Chapter 153：

The three of them waited boredly outside the door for a long time, and when the door opened again, the corners of Yang Fan's mouth rose slightly.

It seems that Lingshi's attraction is still quite strong...

"Hou Ye summoned, come with me!"

After the three of them entered the mansion with their servants, they walked through a side corridor.

There are rattan chairs and rattan tables in front of the corridor, three feet away from the rattan tables, and the flowers and plants are thick.

There are several soldiers stationed at intervals, and the point is that these soldiers still have strength.

All silver level...

Looking sideways, there is a large garden on the other side.

In the courtyard, there are exquisite pavilions, quiet and beautiful water corridors, and rockeries.

The courtyard is full of vitality against the background of flowers and plants.

Extravagant, too extravagant!

Soon the servants took Yang Fan and the three to a house guarded by several guards.

"Master Hou is inside, the one who decides to go in, and the rest wait outside the door..."

Yang Fan looked at Yasuo and Estes and said.

"You guys are waiting for me here..."

After speaking, he stepped inside.

Entering the hall, I saw an old-looking, thin middle-aged man sitting on the main seat.

This person has a fair face and no beard, but his eyes are very bright, and he is wearing a meticulous official uniform.

He was looking at himself brightly.

It must be Zhang Rang...

What Yang Fan didn't expect was that this **** actually had high-level gold strength.

This is outrageous...

Yang Fan bowed his hands to the other party and said loudly.

"I've seen Lord Zhang Hou!"

Zhang Rang was taken aback when he saw that the other party was so young in the main seat.

But when he saw Yang Fan greet him, he just didn't report his background, and he didn't even bend his waist.

This overbearing attitude displeased him very much.

So Zhang Rang frowned and didn't speak, but looked at Yang Fan with slightly gloomy eyes.

Yang Fan saw that Zhang Rang didn't answer, but his face was cloudy, so he probably guessed the reason.

But he has absolutely no habit of saluting to others.

After thinking for a while, he continued.

"Don't blame Zhang Houye. My name is Yang Fan. My ancestors have been avoiding disasters overseas since the end of Qin Dynasty. They have only recently returned to Dahan. I don't know much about the etiquette here. If there is any offense, I would like to take fifty spirit stones as a gift." Apologize."

? ? ?

This rich and powerful appearance made Zhang Rang stunned for a while.

In this world, one Lingshi is equal to one thousand taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to 13.92 grams.

It is about 14 grams, and it should be able to buy it for ten dragon coins in Blue Star.

In this world, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is enough for a family of three to live for a week or two.

At Blue Star, ten dragon coins are only enough to eat a bowl of noodles, and you can't add eggs...

When Xiao Er mentioned the purchasing power of one tael of silver before, Yang Fan almost lost his tongue.

He was dumbfounded to think that this is a business route to get rich, and Yang Fan might plan to work part-time as a businessman in the future.

Before coming here, Yang Fan also thought about whether to go back to Blue Star and buy a large amount of silver to bring over to buy an official.

But thinking that Zhang Rang will definitely not lack these things, Lingshi will be much more attractive to him...

Although one spirit stone is equal to one thousand taels of silver, it is usually priceless.

People who have spirit stones are basically used for cultivation, and few people exchange them for silver.

Even many rich and powerful people bid 1,340 taels for Lingshi, but they often didn't receive much.

So hearing Yang Fan's words, I deeply felt the sincerity of the other party.

Zhang Rang put away his unhappiness in an instant, and the smile on his face squeezed his facial features into a ball.

Holding the orchid fingers, he said in a sharp voice.

"Since Mr. Yang returned from overseas, it is understandable that he doesn't understand my etiquette. Of course, this Marquis will not be offended. This Marquis already knows your reason for coming. I wonder what kind of official position Mr. Yang thinks he is suitable for?"

Zhang Rang could see that this kid was a good owner of Lingshi, so he went straight to the point.

Chapter 247

Yang Fan said four words without hesitation.

"Prefect of Zhuojun!"

It was a position he had considered.

The world is about to start to be chaotic, and it must be more cost-effective to buy a position with real power.

Because it is definitely unscientific to directly buy a governor of the state, and there is no such position as the emperor of the state.

The real power of the prefect of a county is not much worse than that of the governor of the state.

The prefect is the highest chief executive of a county. When it comes to real power, when the prefect and the governor compete, there are many precedents for the prefect to win, and then lead the state pastor himself.

