It turned out that more than half a month ago, a small group of troops in Goguryeo invaded the territory and went to Xuansu County to loot everywhere, and there was only a few hundred squads at first, and they were ready to loot when they passed by Xinghuo Village.

As a result, Zhang Jiang led the troops to defeat the battle, and the leader suffered a defeat, and found that there were many things that Xinghuo Village had never seen, so he entangled a few nearby squads, and two or three thousand people came to fight Xinghuo Village together.

However, he still couldn't defeat the 800 soldiers in Xinghuo Village, so he reported the situation here, and as a result, all the teams that came out to loot this time were all attracted, with tens of thousands of people, to launch a sneak attack on this small village.

Zhang Jiang's four people, with 800 private soldiers, resisted hard, but even if they were elite soldiers, 800 people could not carry an army of tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, Gongsun Du had the foresight to go to Gongsun Cheng for help when Goguryeo called for help the second time, but the county soldiers were still one step late.

When the county soldiers arrived, Zhang Jiang and several people were already wounded, and there were not even half of the private soldiers left, but they did not let the Goguryeo army step into Xinghuo Village.

Seeing that Gongsun Du had borrowed the county soldiers, Goguryeo did not dare to fight again, and fled back to Goguryeo one after another.

"My lord, it's all my fault, if I could have been faster on the road, even if it was only half a day in advance, Zhongzhong and the others would not have ......" Gongsun Du said with a look of remorse, slamming his fist on the table.

Zhang Hao didn't speak, and fell into deep thought.

Looking at Zhang Hao frowning for a while, and nodding frequently for a while, everyone didn't make a sound, knowing what Zhang Hao was thinking, for fear of disturbing him.

"Brother Shengji, help me find Youzhong." It seemed that some kind of decision had been made, Zhang Hao looked up at Gongsun Du and said.

After Gongsun Du went out, Zhao Yun was just about to speak, but when he saw Zhang Hao falling into deep thought again, he opened his mouth without making a sound, and sat down again.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" Zhang Xi walked into the house and asked.

"Youzhong, how much money can you come up with now." Zhang Hao saw Zhang Xi come in and asked.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Xi asked curiously, and the others were puzzled.

"I'm going to buy an official, just buy a county order, can I take out so much money." Zhang Hao said with a firm face.

Now the government is corrupt and the state finances are drying up. Emperor Ling openly sold officials, and even announced the price of buying officials, 20 million yuan for 2,000 stones, 4 million yuan for 400 stones, and local officials were even twice as expensive as Beijing officials

When buying an official, you can not only receive cash, but also on credit, and if you owe on credit, you have to repay double the price, and different objects also have different prices. **In order to sell more officials, officials are often replaced. Because the money obtained is stored in the West Garden, it is known as the "West Garden Selling Officials" in history.

Officials who bought official positions spent large sums of money, some even on credit, so as soon as they took office, they stepped up their raids on the people, making the people's lives even more difficult.

"My lord, the prices vary from county to county, so I don't know what kind of adults are going to buy." Zhang Xi asked without a little expression, in his mind, it was Zhang Hao who asked him to do whatever he wanted.

"It's best for us to go to Gaoxian County." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.

"Gaoxian County is a sub-county, and it is a border land, eight or nine million is enough, my lord, I will prepare ten million for you." Zhang Xi said after the calculation.

The county seat is divided into large counties, upper counties, sub-counties, and small counties, and there are many differences in status, and the prices are naturally different.

"Senior brother, I don't know what your plan is." Zhao Yun asked curiously.

"Now our self-protection ability is still insufficient, buy a county order, we can raise county soldiers openly, and it will also be convenient for us to crusade against Goguryeo in the future." Zhang Hao explained lightly.

"Zihan, even if you buy an official position, this county soldier is not distributed by the imperial court, and you have to recruit and support it yourself, which is a lot of money." Cheng Yu said worriedly.

Of course, Zhang Hao knew what Cheng Yu was worried about, because he was afraid that in order to take revenge, he would buy an official to expropriate and extort money, develop the military, and harm the people.

"Mr. Zhongde is too worried, it's just money, and the kid has it." Zhang Hao smiled and said.

Zhang Xi also nodded on the side, the money in his hand, let alone buying a county order, even the county taishou can afford it.

Zhang Hao didn't know that Zhang Xi was so rich, what he thought was that in his mind, there were so many ways to make money, and he wouldn't go to loot the people's fat and ointment to raise the army.

"Haha, it's my little family who is angry, can't I compensate Zihan." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"You're welcome, sir." Zhang Hao arched his hand and said.

In fact, in Zhang Hao's heart, he didn't just want to buy a county order, he now has the mind to compete with the heroes in this troubled world.

Zhang He's death stimulated Zhang Hao a lot, and the original Zhang Hao just wanted to do something to improve the quality of life of these people.

But now he found that if there was no force so powerful that it was terrifying, he couldn't even protect the people around him.

He still remembered that he had told Zhang Jiang that they must let them live a good life, but before it could be realized, Zhang He left him.

If you don't have your own forces, when the troubled times come, you can only be like a fallen leaf, swaying with the wind.

Therefore, Zhang Hao is ready to participate in this troubled world and create a world for the people around him.

And now look at his side, there are already a lot of capable people, such as the victorious general Zhao Zilong, the enemy Zhang Sanye, the prince of Liaodong, Sun Du, and the unknown but powerful Tong Fei in history, as well as Zhang Jiang and Zhang Wen.

There are even a few Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, as well as the ghost talent Guo Jia, who will basically be tied to their chariots, and the talented Cheng Yu will be sooner or later.

In terms of reputation, his identity as the son of Zheng Xuanyi is no worse than that of other princes.

"Mr. Zhongde, you and Fengxiao will stay in the village for the time being, I still have to go to Luoyang, I can't introduce you to this Xinghuo Village." Zhang Hao first confessed to Cheng Yu.

If you want to create a piece of the world, this Cheng Yu must be firmly grasped in his hands.

"It's okay, I'll just walk around here by myself." Cheng Yu said.

He felt that Zhang Hao's temperament had changed all of a sudden, and he couldn't put it into words, but now he was not only interested in the new things that Zhang Hao said, but also more interested in Zhang Hao.

"Brother Shengji, you should accompany Mr. Zhongde more during this time."

"No problem." Gongsun Du agreed.

"Senior brother, Zilong pack up and follow me into Beijing."

"Good"

After some instructions, the group prepared to go.

For the village, Zhang Hao is very relieved, aside from his ability, from the beginning of the construction of the village, Gongsun Du has been busy and has taken care of the village in an orderly manner.

At the end of this side, Hua Tuo also took someone to take care of Zhang He's body, and the next day, a simple funeral was held for Zhang He, and Zhang He was buried with those soldiers who died in battle.

After the funeral, Zhang Hao took Tong Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Wen on the road to Luoyang, the capital division, there was no Zhang Wen, but he heard that he was going to Luoyang, and he wanted to follow him to see it, so Zhang Hao simply brought it with him.
