Sending Xu Du away, Zhai Zhe returned to the business slightly drunk.

Intuitively, he felt that Xu Du was not a simple person, but he was too unfamiliar with the land south of the Yangtze River, he didn't know the relationship of many people, and he was not familiar with the background of many people, just like a blind man. This is also why he has to dress himself up so mysteriously, and if he shows up less, he will say less wrong things and do less wrong things. Just throwing money out will not annoy people.

In fact, with the help of Lu Xiangsheng's fame, he first got acquainted with people like Zhang Pu, the head of the Restoration Society, and Zhou Yanru, the former cabinet elder, and no one dared to look for his bad luck at will.

Returning to the study and sitting down, Zhai Zhe ordered his soldiers to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of sobering soup, and waited for about a quarter of an hour after drinking it before slowly regaining his senses.

"Call Wang Yi and Ji Hong over."

The soldiers left without much effort, and Wang Yi and Ji Hong came to the door of the study at the same time.

When Ulan and his entourage arrived in Hangzhou, Zhai Zhe learned that Yongying was also three months pregnant, and the two pregnant women had a good birth in a quiet house on the outskirts of the city, and Ji Hong came to Shangmeng to help. It has been three years since Ji Hong broke his arm, his temperament has changed greatly, his walking pace is calm and powerful, the sharp aura that was once as sharp as his usual Qi knife is gone, his eyes are restrained, and his sleeves flutter in the wind.

"Meet the owner!"

"Meet the owner!"

The different titles show the different status of the two. People who were born in the army have a special name for their unique relationship with Zhai Zhe, just like Xiao Zhiyan and Meng Kang sometimes call Zhai Zhe's little brother.

"When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I was unfamiliar with the place, and it was too inconvenient to act. The imperial court has the East Factory, the West Factory and the Jinyi Guard, I have been in charge of the northern border for many years, and Wang Yi was once in charge of the dark camp. But since it was handed over to Geng Zhu, this matter has stalled, and now I want to restart it. ”

Zhai Zhe's gaze turned around the two of them, and said: "Ji Hong is in charge of this matter, Wang Yi is his helper, responsible for finding out the news, finding out the details of the people who need to know, and I will try to provide silver." ”

"Yes!" Ji Hong felt a trace of excitement in his heart, after three years, he finally re-entered the eyes of the village owner.

"Start with the business, first leave spies in all parts of Jiangnan, and the task given to you first is to find out the person of Dongyang Xudu, which will be regarded as a test for you."

"Yes!" Ji Hong and Wang Yi led the order to retreat. From now on, the spy network will be established, their leisurely days are over, this errand is extremely flexible, and it is like the east factory and the west factory of the imperial court, and the power is overwhelming, and if it is not done well, it is like the previous dark camp, and it has become a messenger who can only report news.

One of the two wants to prove that they are useful people, and the other wants to seize more power, and they are both holding back their strength.

Before he could explain clearly, before Zhai Zhe could breathe a sigh of relief, hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and a personal soldier rushed into the door like a fly, shouting: "The owner, the owner, the lady is born!" ”

"What!" Zhai Zhe seemed to have been electrocuted, ran out of the door in three steps and two steps, and almost tripped over the threshold when he went out, "What did you say?" According to Wen Po, Wulan will not give birth until more than ten days, so he is relieved to come to Hangzhou.

"Last night, the second lady had abdominal pain, and she gave birth to a son, and both mother and son were safe." The soldier finished speaking.

Zhai Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted the coachman, "Set the car." ”

By the time he returned to his house on the outskirts of the city, it was getting late, and the red clouds in the western sky were like two armies facing each other, the color of blood. Zhai Zhe glanced at it, felt a little uncomfortable, deliberately lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and rushed into the courtyard. Yongying was holding up a big belly and directing the servants to be busy, and there was a happy scene in the house.

"Congratulations, sir!" Seeing Zhai Zhe rushing in like a bull, Wen Ying covered her mouth and snickered, and bowed her knees.

Zhai Zhe walked to the door of the south wing in a few steps, and saw that Wulan was grinning at himself, his smile was as bright as a peach blossom in spring, and his heart finally settled down.

"My two sons were born, and I was not around!" Zhai Zhe laughed at himself and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. A baby with wrinkled skin lies beside Ulan, eyes closed.

"This is our son!" Ulan said a word, panting slightly.

"You're so resting, don't talk." Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand and gently stroked Wulan's head, and when he turned his head, he happened to see the blood-colored remnant sun outside the window.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Call him Tianxing, Zhai Tianxing! Almost blurted out, Zhai Zhe chose his son's name, which quickly surprised him.

Ulan nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and leaned into the fluffy pillow.

Zhai Zhe looked at his son, and then looked at Wulan, who fell asleep again due to weakness. He finally realized that he had fully integrated into this era, he had two wives, two sons, so many loyal subordinates, and witnessed the helpless death of Duke Lu. This qiē is all real, the real last years of the Ming Dynasty, and there is only one thing he has not done.

"If you want to save this era, you have to fit into it. If you want to be one step ahead of the curve, you will only leave yourself with no place to be buried. The fire clouds of different shapes outside the window fell on Zhai Zhe's eyes, which was a little hideous. It seems to reflect his ten-year campaign on the grassland, and finally reduced to a mirror.

