"Zhang Chu?" Zhang Shaotang looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't believe it, he looked a little thin and young, and he spoke like a gentleman.

However, looking at the way those soldiers respected him, it shouldn't be fake.

"Yes, I'm Zhang Chu, and I'm glad to meet Mr. Zhang here." After receiving the report from the Bureau of Statistics, Zhang Chu ordered someone to carefully check the identities of the three people, and originally ordered someone to monitor them to see what they were trying to do, but he didn't expect the soldiers to arrest them so quickly.

"In Xia Zhang Shaotang, this is polite." Zhang Shaotang saw that the other party suddenly broke his identity, so he had to admit it.

"Come, untie Mr. Zhang. The two were taken back to the barracks and looked at it. Zhang Chu gave the order, and the soldiers came over and loosened the ropes that bound Zhang Shaotang, and the two retinues were escorted away.

Zhang Shaotang moved his wrist, which was strangled by the rope, and looked at Zhang Chu without saying a word, wondering what he would do with him.

"Mr. Zhang is really bold, and he dares to come to me at this time to prolong my walk." Zhang Chu does admire this Zhang Shaotang a little, a scholar does not rely on his three-inch tongue to tell right and wrong, and chant a few words of nonsense poems to show his innocence. It's good to take risks alone in order to make things happen.

"You don't have to be polite, it's in your hands, and you can do whatever you want." Zhang Shaotang decided to show a little backbone, don't lose the face of the reader.

"I don't need you to say this, of course I can deal with it as I want, but you don't seem to be of much use, and I haven't figured out how to deal with you yet." Zhang Chu choked Zhang Shaotang with a few gentle words, and he couldn't continue to perform heroism. Of course, he was arrested because he disposed of it, but what did it mean that this was not very useful, Zhang Shaotang always thought that Zhang Chu would be happy for a long time if he was caught. Zhang Shaotang didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Chu saw that he was silent and continued: "You came to extend it just to find out about the situation of the extension, in fact, this matter should be done by professional people, the reader is not good at this problem, after reading a few books, he thinks that everything is understandable, he understands everything, and most of the things that are messed up are because of the pride of the reader." ”

Being educated like a primary school student by Zhang Chu, Zhang Shaotang was very unhappy in his heart, but there was no way.

"This is not the place to talk, Mr. and I will go to my residence to have a good talk, don't worry, I don't want you to betray the intelligence of the government, you are the relatively senior official staff I have seen, the staff is very useful to officials, I just want to know how the staff work." Zhang Chu said as he motioned for the guard to pull a horse over.

Zhang Shaotang said in his heart: "Why do you care about the affairs of your staff? But he thought about it, Zhang Chu named his team the Ming Security Army, did he still think that the Ming Dynasty was orthodox, and his concern about the staff showed that he wanted to be a high-ranking official, and he would raise his staff in the future. Zhang Shaotang didn't speak again, got on the horse and left the barracks with Zhang Chu and walked towards Yanchang City.

Walking on the road, Zhang Shaotang observed the situation, although Zhang Chu did not have many guards, they all looked shrewd and strong, and they had muskets pinned to their waists, if they wanted to run, maybe they would have a few more eyes on their bodies. He decisively gave up his plan to escape.

Zhang Chu and Zhang Shaotang walked side by side, introducing Zhang Shaotang to Zhang Chu while walking, looking at the two as if they were very affectionate.

When he arrived at the center of Yanchang Street, Zhang Chu looked at the lively crowd and said to Zhang Shaotang with satisfaction: "Now the people of Yanchang have overcome natural disasters and live a peaceful life, everyone can eat, and there are even fewer disputes." ”

As soon as Zhang Chu finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by a noise, Zhang Chu had no choice but to grin, stop his horse and look at the place where the sound came from.

At the door of a restaurant, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman walked out, her hand twisting the ear of a young man of the same age, and the young man grinned and followed him. When others saw the young man's embarrassed appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.

The young man was embarrassed to see so many people, and kept begging the woman: "Lady let go, let go, so many people are watching, let's go home and talk about it later." ”

The woman not only let go, but also reprimanded loudly: "If you don't study at home to prepare for the exam, you also learn to drink here, see if I don't clean you up." ”

"I'm just tired of reading, go outside, don't dare, don't dare, don't dare anymore, I will definitely do well in this exam." The young man vigorously begged for mercy from the woman.

"Walk home!" The woman let go of herself, and the young man obediently followed behind her. "What are the recent exams?" As a scholar, Zhang Shaotang is still very sensitive to the word exam. "Recently, I will recruit a group of clerks in the yamen, and the examination will be held shortly after. This young man should have run out to play without a good review at home, and was caught by his wife and deserved to be beaten. Zhang Chu gloated. This woman was too unruly to be a woman, and beat the scholar in public. This young man is really spineless, and his own women are not well disciplined. "Zhang Shaotang is very unhappy with the reader." There's no spineless problem. It's an economic issue. Zhang Chu said calmly. Economic problems? What is an economic problem? "Zhang Shaotang doesn't understand this word very well." The economic problem, to put it bluntly, is the problem of money. The reason why men can marry three wives and four concubines and regard women as playthings is because men have money in their hands. If both men and women have money in their hands, they don't know who is better than whom, and the woman just now should be a worker in my factory when she looks at her clothes, and she should be a foreman with an income of almost ten taels of silver a month, and the young man's dress should not be the son of a rich family, and he can't earn money to support his family, and his wife earns money to support him every month, so it would be strange to be polite to him again. He can only raise his head at home if he tries to find a way to make money, which has nothing to do with whether he reads or not. "But there are also women who are very rich, and they are also looked down upon by men." Zhang Shaotang was embarrassed to say that she was a rich woman. "That's because the men who look down on women are richer, or have the money of the state, and if one day the woman controls the money of the state, that is, she has power, and she will also be respected by people. When women have more money, there will be a group of men who will follow behind to curry favor. "Sven sweeps, Sven sweeps." Zhang Shaotang did not agree with Zhang Chu's theory that money determines dignity and inferiority. "You don't have to worry about this, you won't see it in 180 years. Out of sight and out of mind, you don't have to worry about what happens later. "Zhang Chu didn't want to destroy Zhang Shaotang's sense of superiority of men cultivated in a male-inferior society, so he didn't argue with him." Women can't do it even if they have money, and there are many things that women can't do. "Zhang Shaotang feels that his own truth is more correct, Zhang Chu is a thief, and he is a deviant." Let's see, the world is changing, and who knows what it will become. Zhang Chu knows that the world in the future is not something that can be mixed up by physical strength, a strong bricklayer, no beautiful writer is respected, and a male writer who hits the street has no girlfriend.

Back at the residence, Zhang Chu said that he wanted to take care of Zhang Shaotang's meal, asked him to wait in the hall, and arranged a few guards to watch. Under the pretext of preparing meals, Zhang Chu walked out.

This meal could not be eaten in vain, Zhang Chu secretly sent someone to find Guo Xiyuan, and he decided to sell Yang Jiamo, the general soldier of Gansu, for a good price. (To be continued.) )