For example, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, etc...

As for why Yang Fan chose Zhuojun?

First of all, he wanted to use Hebei as his base. Although the first choice should be Jizhou, but after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Jizhou will be the base camp of the three brothers Zhang Jiao.

At that time, Jizhou will definitely be ravaged by the yellow turbans, and officials big and small will have to get in trouble.

So Yang Fan thought of Liu Bei...

The three brothers fought against the Yellow Turban from Zhuojun all the way to Guangzong and Lu Zhi.

Then you can also go this route.

Moreover, there are two fierce generals waiting for him in Zhuojun, and it is not far from Changshan and Hejian.

So this place was chosen.

Zhang Rang was taken aback when he heard this!

Unexpectedly, Yang Fan just came to buy a prefect position...

It's not that he thinks it's high, it's that he thinks it's too low...

If it is to buy a high-level Beijing official, I can handle it for him, and it is natural to charge a lot more for Lingshi.

But only buying such a small prefect, the spirit stone is not very easy to operate!

asked some unwillingly.

"Nephew Yang Xian, Ben Hou sees that you are not very old, so let's call you that! Why did you choose a barren place like Youzhou to find a little prefect? ​​If a young talent like you does not enter the court as an official , don’t you give up your talent?”

"..."

Now all the nephews are called?

Forget it, who told you to ask your dead **** for help now?

Anyway, you won't live for a few years, the dead are the big ones!

Just let you take advantage of verbal advantage...

Of course, Yang Fan knew Zhang Rang's plan, and local officials like this were almost always marked with a price tag.

It's not easy to operate if the lion opens his mouth. Zhang Rang obviously wants to make more money.

After all, there are not many people who ask him for an official with Lingshi...

"It's good to buy a county guard to practice first, and I will continue to do business with Zhang Houye in the future, and you can also arrange a military post for me or something."

Zhang Rang's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

Listen to this tone, this is not a one-off deal!

Then make things more beautiful, after all, only after the after-sales service is done well will there be repeat customers!

Yang Fan is so rich and powerful, it's not like he didn't think about robbing him.

But just thinking about it...

Firstly, the strength of Yang Fan and his party is not simple, and secondly, they didn't bring the spirit stone, so why grab it?

He doesn't know about Qiankun Jie...

So I made up my mind to maintain this big client. As long as I want to get promoted in the future, I can't avoid him.

Zhang Rang nodded.

"It's easy to say, because I don't have a permanent general in the Han Dynasty, and I usually don't set up a Zhonglang general if there is no war. How about nephew Xu Xian riding the captaincy and leading the prefect of Zhuojun?"

"However, although the prefect of Zhuojun is not big, there are already officials in office, so the operation will be a bit troublesome. I don't know how long it will take. My nephew, can you understand?"

? ? ?

I understand your uncle...

I don't know you yet?

This is not a matter of one sentence...

I want to add money and say so!

We don't lack those Xu Lingshi...

"I know Zhang Houye's difficulties, but I also know your energy, how about it! I'll add money... twice the market price, all paid with spirit stones, is there any problem?"

hiss!

Zhang Rang was shocked by Yang Fan's arrogance again, and directly took the initiative to double, which has exceeded his expectations.

Since the other party is so sincere, and I really want to develop this generous repeat customer, I can't embarrass the other party anymore.

So Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and said.

"Since my nephew is so sensible, I will do my best, and you can go to the post with peace of mind in three days at the latest!"

Yang Fan rolled his eyes, after all, money can make ghosts go round!

"Then I would like to thank Master Zhang Hou. Tomorrow, someone will arrange for the Lingshi to be delivered to your residence. There are a total of 850 pieces, right?"

Seeing that Yang Fan took the initiative to add the fifty spirit stones that he promised earlier, Zhang Rang nodded in satisfaction.

I wanted to stay with Yang Fan for a meal before leaving, but he refused...

After returning to the inn with Estes and Yasuo, Yang Fan began to study the itinerary.

Now that the most important thing has been done, it is time to start looking for ways to recruit talents.

Chapter 248 Searching for the First Subordinate

three days later...

After receiving the imperial decree and official seal, Yang Fan is ready to leave for his post.

After research, he decided to go to Chenliujiwu first, then to Qiao County, Qiao County, and then to Youzhou by water from Donglai.

As for Yingchuan Academy, where literati gather together, he is not going to go.

Now that the war has not yet come, those big cows are still studying.
