Chapter 54: The Qu Family in Qi County
There is still potential, ask for collection!!
The weather is a little warmer, but still cold.
Zhou Yuji is very strange, this recruitment is still continuing nervously, and when there is a shortage of people, Zhou Huchen came over to conduct some "training".
However, Zhou Yuji is at ease with Zhou Huchen, since he wants to "train", he will "train"! Zhou Yuji happily agreed to Zhou Huchen's military action. β¦ In this way, Zhou Huchen went to the camp and mobilized 3,000 soldiers from the original Beijing camp, for the simple reason that he could be trusted.
The generals of the ten guards and the 2,000 guards had been waiting for a long time, when Zhou Huchen greeted him, and the 5,000-strong army quickly marched out, leaving Datong in this way, and with the infinite expectations of these guards and soldiers, the "training" began.
In addition to carrying their own weapons, this team of 5,000 people also carried two or three hundred carts pulled by livestock. "Logistics supply vehicle".
The 5,000 army swaggered all the way, chickens flew and dogs jumped, passers-by dodged one after another, Zhou Huchen was very high-profile, the army has been marching south, as for the destination, no one knows except Zhou Huchen.
There is no need for any customs clearance documents at all, this Zhouzi banner is unimpeded everywhere, everyone knows that the current Shanxi general army is the Ming prince Shaobao Zhou Yuji, and the team that dares to act like this in Shanxi will not be anyone else except Zhou Yuji's soldiers.
This march was ten days, and the generals of the ten guards and the two thousand soldiers of the guards finally knew that Weishenme Zhou Yuji's team was always extremely full of spirit and spirit. The diet is absolutely enviable, and I want to cry; Three meals a day, at noon and in the evening, I basically have to have some meat, and as for being full, it is a must.
It seems reasonable that tens of thousands of people are willing to go to Datong to join the army, this is a landlord-style life! A very wealthy family can have such a life, right?
What amazed these guards even more was that these soldiers led by Zhou Huchen didn't know what tiredness was, and the march of fifty or sixty miles a day was extremely easy, and they were full of energy as if they were iron men. The long procession was unbelievable, and for ten days it was encamped or advancing, and the soldiers were extremely relaxed, and not a single one of the two or three hundred carts was left behind.
This is called the difference, and then look at these guards soldiers, one by one, with their heads bowed, ragged, and loosely carrying the weapons in their hands, they are moving forward with difficulty, as for the queue, it is equal to nothing.
The contrast is too strong, and that's what people call discipline!
It's good that these guards can keep up, the marching speed is too fast, but no matter how hard and tired they are, these guards don't dare to complain. The food that was almost a luxury was so attractive that no one wanted to give it up, no one dared to fall behind, and when they broke away from this team, they couldn't eat anything, as if they were going to lose a promised salary.
Zhou Huchen proved with facts; Only well-fed soldiers have energy, and only temptation can they have motivation!
Finally, after passing the city of Taiyuan on the eleventh day of the south, he arrived in Qi County, and Zhou Huchen announced that the destination had arrived, and Zhou Huchen's goal was here.

The Qu family is the richest man in Qi County, one of the famous Jinzhong giant businessmen in the country, the Qu family is originally from the eldest son of the Shangdang County, in the early Ming Dynasty, the ancestor Qu Ji often traveled back and forth between the Shangdang in Qi County to sell local products, taking advantage of the price difference between the two places, making a profit from it, for a long time, with a little savings, he settled down in Qi County. His son still made a living from hawkers, and as the trade flourished, the Qu family gradually became wealthy.
The fourteenth Qu Tonghai of the Qu family became rich by "going to the west exit" to do business, and opened the "Changyuan Hou" brand name alone to make the Qu family really strong, thus ending the life of street vendors, starting to set up a shop and establishing a brand. Later, with the abundance, two large tea estates of Changyuanchuan and Changshunchuan were added, and tea was purchased from Liangxiang and then distributed to various places.
By the time of Wanli, they began to traffic salt in the Yangtze River basin, and by this time, the Qu family had accumulated a large amount of commercial capital, and by the Chongzhen Dynasty, it was already the golden age of the Qu family.
The current helmsman of the Qu family is Quyuan Town, which is the word "source", and this helmsman is very young, just forty years old this year, and it can be said that he is in the prime of life.
"Big shopkeeper, someone has cast a famous thorn, it seems that the origin is not small!"
Hearing the report of the subordinate, Qu Yuan Town, who was sorting out the accounts, put down the account book in his hand, his fingers lightly tapped some desktops, and the subordinate put the name thorn in Qu Yuan Town's hand very interestingly.
The famous thorn in front of me is very particular, it belongs to the bronzing famous thorn, such a famous thorn is not available to anyone, and the person who comes is definitely not a layman.
"Zhou Huchen, Zhou Binghan."
This delicate name thorn only has this name, without any other information, Qu Yuanzhen thought about it again and again, and he finally decided; I don't know this very strong name.
"Tell the guest and I'll be there right away!"
Quyuan Town understands that the person who holds such a famous thorn should not be a businessman, this is not to talk about business, the most likely is a celebrity he doesn't know, or maybe he is a sour man who came to fight the famine. Such a person can't be offended, businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money, Quyuan Town doesn't care about that little money, no one can say for sure, if you offend such a person, you will get into trouble in the future. Therefore, Quyuan Town must respectfully welcome it out and reflect its own mind.
The next person went out to inform the guests, Quyuan Town took a sip of the tea that had become warm unhurriedly, and then got up to greet him.
Coming to the gate, the subordinate was waiting for Quyuan Town, and with the gesture of the subordinate, Quyuan Town, who had left the gate, finally saw the visiting guest.
There seemed to be something wrong with this person in front of him, this person didn't have the slightest bookish atmosphere, he stood there straight, as if he was a javelin for the Qu family to guard the gate.
"Excuse me, this is Zhou"
"Are you Quyuan Town?"
Qu Yuanzhen was stunned, this person was very rude, not at all, he actually interrupted the master's words rudely, this is unreasonable!
"I am!"
"My general asked me to leave a message for you, go outside Xicheng by yourself, my general is waiting for you."
After saying that, this javelin-like man left without hesitation.
"Zhou Huchen, Zhou Binghan, General Zhou"
Quyuan Town couldn't understand that he didn't know any General Zhou, of course, the Qu family had business dealings with Kouwai, and naturally had people who were familiar with some of the generals who guarded the pass, but it should be in the area of Zhangjiakou Fort and the side wall, how could he run here?
Dealing with these people requires silver, which is nothing. Qu Yuanzhen believed in his memory, and in his memory, it seemed that there were no high-ranking military attachΓ©s surnamed Zhou among these people, so there was no need to be too afraid.
Could it be
Yesterday evening, Quyuan Town heard that a huge army had come to the west of Qi County, which also caused a lot of panic in the county seat and its vicinity, and the officials of the county government also went out of the city to investigate. I heard that these troops only passed through Qi County and were temporarily stationed, maybe this army came to him to fight the famine.
Quyuan Town began to have a headache, this huge army should be transiting, it must have heard of his name, and now it is time for him to pay for his unjust head.
