Zheng County, south of the mound collar, Taihua mountain range, north of Weishui. With Zheng as the county, most of the people in the county take Zheng as their surname. Zheng Zhu is a native of Zheng County, named after bamboo, just because there is a dense bamboo forest on the side of its home.

Zheng Zhu is not an ordinary Qiantou, although the family is in decline, he is still a local hero. It is said that at the end of the former Han Dynasty, their ancestors tasted the county in the county, which was also the most glorious period of their ancestors. It's a pity that in the new rebellion, Sanfu was destroyed in the war, abandoned the official and fled into the mountains and forests, and waited for the world to calm down, and it has been many years.

Naturally, the official had no choice but to lead the clansmen, take root here, and cultivate heirlooms. To Zheng Zhu's generation, it has completely declined, his father participated in the pacification of the Liangzhou Rebellion, and was promoted to the chief with military merits, and then returned from disability and became the head of a pavilion in the township. Later, there were repeated disasters in Guanzhong, Zheng County suffered military disasters, and his father also died of injuries and illness.

Zheng Zhu was influenced by his father since he was a child, that is, to revitalize the family, and his father joined the army in a bloody battle, but in the end he failed. I have always kept in mind Ah Weng's advice, but unfortunately life has been really difficult over the years, survival is still difficult, and it is not a great cause to revitalize the family.

Moreover, Zheng Zhu didn't like to give birth, and wandered in the countryside all day long, gathering a group of young people, doing nothing, and wanting to be a ranger. If it weren't for the fact that his father had left him something, his situation would have been even more difficult.

Last year, the summer army marched westward, fighting on all sides, and seeing that the surrounding area was becoming more and more restless, Zheng Zhu saw the opportunity quickly, and decisively encouraged some people to escape into the mountains. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, starving in the mountains, and suffering for a long time, I finally survived the most difficult period. At the beginning, Li Dao's troops were defeated to Zheng County, and then the Xia army followed, and Zheng County was completely destroyed in the war.

The people who stayed in the mountains to survive were all afraid. The people who did not flee were either killed by Li Wei's subordinates, or they were cannon fodder in the battle between the two armies.

At that time, many people were impressed by Zheng Zhu, who proposed to flee in front of him, and felt that this young prodigal was unusual. And Zheng Zhu couldn't help but be proud, and he couldn't help but flutter in the face of the praise of the villagers.

Naturally, Zheng Zhu became the leader of the villagers of Nagan, and for the first time tasted the majesty of the "person in power". It's a pity that when you become this leader, you have to solve the problem of eating for hundreds of old and weak. Guanzhong lacks food, and he can't eat enough at the bottom of the mountain, let alone enter the mountain forest.

Gather all the food, distribute it in a unified manner, and make careful calculations. Then divide the subordinates into several categories, the old and weak women are young and strong, and each has its own ability. I just leaned on the mountain forest and stayed for several months. The people of Zheng County who fled into the mountains are not only their wave of people, there are so few resources in the mountains, for a pheasant and a fruit tree, and there are fights from time to time. There are also bandits and bandits who bully them.

When there is a fight, Zheng Zhu is "the first soldier", and he is extremely tough. He had a bronze sword that had been handed down from his father, and he used it to wound many of the strongmen who had struck their attention.

In the process of leading the hundreds of villagers to survive in the mountains, Zheng Zhu has grown a lot, and under the hundreds of people, he slowly awakened and found the value of his life. He felt that he was born to do "big things" and be a "leader", but he just didn't get the opportunity before.

For the revitalization of the family business, Zheng Zhu has a lot of confidence.

Survival in the mountains is too hard, it is not as good as living under the mountain, and you are not clothed and hungry. Can't stay in the mountains all the time, Zheng Zhu made up his mind early. But it was too chaotic outside, and I didn't dare to venture out of the mountain.

