Three Kingdoms

One cannot be too famous.

Pigs cannot be too strong.

Although humans and pigs are naturally different, the results are similar.

When Kong Rong became famous, the Kong family did a lot of things through Kong Rong's name and got a lot of conveniences. However, when something happened to Kong Rong, those Kong family members who had benefited originally, But it was silent, as if they were all asleep, half dead and not even showing their faces.

Anyway, it’s just to catch Kong Rong...

Then there is no problem.

A thin sound sounded when the dust dispersed.

"Kong Wenju is a good man..."

"Yes, he is a good man. 』

"So he will bear all the blame and won't implicate us, right?" 』

"What are you talking about?" You shouldn’t doubt Kong Wenju! Think about it, Kong Wenju didn't even fear the crime of beheading back then. Now... he can only pay some money, so how can he have anything to do with us? 』

"Yes, yes, I made a mistake..."

"Kong Wenju, what a good man!" 』

"That's right, a good man..."

"But he shouldn't..."

"Oh...what a pity..."

To be a good person, sacrifice.

There are so many things that good people have to face. Even a neutral leverage player may cause the good people to collapse directly.

As long as a good person does one bad thing, he will be criticized by thousands of people and despised by thousands of people. Just like if you don't wear a high-end mask on a bus, but just wear an ordinary mask, you will be scolded as being immoral, illegal, and will be arrested...

Then the gangster might spread his hands and say, it’s none of my business. I just said a few words. What’s wrong? Can't people leave comments yet?

The rest of the good guys were silent, saying that it was okay to support silently, but no one wanted to get angry.

As for the bad guys...

In one sentence, Master Confucius said, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good.

Some people may think this standard is unfair, but in fact from the perspective of the ruler, it is actually fair. Because when a good person wants to do a bad thing and a bad person wants to do a good thing, the price is often the same. A good person does a bad thing and a bad person does a good thing, which all represent the shift of the camp. Once the camp shifts, the fatal damage it receives is not from the hostile party, but from the same camp. internal.

When a good person does a bad thing, the last straw for the good person is mostly from within the good person. Similarly, when a bad person wants to do a good thing and stabs the knife in the back, the one he hates the most is also Also within the bad guys.

Is Kong Rong a good person?

He's not a bad guy.

At least Kong Rong was not like those corrupt officials who imposed excessive taxes and harmed the people. He changed orders day and night just for the fun of teasing the head of Guizhou. He's just a bit stubborn at studying and a bit incompetent, so he shouldn't be considered a bad person.

But now, Kong Rong was arrested.

The reason is that Kong Rong did a "bad thing".

After all, being a descendant of Saint Kong, what a glorious thing this is...

With such an honor, how can you not cherish it?

If I have such glory, I will definitely do what I want, what I will do...

Probably so.

There are too many people in this world who are easily jealous.

Such as Lu Hong.

To be honest, Lu Hong never thought that Xi Liu would really dare to attack Kong Rong. After all, Kong Rong was also a representative of the Shandong gentry, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a banner of the opposition party. He was almost the same as the Pan family of Zhongmu. There’s just no comparison, but now you’re taking action?

Still so simple and crude, not lubricated at all...

Regarding this matter, Lu Hong shook his head and sighed, people nowadays are really in a declining world, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!

Then Lu Hong thought, could he also participate in such an unobstructed conference and have fun?

It’s free prostitution, how wonderful!

So Lu Hong found Zhao Da.

Zhao Da, like Lu Hong, is a school official.

People always like to find people who are similar to themselves and have similar personalities. As Lu Hong is a school official, most of his friends are naturally school officials. Moreover, these school officials, like Lu Hong, were from poor families and were specially promoted by Cao Cao. They were originally intended to be a force to counter those noble families.

It's just a pity that, just like the supervisory agencies of the Han Dynasty, blood alone cannot last long. Once penetrated, it will be corrupted faster than ordinary officials...

