Zhou Tong coughed lightly a few times, and his body was a little rickety.

He is old, although he can still eat and sleep, but he has clearly felt that his body is decaying, otherwise, he would not have even carried the cold of this inverted spring, and he actually got the wind cold in Diqiu.

Zhou Quan followed behind him, and Zhou Quan still had a lot of respect for his cousin.

"That's a good ......"

Looking at the newly built building under the hill, Zhou Tong sighed, and his satisfaction was beyond words.

"Thanks to the teenagers brought by my uncle, I am not here many times, although they are young, they can share my worries."

Zhou Tong smiled dumbly: "This is not my credit, what did they look like when they came, I don't know yet?" In just one year, I was taught by you to be like this, Quan'er, you are ten or a hundred times stronger than your father and me! ”

Zhou Quan was about to say something more, but Zhou Tong waved his hand: "Your father and I, rushing into battle to kill the enemy, facing an enemy of ten people, can easily win it, facing an enemy of a hundred people, you can not be afraid of life and death, facing the enemy of a thousand people, you can only turn around and escape...... It's not as good as you! ”

"Our Zhou family, I don't know how lucky to be a kid like you...... Or unfortunate! ”

The original words of praise were a little harsh later.

Zhou Quan's heart sank, looking at Zhou Tong, for some reason, the word "unfortunate" was said by him.

"You have such a skill, if you take the road of the imperial examination, in the future, our Zhou family will have to produce a ruler, if you take the road of the battlefield, maybe the privy and the lieutenant, you can ask for it. But you don't have the imperial examination, and you don't know martial arts, and you spend all day thinking about how to make money...... Quan'er, no matter how much money you have, it's something outside your body, and even a source of trouble, think about it, when you earn tens of millions of dollars, what do you use to protect it, don't you rely on these teenagers I found for you? ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Tong stared at Zhou Quan, his eyes were like an eagle, extremely sharp.

Earlier, Zhou Quan's move was to seek some benefits for the family of the forbidden army, but Zhou Dong believed it, so he went back and forth, and brought him three batches of more than 300 children from the Western Army.

But now, seeing Zhou Quan's Longchuan farewell, Zhou Tong began to feel that what Zhou Quan said was not the whole truth.

In particular, the first batch of teenagers he brought was less than eighty at that time, and now although these people have different personalities, they have one thing in common, that is, they almost blindly believe in and respect Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan has been training these teenagers with semi-military means, and he has also taken them to battle...... Think about it, if Zhou Quan had hundreds of such warriors around him, what would he do next?

"Uncle, do you know how much money I've made in the past year?" Zhou Quan pondered for a while, and then smiled.

"How much money did you make?"

"If nothing else, it's the bicycle, which earned me nearly 50,000 yuan, and then glassware, because the time is shorter, so I only earned 6,000 yuan, and then cement ......"

Zhou Quan folded his fingers and counted to Zhou Tong, not counting the profits he made from auctioning textile machines, he made a total of 100,000 yuan last year.

When Zhou Tong heard this, his white eyebrows trembled slightly.

The gold and jade in the palace they robbed from the hands of Manichaeism and seized it were only exchanged for 6,000 yuan, and Zhou Quan earned a net profit of 100,000 yuan as soon as he was young and relaxed, which is still the result of cement, glass, etc. not being fully expanded, what if it is fully expanded?

Such a huge income made Zhou Tong even more worried. The more wealth Zhou Quan has, the closer the disaster of the Zhou family will be.

"But does my uncle know how much money I have left in my hand...... Six thousand two hundred, that's the rest of my money. Zhou Quan said again.

Zhou Tong was stunned, he earned more than 100,000 yuan, spent more than ninety percent, and only left 6,200 yuan, Zhou Quan can earn and spend.

"Where the rest of the money is spent, I can also tell my uncle one by one, there are 50,000 yuan, which is spent on new research, and those craftsmen who have been invited are studying every day, and the daily expenses are calculated in hundreds. Another 30,000 were used for the construction of other industries in Longchuan, and the wages of the workers here were one-fifth higher than what they could get elsewhere......"

All the money Zhou Quan earned was spent on these workers!

Now the workers who rely on him, a different industry in Longchuan, to eat, including their families, the number is no less than 3,000!

"By the end of this year, the number of workers and farmers who depend on me will exceed 50,000, and by next year, the number will not be less than 500,000!"

Because cotton is only an experimental planting, only Haizhou, where Su Mai is located, and Xuzhou, where Miao Zhongxian is dead-faced, there are about 5,000 farmers and 200,000 acres of farmland to try to grow cotton, which is 15,000 people based on three people per household. In addition, the number of workers recruited in Haizhou for textiles and glass, and for steel and cement in Liguo, the number is 50,000, which is still conservatively estimated.

