Juda didn't wait long in the Grange before returning to the city, and the more he did, the more he found to have to do.

When it was dark when the city gate was closed, someone entered the city to report that there were now 152 people in the Grange, and that this was the trend of the change in the number of applicants from yesterday to today, and that there would not be too many people coming tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

After Zhu Da went home, he first told Qin Chuan about building tools and weapons, Qin Juren asked a few words, and then wrote a note to Zhu Da, tomorrow take this note to the county government to exchange for the printed documents, so that the Zhang family blacksmith shop no longer has any doubts and worries, in addition to looking for Qin Juren to get a note, Zhu Da started the whole house people, Li He took the handlebar type to purchase in the whole city, at this time the shops and warehouses have been closed and closed, and it is rare to knock on one by one, real money and silver trading, no one will have complaints.

The next day, Zhu Da got up very early, and more than a dozen family members also got up early, dressed neatly, and the spears and spears were all belted, and now they were not simply tied to the body, but specially made straps, which looked like a woman carrying the baby's swaddling burden, but there were six slender pockets on the back of the strap, which happened to be able to insert the short spear and spear thrower into it, and it was also very convenient to pull it out of the back with the hand, and this strap did not prevent the burden from being hung up.

"It's not just a combinable sports bag." After Zhu Da saw this, he said a term that no one understood, but everyone shouted along the name to make a marching bag, which was made by the Dong family's handlebar-style mother-in-law, she was ingenious and took several other women to make this, but fortunately, it didn't take much time to make a dozen bags.

Zhu Da did not treat the Dong family badly, in addition to the cost of materials and labor, he was rewarded with five taels of silver, which made the Dong family who only wanted to please Zhu Da happy.

The sky is getting shorter and shorter, when they get up, the sky is still dark, the eastern sky is still a little white, thin as if it is an illusion, the Qin family's subordinates are in the kitchen to handle breakfast, in the past three days, the house in the city has accommodated six middle-aged men and women as servants, serving the living of Qin Chuan's father and daughter, even for the servants who need to get up early, it is too early now, yawning for two days can even be heard in the courtyard.

The family was quiet, they had only experienced the battle and death for a few days, but the experience of those few days had changed them a lot from beginning to end, and although life had gradually eased up, this armed early rise had made each of them tense.

The smell of food wafted out of the kitchen, and I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the whole county was extremely quiet at this time.

Before Zhu Da came, there were not many people who raised dogs in Huairen County, but after the Fang family and the Yang family were destroyed and set on fire that night, the rich and noble people raised dogs, and they were concentrated in the circle of the county government.

"Brother Zhu, I'm here with someone." Chang Kai's shouts sounded outside.

The door was opened over there, and the first person was Chang Kai, followed by more than 20 young people, these young people were dressed in short robes and short jackets, some people also wore leather hats, and held wooden sticks and iron rulers in their hands.

If the people who are often in the county are in the courtyard at this time, they will feel that the scene in front of them is very awkward, these young and strong people do errands on weekdays with their hands, arrest criminals, suppress chaos, go to the countryside to collect taxes, and even encircle and suppress bandits, they have to be dispatched, it is the number of armed forces in the county, and there is the backing of the government and the king's law, this group of people has always been arrogant in the county, and there is no one in their eyes, but today they are all cowering, and they are quite restrained.

"Listen to my orders today, there won't be too much hard work, and you won't let everyone be busy in vain afterwards, so let's have breakfast first." Zhu Da stood up and said a few words, and these young and strong people hurriedly agreed.

Chang Kai came to Zhu Da's side with a smile, there was a table for them in the side room, Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Chang Kai were on the table to eat, but Zhu Da came to the yard with a bowl of bread to eat, Zhou Qingyun followed, Chang Kai shook his head and did so, although there was no wind in the yard, it was very cold at this time, and it was uncomfortable.

"Brother Zhu, the good guys from the third class have brought you here, don't look at the people who are timid now, they dare to fight a tough battle, and the outlaw thief is in their hands." After taking a sip of hot soup to warm his body, Chang Kai said with a smile, but coughed twice after saying this, because he noticed that these twenty or so young people actually gathered in a bunch, like children in a strange place.

Zhu Da's family members looked thinner than the poor people, except for the short spears on their backs, the spears were not in their hands, and they were scattered all over the courtyard, and there were also help the cooks to bring out the food, even so, the young poor people seemed to feel a lot of pressure, and couldn't help but gather together.

"It's still a lot worse than Brother Zhu's family." Chang Kai couldn't save face for this matter.

