Chapter 15: The Dream of Officialdom Is Shattered

Zhang Rang's status in the Han Dynasty is undoubted, and he was directly called 'Zhang Rang's father' by Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, which means that he is regarded as his father. It can be described as a monstrous power. In particular, Zhang Rang's reputation in buying officials made Zhang Rang even more popular.

This guy doesn't know how to restrain at all, the mansions are all built according to the palace specifications, which is the responsibility of the Nine Clans. Of course, it was not only Zhang Rang who did this, but also other eunuchs and attendants, as well as the Yuan family, who claimed to be the fourth and third princes, and other families.

Anyway, Liu Hong has been fooled by Zhang Rang and others, not to mention if he doesn't go out of the palace, obviously there is a high-rise building in the palace that can overlook Luoyang, but he was fooled that Mingjun did not climb the height, he really believed it.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door can imagine how majestic Zhang Rang's porter is.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to have an identity and put an identity, and no identity to stuff money, in order to make the porter and Zhang Rang pay attention, Zhang Hao directly took out the 'artifact' lighter and asked the porter to hand it over to Zhang Rang.

So that night, Zhang Rang sent someone to invite Zhang Hao to come over the house.

In Zhang Rang's palatial side hall, Zhang Hao met Zhang Rang, who was a legend. It doesn't matter what kind of traitor or the like, and it doesn't matter what the character is. Although Zhang Rang is a little feminine, he is still dignified and outstanding in appearance on the whole, although he is not young, he still looks like a handsome uncle.

In this way, Zhang Hao was a little speechless and even depressed, what are you doing with such a handsome eunuch. Zhang Hao has a little inferiority.

Speaking of which, Zhang Hao's own appearance is ordinary, his facial lines are a little cold, and he can barely be regarded as a handsome little handsome. But modern girls obviously prefer beautiful men. It is estimated that Zhang Rang pulled to modern times when he was younger, and he will definitely be able to make many girls scream. Of course, even now it is estimated that the effect is not bad.

What an unreasonableness! Zhang Hao slandered in his heart, and then became happy again. After all, no matter how handsome you are, you're a eunuch! No birds!

In the face of Zhang Hao, the powerful Zhang Rang inevitably had some shelf.

Zhang Hao, who returned from overseas, did not talk nonsense, and directly displayed the 'treasures' he brought, glass mirrors, crystal crafts and music boxes, etc., so that the well-informed Zhang Rang looked straight, and suddenly there was no shelf, and his attitude became very kind.

Such a valuable gift, coupled with Zhang Hao's words that he wanted to glorify his ancestors and want to share his worries for the 'saint', naturally let Zhang Rang know what Zhang Hao wanted.

But just like what Zhang Hao was worried about before, Zhang Rang was a little embarrassed in this regard, but the treasure that Zhang Hao took out made him not know how to push it back, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhang Hao, he would think of a way, and Zhang Hao would be notified if there was a result.

Zhang Hao waited for three days. In the past three days, he has not been idle, Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the information here is undoubtedly the most timely, in addition, Zhang Hao is very curious about how many celebrities there are in Luoyang City today, and at the same time, he has to carefully supplement his plan and prepare a backup plan.

I don't know why, since he went to Zhang Rang to buy an official, Zhang Hao has always felt that something is wrong, at first he thought that he was suffering from gains and losses, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not. It always felt like he was overlooking something important, or doing something wrong. It made him feel awkward.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Rang sent someone to invite Zhang Hao to his house.

When he saw Zhang Rang, he noticed Zhang Rang's expression, and Zhang Hao felt a little bad. It seems that Zhang Rang's matter has not been completed.

If even Zhang Rang can't handle it, it can only be said that there is no hope for this matter.

The situation is not as bad as Zhang Hao imagined, but it is not so good. According to Zhang Rang, in Zhang Hao's situation, it is impossible to rise to a high position all of a sudden. This is true even if it is similar to Youzhou and Liangzhou, two places that are now at war.

The imperial court would rather leave the official seat empty than allow anyone without any prestige to go. You must know that there are tens of thousands of Tai students and even members of Hongdu Sect in Luoyang waiting to be conferred on the official.

Zhang Rang said that he could help Zhang Hao arrange a county lieutenant or something like that first, and it was extremely difficult to even arrange a county order. Unless it's a remote and poor place.

may not want Zhang Hao to think that he received money and did not do anything, Zhang Rang carefully explained to Zhang Hao the rules of officialdom at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and finally emphasized that this starting point may be lower, but Zhang Rang can guarantee that Zhang Hao will be a high-ranking official with 2,000 stones within two years.