Lu Hong is like this, and Zhao Da is the same. For both of them, father and mother are not as close as Qian. After all, if his parents couldn't give him things, he could get them with money.

For Lu Hong and Zhao Da, what they are most concerned about is Cao Cao. After all, their authority comes from Cao Cao. They are extremely concerned about every little disturbance, just like the Kong Rong incident that suddenly broke out this time. Lu Hong and Zhao Da sensed whether the wind direction had changed.

Zhao Da sat next to Lu Hong, laughing with him. He personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Hong, and then said softly: "Brother Lu, there are very bad rumors about you in Yingchuan... saying that you are..."

"What did you say about me?" ” Lu Hong picked up the tea cup.

"Say you are "raised by your maidservant"..." Zhao Da said softly.

Lu Hong shook his cup and the tea spilled on his fingers, "Damn it!" 』

Lu Hong was so angry that he couldn't even drink the tea, so he put the tea cup back on the table. Yes, Lu Hong was born in a side branch. In other words, he was born a concubine, which is better than a maid, but not much better. After all, many maids came to power only after the spring breeze had passed.

"The main reason is that these people are jealous when they look at Brother Lu..." Zhao Da said softly, "Brother Lu has the Lord's attention, and they have no choice but to slander him behind his back..."

Lu Hong snorted, secretly noted this matter, and then prepared to find out who was responsible for this. He would definitely have to deal with it by then.

"The most important thing now is the Lord..." Zhao Da continued, "As long as we prove our abilities to the Lord, we don't have to worry about these rumors..."

"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"

Lu Hong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he rubbed his hand on the table, "Oh, so, does Zhao Xiandi have any good ideas?" 』

The previous cleanup of the Pan family in Zhongmou could only be regarded as a slight restoration of the face of the school officials, but the Pan family in Zhongmou was undoubtedly too small. Even after Lu Hong dug deep, he could not eat a few taels of meat.

Zhao Da leaned forward, "This is not obvious...Kong..."

Zhao Da said that after careful analysis, he believed that if Kong Rong was to be fine this time, he would have to bleed heavily.

When a pig is fattened, it should be killed, and this pig has been raised for hundreds of years. It can be said to be the god among pigs. If it is not a part of the fun and is just some fat, then what is the value of school affairs?

Lu Hong nodded, but he still had some concerns. After all, Kong and Pan had different body sizes. If they couldn't eat pork and were bitten by pigs, it would be unsightly.

Zhao Da thought that this time Xi Liu took the initiative to ask Ying to gnaw on Kong Rong's fat meat. In addition to being eager to perform meritorious services, he probably knew something about it. In fact, there was no big danger.

"how do I say this? 』Lu Hong finally had some energy. He had just returned from Zhongmu, and he was not very familiar with some of the subtle changes that had taken place in Yingchuan.

"This matter... it's best if it can be taken down. It doesn't matter if it can't be taken down. The important thing is that Kong Wenju talks too much. Sometimes problems may arise if you don't know what he said..." Zhao Da looked at Lu Hong, " This is a critical moment... There are really not many officials who are loyal to the imperial court, especially Jane in the emperor's heart..."

Lu Hong suddenly thought, "So, what bad things did Kong Wenju say about his lord?" Just like the Xu Ziyuan from before? 』

Zhao Da laughed and nodded, "Although I don't know exactly what it is, but I heard... it's almost..."

"So..." Lu Hong also smiled, "Can you give it a try?" 』

"right! Give it a try! ” Zhao Da also laughed. After all, Lu Hong had really taken action in Zhongmu before, and he was considered a ruthless figure in school affairs, so if he wanted to cooperate, of course he had to find someone with strong abilities.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then raised their teacups in unison, signaled, and drank together.

After chatting for a while, Lu Hong decided to cooperate with Zhao Da, and some things could be said, but his face showed a bit of sadness, and he let out a long sigh.

