After seeing Xie Jing and them, several people were full of emotion. Especially when Xie Jing and others heard about the establishment of the unclothed army, they were even more enthusiastic, although he was only a literati, but Qianlong Village still cultivated the younger generation according to the ancient six arts of gentlemen, so almost everyone can govern the country when they get off the horse, and they can be safe when they get off the horse, but the focus of their relative learning is different.

Xie Jing and the others originally planned to go back at noon today, but they heard from the innkeeper that He Yan had come to look for them, so they waited until now. At this time, when he saw Zeng Yu and them coming, he proposed to go back first.

He Yan originally wanted to continue to talk to Xie Jing and them about lobbying the Zhang family today, but considering that this was an inn and the ears and eyes were mixed, it was more appropriate to return to the manor and talk about it.

When the group returned to the manor, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and after Zeng Yu and the others arrived at the manor, all the villagers who saw him were very excited to salute him. Xie Jing was very curious about this, he just knew that Zeng Yu and they had just arrived here yesterday, and he didn't know why the village names were so grateful to Zeng Yu.

When they went to the mansion, Liu Neng, Ding Xi and Wei Feng were waiting for them in the hall, and the three of them had already drawn up a rough charter for recruiting displaced people today, and they needed to show Zeng Yu a look.

After Zeng Yu and the others came in, they naturally greeted each other. After Zeng Yu asked everyone to sit down one after another, he first talked about the results of today's lobbying of the Zhang family, and everyone was very happy to hear that the Zhang family was willing to support them. Not to mention anything else, they have no source of money at this time, with the support of the Zhang family, it will be much easier to act in all aspects, as for the rest, several people have an understanding of the current situation in Anping County, and naturally know the benefits of the Zhang family agreeing to stand on their side.

After Liu Neng waited for Zeng Yu to finish speaking, he gave Zeng Yu the charter that the three of them had drafted today, and by the way, he talked about their respective views. After Zeng Yu learned about it, he naturally felt that there was no problem, but he told Liu Neng and others that when recruiting homeless people now, we should pay attention to the quality of homeless people, and it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, he is afraid of startling the snake.

Next, Zeng Yu set off to Luoyang with the Zhang family's caravan in three days, although he had explained to He Yan what the others needed to do, but at this time he re-emphasized, especially for Yin Zhuo, he asked everyone to pay attention to him.

After that, it was naturally a grand gathering, and Xie Jing and others took turns to toast Zeng Yu. Especially Xie Jing, he has just heard the people talk about Zeng Yu's deeds in the past two months, such as subduing Zhou Cang, who is a Woniu cottage, and successfully establishing a clothless army; Liberate all the villagers, let everyone get rid of the identity of tenant farmers, and received the allegiance of all the villagers at once, and single-handedly lobbied the Zhang family.

Although they were all very happy, Zeng Yu still controlled everyone's alcohol consumption and didn't let everyone drink too much. At about eight o'clock in the evening, everyone went back.

For the next three days, Zeng Yu stayed in the manor every day, and Zeng Yu re-named the manor, called Lingyunzhuang. Everyone, including the villagers, was very excited about the new name of the manor, and they all saw the ambition of the owner of the manor from the name of the manor.

For example, after hearing the new name of the manor, Village Chief Zhang of Lingyun Village thought in his heart: It seems that the lord is really ambitious! The lord is as kind to everyone as a mountain, no matter what the lord wants to do, his own village must also swear to follow!

Zeng Yu didn't expect that just one name would cause his subordinates to feel so emotional. If he knew, I don't know how he would feel, so that everyone would be more tightly united.

Judging from the enthusiasm of the villagers at present, it is completely different from the past. Zeng Yu asked them to step up two things in the past few days, one is to cut down trees to build houses, and the other is to reclaim wasteland. In just three days, 100 acres of wasteland were reclaimed, and all the thatched houses where the villagers lived before were replaced with new houses.

Three days later, in the early morning, Zeng Yu arrived at the South City Gate early under the escort of Zhu Wen and fifty personal soldiers, and Zhang Fuguang's caravan was already waiting outside the woods.

Today is the day that Zeng Yu agreed with the Zhang family, Zeng Yu will go to the capital Luoyang with Zhang Fuguang's caravan. Before coming out, Zeng Yu had already arranged various matters in Lingyunzhuang. The affairs of the manor are mainly handed over to Liu Neng, and other auxiliaries, some agricultural affairs in the village, are taken care of by Village Chief Zhang.

Zhang Fuguang They had just arrived here less than half an hour ago, and he saw a team appear, and Zeng Yu was among them.

Zhang Fuguang hurriedly greeted him and said hello, "Zirui!" ”

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Brother, you came really early!" ”

Immediately, Zeng Yu and others joined the team, and the group walked along the official road towards Luoyang. Zhang Fuguang found that Zeng Yu did not have a mount, so he led a horse to Zeng Yu to walk. When he saw Zeng Yu's personal soldiers following him, he was very curious, and couldn't help asking: "Zirui, where did you recruit these guards from, I think they seem to be stronger than the guards of my caravan." ”

"These are my own soldiers, and there are fifty others left in the manor, who are brave men selected from many soldiers." Zeng Yu said proudly.

