When Guo Da left, Zhang Hao found Zhang Xi.

"Master."

"Well, let's get used to it here." Zhang Hao asked.

Zhang Xi has been taking care of business all these years, and he has not been with Zhang Hao all the time, and after a long time, he is afraid that there will be a gap between him and others.

"It's good to be able to follow the master." Zhang Xi said respectfully.

"Relax, I can still eat you." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Master, the little ones don't dare to overstep." Zhang Xi said, but a smile still appeared on his face.

Over the years, Zhang Jiang and several people have been following Zhang Hao's side, born and died together, only he has been taking care of business, and he has no chance to follow Zhang Hao, and he feels that he has been a little estranged from everyone.

"you." Zhang Hao scolded with a smile and kicked on Zhang Xi's general stock.

Although Zhang Hao has lived in this era for many years, he still can't get used to this kind of hierarchy, he has never regarded Zhang Jiang and the others as his subordinates, at best, he works for himself.

Moreover, Zhang Hao has no relatives in this era, except for his father-in-law Zheng Xuan's family, his master Tong Yuan's family, and Zhang Jiang are his closest people.

"Youzhong, instruct people to buy a large amount of graphite in various places, the more the better." Zhang Hao said.

"Master, there are very few graphites on the market, and it takes a lot of money to buy them in large quantities." Zhang Xi said worriedly.

Zhang Hao has the heart to send people to mine by himself, but if he wants to mine, he needs special people to explore, and now he has no such people around him, and he has no energy.

The most important thing is that now the world is still under the control of the Han court, and it cannot be mined at will, so it has to be purchased first.

"Do you have enough money?"

All the money is in Zhang Xi's hands, Zhang Hao has never checked him, but he just asked Zhang Xi when he used it, and he didn't know Zhang Xi's current financial resources.

"Usually let you look at the account, but you don't look at it, and you don't know how much money you have." Zhang Xi snorted.

"What did you say?" Zhang Hao asked, he really didn't hear clearly, but this question startled Zhang Xi.

"Huh? Ah, nothing, master, that's a lot of money for others, but it's just a drop in the bucket for us. Zhang Xi sneered.

"Oh? Are you so rich? Zhang Hao smiled.

"Master, it's all yours, the villain is just watching for you." Zhang Xi said.

Although Zhang Hao has never checked the accounts over the years, Zhang Xi has never been greedy for ink, and he has lived a very simple life after normal expenses.

"Alright, let's do it." Zhang Hao waved his hand and said.

"Yes, master, the villain is leaving." After Zhang Xi finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Zhang Hao suddenly stopped Zhang Xi.

"What else, master."

"Later, prepare some wine and food and send them to my room, and call Bozhong and them to come to my room in the evening." Zhang Hao commanded.

"Yes, master."

After Zhang Xi left, Zhang Hao looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

For so many years, Zhang Jiang and the five people have been conscientiously completing their orders, and they didn't give them much except for a full meal, so it's time to compensate them.

These five people are all older than Zhang Hao, the eldest Zhang Jiang is already twenty-five years old, Zhanghe and Zhanghu are twenty-four, Zhanghu is slightly younger by a few months, Zhanghai and Zhangxi are both twenty-three, and Zhang Xi is slightly younger.

The five of them have been serving Zhang Hao as slaves all these years, and now Zhang Hao wants them to return to their freedom.

As soon as it was dark, Zhang Jiang and the five of them came to Zhang Hao's house with wine and food.

"Master." The five of them entered the house and saluted together.

"Put down the wine and food, today we have no distinction between master and servant, and we will rest when we get drunk." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"The villain doesn't dare." The five said in fear.

"Looking for a draw, huh?" Zhang Hao scolded with a smile.

Wait until the wine and food are put away, a few people sit together, push the cup and change the lamp, the five of them are still a little uncomfortable at first, and only let go a little after the wine has passed three rounds of dishes and five flavors.

"Bozhong, Zhongzhong, Shuzhong, Ji Zhong, Youzhong, how long have we known each other." During the banquet, Zhang Hao asked.

"It's been more than nine years since we started robbing our master, and it's going to be the tenth year soon." Zhang He said with a red face, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed and blushing or blushing because of drunkenness.

"It's been ten years" Zhang Hao sighed, and then said: "From now on, you are no longer my slaves. ”

"Master, the villain is willing to follow the master for the rest of his life." When the five of them heard this, they instantly sobered up and fell to their knees together.

"Get up, why are you so excited?"

"Master, I don't know what we have done wrong, please take back the master's order, and let us continue to serve by the master's side." Zhang Hu said tremblingly.

"Sit down, sit down, when did I say you did something wrong." Zhang Hao asked funny.

"Then why did the master drive us away?" Zhang He looked puzzled.

"Sit down first, sit down I'm talking"

"Yes, master."

"You have followed me for so long, in fact, I have never regarded you as domestic servants, you are my brothers." Zhang Hao said leisurely.

"Let me tell you a secret, my parents starved to death when I was very young, and my father-in-law took me in, so I have no relatives, except for my father-in-law, masters, and a few of you are my family."

When the five "masters" heard this, their eyes were filled with tears.

"I said that you are no longer my slaves, I want to restore your freedom, not to drive you away, I still have so many things to do, you are gone, who will work for me." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"But, master, ......"

"There's nothing to do, Youzhong, tomorrow take out some money, and you will each go to the city to buy some family property."

"Thank you, master," the five of them bowed and said.

"Don't call the master in the future." Zhang Hao said angrily.

"Yes, Lord...... My lord. Suddenly changed their words, and the five of them were still a little unaccustomed to it.

Although the five of them are no longer Zhang Hao's servants, they respect Zhang Hao more in their hearts.

"Do you have any favorite girls, the eldest is not small, and she should also start a family." After calming down, Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"Master, no, my lord, I want to report it." Zhang He jumped up and said.

"Oh? Whatever the situation, if I'm satisfied, I'll be rewarded. Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"It's the eldest brother, every time we go out to walk the horses, he will quietly leave us for a while." Zhang He pointed at Zhang Jiang and said with a smile.

In private, the five of them are all brothers, and it is said that before they met Zhang Hao, several of them were married.

Zhang Hao looked and saw that Zhang Jiang's face was already flushed, and his head was lowered to his chest.

"Big brother, when is it?" Zhang Xi also came up and laughed.

"Go, go, don't listen to Zhong Zhong's nonsense." Zhang Jiang said shyly, and that appearance caused everyone to laugh.