Listening to all kinds of unknown news told by Zhang Rang, Zhang Hao listened very carefully. At the same time, I was thinking about what I should do. Suddenly woke up, the faint disappointment before was swept away, and Zhang Hao suddenly understood why he had been feeling that something was wrong in the past few days.

From the beginning, Zhang Hao thought badly. Breaking into the organization and accumulating strength as an official may be a very suitable method for many traversers. But for Zhang Hao, it is different. He wants to use the excuse that the heavens and men descended to revive the world, and since he wants to package himself as a celestial, it is a little inappropriate to be an official.

Because being an official means identifying with this dynasty, and also losing the pattern and style of mortals. Even if ordinary people may ignore or even care about this, those talent elites are estimated to be muttering in their hearts.

Of course, this concern is indeed necessary, but it is not impossible to solve it, after all, there are still more people in this world who are aware of the times.

And you can also make excuses, such as why you want to support the big man in order to avoid the misery of life, but the big man can't help it, so he has no choice but to start a new stove.

This excuse is also problematic, such as why not show the emperor his special and ability to help, but instead release him as an official?

Well, these questions are no longer necessary to be considered.

It doesn't matter if it's appropriate to be an official or not. The biggest problem now is that Zhang Hao can't directly become a high-ranking official, and he has no land to be an official. He wanted to become an official because he used the name of the Han Dynasty to recruit talents and accumulate power for himself. He didn't want to be a petty official and be driven by others.

Zhang Hao believes that Zhang Rang's two-year period is credible, and this eunuch has a good reputation in this regard. But Zhang Hao couldn't wait, not to mention that there were a lot of variables, and it was impossible for Zhang Rang to control everything. And the timing is not suitable, Emperor Han Ling will hang up next year, and Zhang Rang will be unlucky afterwards. What else is the use of his assurances?

In addition, if you want to be promoted, you have to go around from place to place, which is not conducive to building a foundation.

These thoughts flashed through Zhang Hao's mind quickly, and he made a decision.

first thanked Zhang Rang for his dedication, and then Zhang Hao said that he just wanted to be a big official, and felt that being a small county official was too boring. So it's better to just give up and get ready to do business.

In order to prevent Zhang Rang from thinking too much, Zhang Hao made a special request in addition to asking Zhang Rang to take care of his caravan in the future. Ask Zhang Rang to help clear the relationship, so that he can buy some ships from major shipyards for business.

This is what Zhang Hao had thought of before, but at that time he thought about becoming an official and establishing a shipyard, but now he can only dredge up the relationship by himself in the early stage. After all, if you are not a member of the system, those official shipyards will not build ships for you. As for some private shipyards, it is estimated that they can only produce some small boats at most.

Whether it is for officials or other options, Zhang Hao wants to develop a sailor, and there is no doubt about the convenience of shipping. Whether it is applied to the military or commercial, it has a huge effect.

Zhang Hao naturally agreed to Zhang Hao's request, and even wrote a letter of recommendation to Zhang Hao on the spot, and also printed his private seal.

Leaving from Zhang Rang, Zhang Hao hurriedly returned to the post house and talked about the situation with Huang Zhong.

Now the idea of accumulating power in the government has been shattered, and the previous plan has been nullified. I can only take out the backup plan and improve it. The backup plan is to rebel, of course, it is impossible to rebel directly, and the most basic requirements for rebellion are money, food and personnel, and it also takes time to accumulate strength.

Zhang Hao's backup plan was to accumulate money and food through business, and at the same time recruit displaced people to form his own starting army.

Huang Zhong has no opinion to say in this regard, and still said that as long as Zhang Hao decides, he will support it.

Zhang Hao was a little helpless in this regard, Huang Zhong's force did not say, he had read the art of war in military affairs, and he was also not a mediocre talent. But from an overall perspective, it can't provide Zhang Hao with much help. But forget it, no one is perfect, not to mention that Zhang Hao himself is average.

The two discussed for a while, Zhang Hao directly took out the map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty printed from modern times, and while looking at the map, he thought about how to improve the backup plan. Among other things, the most important thing now is to choose a base area.

After staying up all night, Zhang Hao finally adjusted the plan. Not to mention whether it is perfect enough, at least it is the best degree that Zhang Hao can do.

He still felt a little sorry in his heart, without a proper official identity, Zhang Hao's previous idea of recruiting future celebrities when they were in a low position was in vain. I don't know what intersection I will have with these famous generals in the future?!
