Early the next morning.

As soon as Zhang Chu opened his eyes, he saw Zhiqiu sitting by the window in pajamas, supporting his head with one hand, looking at the sky in a daze.

He stretched and asked vaguely, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Zhiqiu glanced back at him, and asked in a melancholy whisper, "Master, did you say that the concubine went to see Doctor Xu?"

Zhang Chu sobered up a little, sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Not ......"

Zhiqiu shook his head, and finally lowered his head to look at his flat lower abdomen, and said faintly: "The belly of the concubine, why is it so unlucky?"

Zhang Chu smiled dumbly, it turned out that Hua Gu was pregnant with a child, which stimulated this little woman.

He got up, hugged him with sleepy eyes, and muttered softly, "What are you afraid of, we are still young." ”

Zhiqiu twisted his body, so that his head could rest more comfortably on his shoulder: "But Sister-in-law Hua has only been with Brother Zheng for more than four months, and she has a ......."

Zhang Chu was stunned.

Hey?

That's the truth!

He and Zhiqiu had never done any contraception.

He prides himself on being a dragon and a tiger.

It's been seven or eight months in the same room, why didn't Zhiqiu get pregnant?

Even if a woman's ovulation period is only two or three days a month, he won't miss it every month, right?

Could it be ......

When I fried myself in an iron pot, did I have a problem?

Zhang Chu couldn't help touching his bald head and said in a low voice: "What, why don't I go to Dr. Xu to take a look?"

"You are not allowed to say that!"

Zhiqiu covered his mouth in disgust, "There must be something wrong with the concubine." ”

Women in this era always habitually blame themselves for not being able to have children, feeling that their stomachs are not angry.

But Zhang Chu also has the soul of a modern person, of course he knows that giving birth to a child is a matter of two people, and problems with either party will lead to infertility...... Even the man's problems are often more than the woman's.

"It's okay, let's go and have a look!"

Zhang Chu smiled: "It's time to check your body." ”

Zhiqiu only thought that he was to comfort himself, and looking at his gaze, it was so blazing that it was about to melt.

The breath was slightly dull......

Just as the little couple was about to take advantage of the heat, the door rang.

"Chu'er, Zhiqiu, have you gotten up?"

It was Zhang's voice.

"Mother, get up. ”

Zhang Chu got up, straightened out Zhiqiu's messy clothes, and walked over to open the door while responding.

When he opened the door, he saw his wife standing outside the door with a large bowl of pungent and steaming brown medicinal soup.

"Mother, what is this?"

Zhang Chu looked at the big bowl of medicinal soup suspiciously and asked.

"It's none of your business, stay there!"

Zhang, who has been sick for a long time, is rarely full of energy today.

"Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu, come on, drink it while it's hot! This is the recipe that my mother went to Dr. Li in Nancheng to ask for, and they all said to drink ten pairs and hold two for three years!"

"Hey, here comes my mother!"

Zhiqiu greeted him with a smile, and took the big bowl of medicinal soup as if he got the treasure, and after blowing it gently, he poured it into his stomach in a big gulp.

Skinny little man, the bowl was bigger than her face.

Zhang Chu was so distressed that his face turned black, but he didn't dare to squeak when he saw his mother's posture of supervising Zhiqiu drinking medicine.

It turned out that Zhiqiu was not the only one who was stimulated.

......

Time slipped away little by little in the strange smell of herbs wafting in Zhang's mansion.

The sixth day of the first month.

Zhang Chu received a report from the Blood Shadow Guard, and Shen Bai and Zhang Lingfeng successfully worshiped the Qingxia Sect with four hundred taels of silver as their apprenticeship, opening their rivers and lakes.

Zhang Chu and the mule took Shen Bai and Zhang Lingfeng as cases, and after several discussions, they decided to formally establish a standing talent mechanism, select school-age children from the children adopted in Zhang's mansion, and send them to Wuding County and even the small and medium-sized Jianghu sects in Xuanbei Prefecture to learn martial arts at the appropriate time.

The duration of martial arts learning is determined by the contribution to the Blood Shadow Guard during the period of martial arts learning.

In short, if Zhang Chu felt that he still had the need to continue to take root in his sect, he could stay in his sect for two more years.

If you don't contribute much to the Blood Shadow Guard during the period of martial arts learning, you won't have much improvement in your own martial arts practice...... Then it's better to pull a few downs as soon as possible, and go back to the Quadruple Gang to learn how to cut people!

The approximate period is as short as two years and as long as eight years.

Two years, is the kind of person who is particularly unmotivated.

Eight years, is the kind of person who is particularly motivated.

Normally, between four and five years.

According to the grade, they entered various sects to learn martial arts at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and four or five years were enough to enter the product, and when they returned to the Silian Gang, they were exactly about twenty years old, which was the most bloody and hard-working age.

This huge plan is built on huge overhead.

The apprentice has to give the apprenticeship, and there will be a lot of expenses in the process of learning martial arts, all of which are paid by the Silian Gang.

Take Shen Bai and Zhang Lingfeng as examples.

The two of them each had two hundred taels of worship during their apprenticeship.

In the future, every month, the Quadruple Gang will send twenty taels to them as daily expenses.

Is it more than twenty taels?

If it were replaced by these ordinary people in the sycamore, it would of course be an astronomical sum that they couldn't sell even if they were sold.

But for those who practice martial arts, there are really not many, and they can only ensure that they have meat to eat at the same time, and they can also sell tonic medicine every once in a while.

One person is twenty taels, and two people are forty taels.

And in Zhang Chu and the mule's plan, in the first five years, a hundred people were to be sent out.

For 100 people, if the average apprenticeship is 200 taels, it is 20,000 taels.

In the future, they have to give 2,000 taels every month for their daily expenses.

Five years, that's 120,000 taels of silver!

This is the real poor and rich!

That is, the Quadruple Gang has developed the rudder of districts and counties in order to support such a huge plan.

In the past, the Silian Gang, which only had this territory in the west of the city, couldn't afford this expense at all.

At such a big price, Zhang Chu was not worried that he would raise a group of white-eyed wolves.

In other words, the white-eyed wolf is certain, after all, the forest is big, and there will be any bird.

Five years later, if he is unwilling to return to the Silian Gang to serve, Zhang Chu will not force him, the twisted melon is not sweet, as long as he owes the Silian Gang, he can pay it off...... Of course, this must be calculated according to the interest rate of Suzaku Hall's printing money.

If he dares to turn his face and deny it because he has learned some martial arts, Zhang Chu has a way to let him know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has.

Don't talk about it, just say that they have entered the identities of various sects and factions, and all the fake identities provided by the Quadruple Gang, dare not admit it, as long as the Quadruple Gang shakes out his old foundation, it is guaranteed that he will not be able to eat and walk around...... No sect will tolerate the appearance of spies under the sect.

Zhang Chu selected small and medium-sized Jianghu sects as the target of the Quadruple Gang's entry into the rivers and lakes, to prevent the white-eyed wolf from counterattacking.

What is a small and medium-sized sect?

Zhang Chu defines the Jianghu sect that does not have the middle and third grade qi sea giants.

Give the Quadruple Gang another five years, which small and medium-sized Jianghu sect is still qualified to wrestle with the Quadrangle?

Zhang Chu hopes to use this plan to make the Quadruple Gang jump out of this barrier of AllHeaven.

If all goes well, the Quadruple will slowly transform from a market gang to a gang.
