After saying this, Zhao Jin looked around at his partners and said: "These people are helpless, we place them, give them shelter and fields, let them be fed and clothed, let them not be disturbed by thieves, don't rely on us, all this is gone in front of them, where to go?" Shandong is still full of disasters and famines, and such things as Fengyang Mansion may not dare to do anything in Shandong, but there will be no shortage in a county and a township, they have nowhere to go, they can only rely on us loyally, and contribute to our death, use our strength, and fight in exchange for food and clothing for the whole family. ”

"But these more than 10,000 displaced people also have to plough the fields and do work, they also have to produce food for us, build armor for us, help us transport grain and grass, and they themselves have to live, how many people can we pull out? Thousand? Two thousand? It's not impossible to use five thousand at a time, but you can only use it once. Zhao Jin talked eloquently, the room was silent, Liu Yong lowered his head, Chen Huang, Ji Xiang and Dong Bingfeng listened carefully, and Wang Zhaojing's expression was complicated, only Ruhui seemed the most relaxed, and he kept looking at the expressions of everyone in the room.

Zhao Jin hesitated, but still said loudly: "I once told the elders, we can only get bigger and bigger, if we stop, it is equivalent to death, look at the corruption and depravity of Kong Jiuying Kongjiazhuang, everyone knows what the fate of Lu Dao is, but now that Xiaoxu is like this, if we are bigger in the future, these 10,000 homeless people are young and strong, even if we add Yunshan Temple, how many people can we come up with." ”

"Big brother, isn't it too urgent to do this, if you want to hurry, we are in such a hurry, we are expanding so much, there will be trouble" Wang Zhaojing said.

"Urgent? We don't have that much time to leisurely for a few more years, another ten years, and another ......" Zhao Jin's voice suddenly rose up, and halfway through speaking, looking at everyone's surprised expressions, he himself stopped talking, could it be that in a few more years, Jin will be bigger, and the Manchu Qing will destroy the Ming Dynasty, and the world will be turned upside down?

It was rare to see Zhao Jin speak so seriously and sharply, everyone was a little surprised, they knew that Zhao Jin must be emphasizing something, but they didn't understand why Zhao Jin wanted to emphasize so much.

Wang Zhaojing sighed, frowned and said: "Big brother, we are only twenty years old, we have already taken Xuzhou, what do you want such a big place, we are not an official government, and we have no righteous reputation, this"

"It's superfluous for you to ask this," someone raised his voice and said, but this time it was Chen Huang who spoke.

Chen Huang, who has always been taciturn, opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, and everyone was used to Chen Huang being silent when arguing, no one expected to interject at this time, and the emotions were very intense.

Chen Huang stood up from his seat, his face was gloomy, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Zhaojing and said, "Brothers do things together, how can there be so much to do, let me ask you, have we ever been in the pit?" ”

"Da Huang, I" Wang Zhaojing wanted to argue loudly, and just halfway through speaking, Chen Huang said again: "Let me ask you again, do you think that if you win the promotion, you will have to take the champion exam to be an official in the future, so you won't be mixed with us martial artists?" If this is the case, you will take your bright road now, and we will take our single-plank bridge, which will not delay your future and will not affect you."

"Don't say it," Zhao shouted in and out.

Wang Zhaojing's face turned red, he stood up from his seat suddenly, stared at Chen Huang and said: "What does it have to do with me, if I have that kind of selfish thoughts, I would have gone to Nanjing to study with Jingshi, my family would have moved to Yangzhou a long time ago, how many people did we kill together, do you say this now?" What is Delay? What is Continuity? You make it clear."

The suave Wang Zhaojing broke out like this, which made everyone even more unexpected, seeing Chen Huang and Wang Zhaojing glaring at each other like two fighting roosters, everyone else was also anxious, Zhao Jin stood directly between the two and shouted angrily: "What do you want? Do you want to pull out your weapons and fight? Sit back for me."

Dong Bingfeng, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong were also busy standing up, but they were also at a loss at this time, and they didn't know whether to pull away or dissuade them, but Ruhui over there stepped forward and retreated, with a stronger smile on her face.

Under Zhao Jin's gaze, Wang Zhaojing and Chen Huang both returned to their seats, Chen Huang did not speak, Wang Zhaojing hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Big brother, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Yes, I want to get these tens of thousands of displaced people in my hands." Zhao Jin opened his mouth and replied, of course he knew that what Wang Zhaojing was asking was not this, but there were some things that could not be said clearly.

Wang Zhaojing sat there with a change of expression, and when he reached the end, he sighed and said, "Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, the younger brother will go all out." ”

No one thought that the discussion against an outsider would actually make his brothers quarrel, but fortunately, everything that should have been said had been said, so he simply dispersed and went home, Zhao Jin only left Liu Yong behind, Dong Bingfeng left twenty cavalry in the city, and he returned to Hejiazhuang with the horse team.

He Cuihua is an open-minded mother-in-law, she can think of many things by herself, it is said that Zhao Jin is very happy to get married, but she has a heart, and she should laugh happily all day long, but He Cuihua can't cry or laugh all day.

