Immediately, Ling Feng continued to discuss the details of the official position with Lin Ziyan, such as when he would take office and where would he be located? The purchase price of county lieutenants in different regions may vary greatly.
And the county lieutenant position he wanted to buy this time was not from the local area, but from Nanyang Road.
Although the Han Empire was divided into thirteen ancient states, it was worried that the local state pastoralists would gain too much power, so they abolished the state pastoralists. Each ancient state was divided into multiple jurisdictions, and the chiefs of each province served as observers to supervise the states. However, the observers are not permanent, and are often rotated to prevent them from getting too big.
Nanyang Road is one of the nine roads in Jingzhou. It was also the most populous and extremely prosperous one in the Han Empire.
The reason why Ling Feng chose this place was because Taiping Dao was extremely powerful in Nanyang and would inevitably rebel. However, the Taiping Dao forces in Yizhou are actually quite small, so they probably won't rebel. If he wanted to become famous by suppressing the Yellow Turbans, he naturally had to choose Nanyang Road.
Nanyang Road was extremely prosperous, and the prices for county captains here were high. Therefore, Ling Feng did not ask for a specific state or county. He only wanted to take office as soon as possible.
Although Lin Ziyan didn't know Ling Feng's plan, she nodded in agreement.
Then, Lin Ziyan asked Ling Feng to talk to Ye Xianglan and connect with her.
An hour later, Ling Feng left Wanhua Tower.
On this trip, his two goals were basically achieved. The first was to purchase an official position. The second is to show off one's own heritage and potential and win over Lin Ziyan, the owner of Wanhua House.
Of course, at this stage, it is too early for him to conquer Lin Ziyan, and he has to wait for the right time. But he also prepared an ambush that could further increase his weight in Lin Ziyan's heart.
Immediately, Ling Feng left Lingzhou, but quietly changed his appearance, used Five Elements Escape, escaped into Lingzhou, found the six-door chief arrester Zheng Changling, and explained some things.
At this time, Zheng Changling had completely turned dark, and he respectfully agreed to Ling Feng's orders.
Immediately, Ling Feng's figure flashed and disappeared.
Not long after, Ling Feng returned to Changle County and began to improve the cultivation level of everyone in the Ling Mansion. Lan Die's cultivation level was promoted to the peak of Grandmaster, and the twelve swordsmen were all promoted to the peak innate level, and one of them was already at the top of the innate level. He was given a true seed of Yuanli, and soon he could condense the true energy and become a master.
Later, Ling Batian returned and brought back more than a dozen young people. This was the help he was looking for for Ling Feng during this period.
These people's cultivation levels may be high or low, but they are all innate masters, and their talents are quite good. When they saw Ling Feng, they all clasped their fists respectfully and said, "See you, Master!"
Ling Feng smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. As long as you serve me sincerely, I will never treat you badly."
The potential of these people may not be as good as those famous historical generals, but there is still no problem in serving as some basic military leaders. Moreover, as long as these people are truly loyal and useful, it is not difficult to improve their cultivation. However, what Ling Feng valued more was the sects, families and other forces they represented behind them.
However, these things cannot be rushed. Once Ling Feng shows his strength and potential, these forces will naturally come to seek refuge.
In the next few days, Ling Feng planned to spend some time observing these people and not let spies get through. As long as one sincerely surrenders, there must be luck flowing in under his Taixu Heavenly Eyes. If the luck is abnormal, it must be a spy.
Two days later, in the morning, Lin Ziyan, the owner of Wanhua Building, had planned a county lieutenant position on Nanyang Road for Ling Feng, but she still needed to go through six inspections. In addition to having a clean history, this level also requires money to clear the way. Therefore, she planned to go there herself.
Half an hour later, Lin Ziyan entered the six-door back office and met the chief arrester Zheng Changling.
Lin Ziyan took out a stack of banknotes and was about to hand them over.
At this time, Zheng Changling said hurriedly: "Master, wait a minute. Zheng knows the purpose of your visit. The six doors have passed the review of Ling Feng."
Lin Ziyan looked surprised and asked: "Why is this?"
Zheng Changling smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't say it, the poster will know about it someday."
Immediately, Lin Ziyan slowly walked out of the six doors, but her brows were furrowed, wondering who was responsible for this. Immediately, she suddenly realized that besides Ling Feng, who else would help in this matter?
Since the other party has the ability to pass the difficult step of six doors, I'm afraid there is no need to spend such a high price to ask him to help. The other party obviously has only one purpose in doing this, which is to show their strength and potential and make themselves agree to the marriage.
Immediately, she recalled Zheng Changling's smile at that time, and suddenly understood that Zheng Changling was not connected by connections, but was probably Ling Feng's subordinate, or a chess piece set up by Ling Feng's master, Lord Qinglong. With the strength of Lord Qinglong, it was easy to save people. Why did he kill Meng Haiping, the chief arrester of the six sects, to pave the way for Zheng Changling? In fact, the other surviving General Zhou may not be a pawn of Lord Azure Dragon.
At this time, she felt a little shuddering in her heart. The supreme master in the realm of gods and humans lived for thousands of years. If the other party had planned it hundreds of years ago, he didn't know how much power he had secretly. If I don't get married, I'm afraid I might follow in the footsteps of Meng Haiping!
Immediately, she thought for a moment and suddenly made up her mind to agree to the marriage between Ling Feng and Ye Xianglan.
In the afternoon, Ling Feng was drinking with the newly admitted guests.
Immediately, Lan Die came to report: "Master, Miss Ye wants to see you!"
Ling Feng looked happy, Lin Ziyan asked Ye Xianglan to inform him, it must be because his strategy had worked, so she stood up and clasped her fists and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry!"
A moment later, Ling Feng saw Ye Xianglan in the garden.
Ye Xianglan smiled sweetly and said, "What good news do you think I brought?"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "I guess it must be that I have been promoted to the position of county lieutenant, and that I have agreed to our marriage!"
Ye Xianglan's cheeks suddenly turned red and she whispered: "Yeah!"
After hearing this, Ling Feng suddenly became excited, hugged Ye Xianglan and kissed her.
In fact, half of his excitement was due to Lin Ziyan's surrender. If there is one, there will be two. If the situation changes in the future, Lingzhou families, sects and other forces will also wait for opportunities and join forces. Therefore, he must treat Wanhualou favorably and set an example for everyone to see.
Although there is an element of interest, it does not mean that Ling Feng wants to be a scumbag. He also really likes Ye Xianglan.
Immediately, Ye Xianglan blushed and broke away from Ling Feng's arms, saying, "The letter of appointment and seal will arrive tomorrow."
The emperor Lingdi of this dynasty seems to be afraid of poverty. He has always been very efficient when it comes to selling his officials, and he only cares about money.
Half an hour later, Ling Feng sent Ye Xianglan away. He immediately summoned the retainers and told them about his upcoming appointment as a county lieutenant on Nanyang Road. In the end, only six people were willing to follow Ling Feng to Nanyang. After all, Nanyang Road is too far from Lingzhou and will not help the family business. Of course, they did not give up supporting Ling Feng all of a sudden. If Ling Feng had not been transferred back to Yizhou in the past few years, they would naturally be willing to join him.
As for the six people who are willing to follow Ling Feng, they are basically the bastards of the family and have no inheritance rights, so naturally it doesn't matter.
