The book continues from the previous chapter.

Li Zhi gave a bad laugh and changed his words: "Furthermore, having Wang Yuan be the head of the Finance Department has another advantage.

That is, if Wang Yuan causes any trouble, we can blame it on Wang Yun.

Even if Wang Yun ignores Wang Yuan, we can push Wang Yuan out and let him take the blame.

When the time comes, won’t Your Majesty be able to step aside and watch the storm with a smile?”

When Liu Hong heard this, his eyes flashed, and he interjected thoughtfully: "I can even blame Wang Yuan for buying and selling officials.

Let him be reviled by everyone in the world, while I count money in the palace, right?"

Having said this, Liu Hong's eyes gradually brightened up and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, obviously very happy.

After Li Zhi heard this, his eyes twitched and he was extremely speechless.

At this time, Li Zhi roared crazily in his heart: "You stupid king, how come you are so smart when it comes to trapping people?

You can draw inferences from one fact! Poor Wang Yuan, you have been targeted by this big scammer, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Sorry!"

That's what he thought, but Li Zhi couldn't say it, so he followed Liu Hong's words and said: "As His Majesty said, this matter can also be passed on to Wang Yuan.

If Wang Yuan cannot shoulder this responsibility, we can drag Wang Yun into the water. With Wang Yun's qualifications and prestige, he will definitely be able to shoulder this infamy.

In this way, His Majesty will gradually withdraw from the matter of buying and selling officials and titles.

Your Majesty only needs to collect money, and leave other matters to Wang Yuan."

Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded excitedly, looked at Li Zhi happily, patted his shoulder, and praised: "Li Qing is worthy of being the God of Killing on the battlefield. He is indeed resourceful."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong said regretfully: "I shouldn't have let Li Qing go back to Yingchuan in the first place. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been able to sit on the gold and silver seas long ago?"

"Uh..." Li Zhi didn't know how to reply. Could it be that he said: "Last time, even if you left me in Beijing, I was too lazy to give you any advice?"

After saying this, Li Zhi could think about it in his heart, he didn't want to die yet.

At this moment, Liu Hong frowned when he saw Wang Yuan, and then asked Li Zhi: "Can Wang Yuan take on such a big responsibility?"

After saying that, Liu Hong lowered his head and started thinking.

In Liu Hong's view, Wang Yuan was just a drunkard and a womanizer. After meeting his maid, he lost his manners and did not look like a strong-willed person. Therefore, he did not trust Wang Yuan very much.

ability.

After thinking for a while, Liu Hong's eyes flashed, as if he had come up with a good idea.

Then, Liu Hong raised his head, looked at Li Zhi, and said warmly: "Li Qing, otherwise... you should be the one in charge. I really don't trust this person in his work."

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this. He finally found a scapegoat and got away. How could he be in it again?

Li Zhi looked at Liu Hong and said sincerely: "If Your Majesty is not at ease, then I should remind Wang Yuan from time to time. Why should I let you die in person?"

At this point, Li Zhi's expression changed, and he said with aggrieved face: "Furthermore, I am a hussar general. If I become the person in charge of the Finance Department, wouldn't that mean I would be demoted?"

I haven’t done anything wrong, and yet my position is suddenly demoted. How could your Majesty bear it?”

Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded: "What Li Qing said makes sense. As a hussar general, Li Qing has a high and powerful position. It is indeed difficult for him to serve as the Finance Department at the same time."

Having said this, Liu Hong sighed regretfully: "We can only let Wang Yuan try. If it doesn't work, Li Qing will do it himself."

"Huh..." Li Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and secretly sighed in his heart: "This matter has been settled!

I will never come up with such bad ideas again. This time I didn’t harm Zhang Rang, but I almost got myself involved, which scared me to death.”

At this moment, Wang Yuan had also stood up. He first glanced at Li Zhi with a hateful look, and then looked at Liu Hong evasively.

At this time, Wang Yuan had also reacted and knew that he had made a big mistake, so he cautiously saluted Liu Hong and said, "I...I, Wang Yuan, have met your Majesty."

"Hmph!" Liu Hong glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said nonchalantly: "What is your position? How dare you call yourself a minister?"

Wang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he was too impatient. At this moment, he was not the person in charge of the Finance Department.

Later, Wang Yuan changed his words and said: "Wang Yuan, a common man, has met Your Majesty.

It is the first time for a commoner to enter the palace and he does not know the rules of the palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Yes." Liu Hong responded casually, and asked in a calm tone with no expression on his face: "Let me ask you, if I appoint you as the Secretary of Finance..."

Having said this, Liu Hong thought for a moment and classified the Qian Wealth Secretary as a military dependent: "After I appoint you as the captain of the Qian Wealth Department, how should you act?"

"This..." Wang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, a little at a loss.

Wang Yuanguang thought about becoming an official, but he never thought about how to set up the Finance Department, let alone how to act.

What's more, Wang Yuan doesn't even understand what the Qian Finance Department does.

He only knew that the Finance Department was an agency that investigated the assets of the families of ministers.

However, he had no idea to what extent and how to investigate. He didn't even know how much power he had.