"In this Ming Dynasty, no one cares about a general. I only know one secret, a secret that no one in the Ming Dynasty could have imagined. ”

In the golden autumn of October, Zong Mao arrived in Hangzhou with a large number of silver and goods, which were all Zhai Zhe's belongings. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, only in the hands of someone like Zong Mao, Zhai Zhe will be relieved, not only because of his loyalty, but also because of his arrogance. A proud young man is disdainful of money that does not belong to him.

Fan Yi and Tianjian stayed in Beijing to help coordinate the relationship between Shangmeng and Da Shengkui. For Fan Yi, Zhai Zhe felt that he owed her a lot, and this marriage was an exchange from the beginning. First, Fan Yongdou wanted to use this to unite with the Zhai family, and then Fan Yongdou wanted to use his power in Mongolia, but he didn't expect it to evolve into a business name that he wanted to use the Fan family. Who can see the ending from the beginning, if Fan Yongdou knew his thoughts, I don't know if he would have made such a choice. But Van Yi, as his wife, is the most reassuring for him.

Zong Mao only stayed in Hangzhou for half a month, and immediately returned to Jiangbei and set up a branch of the Shangmeng in the southern Daimyo Mansion of Gyeonggi to connect the north and the south. This year, there was a great drought in the three prefectures of Jinan, and the imperial court was there for disaster relief, and the most direct result was that the four thousand soldiers and horses hidden in the Taihang Mountains did not go out to plunder and could not survive.

The war in the Central Plains was stalemate, and Yang Sichang mobilized soldiers and horses from the nine towns to pursue and intercept Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin strictly forbade soldiers and horses to go out, so as not to cause trouble. The Shang Alliance had to purchase rice from Jiangnan, transport it to the Daimyo's Mansion, and secretly transport it to the Taihang Mountains.

Zhai Zhe needed silver, and he had never needed it like he did now.

At the end of October, eastern Zhejiang.

Dongyang County.

Zhai Zhe and Xu Du sat opposite each other.

The place where Xu Du lives is called Xu House, which means the Xu family's house. Not everyone here has the surname Xu, but everyone listens to Xu Du's orders.

"Zhai Dongjia, I didn't expect that you would really come to Dongyang to come to see me." Xu Du touched his head, revealing a hint of naivety.

"Since I said goodbye to Gongzi Xu last time, I have never forgotten the demeanor of Gongzi." Zhai Zhe took a sip of the tea cup in his hand, and said slowly: "Compared with Biluochun and Longjing, this Dongyang tea has too strong taste and too bitter taste, so it has not been sold at a price. ”

"It varies from person to person, Biluochun and Longjing are too soft, they are the favorite things of literati and ink writers in the prosperous era, and I still like the taste of Dongyang tea." Xu didn't think it was wrong.

"What Xu Gongzi said to me last time has been ringing in my ears." Zhai Zhe coughed lightly, "I only thought that Xu Gongzi was dissatisfied with the government at that time, and complained a few words at will, but I didn't expect Xu Gongzi to follow the example of Song Jiang in the Water Margin." ”

Xu Du's right hand shook, and he actually knocked over the tea bowl in front of him, and a man standing behind him pulled out half of his saber.

Zhai Zhe took another sip of tea and sat in his seat without moving.

"You're spying on me!" Xu Du's face changed slightly.

"I've always been very careful when making friends, what Xu Gongzi said, I was really insightful, in order to make Xu Gongzi a friend, I have to do this, please don't be surprised."

The man behind Xu Du looked anxious and said, "Big brother, don't listen to his rhetoric, he knows the secret, and he must not let him leave here." ”

"Don't make a fuss, if you know my past, you should understand what you are doing now, I did it ten years ago in the grassland." Zhai Zhe is as steady as Mount Tai.

Xu Du bent down to pick up the teacup, waved his hand and motioned to the entourage behind him to say more, and replied: "To tell you the truth, I did know about the experience of Zhai Dong's family in the grassland, so I went to visit Dongjia. ”

"That's right!" Zhai Zhe took another sip of tea, accidentally choked on the tea, and burst out with a violent cough, which stopped for a long time and said, "This is fair to you and me." ”

"Zhai Dong's family is here, do you want to join the gang?" Xu Du showed excitement, "If the Zhai Dong family is willing, the top spot is willing to be handed over to the Zhai Dong family to sit on." ”

Zhai Zhe shook his head and smiled, and said, "You are Song Jiang, I am not Lu Junyi." ”

"What does Zhai Dongjia mean?" Xu Du's face turned gloomy.

"It's not time to do anything yet. Xu Gongzi was in a hurry, just afraid that he would get into trouble. Zhai Zhe laughed.

"In the opinion of the Zhai Dongjia, what should I do?" Xu Du settled his mind.

"Expand armaments, contact righteous people, and wait for the opportunity."

"Zhai Dongjia's trip is not just for me!" Xu Du was on guard.

"Of course not, I'm here to share a big fortune with Gongzi Xu."

No matter what you want to do, you can't get enough of it.
