At the banquet in the evening, the old county commander invited other officials and the three elders of Fang County, and at the banquet, the old county commander introduced Zhang Hao to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's banquet, in addition to seeing off the old man, is also to give our Fang County's new county order to catch the wind."

"This is the new county order of Fang County in the future, Zhang Hao and Zhang Mingde." The old county commander pointed to Zhang Hao, who was sitting on the chief, and said.

"We've seen Zhang County's order."

"Hey, the younger generation is just a county official, acting on behalf of the county order, and he can't be called the county order, you love it."

"With Zhang County's talent, it will be a matter of time before this pronoun is removed, don't you think it's right?" The one who spoke was a wanderer, surnamed Li.

As long as it is in the land of the Han people, there will definitely be clans. The Shi clan is also a powerful clan, the difference is that the Shi clan is mainly passed down from generation to generation with political power as a link, and there are people in each generation of the family who are officials, at least more than a thousand stones.

And the clan is linked by blood relations, and all the clansmen gather together to form a local power.

If the government wants to govern the locality, it will have a good relationship with the local clan forces. Low-level official positions such as Qiang Fu and You Yi are basically held by the patriarchs of these clans.

In the early period of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty implemented a strong cadre and a weak end as a national policy. When the emperor ascended the throne, he would start building his own mausoleum, and then he would build a castle near the mausoleum, called the mausoleum. Every once in a while, the imperial court would screen out wealthy merchants from all over the world and forcibly relocate them to live in the mausoleum.

Although all their wealth will be retained, all the connections they have built up in the local area are gone, and what awaits them is the people. This not only strengthened the strength of Guanzhong, but also made it impossible for too many forces to appear in the local area.

After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism officially became the guiding ideology during the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.

The grassroots official positions in Fang County are all in the hands of those big clans.

"Yes, what Li Youyou said is right, this is a matter of time or time." The crowd chimed in.

"Anyway, acting as the county commander is also exercising the authority of the county order, and it doesn't hurt for everyone to call you Zhang County Order." This is an old man in his sixties, who used to be a county magistrate, and after retiring, he became the third elder of Fang County. When the old county order returns to his hometown, it is estimated that it is also such a treatment, reflecting the virtue of the country's respect for the elderly.

Zhang Hao felt that if he listened to their flattery to him now, then there might be a letter on the table of the subject Taishou reporting that he had no court and intended to rebel. It's better to be careful.

"Please also call me Zhang Xiancheng or Mingde in the future. In short, it's better not to call the prefectural order. Zhang Hao shook and said. At this moment, Zhang Hao has labeled these people as sycophants.

The old county commander who was in charge of the throne also spoke at this time, "This is just a title, everyone just knows it." Li Youxi, didn't the old man remember that when you came, didn't you say that you had prepared a gift for Zhang Xiancheng? Don't hurry up and take it out. ”

It seems that this old county order has a lot to do with Li Youxi, Zhang Hao thought to himself.

"Yes, yes, I did have a little bit of something for me." Then, Li You took out a small box from his side, got up and walked to Zhang Hao and opened the box, which was full of yellow and clear gold cakes.

"It's just fifty gold, Wangzhang County is smiling."

Zhang Hao looked at Li Youyi in surprise, and actually bribed himself in public. But he saw that the old county commander and the county lieutenant Cheng, who had not spoken, all looked at him with a smile. "Oh, so they all took the money."

"I know that you are a noble son from a big family, and this money will definitely not be taken into your eyes, but you must accept it for the sake of this humble position."

Zhang Hao thought about it again and again, and felt that if he left the impression that he was unwilling to cooperate with these local snakes here, then he would not be able to do anything here.

"If that's the case, then I'll take it." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Immediately, everyone smiled and said that they also had a small gift. By the end of the banquet, Zhang Hao had received a total of two million dollars worth of gifts.

Zhang Hao really didn't expect that Fang County looked poor, but those clan forces were quite rich.

"Well, I can use that money somewhere else." Zhang Hao looked at the gifts piled up in front of him, thinking about how to spend the money.

