Among the vast crowd, Liu Deng held a thick bet in his hand and read it over and over with great pleasure, until his mouth watered.
Now he had a great victory, it was all money!
The total amount is nearly 10 million yuan. Although this money will be divided among the prince, Tang Yihou and others, the remaining money is enough for Liu Deng to squander it freely for a long time.
It seems that when I return to the city this time, I have to bring back hundreds of carts of copper coins. It is really inconvenient to not have a bank these days. It would be great if there was a bank!
When he thought of this, Liu Deng suddenly felt something in his heart.
bank!
Yes, this is really an excellent money-making business.
But if you think about it carefully, now is indeed not the time. Although he is very influential to the emperor now, this influence is not enough to promote the development of the bank.
The most important thing is that the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion is about to break out. The conflicts between the Seven Kingdoms and the imperial court are irreconcilable. The emperor wants to strengthen centralization of power. How can those princes surnamed Liu hand over their properties to the emperor?
As the saying goes, rice rises with kindness and rice hates. Although in the final analysis, these things were given by Liu Bang, and now they only get back part of the governance power. However, it is easy to eat it in the stomach, but how can it be so easy to spit it out again? matter?
When thinking of this, Liu Deng still felt a little regretful that such a good idea could not be used now, but that was just right.
After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion is over and Emperor Jing comes to power, he can manage his own power well.
Although he will probably lose part of the power to govern the country by then, Liu Deng, who has traveled from later generations, is not very interested in that thing.
He was originally a second-rate man. What he wanted most was to eat and wait for death every day, sleep until he woke up naturally, count money until his hands cramped, and then have three or two beauties come to him, and live his own life in a carefree way. Isn't he delicious? ?
Think about the days he lived before. For the sake of the poor people in Dai State, he would draw pictures until late at night every day, and don't even think about sleeping in in the morning. As long as he dared to be lazy, he might be killed by that old guy Zhang Tu at any time. He was pressed to the ground and given an injection.
If those Huns hadn't come to harass him every year, Liu Deng wouldn't even bother to bother with these troops.
He was originally a common man. He could sit and never stand. He could lie down and never sit. If he were allowed to be a free prince who only took money and did not work, I am afraid he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
Seeing Liu Deng's disgusting look, the ministers next to him all looked at each other angrily, especially Wang and his wife, who were all really itching with hatred.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang now hate this bastard Yang Sheng with all his heart. What he said at the time was so true, but now it seems that it is all fucking bullshit!
"Brother-in-law, you have made a lot of money this time. Can't your marriage be postponed any longer?"
Looking at the thick bet in Liu Deng's hand, Dou Pengzu was really greedy. After he got closer, he whispered in Liu Deng's ear.
"Well, I'm still observing my filial piety, why don't we talk about it later?"
Liu Deng felt his scalp go numb at the thought of marrying a fifteen-year-old girl.
How could he, who had grown up under the red flag, accept such a thing?
In this day and age, there are no reasonable contraceptive methods. If you let her get pregnant at this age, what is the difference between that and sending her to death?
"That makes sense, but you are quite young. If this matter drags on any longer, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, brother. Since the marriage has been decided, it will be done sooner or later. I, Liu Deng, am by no means a person who always gives up!"
Liu Deng was also very helpless about this marriage. This mother-in-law was personally selected by the Queen Mother Dou, and it was a political marriage in order to tie herself to the Dou family.
Even if I lend him a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to refuse directly...
If the old man is hated because of this incident, I'm afraid he won't be able to live a good life in the next few decades.
This old man was the birthday boy of the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, he first tortured his husband to death, then his son, and finally waited until his grandson reached adulthood before passing away. Even in later generations, he will not die. It can be considered a longevity.
"Since everyone has no objections, where is the acting king Liu Deng?"
No matter what, no one can take away Liu Deng’s contribution this time.
In the past nearly a hundred years, the Han Dynasty had fought against the Huns and had never won such a brilliant victory. No matter what reward Liu Deng received, it would not be an exaggeration.
"My lord, Liu Deng is here!"
"Liu Deng, the acting king, with the dignity of a prince, risked his own life to win such a great victory for our Han family. He was rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of gold, one million taels of silver, and one million copper coins. He also gave the emperor a banner and erected a monument in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. To remember his merits!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After all, this is also his grandson. Liu Heng is very pleased with Liu Deng now. If he had not already established a prince, he would even have some considerations. Can this kid also consider it?
However, this idea was immediately dismissed by himself. The prince is the crown prince of the country, how could he do anything?
"Guan Fu listens to the title! Confer Guan Fu the title of Marquis of Yingchuan, and enfeoff 3,000 households south of the Yingshui River as food towns! Rewards of 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 100,000 guan of copper coins, and thousands of hectares of fertile land. He is still under the command of King Dai. !”
Become a marquis in one battle!
After hearing the emperor's reward, everyone was stunned, including countless officials. Casting an envious look at Guan Fu...
The eyes of the generals in the court are much more complicated. Many of them have wasted most of their lives, and until now, they have not even seen the shadow of the Marquis. As for Guan Fu, he has just After fighting in a small village, he was immediately granted the title of Marquis...
"My lord, thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Guan Fu was extremely excited. Although he was very excited, Liu Deng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Guan Fu is still under his command after all. With Guan Fu as an example, of course Li Guang will still be under his command.
But this made Shen Tujia alert. Logically speaking, after Guan Fu was granted the title of minister, he should be under the command of the court, but the emperor still put him under the command of the acting king Liu Deng, which had to make people feel uncomfortable. Thoughtful...
Thinking about the movements of Prince Liang in the recent period, Shen Tujia suddenly realized that the emperor in front of him seemed to have begun to play a big game...
"Li Guang listened to the title and made Li Guang the Marquis of Chengji. He designated three thousand households in Longyou Chengji as food towns. He was rewarded with one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand copper coins, and thousands of hectares of fertile land. He was under the command of the great king Liu Deng. Listen and use it!”
Another prince!
Everyone's hearts twitched, but Shen Tujia secretly made up his mind, damn, it seems that this time he is going to completely draw a clear line with Liu Bi and the others.
