Speaking of the Han Ling Emperor, it is really a bit "not born at the right time". Judging by what he has done, it is not an exaggeration to call him a "business elite". Unlike many people who imagine that he must be a faint and incompetent person, in fact, he is still a person who knows the way of business operation.
Some people may think that he is already the emperor, and he does not worry about governing the country all day, thinking about making money. In fact, the money in the treasury has both places and places, not the emperor wants to spend it, he can really dispose of it at will, in fact, it is the private treasury. In order to make himself more geographical and courageous in spending money, the emperor thought about how to fill the private treasury all day, and as for whether there was money in the treasury, he did not pay attention to it at all.
As an emperor, the fastest way he could think of to get money was naturally to sell his officials. During his reign as emperor, the official hats that everyone looked hot at were marked in his place like stalls and selling in the market. He was so crazy that he not only sold those idle officials, but also dared to sell even the high-ranking officials who controlled the power of the military state. Because these official hats are more expensive, he can easily earn more money.
So why is he so interested in making money? In fact, this is not unrelated to the hard life of his father, that is, emperor Huan. Because his father and emperor had no private money, he did not live like an emperor at all, and even his personal interests and hobbies could not be satisfied. From a young age, emperor Ling made a favored wish to become an emperor with money to spend.
Because he is full of motivation and has more official hats in his hand, this business is very prosperous. Even many eunuchs moved their minds to buy officials, such as Cao Song, who did this in those years. Although he was not a eunuch himself, he recognized the eunuch Cao Teng as his adoptive father, and he was particularly rich for this. Through the help of this great waiter, coupled with his willingness to pay money, he naturally became a high-ranking official in the imperial court.
Since it is a business, there is a possibility of bargaining. At that time, there was a man named Cui Lie, although the family was also a famous and prestigious family, and he was particularly rich, but the official position he wanted was too high, it was the kind of third duke, and the price was so high that he could not get it. In order to get this official position, he quickly thought of a way, through the emperor's mother as an intermediary, everyone sat down to chat, and immediately became this high-ranking official at a 50% discount friendship price.
Speaking of Cui Lie, he was also very sad, because he was also a celebrity, and he was particularly concerned about other people's opinions on him, so he asked his son's opinion. However, his son looked down on him and thought that he was "full of copper smell", and he did not expect that it would become a curse word to this day.
