Chapter Eighty-Four: Buy One Official Buy Two Get One Free

Zhang Bin asked Yan Liangwen to buy a small courtyard in a remote alley in Luoyang City, but he rushed straight to the largest inn in Luoyang, and saw some people in Taoist robes coming and going, and after a little inquiry, they were the Taiping Sect disciples who had not yet been hit.

"Knock Knock"

Zhang Bin walked to a room and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a thin face and a short Taoist opened the door and looked at him and asked:

"Who is Childe looking for?"

Zhang Bin glanced at the room, where Ma Yuanyi, who was tall and had a long face and a short beard, was sitting upright, and he smiled:

"I heard that Master Ma Yuanyi of the Taiping Sect is here to ask to see you, I don't know if Master Ma is here?"

The short Taoist looked Zhang Bin up and down, young and rich, this is different from the vast number of poor and middle peasants who are mainly friends with the Taiping Sect, but this is the capital of Luoyang, and he does not dare to offend anyone, he said very politely:

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the master if he's free."

Zhang Bin has already seen Ma Yuanyi, so if he doesn't contact him at this time, it is estimated that he will have no chance in the future, the short Taoist looked back, Ma Yuanyi nodded, this can be regarded as saving his own life, otherwise according to Zhang Bin's habit of being profitable, once Ma Yuanyi refuses to see him, then he will find his own life.

"Childe, please come in."

The short Taoist turned sideways, Zhang Bin walked into the room, looked at Ma Yuanyi sitting on the chair with an unfathomable look, Zhang Bin stepped forward and hugged his fists and said:

"I have heard the name of Master Ma for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really superior, and I am fortunate to meet it."

Ma Yuanyi looked at Zhang Bin, and suddenly he was stunned, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly rose, he frowned and was stunned, but found that Zhang Bin's eyes were shining, and an extraordinary momentum made him feel his heart shake.

He didn't know that after dying in the first aid station, he had pledged his loyalty, and as soon as he approached Zhang Bin, he would instinctively accept Zhang Bin's control, he waved his hand to let the short Taoist go out, got up and hugged his fists, and said:

"Who is Childe? What's the matter with me? ”

Only Ma Yuanyi was left, Zhang Bin took out the wooden card that Zhang Jiao gave him from his arms and handed it to Ma Yuanyi, Ma Yuanyi looked at the wooden card and hurriedly hugged his fists and said:

"It turned out to be a messenger, I don't know if the envoy has anything important to do with Ma Yuanyi?"

Zhang Bin didn't expect that this broken wooden card actually represented Zhang Jiao's messenger, but it was normal to think about it, Zhang Jiao only had one daughter, although Zhang Bin was a distant relative, and he didn't say that he would take refuge in him, but the force he showed had great benefits to Zhang Jiao, in a sense, Zhang Jiao wanted to get Zhang Bin into the Taiping Sect, although this messenger had no rights, but he could get the help of the Taiping Sect.

"I'm here to tell you the news, Tang Zhou is already planning to betray you and the Taiping Sect, if you have a way, it's best to kill him immediately." Zhang Bin took back the wooden card and said.

Ma Yuanyi exclaimed:

"Tang Zhou has already arrived in this capital, and he only left before saying that he has something important to do, if he rebels, there should be no internal response in the capital."

"I'm here to inform you, it's best to leave immediately, inform the great sage and good master to prepare early, I also have to leave here quickly, it's not good to be found out of my traces." Zhang Bin nodded and said.

After Zhang Bin finished speaking, he left quickly, and Ma Yuanyi immediately sent someone to inform his subordinates in Luoyang to evacuate quickly, and immediately informed him of the news.

In the afternoon of the same day, the army in the capital began to search for the Taiping sect, but in the end nothing was found, but the news of the Taiping uprising had been exposed, and Emperor Ling issued an order to start the nationwide ban on the Taiping sect and prepare to suppress it.

Three days later, Zhang Rang's mansion, at this moment the Yellow Turban Uprising has not yet begun, Zhang Bin sent millions of silver jewelry to the door, of course, the purpose is to prepare to buy officials, at this moment the late Han Dynasty buying official system is according to 10,000 times a year's income, so the result of selling officials, how can a person get so much money back in office, the only result is to scrape the people's wealth and all kinds of squeezing, the final result is that the people are dogs, which makes the Yellow Turban Army have so many people support.

The next day, Zhang Bin handed over the gold ingots and jewelry worth 10 million yuan, Zhang Rang took a holy decree and the appointment document and handed it to Zhang Bin, looking at the young and generous Zhang Bin, Zhang Rang said with a slight smile:

"Zhang Taishou, you are now the Taishou of Zhongshan Kingdom, where is there only Cao Yuan and Lord Bo now, you should take over the local government and military affairs as soon as possible, by the way, Lord Sima said that where is too close to Yanmen County, the Xianbei cavalry will attack Yanmen County at any time, and the Taishou of Yanmen County is also vacant, so if you can contribute another five million money, Yanmen County will also be controlled by you, and you can also give you the position of Yanmen Captain, of course, you need to lead the army to defend Yanmen Pass to prevent the Xianbei cavalry from attacking and harassing the people."

Although Zhang Bin is rich, he doesn't want to pretend to be wronged, he actually has a plan for Yanmen County, but where to develop is not suitable, so he went to the relatively rich Zhongshan Kingdom, he looked at Zhang Rang with a dry smile and said:

"Yanmen County, where can it be deserted, it is said that the population is only hundreds of thousands, the soldiers and horses guarding the pass are less than two thousand, Zhang Changshou, five million is a little more, not to mention that you have to stick to the border pass, according to the existing strength, once the Xianbei army knocks on the pass, am I not going to die somewhere?"

Zhang Rang also knew the importance of Yanmen County, at this time he knew that the Yellow Turban Uprising was imminent and needed to be dealt with, if Xianbei knocked on the pass during this time, two or three thousand people would indeed be difficult to stop, if Xianbei was allowed to enter the pass and loot, then Emperor Ling's head would be a little bigger, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said:

"Zhang Taishou is worried about this, then he will ask the saint, you can recruit a large army in the local area, according to the army system, of course, all the military food and ordnance are estimated to be troublesome Zhang Taishou self-raising, and now the court is also very poor, for the subordinates to consider for His Majesty, and then the court will make up the military food and salary after the stability."

To recruit soldiers to the imperial court, he actually had to prepare his own military rations, military salaries, and ordnance, which is estimated to be what the decadent imperial court at the end of the Han Dynasty could think of, Zhang Rang said that Zhang Bin couldn't cry or laugh, but he was able to establish an army openly, which was of greater benefit to him.

He sighed and nodded, and Zhang Rang hurried to the palace, but in half an hour he came with two holy decrees, the first was the holy decree appointing him as the captain and leader of the Yanmen Taishou, and the second was the holy decree allowing Zhang Bin to recruit soldiers and build weapons on the spot;

In this way, Zhang Bin has an official position and military power, but he also got Zhongshan Kingdom and Yanmen County, and returned to the small courtyard in Luoyang with three holy decrees, Yan Liangwen smirked after reading Zhang Bin's holy decree.

"My lord, so that you can recruit a large army, and our brothers can also mingle with the army, maybe we will be generals that day, which is a good thing." Yan Liang looked at Zhang Bin's three holy decrees and smiled.
