Chapter 472 Su Yu Throws Money Away! Zhong Yao Spits Blood, My People Have Been Hijacked Again?
Upon learning the identity of the visitor, all the minor officials were secretly astonished.
What's going on at this government office today? Two bigwigs have come to visit one after another!
However, Zhong Yao's visit yielded very unpleasant results.
The lower-ranking officials couldn't help but feel uneasy.
I've heard that Commandant Su is even more difficult to get along with than Commandant Zhong.
Offending Commander Su will result in being secretly executed in a mysterious location!
Of course, these minor officials were just repeating hearsay.
Most of them were not qualified to be sent to the Ministry of Personnel for execution.
Sensing the bewilderment of the minor officials, Su Yu walked in with a smile.
Then, Su Yu clapped his hands, and his personal guards brought in several large boxes from outside the door.
I didn't count them carefully, but I estimate there are dozens or even hundreds of large boxes.
The loyal sycophant, Zhou Buyi, the number two henchman, immediately addressed the assembled officials:
"Everyone, please stop what you're doing and come over here."
"The Commandant of the Guards knows that you have come to Chang'an far from your hometown, and it is understandable that you miss the local specialties."
"So, we're planning to give you money! So you can use this money to buy some local specialties from your hometown and ease your homesickness."
Feeling insulted by the money, the lowly officials were all dumbfounded!
Su Yu is utterly insulting them! He wants to be their father!
My dear Commandant, you are our long-lost godfather!
Godfather, please accept my bow!
Yes, Su Yu won over these minor officials using the simplest yet most effective method: throwing money around!
Su Yu knew that although these minor officials were not poor, they had considerable assets.
But the assets owned by the family belong to the family, not to them personally.
As hostages who came to Chang'an, their families certainly wouldn't treat them unfairly.
They provided ample travel expenses.
However, housing prices in Chang'an are very high, and after buying a house, there probably won't be much money left.
Therefore, we still have to tighten our belts when necessary.
Besides, who would complain about having too much money?
Money alone isn't enough? Then let's add some other perks!
Xu Chu then shouted at the top of his lungs:
"In addition to this money, all the brothers in this yamen will receive a house in Chang'an!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd!
Money can't solve all problems, but it can solve most of them.
Just like now, comparing Zhong Yao's harshness with Su Yu's generosity, all the minor officials were filled with emotion.
With the support of the Mi family caravan and the Zhen family caravan, Su Yu can be said to be the richest person in the entire Han Dynasty.
Furthermore, Su Yu is the largest real estate developer in Xuchang, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places.
For him, a little money was really just a concept, something external to him.
"I thank you for your care, Commandant!"
"I...I kowtow to Lord Commandant!"
The minor officials were all overjoyed, and some of the more easily moved to tears even burst into tears on the spot.
Jiang Jiong looked at Su Yu with admiration, but then suddenly remembered something, and his expression darkened instantly. He tidied up the items on the table and prepared to leave the government office.
Su Yu observed the expressions of the minor officials and immediately noticed Jiang Jiong, who stood out from the crowd.
Xu Chu understood immediately, brought Jiang Jiong to Su Yu's side, and asked him:
"All the brothers are happy, why are you the only one who is sullen?"
Jiang Jiong felt the pressure emanating from Xu Chu and cupped his hands in greeting:
“I was dismissed by Lieutenant Zhong a quarter of an hour ago and am no longer a member of this government office.”
"Oh? Lieutenant Zhong personally fired you? What just happened?"
Su Yu sensed the impending big surprise.
The minor officials all chimed in, telling Su Yu what had just happened.
After hearing this, Su Yu's lips curled up slightly. This is heaven's help!
To be honest, with a large number of talented people under his command from the Ministry of Personnel, Su Yu is not short of manpower.
As long as he raises his arm and calls, any outstanding talent in the Minister's mansion, as long as they still have reason, will surely choose to follow him to escape their misery.
His purpose in visiting here was simple: to disgust Zhong Yao!
Su Yu's disdain doesn't mean he'll willingly give up his position to Zhong Yao.
Now that's good, these minor officials have received Su Yu's favor, and they will all remember Su Yu's kindness to some extent.
For Zhong Yao, this was like stabbing a knife directly into his heart!
He can either hire a new batch of people, continue using the current group, or compete with Su Yu in terms of financial resources.
If it's just a matter of hiring new people, Su Yu can simply use the same old tricks; he doesn't even need to change his approach.
Continuing to use this group of people is a thorn in Zhong Yao's side, and these people will always remember Su Yu's kindness. Turning them against their own side later will be a piece of cake.
If you want to compete with Su Yu in terms of wealth, then so be it! Let's see who can outlast the other!
Of course, Zhong Yao could also choose to borrow money from his subordinates, under the guise of raising funds.
But Su Yu wasn't alone; he also had a lot of support behind him.
Therefore, Zhong Yao might suffer a loss, but Su Yu has no chance of suffering a loss.
No matter how you play, it's a dead end.
At this moment, Su Yu was overjoyed to discover that the person Zhong Yao had fired was actually Jiang Jiong.
Jiang Jiong isn't famous, but Jiang Wei is!
Su Yu's expression turned serious, and he said to Jiang Jiong:
"Jiang Jiong, listen to my command!"
Jiang Jiong was stunned for a moment, then immediately cupped his hands in greeting to Su Yu:
"I am here, awaiting your orders, Commandant!"
Su Yu smiled and said:
"Since you are no longer a member of this government office, would you be willing to work for me, the Commandant of the Guards?"
"The position of Chief Clerk in the Imperial Guard is still vacant. I think you are very suitable!"
With a "thump," it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Jiang Jiong and all the minor officials behind him were shocked.
The chief clerk was an official with a formal staff, not a clerk.
The level of authority depends mainly on which department one works in.
For example, Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, Cao Ang's Tingwei Mansion, Su Yu's Weiwei Mansion, and Xun Yu's Shangshu Ling Mansion—even the gatekeepers in these places were incredibly powerful!
The saying "Even a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister's gate" is absolutely true.
If you're just a clerk to the county magistrate, your position isn't that high, but it's still much better than being an ordinary minor official.
Jiang Jiongna bowed down.
When he thought there was no way out, a bright future awaited him!
But he was unaware of this at the moment.
His son's future will be much brighter than his!
Just like Deng Ai's father, Deng Chang, Jiang Jiong and Deng Chang could become sworn brothers.
The idiom "a father's status rises with his son's" is perfectly applicable to them.
