About half an incense stick of time later, the guard came out again and respectfully invited Lin Han in.
He Miao was in the lobby. Seeing Lin Han coming in, he just glanced at him casually and said, "I heard that Lord Xiao wanted to see me. What's the matter?"
"Sir He, I am Xiao Hange, the Marquis of Duting. Do you still remember our first meeting at Hulao Pass?" Lin Han bowed and said.
"Hulao Pass? Xiao Hange?"
He Miao's eyes lit up and he looked Lin Han up and down, as if he remembered what happened at Hulao Pass, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out to be Lord Xiao, the Marquis of Duting. Long time no see."
"Master He, long time no see."
"Last time at Hulao Pass, I owed Lord Xiao a favor. What brings you here this time?" He Miao asked casually.
"I heard that His Majesty has issued an order in the West Garden that allows people to pay money to buy official titles and land, so I came to ask to see Lord He and make a request to His Majesty."
"So that's why."
He Miao smiled relaxedly.
"It is true. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Luoyang treasury was plundered, leaving the national treasury empty. The emperor then had people deposit money to buy official titles to replenish the treasury. What title do you want to buy? I will petition His Majesty on your behalf."
"Sir He, I am not buying an official title, but land. I only hope that Sir He can say a few good words for me and give me some discount."
Lin Han ordered the accompanying demon guards to carry the box into the hall.
Two thousand taels of gold.
After it was opened, the entire hall became bright.
He Miao, who was originally leaning on the seat with a listless look, suddenly became energetic after seeing this. He waved his hand and asked the butler to take the box full of gold and send it to the treasury.
Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, the two thousand taels of gold will never return to Lin Han's hands.
"Hahahahaha, no problem."
He Miao asked everyone else to leave, leaving only him and Lin Han in the hall.
"Master Xiao, which piece of land do you want to buy? How much is the deposit?"
"My Lord, I have come here this time to spend all my life's wealth, collecting 500,000 taels of gold, in order to purchase the land of Qianshan, northwest of Lujiang County, outside the Dabie Mountains and He County."
When he heard about five hundred thousand taels of gold, He Miao's eyes lit up.
His small treasury was stolen by the damn Yellow Turban bandits. He was worrying about where to get money to replenish the treasury, but he didn't expect Lin Han to send money.
The emperor amassed wealth, built palaces, hid private treasury, and issued an edict to sell out officials, all of which were caused by the slander of eunuchs.
They all knew that the entire residence of the eunuchs in Luoyang had been dug up by the Yellow Turban bandits, who had stolen countless treasures.
When the Yellow Turbans retreated and the officials returned, many of them knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Half a lifetime of hard work was wiped out by the Yellow Turbans in one day.
Now they can enrich themselves by selling official positions.
"Sir Xiao, how much gold do you want to buy the Dabie Mountains and Qianshan?"
"My Lord, I brought 500,000 taels of gold with me this time, and I don't want to ship it back. If you can help me buy the land of Dabie Mountain and Qianshan Mountain in Lujiang County, I will give the extra money to you as a reward for your hard work."
"Okay, okay, okay! Hahahahaha..."
He Miao laughed so hard that he almost hugged Lin Han. It took him a moment to come back to his senses.
"Marquis Xiao Ting is indeed a hero among men. I have a close friendship with him and I owe him a favor at Hulao Pass. If he needs help, I will do my best to help him."
"Marquis Xiao Ting, please wait for two days. I will go to the palace to see the Queen tomorrow and speak well of you to His Majesty to help Marquis Xiao Ting buy the land."
"Thank you, Lord He." Lin Han said humbly.
After drinking two cups of tea with He Miao in the mansion and chatting about all sorts of things, Lin Han took Dian Wei and others away and returned to the courtyard of the mansion he bought in Luoyang to wait.
Not long after Lin Han returned to the mansion, an unexpected visitor appeared.
Cao Cao.
