Before leaving Zhongyang County, Zhang Chu was still not worried about the work of various departments, so he took people around and arranged the next work. When he walked to the Zhongyang Talent Registration Office, he found that there was an altercation there, and a man with a Sichuan accent was arguing loudly with the official in charge of registration. After listening to it for a while, Zhang Chu realized that Zhang Chu's 30,000 taels fortune plan had somehow spread to Sichuan, and this man should be a person with a lively mind, who had just lost his job with his companions in Sichuan. He simply mobilized more than 100 of his co-workers to move his family to Zhongyang, not only to find good jobs for these poor brothers, but also to make money himself, why not do it. A group of people finally arrived in Zhongyang after a difficult journey, but the officials in charge of registration here did not consider them craftsmen and refused to register them. This group of people has come to the end of their rope here, and there is no longer any entanglement in wanting to return to their hometown, and the man led by Da Anxious quarreled with the officials who were doing the work.

After figuring out the situation, Zhang Chu hurriedly went over to persuade him, and when the man saw someone coming forward, he immediately said to Zhang Chu: "Son, you give a comment, why does he say that we are not craftsmen." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Zhang Chu decided that if they were really capable of something, he would find them a job.

"We'll dig wells." The man said.

"Anyone can do the work of digging wells, and they can't dig water when digging wells in Zhongyang." The official in charge of recruiting people was a little uneasy, and peeked at Zhang Chu, but he couldn't help but speak.

"What we are digging is not an ordinary well, but a salt well dozens of feet deep underground. We can all do it by digging wells and boiling salt, why are we not considered craftsmen? ”

"But you can't dig a salt well in this place in Zhongyang County." The official retorted.

Zhang Chu patted the official on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, but there are some things to open your eyes, okay, I will solve this matter." Then he turned to the man and said, "I will ask them to register you, and you will be counted as craftsmen, and you will dig a well with me." ”

"They'll listen to you? Do you have a job for us? The man looked at Zhang Chu and didn't quite believe him.

The official hurriedly came over and said, "He is our commander, and everyone here listens to him." ”

Zhang Chu asked the man, "Do you have all the tools for digging wells?" ”

"We've brought them all, we've brought all our belongings." The man hurriedly said.

"Okay, follow me to Yanchang to dig a well!" Zhang Chu said loudly.

After arranging everything in Zhongyang County, Zhang Chu and his party left Zhongyang and went to Yanchang County. Crossing the wide Yellow River, Zhang Chu returned to Yanchang County a few months later.

In the past few months, due to the displacement of people from various places, the government of Shaanxi has no time to take care of Yanchang County, which is quite stable.

It is now May of the first year of Chongzhen, the earth is completely the color of spring, Zhang Chu has carefully checked the cultivation situation in various places along the way, and in some places due to the construction of silt dams to raise the water level, the fields have been irrigated, and the crops are green and lush. At this time, it was the season of green and yellow, the farmers sowed the seeds, looking forward to the harvest, the waterwheels rang non-stop beside the dam, and in some places saw the "miners' friends" emitting black smoke and constantly lifting water, Zhang Chu had a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, and finally made a change in the Yanchang area by himself, and more people were able to survive in the next disaster year.

Arriving at the county seat of Yanchang County, Zhu Xiucai heard the message and greeted him. Zhang Chu asked him to arrange for those Sichuan craftsmen to go down to rest. The two talked about the situation in Yanchang County, which is now in good condition, with many silt dams completed before spring ploughing, adding a lot of water to irrigate the land, and new silting into a lot of fertile land. The land owned by the security forces was divided into vagrants, except for those who had made meritorious contributions. Most of the land has been sown, and now we are organizing people to fight drought and water, and this year's harvest will be good.

"What about Mazi Prefecture?" Zhang Chu thought of Mazhi County again.

"He's busy, and now he's trying all the cases in the county, and he doesn't care about anything else. It's just that when there is an official document above, he writes a reply or something, and his prestige in the county is now high, and people call him Ma Qingtian. ”

After listening to Zhu Xiucai's answer, Zhang Chu was very happy, it would be good if there was an official who was in charge of trying cases and didn't care about anything else.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Zhang Chu was relieved. When the night came, Zhang Chu rested alone, but he couldn't sleep at night, he came hundreds of miles away, what if he was rejected, how could he become clever, what should he say when he met, Zhang Chu felt that he was a little hot-headed, and he thought about things too simple when he came.

Early the next morning, in the center of Yanchang County, Yue's grocery store, Miss Yue Yue was concentrating on sorting out the goods, and a child ran in, ran to the counter and shouted: "Sister Yue, Sister Yue, there is someone outside who wants to buy something." With that, he ran out.

Yue Yue was very strange, why didn't she come into the store to buy things. walked out of the store and looked around, but saw Zhang Chu hiding at the corner of the street and waving to him sneakily.

