Chapter 1: Bankruptcy from the Start

Can I travel back in time

one million taels of silver

It is essential to find a way to preserve the title first

Dragon Flame Dynasty, Marquis, Noble Rank, Wealthiest...

Liu Dahao was about to explain

Most people on the street appear haggard and emaciated, dressed in rags. From the perspective of modern individuals like Liu Zheng, these citizens are hardly better off than beggars

Unable to withstand Liu Zheng's look of grievance, Liu Dahao could only agree, but it was essential to establish three rules.

What is the situation

The young master has awakened! Hurry, someone come!

Then ... ...

Throughout the journey, Liu Zheng was also keen to observe everything in this world. Liangzhou, located in the northwest, has barren land and harsh climate. However, this has fostered a robust local character and strong fighting spirit. Liangzhou is adjacent to the desert and has historically produced fierce horses, with its cavalry renowned throughout the world.

In summary, Liu Zheng is nothing but a good-for-nothing spendthrift

And now

Dragon Flame Dynasty, I have arrived

Initially thought it was a dream start, but now it seems the beginning is just bankruptcy

What is the follow-up move

He called out several times, but received no response. It was only then that he realized he was no longer a wealthy heir, but a pauper. That maid was also treated as "property," handed over to others.

but ended up being humiliated at the Liangzhou Poetry Society

He traversed to a dynasty called "Dragon Flame Dynasty." In this life, he is also named Liu Zheng, born in Liangzhou. His father is Liu Dahao, the wealthiest man in Liangzhou.

Liu Zheng hurriedly said

The bedroom, rich in ancient charm, features furniture adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, and the floor is covered with exquisite Persian carpets

Liu Zheng had just enjoyed a moment of luxury, and it wasn't that unbearable. However, everything today was caused by "himself"; how could he not feel guilty in his heart

Young master, young master, please wake up

Liu Zheng was taken aback: "Father, be cautious with your words and books, for that is the governor!"

Money

Two anxious voices of women sounded in my ears

Liu Dahao exclaimed with indignation: "My child, I fear that in the future, our impoverished winter days will seem like luxury, and the days when the white walls and bright pearls are left to wither as flowers will have to be temporarily put to rest! Your actions yesterday have caught the old thief Chen's attention, and this time I am afraid..."

In this era, noble rank and status are indeed more important than money

In a flurry, a large man rushed in

The servant of the governor, who was rough and burly, beat Liu Zheng to the point of bleeding from his head, causing him to faint on the spot

In my memory, the poetry festival will last for seven days, marking the annual grand event in Liangzhou

Young master, be careful!

Father, shall we go to the poetry meeting to observe it again

Then the school lieutenant kept the accounts

Liu Zheng pounded his chest and stamped his feet

Liu Zheng struggled to open his eyes, where am I?

When the folding fan is opened, it exudes elegance and charm

The Liu residence is in complete disarray, with the Liangzhou soldiers rampaging through, showing no mercy towards these treasures

On ordinary days, this is a residence that others can only envy, the foremost luxury mansion in Liangzhou

If one does not sell their property, where can they gather resources

Liu Dahao trembled as he pulled a money pouch from his trousers and discreetly handed it to Liu Zheng, saying: "Our family's assets are not even worth a million taels, let them stir up trouble! They can't just take my estate; that old thief is going too far! I worry that you, Zheng'er, will have no money to squander... Well, without money to get by, I secretly saved five hundred taels in cash for you. Zheng'er, spend it wisely. Give me half a month, and I will surely make a comeback, regaining my status as the richest in Liangzhou. By then, you can continue to spend lavishly. Since I have given you life and raised you, I will ensure you live without worry!"

Both horse-drawn carriages are gone, so they walked out

When Liu Zheng opens his folding fan, countless charms unfold

Liu Dahao sighed, saying: "What saddens me as a father is not my son’s reckless behavior, his wrongdoing, his lack of compassion in wealth, or his engagement in all manner of evil... These are all inherent traits of my son. It is truly rare to remain steadfast in one’s nature, and as a father, I find solace in this fact"

Liu Zheng was tightly embraced by this corpulent body, nearly gasping for breath, his face turning completely dark. Is this a compliment or an insult?