At this moment, Wang Yuan thought of Li Zhi and quickly turned his eyes to Li Zhi, his eyes full of pleading.

However, Li Zhi was on the side with his eyes slightly closed, his head lowered, closing his eyes to rest, and ignoring Wang Yuan.

Because Li Zhi saw Wang Yuan's eyes just now, and Li Zhi knew that his kick made Wang Yuan feel very dissatisfied and resentful, so Li Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Yuan and let him suffer on his own!

It would be great if Wang Yuan could figure it out, but if he couldn't figure it out, it wouldn't matter. He could just give it a try in the future, but for today... let him endure it for now.

When Wang Yuan saw that Li Zhi was ignoring him, he hated him even more.

However, Wang Yuan did not dare to have an attack at this time and could only rack his brains to think of words to deal with.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Yuan couldn't come up with any clue. He raised his head and glanced at Liu Hong, and saw that Liu Hong had a look of impatience on his face.

When Wang Yuan saw this, his heart went crazy, and he gritted his teeth and made up something random: "Your Majesty, after I became the captain of the Department of Finance, I will first mobilize an army of fifty thousand.

When it gets dark, let these troops go from house to house, secretly enter the homes of the ministers, and quietly search their property."

At this point, Wang Yuan did not see the dumbfounded expressions of Liu Hong, Li Zhi and others, and the more he spoke, the more smoothly he said: "In this way, minister... won't ordinary people be able to understand the family situations of the ministers without any effort?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yuan was quite proud. He felt that he was a genius and could even concoct such a good idea casually.

Wang Yuan thought with disdain: "Li Xingzhi, even without you, I...didn't I still come up with a solution?!"

After thinking about it, Wang Yuan raised his hands to Liu Hong with a smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty, this is what I think. Please give me the Tiger Talisman."

, I asked you to mobilize 50,000 troops, and you will definitely handle the matters assigned by your Majesty properly."

Having said this, Wang Yuan glanced at Li Zhi who was standing aside, and immediately changed his words: "I want General Hussars to station his elite troops outside the city, and I hope your Majesty will agree."

After he finished speaking, Liu Hong and Li Zhi could no longer close their mouths, and they both stared at him dumbfounded.

Liu Hong couldn't figure out how Wang Yuan got so much confidence that he asked for 50,000 troops.

Doesn't he know that there are only hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the capital?

After giving him 50,000 soldiers and horses, could Liu Hong sleep well?

Li Zhi was not too surprised at this time. He had known for a long time that Wang Yuan was a arrogant fool, so he was not surprised.

But when Li Zhi heard Wang Yuan say he wanted his own elite, he narrowed his eyes with a ruthless look in his eyes.

Li Zhi didn't expect that Wang Yuan, who had just become an official for the first time, would dare to deal with him. He was really... an idiot.

Doesn't Wang Yuan know that Li Zhi is a hussar general who is in charge of the world's troops?

What if Wang Yuan takes away Li Zhi's military power?

As long as everyone in this camp still listens to Li Zhi's words, no one can take away this military power.

Because Li Zhi, as a general of hussars, has the power to control the world's troops in name, and the soldiers under his command obey his orders. In this case, no matter who takes Li Zhi's military power, they will die miserably.

"Pfft..." After a long time, Zhang Rang, who was standing by the side, finally couldn't hold back and laughed.

Then, Zhang Rang reacted immediately, covered his face with his big sleeves, turned around, and turned his back to everyone.

But it can be seen from the shrug of his shoulders that he is suppressing a smile.

Liu Hong was shocked by Zhang Rang's smile and came back to his senses. After looking at Zhang Rang, he glanced at Wang Yuan.

Liu Hong asked Wang Yuan speechlessly: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the capital?"

Wang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head blankly: "I don't know, but it must be one or two million, right?"

"One or two million?" Now it was Liu Hong's turn to be confused. He really didn't know where Wang Yuan derived this figure. Why didn't he know that he had so many troops?

Later, Liu Hong asked Wang Yuan: "Then do you know how many people there are in our country?"

Wang Yuan still shook his head and asked in confusion: "Why does your Majesty ask this?

Although the common people do not know the actual number of people, doesn't the book say that there are hundreds of millions of people in our country?

From this point of view, my big man must have tens of millions of people, right?"

"Ahem..." As soon as Wang Yuan finished speaking, Li Zhi beside him almost choked to death on his own saliva.

Li Zhi finally stopped coughing, looked at Wang Yuan speechlessly, and asked: "What kind of book are you reading? Why don't I know?"

Which book records that our country has hundreds of millions of people?"

Wang Yuan heard this, thought for a moment, and shook his head blankly: "I don't know, I just heard someone say this in a brothel.

This sentence should be in a book, right? I don’t know which book it is.”

When Li Zhi heard this, he slapped his forehead and roared with a broken heart: "Do you believe what you heard in the brothel? How stupid are you?!!!"

At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was extremely disappointed with Wang Yuan. He thought that Wang Yuan, as Wang Yun's nephew, should have some knowledge even if he was not a well-educated man, right?
