This is all expected by Zhang Rang, but he said in his heart that the people who are looking for him basically say that they are asking for officials, and if they buy officials, they will buy officials, and they have to say that they are seeking officials. It's good, but it's not all the same.

Zhang Rang Wen Yan picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the case, "I knew you would be like this, so our family is ready." Now the vacancies below Taishou and Taishou are here, you can choose one, for the sake of Meng De's face, the price is easy to say! ”

Ma Chaoxin said that buying and selling officials is like buying something, and you can bargain, alas, the Han is like this now.

He hurriedly went over and took the bamboo slips, opened it and saw that there were still a lot of Taishou, and the price was clearly marked on the back. But the rest are poor places, which no one likes to go to, even if the price is relatively low, but it still does not sell well.

In fact, if you think about it, you spent money to be a Taishou, but you didn't even get back the capital after the worst, so who can go to such a place, so I went to the place with a lot of oil and water.

Zhang Rang said again: "As for the official positions above the Taishou, they are all under His Majesty, if you are interested, our family can also take you there." ”

"Thank you Master Hou, but the kid doesn't need it. The kid thinks it's okay to be too guarded, but if the official is big, the kid is that piece of material. ”

Zhang Rang smiled when he heard this, "You don't have to be modest, our family believes in Meng De's vision, and he is optimistic that people in Lu will not be wrong!" ”

Ma Chao only wants to be a Taishou now, and he hasn't thought about anything else, because he has his own ideas. Being an official in the DPRK and China did not do him much good, and now it is the fourth year of Guanghe, that is, in October 181. Now, if you find a place and develop it well, when the world changes, you can have a base and a guarantee, and you can do more. But if you are an official in Luoyang, you can't occupy Luoyang, you don't have that much ability, so let's find a place to slowly figure it out.

In the end, he chose Dunhuang County in Liangzhou, the first reason was that it was cheap, and it was only two million yuan. Of course, there is a cheaper one in Liangzhou, the Taishou of Jiuquan County. But Ma Chao understands that the population under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang County is more than twice that of Jiuquan County, so in comparison, he still chose a person with a larger population.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the kid has already been chosen."

"Okay, where are you going to be an official?"

"The kid wants to go to Dunhuang County!"

"That, Meng, Meng Qi, this Dunhuang County is remote, and I heard that bandits are rampant near Yumen Pass, are you changing places? We have a better place than Dunhuang to see and secluded! ”

Zhang Rang kindly reminded Ma Chao on Cao Cao's face, Ma Chao understood what he said, but he had his own plans. That's right, there are still a number of Taishou guards in counties stronger than Dunhuang on the bamboo slips, but of course the price is also high. Although the price is really not a problem for Ma Chao now, he doesn't want to spend that unjust money, because Ma Chao means to start developing from Liangzhou, so naturally he wants to choose the county of Liangzhou, and among the vacant taishou in Liangzhou, only he can see Dunhuang in Dunhuang.

Liangzhou is indeed small and poor, but it is not for nothing that Ma Chao wants to develop there. First, Liangzhou is his second home, and his familiarity with Liangzhou is definitely more familiar than that of other states, including his hometown Sili.

And Liangzhou is poor, and there is no food, but part of the reason why he went to Dunhuang to be a taishou was for money. Of course, it was not to loot the people's money, but to do business. Dunhuang is located in the northwest of Liangzhou, which is the only place to pass through to the Western Regions. It is also where the Silk Road is located, yes, there are bandits near Yumen Pass, but what others don't care about doesn't mean that they don't care.

And he cooperated with the Mi family, let the Mi family send a caravan to do business with the Western Regions, and he sent troops to protect them all the way, I believe that in this way, the money is still easy to earn. Those people in the Western Regions are rich masters, who will earn if they don't earn their money? As for the issue of food, it is much easier to handle. With the previous cooperation with Mi Taigong, thirty percent of the grain and two percent of the money will always be enough for a period of time.

