Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 190
Wang Fen sighed with emotion: "The world is in great chaos today. I moved my family from the Central Plains to Jizhou, just looking for a place to live. It seems that this place is also difficult to settle down. Now only Youzhou is peaceful. Liu Yu and his son are lenient in government and love the people. You can vote for it."

Xu You nodded and said: "Minggong's intention coincides with mine. Liu Yu is benevolent, and Liu He has the ability to command the army. Although he dare not say that he can revitalize the Han Dynasty, he must be able to protect himself, and Youzhou is a frontier fortress." Even if there are any rumors in the court, it will be difficult to find this place, I will definitely arrange your love properly, allow her to get married, and live in peace for the rest of her life."

"Thank you so much, sir!" Wang Fen nodded slowly, and said to Xu You: "Although Liu He became famous at a young age, he is very greedy for money. If you go here, sir, you can take all the money and grain with you, as a means of getting rich, even if there are rumors. , I think Liu He will try his best to keep it safe."

Xu You asked, "I don't know how much food Minggong prepared?"

Wang Fen said: "To prepare for the uprising this time, Zhou Jing sent countless money and food. In addition to the funds I used to replace the fields, the total is 8000 million yuan, 30 shi of grain, 5 taels of gold and silver, and [-] bolts of cloth. There is no need for the government to divide the property, only the assets purchased here are enough!"

Xu You was shocked when he heard this. The Xu family was also a big family in Nanyang, but they didn't have so much money and food. He didn't expect that Wang Fen and Zhou Jing had gathered so much property during this period. They wanted to give it to Liu He. The money-greedy guy didn't want to give himself up. As a distinguished guest?

Excited in his heart, the amount of money and food made him feel dazed, and he was at a loss for a while. He asked, "This amount of money, food and property can't be transported away without dozens of vehicles. If we go down and invest in Liu He, how can we move these things?"

"Mr. has always been full of wisdom, so why are you confused now?" Wang Fen forced a smile and said: "Over the years, Jizhou has allocated money and grain to Youzhou for the government's use. Although I sent Zhongshan Kingdom to Liu He as a Compensation, but this is a private agreement, and outsiders don't know about it. So you don't need to worry about transporting these properties to Fanyang under the pretext of transporting them to Youzhou to pay the expenses."

"Ming Gong's wonderful plan!" Xu You slapped his forehead, and said with a smile: "Something went wrong, and I was a little flustered in my heart, and lost my position."

Wang Fen instructed again: "This matter is about my daughter, only you and I know, and you must not disclose it to outsiders. I just want to keep the descendants of the Wang family. Although it is a girl, it is better than nothing."

Xu You took two steps back, saluted again, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ming, as long as Xu You still has three inches of spirit, he will keep his niece Zhouquan and treat her like his own daughter. If you violate this oath, you will be hit with thunderbolts that day. "

"Sir, you are serious..." Wang Fen hurriedly got out of bed, knelt on the ground, and said in a sobbing voice: "The emperor has no way, and the people suffer. Although I can't turn the tide, I have no regrets in this life. I only hate God's tricks. Take care, sir. .”

Xu You also quickly knelt down, comforted Wang Fen, helped him to the bed, and the two discussed how to transfer all the assets and arrange the funeral properly.

The plan was decided, Wang Fen summoned his family members overnight, distributed property and dismissed them, leaving only two confidant maids to take care of the youngest daughter, and ordered to send money and food to Youzhou as usual to subsidize official expenses.

On the second day, Xu You mobilized soldiers to load all the money, food and property into vehicles, and secretly transferred 2000 million yuan, [-] shi of grain, and two large carts of gold, silver, and silk from the treasury, and took Wang Fen's daughter to Fanyang.

At this time, Wang Fen had no intention of managing the government affairs, so he entrusted the government affairs to Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, and after a day's delay, he went on the road with the envoy to Luoyang.

