"What?"
The county guard thought he heard wrongly and looked at Jiang Yifeng with wide eyes, "You...you want to use one hundred thousand taels of silver to earn one million taels of silver for me?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Yifeng smiled and nodded, and asked, "Sir, don't you believe that I have such ability?"
"I have seen your abilities before, so I naturally believe that you have such abilities."
The county guard paused for a moment and asked hesitantly: "It's just...how much time do you need to turn one hundred thousand taels of silver into one million taels of silver."
Jiang Yifeng pouted and said, "It depends on my conscience."
The county guard was startled, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Yifeng explained: "If I had more conscience, it would take more than half a year to earn one million taels of silver."
Half a year?
The Sheriff frowned, "What if you have no conscience?"
"Half a month!"
Jiang Yifeng smiled confidently and added, "At most half a month."
As soon as these words came out, the county guard opened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Jiang Yifeng, trying to see if Jiang Yifeng was lying to him.
However, judging from his countless experiences, Jiang Yifeng did not lie.
He can really make one million taels of silver in half a month.
hiss!
After reading this, the county guard took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jiang, can I ask more, how do you make one million taels of silver in half a month?"
"It's a business secret, I can't tell you."
Jiang Yifeng smiled politely at the county guard and excused himself.
Seeing this, the county guard was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "I don't have to ask this question, but I really want to know, given you a month, how much money can you make at most?"
"Why do you ask?"
With a cautious expression on his face, Jiang Yifeng reminded: "I only promise to give you one million taels of silver, and the extra silver is mine."
Hearing this, the county guard raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you earned more than one million taels of silver."
Damn it!
You spilled the beans!
Jiang Yifeng twitched his mouth and answered truthfully: "In one month, I can indeed earn more than one million taels, but the extra money should have nothing to do with you, right?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with me."
The county guard looked at the cautious Jiang Yifeng and smiled gently, "However, if you can provide me with more money, I can recommend you to someone."
Jiang Yifeng raised his hand and refused, "Even if you recommend me to the gods in the sky, it won't be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so... I won't do it."
The county guard was unhurried, "You will definitely agree to this person I mentioned, do you believe it or not?"
"Do not believe!"
Jiang Yifeng rolled his eyes at the traitorous county guard and shook his head contemptuously.
It's not that he doesn't trust the governor, it's that he feels that there is no one in this world worth spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to get to know.
It should be understood that even if he was such a big official as the county governor, when he got to know him, he only used a piece of stone.
That is to say, he was willing to spend 600,000 taels of silver because he needed the county governor as his backer.
"What if the person I'm talking about is today?"
As the governor spoke, he looked at Jiang Yifeng playfully.
"Today!"
Jiang Yifeng took a sharp breath, widened his eyes, and stuttered and asked: "You... you said... you want... to recommend me to the emperor?"
There was no such title as emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The one who was above the throne was revered as the Son of Heaven. Together they were called the Son of Heaven.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not comparable to the Emperor of Zhou in the previous Zhou Dynasty. The authority of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was equal to that of the emperors of later generations, and he was a supreme existence.
"That's right!"
The governor looked very satisfied with Jiang Yifeng's expression and nodded with a smile.
"I do not believe."
Jiang Yifeng swallowed, "Even if you are the head of a county, you can't just take me to see Emperor Zhou."
The county guard smiled and asked, "What if I am still the emperor's uncle?"
"Are you from the Great Zhou clan?"
Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened again.
He never thought that this hypocritical, cunning, and ungrateful old fox in front of him would be the uncle of Emperor Zhou, that is, the great Zhou clan.
The Dazhou clan is a real noble, and Dazhou gives them a lot of money every year.
However, in order to limit the influence of the Great Zhou clan on the court, the Great Zhou clan was rarely allowed to serve as officials.
Even if you are an official, the requirements are very strict. It is not easy to achieve the position of county guard.
No wonder the county governor was very cautious in everything he did in Su City. For the sake of the peace of Jiujiang County, even those families did not dare to offend.
Otherwise, even with the stones that bitch Song Shoucai sends every year, he cannot be forgiven.
"The Great Zhou clan has almost become a joke."
A wry smile appeared on the corner of the county governor's mouth, and he continued: "Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is full of holes. Many clans want to help, but they are restricted by the ancestral law. There are very few officials in the Great Zhou clan."
"clear!"
Jiang Yifeng nodded.
On the surface, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still very strong.
But those at the top know that Dazhou is like a castle in the air, and it is already crumbling.
Although most of the clans are just waiting to die, there are also many clans that have the foresight to change the current situation of Great Zhou.
This kind of situation has happened in all dynasties, but unfortunately few of them have really succeeded.
the reason is simple……
When a dynasty is completely decayed from within, it is not something that a few individuals can change. It must undergo a large-scale reform before it can be brought back to life.
The county guard looked at Jiang Yifeng and said, "I will recommend you to Emperor Zhou. How about you spend more money?"
This time, Jiang Yifeng did not refuse.
Because he was thinking about what benefits Emperor Zhou could bring to him.
After thinking for a few seconds, he asked: "Will you only recommend me to Emperor Zhou without making any guarantees?"
"There are no guarantees."
The county guard said one word at a time: "I will only let you see the emperor. As for how far you can go, it is your own business."
Jiang Yifeng asked: "How is Emperor Zhou's temper? Is it easy to get along with him?"
The county guard said expressionlessly: "I don't know."
have no idea?
You just don’t fucking want to say it.
Jiang Yifeng pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "Is the Emperor Zhou very short of money?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for the governor to speak, and continued: "Don't say you don't know. If you can sit in this position, you must know whether Emperor Zhou is short of money."
After hearing this, the county guard was stunned for a few seconds, nodded and said: "Yes, Emperor Zhou is very short of money, otherwise he would not be able to default on three years of military pay."
"Then I agree!"
Jiang Yifeng grinned and said, "Emperor Zhou is short of money, and I just know how to make money. I believe we will hit it off."
Hit it off right away?
The county guard couldn't help but look at Jiang Yifeng a few more times, but said nothing.