Liangzhou produces horses, and it is also the best quality of Dahan, which is also a reason why Ma Chao values it. Moreover, the people of Liangzhou are fierce and martial, and it can be said that their combat power is also quite good. Although he still has to beware of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, Ma Chao feels that if he can't even deal with the Qiang people, then how can he go to the Central Plains with the heroes, then it is really better to go home to farm and hold the child, this little alien race is not a problem at all.

Based on the above reasons, Ma Chao chose Liangzhou and Dunhuang County. And his plan is that as long as there is a change in the world, once there is a good opportunity, then occupy Liangzhou first, and then use Liangzhou as a base to fight for the world. Of course, this is just the simplest idea, which is basically what it means, and he will also formulate a strategy for world domination according to the changes in the current situation.

"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, but Liangzhou is also the second hometown of the kid, and now the kid's parents are in Liangzhou, the kid has been studying for more than three years but has never gone home, if you go to Dunhuang to be an official, you can go home to visit your parents and relatives!"

Ma Chao's words were half-true, but Zhang Rang nodded when he heard this, looking at it that way, he quite understood.

"Meng Qi, since this is the case, then our family will not persuade you. If it's Liangzhou, then Dunhuang County is indeed okay! ”

"What Master Hou said is very true, and the kid thinks the same!"

"Our family will report this matter to His Majesty, and you will prepare the money in the next few days, and our family will look for you in a few days!"

Zhang Rang could see that Ma Chao didn't bring so much money, indeed, it was impossible to carry two million money with him, and everyone knew it. So Zhang Rang gave Ma Chao a few days to prepare money, he didn't think that Ma Chao couldn't come up with the money, and people without money would not come to buy officials. It's just a matter of how much money you have and how big you want to buy an official.

Maybe it was difficult for you to ask Ma Chao to come up with two million dollars a long time ago, but now that he has already cooperated with the Mi family, it is not a problem at all to borrow two million money from the Mi family. And two million dollars is really not a matter for a rich family like the Mi family.

"Thank you so much, Master Hou, the kid will get the money ready in a few days!"

Ma Chao thanked Zhang Rang, but he didn't feel that Zhang Rang had anything. In addition to the unbearable voice of speaking, the others, Zhang Rang can also make this person. This can only be said that he doesn't understand Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang is completely giving Cao Cao face to the Cao family, so he takes more care of Ma Chao, or you see if he is like this if he changes to someone else.

"Thank you for our family, you don't need to thank Mengde! Speaking of which, this is the first time Meng De has come to beg our family, and our family can't help but give this face no matter what! ”

"Master Hou and Brother Meng De are both grateful, since this matter is over, then the kid will not bother Master Hou, and the boy will leave!"

"You're pretty good at talking, okay, you can go yourself!"

"No, the kid quit!"

After speaking, Ma Chao turned around and left. After leaving Zhang Rang's mansion, he took a few breaths of fresh air, and said in his heart that he had finally left, and if he stayed any longer, he might be able to collapse. In fact, not only the ears, but also the nose is irritated. But now it's good, and it's finally seeing the light of day again.

Ma Chao returned to Cao Cao's mansion, and when Cao Cao saw Ma Chao coming back, he hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, you are back, how are you talking?" ”

Ma Chao glanced at Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, you are not interesting enough, at the critical moment, you slipped away first, and only the younger brother was left alone to face it alone!" ”

Cao Cao knew that Ma Chao couldn't complain a few words, and he didn't care, "Hahaha, I don't think it's good for my brother to disturb my brother's business!" ”

Ma Chao had an expression that I was defeated by you, and Cao Cao smiled again when he saw this.

"I don't know where the virtuous brother is going to be an official?" Cao Cao got down to business and asked the questions he cared about.

"The younger brother chose Dunhuang Taishou, what does Brother Meng De think?"

