Lei Cai's face was quite calm, but he agreed meticulously, he was originally a fat man, but later he suffered a lot and became a thin body, and he naturally ate well in Zhao Ziying, but he never came back from fat, and even his back was a little rickety, Zhao Jin and his partners were just a little precocious in temperament, but Lei Cai looked like a person in his thirties and forties.

Inside and outside Hejiazhuang, in the Zhao Ziying system, inside and outside Xuzhou City, no one likes Lei Cai, and he was quite cheerful at first, but then he became more and more gloomy, making people feel very uncomfortable, but Zhao Jin's attitude towards him has not changed.

"Your rank is also a battalion school, but the Internal Guard does secret things, and you must pay attention to confidentiality when you act, I don't want too many people to know that you are the deputy head of the Internal Guard." Zhao Jin admonished.

"Please rest assured, eldest brother, younger brother understands." Lei Cai replied in a deep voice.

Zhao Jin shook his head with a smile and said teasingly: "You are too old and a little old, if you continue like this, be careful that you can't find a wife in the future." ”

Lei Cai didn't answer the joke, Zhao Jin didn't care, and continued to speak: "You have been taking care of the children of your uncle's family, but your life is so tight, I was too busy before, neglected your side, this is my fault, this time I made a small village for you on the side of Yunlong Mountain, 1,500 acres of water to irrigate the land, even if the production is for your private use, another 1,000 taels of silver here, not enough to get it again"

"Thank you, eldest brother, Zhuangzi junior brother accepts, my aunt is seriously ill in bed, two younger brothers and a younger sister are not yet adults, and a few poor relatives, just rely on this Zhuangzi, as for the silver younger brother, I don't want it, such a big manor is enough, if it is needed for official business, the younger brother will withdraw it according to the rules." Lei Cai said very formally

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, then stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, go out and drink, have a good time tonight"

"I don't drink it, don't drink it, other people are free, there must always be someone on duty at night." Chen Huang said in a sullen voice.

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, everyone rushed out, but Zhao Jin called out to Liu Yong, he lowered his voice, and his tone was relaxed: "Xiao Yong, you must have a team of people by yourself, and only you and I know the Tao of this team, don't talk about the others." ”

"Do you want to know the Dao?" Liu Yong asked in a low voice.

Zhao Jin didn't speak, just shook his head, Liu Yong nodded, and said again: "Big brother, will the guards and dark sentry brothers on your side continue to arrange?" ”

His voice was very low, Zhao Jin had already walked out, and when he heard this, he said with a smile: "Who else is it not you?" ”

This night, Zhao Jin was very drunk, because there were too many people toasting, and on such an occasion, it was not good to drink less than one glass.

The party and feast is this day, and the next day begins to be intensely busy.

In addition to the wine shop and the bazaar, all the walls and railings in Hejiazhuang were demolished, the original houses were reinforced and renovated as much as possible, toilets were added and trenches were dug, and all the vacated houses were used, and Hejiazhuang could still accommodate more than 2,000 people.

The carpenters within a radius of dozens of miles have come over, the wood has also been transferred, and all kinds of furniture and utensils are being manufactured in large quantities, all of which are requisitioned and provided by the powerful gentry from all over the place, and they directly mobilized the local craftsmen to send them to Zhao Jin's side.

The displaced people of the brigade also rushed over, some of them were piling up brick kilns, some of them were building kitchens and canteens under the command of craftsmen, and the large earthworks were also continued, and the entire area around Hejiazhuang became a large construction site

Also from the next day, the young men who were hired and recruited began to come back one after another, and the people who came back did not immediately start to form a team, but a temporary group of 50 people, these newcomers did not participate in training, but were led to live, which is also a means of strengthening physical fitness.

The regulations of Hejiazhuang were originally more and more like a military camp fortress, and around this fortress were various workshops and bazaars that he sheltered, and the location of this fortress was also a hub of transportation.

The large-scale construction here has also brought a lot of business opportunities, the rapid convergence of people and logistics, the surrounding villages and towns have the ability to come to supply materials, the ability to set up a stall, and the ability to come to help, all to earn extra money.

What many people didn't expect was that the internal construction was presided over by the monks of Yunshan Temple, because the main temple of Yunshan Temple and various lower courtyards need to provide food and accommodation for hundreds or thousands of people at one time, and they have long been experienced.

No one noticed the busyness of He Jiazhuang, and no one would ponder the reorganization of Zhao Ziying, everyone felt that it was Zhao Jin's own industry, his own people, and what he wanted to do with others couldn't be managed.

Some people also think that Zhao Jin is now rich in money, and it is when he is young and strong, he should find a few more concubines, enjoy them, spend so much money to repair houses for the family, and hire thousands of people, which is completely indiscriminate and fun for young people.

As the news and insights of that day gradually spread, what everyone really noticed was Zhao Jin's defeat.

It's not easy to get an acre of land, farmers are frugal, landlords are clever and snatched, and even have to use knives and guns to see people's lives, and if you get it, you have to manage it well, and pass it on to your children and grandchildren from generation to generation

In addition to feeling sorry for others, everyone felt suspicious, how long can such a thing be done, Zhao Jin is the master anyway, and no one can do anything if he regrets it.

