Zijian: "Are there people reading in Zhangjia Village?" ”

Li Shi: "Chief, there is one, it turned out to be Zhang Caitong's son's teacher. ”

"Hmmm! Call him over. ”

Li Shi sent someone to find someone to call Zhang Youde over.

"Chief, as far as I know, Zhang Youde is about Chinese New Year's Eve years old, and he has been admitted for many years, but he has not been admitted, and was later invited by Zhang Caitong to teach at home."

Zijian: "What about this person, and what is the reputation?" ”

"I heard that it's okay, he didn't get involved in the evil things Zhang Youde did, he just wanted to be a teacher. I heard that there is an old lady in his family, who disciplines him very strictly, if it weren't for the poor in the family who can't eat, he won't be Zhang Caitong's teacher. For Zhang Caitong to do evil, I persuaded Zhang Caitong several times, but it was useless, Zhang Caitong wanted to do evil things, he couldn't get a show of talent and couldn't read much, what can he do? ”

Zijian: "Hehe, it's rare!" I didn't expect that a small mountain village could produce a scholar with good moral character. ”

"Yes, chief, I also heard that Zhang Youde usually teaches some tenant children to read and write, and his reputation in Zhangjia Village is very good."

Zijian was a little speechless about Zhangjiacun, there was a wicked person like Zhang Caitong, and there was a good person like Zhang Youde in the dark, and he didn't know what feng shui Zhangjiacun was!

Soon, Zhang Youde invited to the hall.

"Wang, I don't know what you're looking for Zhang!" spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said to Zijian.

Zijian: "I heard that you have a good reputation in Zhangjia Village, so I want to see you." ”

"The king is polite!"

Zijian: "Hehe, the government will soon have officers and soldiers come to exterminate bandits like me, but I don't plan to leave, do you say that the rabble in the government can drive me away!" ”

Zhang Youde was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this bandit king to ask like this, thinking of the officers and soldiers he had seen, the military households, and then seeing the situation of this bandit attacking Zhang's mansion just now, in contrast, unless the government sent tens of thousands of people, otherwise, it would definitely be beaten away.

Zhang Youde: "The king is brave, I don't know what the king means?" ”

Zijian laughed, "Hehe, everyone is a smart person, it's no fun to hide anything, what about me, I want to take Zhangjiacun as the way to start a family." ”

"Isn't the king afraid of the army of the imperial court!"

Zijian: "Hehe, it's a big deal to wait for me to conquer Maoming County, just wait for Zhao'an, don't say that you don't know Li Zicheng and others." ”

"Don't refuse anything, you help me do things first, and then you see that I really can't support the wall, and then you can leave by yourself, how about it!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Youde knows that he can't refuse, now he is just giving him face, if he doesn't give face, he will be punished with wine, and his face will not look good at that time.

"Thank you, the king, what do you command!"

Zijian: "Hmm! Okay, you are a smart person, you will get twenty taels of silver every month in the future, and you will be rewarded for your merits in the future, you go and inform the tenants of Zhangjia Village, saying that I will be here in the future, and I can divide each of them with five acres of fertile land, and pay the rent in the future to call it four achievements. ”

Zhang Youde: "The king is not too low!" ”

"How?"

Zhang Youde: "King, if you drop too much grain at one time, it will be difficult to drop it in the future." ”

Zijian waved his hand, "Let's follow the forty." Hehe, maybe I'll be exempt from land rent in the future! ”

In the future, Zijian plans to expand externally, this is the royal road, staring at the land all day long, and there is a fart future. In Australia, America, and Africa, there are a large number of mountains of gold, silver, and iron waiting to make a fortune, and Zijian said that he didn't care about this rent.

This may be the vision of the latecomers, who put their eyes on the whole earth, and there is a big gap between them and the land of China.

Zijian: "You go get busy first!" Well, you can call me Chief in the future. ”

Waiting for Zhang Youde to retreat, Zijian, "Li Shi, you go find a few carpenters." ”

"Yes, Chief."

Soon Li Xi came in with three people, and was warned by Li Shi, and he bent down and surrendered his hand to Zijian in a panic, for fear that Zijian would blame.

Zijian is very satisfied with Li Shi, it seems that this kid has understood his main point.

Zijian: "A few masters, I want to make a few sets of tables and benches." ”

Zijian gave the carpenter a long table with a height of about 1.2 meters, a width of 0.3 meters, and a length of 3 meters. The stool is 3 meters long, 0.1 cm wide and 0.5 m high.

The carpenter quickly understood what Zijian was going to do.

