Tianjin Wei is not far from the capital, but it also freed Zhou Zheng from the shackles.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Lantern Festival, and Zhou Zheng took a group of children to wander around the streets of Tianjin Wei.

A few little guys are not big or small, and Zhou Zheng doesn't know where to run if he doesn't pay attention.

Zhou Zheng naturally brought the guards, and they were secretly staring at him, and Zhou Zheng didn't worry much.

Zhou Zheng was followed by Shangguan Xun, who also celebrated the New Year in Tianjin.

Shangguan Xun looked at the children, with a smile on his face, and said as he walked with Zhou Zheng: "Li Shangshu has agreed to us to issue banknotes, and he will stand up for us." A few years ago, the imperial court discussed the salary, and someone proposed to open the sea ban, and the imperial court agreed. The shopkeeper plans to go to Guangdong, but he is not familiar with the place, and he still needs the help of the owner. ”

In private, Shangguan Xun called Zhou Zheng the owner, and Zhou Zheng called him his father-in-law.

Zhou Zheng looked ahead, paced, and said, "I'll find an internal supervisor, and then replace the guard in Guangdong with our people, so that there will be basically no problem." ”

Shangguan Xun's eyes lit up, and he said: "This method is good, with the internal prison, you are not afraid of the head snake coming around." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "Nanjing will also handle it like this, you can find someone trustworthy." Although the imperial court has opened a sea ban, we still have to keep a low profile, and we must hide what should be hidden. Also, guard against the household. ”

Shangguan Xun listened to the last words, his expression was solemn, and he said, "Well, Tianjin Wei don't worry. Only I know the treasury and silver hiding place in the capital, and the shopkeeper did not ask about it. Nanjing's is also tightly hidden, and the imperial court really wants to tear its face, and it can't grab much. ”

These Zhou Zheng had already taken precautions, nodded lightly, and said: "The expenses will be relatively large in the past two years, and you will have to reserve more money and food, and the pressure is not small, you have to think of more ways." ”

Shangguan Xun glanced around and said in a low voice: "In the first battle in the northwest, we also gained a lot, many things have not had time to be processed, and the silver has not returned, and in half a year, at least two or three million can be returned." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't know about this, he raised his eyebrows when he heard this, smiled, and said, "That's great." Continue to buy grain, the more you hoard, the better, only silver, as long as there is food in the market, buy it back for me. ”

Shangguan Xun didn't know Zhou Zheng's thoughts, so he obeyed the order and said, "Okay, I'll let the grain store under my hands do it." ”

At this moment, Xiao Dewei and his sister Xiao Jingyu suddenly jumped out, both of them holding swords in their hands, and shouted at Zhou Zheng: "Who is coming, report your name!" ”

Shangguan Xun was stunned, and before he could speak, Zhou Zheng raised his right hand, pinched his waist with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "The last general, the Great Ming Ji Liao Governor, Zhou Zheng and Zhou Zhengyun are also, who are you?" ”

Xiao Dewei took a step forward and said loudly: "I am the forward street of the Ming Zhou Army, Zhou Dehui!" ”

Xiao Jingyu took another step, stood beside his younger brother, looked up with his little face, raised his head, and shouted: "I am the female general of the Ming Zhou Army, Zhou Jingyu!" ”

Zhou Zheng saw that the two little guys looked similar, hugged his fists, and said, "Fortunately, I can't beat it, goodbye!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

The two little guys couldn't hold back any longer, they laughed, Xiao Jingyu ran over and hugged Zhou Zheng and shouted with a smile: "Liar, second uncle, when did you run away!" ”

Xiao Deyu followed and said, "Yes, yes, grandpa said, the second uncle beat the Jianyu who was frightened, and I don't have a second person in Daming!" ”

Zhou Zheng took the two little guys and said with a smile: "The second uncle is also bargaining, at most it can be regarded as a tie, in the future, you will avenge the second uncle and arrest the thief chief to the second uncle!" ”

Xiao Dewei put away his sword, and said with a dark face: "Well, I promise the second uncle." ”

Xiao Jingyu hurriedly let go of Zhou Zheng and shouted crisply, "I also promised the second uncle." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, turned his head and saw that his son had also come over, and said, "Shen'er, what about you?" ”

Xiao Deshen is only six years old, more like his mother, white and pure, looking up at his little face and saying: "Dad, grandpa said, to be a man is to be a master, I don't want to be a general, I want to be a handsome." ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, ambitious!" is worthy of my son Zhou Zhengyun! ”

The little guy was suddenly happy, raised his head and chested, and walked beside Zhou Zheng seriously.

Shangguan Xun looked at the scene, with a smile on his face, and he was also relieved in his heart, and he sighed a lot.

When he first saw Zhou Zheng, he was still in prison, and at first glance, he felt that this young man was not suitable for his daughter, and he thought that Zhou Zheng was coercing his daughter.

Later, Zhou Zheng made a fortune, he was inferior because of his background, and then Zhou Zheng and Shangguan Qing became relatives, and Shangguan Xun was worried about his daughter.

The Zhou family is a noble family, and his daughter is too withdrawn, if he competes for favor in the backyard, he is afraid that his daughter will not have a good result.

Now, their sons are six or seven years old, and the young man has become one of the most important ministers in the Ming Dynasty.

"Time flies so fast...... Shangguan Xun looked at the cheerful back of Zhou Zheng with a few children, and said to himself with a smile.

At this moment, Shangguan Lie held a sugar gourd in his mouth, walked over and said vaguely, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Shangguan Xun looked at this son and immediately became angry.

has a brother-in-law like Zhou Zheng, and Shangguan Lie's brother-in-law should be like the people around Zhou Zheng, one by one, each with their own merits.

It's just that this kid is not stingy, he doesn't do anything right all day long, he is almost thirty years old, and he is still a hanger, and the things arranged for him, some can do very well, and some are just a mess, and there is no qualitative character at all.

Shangguan Xun glanced at him angrily and said, "What about your son?" Take it to your sister, Shen'er is going to study and needs someone to accompany her. ”

Shangguan Lie glanced at the front and said, "Didn't Shen'er have his brother and the children of the Liuzhen family to accompany him, why did he want my son to go...... Ouch ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by Shangguan Xun.

Shangguan Xun hated that iron could not become steel, and stared at Shangguan Lie's angry face.

Shangguan Lie looked confused when he was kicked, rubbed his legs and said, "Dad, you ......"

At this time, Zhou Zheng turned his head when he heard the voice and shouted, "Father-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”

Shangguan Xun's anger turned into a warm spring breeze, and said, "It's okay, he stumbled for a while." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at it, smiled, and continued to walk forward with a few children.

Shangguan Lie still looked puzzled.

Shangguan Xun sighed in his heart, when will this son be able to open his mind?

Zhou Zheng was happily spending the Lantern Festival here, and the imperial court, which was supposed to be on vacation, did not stop, the struggle for power in the northwest became more and more fierce, and a heavyweight fell.

Zhou Zuo, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, was implicated by the governor of Huguang and dismissed from office, he was a secretary of the Ministry of Officials before, but his successor Zhuang Qinlin was also crumbling.

Shoufu Zhang Zhifa didn't seem to know that he had been bored by Chongzhen, and he was still trying his best to keep Zhuang Qinlin, the official secretary, and the means were all out, setting off a lot of movement inside and outside the capital.

At the end of January, Zhou Yanru entered Beijing by water, and on the second day of February, he arrived in Tianjin.

Originally, Zhou Zheng, Sun Chuanting and others thought that Zhang Zhifa should be able to last until March, but with the sudden arrival of Zhou Yanru, both of them understood.

This Shousuke, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in February.
