When Xiao He left Yanhou Han Guang's house, there was a trace of solemnity on his face.

Tian Dan, who was originally thought to be the most difficult to convince, actually didn't put in much effort.

Han Guang, who didn't find it difficult to convince Xiao He at all, refused directly.

Han Guang was originally a small official in Shanggu of Zhao State. Later Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against Qin, and the Zhang Chu regime sent military officials to Zhao to run the business.

As a result, Wu Chen proclaimed himself King of Zhao.

With this precedent, the military officials later sent Han Guang to appease Yan.

As a result, Han Guang was widely welcomed by the people of Yan, so Han Guang imitated the military ministers and established himself as the king of Yan.

A minor official in the past could become the King of Yan, although he was not the queen of the King of Yan.

But for Han Guang, he can be regarded as one of the representatives of diaosi's counterattack.

What a person like him who holds an unfair position wants most is to be recognized by the world.

But now that such a good opportunity was presented to him, Han Guang was not tempted and refused it directly.

This made Xiao He notice something abnormal inside and outside.

"Is Marquis Yan satisfied with the status quo? Or is he afraid?" Xiao He frowned tightly and thought.

The more Xiao He thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. This matter must be clarified.

Tian Dan and Han Guang, they are both indispensable for this matter.

So he said to his subordinates: "Go and see if Governor Peng is at the government office! If he is, tell me to go visit him right away!"

"No!" the subordinate responded, and then trotted away quickly.

Fortunately, the city of Luoyang is not big, and the palace is even smaller.

The Scout Headquarters has more than one foothold in Luoyang. In general, there are three areas.

One is responsible for domestic intelligence, one is responsible for foreign intelligence, and the other is the governor's office located in the palace.

The Governor's Yamen only does some clerical work. Unlike the other two areas, it requires frequent trips outside.

Soon, his subordinates came back and informed him that Peng Yue was at the Governor's Mansion.

So Xiao He quickly moved to the Governor's Mansion.

"Marquis of Changyi!" Seeing Peng Yue, Xiao He quickly saluted.

At the enthronement ceremony, Peng Yue was granted the title of Marquis of Changyi, and there was a question about the choice of the title.

Wang Buxeng, a lazy person, used the laziest method, and at the same time, the person who was banned had nothing to say and no way to care about his own account ban.

Which county do you come from and what is your title?

Therefore, don’t think that someone else’s account is a big city, while your own account is a small city or something.

At the same time, Wang Buxu abolished the method of judging the level of the title based on titles, and instead used the method of judging the level of the title based on the food.

If outsiders look at this, they generally won't be able to tell.

In order to distinguish this point, Wang Buxian thought of another good way.

Those with an estate of more than 1,000 acres are designated as Chehou. They are allowed to have vermilion doors in their homes and wear red ornaments on their heads.

Marquis with an area of ​​less than 1,000 acres are called Guannei Marquis. They are allowed to use black doors in their homes and wear black jewelry on their heads.

The black and red colors are exclusive to the Marquis, mainly for easy distinction and to satisfy some people's pretentiousness.

So far, in the entire Han Dynasty, only the Yanhou and Qihou families use vermilion doors and wear hairpins with red ornaments on their heads.

"Peng Hou!" Peng Yue quickly returned the courtesy and welcomed Xiao He in at the same time.

"I wonder if the Marquis of Changyi has any information about the Marquis of Yan?" Xiao He asked bluntly after entering Peng Yue's 'office'.

"There are quite a few, but I don't know what kind of things Peng Hou needs?" Peng Yue thought about it and nodded.

"The more, the better. It is best if it can be combined with the information of his former subordinates. Today I came to visit and asked him about his ideas on building Luoyang. As a result, Marquis Yan refused directly because he was unable to operate it. No matter what I do,

Even though I tried to persuade him, Marquis Yan was unmoved!" Xiao He told the whole story of today's situation.

This matter was discussed and approved by the cabinet. Xiao He and Peng Yue were both cabinet members, and Xiao He was also the deputy chief of the cabinet.

So this is also a small-scale briefing meeting within the cabinet, and it is considered official business.

"Is it because there is a big gap in my heart, so I refused? Or are I worried about being settled?" Peng Yue thought for a while and said, in his opinion, these are all possible.

After all, he was still the king of Yan before. Although the country was indeed smaller and weaker, it was not recognized by the Han Dynasty.

