001
The West Garden of Luoyang was a notorious place in the world because the famous sale of official positions began here.
"Sir, I want to buy an official position.”
A young man came to the young eunuch at the entrance of the West Garden and bowed.
When the young eunuch heard the young man's words, he was immediately delighted. The young man in front of him was dressed well and looked refined. The young eunuch was secretly pleased to be called Lord by such a person.
"What position do you want to buy? Let me introduce you to them."
As expected, the young eunuch's attitude had become much more enthusiastic. Lu Qing smiled slightly when he heard this, and then quietly took out something from his bosom.
"Milord, you can go and inform Attendant Zhang that I have an important treasure to offer.”
The eunuch's pupils constricted and his breathing quickened when he saw what was revealed in Lu Qing's arms.
"Come with me!"
He quickly brought Rachel into the West Garden. Ten minutes later, Lu Qing successfully met Zhang Rang, one of the most important eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
"So you want to offer up a treasure?"
Zhang Rang didn't even look up. It was obvious that he didn't take Lu Qing seriously. However, this was normal. After all, in the current era, Zhang Rang could be said to be the most powerful person in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.
It was only after the death of Emperor Han Ling that he fell from the clouds.
"Reporting to Attendant Zhang, I came from overseas and found a glass treasure on an overseas immortal mountain.”
"Now that I've returned to the Central Plains, I want to exchange this treasure for a future.”
As he spoke, Lu Qing took out the small box in his arms and gently opened it.
When he saw what was inside, Zhang Rang suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Inside the box, there were a few colorful glass beads. There were even specks of starlight inside, as if the entire galaxy had been placed inside.
In fact, only Lu Qing knew that this was an ordinary glass bead. It was just that it looked slightly better than the marbles he played when he was young.
"This treasure is called the Stellar Glazed Bead. I can guarantee that you will never find something like it in the entire world.”
"These three glass beads are for you, sir. Please give them to His Majesty.”
Lu Qing's words stunned Zhang Rang.
There were five pills in the box. Why did Lu Qing say three?
Zhang Rang immediately understood and looked at Lu Qing with a smile.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. You're quite smart.”
"Don't worry about this matter. I, Zhang Rang, am a man of my word. Leave an address later and your official position will be handed down very soon.”
After bidding farewell to Zhang Rang, Lu Qing returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying. Next, he would quietly wait for news. He believed that Zhang Rang would not disappoint him.
Lu Qing sighed in his heart as he looked down at the streets of Luoyang from the window of the inn.
He was a modern person. When he returned to his hometown to repair his old house, he accidentally fell into a dry well in the backyard. He did not expect to come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It was now the sixth year of Guanghe, and next year would be the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Therefore, Lu Qing had spent a lot of effort to come to Luoyang in order to obtain an official position and obtain the foundation to settle down in this world.
In just a day's time, good news came.
Liu Hong was very happy to receive the glass orb. After all, according to the wisdom of the ancients, this glass orb was simply a creation of heaven.
Furthermore, Zhang Rang had also contributed a lot to Lu Qing's benefit. In the end, he gave Lu Qing two choices.
"Young Master Lu, I've put in a lot of good words for you, and His Majesty wants to give you two choices.”
"First, you can go to Youzhou to serve as the provincial governor. However, I don't mind if you choose this. Although you will become the governor of Youzhou, there are many powerful people in Youzhou, and at the same time, there are foreign races eyeing you.”
"The second option is to freely choose a county in the Great Han Dynasty and become the county governor of that county. You can even choose the rich Nanyang County or Runan County.”
Lu Qing's face lit up. He had thought that he would at most be replaced by a county magistrate or a county governor of a small place. He did not expect such a huge reward.
However, they also realized that the Han Dynasty was finished. After all, a provincial governor who controlled millions of people could be easily sold. It could be seen that the Han Dynasty's fate was over.
"Milord, I choose the Youzhou Provincial Governor.”
Lu Qing made his choice without a doubt because he was not stupid. Rich counties had their own aristocratic families. If a guy without a foundation like him went, wouldn't he be killed?
Although Lu Qing was not afraid at all with the support of the modern world, finding a place far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains was actually better for Lu Qing's development.
Hearing Lu Qing's choice, Zhang Rang nodded slightly. No matter what choice he made, it had nothing to do with him.
In fact, what he didn't tell Lu Qing was that even if he became the Youzhou Provincial Governor, Lu Qing wouldn't be able to hold the position for more than a few years.
After all, although the Han Dynasty was muddle-headed, they were not really stupid.
It was fine for the county magistrate, but even if the county governor and above were sold, they would be replaced in a few years at most.
Therefore, if Lu Qing was smart, he could earn more in the next few years. When the time came, he could change to a better place.
