"Brother, your Wei family is a wealthy family. I believe there are many people in the court, right?" The subtext of Chen Chu's words is: Your Wei family is so rich, you must have bought a lot of official positions for the children of the clan. In fact, Chen Chu's question was very abrupt. These things belong to other people's private affairs, so how could he inquire rashly! However, Chen Chu couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked.

Wei Du didn't think it was offended, but just looked at Chen Chu with a strange look, and then said, "Brother, although our Wei family is rich, it can be done by taking out tens of thousands of gold at one time, but it is not as rich as you think. Besides, our Wei family cares about making money and is not interested in fame and fortune. Although if there are children in the officialdom, it can be achieved through the means of making money, and the price is much lower. Therefore, no one in our Wei family is an official."

Chen Chu finally understood that the Wei family's financial resources were not as rich as they thought they could be. But then he had another question, that is, why did the Wei family store huge amounts of money in a small county like Leping? I thought that Wei Du actually took out 6,000 gold to buy his two RMB that day. According to what Wei Du said, at least 50% of the Wei family's working capital was stored in the Leping small town! This is a bit unreasonable.

Chen Chu also engaged in commercial activities in his previous life, so he immediately guessed that there was only one possibility for the Wei family to do this, that is, the Wei family planned to make a big deal in Leping. But what exactly is this deal?

Chen Chu, who is not very familiar with Leping County, cannot continue to speculate. However, he did not continue to ask about this issue. Although he didn't care, he always knew it was interesting.

Leping County was located north of Bingzhou, close to the northern part of the Taihang Mountains, and was a very remote area at that time.

The group walked south along the official road. Chen Chu was surprised to find that the more people they appeared, the more refugees they appeared. These refugees were either in groups of thirty or fifty people, or in groups of 100 people. Most of them were dressed without any concealment and decent and decent, and each of them dragged their bodies numbly.

Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh: No wonder the Yellow Turbans were out of control at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Just looking at the scene of refugees, you can know how difficult the people's livelihood was at this time.

After walking on the official road for half a month, the majestic Luoyang City finally appeared in front of you.

Looking at the tall and majestic city gate tower, Chen Chu widened his eyes and was extremely excited. Damn it! I finally saw the capital of the Han Dynasty! Compared with this, the previous film and television dramas were like a toilet!

Wei Du and his group were also very excited. They did not have the same feelings as Chen Chu, but because they finally arrived in Luoyang safely. Along the way, everyone except Chen Chu was nervous. You should know that robbers are everywhere now, and their dozens of big cars are very eye-catching. If they are targeted by powerful robbers, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, the road is calm and the waves are quiet and without any danger.

After entering Luoyang, Weidu arranged everyone in a large inn in Weijia Industry, called Yingbin Inn. Chen Chu was with Weidu and was not familiar with the place, so he also stayed in this inn. However, Chen Chu paid all the fees himself, so he insisted on persisting.

After settling down, Wei Du was about to go out to do business, so he said to Chen Chu: "Brother, I want to go out to do business. Should you rest first, or go to Hongdu Gate immediately?"

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong, I plan to get things done first."

"Okay, let's go out together."

The two walked out of the inn and shuttled through the bustling streets. Although the Han family was on the verge of collapse at this time, the capital seemed very prosperous. After thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising that those who could live in Luoyang were worth a lot of money. These people would certainly make Luoyang appear in a prosperous scene.

After walking about a stick of incense, the two of them arrived at the legendary street where the nobles lived. Here, the crowds were obviously much sparse, and the streets were lined with high gates and deep courtyards. It was obvious that the owner had an extraordinary identity.

Suddenly, a carriage with a veil drove past and stopped at the door of the mansion not far ahead.

Chen Chu glanced inadvertently, and this glance made Chen Chu stunned.

I saw a beautiful woman in Luoshang walking off the carriage under the support of her maid. Seeing that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, her hair was combing her fairy clouds, her eyebrows were as dark as a distant dawn. Her beautiful face still had a hint of youthfulness, but her figure was already so exquisite and charming. The most attractive thing was the bookish temperament that naturally exuded, which seemed to have a hypnotic power.

Chen Chu looked at it blankly until the beautiful girl disappeared from her sight and had not come back to her senses.

At this moment, Chen Chu suddenly felt someone patting him behind his back.

Chen Chu was startled and turned around quickly, but saw Wei Du looking at him with a smile.

Chen Chu was caught and showed up, so he grinned at Wei Du. He didn't feel embarrassed. It was natural for him to come to men to see women.

With the book beauty in his heart, Chen Chu asked immediately: "Brother, which girl was from that girl just now? There are such beautiful women in the world!" Chen Chu's tone was very emotional. In his opinion, compared with this book beauty, the jade girls who were later in life were like aunts who swept the toilet.

"Why, I'm moved? Haha, but you may not have a chance. The daughter of Cai Yong and Grand Secretary Cai was admired by countless young heroes, and Grand Secretary Cai has extremely high requirements for his son-in-law. Those who are not literary and elegant will definitely not be able to catch his eye."

