Zhou Zheng was busy with the decoration, and he didn't take everyone back to the house until the evening.

Before entering the mansion, Zhou Zheng explained to Liu Liuzhen again and said: "This month, everyone will give an extra tael of silver, don't forget." ”

Liu Liuzhen didn't want to do it very much, but he couldn't say it directly in front of all the family members, so he had to respond sullenly.

Zhou Zhengmai turned his head, and just as he was about to enter the mansion, he saw Fu Bo looking at him with a smile.

Zhou Zheng looked at him, hesitated, and said, "Dad, got it?" ”

Fu Bo's expression was very relaxed, and he said, "Well, the master invited the second young master over and had dinner together." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't care, and said, "Okay." After saying that, he walked to the back hall with a familiar way.

Zhou Qingli ate normally, and when she saw Zhou Zheng coming in, she said, "Sit down and eat." ”

For this Father Zhou, Zhou Zheng's evaluation is still good, and he basically belongs to the kind of person who does not meet talents.

However, there are many people who don't meet in Daming at this time, or who can't do anything if they do.

In general, it is not a crime of war.

Zhou Zheng sat down and picked up chopsticks to eat. He doesn't give birth, he can eat whatever he wants, he can do whatever he wants, he is not so restrained.

Zhou Qingli didn't care much about these either, and ate by herself.

The father and son sat in the dining room, only the sound of eating, except for the beginning of the greetings, there was no superfluous words.

Zhou Zheng ate for a while, his heart moved slightly, stopped his chopsticks, observed Father Zhou's expression, and said for a moment: "Something?" ”

Zhou Qingli looked up at Zhou Zheng, met his gaze, sighed, sighed again, and said: "Li Hengbing's ancestors have been in the shadow of Shangshu for three generations, and his family has a lot of money. ”

This is talking about Zhou Zheng smashing Li Hengbing with bricks, obviously Zhou Qingli already knows.

Zhou Zheng's words were to the point, piercing Li Hengbing and many clear streams represented by him.

However, there are not many people who can think seriously and understand it, even Li Hengbing himself, in the end, he didn't think he was wrong, and he educated Zhou Zhengyi seriously.

Zhou Zheng thought about it, but still explained: "I was not used to seeing it at the time, I was obviously evil, but I was still upright, and I was worshiped by others, and the truth of the world was simply reversed." ”

Zhou Qingli seemed to have lost her appetite, put down the dishes and chopsticks, frowned, and said: "Now the atmosphere in the officialdom is extremely bad, and some people are desperate to invite Qingming, do everything, and dare to say anything; Some of them are shameless, unscrupulous, sell official positions, embezzle and take bribes, and bring disaster to the country and the people......"

Zhou Zheng looked at his face and said, "Do you have something?" ”

Zhou Qingli reacted at this time, looked at Zhou Zheng's concerned look, felt a little comforted, nodded lightly, and said, "Several adults in the ministry are about to resign." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, but did not speak.

The official secretary is Zhou Yingqiu, this person is the head of the ten dogs of the eunuch party, because he is older than Wei Zhongxian, he thought about it and asked his son to recognize Wei Zhongxian as a godfather, which shows how shameless this person is.

The Ministry of Officials is a stronghold of the eunuch party, how can Qingliu survive here?

Besides, the current officialdom can be said to be extremely tragic, the representative of Qingliu, the Donglin Party, has been killed and can't raise his head, and many bigwigs have been forced to death and exiled, not to mention other little minions.

Zhou Zheng looked at Father Zhou and seemed to be a little disheartened, and said in a calm tone: "Resigning may not be bad, and next year's comeback may be able to go further." ”

Zhou Zheng's words are quite conservative, Chongzhen's liquidation of the eunuch party is called a ruthless, and the vacant official position next year is called more than one!

Zhou Qingli didn't notice the 'rise next year' in Zhou Zheng's words, she just comforted him, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

In fact, he also has plans to resign in his heart.

