After informing the obligation, the Yuan Dynasty did not stay, and early the next morning, the army was all assembled and prepared to return to Chenzhou.

When he came, a total of 4,000 soldiers and horses came in a mighty way, but after this battle, he took 5,000 soldiers and horses with him when he left.

came and went, and earned a thousand soldiers and horses.

On the way back, the speed of the army's march, not to mention the urging of the officers, the soldiers were exerting their own strength under their feet, all the way to Chenzhou, after all, after leaving their hometown for half a year, everyone missed their hometown.

"Yu'er, are you still satisfied with coming out this time?" Kong Ergou was rare and leisurely, and Liu Yu'er on the side were riding on horses and chatting.

When Liu Yu'er heard Kong Ergou's question, Liu Yu'er also looked at Kong Ergou and said happily, "Satisfied, Captain Ergou, after this battle, the brothers suffered few casualties, and we have achieved such great success, how can I not be happy." ”

"Yu'er, I'm talking about your personal gains and losses." Kong Ergou looked at Liu Yu'er here and asked about his personal gains and losses.

Liu Yu'er heard Kong Ergou ask this, and also looked into the distance with his eyes, "Happy, why aren't you happy, this time the reward has come down, the owner of the village has given me credit, and the reward order has also come down, I have now become a hundred household officials, I really didn't expect that I Liu Yu'er would have today." Liu Yu'er was also born as a poor child, and when she was a child, she always wanted to be able to eat a full meal every day, so that she would be content, but the hard days made it difficult for Liu Yu'er to realize such a humble wish.

Until he joined the owner's army by chance, he began to gradually eat well, and now he has become an official of a hundred households, such an official position, for those big families, for those civil ministers, it is simply synonymous with humility, but for a person from the lowest class, this is the glory of his life.

"Captain Ergou, you used to be an official of a hundred households, do you know, your official position really made me envious for a long time, I really didn't expect that one day I could also become an official of a hundred households that I envied." Liu Yuer's face was sincere, saying that she was happy in her heart.

"Yes, Yu'er, this time the owner of the village was promoted to the commander, he did not forget every brother who contributed to the effort, and everyone asked for the corresponding official position, I followed the owner of the village, and I also realized the ideal in my heart step by step, and this time the owner also asked me for the position of a thousand households. To be honest, I really don't know how to thank the owner, so I can only continue to listen to the owner's orders. Kong Ergou also followed the promotion this time, because he also performed well in this battle, and he was even promoted to a thousand household officials.

Liu Yu'er and Kong Ergou's emotion on the road, almost also the thoughts of many people's hearts, this time the Yuan Dynasty almost all the meritorious ministers were reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court also rewarded a lot of personnel this time, they gained great benefits from the Yuan Dynasty, although many of them did not follow the Yuan Dynasty closely because of interests, and they have formed unreserved trust in the Yuan Dynasty, but it is undeniable that because of the formation of these benefits, it also makes their small group stronger and more united.

In the joy of everyone, Chen Zhou finally arrived.

When he arrived at the boundary of Chenzhou, Yuan Chao had been promoted to the commander of Chenzhou Wei at this time, and naturally he was warmly received by the officials of Chenzhou, of course, even if Yuan Chao did not become a commander this time, his father Yuan An would personally greet him.

And after a brief reunion and communication with his father, Yuan Chao immediately led the troops back to Chenzhuang non-stop.

And Yuan An also fully understands the mood of his child, he knows that his child is now not only his son, but also a pillar of the entire Ming Dynasty, he fully supports his son, and puts fame and cause first.

And Yuan Chao also led the large army and returned to Chenzhuang, where he missed every day.

At the gate of Chenzhuang, Yuan Bao and Wang Ze were also looking forward to the return of their owner.

"The owner is back, the owner is back." When the first sharp-eyed villager saw a black line in the distance and shouted out,

Other villagers also saw the village owner in the distance leading the army back to the village one after another, and they shouted excitedly, welcoming their beloved owner of the village, and welcoming relatives and friends, husbands and sons who returned from the expedition.

Yuan Bao couldn't stand still with excitement, and kept pacing back and forth at the gate of the village.

Slowly, Yuan Chao got closer and closer in the shouts of everyone, until he came to the gate of the village.

"Owner, owner." The villagers shouted spontaneously.

Yuan Chao listened to these cordial voices, and also waved his hand to the villagers again and again, and after the appearance, Yuan Chao turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Yuan Bao.

"Uncle Clan, yes. Looking at our Chenzhuang from afar, it has now expanded its scale and is much more lively. Yuan Chao first greeted his elder uncle Yuan Bao.

Listening to Yuan Chao calling himself the clan uncle, Yuan Bao also hurriedly saluted, not daring to entrust the big "Zhuang, after the army goes out, I just continue to develop according to the established goal, and the whole Zhuangzi doesn't need me to bother much, it is growing stronger day by day." "Yuan Bao said a little modest, but not all modest, Chen Zhuang is now in the entire eastern Henan region, almost synonymous with paradise, not that it has no quarrel with the world, but it is compared to other places that have appeared chaotic, it seems to be very orderly and stable.

These are also natural and have brought a strong attraction to the residents of the neighborhood and other places, who want to stay in Chenzhuang.

And Yuan Bao is not so easy to accept miscellaneous candidates, he still regularly screens a group of excellent people who are best at a skill to live in the village, those who have not been selected into the village for a while, there are also some people who find a place to settle near Chenzhuang, and then rely on working near Chenzhuang to make a living.

For a while, with Chenzhuang as the center, this area became more and more lively.

After talking to Yuan Bao, Yuan Chao looked at his money bag again, Wang Ze.

"Wang Ze, you are also good, I heard that the summer grain purchase has been good recently, how is it. Is there a count of how much the Chenzhuang Chamber of Commerce can make this time? Yuan Chao asked with a smile.

"Owner, this summer grain purchase is indeed very smooth, and now some of them have begun to be transferred to the north for sale, but because the north has gradually slowed back a little bit in the past two years, so the price of grain is also a little lower, this time Shandong should be able to sell at some more prices, overall estimates, the preliminary estimate is that this summer grain can earn about 50,000 taels" Wang Ze said frankly about the current operation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Yuan Chao also nodded after hearing this, and then didn't say much, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go back to the camp to clean up, except for the necessary personnel on duty, all others will have a three-day holiday, and enjoy the time back to the village.