"It's just an experiment, so no one will reach out, after all, no one but me can guarantee that they will make so much money, and it will be two years before they reach out. In two years' time, there will be millions of people who depend on me for a living...... Uncle, these millions of people, and millions or even tens of millions of people in the future, are my dependence! ”

"You are worried that my tens of millions of family fortunes will attract covetousness, one is that I don't have tens of millions of dollars, I will only accumulate a small amount of surplus wealth, and most of them will be scattered so that they can give birth to more wealth; The second is that I have these hundreds of thousands of millions of people as my protector, and whoever wants to move me must consider how to manage the livelihood of these many people; Three, it's these array teenagers of mine...... Uncle, I am planning a voyage, and in about three or five years, when these array boys have grown up, I will send people to the sea to establish another business, and if there is anything in the Central Plains, I can also sail overseas to protect my family! ”

In front of Wu Yang, Zhou Quan did not hide his ambitions, because Wu Yang had pursuits and ambitions, and he needed a grand goal to inspire him to follow the struggle.

But in front of Zhou Tong, Zhou Quan had some reservations about what he said, only talking about sailing overseas, but not talking about his coveting of Chinese artifacts.

If you give this uncle, who is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, know his actual plan, maybe he will kill him with one shot immediately.

He didn't say it, but Zhou Tong might not be able to guess it.

At least Zhou Tong can confirm that Zhou Quan's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty is completely inferior to himself.

He let out a long sigh, and after a long while, Zhou Tong said a little gloomily: "I can't say you, I am a martial artist, and I don't have any knowledge, I don't know if you do this, to the people, to the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is good or bad, and I don't know what it will look like when you leave your name in the history books in the future...... Quan'er, I only ask you for one thing! ”

"Where is this uncle, if I still have anything to ask for my nephew, my uncle just commands."

"Don't be too ...... to people" Zhou Tong said this, shook his head, and did not continue.

This nephew is capable and sensible, so he doesn't actually need to worry about it.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Zhou Quan again, and said word by word: "Quan'er, if you do the opposite thing in the future, even if I am dead, someone will eventually come to eliminate the harm for the people!" ”

Zhou Quan's heart sank: "Uncle, where do you start with this." ”

"I've lived a long time and seen a lot of things...... Quan'er, even if you still have good intentions now, but in the future, will you still be able to keep your heart? If you can't keep it, with the wealth and power in your hands, you want to make trouble in the world, who can rule it? ”

Zhou Quan groaned slightly, and before he could respond, Zhou Tong said again: "I'm leaving." ”

"I'll accompany my uncle back ......"

"I mean, I'm leaving Dicho, and now I'm too old to move around, and I have to stop and retire."

Zhou Quan was shocked: "Uncle why did he say this, even if my uncle wants to retire, he can stay in Diqiu, and my father and I can just wait by the side!" ”

"Hehe, I'm not used to living here with you...... And I'm in front of you, there are some things that I can't get used to seeing, and I want to say it, and you don't listen to it. Zhou Tong said slowly and slowly walked down the mountain.

He was careful when he descended the mountain, because the hidden worries in his heart had not yet been answered.

The Zhou family has been loyal to the country for generations, and he doesn't want to see a perverse son of the Zhou family in his lifetime.

Zhou Quan's talent made him happy and happy, but also made him a little worried, because in the process of contact, he found that his cousin's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty and his sense of belonging to the forbidden army were far inferior to those of his generation.

He was not worried about Zhou Quan's rebellion -- he was worried about something else.

Jeruyu Liyan.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Quan took the team back to Beijing and presented a wonderful football match for Beijing Division, defeating Cai Xing's team 7-4. This made Zhou Quan once again a man of the year in Beijing, and also made some of his things turned over. Although Zhou Quan left the Jingshi and returned to Liguojian, Zhou Tong heard a message when he passed through the Jingshi.

This news made him furious at first: his nephew actually made eye contact with the princess of Liaogou, and the princess of Liaogou even wrote a few bold and enthusiastic letters, which were sent by the people of Tuo Cheng.

As a result, a certain person with the same surname Zhou on the other side of the city was mistaken for Zhou Quan, so he received these letters. After this person received the letter, he did not hand it over to Zhou Quan in time, but passed it on to his own friends and peers, thinking it was a joke.

Although this person later asked someone to transfer the letter to Zhou Quan, the content of the letter had been leaked, which made Zhou Quan extremely angry. The fate of this person was naturally from the fact that he was in charge of the affairs of Rongcheng, which was considered to have a promising future, but before he left Rongcheng, he was killed!

Killed!

I don't know how many people speculated that Zhou Quan sent someone to do it, and Zhou Quan never denied it. This incident sounded a wake-up call for Zhou Tong, his nephew is bold and ruthless, if the more power he has, the bigger the incident, the bigger the incident.

"I still go to Pengju, I have been running for this kid for the past two years, but I have less time to get along with Pengju, and I am still in good health, and I will pass on my skills to Pengju, in case I ...... In case Quan'er really has that day, there will always be someone who can persuade him, stop him, and protect him......"