Wang Fen used the excuse of physical discomfort along the way and rested in various counties along the way. He arrived at Xingyang half a month later. It was expected that Xu You had successfully arrived at Fanyang by this time. He entered Luoyang the next day and hanged himself in the post before he could meet the emperor. Death.

After discussing with Wang Fen, Xu You sent his confidants back home overnight, ordering his family members to bring only soft food, and set off to Youzhou in a carriage at Xingye. .

After arriving in Fanyang, Xu You first drove some of the chariots and horses to the county government office to meet the county magistrate Cheng Yu. At this time, Liu He was still fighting against Xianbei in Saibei and had not yet returned, expressing his intention to vote with his family.

Cheng Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect that Xu You would bring his family and all his wealth to Youzhou after a good time in Jizhou. This person is a famous person from Nanyang, so he personally received him.

Xu You said: "There is war in the Central Plains, there is a rebellion in Qingxu, and the Black Mountain Army is eyeing it. Jizhou is not a safe place. The king's governor was conscripted back to the court. I have nowhere to live, so my whole family came to vote."

Only then did Cheng Yu understand Xu You's intention, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is thirsty for talent, Mr. is wise and resourceful. If your Majesty knows this, he will be very happy."

Xu You was very proud. He tugged at his beard and said, "I'm not just looking for a safe place to live here. I know that the princes and princes are running the army and the people are short of money and food. I would like to donate part of my family property to help the princes and princes."

"Oh? I wonder how much food there is in total?" Cheng Yu was a little surprised.

Xu You twirled the goat's beard and said slowly: "It's not too much. I would like to donate 5000 million yuan, 20 shi of grain, 1 taels of gold and silver, and [-] pieces of cloth."

"Hiss—this..." Cheng Yu stood up in shock when he heard such a huge number.

"Why?" Xu You smiled indifferently, raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that Mr. Cheng thinks too little?"

"No, no, this... is enough, enough."

Cheng Yu waved his hands again and again, not knowing what to say for a while. Although he was not from a poor family, he had never had so much money. Even in the past two years as the county magistrate of Fanyang, he had never seen so much money in the treasury. !
Only then Xu You nodded in satisfaction, and said proudly: "I heard that General Liu built the Yanjing Academy, edited books and wrote scriptures, and recruited scholars from all over the world. I want to place my family in Beixin City. Can Zhongde buy a mansion for you? "

Cheng Yu came to his senses and heard Tian Feng once said that Xu You was greedy for money, but he did not expect him to be so generous.

Of course, Cheng Yu also understood that Xu You's move was to gain Liu He's trust and gain a place in Youzhou.

He clasped his fists together and said, "Sir, this time of sending charcoal in the midst of hardship, the prince will definitely use it. As for the residence, there is no need to pay for it separately. I will send someone to choose the best location and arrange the family members properly."

Xu You clasped his fists and said, "It will take a lot of trouble for Zhongde."

"You're being polite!" Cheng Yu said with a smile, "I will order someone to make a list of the donated funds, sir. When the prince returns from outside the Great Wall, he should report the truth. For such a great contribution, the prince will definitely be rewarded."

"Actually, there is no need to be so detailed, as long as the prince can understand the next heart of surrender is enough!"

Xu You stood up, nodded slightly with his hands behind his back, and said: "The family's carriages and horses are still waiting, I will go to Beixincheng first, and have a long talk with Zhongde after I settle down."

"I'll send someone to help right away." Cheng Yu immediately called the yamen servants and arranged for them to help Xu You resettle his family.

There are many vacant mansions in Beixin City that are ready to be leased and sold. Cheng Yu made his own decision and chose a larger one to give to Xu You.

Although Xu You's expression was quite arrogant, Cheng Yu didn't take it seriously. He donated so much money, so what's the point of being complacent?
At this time, I suddenly remembered a sentence Liu He once said, "If you have money, you are a master, and you will not deceive me if you are sincere!"