Zhao Da looked at Lu Hong's face and asked tentatively: "Brother Lu... what are you worried about?" Brother Lu, you and I know each other very well, so if you have anything to say, it’s okay to say it. As long as I can help Brother Lu do it, I will do whatever it takes to do it, no matter how hard it is! 』

After hearing this, Lu Hong's eyes flickered and he said in a nonchalant way, "What's going on? It's just some miscellaneous goods. I have a lot of affairs here and I don't have time to take action..."

Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, then moved closer and said in a softer voice, "But...a good horse?" 』

Lu Hong coughed lightly and said nothing, but he didn't deny it either.

Zhao Da's eyes suddenly lit up, but he also immediately realized that this thing was hot. However, my hands are hot and my heart is hot. This good horse is like a living and moving money bag!

"I do know the way..." Zhao Da said softly, "But this tap... I'm afraid it's a bit high..."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Hong asked: "How much?" 』

"June 4th." ” Zhao Da said.

Lu Hong was startled, "It takes 40%, which is really a bit..."

Zhao Da shook his head, "No, it's 60%." 』

"ha! " Lu Hong just wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but then he saw that Zhao Da didn't look like he was telling a joke, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be that there's something to this? 』

"Safety. ” Zhao Da said softly, “Keep it safe. 』

Lu Hong's eyes lit up, "Who is it?" Could it be the Xiahou family? No, no, I'm afraid the Xiahou family...is that the Cao family's? 』

Zhao Da chuckled and said nothing, but he didn't deny it either.

Lu Hong pondered for a while and smacked his lips. Although it is true that 60% is a bit much, since it is Cao's way, it must be safer than finding other vendors. After all, for people within Cao's, it may be just one more check mark on the books, or maybe It is to modify a number, but for other traders who have no way out, they may face inspection and the risk of being discovered.

Thinking of this, Lu Hong agreed, saying that in two days he would send over the good horse he had secretly captured from the Pan family in Zhongmou for trading. However, when he thought of the huge commission, Lu Hong felt uncomfortable. Not that happy...

He was busy trying to get some money at the risk of losing his head. As a result, some people could make a lot of money by just sitting still and moving their pens a little. Comparing the top and bottom, Lu Hong felt that he You simply don’t deserve to be this official! I put my head in my waistband to come up with a good deal in Zhongmou, thinking I was making a lot of money, but how many times have I done this, I still can’t keep up with what others are doing casually!

Zhao Da seemed to have noticed Lu Hong's thoughts, and sighed quietly from the side, "There is no way, in this world... I used to think that making hundreds or thousands of dollars was enough, but I'm afraid it would be too much." I can't bear it, I can't eat it... As a result, Brother Lu, guess what, some people can make tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions just by touching their lips! It can't be compared, it can't be compared! 』

Lu Hong turned around, first expressed his gratitude to Zhao Da, and once again agreed to share the remaining 40% with Zhao Da, and then said: "The tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions you just mentioned, Are you talking about the Xiahou family? 』

"How did you..." Zhao Da said half of it, and then he reacted, but he didn't deny it, but asked, "Is it possible that you also know?" 』

Lu Hong nodded, "This money belongs to the court... But what about this money? What will the court use it for?" To resist Guanzhong... To resist Guanzhong, you need to build a military stronghold, purchase equipment, have money, food, war horses, and have swords, guns, and armor? This is all money..."

As long as the money is used to prevent Guanzhong and Feiqian, rather than spending it elsewhere, such as building canals, smoothing roads, planting trees, digging them up, digging them up again, planting them, pulling them up, pulling them up, etc. If you get up and plant again, you will be worthy of the court and the prime minister!

In fact, for example, how much does it cost to build a small military camp?

No money required!

Why not spend money?

The manpower is the kind of civilians who are recruited for labor service, and the kind is the kind where they provide their own rations within three days, and they cost no money at all!

ha? Three days later? Change the batch after three days!