Zijian: "You estimate, how many silver taels are a set of such tables and chairs!" ”

One of the old carpenters said, "Chief, the set of tables and chairs you said adds up to 600 yuan, and you can make five sets a day." ”

Zijian: "I'll give you 700 pieces of one set, and I want 20 sets the day after tomorrow, can you make it!" ”

The three carpenters discussed with each other and agreed, what Zijian did was very simple, even the apprentice could make it, and the time was a little tight, but it was not difficult for them.

Zijian wants these tables and chairs, just to transform this hall into a classroom, the hall is quite large, 15 meters long and 8 meters wide, more than enough to be a classroom.

Zhang Fu Zijian is preparing to transform it into a primary school and train qualified talents for him.

"Li Shi, let's go, this time we have to recruit two hundred mountains, uh." Zijian wanted to talk about the bandits, but it didn't sound good, so he stopped.

"Let's go, let's go and recruit people!"

Along the way, Zijian thought that now that he is officially recruiting, he can't call himself a thief, in the eyes of the government, Zijian and these people are thieves, but he can't be so depraved! It should be changed to a better name, and in the future, Zijian's approach will still be the same as that of the bandits, what is yours is mine, and mine is still mine, but you can't say that you are a thief on the surface.

When he arrived at the clearing, Zijian thought of a suitable name for the time being.

"Li Shi, go and inform the tenants, and the people we brought here. Tell them that they are recruiting people here, and they will be given five taels of silver every month, and they will be paid in full, and if they are selected, they will be given three taels of silver and two stones of grain immediately. ”

"Yes, Chief!" Li Xi immediately took three people to inform.

Hearing that there were 5 taels of silver to recruit people, many people in Zhangjia Village came to sign up, the important thing is to choose the silver and grain on the spot, these tenants usually can't eat enough, in the face of Zijian's recruitment temptation, not many people can withstand the temptation.

Of course, there are also smart people, these smart people saw that Zijian slaughtered Zhang Caitong, and when the time comes, the government will investigate it, if they follow Zijian together, they may also be arrested as bandits, these people are a minority.

Most people who are oppressed by Zhang Caitong will not be able to live, and now Zijian has killed Zhang Caitong and given them a way to live, and Zijian has killed Zhang Caitong and evil thugs in Zhangjiacun, and there is no harassment of ordinary tenants.

Hearing that Zijian was going to recruit people and such good conditions, they came over to take a look, and as for Zijian's identity, the tenants automatically ignored it.

Zijian stood on the temporary high platform, watching thousands of people coming, and he was very happy, the more people there are, the more good seedlings can be chosen.

Zijian gave five taels of silver a month, and also guaranteed to pay the full amount every month, which was much higher than the military households of the imperial court, and the military households could have 2 taels of silver every month, but they were deducted by the superiors, and the money in hand may not be half a tael of silver, and it cannot be issued every month, and there are many people who have not taken silver in a year or two.

These things, Zijian heard from a military household, this military household escaped from the original guard house, became a homeless person, a few days ago was brought over by Li Shi to fill the number, Zijian wanted to know about the outside affairs, so let Li Shi go to inquire about all kinds of news.

Zijian motioned to Li Hu, Li Hu shouted loudly, signaling everyone to be quiet, Zijian shouted loudly, "Don't say anything else about the people I want, the first is to abide by the rules, just now someone followed me into Zhang's mansion, and the things hidden in it, you were not my people before, and I don't want to pursue your private hiding of silver, but you do this, I don't want it, you have hidden things, and you will leave by yourself." ”

Zijian saw that no one left, and was a little annoyed, did he give a shame, "Again, the guy who secretly hid the silver should get out of here immediately, otherwise he will be caught and whipped five times." ”

Suddenly, a person walked out, "poof" knelt on the ground, "My lord, the small one has hidden ten taels of silver, and all the small ones are returned to the adults, please let the adults do the small ones!" ”

After speaking, he took out the silver he had hidden, put it aside, and looked at Zijian, his eyes were full of pleading.

Zijian didn't expect this to happen, he just wanted those people to get out of the way in advance, and this person returned the silver by himself, Zijian thought about it, "If you hide the silver privately, as long as you take the initiative to admit it, you can still stay." ”

Soon five men came out, knelt on the ground, and took out their hidden silver.

Zijian snorted coldly, "Li Shi, do you remember those people who secretly hid silver!" Drive them away. ”

"Yes, Chief." After speaking, he took a few people with sticks and walked towards some people, those people had hidden the silver before, and they were caught by Li Shi, and then reported to the chief, the chief said not to pursue it, Li Shi let these people go at that time, and now the chief told these people to get out, and he wanted to mix in the crowd, when he Li Shi was blind.

Li Shi picked up the wooden stick and hit those people, who knew that they couldn't hide it, and they were reluctant to return the silver, so they ran away from the crowd with their heads in their hands.