……

The next day, after Zhang Hao handed over the affairs with the old county commander, he left with his family, servants and a few carts of belongings.

It's just that when he left, only Zhang Hao went to see him off. The old man didn't feel anything, and he still looked like he was smiling and welcoming.

But the old county commander was very grateful to Zhang Hao for being able to send him off. He gave Zhang Hao a horse that was all dark, but only had a pinch of white hair on its forehead, as if it had three eyes.

"This horse's name is Heifeng, it was given by Li You when he begged the old man to do something a year ago, and it is a rare war horse, worth at least ten gold."

"Now that people are going to tea and cool, the old man can't use this war horse, so he will give it to Mingde."

Sure enough, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. When this old man was an official, the two sides used each other, and after they got old, it was like they didn't know each other.

Zhang Hao did not refuse, accepted the war horse, and he planned to transfer it to Zheng Meng's cousin.

"Thank you, junior."

"Oh, and this slave, he was given to the old man by Li Youyi along with this horse, and he is very good at taking care of the horses."

After seeing the old county order leave, Zhang Hao looked back at the slave who was bent over and didn't dare to look up at him, looking at the top of his head with only a piece of hair and the scars on his face, Zhang Hao felt that if he was not a criminal who had been tortured, then he would be a Yidi. Because the Han people at this time paid attention to the hair and skin of the body, the parents who received it would not easily lose their hair and scratch their faces.

Zhang Hao asked, "Are you from Xianbei?" ”

"No, the villain is a Wuhuan man, my master." Said the slave.

"You can actually speak Chinese."

"It was the previous master who asked the villain to learn, because he doesn't know Wuhuan language, master."

"What did you do before? How did you become a slave? ”

"The villain used to be a herdsman in the tribe, and the tribe where the villain belonged was defeated because of the competition for pasture with other tribes, and the villain became a slave on the battlefield and other people who did not die in battle, and then were sold to the Great Han."

"Then you should be very good at taking care of livestock, right?"

"Yes, master. In the past, the livestock in the tribe were fed by villains. ”

Saying this, this is still a talent who knows how to herd, Zhang Hao began to re-examine this slave. An idea suddenly came to my mind.

"What was your original name?"

"The villain's name is Wuda, master."

Zhang Hao shook his head, "The name Wuda is not good, since you know Chinese now and live in Han land, you should go to a Chinese name." ”

Uda suddenly knelt down, "Please give the master a name." There was a hint of excitement and joy in his voice.

Zhang Hao didn't know where he was happy, didn't he just choose a name

"In the future, you will follow my surname Zhang, and you will be called Zhang Da."

"Thank you for your name, thank you for your name. I'll be called Zhang Da in the future, and I'll be called Zhang Da. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, looking at it like that was so happy.

"It's just a name, are you so happy?"

"The master does not know that in the steppe only a slave who is recognized by the master will give him a name. You named the villain Zhang Da, which means that you recognize the villain, so the villain is so happy. Zhang Da explained.

"Oh~" Zhang Hao understood.

"You get up first. You remember, you are no longer a Wuhuan Wuda, but a Han Chinese. So those old customs and habits should be forgotten. ”

"No, the villain must try to be a good Han man." Zhang Da said firmly.

The appearance of Zhang Da made Zhang Hao have an idea in his heart, if it is implemented well, it can bring great benefits, that is, to do animal husbandry.

Fangxian is vast and sparsely populated, and there are large areas of plain land that have not yet been developed, which can be used as pastures and cattle and sheep. If you want to raise horses, you have to ask for instructions at that time, after all, you will definitely not only raise a few horses, and if you don't get permission, if you are considered to be intent to rebel, it will be cold, and now it is not the time when the world is in chaos.

"I remember that when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he brought back a plant called alfalfa that is very suitable for pasture, and I don't know where to get it."

In terms of funds, the public funds that have been distributed are simply not enough, even if you add the money you bring and the money that those people bribe yourself, it is still a little insufficient.

"I didn't expect to need to ask those people for help so soon, but don't rush first, you have to let them see the benefits first." Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