Cao Cao naturally wouldn't be such a simple idea as Zhang Rang, as soon as he heard that it was Dunhuang, he understood, "Yes, my Cao Mengde didn't see the wrong person, the virtuous brother really didn't disappoint his brother, hahaha!" ”

If Ma Chao found a comfortable and wealthy county official, Cao Cao would not feel like his Ma Mengqi's style. Dunhuang is definitely not a peaceful place, and in Cao Cao's view, only that kind of place can show that Ma Chao has more achievements and shows his ambitions.

Ma Chao smiled back at Cao Cao, but didn't say anything. He said in his heart, I am not as simple as you think, and only I know my own thoughts.

"I wonder if the money is enough?"

Cao Cao was worried that Ma Chao would not have enough money to buy officials, but he thought about it again, he might be too worried, and ordinary people who buy officials will always have money. It can be said that Cao Cao was bent on helping Ma Chao become an official, so that he didn't think too much about this aspect before.

"Brother Lao Mengde cares about the little brother, Dunhuang Taishou is two million money, only need Brother Meng De to borrow the little brother's paper and pencil to use, and the money will naturally be there in a few days!"

Cao Cao nodded, took a pen and paper and gave it to Ma Chao. Today's paper is still a very expensive thing, and Cao Cao used Zuobo paper, which was very generous and gave it to Ma Chao. Ma Chao nodded secretly, if it weren't destined to be-for-tat in the future, maybe he would have a good relationship with Cao Cao, but even if he would be an enemy in the future, it wouldn't affect much now, and Ma Chao felt that he would always remember this friendship now.

"Thank you, Brother Mengde!"

Ma Chao wrote a letter to Mi Taigong, the content of the letter was very simple, it was nothing more than that he wanted to borrow two million money, and he could deduct it from the future share. This money is urgent, and the sooner it arrives, the better. He believed that as long as Mi Taigong saw his letter, the money would be delivered immediately. After the envelope was completed, Cao Cao asked one of his subordinates to personally deliver the letter to Donghaiqu County, Xuzhou.

His own words are too well recognized, but for insurance, Ma Chao handed over the snow drinking knife to Cao's subordinates and asked him to take his knife to see Mi Taigong. Dao Mi Taigong also recognizes it, not to mention that Mi Zhen and Cui An are here, this time there should be no problem at all.

"It turns out that the virtuous brother is still familiar with the Mi family in the East China Sea!"

After the subordinates left, Cao Cao said to Ma Chao.

"Yes, the younger brother has business dealings with the Mi family!" Ma Chao replied.

Cao Cao frowned after hearing this, he didn't look down on businessmen like most people, or he wouldn't have told Ma Chao that you still know the Mi family. It's one thing to know, but it's another thing if you go into business, in Cao Cao's thoughts, he still has the idea of light business.

I only heard him say to Ma Chao: "If the virtuous brother used to be in business for a living, it is not good to say too much for the brother." But after the virtuous brother is too guarded, he must not do business again! ”

In his opinion, Ma Chao should be a good official and serve the country, how can he be a businessman.

When Ma Chao heard this, he said in his heart that if I don't do business, what will I do to fight with you in the future. But no matter how he thought about it, he also knew that he couldn't refute Cao Cao, everyone had good intentions, not to mention that if this matter was to be argued here, it was estimated that it would not be over.

"What Brother Meng De said is very true, after the younger brother is an official, he should serve the country and benefit one party. And those things will be left to others to do, and the younger brother will not personally ask anymore! ”

Ma Chao is indeed telling the truth, it is impossible for him to personally take care of business matters in the future, so he will naturally hand it over to others to take care of.

Sure enough, after listening to Ma Chao's words, Cao Cao didn't say much. He is not against business, but thinks that it is indeed like Ma Chao said, those can be completely handed over to his subordinates to do, and he has more important things to do.

"Brother Xian can be so good, hahaha, very good!"
