Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 57 God of Wealth, We Have to Kneel!

Luoyang, the imperial palace.

Jian Shuo, the leader of the Xiyuan school's lieutenant army, stepped into the Canglong Gate. As night fell, he slid along the wall. At first, he just lowered his head and walked quickly, but he walked faster and faster.

He still had lingering fears from the huge shock and oppressive feeling, and he finally started trotting regardless of his status.

Emperor Liu Hong planned to go to bed with Wang Meiren tonight.

After Empress Song was imprisoned and hanged herself, in the harem, there were only two people Liu Hong favored the most——He Guiren and Wang Meiren!

The identities and backgrounds of the two are similar, and neither is the daughter of a wealthy family.

He Guiren's name is He Lian, and her biological father was a butcher, who died of illness long ago.

The biological mother also has no background, because she gave birth to the prince "Ben", the biological mother was named "Wuyang Lord". She has a half-brother He Jin, who inherited his father's business and became a butcher!

At the same time, he has a half-brother He Miao and a half-sister He Mei.

All in all, the relationship between the He family is in chaos.

And the emperor Liu Hong likes this kind of people without background.

The situation of Wang Meiren is similar. Her name is Wang Rong, and her background is not high. Because she is quite favored, her father was named a general with five senses, and she is not a high-ranking official.

In Liu Hong's view, pampering such a noble and beautiful woman is not easy to be coerced, and it is not easy to fall into the reincarnation of "foreign relatives" rising and dominating the court again. This is what he likes to hear!
However, the facts have proved that the Emperor Liu Hong's thoughts on this matter are simple.

"His Majesty…"

Liu Hong originally planned to ask Zhang Rang to inform Wang Meiren to take a bath and change clothes. The emperor is in a good mood tonight...

Suddenly the door was pushed, Jian Shuo staggered and fell in, and sat down on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

Liu Hong rolled his eyes.

"What's the matter? In such a hurry?"

"It's the eldest son of the emperor..." Jian Shuo almost blurted out the words "the eldest son of the emperor", but seeing Zhang Rang beside Liu Hong, he immediately swallowed all the words that came out of his mouth.

Liu Hong understood and signaled Zhang Rang to back down.

For a while, only Liu Hong and Jian Shuo were left in the Qianqiu Long Live Hall.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Liu Hong glanced at Jian Shuo in disgust, blaming him for acting like he had never seen the world.

Jian Shuo quickly stood up and bowed, still out of breath and unable to speak.

Liu Hong didn't speak either, and waited patiently for his mood to calm down.

Jian Shuo was absent-minded and gasping for breath. The candlelight in the Hall of Long Live Qianqiu reflected his sweat. It took him a long time before he calmed down.

"Your Majesty, it was the emperor's eldest son and the Hebei Zhen family who joined forces to hoard horses a year ago!"

Is this a thing?
Liu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jian Shuo mentioned this a few days ago.

It was Zhengdan day, and Liu Hong was frowning because of the emptiness of the national treasury. Zhang Rang proposed to follow the example of the previous dynasty by "selling officials to sell nobles". Liu Hong wanted to order immediately, but Jian Shuo put forward a different view.

It is said that the eldest son of the emperor had resold the Hu Qi before, taking advantage of the rumors in the palace, and made a lot of money.

Later, he joined forces with the Hebei Wuji Zhen family to hoard a batch of fine horses.

Pearls and jade are in the front, since horses can make a lot of money, so...will the price of good horses also skyrocket?
Liu Hong is very interested in this.

Therefore, he postponed his plans to open the West Mansion and sell his officials and nobles, and decided to wait and see!
Can…

today...

Jian Shuo is a little restless now!
Is it...

Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.

"But the price of good horses on the market has increased?"

"As Your Majesty said, it's just that... it's not a price increase, but a tenfold increase!" Jian Shuo hurriedly said, "Before, in the Kanto region, the price of a good horse was only around 200,000 yuan, but now... A fine horse can be sold for [-] cash!"

call…

When he heard numbers like "ten times" and "200,000", Liu Hong's eyes widened in an instant, a little dumbfounded.

You know, this emperor...he was used to being poor since he was a child!
His mother, Dong Shi, was also notoriously greedy for money.

He has been obsessed with it since he was a child... He is extremely sensitive to numbers and coins, and he is particularly keen.

