Chapter 102 Your Majesty’s reward? Huo Guang’s real estate plan

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised in an exaggerated manner.

As we all know.

One of the things Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to do most was to "slaughter" these wealthy businessmen.

But these wealthy businessmen are all cunning. Whenever Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has some new policies to be introduced, before they are announced here, the profiteers over there will learn about them.

Then.

There are policies and measures to counter.

Unless Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shows his face and refuses, there is really nothing we can do against these profiteers.

now.

Huo Guang proposed the method of officials taking the lead in donating money.

This gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty some ideas.

I just heard Liu Che murmuring faintly: "You mean, officials' money must be paid back in full?"

Huo Guang immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, officials will take the lead in donating money, and then wealthy businessmen will follow suit. We can use wealthy businessmen's donations for disaster relief, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. After all, it is for

Disaster relief!"

However.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled slightly and said: "In my opinion, the officials' money should not be returned in full, but should be used for disaster relief together!"

"This group of officials dared to jointly block my platinum coin policy at the court meeting today!"

"Nothing to say!"

"I not only want them to donate money, but I also want them to applaud me."

When Huo Guang heard this, he was dumbfounded. He sighed in his heart that the Han emperor in front of him had a darker heart than himself!

Why don't you just give the money back to those officials, and you still want to be applauded?

All right!

Perhaps, this is the emperor in ancient times.

After sighing a little in his heart, Huo Guang analyzed it with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, if the officials' money is not returned in full, then it will be difficult for them to do such things in the future."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't mind at all, he waved his hand directly and said: "Then just think of other ways!"

"promise."

Huo Guang had no choice but to follow His Majesty's wishes.

At this moment.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang, his eyes full of joy, and directly praised him in front of all his ministers: "Huo Yilang is still smart!"

"Look at you lieutenants, you are all very clever at ordinary times, but when it comes time for you to think of a solution, you are all dumb!"

"I am a minister, but I don't understand the king's confusion!"

"What's the use of you guys?"

For a while.

Close ministers such as Sang Hongyang, Han Shuo, Jiao Cang and others had no choice but to lower their heads, looking a little embarrassed.

At this time.

Only Dongfang Shuo, an old man, didn't feel that the emperor was talking about him anymore, and even agreed: "Yes, although Huo Yilang is young, he is very smart and different from ordinary people. I wonder if your majesty would like to propose such a clever plan this time."

Where is the reward for Huo Yilang?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a good mood at the moment. When he heard Dongfang Shuo's words, he immediately glared at him and said, "If you are not crazy, your intelligence is no worse than others!"

"As for the reward, I already know it, so I don't need you to mention it."

The words fell.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately looked at Huo Guang and asked, "Huo Guang, I think your suggestion is very good this time!"

"Say it!"

"Whatever reward you want, I will give it to you."

Hearing Liu Che's words, Huo Guang was suddenly shocked.

Your Majesty said it.

Are you going to give yourself any reward you want?

Or are you asking what reward you want?

If it’s the former!

Wouldn't it be nice to fly up?

immediately!

Huo Guang said directly: "Your Majesty, I want four very large pieces of land outside Chang'an City.

If Your Majesty feels that I am asking for too much, then I will not own this land and just give me the right to develop it."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard about the reward Huo Guang wanted, he was a little confused.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty generally gave rewards to his ministers in the form of fine currency such as gold.

For example, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing returned from a victorious battle a few years ago. In addition to the title of marquis, the rewards he gave were ten thousand gold and five thousand gold.

Want land?

It’s quite rare!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Huo Guang, why do you want land? Even though I gave Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others the title of marquis, I didn't give them any land!"

manor?

When Huo Guang saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had misunderstood, he immediately explained: "Your Majesty, I want to enclose the land outside Chang'an, and I am not asking you for a fief."

"and!"

"What I did was not for myself, but for Your Majesty!"

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, so be careful at all times.

no way.

If you want to get along with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, you can't do it without some acting skills.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Huo Guang's words showing a hint of sincerity, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Aren't you asking for land? Why do you say it's for me?"

Huo Guang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, now in Chang'an City, the three public officials, nine ministers, civil and military ministers all have residences and gardens."

"But Chang'an is only that big."

"If people from behind want to move in, there will be no room for them. Unless officials are arrested and their homes are confiscated, there will be no room left to build new houses."

"His Majesty."

"Think about it, if one of the three officials and nine ministers makes a small mistake and is simply dismissed from his post, his family property will not be confiscated. If the next person takes office, he can't even have a place to stay in Chang'an City, right?"

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he felt that this was correct and nodded.

But this time.

The attendant Sang Hongyang heard the problem and said: "According to what Huo Yilang said, the problem still exists. Chang'an City is so big. What you want is the land outside. You can't. Just expand the city wall."

?That is not a simple matter."

After hearing this.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded again, agreed with what Sang Hongyang said, and echoed: "What Sang Shizhong said is reasonable. Huo Yilang, it's useless for you to want the land outside!"

However.

Huo Guang replied: "Your Majesty, please give me paper, ink, pen and inkstone. This matter cannot be explained by words alone. I can draw it for Your Majesty."

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was puzzled by Huo Guang's statement.

But he still followed what he said and asked people to bring him paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and even asked the palace maid to grind the ink for him.

After Huo Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while, he immediately started drawing on the paper, and a mini map of Chang'an appeared on the paper.

After looking at it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty praised repeatedly: "Your painting skills are quite good, but what does the appearance of Chang'an have to do with what you are talking about?"

Huo Guang then said: "Your Majesty, please be patient. I have only painted the central area. There is still a large part behind that I have not painted."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this.

He was immediately surprised at how many years he had been staying in Chang'an City.

Not to mention every tree and plant is clear.

At least I have a rough outline, I know it.

Isn't Chang'an City just that big?

Is there anything left that hasn’t been drawn?

While Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thinking this, Huo Guang continued painting again.

this time.

He painted a city that he had never seen before in four places on the east, west, south and north sides of Chang'an City.
