The news of the security army's victory also reached Zhongyang, and at the same time there was an order from Zhang Chu: Yue Yue and Li Mei handed over the work in their hands to their subordinates and quickly reported to Fugu.

Yue Yue looked at the order and secretly complained in her heart that Zhang Chu had always been unreliable, and wanted Li Mei to write a letter with herself in the past, and what kind of order could she give.

The marshal's orders must be listened to, and Yue Yue understood that Fugu himself would have a lot of work to do. Banks now play an extremely important role in the security forces, and they open wherever they go. It also opened branches in the name of Qianzhuang in several important cities such as Nanjing. The bank's credibility is getting better and better, and some merchants outside the territory of the security forces have begun to use bank-issued silver coins and bills.

Li Mei's work is also not easy, in addition to managing the school, she has gradually moved to the front desk, and more participate in the work of the security army.

After Zhang Chu returned from Jiangnan, he did not weaken Li Mei's role as Zhang Chu's representative, but consciously strengthened this point and arranged for Li Mei to engage in more social activities. Now everyone knows that Li Mei is the future housewife and respects her very much.

The two settled all their work in Zhongyang and set off soon, accompanied by Li Mei's father, Li Zhongxiao, and his daughters, as well as many people who were going to work in Fugu.

Zhang Chu looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to Li Mei and his party.

Although he was in a hurry, Zhang Chu still let Yue Yue and Li Mei go to rest first. He and Li Zhongxiao discussed the current situation together. Zhang Chu hit Hong Chengchou hard this time, causing the officers and troops in Shaanxi to lose almost all their mobile strength. It takes a long time to gather strength if you want to attack again. Wang Jiayin's thieves will take this opportunity to expand the team, to prevent him from seeking revenge from the security army, fortunately, Wang Jiayin is now in Shanxi, and it is difficult to turn back and attack the security army across the Yellow River.

When the world is in turmoil, strength is the most fundamental guarantee, if you don't have strength, anyone will come and bite you. The security forces still have to constantly strengthen their strength.

Increasing strength is easy to say, but it is difficult to achieve. To expand the army, you need food, money, and weapons, and these are all money. The security army built by Zhang Chu is now mainly based on muskets, artillery and other firearms, and needs to have its own production base, as well as more logistical support.

Li Zhongxiao had no way to do this, and let him, a bureaucrat who read sage books and engage in officialdom struggles, want to make money, and he almost asked Yu Blind to ask questions.

However, Li Zhongxiao also has his strengths, and he is very proficient in the operation of government agencies.

In the past few days, he has discovered many problems in the social management of the security forces, and most of the entire government institutions are still supported by the strength of the army. After hearing this, Zhang Chu had a sense of agreement, and asked him to go back and take time to list the problems, and then gather the upper leaders of the security army to discuss the solution.

Hurriedly ending the conversation between the two, Zhang Chu finally had time to meet the two ladies he had been thinking about for a long time.

While Zhang Chu was talking to Li Zhongxiao, Yue Yue and Li Mei had been waiting quietly in the room inside. This is the benefit of the society, and maintaining the image of virtuous and virtuous is always the first pursuit of girls. Feudal society also has disadvantages, although I haven't seen him for a long time, Zhang Chuxing rushed into the house, and didn't even get a hug to meet. Yue Yue and Li Mei sat in front of Zhang Chu together, looking even more serious and neat. This is my fiancée, I should be able to do something else, right? But looking at the appearance of the second daughter, Zhang Chu decided to be honest.

Yue Yue and Li Mei were very satisfied when they looked at Zhang Chu, and being able to see Zhang Chu was a huge improvement for them.

In ancient times, it was the words of the parents who ordered the matchmaker, and generally men and women could not meet before marriage, and the people who wanted to marry were old or young, and there was no way to know whether they were black and white and ugly. You can only marry a chicken and a dog and a dog. Now not only can Zhang Chu be seen, but Zhang Chu has also fundamentally changed their lives.

Yue Yue was robbed out of her family's small shop by Zhang Chu, and now she is in charge of the bank of the security army, and a large amount of silver money passes through her hands, she is the real god of wealth of the security army, and she has a sense of accomplishment.

Li Mei has been in the security army for more than two years, and the life of the eldest lady in the past seems to be a world away. I had to come out to work for the sake of my family and my own survival, and I fell in love with my job little by little, and was determined to be my fiancée by Zhang Chu without negotiation. I don't hate Zhang Chu at all for this person who seriously disturbs her life, but in the process of Zhang Chu making up lessons for her, I feel that this person is sometimes not bad, although most of the time it is not reliable.

Zhang Chu saw the two of them sitting there staring at him without speaking, and he couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, thinking that I haven't offended the two of you recently. Hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hands, took Yue Yue and Li Mei one hand, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The two responded in unison: "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

After speaking, the three of them couldn't help laughing together.

The three of them sat together and talked about what had happened in the past few days, and the conversation soon returned to the development of the security forces, and personal matters were rarely mentioned. Zhang Chu didn't care when he saw that he had cultivated two workaholics, and after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Chu felt too much pressure, and it was very difficult for him to lead his security forces to survive. He urgently needs to confide in someone, and he urgently needs someone to soothe his soul.

The three of them talked about their respective jobs, Zhang Chu arranged for the guards to prepare meals, and the three of them chatted while eating. The second daughter also recovered her nature as a girl, forgetting the identity of Zhang Chu's anti-thief leader. made fun of Zhang Chu's unreliable deeds. Zhang Chu could only giggle while eating.

In his previous life, Zhang Chu didn't even have a girlfriend, but now he has two at once, and he sat in front of him to eat together and ridiculed himself. This made Zhang Chu very happy.

It's just that this feudal etiquette is too strict, and when they meet before marriage, it's because he is the leader of the thieves that no one can control, so don't think about other things.

It's better to get married quickly, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Chu's age was considered a late marriage, and the security army also hoped that Zhang Chu would get married as soon as possible, and the career of the security army could be passed on. I just don't know what the two in front of me think.

Zhang Chu thought in his heart that if the two of them were willing, they would find a time to tie the knot after the Chinese New Year.

The three of them enjoyed the time of reunion together, and time passed quickly.

After eating, the topic returned to work, Yue Yue was going to build a new bank in Fugu, and Li Mei was going to prepare to establish a complete education system for the security army, and there were many things to be busy all of a sudden.

Zhang Chu was the only one left in the house, stunned, Guo Xiyuan of the Bureau of Statistics walked in, and reported to Zhang Chu after giving a salute: "There may be a problem with the trade routes on the grassland outside the Guan, and the number of Mongolian merchants who come to trade is decreasing. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chu stood up suddenly: "Find out what's going on immediately, I'll send people from the army to cooperate with you." ”

The trade route is Zhang Chu's life, and once the trade route is cut off and there is no trade, the survival of the security army will be in crisis. (To be continued.) )