Due to one's own misdeeds, the title is currently in a "parole" status

Liu Zheng's lips twitched, but his eyes began to well up with warmth

Liu Zheng said

Regardless of whether these three views are correct, Liu Dahao's affection for his son is evident to heaven and earth

Liu Zheng said淡淡.

Three days have now passed, and he still has a chance

At this moment, a clamor erupted in the courtyard. Liu Zheng shook off Liu Dahao and hurried outside. Upon reaching the courtyard, he found many guards in a fierce demeanor, shouting loudly, while the members of the Liu family expressed their panic and sobs.

Liu Zheng's eyes brightened; could it be that there is another village where the dark willows and bright flowers meet?

Liu Dahao blinked and said, "Zheng'er, what is this..."

In the bronze mirror, a young scholar with a fair complexion appears

A day like that of an immortal

The fat man has already embraced him tightly, tears streaming down uncontrollably: "Poor my child, at such a young age to suffer such physical torment, that old thief of the Chen family is truly detestable"

Father

Compared to the governor Chen Ping, who is a legitimate graduate with a 985 doctoral degree, Liu Dahao, this local official, is merely a product of a correspondence diploma. In this era of officialdom, the most taboo is the distinction of classes and the act of defying authority. There are many who have been punished for their words.

Boom

Xi Er, help me change my clothes

Isn't this just a typical rich second generation?

Throw the stick out for me

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and asked Liu Dahao: "Father, what does Governor Chen enjoy the most on ordinary days?"

The history of this world prior to the Three Kingdoms is similar to the historical trajectory familiar to Liu Zheng. However, changes occurred in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. After the Wei replaced the Han dynasty, it was soon overthrown by the Xie family of the Longyan Dynasty, followed by various historical disruptions. This has continued for a thousand years to the present day, leading to the current Longyan Dynasty.

Liu Family Manor, covering an area of over ten acres, features Suzhou and Hangzhou garden design, with artificial hills and flowing water, pavilions and towers, a small bridge made of Han white jade, and winding, rugged bluestone paths, creating a stunningly beautiful scene

Liu Zheng wore a look of enjoyment, his heart already filled with ecstasy. In his previous life, he was a 996 worker, and even died from overwork. Is this the heavens compensating him this time

The school officer, with a cold expression, read aloud, and the entire Liu family was filled with sorrow, crying out in anguish.

Young master, are you thirsty

Father

This painting belongs to my Wang family

One person fans, one person wipes sweat and massages legs, one person serves soup, and one person peels fruit

Young master, please be careful

The other maidservants also paused their actions and stood quietly to the side

He lowered his voice: "My son, rest assured, knowing that you are not accustomed to a life of hardship, I have made provisions for you!"

A splitting headache and a body full of aches

This evening is of no concern, Liu Zheng has arrived

Lying on a luxurious bed known as "Ning Ye An Meng," one is immediately enveloped by an unmistakable aura of wealth and nobility

What does this mean? A half-hour experience card for the rich second generation

The Liu family's thugs have arrived, close the door and release the dogs

The only thing that made Liu Zheng shake his head was that Liangzhou was truly too barren

Where is Liu Xianghou?

At that moment, someone respectfully called out

Here, the harvest of crops is mostly poor, and the people are struggling to make ends meet

Who would have thought that Liu Dahao would instead comfort him first: "My son, there is no need to blame yourself. Isn't it just money, these external possessions? As for making money, for me as a father, having hands is enough"

As the saying goes, it is easy to transition from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to revert from extravagance to frugality

Father, please do not be sad. At worst, I will not act so recklessly in the future.

