Seeing Zhou Quan's appearance, Zhou Tong understood a little in his heart.

He sighed secretly, this kid is smart and clever now, but it's a pity that he can't concentrate on practicing martial arts, and he is afraid that he will lose most of his martial arts skills in this generation.

"If your son practices the family martial arts diligently and can learn a few life-saving kung fu, how can he be chased and dived? Second brother, you're too careless! ”

Zhou Tong is old, and the elderly inevitably feel sorry for the younger generation, so they didn't send Zhou Quan down, but grabbed Zhou Fu and gave him another fierce training. Zhou Fu is nearly 20 years younger than Zhou Tong, and he was brought up by Zhou Tong when he was young, saying that he is a brother, and his love is better than that of father and son, so he can only stand honestly and be trained.

Seeing that he finally got a father, Zhou Quan was very satisfied, and hid next to him to steal fun.

After the training, Zhou Tong sighed: "I never thought that Quan'er would have such skills, popsicles, snow candy...... I heard the names of these two things in Western Kyoto, but I didn't know that my nephew made them! However, Quan'er, why Liang Shicheng? ”

"What is Liang Shicheng?" Zhou Quan was a little dazed.

"Why did you offer snow candy to Liang Shicheng?"

Originally, Zhou Tong thought that Zhou Quan would say something ugly, but Zhou Quan explained the problem clearly in one sentence: "It's convenient to find him." ”

It is indeed convenient to find him, just go through Li Yun. Anyway, they all want to send Snow Candy out, which can not only help themselves, but also resolve the previous conflict with Li Yun and reduce Jia Yi's help.

As for others, such as the Cai family and Yang Jian, they all revealed that they wanted to attract him. But these two families turned their faces very quickly, and Zhou Quan had a bit of a temper, so he naturally wouldn't stick to his hot face.

"It's a big Zhuangzi, and there are hundreds of acres of fields...... I never thought that you would do such a big thing, which is far better than 200 yuan, so according to the preface, I handed over the 6,000 yuan in exchange for you! Zhou Tong smacked his lips, if it weren't for Zhou Fu still around, he would have thought that his nephew was bragging.

"Thank you, uncle!" Zhou Quan was overjoyed.

"What are you going to do next?" Zhou Tong asked again.

"I said that I want this money to seek some benefits for the bereaved families who have no livelihood in the forbidden army." Zhou Quan glanced at Zhou Tong, saw that his words made the other party laugh, knowing that the other party's appetite was right, so he continued: "When I was making a popsicle box, I knew a carpenter with good skills, I had the heart to invite him to be the master and bring a few apprentices out to ......."

Zhou Quan told Zhou Tong about his plan, Zhou Tong only heard half of it, then waved his hand, and said with a half-self-deprecating smile: "I don't understand these things, but you don't forget your original intention, just remember that it is for the bereaved family of the forbidden army...... I have been in the northwest for more than 20 years, and I have seen a lot of tragic situations, but I can't do anything, you are more capable than me and your father, so you can do it. ”

Gaining a strong martial arts is just the fate of Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu, and it is only serious to find another way.

Hearing Zhou Tong's emotion, Zhou Fu, who had never raised his head, straightened his chest: "Big brother, now I am also a civil official." ”

Zhou Tong glanced at him: "Others are shadows, you are an official who relied on your son, and you have no position, what can you be proud of?" ”

Zhou Fu suddenly felt that it was boring.

Fortunately, at this time, someone suddenly called him in front of the door: "Zhou Daguan, Zhou Daguan!" ”

Zhou Fu perked up, confessed his sin and ran out, and after a while, he ran back with a strange face: "Someone invited me to be a guest." ”

"Who?" Zhou Quan asked casually.

"You still want to take care of your Lao Tzu's affairs?" Zhou Fu snorted.

"Who?" As a result, his humming caused Zhou Tong to also ask.

Zhou Tong spoke, and Zhou Fu suddenly became honest: "It's a few civil officials ......"

"I see, then you can go." Hearing some civil officials, Zhou Tong nodded slightly.

Taizu Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty are all extremely smart characters, they suppress the military and promote the literature, the military generals see the civil officials, and they are born unable to raise their heads, and the civil officials see the military generals, and instinctively have a sense of superiority. Even if he is as meritorious as Di Qing, in the face of Han Qi, who is pointing fingers, he can't keep the love of his subordinates and will be used as a sacrifice for Liwei.

Therefore, the brothers Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu, who were born in martial arts, are naturally a little afraid of civil officials. Now Zhou Fu can be regarded as a member of the civil officials, and it is natural for him to want to join it and be accepted by him.

Zhou Quan knew very little about this, so he didn't care about it, but he saw his father, who was dignified on weekdays, behaved like a child in front of Zhou Tong's uncle, and secretly felt interesting in his heart.

"No, no, Dad, why are they looking for you at this time, I remember you said, you went back and forth before, even the donors of Dali Temple didn't pay much attention to you." Seeing that Zhou Fu was about to go out, Zhou Quan felt that something was wrong and shouted behind his back.

Zhou Fu turned his face and looked at his son's gaze a little complicated, as if he was not ready to say the reason.

So Zhou Quan grabbed Zhou Tong's arm: "Uncle, look! ”

Zhou Dong's face sank, and Zhou Fu could only say helplessly: "The illness of the official family has been cured." ”

Previously, those officials were cold to Zhou Tong, not because he took Liang Shicheng's path, but because of the rumors that Zhao Ji ate popsicles and damaged his body!

