Huo Hai looked at the sun that had not yet settled in the sky, nodded and said, "Yes, but I want you to rush back to the county town in advance and help me do something."

"Mr. Huo just keep your orders." Xu Chang said with his fists.

This is the advantage of giving money enough. Xu Chang is eager for Huo Hai to ask him for things because it is profitable!

"I have another treasure and want to sell it in Zhending County in three days, so..."

"Also? Do you want me to spread some news in the city? This is not difficult." Xu Chang said with a smile.

Huo Hai shook his head and said, "It's not just Zhending County. I want everyone from several counties to know. Do you have any solutions?"

"Yes, but if it's only three days, I can only guarantee that the wealthy gentry families within 300 miles nearby can come." Xu Chang nodded.

"Is it three hundred miles? There are several counties! How did you pass the message so quickly?" Huo Hai asked in some questions.

"I have some believers with good riding skills under my subordinates. Moreover, I have a few good horses in my hands because of Mr. Tohuo's blessing." Xu Chang said with a smile.

The role of horses in this era is equivalent to a car. People like Xu Chang who want to do big things with Zhang Jiao naturally regard it as a necessary strategic resource. Therefore, after receiving the 300,000 yuan given to him by Huo Hai, he immediately used it to buy horses. This thing is his reliance on the battlefield in the future.

"I want to ask, how many miles can a person with good riding skills be able to walk in a day when riding a horse?" Huo Hai said curiously.

"If there is a horse to change, it is no problem to ride 800 miles a day in our Hebei, because there are many plains in Hebei, and most counties have wide and flat roads, and it is not an exaggeration to run faster than the fastest expedited messenger of the imperial court.

If you are riding alone, you can travel for an hour in the morning and evening, about 300 miles. Of course, if you are riding more people, the distance will be shortened. If there is no horse to change, about 200 miles a day." Xu Chang replied to Huo Hai.

Huo Hai nodded when he heard this. This data was roughly equivalent to the data he knew in his heart.

The more people you ride, the slower you will be. Even if a general like Xiahou Yuan leads thousands of cavalry, he can only run about 500 miles at most in three days, because when there are too many people, all kinds of things will be mixed, which will slow down.

Huo Hai, who drove to Zhending County once, roughly knew that the road conditions were indeed good. It was wide and flat, with no gravel on the road, the soil was neither soft nor hard, nor hurt the horse's hooves. No wonder in this era, there were more cavalrymen in Hebei. People here learned to ride horses, so it was naturally easier to get started, and there were more horses.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Huo Hai saw a village with a few horses tied up. Huo Hai said, "I want your subordinates to set off immediately and make the bigger the momentum, the better."

"Then, I wonder what news Mr. Huo asked me to spread?" Xu Chang asked again.

Huo Hai thought for a moment and said, "Last night, a meteor from outside the sky fell into the Weituo River. A fisherman saw a faint silver light flashing at the bottom of the river where the meteor fell, so he went down to the river to salvage. Unexpectedly, he actually fished out a treasure mirror. The front of the treasure mirror can reveal people or objects. On the back of the treasure mirror, there is a portrait of a goddess. This goddess is so beautiful that it transcends the mortal world. I think it is the Nine Heavens Xuannv in the sky.

This mirror also has a frame, neither gold nor jade nor stone nor iron nor wood, and a movable tripod that is extremely strange.

The fishermen did not dare to take this divine object for themselves, so they presented it to Chu Yan of your Taiping Cult. In order to let his subordinates spend the upcoming winter, Chu Yan decided to exchange this treasure mirror for money, grain and livestock."

"This...why is it Chu Yan again?"

Xu Chang knew that Huo Hai was making up the story, and that the story was very reliable and most people might believe it.

However, he was more intelligent than Wang Dang and Chu Yu. After listening to Huo Hai's story, he began to doubt Huo Hai's intentions.

If all good things were made by Chu Yan, then what would the local aristocratic families think?