In engineering, he is relatively simple, and he is a small official, so there is not so much deception, but the clerk of the Ministry of Officials is different, and there are too many people staring at him. Zhou Qingli does not accept gifts and is not partial, and the number of people offended is naturally increasing day by day.

One word: difficult!

Zhou Zheng didn't persuade him more, Zhou Qingli's position is not high, no one will want to kill him, as long as he doesn't die, he will soar next year!

It's the darkness before dawn, and the most important thing is to persevere!

The father and son had their own thoughts, and after eating, they said a few words, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng went to his shop again with a large group of family members, and there were a lot of things to do today.

Painting walls, hanging ceilings, playing cabinets, buying various materials, and preparing to build bridges, there are too many things.

Zhou Zheng and the others were busy with their feet not touching the ground, all kinds of knocking and beating.

Although this is a remote place, it still attracted the attention of some people, stopped to discuss, and even persuaded Zhou Zheng.

"Hey, this is a remote place, you don't make money by doing anything, you look at the dozen or so stores near us, which one is not a dismal operation, and the shop can't sell it if you want to......"

"Childe, I advise you not to work in vain, we have tried all the methods we can try, and no one cares about it if we lose it to the end......"

"Childe, if you have silver, go to the other side of the street, a few shops over there are good, buy it, do some business, and it will not be difficult to return to the capital......"

Zhou Zheng smiled at these kind persuasions and didn't explain much.

Several nearby shops were very enthusiastic, and seeing that Zhou Zheng was short of manpower, they came over with tools to help.

At noon, Zhou Zheng naturally kept five neighbors to eat, chatting while eating, and quietly touched the nearby business context.

The basic income of these five shopkeepers is rice vinegar soy sauce, furniture, shoes and hats, etc., which have been immersed here for many years, but they know everything clearly, and they have given Zhou Zheng a lot of useful information.

In this way, it will be two or three days, and the walls, cabinets, etc. are basically completed, and the floor can be laid.

Zhou Zheng was in a hurry and divided the family into two waves, and the other part began to build bridges.

The small river behind Zhou Zheng's courtyard is less than two zhang wide, and it is a narrow place, so it is not difficult to build a bridge.

Liu Liuzhen filed a case in Shuntian Mansion, and found a craftsman to build a bridge, and under the command of this craftsman, the family members began to build a bridge.

This movement is big, mainly to attract people on the other side, Beiju Xianfang. On the other side of the river is a lively commercial street, the flow of people is particularly large, and the Nanju Xianfang, which could not be passed, is now suddenly going to have an extra bridge, which will save a lot of detour effort!

At this time, it attracted a lot of people to watch and discuss, and even some people couldn't wait, hoping that Zhou Zheng would set it up as soon as possible.

Zhou Zheng on the other side didn't care, but a few shopkeepers who helped him for a few days were surprised.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, it's not kind, I said why did you spend so much effort on decoration, your feelings are to build bridges......"

"Don't talk about doing business, just this bridge, Shopkeeper Zhou's shop, is worth at least two hundred taels, or even more!"

"Shopkeeper Zhou's vision, this idea, admiration and admiration!"

Zhou Zheng was calm about this, and said with a smile: "Not only me, but a few old brothers' shops are afraid that there will be excitement too, while I haven't built a bridge yet, add up to the total, and change my livelihood?" ”

When the five shopkeepers heard this, they suddenly understood.

"Oh, shopkeeper Zhou didn't say that I forgot, let's go, I'll go back and discuss it with my mother-in-law......"

"Shopkeeper Zhou, admit your feelings, you must go to my place for a drink another day!"

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you are busy, you have something to say hello......"

The five people left in a hurry, they were all on both sides of Zhou Zheng's shop, Zhou Zheng bore the brunt, and walked south from here, and several were at the front, how could the business be bad?

Zhou Zheng responded, concentrating on decorating his shop, staring at the bridge that was gradually being built.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!"

Zhou Zheng's heart was surging, he had prepared so much, and he was about to tremble at the end!