This time... the spread of measurement units such as "ten times" and "200,000" is undoubtedly not a violent impact on Liu Hong's heart.

Of course, he also thought that because he set up the official title of '騄骨块东', the price of horses would rise appropriately!
But the increase of "ten times" was still far beyond his expectations.

What's even more frightening is that the official title of "騄吉炒丰" was only proposed in the twelfth lunar month, and it was only implemented on the first day of the lunar year.

Then...

Yu'er, how did he predict it in advance?

What kind of insight is needed to predict changes in the market?

"Cough cough..."

After the short cough, Liu Hong asked eagerly: "How many good horses have Yu'er and the Wuji Zhen family hoarded together?"

"More than [-] horses..." Jian Shuo didn't think about it. The reason why he was shocked to the point of lingering fear was not because the price of horses had skyrocketed by ten times, but because of these more than [-] good horses!
Obedient…

More than a thousand horses!

According to 40 yuan per horse, it will cost 50 million yuan to buy it, and at least [-] million yuan if the cost of breeding is included.

This is a huge risk!

But now, these are not important anymore!
The important thing is that according to the current price of 200,000 a horse, the proceeds from the sale of these more than [-] good horses will be nearly [-] million yuan!

And Wang Fu, Cao Jie, and Cao Song have been greedy for ink for decades...

The proceeds from the confiscation were only [-] million yuan, and counting the ones that were handed over voluntarily, it was just as good as the [-] good horses!

This is horrible!

After all, Jian Shuo, who has seen the big world, can't imagine this number.

The eldest son of the emperor hoarded so much that he was making a lot of money!

However, he Jian Shuo was terrified, shocked, and terrified when he heard it!

If it weren't for the accurate information, Jian Shuo would have wondered if he was still living in a dream?
No wonder Jian Shuo acted like he had never seen the world.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, low-yield fields cost only [-] yuan per mu, and fields with irrigation facilities cost [-] yuan per mu. Even the best fields cost no more than [-] yuan per mu.

Forty million dollars?This is tens of thousands of acres of land!

Besides, the average price of slaves is only about [-] yuan, and no matter how beautiful they are, and no matter how delicate their skin is, it does not exceed [-] yuan.

Converted to buying slaves, it is enough to buy [-] slaves!
As for the price of the house, the average house is expensive, only [-] yuan!
It is not a big problem to buy all the houses in Luoyang City with this money!

According to the purchasing power of 50 yuan in the late Han Dynasty, it is equivalent to the purchasing power of 150 yuan and RMB in later generations!These 200,000 good horses, based on [-] horses, are equivalent to twelve "small goals" for later generations!

(For the conversion process, see the end of the chapter!)

"Gudong..."

On the other hand, Emperor Liu Hong swallowed almost reflexively.

His chest rose and fell, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He stared at Jian Shuo in disbelief, and actually felt a buzzing in his head.

You Yuer...

Has Yuer's business acumen?

What about the "Xi Di" who also opened a hammer, and the official who sold a hammer?

Just ask, Emperor Shihuang, Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu, Emperor Hui, and Emperor Huan, they sell officials and nobles... are they faster than selling "horses"?
For a moment, Liu Hong's eyes flickered...

Thinking of the name "Yu'er" again, what he thought of was not only the words "Emperor's eldest son", but... "God of Wealth"!

He, Liu Hong, gave birth to a... God of Wealth!

He even tried to remember...

Could it be that when Yu'er was born, colorful auspicious clouds descended from the sky?Yu'er is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, right?
this moment…

In front of huge money, this emperor who has a special hobby and obsession with money...has the urge to kneel down!

——Anyone is fine if you don’t kneel!

——God of Wealth, we have to kneel!

...

...

Ps: It can be verified that it was 1 yuan for 50 Shimi when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was in power;
汉代1石等于4钧，30斤为1钧，1石既120斤，汉代的1斤等于后世的0.5斤，1石等于今天的30千克；

According to this calculation, the purchasing power of 50 coins in the late Han Dynasty is approximately equal to the purchasing power of 150 yuan;

One coin at the end of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to three yuan in later generations.

It is hereby explained for the convenience of everyone to understand.

If you sell an official title, Jiuqing high-ranking official for 2000 shi, and sell it for 2000 million yuan, it is equivalent to spending 6000 million yuan to buy a high-ranking official and real-time minister in future generations!

——It's so terrifying!
