real estate shops in Bianjing, and many of them are even near the imperial city.

If the capital is moved, Lu Guiling will suffer greatly from it.

Tao Su said: "Your Majesty just moved the idea of ​​moving the capital, and the idea does not mean that it will be implemented. Let Brother Quanfu know that many officials in the court are working in Bianjing, and there are many people who are unwilling to move the capital. My Tao family has been from Daliang, Kaifeng for several generations, how can I be willing to give up my family business and go to Luoyang?"