Liu Zheng was taken aback

He changed into scholar's attire, donned a square cap, and held a folding fan in his hand

A pair of blue and white porcelain from the previous dynasty

"Ink and Wash Orchid Courtyard," an authentic piece

What type of suite is this

"As the governor's decree states, you are to raise one million in grain money by today to meet the needs of the ongoing military campaign! Due to the shortage in the accounts of Liu Xianghou, I have come to assist you in liquidating your assets! The heinous actions of your esteemed son have aroused the anger of both gods and men, and can be dealt with accordingly."

As Liu Zheng, the only son of Liu Dahao, grew up pampered and indulged, living in luxury and extravagance, he squandered money as if it were dirt, becoming a notorious spendthrift. After Liu Dahao donated a million taels of silver to obtain a "county marquis" title, Liu Zheng began to engage in all manner of misdeeds, constantly seeking new forms of amusement each day, leading to a scandalous reputation. Wherever he went, chaos ensued, with chickens flying and dogs barking, and children crying.

As assets were liquidated, many wealthy merchants from Liangzhou came to take advantage of the bargains, with these items being sold at half price. With each item announced, Liu Zheng and Liu Dahao trembled in response.

Beside her stood a young maiden, filled with joy and excitement

Liu Zheng is disheveled in the wind

However, no matter what, Liu Zheng, in his reincarnation as a human, still harbors waves of lofty ambition in his heart

A few servants, upon seeing the father and son, immediately brandished their clubs and surrounded them with a murderous intent

Liu Zheng wiped the black lines off his face

The title of the marquis shall be temporarily retained, pending future assessment of his virtue and conduct

Liu Dahao said: "The literary style of Longyan is flourishing, and this old man Chen Ping certainly loves poetry and prose the most. Indeed, isn't that Liangzhou Poetry Conference organized by him? Zheng'er, your act of urinating while drunk truly reflects your father's spirit, hahahaha"

Liu Dahao's expression changed dramatically: "Zheng'er, do not act recklessly. If you continue to cause trouble, I may lose my title! Very well, you may only observe, but do not create disturbances, and absolutely do not drink. Is that understood?"

Starting directly as a super-rich second generation is simply beyond imagination

What a pity! Such good days are not cherished!

What is this about?

Is it you again? Does your home not have a toilet?

Red apricots heralding spring curtains, a table adorned with eight treasures symbolizing good fortune, precious calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a rosewood carved cabinet displaying various exquisite vermilion jade antiques

A flood of information surged into Liu Zheng's mind, and he instantly understood what was happening

Liu Zheng remembered that he was still working overtime. As a 996 worker in the twenty-first century, after seven consecutive days and nights of overtime, he finally felt a sense of impending collapse.

Father said it was no problem

As Liu Zheng rose, four maidens approached cautiously. One supported Liu Zheng's back, another lifted his feet, while the other two held his arms. In an instant, the four beautiful maidens, soft and fragrant, with smooth skin and a youthful allure, enveloped Liu Zheng, making him feel as if he were in a dream

Liu Zheng wishes to offer some words of comfort

Today is another million

By the time Liu Zheng sat up, a maid had already brought over a bowl of red date and white fungus soup, carefully feeding him with an exquisite silver spoon.

Then, Father, you ... ...

Recently, Liu Dahao had just spent more than half of his family fortune to purchase a hereditary title of a rural marquis, which was a significant sacrifice. However, in order to secure a future for his son, Liu Dahao was determined to make this investment

Liu Zheng's mind was instantly filled with countless thoughts

Liu Dahao looked at his son with a strange expression, and then his demeanor changed as he said: "Zheng'er, do not act recklessly. The reason I scold that old thief is because he relies on me for his financial matters. He will not give you the slightest bit of consideration!"

The master has arrived

The reason for being transported back in time to occupy another's nest is that this ancient Liu Zheng, at the Liangzhou Poetry Conference, got extremely drunk and, encouraged by a group of young rascals, made a complete fool of himself, ultimately leading to his own demise by daring to touch the daughter of the governor, Chen Ruoshi

Be careful, everyone! This is the property of the Luo family. Thank you in advance, Liu Xianghou

Liu Zheng also stood up, yet had not spoken.