It wasn't until later that news came from outside that the war in Zheng County had been eliminated, and King Xia, who occupied Chang'an, sent a new county order, bringing a lot of displaced people and food. Send people to recruit the people who have fled in the mountains to go out of the mountains and rebuild their homes.

There were two or three thousand people in Zheng County who had fled into the mountains and forests, and they were all suspicious and did not dare to take action. It was Zheng Zhu who felt something in his heart and felt that this matter could be done. Still didn't dare to venture out of the mountain, quietly descended the mountain, and explored.

Fang knew that the new county order was the son of King Xia of Chang'an, and the county was the county commander Du Ji of that year. Under the prince's decree, the entire Zheng County began to redivide the land and distribute it to the people in the county. They also distributed grain seeds, rented cattle and farm tools, and even received rations.

After listening clearly, Zheng Zhu couldn't sit still, because the land in their township was about to be replanned, and if they didn't go down the mountain in time and were assigned to others, it would be a big loss.

When I went back to the mountain and talked to everyone, some people hesitated, because the current ruler is a Hu people, which is intimidating. Zheng Zhu scolded: "What about the Hu people, as long as they can live in peace." Don't want land anymore? ”

The land is always the most moving, and when it comes to this, everyone goes out of the mountain with Zheng Zhu. When he went down the mountain, he quickly got the arrangement, and the population loss in Zheng County was serious, and each family got a lot of new fertile land.

Liu Cheng attached great importance to the first batch of villagers who took the initiative to go out to the mountains to vote, and Du Yi personally arranged their resettlement. And Zheng Zhu, a well-known Qiantou, was even received by Du Ji.

His mind became lively, Zheng Zhu took the initiative to ask for his life and went to the mountains to persuade the villagers to return from the mountains. With his cleverness, he really let it do it, and within ten days, he moved thousands of people out of the mountain.

And Zheng Zhu also took this credit and became the rank of the newly established Xiaozhu Township, and became a subordinate official of Zheng County, which can be regarded as entering the officialdom. Since then, Zheng Zhu has been somewhat high-spirited. His father worked hard for many years, and after several tests of life and death, he was only a pavilion chief when he died, and in less than a year, he became a big township with rank, managing three or four hundred people in ten pavilions.

Seeing the bright future, Zheng Zhu is full of enthusiasm and actively cooperates with Liu Cheng's decree, but there are policies in the county, and he will personally supervise them. Lead the young people in the township, patrol everywhere, and keep the peace of the township.

Liu Cheng recruited Zhuangding to dredge the ditch and repair the city, and without saying a word, he personally led the township laborers to obey the order.

He was literate, and he personally practiced edification and spread the majesty of the Xia king. In Xiaozhu Township, almost everyone "loves" King Xia. This matter reached Liu Cheng's ears, and he couldn't help but praise a few words for such a talent under his rule.

Today, Xiaozhu Township, managed by Zheng Zhu, has become a well-known township in the county.

At this age, Zheng Zhu is still less than twenty years old, so as not to be underestimated, he began to grow a beard. For the time being, he had no hair on his mouth, and he also found a clever person to make him a fake beard.

His head was wrapped in a black scarf, his waist was equipped with a long sword, and he was dressed in clean green clothes. Followed by more than a dozen township soldiers, Zheng Zhu swaggered to inspect the whole township, which was his daily routine.

"Youzhi!"

"Youzhi!"

When the villagers saw it, they all saluted respectfully and fearfully.

Zheng Zhu enjoys this kind of gaze very much, such a superior and respected person, it feels different.

At this time, Zheng Zhu set a goal for himself. Yixiang can't satisfy his ambition at all, and sooner or later, he will enter Zheng County and become a county official. He wants to build a mansion in the city and revitalize the family.

But now, for him, what matters most is the matter of marriage. He fell in love with the daughter of a pavilion chief in Hongo, and was about to propose. I don't have to think about whether he will agree, thinking that he is such a "young talent and bright future", and it is his blessing to be able to take a fancy to his daughter.