But now, even though he has been granted the title of Marquis, he is still one of the two people with the highest title in the entire Han Kingdom.

But when it comes to taking turns, their lives are not even as comfortable as those who are not marquises.

Han Guang is from a humble background, and it is possible that he has more things on his mind.

"I have thought about it too, but the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. When I came to the door today, Marquis Yan didn't behave like that. It felt like he was deliberately showing off to me, and he could faintly hear it when he came out.

The servants in Yanhou's house talked privately about not only not having enough to eat, but also eating poorly." Xiao He said with a frown.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Peng Yue was stunned for a moment.

If Xiao He said this, then there is obviously something wrong here.

Even if Peng Yue didn't have a deeper understanding, this was his first impression.

If the servants of Yanhou Mansion said that the food was poor, Peng Yue would believe it.

If the master has money and food, he may not give good food to these servants. This principle is applicable everywhere.

But if he said he didn't have enough to eat, he would find it a bit strange.

After all, it is also a Marquis House. The Marquis Yan family has a great business and has so much food that they can't even finish it if it piles up moldy and rotting in the warehouse. Is it necessary to withhold the rations of the people?

In later generations, the definition of fullness is as long as you are not hungry, but now, a little hunger is not considered hungry. If your stomach is growling for two or three hours a day, then you will say you are not full.

Being hungry for an hour a day is normal.

After all, Peng Yue was also a scout governor. He knew a lot about everything he could and could not say.

As far as he knew, ministers basically maintained a very uniform standard for the rations of their servants.

No matter how rich the family is and how much food they have, the servants will always feel hungry about half an hour before dinner, and they will only be hungry for such a short time in a day.

The servants never say they are not full, because their last meal was in the morning. If you convert it, it would be around nine-thirty or ten.

Marquis Yan's reaction was a bit strange, and Xiao He happened to hear what the servants were talking about. If there was nothing wrong with it, Peng Yue wouldn't believe it anyway.

"Peng Hou, wait a moment, let someone check it and we will know!" Peng Yue nodded, and quickly called people over to check some information about Yan Hou Han Guang.

As the governor, he has too many things to do, and it is impossible to see everything in person.

I don’t know yet, maybe the person in charge below has noticed it, but feels it’s not time to report it yet.

Maybe I haven't had time to see this yet. After all, the information that comes from various places every day is not only piled up, but at least several trucks are sent.

It is no exaggeration to say that despite the fact that the scout headquarters is inconspicuous, no one would have thought that in such a small shabby compound, he had as many as 60,000 people under his jurisdiction.

If we bring along the guerrilla generals from the Operations Department, we can have 100,000 people.

Regarding Han Guang's matter, Peng Yue did not dare to be careless at all.

His Majesty still gave Han Guang and Tian Dan a lot of preferential treatment, although his policies after taking refuge were still in sync with the Han Dynasty.

But the two of them were allowed to take 30% of the treasury as their own.

In other words, the wealth that originally belonged to the two countries was supposed to be used for national construction, but now it is no longer needed. They can just take 30% of it and enjoy it for themselves. Han will be responsible for any subsequent investment.

And how much wealth is this?

Not only Peng Yue knew, but everyone in the cabinet knew that the combined wealth owned by the two people amounted to 210,000 yi, with 20 taels each, and more than 2 million taels at the bottom.

Not to mention food, each person has a family fortune of hundreds of thousands of dan to nearly one million dan.

For such a big dog owner, Wang Buxian didn't just find a reason to kill them, but it was considered a favor.

This time it not only gave them the opportunity to make money, but also gave them the opportunity to gain real power.

Tian Dan's reaction was normal, but Han Guang was very abnormal.

The most important thing is that according to the financial resources of these two people, they can basically afford the expansion of a city. It is basically certain that the West City and Northwest City will be managed by the court, and the East City or Northeast City will be handed over to those businessmen.

, plus these two people, the other minor nobles only need to be responsible for the construction of one city, so the pressure is not too great.

The two of them couldn't sit still, so they followed directly to the place where the information was stored.

A group of people were sorting out the information from Yan Di from a pile of information, which they had not yet had time to process.

As for those that have been handled, officials are also consolidating opinions and will report directly orally later.

'Snapped……'

A bamboo slip accidentally fell to the ground and lay half-opened there.

After the official put down the bamboo slips in his hand, he turned back and picked up the half-opened bamboo slips, and glanced at them casually.
Chapter completed!