But everyone knows that Zhao Jin is a man of words, he does things for people, and it is good to be able to manage a full meal, Zhao Jin gives real money here, and there is still land property, whether such a good thing is bad in the future, there must be now, and it is estimated that it will be gone if it is late.

Many of the young people who were admitted were driven out by their families, so that they could hurry back to Zhao Ziying, although they were all newcomers as soon as they came in, they could always be promoted if they performed better, and it was possible to earn themselves an heirloom industry.

Those who have the status and power of the family, more are aware of the name of the school team, there are requirements everywhere else, the conditions of the school team can be much more relaxed, their own children are thirteen or fourteen years old, or more than 20 years old have not yet landed, is it sent over?

Some people care about this, some people are concerned, the marriage between the Zhao family and the Xu family, what steps the etiquette procedure has been carried out, what is the bride price here, what is the dowry over there, this has been inquired and discussed, but there is nothing strange about it, the marriage between the two families is a recent event in Xuzhou, and it is certainly worth paying attention to.

It is said that the day when the two got married has been set, such a big family, married so quickly, it is said that it is directly said that it is the first day of October, and Zhao Jin said that this day is too big, or to change the day, so he checked the yellow calendar, saying that the second day of October is also an auspicious day, but everyone is wondering, October 1 is too big, what is the reason for this, those monks and Taoists look at feng shui gentlemen are not clear.

Xuzhou squires and local tyrants gathered in Hejiazhuang, Zhao Ziying expanded and compiled the rules, and people who really had a head and face knew what this meant, and the clerks and clerks of the Xuzhou Prefecture had no respect for Zhizhou Tong Huaizu, and now they are even more neglectful.

The news came to the yamen, Tong Zhizhou sat behind closed doors for a day, and when Chang Sui went in to clean up the next day, he found that the paper basket was full of crumpled notes, and Chang Sui curiously opened it and took a look, and found that there was a sentence written "Now Xuzhou has become Zhaozhou", and the matter came out, and there was laughter up and down.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, news came out again, saying that Tong Zhizhou's wife had persuaded Tong Huaizu, saying that the lord would endure this term, and then the sea and the sky would be broad.

It is said that Tong Zhizhou was writing a submission at that time, saying that Zhao Ziying had an unexpected, originally Mrs. Zhizhou was very neglected, Zhizhou was in the two concubines' rooms all day long, and after Zhao Jin gained power, the concubines complained all day long, but this lady often persuaded and comforted, but the relationship between the husband and wife was much better than before.

"Husband, there are still a few hundred taels of silver to share the profits, and there are often fewer returns, but it has not been cut off yet, so why tear your face"

"This official can't bear it, where is this Xuzhou of the Ming Dynasty, it is clearly the mansion of his Zhao family, I must report it to the upper stage, and someone will take care of it"

"Husband, the Wang family is so noble, and the Zhao family is friendly, what is the use of what the husband says, but he will be blamed."

"It's not appropriate to know the state"

"Husband, the official position is a trivial matter, take 10,000 steps back and say, the imperial court really sent someone to inquire, that Zhao Jin is such a tiger wolf, and he is deeply intertwined everywhere in Xuzhou, I am afraid that the lives of the husband and the concubine will not be guaranteed."

The people who eavesdropped outside also heard this, because at this time, Tong Zhizhou was discouraged and called his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and he was drunk that night, and he was still muttering something after drinking, "The cold window is insufficient, I regret not being at the beginning, if the ranking can be better, how can it be so"

When the news came out, Cai Juren gave an explanation, the first class of Jinshi went to the Hanlin Academy, the second class went to Kedao to do the imperial history, the third class went to the sixth department to do the main thing, the fourth class to do the county, and the fifth class was to do the Zhizhou, the highest grade of the Zhizhou, often the sixth grade and the fifth grade, but there is no future in a lifetime, and it is the seventh grade, and the magistrate of the magistrate is qualified to take the imperial history and give things, and this Zhizhou can only slowly boil in the position.

At that time, the ranking of the Zhizhou Tong Huai Ancestral Hall was very low, so there was such a feeling.

Shameful laughter is shameful laughter, for the sake of this Tong Huaizu who has done nothing, and for his good wife who knows the general trend of the Tao, everyone has raised the routine a little.

Compared with the ugliness of Zhizhou, the Zhixian counties of Feng County, Pei County, Xiao County and Dangshan are much better, and they sent people around them to contact around them early and showed favor to Zhao Jin's side in every way, all of which benefited from the exemption of money and food this time.

On August 19, Zhao Jin received a letter from Wang Zhaojing again, and after the collegial meeting ended that day, Zhao Jin arranged for Ruhui to write a letter explaining all the circumstances of the day, and then sent someone from the Wang family to send it over.

On the contrary, the content of Wang Zhaojing's reply was much shorter than before, and he only said one meaning except for greetings, and he would return as soon as possible.
