Qi Ming took his subordinates to eat and stay overnight, and after half a month of non-stop travel, they arrived in Luoyang.

Arriving outside Luoyang City, he placed most of his subordinates in a county town outside Luoyang City, and ordered them to repair there and stand by, while he led more than ten of his subordinates to disguise themselves as city merchants and pushed more than ten carts into Luoyang City.

The capital city of Luoyang, the city is six miles east and west and eleven steps, and the north and south are nine miles and one hundred steps", so it is commonly known as "ninety-six cities".

Luoyang City is surrounded by 12 city gates, and the city gate captain and Sima and other officials are in charge, and each gate is set up with a "Hou" person, who is responsible for guarding the affairs of the city gate.

From north to south, the east city wall is the upper east gate, the middle gate, and the Wangjing gate, and the south city wall is the Kaiyang gate, the flat city gate, the Yuan gate, and the Tianjin gate from east to west.

Among them, the Pingcheng Gate was originally the palace gate, and the Tun Sima was placed without a marquis, and the emperor entered and exited from this gate more, and was the most honorable among the gates.

From south to north, the west city wall is Guangyang Gate, Yongmen, and Upper West Gate.

Among them, the upper west gate is decorated with red lacquer, with copper and jade balance, to Qi Qizheng.

From west to east, the north wall is the summer gate and the valley gate. There are pavilions in the twelve city gates, such as Jinyang Gate has Jinyang Pavilion, and Xia Gate has Xiamen Pavilion.

Qi Ming and his men entered the city through the west gate, and they felt a kind of surprise at the prosperity of the imperial city.

Luoyang City was the most prosperous capital of the Han Dynasty, with a population of more than one million, and the road was bustling with people, a scene of prosperity and prosperity, which was not affected by the Yellow Turban turmoil in the early years.

Staying at one of the largest inns in the north of the city, Qi Ming began to collect information about Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang was a native of Yingchuan County, and when he was a teenager, he worked in the court, and Emperor Huan was the little yellow gate. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Rang was promoted to a regular servant and was named a liehou.

Zhang Rang's mansion is the best to find, and the place where the most vehicles are parked in the north of the city is Zhang Rang's home.

Every day, not only the big and small officials of Luoyang City will visit, but also the people from other cities who come to Luoyang to do business

According to Gongsun Xu's instructions, Qi Ming directly bribed the housekeeper guarding the door with a generous gift, and told the housekeeper that he was ordered by Gongsun Zan to bring a few carts of generous gifts to Lord Zhang Rang, and asked the housekeeper to take care of him first.

Hearing that it was a few carts of generous gifts, and that it was a subordinate of the famous Gongsun Zhan, the housekeeper immediately reported it to Zhang Rang.

Two hours later, Qi Ming entered Zhang Rang's house from the side door of Zhang Rang's house with a few carts of generous gifts.

Zhang Rang, who was white and beardless and tall, was about forty years old, lying on the couch, eating the grapes handed to him by the maidservant girl next to him, and said: "Our family is Zhang Rang, if there is something going on over there in Gongsun Zhan, just tell me."

Zhang Rang didn't like Gongsun Zhan's subordinates to ask for a meeting, after all, Gongsun Chan was a military general and had nothing to do with him.

But what! The generous gifts of the housekeeper made Zhang Rang unable to refuse this kind of reception.

"Hello Master Hou, this is a list of gifts from the young master of my family, please take a look."

Qi Ming took a deep bow and then strode forward, raised the gift list above his head, and motioned for Zhang Rang to hand over the gift list to the housekeeper beside him.

After Zhang Rang took the gift list handed over by the housekeeper, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, suddenly sat up, and said with a smile: "Say it!" If there is anything to General Gongsun, our family will do it. ”

Zhang Rang is a person who has seen the world, and he is even softer when he receives gifts, but when he saw the list of gifts that Gongsun Xu brought him, he was also moved.

Two complete white tiger skins, a car of pearl agate and rare coral, and several cars of various Han Dynasty lacquer utensils, including ding, pot, francium, bottle, bowl, di, cup, plate and other high-end eating utensils.

There are also ginseng and Korean ginseng from Liaodong, which are the kind of high-grade ginseng that are rare in Luoyang.

These things are all great gifts given to Zhang Rang by Gongsun Xu after some consideration, for the people of this era, these things are the most precious things, and in the eyes of Gongsun Xu, these things are worthless objects, and after he stabilizes in Xiangping City, he will produce some high-end things, and these items will be gradually eliminated.

The most important thing is that Gongsun Xu is not interested in these things, thinking that there is no value at all, only money is the most important thing.

Gongsun Xu was also very speechless about the treasures of Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, these rags were regarded as treasures by them, but what about it! Through this place, Gongsun Xu also knew in his heart what items people in this era regarded as treasures.

Being able to exchange these things for the position of Xiangping City Taishou, and being able to bridge with Zhang Rang, Gongsun Xu felt that he had earned it.

Qi Ming simply told the intention and conveyed the words of Gongsun Xu to Zhang Rang.

Gongsun Xu told Zhang Rang that he had raised the height of Zhang Changshi to the height of Cai Lun, and his admiration for Lord Zhang Rang was like a surging river.

Xiangping City has been defeated, the good news will be delivered to the palace soon, I hope he can help him win the position of Xiangping Taishou, and give him some generals some official positions and quotas, this time to Zhang Rang Lord a little gift, in the future he will continue to pay tribute to Zhang Rang.

Gongsun Zhan's side has made a great contribution to recovering the rebellion and lost land, and I hope that Zhang Rang can help with a few good words and let Gongsun Zhan take charge of the right Beiping side.

When Qi Ming said it, according to what Gongsun continued, there was no trace of the future gifts, but it was able to make Zhang Rang really feel it.

Zhang Rang hasn't paid much attention to Youzhou, Gongsun Xu gave him a lot of information, his mind came quickly, and he immediately figured out Gongsun Xu's thoughts.

Gongsun Xu killed Zhang Chun and quelled the war on the Youzhou side, and the credit was against the sky.

According to the normal situation, there is absolutely no problem with Gongsun Xu being rewarded this time, but Gongsun Xu's age is a criticism.

As long as the people on the army side don't mess around in this matter, it's just a matter of effort, and no effort is wasted at all.

Pushing Gongsun Xu to the position of being too shou for birds not to poop can be regarded as a good fate, Gongsun Xu, this child is so filial, so well-behaved and sensible, it will also be a help for him in the future.

Zhang Rang didn't promise directly, he waved his hand lightly and said: "You go back and report to your master, our family knows, and we will talk about it when the time comes."

After Qi Ming said goodbye to Zhang Rang, he began to visit Lu Zhi, the general He Jin, and the most important ministers of the Han Dynasty at this time according to the list given by Gongsun Xu.

According to Gongsun Xu's thoughts, he must take down the position of the lord of Xiangping City and give generous gifts to these important ministers, which will also be of considerable help to his future development and growth.

If he doesn't know how to be a human being in a humane society, he won't be able to stand in this era at all.

After more than ten cars of good babies were sent out in a few days, Qi Ming began to set up a stronghold on this side of Luoyang.
