The last three kingdoms

Chapter 513
The reason why Liu Yin left an address for Shi Chong yesterday was that he wanted to get in touch with Shi Chong in the future and borrow Shi Chong's relationship in the Luoyang court. Although Shi Chong's status is not high now, his father Shi Bao is He is the general Zhengdong, the governor of Yangzhou, the real frontier official, and he can be regarded as a pivotal figure in the Cao Wei Dynasty. Being able to establish a relationship with Shi Chong can more or less provide help for Liu Yin's eastward journey this time.

The acquaintance with Shi Chong on the way was also purely by chance. Seeing the robbers robbing the road, Liu Yin really showed his bravery, but in the end Liu Yin knew that it was Shi Chong who saved him, so it was a bit ridiculous. .

The Shi Chong that Liu Yin knew was the number one robber in the Jin Dynasty, and he was a high-ranking robber.When Shi Bao died, he only distributed the family property to his five sons, except Shi Chong. Shi Chong's mother begged Shi Bao, but Shi Bao said: "Don't think that Qi Nu is young, in the future he will be rich enough to surpass the enemy. "

Shi Chong was born in Qingzhou, so he was called Qi Nu by his baby name. There is no better way to know a son than a father. Shi Bao really saw Shi Chong through.Later, Shi Chong was really wealthy. The story of Shi Chong and Wang Kai's fight for wealth is recorded in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu·Tai Luxury". Shi Chong built a luxurious manor in the capital Luoyang. There are more than 100 concubines alone. The man's head and hands are shining with golden light. Wang Kai is the uncle of Guwu Emperor Sima Yan. He has become a super rich man through corruption and bribery through his nepotism with the emperor.The two were not convinced by each other, each showed their special abilities, and publicly fought for wealth: Wang Kai used maltose to cook the pot, and Shi Chong used candles as firewood; It forms a beautiful corridor; Wang Kai used pepper flour to mud the house, and Shi Chong used red stone resin as paint...

Wang Kai was no match for Shi Chong, so he had to ask Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan for help. Sima Yan immediately gave Wang Kai a two-foot-high coral. Say no, took out an iron ruler and smashed Wang Kai's coral to pieces.Of course Wang Kai couldn't be more angry, this was a gift from the emperor, but Shi Chong asked someone to bring out several corals, all of them were taller and more beautiful than Wang Kai's, Shi Chong asked Wang Kai to pick one at will as an apology.Wang Kai was dumbfounded, and since then he has given up the idea of ​​fighting for wealth with Shi Chong.

Where did Shi Chong's billions of dollars of wealth come from?It turned out that when he was the governor of Jingzhou, Shi Chong not only searched for people's aspirations through corruption and bribery, but also engaged in dirty robbery, allowing his subordinates to rob property and plunder.When some foreign envoys or businessmen passed through Jingzhou, Shi Chong sent his subordinates to extort money, and even openly murdered and robbed goods like Jiangyang robbers.Jingzhou is the belly of the world, with water and land hubs, and there are so many merchants coming and going. It is through this method that Shi Chong amassed a lot of wealth and became the leading rich man in the Jin Dynasty.

Not only Shi Chong, but the entire Jin Dynasty was immersed in arrogance and extravagance. On the one hand, indulgence and pleasure are the norm, and on the other hand, they advocate nothingness, blandness and mystery.

Of course, Shi Chong at this time was far from being rich enough to rival a country, but as the son of Shi Bao, the governor of Yangzhou and the general who conquered the East, Shi Chong had a detached status and enjoyed a certain popularity among the sons of the capital's aristocratic families. To Liu Yin's surprise, Shi Chong followed him just after he settled down.

"Please." Although Liu Yin didn't understand the reason for his visit, but he came to the door as a guest, and Liu Yin had no reason to refuse the door, so he immediately ordered the people below to welcome Shi Chong in.

Shi Chong has already changed his clothes and washed off the dust all over his body. At this moment, his face is radiant and elegant like jade. Liao Naifu's demeanor is even better than that.

"Brother Wen turned out to be the young master of Fuyuanju, no wonder he was so bold and disrespectful." Shi Chong said in amazement as soon as he came in.

On the way, thanks to Liu Yin's rescue, Shi Chong was safe and sound. Don't look at Shi Chongyi's cynical appearance, but he also knows the truth that he should repay the favor of dripping water with a spring, let alone Liu Yin. Yin's kindness is life-saving grace.After returning to Shifu, Shi Chong thought about it, wanting to make up for Liu Yin's kindness.

How to compensate Shi Chong made Shi Chong a little worried, let's talk about money, Shi Chong could see that Liu Yin spent a lot of money, and he was not short of money at all, so it was obviously inappropriate to reward him with a lot of money.

Shi Chong's eyes rolled, and he thought about it. Although Liu Yin is rich, he is also a white man, without any rank and position. If he can find a good official position for him, Shi Chong can also get it. kindness.

So Shi Chong paid a visit to several dignitaries in the court overnight. Shi Chong's position was low and his position was light, so of course he would not attract the attention of the dignitaries in the court, but Shi Chong was Shi Bao's son after all, and these dignitaries naturally had to sell their face to Shi Bao. .

What's more, Shi Chong's request was not too excessive, and it was not difficult to find an official position for Liu Yin, who was born as a commoner.

However, according to the current market conditions, no matter how low-status an official position is, it will cost at least several million dollars to obtain it, not to mention the decent and less-restricted positions mentioned by Shi Chong, at least tens of millions of dollars. possible.

It doesn't mean that the Shi family can't afford the money now, but Shi Chong is not yet a rich man, and the family has to pay for food and clothing. If the Shi family really wants to take the initiative to take the money, think about it. Heartache, that's why Shi Chongcai rushed over early in the morning, just to discuss this time with Liu Yin.

Although Liu Yin is not interested in Cao Wei's official career, if he can find an official position in the court, it will obviously be of great help to his eastward journey. The reason why Qingsong plays an important role in Luoyang Division is because Qingsong was able to fight After entering the state of Wei, he can continuously obtain extremely valuable information. If Liu Yin can also serve in the court this time, at least to a certain extent, he can no longer rely on Qingsong to provide information or can add a Sources of intelligence channels can mutually verify the accuracy of intelligence.

However, the clans in the Cao Wei Dynasty were very powerful, and they almost controlled the government. If Liu Yin wanted to infiltrate the power through the Shu Kingdom, it was obviously impossible. Now Shi Chong took the initiative to seek an official position for Liu Yin. Naturally, he would not refuse, even if the cost was more than [-] million, Liu Yin thought it was worth it.

"It doesn't matter how much money is. We are not short of money." Liu Yinyun said calmly, putting on an appearance of spending money like dirt, very casually, with the spirit of treating money as dung.