"It's that no one has trained, they have no organization and discipline, one of these twenty or so people is one, and my dozen or so are like one, of course the confrontation is different." Juda gave the conclusion.

After breakfast, someone followed to clean up, fortunately, there is no difference between the family and the young poor people, there are a few poor people who are enthusiastic to help, and everyone is familiar with each other, the atmosphere in the yard is a lot warmer, and it is related to cleaning up breakfast, when the sky is bright in the east, someone came to report that the carts have been waiting at the city gate, and after getting the news, Zhu Dacai shouted at everyone to set off.

As soon as they went out, there was a difference, Zhu Da and the family walked in front, nearly 20 family members were silent, and the number of poor people in the back was not more, but the noise of talking and laughing made everyone outside the street hear, turning two intersections, they all felt awkward, and then gradually quieted down.

It didn't take long to get to the west gate, three carts full of supplies were already waiting there, and the strong squad officer guarding the city even asked if he wanted to open the city gate in advance, Zhu Da refused with a smile, the city gate switch in the northern border town is a dead line, if this rule is not strictly enforced, it is easy to be mixed in by outsiders, if it is just for convenience, it is fine, if it is a Tartar or a thief or the like, it is a catastrophe for the whole city.

Waiting for the door to open during this leisure, Zhu Da asked about the father and son of the Zhang family's blacksmith shop, if you want to say who is well-informed in the city, the public of the yamen is the best choice, Chang Kai must know.

“...... Everyone knows about the Zhang family, and the old man of his family used to go out of the sixth room...... That anvil is an elm head, Zhang Da Hammer is so old, and he still cares about it, and Zhang Da Hammer is Zhang Da Hammer outside the blacksmith shop, but Zhang Da Hammer has to be in charge of the slightly larger business......

“...... This is just to understand who this blacksmith shop does not pass on to his son, and when he is old, he does not have to send his son to the end of his life, and he treats his son as a cow and horse all day long, but he can't give a penny of benefits......"

After listening to these idle conversations, Zhu Da figured out the general ins and outs, it was nothing more than "patriarchal" exploitation, calling his son as a serf servant, although this kind of thing has a bit of a cannibalistic taste of father and son, but it is not uncommon in this world, and the younger generations are bound by filial piety and family affection, and it is more convenient to exploit and squeeze.

"If I don't go back to the city today, you can help me get the documents out and go to the Zhang family to make a guarantee, so that his family won't be willing to build weapons." Juda asked for one thing.

Chang Kai was a little puzzled at first, and immediately laughed after asking clearly: "Brother Zhu, you are too reasonable, Lao Zhang wants a high price to earn you more silver, he Zhang's shop doesn't accept any business, and the thieves and thieves outside haven't bought his family, why doesn't he want official documents." ”

Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, and laughed after a little pondering, he didn't expect the other party to play with this, and it was easy to explain that Zhang Da Hammer sent him out yesterday.

"That sledgehammer must be willing to come out and open a store on his own."

"I guess I dream of it, but I don't have the capital, his father will definitely not come out, and he will be said to be unfilial by others, besides, our county can afford a blacksmith shop, and then where will the business come from, you say that this Lao Zhang is such a son, a girl is still young, so tossing his own children to do it."

Coming out in the early morning to be quiet, Chang Kai talked endlessly, and Zhu Da didn't answer when he heard this, but just smiled.

The city gate opened, and the strong squad messenger who guarded the city ran out first, driving away the people and merchants who were in a hurry to enter the city, and then let Zhu Da and their team go first.

Chang Kai noticed the approving expression on Zhu Da's face, and immediately said: "These children are all sincere, and those who have learned well can't dance with knives and sticks, and they will shrink when they hit them, so how can they care about anything." “

"There is still some innocence." Zhu Da muttered in a low voice, but Chang Kai beside him didn't hear it clearly, and Zhu Da asked again: "I saw Fu Yu and Meng Tian in Zhuangzi yesterday, they don't look like ordinary people, do you know their details?" “

"I heard about this yesterday, these two can't be good people, one has too many thoughts, the other is dead-eyed, both can't wipe their faces, and they like to meddle in things, I really don't know how to raise it, I have eaten public meals at home for so long, and I actually teach such a good thing, Brother Zhu, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about them generally." Chang Kai chattered and belittled at first, but anyone could hear the meaning of favoritism.

Zhu Da smiled and didn't make a sound, and walked forward for a while before asking, "Did the two of them just follow you?" “

"Those clever and capable ones have long been sent to you to stay, and my side is a newly erected one, and they are all sent by others who don't want them, but the favor can't be shirked."
