The small dynasty is the court gathering of the three princes, nine ministers, and important officials with more than 2,000 shi. The big dynasty is the court meeting with officials with more than 1,000 shi.
Liu Feng calculated this amount of money and found that the three ministers and ministers could receive two hundred gold from each court meeting, which means that two hundred gold would be credited every five days.
One month is one thousand two hundred gold.
For ordinary people, this is definitely a huge sum of money. But for Cao Cao, who now holds great power, it is within the tolerance range.[
Compared with seizing the world, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Yes, Liu Feng seems to be collecting taxes like officials, but in fact he wants to take advantage of Cao Cao. He indirectly makes money from the treasury. Now that the treasury is managed by Cao Cao, even if Liu Xie wants to get a penny, he has to go through it.
Cao Cao agreed.
And Liu Feng showed his sword to all the officials, and he did this ridiculous thing. The ministers must have complained, so they gathered together to attack.
This will lead to a further decline in the prestige of the Han Dynasty and may lead to its collapse.
This is the subtlety. On the one hand, Cao Cao wanted to undermine Liu Xie's prestige, but he also didn't want Liu Xie to collapse. It was still the same condition, the battle between Yuan and Cao.
If the Han Dynasty supported by Cao Cao collapses, then Yuan Shao may establish another person as emperor in Hebei. This is what Cao Cao does not want to see.
It is impossible to cancel this ridiculous tax. As long as Liu Xie supports Liu Feng. Therefore, the most likely thing Cao Cao can do is to compromise and take money from the treasury himself to supplement it.
In addition, there is another point that is one of the reasons why Liu Feng is so confident.
Then Liu Feng is a puppet. Both Liu Feng and his son are puppets. They can't go anywhere. The money can't be eaten or disappear. For Cao Cao, Liu Feng's action may be to simply withdraw the money from the treasury.
Just take it out and put it in the palace.
After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and no longer had any scruples, he could take advantage of the opportunity to depose Liu Feng and thus obtain the gold that Liu Feng placed in the palace.
The money only flowed into Liu Feng's pocket temporarily. I believe that Cao Cao, with this consideration, would pay the tax readily.
Therefore, Liu Feng, who wears protective clothing and can do whatever he wants, has no reason not to make money. He will try his best to make money. And this is just Liu Feng's first step.
He will also sell off his titles on a large scale. Liu Feng has thought about this problem. In today's troubled times, one will either starve to death or starve to death. Some businessmen make a lot of war money, and they are rich in money. But businessmen have no status and long for status.
Mi Zhu is an example.
Mi Zhu was so comfortable in Xuzhou, with countless money and beauties. Why did she have to suffer with Liu Bei? Loyalty is one thing, but more importantly, she was optimistic about Liu Bei and wanted to move up.
There are many people like Mi Zhu. Therefore, it is definitely feasible for Liu Feng to sell his title. In addition, selling his title does not mean selling his official position. The title is fictitious and is a status symbol.
Officials have real power. As long as they sell their titles and not their positions, I believe Cao Cao can tolerate his nonsense. Before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao decide the winner.
If you want money, don't ask for fame; if you want power, don't worry about face.
This is Liu Feng’s current state.[
He risked everything and was not afraid of those who wore shoes. He accumulated money crazily and then accumulated strength in order to drive away Cao Cao and seize control of Xudu, thereby saving his life and standing in troubled times.
It may be a bit ridiculous to say that the current Liu Feng is not even qualified to stand in troubled times. He can only be regarded as a puppet, a pathetic puppet.
Only after gaining control of Xudu can we stand firm in troubled times and gain some ability to make our own decisions.
