Emerging out of nowhere, Lin Han obtained a special and unique building from a newbie lottery, thus beginning his legendary life.
Zhang Jiao: This child is extraordinary and has the potential...
Magical Powers: [Bloodthirst] [Violent] [Evil Body] [Madness]
Dian Wei hadn't broken through his bottleneck, but his other attributes had increased, which was a pity for Lin Han. If Dian Wei could break through his shackles and achieve god-level status, he would have made a fortune.
However, Dian Wei's loyalty has now become absolute, which surprised him.
In the council hall, only Tian Feng and Jia Xu were present.
"The emperor sells official positions at a fixed price. From the highest officials up to the three dukes and nine ministers, anyone can be appointed as long as they have enough money. Wenhe, Yuanhao, what do you think?" Lin Han asked.
Jia Xu was fine, but Tian Feng looked very bad.
"A foolish ruler will lead to the destruction of the country." Tian Feng snorted coldly.
Lin Han couldn't help but secretly complain about the "straight man". If the emperor heard this, he would probably execute him directly.
After his anger, Tian Feng calmed down a bit.
"My lord, you can't buy official positions. If you do this, you will be despised by the people and celebrities all over the world. The loss will outweigh the gain. If you want to recruit celebrities from all over the world again in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
"Yuan Hao is absolutely right!"
Jia Xu deeply agreed with this.
"Buying an official position is out of the question. However, the imperial court selling land is a viable option. We can use our money to purchase the mountains and plains surrounding Hanjiang City, creating fertile farmland to supplement the city's food supply. We have rare commodities like potatoes and cotton, so even in times of chaos, Hanjiang City will no longer have to worry about food."
"Yes, behind Hanjiang City is the Dabie Mountains, adjacent to Jing and Yu states, this place can be used." Tian Feng added.
"There is also the plain below the Qianshan Mountains, which can also be taken into your possession. There are thousands of acres of fertile fields and abundant rivers there, which can be purchased."
Jia Xu and Tian Feng gave Lin Han advice.
Lin Han, who originally wanted to pay a high price to buy a high-ranking official, decisively gave up the idea when he heard that he was despised by famous people all over the world and it would be extremely difficult to recruit him.
The special thing about this game is that it has many hidden settings. The system will not clearly state the settings, allowing you to explore them yourself.
Since the strategist in the game said so, it must be a hidden setting.
If you spend money to buy an official position, you have to bear the consequences, and the invisible reputation is the consequence.
In Lin Han's view, developing the territory and recruiting famous people from all over the world are the top priorities, as they are the capital for dominating the world in the future.
Buying land and farmland is also a good idea.
Store grain in large quantities and build high walls.
"Okay, I will go to the capital and buy land in Dabie Mountains." Lin Han said with certainty.
During the bandit stage, Hanjiang City could expand at will. Now that it has been recruited by the court, he has become an official in the court. The willful expansion is no longer possible. Otherwise, he would have to pay high taxes and work for the court.
It is definitely a good thing that you can buy land now.
"Yuan Hao, how much money is left in Hanjiang City?"
"Mrs. Ba Qing knows the city's finances better than anyone else," Tian Feng said.
The city's finances were managed by Ba Qing.
Lin Han asked someone to call Ba Qing over.
"The treasury still has three million taels of gold, twenty-three million taels of silver, and four and a half billion five-zhu coins," Ba Qing said. "Recently, we've invested a lot in improving the city's defenses, building a cement kiln, a paper mill, and opening a cinnabar mine. Over time, these investments will slowly be recouped."
Ba Qing reported the family's financial situation, which made Lin Han lick his lips, but he was only surprised.
His "private money" was in the Great Xia Dynasty.
When he first entered Luoyang, he dug up the homes of the eunuchs and corrupt officials in Luoyang and dug out all their secret vaults. Lin Han didn't even calculate how much money he had taken. Anyway, he was definitely the richest player in the game.
"Give me 500,000 taels of gold, and I'll go to the capital to find out about buying land." Lin Han said generously.
The price of one of the Three Dukes was 10 million coins (one million taels) of gold. Cui Lie got the position by paying 50% off through the relationship with the emperor's wet nurse and paid 5 million coins.
With 500,000 taels of gold, he could buy a lot of things.
He did not covet the position of one of the Three Dukes, and would not choose to buy an official position. He wanted to buy land.