This young Zhi... bah, Lin... bah, it's a labor service, isn't it just to save money on rations?

There is no need to spend money on stone and wood. They are everywhere, and you can just let the laborers dig and pull them.

Then, aren’t the nails, hammers, shovels and other tools consumed that come from warehouses in counties and counties? Once it's used up and thrown away, it will be ruined in the books of the county and can no longer be used. Then let the county go to the court to apply for it. Why do you need to spend extra money to purchase it?

So for such a small-scale military camp, how much money will be received from the court for the contract quotation?

Ten years ago, it was 50,000 yuan.

What now?

Two hundred thousand dollars!

After all, prices have gone up over the years, right, and labor has also gone up, right? Shouldn't the price increase reasonably?

This is still a small military stronghold. If it were a large military stronghold and a big project, it would be huge...

Are these defensive measures built for Shandong, for the country, and for the imperial court? So, what's the problem? Also, in recent years to compete with Guanzhong, how many military checkpoints have been built in Shandong?

Lu Hong didn't know how much was on the books. After all, it was a military secret. However, it was not uncommon for Lu Hong to change the names of military camps in some places every few months.

In addition to building military strongholds, whenever a large army is deployed, there will be money and food expenditures, and ordnance consumption. It can be as big as camp construction, as small as toilet chips for wiping buttocks, or even bamboo cups for drinking water. After all, it is made from the tear bamboo imported from Jiangdong, and it is called Beauty Tears, so it is very precious!

So where has Shandong's money been spent over the years? What is it on the books and in reality? If you really do a detailed calculation, I am afraid many people will be scared to death. Therefore, whenever the court needs to consolidate accounts and conduct comprehensive calculations, various problems will always arise in various counties and counties. Some people lost their original records inexplicably, some people accidentally burned their accounts, some people suddenly left their jobs and ran away to who knows where, and even the simplest ones, it lasted from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and it was just this matter. I'm busy with that matter, so I can't consolidate the accounts and sort them out...

There's always a reason anyway.

As for where the money went?

Everyone who sees it up and down has a share.

Like Lu Hong, who killed a small local nobleman, confiscated their money, and then secretly withheld something. Compared with these giant crocodiles, it was like a child playing house, with poor methods and little profit.

It is really smart to generate income in an aboveboard and legal way.

I really am not afraid of other people knowing about this matter or being ganged up on, because everyone has a share.

Who has trouble with money?

Besides, with the territory that the Cao family and the Xiahou family worked so hard to conquer, is it possible that they can’t even make a small amount of money? If this is not possible, then what is the value of the Cao family and the Xiahou family who died on the battlefield?

As for whether Xun Wu knew these things, Lu Hong felt that he must have known it, but the problem was that Xun Wu probably couldn't control it. Because he cannot interfere in military affairs, and the Xiahou family of the Cao family is often responsible for military matters. As long as the Cao family and the Xiahou family didn't go too far, then Xun or most likely could only turn a blind eye.

Then Lu Hong suddenly thought of something...

"Hey, dear brother, you are talking about this Kong Wenju..." Lu Hong touched his beard and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid he is not necessarily speaking ill of the prime minister... but talking about those people... If you say so, this Kong Wenju is really a good man..."

"those people? ” Zhao Da was a little confused at first, but then he clapped his hands and said, “Hi! It's really possible! 』

It’s true that Kong Rong was a headstrong person, but he also prided himself on being clear-minded, so he couldn’t get any sand in his eyes. If he knew something, it would be revealed...

In this case, it seems to make sense that he was not in a hurry at first, but suddenly he was so eager to arrest?

"If this is really the case, Kong Wenju will definitely die!" Lu Hong said in a deep voice, "Other things are fine, but if this is really the case... Haha, whoever exposes it will definitely be attacked!" So... we might as well just let it go and give Kong Wenju a good trip! 』

Good people, just go on your way!
