After Nie Yutang sent Zhang Chu out of the house, he returned to the "Jingsi Building" and saw his father standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands.

He hurriedly went upstairs and said, "Father." ”

"How is your relationship with this Zhang Chu?"

Nie Ben turned his back to him and asked lightly.

Nie Yutang said sneeringly: "It can only be regarded as a friend of wine and meat...... This guy is not as easy to fool as Wu Qianyuan. ”

"It's a pity, this Zhang Chu is indeed a masterpiece!"

Nie Ben: "Judging the situation, in the year when Jintianfu was established, there will be no more than a palm to compete with it." ”

When Nie Yutang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the back of his old father, and he was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that his old father, who had always cherished words like gold, would have such a high evaluation of Zhang Chu.

After being silent for a while, Nie Ben said again: "Song Tiannan led the Xiang army to the northern Xinjiang, and the position of the county soldier Cao became vacant again. ”

Nie Yutang was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Father, Zhang Chu is only eight grades." ”

Nie Ben didn't answer his words directly, but just replied lightly: "He has already practiced the marrow twice." ”

Nie Yutang's face was horrified.

Second marrow training?

So fast?

When I met him last year, he had just advanced to the eighth grade......

"There seems to be a master behind Zhang Chu, you don't want to underestimate him. ”

Nie Ben seemed to sense the surprise in his second son's heart, and spoke up to mention him.

......

"Jingle Bell ......"

The black carriage drove smoothly to the west of the city.

Zhang Chu knelt in the carriage, feeling sticky and not at all.

After he came out of Nie's mansion, he found that his underwear was already soaked.

This is the first time anyone has put so much pressure on him.

When he first met Hou Juntang, although there was also pressure, that pressure only made him cautious in his words and deeds.

And in front of Nie Ben, he had to be careful even to breathe.

But he was in no mood to think about it now, whether this was Nie Ben's official authority cultivated by his long-term residence as a county lieutenant, or his strength as a six-rank qi sea tycoon, which caused him so much pressure.

He was thinking about what Nie Ben's sentence "rare" meant.

Yes.

He used 100,000 taels to buy the word "rare" from Nie Ben's mouth.

"Rare... Rare... Rare ......"

Zhang Chu's frowning pondering.

Is it rare for him to have so much money?

Or is it rare for him to have the heart to serve the country?

Or is it rare for him to have such eyesight?

Or is it all three?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't be sure what Nie Ben meant, so he simply gave up.

"Well, according to the accounts on the face of the Silian Gang, take out the 100,000 taels, and almost bankrupt, and he has no reason to stare at my Silian Gang anymore?"

At the end of August last year, the Silian Gang annexed Nancheng and Beicheng, and the monthly income only increased to 100,000 taels.

But these 100,000 taels will cost 20% per month, that is, 20,000 taels to Hou Juntang.

The remaining 80,000 taels, excluding the expenses of supporting the 3,000 men and horses of the Silian Gang, as well as all kinds of messy expenses, can leave 20,000 taels of silver every month.

By the beginning of this year, there will be 1120,000 silver left.

This is the account of the helmsman of the Quadruple Gang, and there are too many people in the gang who handle this account, and they can't hide the investigation of those who have a heart.

Zhang Chu took out 100,000 taels at one time this time, which means: My money has been taken out, and even if you kill me later, you will only bleed, not money......

In times of war, the first to suffer is always those big dogs.

The enemy wants to rob.

I want to rob myself.

The Quadruple Gang is now one of the fattest dogs in AllBright.

In order not to be killed by the county government to eat meat, Zhang Chu could only bleed himself......

This is the mismatch of virtue.

His martial arts realm can't suppress so much wealth.

Zhang Chu sighed: "The wind blows the eggshell, and the wealth goes to the people's happiness." ”

He understands everything.

But he still hurts.

That's 100,000 taels!

How many bowls of chop soup stalls do you have to sell to earn 100,000 taels?

......

Zhang Chu returned to the helm of the Silian Gang, and the mules were already waiting for him in the lobby.

Seeing him striding in, the mule hurriedly got up and saluted: "Master Chu, what did Master Nie say?"

Zhang Chu shook his head: "He didn't say anything...... Why, all the family members at the entrance of the four halls have been counted?"

The mule nodded: "Yes...... Are you mentally prepared?"

Zhang Chu took a deep breath and said, "Say it!"

"More than 17,900 people. ”

Zhang Chu's brain hurts: "Jintianfu helm"

The mule nodded firmly: "Jintianfu Helm!"

Zhang Chu walked to the hall and sat down, his hands gently pressing his temples: "How far is it from Jintianfu to Xiliangzhou?"

Mule: "I just found a few merchants who ran the line between Jintianfu and Xiliangzhou to inquire, from Jintianfu to Xiliangzhou, along the way to pass through one county and three counties, eight hundred miles of horse road, even if the team is in a hurry, it will take at least ten days." ”

"Ten days?"

Zhang Chu's head hurt even more.

In fact, his best choice now is to leave the Quadruple Gang and run away secretly with his family......

There are few people, the goal is small, as long as you are far away from AllHeaven, you can travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, and enter Xiliangzhou.

But from the moment he decided to take 100,000 taels to dot Nie Ben, he had already selectively ignored this best way.

The brothers of the Quadruple Gang did not stand up to him Zhang Chu.

He Zhang Chu couldn't stand them.

Zhang Chu pondered for a long time, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Oh no, the food ...... Someone!"

Hearing the sound, the big bear trotted in: "Master Chu." ”

"Immediately send someone out to check all the grain stores in the city to see if they are open for business!"

"Yes, Master Chu!"

The mule wanted to understand Zhang Chu's intention to check the grain store, and his heart was shocked!

As the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first!

The Silian Gang wants to move south on a large scale, with 5,000 people and tens of thousands of family members, and people all the way eat and chew horses, and the food they need every day is an astronomical amount.

And Dali's grain, like salt and iron, is an official businessman.

If these grain stores restrict the purchase of grain, the grain level alone will be enough to make the Quadruple Gang trapped in the AllBright Mansion and unable to move.

A quarter of an hour later, Da Xiong gasped and returned to the lobby of the Silian Gang, and said urgently: "Master Chu, all the grain stores in the city have restricted the purchase of grain, and each person can only buy one pound of grain per day, as evidenced by the voucher issued by the grain store. ”

Zhang Chu's face changed suddenly.

He didn't expect the county government to move so fast!

"Master Chu, there is still a way to raise food!"

The mule spoke suddenly.

Zhang Chu raised his eyebrows: "Say!"

"As far as the subordinates know, in the Zhuang Town under the county seat, those landlords and old fortunes who have a lot of fields and a lot of work have the habit of storing grain, after all, it is inconvenient to buy grain in the countryside, so why don't we let the brothers of the district and county rudder come forward to buy grain from the hands of these landlords and old wealth?"

"That's a good idea!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

According to the Great Separation Law, grain can only be sold to grain stores, and grain can only be bought from grain stores, and direct grain transactions between people are not allowed.

But what is the Quadruple?

Gangs!

Are you afraid of fines? Are you afraid of confiscation?

Are you afraid of death?

"Immediately order the major rudders, this month's money, escort half to the general rudder, and the remaining half, buy food on the spot, buy as much as you want!"