Seeing Zhang Chuyueyue's anger, when they first met, a person who came to see him Si Wenwen had some clever ideas for bookkeeping and business, and he also made a lot of money selling coal in partnership with his own family. Unexpectedly, he changed for a while, and went to Guanzhuang Town once and found that he was a thief, and he didn't dare to talk to him about cooperation after he came back. However, in the days to come, someone really came to give the silver, saying that it was a share of the money. When he was in Guanzhuang, he looked reluctant, and the thieves occupied Yanchang County and did not see him, and he disappeared in the next few months. I asked the guys who came to deliver the coal and said they didn't know, and now they suddenly came back and didn't know what bad things to do.

I wanted to turn around and go back to the store to ignore him, but seeing that he was waving there again and again, he looked anxious, and thought that he should ask him what was the matter, so that he would not come to the store again in the future, and the two would not owe each other. So he shouted to his younger brother, who was playing in the store, "Look at the store, my sister will go out for a while." "Walk towards Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu ran when he saw Yue Yue coming over and took her hand, and only stopped when he entered the alley next to him.

Yue Yue shook off Zhang Chu's hand vigorously and said angrily, "Let go, what does it look like." ”

Zhang Chu's face was like a flower in summer, and his eyes were shining and he looked at Yue Yue and said, "Long time no see, how are you?" Pack your things and come with me. ”

"What are you going to do with you?" Yue Yue said unhappily.

"Didn't you promise us that when I have 100,000 taels of silver, you will take care of the money for me." Zhang Chu was unmoved and said cheekily.

"When did I promise you?" Yue Yue remembered that he had said it, but he didn't seem to have promised him.

"I really need you to help me, now there are few people around me who can be trusted, only you and I trust the most, and I am the most relieved to hand over the money to you."

"What do I have to do with you, why should I trust you."

"It's easy to have a relationship, I just have to marry you."

"Don't talk nonsense, whoever wants to marry you, besides, my father won't agree."

"This is easy to do, I'll go to your store and rob you and leave."

"You know that the silver is also robbed." Yue Yue said angrily.

"Sometimes it's not entirely wrong to rob, I robbed the silver so that more people could live. I robbed you, but I can also let you have more space to display your talents, and you can also rescue more poor people from the sea of suffering, follow me to Zhongyang, where you will see a new world. Zhang Chuyang begged.

"Are you really doing all this for the people?"

"You see that I don't eat well, I don't dress well, I don't have time to come to you, I want to be just for myself, I have already taken the money, and I took you somewhere to get away, and I still have to suffer this sin, I just have a little time to miss you, I came to you, you come to help me for a while, if you are not happy, you will come back." Zhang Chu lowered the target.

"You're going to miss me?"

"Of course I think about it, I think about it every day, but I'm too busy to come to you."

"I'm just going to give you the money, and don't think about anything else." Yue Yue didn't want to give Zhang Chu more chances.

"Okay, that'll do fine." Zhang Chu wants to have no corners that can't be dug down, only hoes that don't work hard.

The next morning, there was a commotion outside Yue's grocery store, and a group of people rode horses and drove to the outside of the store.

Yue Yue in the store secretly raised her eyes behind the counter and looked at the door. I saw Zhang Chuyao walking in proudly, and shouted when he entered the door: "Is the boss there?" Is Boss Yue here? ”

Boss Yue heard the movement and came out of the inner room, and was startled when he saw Zhang Chu, this young man is said to be the leader of the Ming security guards, and now he occupies Yanchang County, but he can't afford to offend, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Zhang Chu grimaced, pointed at Yue Yue with the horsewhip in his hand and said, "I will marry your daughter." ”

Boss Yue opened his mouth and let out a voice: "This, this".

"Bring it in." Zhang Chu shouted outside, and several guards walked in carrying a few boxes, the lid of the box was opened, and the ingots of silver and horses of silk inside were revealed. "This is the dowry I sent, and I married him."

Boss Yue's face looked a little better when he looked at the gift.

"Don't let the little girl dress up." Boss Yue wanted to drag out the time for a while, and then weigh it again.

"No need." Zhang Chuke knew what it meant to have a long night and many dreams, and after speaking, he turned his head to Yue Yue and said: Let's go, there is a car waiting outside. ”

Yue Yue walked out of the counter and slowly walked towards the door, reluctantly glanced at Boss Yue a few times, and then looked at the small shop where he had lived for more than ten years. Gritted his teeth, he walked out of the store and got into the carriage outside.

Zhang Chushili said goodbye to Boss Yue, and jumped into Yue Yue's carriage like a monkey.

The driver of the car rang out with a whip and the carriage left the grocery store.

In the carriage, Yue Yue was extremely angry, and said angrily to Zhang Chu: "How can you talk to my father like that. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm in such a hurry, there's no other way, he won't agree to say nice things to your father. I'll apologize to him later when I have time. Zhang Chu hurriedly said good things while giving a salute.

"Why didn't you apologize to me and snatch me away like this." Yue Yue didn't want to let him go.

"I apologize, I'm too anxious, and I will definitely hold a grand ceremony for you when I have the opportunity." After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he shouted to the car: "Hurry up." ”

Then Yue Yue heard him whisper: "It's finally here, don't let people chase it back." ”

The carriage drove quickly towards the county government of Yanchang County.

Zhang Chu still has important things to do in the extension.
