Among them, Emperor Ling was the happiest.

The four countries have been defeated, so what about the money and food seized.

Can I count money until my feet cramp?

"Your Majesty, this is Wei Haihou's apology." Zhang Rang walked in and said in a cold tone.

Emperor Ling also woke up from the fantasy, frowned and said: "What's the matter, didn't the Marquis of Weihai win the battle and expand the territory for me? What's the crime?"

The first thing that Emperor Ling thought of was whether those Japanese ministers were saying that it was wrong for his 'General Huo' to send troops.

"Your Majesty, you should see this for yourself." Zhang Rang felt a little toothache from what Xu Ding sent up this time.

It's really heartbreaking. Like Emperor Ling, he thought that Xu Ding had won the battle and won the four kingdoms, and he must have robbed countless gold and silver treasures. Then Xu Ding gave half of it to Emperor Ling, and naturally he would have a corresponding one. A big gift.

In the end, there was nothing, and it was really empty joy.

Emperor Ling took the memorial and spread it out for a look, the more he looked behind, the more dignified the expression on his face, and the feeling of chill in his heart.

It turned out that Xu Ding was crying miserably in all kinds of ways, saying that the four countries not only had no wealth, but were extremely poor.

This time the expedition not only failed to earn military expenses, but owed a lot of debt.

He also pitifully asked Emperor Ling for some support, saying that next time he wins the three kingdoms of Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Woju, he will definitely earn a lot of money.

At that time, all the seized items will be given to Emperor Ling.

So when I saw the last Lingdi ensemble and glanced at Zhang Rang, I also had a toothache.

My 'General Huo Da', you are so poor that you lose your pants, why are you still thinking about the Three Kingdoms of Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Woju.

I don't want you to expand the territory, you can get me some money to spend.

Forced to take a few breaths, Emperor Ling sighed: "The loyalty and bravery of Marquis Weihai is unmatched by anyone in the world, but I am very pleased with this expedition, but I am very embarrassed about the military expenses."

It's not that Emperor Ling doesn't have money, but he doesn't like to take money out of his own pocket.

You must know that this year he just built the Nangong that was burned down, and the heartache of spending a lot of money is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhang Rang naturally knew what kind of temperament Emperor Ling was, so he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Weihai has won the battle. This merit must be remembered and rewarded. Since the Marquis of Weihai is short of money, or the four counties will be transferred to the east." Forget it, but the officials in the county must be selected by Marquis Weihai, so he should think carefully about it."

"This...isn't that good!" Emperor Ling didn't expect Zhang Rang, who always knew my heart, to make such a suggestion. Isn't this obviously a loss of his own interests?

Four counties, how much can this be sold for?

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, these four prefectures have just been defeated, and the barbarians have not been wiped out, but the construction of the city requires money, and I am afraid that no one will take up the post."

Zhang Rangke is smarter than Lingdi, and knows more about the world's major events.

Not to mention the four prefectures that Xu Ding just conquered, even other Dahan counties, there are also many who were appointed by Emperor Ling but did not take up the post.

It is estimated that no one in these four prefectures is willing to spend money to become an official there, and if they are placed in the hands of Emperor Ling, they will be thrown into the pot.

Rather than doing this, it is better to give Xu Ding, let him spend money to build the city, and let him worry about it. If Xu Ding sells his official position, at least there will be some filial piety.

This will not only save you worry, but also make a promise.

It would be a pity if Xu Ding was such a powerful Marquis who fought so hard, not to be recruited as foreign aid.

Zhang Rang knew that there were not many powerful officials in the entire Han Dynasty who were close to their eunuchs, and it was rare for a young general like Huo Qubing to appear, so what if they didn't maintain a good relationship.

So Zhang Rang was not too disappointed that Xu Ding did not send money to Beijing this time.

As for money, he Zhang Rang and others have earned enough, and as long as they keep the glory and wealth in their hands, they will have money at any time.

Emperor Ling was enlightened in this way, and found that this is really the case.

So I agreed with what Zhang Rang said.

The four counties were assigned to Donglai County.

But Emperor Ling agreed, and many ministers in the court disagreed.

People from the Yuan family, in particular, stood up to oppose it. They pointed out that Donglai is a county above the middle level, and there is also Weiyuan Island.

If adding the four prefectures, Xu Ding has half a state in his administration, how can he be allowed to rule such a large place.

"Is it big? How did I remember that Runan County is also very big! The population exceeds 200 million, so according to your opinion, Runan County should not be a county, but a state. Do you want to divide it into six or seven counties?" The minister who supported Xu Ding stood up and laughed.

The population exceeds 200 million, a county is equivalent to a state, and the area of ​​Runan County is indeed very large, with fifty or sixty large cities and counties,

You said horror is not scary.

All of a sudden, the Yuan family became dumbfounded.

Runan County is so big and has such a large population, but it is not divided into several counties. There is a reason for it, but this reason is a politically sensitive issue, so it is difficult to make it clear.

"Okay, that's it. I said that if you row to Donglai County, you will row to Donglai County." Lingdi made the decision quite grandiosely and mightily.

Dongnai has started to prepare for the New Year's Eve, and everyone is immersed in joy.

"Good news, my lord. Your majesty has divided the four counties into Donglai, and they will be under the jurisdiction of my lord."

"Is there any good news? Even if he doesn't give this, wouldn't the four counties belong to us?" Xu Ding didn't have much interest in Luoyang's affairs.

"Uh, my lord, why are you unhappy?"

Xu Ding said: "Now I'm thinking, who should I borrow money from?"

"Borrow money?" Everyone was puzzled.

Xu Ding said: "We won the battle, but owed a lot of debts. How can we celebrate the New Year without borrowing money?"

"But my lord, we obviously didn't spend much money on food, and we didn't spend much on pensions. We didn't owe any money, and there was still a lot of balance in the account books."

Xu Ding looked at the crowd, and then looked up at the sky: "We want everyone in the world to know that we are losing money, and the loss is huge, and we have to rely on debt to survive, so as to avoid those greedy tentacles in Luoyang." ah!"

The people understood.

Yes, don't pretend to be poor, the emperor and Zhang Rang and those eunuchs will definitely ask Donglai for money.

"And the money borrowed now doesn't have to be repaid in the future." Xu Ding said again before looking in the direction of Luoyang.

There is no deep meaning in this sentence.

Don't need to pay it back?

What does it mean?
