"If you don't return home without wealth, you will walk in the night in bright clothes!"

People in this era have a very high opinion of this view, and big names like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang cannot avoid this.

It is said that after Liu Bang became emperor, he held a banquet in his hometown Pei County, inviting the elders of Pei County to drink together for a month. Later, he moved all men, women, and young men, young and old in Pei County to Xinfeng to enjoy their happiness...

Although Zhang Ran does not have the ability of Liu Bang now, there is no big problem in holding a three-day banquet in Zhangli and asking everyone to eat and drink together.

Therefore, after obtaining the consent of his mother, Zhang Ran asked Xue Tong to take people to Xinfeng to purchase wine and meat, and at the same time asked Sankui and his son to help, and informed Zhangli's elders to go to the banquet tomorrow.

Originally, Zhang Ran wanted to go with him, but his mother refused, so she forced him to keep him at home and asked him to tell him about the incident of being summoned by the emperor in Chang'an yesterday.

Zhang Ran naturally would not refuse his mother's small request, so he moved a bamboo stool and sat down, telling his mother little by little about what happened in Chang'an City and in Weiyang Palace yesterday.

...

Half an hour later, the news of Zhang Ran becoming an official spread throughout Zhangli like a whirlwind, and caused a huge sensation throughout. Most people's first reaction when they heard the news was that they could not believe it, but Sankui and his son said with certain words and said that Zhang Ran was rewarded by the emperor because he had made contributions to the new agriculture, and the villagers of Zhangli suddenly realized and began to believe it.

Compared with the doubts of most villagers in Zhangli, Zhang Shan and more than ten teenagers who followed Zhang Ran for more than half a year had a very different reaction after receiving the news. They did not doubt it at the first time, but rushed to Zhang Ran's house and directly asked Zhang Ran to verify in person.

After the group came to Zhang Ran's house, Zhang Ying, who was in charge, asked Zhang Ran hurriedly, "Brother Ran, Sankui said you have been rewarded by the emperor and become an official! Is this true?"

"Of course it's true!"

Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Zhang Sui'er, the sister next to Zhang Ran, jumped out first, patted the set of official robes and ribbons beside Zhang Ran, and said proudly: "Look, this is the official robes given to my brother by the emperor. How about it, it's beautiful?"

"And the official robe?"

When Zhang Ying and others heard this, they turned their eyes to the neatly stacked black official uniforms beside Zhang Ran, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Then, more than a dozen young men all surrounded him, looked at the official uniform in front of him with surprise, and said one after another:

"Is this the official robe? So beautiful!"

"It is said that only officials can wear this kind of black clothes. Look at the color and workmanship, it is definitely an official robe!"

"Look, there is a copper seal here..."

"Wow, it seems that Brother Ran is really an official!"

......

Looking at the envious and shocked expressions of everyone, Sui'er couldn't help but snorted, raised her white chin, raised her little face and said proudly to everyone: "My brother is now a high-ranking official, even older than the head of our Xiting!"

Everyone exclaimed, "Ah? It's even older than the head of the pavilion, this is amazing!"

After hearing Sui'er's words, Zhang Ying, who had a more reckless personality, couldn't help but run to Zhang Ran and asked Zhang Ran: "Brother Ran, what official position did the emperor give you? Is your official position really bigger than the head of our Xiting?"

Zhang Ran smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Because of the contribution of treasure, the emperor appointed me to ban the left prime minister of the throne, with a rank of 300 stones, which is equivalent to an official at the level of a county magistrate or a county magistrate! It is indeed a few levels older than the pavilion leader!"

"Hiss~"

After hearing this, everyone around them were stunned. They thought that Zhang Ran could be so great that he could be the size of the pavilion chief, but they didn't expect that he was several levels older than the pavilion chief. This was incredible!

After a while, Zhang Ying suppressed the horror in his heart and asked carefully: "Brother Ran, what is this Zuo Cheng of the Forbidden Purple? It sounds so amazing!"

"Haha..." Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head, and explained: "Simply put, this Zuo Cheng of the Forbidden Shop is a specialist in planting vegetables and farming for the emperor!"

“Source…farm?”

Zhang Ying grew up and couldn't help but say in surprise: "No, Brother Ran, you said just now, are you a county magistrate? Why are you a farmer again?"

Zhang Ran couldn't help but give Zhang Ying a blank look and said angrily: "Didn't Sankui tell you? This time, after I offered the emperor a grain-making machine and a cart, the emperor knew that I was good at farming. After using my method, I could harvest more grain, so I rewarded me! Therefore, the official I was the one who made me a good official has no connection with farming!"

After a pause, Zhang Ran said again: "As the saying goes, how big the bowl is, how much food is to eat! Although I have read a lot of books recently, I still don't know how to manage the place, and I don't have any other powerful talents, so I can only grow a field! Isn't it reasonable for the emperor to ask me to farm for him?"

"Hey? He's talking about it..."

When Zhang Ran said this, Zhang Ying suddenly felt that what Zhang Ran said was very reasonable. Zhang Ran was appreciated by the emperor because he was good at farming. The emperor was happy about Zhang Ran's ability to farm, so he had nothing to do with farming for himself.

However, when Zhang Ying and others felt a little disappointed when they thought that Zhang Randang was just a farmer!

This is completely different from what they thought before! Shouldn’t an official be as majestic and domineering as the officials in the city? Why did he still farm after working for a long time?

Seeing that everyone's passion had subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay! Don't be discouraged. Although I am just a farming official, I am also a farmer for the emperor! And after all, I am an official, right?"

"Uh..." After hearing this, everyone felt a little strange, but they nodded and praised: "Ran Ge'er is right! The farming officials are also officials, and there are many farmers in Xiting! They are also in charge of farming!"

"That's right! Although Brother Ran is a farmer, he is even older than the head of the pavilion. It can be seen that he is also a high-ranking official. It is already very amazing to be a prestigious!"

......

The reason why Zhang Ran explained his official position so "easy to understand" is that he did not want to be too high-profile, nor did he want to distance or alienate these teenagers from him because he became an official. After all, in this era, there is a clear hierarchical gap between ordinary people and officials.