It has been nearly two months now, and Zhao Ji has been plagued by illness and unwell, until Yang Jie, a famous doctor in Sizhou, entered the palace and cured one of them with ice decoction pills.

Now that Zhao Ji's illness has recovered, the charges that the Zhou family was faintly detained at the beginning will be gone, and the fact that Zhou Fu can get the most popular snow candy ticket in Beijing today has made him hot.

"Speaking of which, it's still thanks to Quan'er!" Zhou Tong snorted.

Zhou Quan laughed, but Zhou Fu walked away in embarrassment, lamenting in his heart that his brother was so tossed that he had completely lost face in front of his son.

Not to mention that Zhou Fu was trained by Zhou Dong to draw circles in the corner every day, since Zhou Dong returned to Beijing, Zhou Quan was like a wild horse on the loose, wandering outside all day long.

With Zhou Tong, a super bodyguard, by his side, he no longer has to be confined to his home, so he naturally goes out desperately to have fun.

What had been stalled was quickly implemented. Ten days later, Zhou Quan came to the yard of carpenter Lao Min again.

The courtyard is still full of chaos, but now there are a few more apprentices, and when he saw Zhou Quan coming, Lao Min was a little surprised: "Da Lang, you are here!" ”

Now in the streets and alleys, many small traders and vendors sell popsicles, ice drinks, and steamed buns, all pushing wooden boxes with four wheels, most of which are made by Lao Min.

Although there is no patent at this time, Lao Min used Zhou Quan's creativity, but he didn't even say hello, and he was somewhat ashamed.

Zhou Quan was unimpressed: "Dr. Min, how is the person I asked you to help teach?" ”

"Doctor" is an honorific title for carpenters, just like Dr. Tea, Lao Min heard this, and shook his head again and again: "Teaching is teaching...... It's just that this is only more than ten days of work, where can I talk about it, Da Lang, I don't dare to say that they can become teachers, these disciples of mine, three years of small work, three years of big work, three years of skill, and they have to study for nine years......"

"Hehe, I'm not asking them to learn a craft like Dr. Min!" Zhou Quan laughed: "Call them out, and the things I ordered have all been made, right?" ”

"It's done!" Lao Min's face was a little bitter: "But Da Lang, they really haven't learned, if there is any problem, you don't blame me." ”

Zhou Quan didn't want to train master carpenters in the first place, he just hoped that these people could learn a little carpenter skills.

After a while, the six men walked out and saw Zhou Tong, all of them hurriedly saluted, some calling grandfather and some calling uncle.

Zhou Tong vaguely recognized that these were the children of his colleagues in the old Japanese army, and the situation of dying with the blood of the robes back then came to his mind, making Zhou Dong's old eyes a little red.

"Dr. Min, ask your apprentice to help me and send the things to me...... Brother Ding Jiu, a few of you go to the blacksmith Duan, Sun Cheng and Wang Qinian are there, and you will listen to him then. Zhou Quan didn't wait for Zhou Tong to sigh, and began to give orders.

These six men were all picked out by Zhou Fu, and they were relatively honest. They still have the identity of soldiers of the forbidden army, but Zhou Fu greeted their superiors, which can be regarded as temporary borrowing. In the past, they were rarely called by the powerful to drive them away, especially those who were Tong Guan and Gao Yu, and they were even more driven like slaves, so they didn't resist working for Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan.

What's more, compared to the unpaid service for the powerful, Zhou Quan has clear rewards and punishments here, and the only thing they are worried about is whether Zhou Quan's promises can be implemented.

The six of them went to the blacksmith section, while Zhou Tong and Zhou Quan led Lao Min's apprentices to drag a large cart of goods out of the city.

Although Liang Shicheng is greedy for money and profit, his words count, and he gave a village and Zhou Quan only more than ten miles away from Kaifeng City.

Zhou Tong had already known about this courtyard, but he had not come to see it, this time with Zhou Quan, only to see a wide road, from the bank of the Bianhe River, leading to a courtyard. He looked at the fields on both sides: "It's all watering...... Yes, yes, this grange can feed one or twenty families. ”

"One or twenty households...... Uncle, you look down on me too much! Zhou Quan was full of spirits and waved his hand: "I want to feed hundreds of thousands of families here!" ”

Zhou Tong only regarded it as a child's big talk and didn't care. He noticed that the ground was newly mated loess, and immediately asked, "Are these loess mated by the original owner's family, or are they mated by you?" ”

"Naturally, I asked people to pad, originally I wanted to pad it into sand and gravel soil, but the sand and gravel are too expensive, so I can only use loess...... Fortunately, people used the ox to pull the mill and run it several times, so it was quite smooth, but after a long time, it still didn't work! Zhou Quan was very dissatisfied with this road.

As he spoke, he arrived at Zhuangzi. Zhou Tong found that the area around Zhuangzi was originally a place with fertile fields, but it was flattened out and also covered with soil, and dozens of men were busy there, looking like they were starting a house.

"What does that mean?"

"Plan ahead so you don't have to recruit people when you get it." Zhou Quan said.

Zhou Tong scratched his head, only feeling that he couldn't keep up with his nephew's thoughts at all, there was so much fertile land, he didn't go to farming, he actually did what to plan in advance.

Could it be that he really wants to raise hundreds of thousands of families here?
