Chapter 49 The Youngest Taishu

Emperor Ling of Han now has power, benefits, and women. He is not an ambitious person, he just enjoys it every day. His biggest wish is to live a few more years, so when he heard that Huangfu Jian could make wine that prolongs life, he was immediately excited and his spirits improved a lot.

It is the dream of all emperors to find ways to live longer, become an immortal, and achieve immortality. Even a wise and powerful figure like Qin Shihuang also took the path of a few little Taoist priests, let alone the foolish Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong.

"My young master said that first, he must be the prefect of Anding County, so that he can mobilize manpower and material resources to plant high-quality grapes and produce raw materials for making grape wine; second, 500,000 kilograms of bronze are needed to make wine-making equipment; third, he needs the magic craftsman Zheng Ma and 300 masters, and only their superb skills can create that kind of wine-making equipment."

"As long as your Majesty can agree to these three requirements of my young master, my young master will offer 100 urns of "God-holy drunk" and 100 urns of "Good Red" every year. If you cannot complete it, you will be punished."

Jia Xu was best at observing his face and judging people's hearts. Seeing that Emperor Ling of Han had already moved, he more than doubled the requirements Huangfu Jian gave, which made Emperor Ling of Han feel that it was extremely difficult to make this wine.

"I'm sure! I'm going to draw an edict, Huangfu Jian, the general Huangfu Gui of Liao, was loyal and brave, and was very talented. Now he has made contributions to the wine offering, and has been promoted to the prefect of Anding County. I respect this!" Emperor Ling of Han agreed without thinking.

In his eyes, a county magistrate is nothing, not to mention that Anding County is a small border county with a population of only tens of thousands. Not only does it not receive a copper coin tax every year, but it also has to pay a lot of food. As for the wise craftsman and the great craftsman mentioned by Jia Xu, in his eyes, it is not as good as a pile of copper coin, let alone a divine wine that can last longer!

"Thank you for your kindness! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Jia Xu hurriedly took the edict, Yin Yan, and kowtowed to thank him.

But just as Jia Xu was thanking him, the ministers standing on both sides had their opinions. They whispered and discussed.

According to geographical areas, the Han Dynasty divided the world into twelve states and one Sili. Although the imperial court increased the dominance of the state governor after the Guangwu Revival, the state governor still could not absolutely control the prefect of the county governor. The foundation of the Han Empire was still based on the 106 counties and states in the world.

The position of prefect is basically a Han Han, with all the civil affairs and military power within the county. When appointing a prefect, the court conducted a strict inspection. That is like now, it can be done with just a few words from Jia Xu and a hundred jars of "Immortal Drunkenness". The ministers on both sides think this is too much of a joke.

The Grand Marshal Chen Dan walked out tremblingly with his scepter in his hand, bowed and said, "Your Majesty must not do this! I heard that Huangfu Jian, the grandson of Huangfu Gui, was only thirteen years old, so how could a thirteen-year-old boy be the prefect! Please think twice!"

Chen Dan, whose courtesy name was Hangong, was from Donghai. He was a Taiwei of the dynasty and was known for his loyalty.

At this time, Zhang Rang, the attendant serving Emperor Ling of Han, made an invisible gesture to Sikong Xuxun, who was standing in front of the civil servant. This was very clear, "Our family has accepted bribes from others, please help us."

The Xu family was a famous political family at that time. This family included the Xu Shao and Xu Jing brothers who were famous for the "Yuedan Pin", and Xu Xun, who were notorious because of the party's eunuchs. Although Xu Xun had a vulgar personality, he was appointed as Sikong because of his help from eunuchs.

When Xu Xun saw Zhang Rang's actions, he immediately understood and rushed forward, and bowed to the court and said, "Mr. Taiwei's words are not bad. In the Warring States Period, Ganluo was only twelve years old. He used his wisdom to deal with the countries, and could obtain sixteen cities without a single soldier. The official title of Qin was granted sixteen cities. Although the grandson of the current old general was young, he could make such a divine wine as "Divine Drunkenness". This is not just a sign that this son's wisdom is extremely powerful and enough to bear this great task! May I ask Grandpa, if you don't use Huangfu sword, who else can make a divine wine for Your Majesty to prolong your life? A county magistrate is small, and the dragon body of the priest is big!"

Sikong Xu Xun's words made Taiwei Chen Dan blush and speechless.

At this moment, one of them walked out of the ranks of military generals. They were tall and tall, with a burly appearance and murderous look on their faces. They were Duan Jing, the captain of Sili.

Duan Bing took a step forward and said, "I also knew that General Huangfu enjoyed a high prestige among the Qiang people during his lifetime. If General Huangfu's descendants were the prefect of Anding County, it would be easier to manage the Qiang people. Therefore, I thought that Huangfu Jian's appointment as the prefect of Anding County could kill two birds with one stone. It could not only make a magical wine for Your Majesty, but also handle the relationship between the Qiang people well, and ensure that our Han Dynasty was safe."

There were two powerful ministers who spoke for Huangfu Jian, and even some opposition voices were strangled in their stomachs.

Emperor Ling of Han thought yes, what is more important than his dragon body! These corrupt scholars are troublesome, and then slapped the dragon case with anger, Huangfu Jian became the youngest prefect in the history of the Han Dynasty!

Jia Xu let out a long sigh, and he lived up to the young master's entrusted. He held the edict in his hand, sealed his seal carefully, and then he found that his clothes were all wet, and he couldn't help but shivered.

After Jia Xu left early in the morning, the candidate took everyone to stay in Fuchunyuan and waited for news, but after waiting for a whole morning, he didn't see a single figure. They were already anxious and could not break out to see what was going on.

Just when they were impatient, Jia Xu walked in excitedly. The candidate hurriedly met and asked, "Military advisor, how is the matter done? Why are you back until now? Everyone is very anxious and thought something was wrong!"

"Bah, crow's mouth! Why don't you say something nice? Don't look at who I am? Is there anything else that can't be done with Jia?" Jia Xu cursed unhappily, then looked around and said softly: "Let's talk about it when you go back to your room!"

After entering the room, Jia Xu ordered the soldiers to guard the door, and then he explained in detail what happened in Wende Hall. The candidate was overjoyed and said, "It's great, I finally don't have to hide in the Pegasus Ranch anymore."

Of course the candidate was happy! Now he could finally lead his troops out to sneak around with righteousness. He did not necessarily want to be a high-ranking official or get a generous salary. But the identity of the Pegasus Ranch in the past was indeed embarrassing. Soldiers were not soldiers, bandits were not bandits, and even doing good deeds were not right, which made the candidates very unhappy.

The two discussed for a while and felt that they should send someone to pass Xixun to the Pegasus Ranch immediately, and also asked the Pegasus Ranch to send people to pick him up. Such a huge amount of bronze is a huge amount of wealth, which can easily attract people to peek at. Besides, the society is not peaceful now, the people are living in poverty, and thieves are on the rise, so they dare not be careless.

After the two discussed, Jia Xu took the brocade and silk, handed a letter to two soldiers, and rushed to Pegasus Ranch at night to report the good news.

With the help of the Zhongchang Shi Wang Fu and Zhang Rang, the bronze needed was quickly brought out.