Will he organize his men and take him down?

"Haha, you don't understand this. Chu Yan has been trapped in the Black Mountain for a long time and has long been worried about not having a robbery. If we take this news, wouldn't there be many people who come to him to rob?" Huo Hai smiled.

Xu Chang felt that his statement seemed reliable, so he didn't ask too much. After handing over the prepared grain and water to Huo Hai and Wang Dang, he personally took a few subordinates and left.

This place is only about seventy miles away from Zhending County. I believe that as soon as he rushed, he could enter the city and start spreading news.

And such news doesn't require him to deliberately send people to the surrounding county towns to spread it. Some of the rich gentry members in the city will definitely send a fast horse to contact their superiors or the backers behind them.

For example, Zhen Ping of Zhen would definitely let his subordinates set out overnight and spread the news to the adjacent Wuji County before dawn the next day.

Yuan Chang of Yuan family would definitely let his subordinates set out overnight and pass the message to Yuan family county less than a hundred miles away before dawn the next day.

There are also nearby powerful tyrants such as Zhang, Su, Guo, Shen, Zhao, etc. within three days, someone will definitely come to Zhending County.

Huo Hai was not worried about building momentum for the mirror. Now, he was more concerned about whether the beer bottle he sold had caused any trouble. After selling the mirror, how could he join these wealthy merchants and do future business.

What he didn't know was that the beer bottle bought by the Zhen family was sent to Luoyang three days ago and was placed in front of the case of Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong.

"Father, do you think this bottle was sent by Wuji Zhen? What did they ask for?" Liu Hong took out the beer bottle from the desk and looked at it carefully for a long time, and asked Zhang Rang who was waiting aside.

"Report to Your Majesty, this bottle of Zhen spent three million yuan to offer it to Your Majesty. I want to be the doctor Zhen Yi and ask for the position of a county magistrate." Zhang Rang bowed his hand and replied.

When Liu Hong heard about three million yuan, he immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Rang and said, "I see that this bottle is of good material, but I have never seen anything surprising about it. It is worth three million yuan?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know anything about this. This object is called the "Seven Treasures Glazed Bottle". It is a holy object dedicated to the temples of the foreign country. If you place it in the palace, you can suppress the palace and drive away evil spirits..."

Zhang Rang, following the advertising slogans compiled by Huo Hai, said with added fuel to the fire and the seven mysterious functions of this bottle were possessed. This made Liu Hong raise his eyebrows and said in disbelief, "Is that so? This bottle is so powerful? I think it is good to use it to hold wine."

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world. No matter whether it is worth millions or something extraordinary, your Majesty says it is good to use it to serve wine, so it must be good to serve wine. I will put a bottle of good wine for you to taste." Zhang Rang said with a flattering smile.

"Then do you think the position of county magistrate asked by Zhen or not?" Liu Hong raised his hand to stop Zhang Rangdao, who turned around and was about to fill his wine.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang immediately crawled on the ground and said in horror, "Only only Your Majesty can decide the appointment of the officials in the court. Whether to give or not is all within your thoughts, how can a servant make the decision for Your Majesty?"

Liu Hong was very satisfied with Zhang Rang's reaction and smiled and said, "Then let Zhen do it! However, I don't know about this, you understand."

"No." After receiving the order, Zhang Rang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly retreated from the hall and went to fill his wine.

In the past, Liu Hong often played such tricks with him. Liu Hong got the benefits of selling official positions himself, but Zhang Rang took the blame.

It’s also a blessing for Zhang Rang to have a good job of secretly taking over those who buy officials. According to the benefits, we look at the area where we are in charge.

Like Zhen, the local tyrant who gave him another million yuan in private, of course, worked in a wealthy place near Sili. Shangcai seemed to be a good place. When Zhen Yi stayed in the position of county magistrate for two years, he should be coming to buy the official position of the prefect. By then, it would be a tens of million yuan.