Zhang Fuguang's team had eleven carts, and in addition to the horsemen and servants, there were more than 100 guards. These guards are also very strong, with solemn expressions, and they can be regarded as tigers and tigers when walking. But if you compare it with Zeng Yu's personal soldiers, you can see the gap at once, Zeng Yu's personal soldiers are a group of silent soldiers, they follow behind Zhu Wen, when they are vigilant about the movements around them, but there is no noise at all, but if there is danger to them, they will definitely be able to burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. Zhang Fuguang is not a chick, naturally knows that such a team is more terrifying than his own guards, he is immediately envious, and at the same time secretly determined that he will also train his guards better in the future.

Along the way, Zeng Yu has been with Zhang Fuguang, and the two chatted all over the world.

"Brother, your Zhang family is a rich family, there must be people who are officials in the court, right?" , The subtext of Zeng Yu's words is: Now that you can buy officials publicly, presumably some merchant families will buy one or two official positions for their children. Zeng Yu also knew that it was very abrupt to ask this, for example, it was more private, but he wanted to know how enthusiastic the children of the scholar clan were about buying officials.

Zhang Fuguang didn't think it was wrong, he glanced at Zeng Yu, and then said: "Zirui, although our Zhang family is rich, it is possible to take out 10,000 gold at one time, but it is not a rich country." What's more, now that the relatives of the court are competing for power with the eunuchs, the officialdom is even more difficult to mix, unless it is the family of the official eunuch, or the family of the huge rich with a big background in the court, few families are willing to donate officials. "Although it is helpful for the family to have children in the officialdom to help the family's business, this can be achieved by means of financial and commodity friendship, and the cost is much lower. Therefore, many small and medium-sized families have no one to be an official. ”

After listening to it, Zeng Yu thought about it and understood, and he also knew why Emperor Ling had been selling official titles now, if there were many people buying officials, it would have been saturated a long time ago, how could there still be official positions for sale. Among them, it is risky to be an official now, and after being dragged into the officialdom battle, maybe it will be killed. Another reason is that there are not too many people who buy officials, and some children of big families will only buy officials unless they are mediocre in talent, otherwise those who have talent do not want to buy officials and be looked down upon.

Anping County belongs to Shangdang County, located in the southernmost part of Bingzhou, close to the southern end of the Taihang Mountains.

The group went south along the official road, and Zeng Yu was surprised to find that the farther south they went, the more displaced people appeared. Most of them were poorly dressed and decent, and each of them dragged his body numbly.

Zeng Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: No wonder the yellow scarves in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were out of control, just looking at this scene of displaced people, you can know how difficult the people's livelihood has been at this time. This is still the scope of the division, the heart of the Han Dynasty, there are already so many homeless people here, other places can be imagined.

After walking on the official road for a month, the majestic Luoyang City finally appeared in front of me. Looking at the tall and majestic city gate tower, Zeng Yu's eyes widened, and he was extremely excited. This is the capital of the Han Dynasty that has ruled China for 300 years, and it is currently the largest city in China, and it can even be said to be the most prosperous city in this era.

But now that it is old and decaying, ordinary treatment can no longer be saved, and what is needed is a more pioneering spirit to replace it and let the Chinese civilization shine with new light.

Zhang Fuguang and his entourage were also very excited, not because they had the same feelings as Zeng Yu, but because they finally arrived in Luoyang safely. Along the way, except for Chen Chu, everyone was nervous, you must know that now that there are robbers everywhere, their dozen or so big cars are very eye-catching. And in Hanoi County, there is now a group of powerful bandits, I don't know whether they are afraid of their strength, or they are cleared or driven away by the government, and they do not appear, so the road can be regarded as calm and uneventful.

After entering Luoyang, Zhang Fuguang arranged everyone in a manor of his own industry, the manor is close to the suburbs, Luoyang here gathered the country's elite and most of the families who have been officials for generations, the house is in short supply, and the property of the Zhang family can only buy a small manor away from the center, usually the main Zhang family businessmen come to Luoyang as a resting place.

After settling down, Zhang Fuguang was about to go out to run errands, he first asked Zeng Yu: "Zirui, I want to go out to do errands, do you want to rest first, or go to Hongdumen immediately?" ”

Zeng Yu asked Zhang Fuguang before what he should do to donate the county order. Zhang Fuguang told him that it was very simple, and now the Son of Heaven Emperor Han Ling bought an official in Hongdumen, and he mainly paid the money in the past, and he didn't need to be introduced, and he could get the official certificate on the same day

Chen Chu said: "There is nothing else to do now, I will do this thing first." ”

"Alright, let's go together!"