When Chen Chu heard the words Cai Yong, he was so shocked that he didn't stop in after Wei Du's words.

Cai Yong!?This is Cai Yong's daughter! Could it be that she is Cai Wenji?? How is this possible?! Cai Wenji should still be a little girl now, how could she become a beautiful girl!... Could it be that she was caused by her time travel? Could it be that her butterfly accidentally flapped her wings and changed the history! Cai Wenji was urged to grow up because of her own reasons

The two broke up on the street in front of Hongdu Gate, and Wei Du left to do his own business.

When Chen Chu came outside Hongdu Gate, he saw many well-dressed people clustering under a red wall. There were handsome nobles and old men in their seventies and eighties. However, they all had one common characteristic, that is, they were rich.

Chen Chu was a little curious, so he walked up to watch. He saw a long notice on a red wall in Hongdu Gate, which was the price of an official position in the court.

Chen Chu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Although he had heard of Emperor Ling's list of officials in his previous life, he was still very shocked when he was in it. Looking at the five thousand years of history of China, the only one who can sell official positions is probably the only one who can sell them so openly.

Chen Chu shook his head with a wry smile, and then raised his head like others to search on the notice. What Chen Chu was looking for was the county magistrate's official position, searching from beginning to backward. The official position was arranged according to the official rank on the notice, and finally the position of the county magistrate was started in the middle of the notice.

Chen Chu couldn't help but lit up his eyes and quickly looked at the price behind. It was indeed eight hundred gold as Wei Du said.

Chen Chu continued to search, and in his thoughts, it would be best to find an official position in Bingzhou.

"The county magistrate of Leping County, Bingzhou, is priced at 800 gold." Chen Chu was immediately excited when he saw this message. He originally thought it would be good to find a county magistrate in Bingzhou, but he did not expect that the information about Leping County would appear on the notice. Chen Chu's current location is Leping County. If he can obtain the position of Leping County Magistrate, it will provide great help for the development of his power.

But then Chen Chu felt puzzled again. Isn’t there already a county magistrate in Leping County? Why is this position still being sold here?

Chen Chu looked around and saw a young eunuch standing at the door.

Chen Chu hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards the eunuch.

"This father-in-law wants to donate a local county magistrate. It happens to be the place on the list, but I have a question below to ask my father-in-law. I wonder if I can report it?" Chen Chu asked in a humble and arrogant manner.

It has to be said here that although Emperor Ling is absurd to be an emperor, he is very good at management. At least the eunuchs who are responsible for receiving outside Hongdu Gate have a very good attitude towards customers.

The young eunuch looked at Chen Chu with a kind look on his face, nodded and said, "May I ask, this young master."

"That's right. Before I came, our county magistrate was still there, but why did there be such a position here?"

The young eunuch frowned, "What's wrong with this? Young Master, don't worry, I'll check it for you now. By the way, Young Master, which county are you talking about?" The young eunuch's expression was very serious, and he looked like a boss who cherished reputation more than life in later generations.

"It's Leping County, Bingzhou." Chen Chu replied.

The young eunuch repeated in a low voice, and then said, "Please wait, young master." Then the young eunuch quickly walked into Hongdu Gate.

Soon, the young eunuch came back.

"Young Master, the Sa family has checked you, there is no problem. The current county magistrate is over 70 years old, and the court has issued a return order. Because no one has taken over for the time being, he temporarily takes over the position of county magistrate. If the young master donates this county magistrate, he can hand over it as soon as he goes back." The young eunuch said with a smile.

Chen Chu suddenly realized and couldn't help but feel happy. "That's great, I just don't know what I should do?" Chen Chu asked impatiently.

The young eunuch smiled and asked without answering, "Honest Master has decided?"

Chen Chu nodded affirmatively, "Of course."

"Okay. Little Li, take this young master in to go through the procedures." The young eunuch said to a young eunuch beside Jingli.

"Young Master, please follow me." The young eunuch made a gesture of inviting Chen Chu.

So Chen Chu followed the young eunuch into Hongdu Gate.

After entering Hongdu Gate, he walked along a quiet path to a hall. The young eunuch led Chen Chu to the door and stopped, "Young master, please go in, the young one will leave." Then the young eunuch left.

Most people are a little nervous at this time, but Chen Chu has no emotional fluctuations because it gives him the feeling that it is just a deal.

Chen Chu pushed open the hall door and walked in. He saw a desk in the hall, and three elderly eunuchs sat behind the desk.

...

It took only one stick of incense to come out of Hongdu Gate. He lost 800 gold in exchange for an official document with an imperial seal. At this time, this precious document was in his arms.

When Chen Chu walked out of Hongdu Gate, a large group of people outside Hongdu Gate went to him at the same time. Everyone was speculating about what official position the young man donated?

From time to time, someone walked up to Chen Chu to establish a relationship with him, and Chen Chu went over there perfunctorily.