After the daughter-in-law enters the door and greets her in-laws, she must take the initiative to take care of the housework and respect the elders.

But the Zhao family is completely different, Xu Zhenzhen is cooking, and the craftsmanship is okay, four dishes and one soup can be regarded as sumptuous, but it is the maids who help to deal with everything, the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family started to stir-fry and clean up, had lunch with the second elder, cleaned up and washed the dishes, etc., and after chatting with him, Xu Zhenzhen said goodbye and went back to the room.

Other people's daughters marry into their own homes, the family can't be treated badly, their son ran out of the house early to work, thinking that the daughter-in-law will feel left out, He Cuihua pondered the past to comfort a few words, but as soon as she entered the yard next door, she was startled, and the maids in the yard ran with the account book, and there were more than a dozen middle-aged people standing outside who looked like the foreman of the ministry and kept passing the word and answering questions.

These people were busy saluting when they saw He Cuihua coming, He Cuihua stepped into the courtyard, and withdrew with a wry smile, the daughter-in-law is so busy, don't go over and delay the business.

When it was about to get dark, Zhao Jin returned with a serious face, He Cuihua complained to Zhao Zhentang while making people busy with dinner: "I thought that I could take care of my heart and live a good life at home, you see, the little couple is busier than the other, this is like a new home, but like the public court of the yamen." ”

"Nonsense, how can they be busy in the public court of the Yamen, the children are busy with the children's affairs, let's not worry about it, it's useless to worry." Zhao Zhentang thought very openly, drank and said with a smile.

Dinner was eaten by a family of four, Xu Zhenzhen brought a lot of servants, so Zhao San and his wife were automatically upgraded to the stewardship class, and the brothers and sisters of the Meng family were also a lot more leisurely, they were very happy, the servants on the Xu family's side stayed in the door of the mansion, and naturally looked down on the Zhao family's subordinates who had no rules in this small family, and looked down on them, but the heavily armed guards outside the Zhao family shocked them, making these wealthy slaves quite restrained, so it was also a happy atmosphere.

After saying a few words with their parents, Zhao Jin and Xu Zhenzhen returned to their own house, when they were alone, Xu Zhenzhen didn't like that there were too many servants and subordinates in the yard to serve, and the maid Meixiang only stayed in the side room, waiting for the summons at any time.

Zhao Jin had to practice martial arts by himself for dinner, wearing armor and holding a spear, boiling his body in the yard, and when he entered the house after he finished cooking, the tea and snacks were ready, and the tea was just right to eat.

Xu Zhenzhen didn't look at the account book or manipulate the female red, but walked slowly around the house, Zhao Jin looked at it in surprise, Xu Zhenzhen explained with a smile: "The concubine is in charge of the day, her brain is too tired, and she always likes to walk slowly around the house when it is dark and has nothing to do, you can empty your mind, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night, and you will be even more tired the next day." ”

"It's more comfortable to warm up the room and soak in the tub." Zhao Jin said casually, there are many ways to relax the body, and taking a hot bath is very effective.

After saying this, Xu Zhenzhen stopped and looked at it in surprise, which made Zhao Jin also strange, and thought that he had said something wrong.

"Husband, the concubine thought a lot before coming to the Zhao family, the concubine has been in charge of housework for so many years, and has her own habits and rules everywhere, and the husband has such a big stall in his hands, he must be decisive, the concubine's behavior will make the husband very annoyed and irritable, the concubine has already prepared, if the husband is unwilling, the concubine will try to do it according to the husband's side, but I didn't expect the husband to be so intimate." Xu Zhenzhen said suspiciously.

Zhao Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, everything was taken for granted, he said with a smile: "You have your habits, I have my habits, if it doesn't affect each other, you don't have to change it, wouldn't it be better to live a relaxed and comfortable life by yourself?" ”

"The concubine still feels weird" Xu Zhenzhen chuckled, but stopped continuing the topic and continued to walk slowly around the house.

When Zhao Jin changed his clothes, Xu Zhenzhen came over to help, his movements were not very skilled, and he was even a little stiff, after all, husband and wife life needed to be run-in, Zhao Jin didn't care about it, and when he finished tidying up, Zhao Jin stopped Xu Zhenzhen and asked, "Is there a shortage of people in the Xu family?" ”

Xu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied: "Naturally, there is a shortage, every winter and the New Year, the laborers, men and craftsmen are in a hurry to go home, even if the salary is more, they are not willing to stay, but the coal kiln mine is good to say, the iron furnace is extinguished by one cost, the cost of work is too great, those displaced people who are taken in this year are just used to do work, and the Xu family should be better this year than last year." ”

The meaning of the words is very dead, that is, the Xu family is short of people, and the thousands of homeless people who have already eaten are not ready to be released, Zhao Jin naturally understands, it seems that the transformation of the daughter of the Xu family to the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family will take some time.

"With more labor, is the Xu family willing to accept it?" Zhao Jin asked with a smile.
