Zhang Chu was delayed for two days in Taibai Mansion, just in time to have a round with the mule who led the Honghuatang brigade back to Shang.

It just so happened that Wu Qianyuan had a big surprise for him......

Under the sun, the dog head mountain is covered in red and hung with colors, and the black and slippery crowds are crowded from the halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Mountains full of flags.

Mountains full of gongs and drums.

A mountain full of relatives and friends.

In the boiling cheers, Zhang Chu led a large group of people to go up immediately.

He noticed that many of his brothers and sisters were vigorously patting their dusty clothes and scratching at their messy hair.

And many of the brothers had a mist in their eyes.

Zhang Chu wanted to laugh at them for being unproductive, but he didn't pay attention, but his vision was a little blurred.

At this moment, the blood and sweat shed outside are worth it.

At this moment, the exhaustion of the heart and body was left outside the mountain.

I wait, I am willing to fight for my Beiping League for another ten years!

Zhang Chu also prepared a big surprise for Wu Qianyuan......

When Da Liu Li helped the old doctor Hua Zhongjing to get out of the carriage, Wu Qianyuan, who was standing outside the town gate to greet them in triumph, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood why Zhang Chu rushed into Shangyuan County so recklessly before, which was not like his style at all......

It turned out that he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

Zhang Chu ignored the wry smile on Wu Qianyuan's face, he personally helped the old doctor to walk in front of Wu Qianyuan, and said with a light smile: "Doctor Hua, this white-headed guy will have to worry more about you in the future, you just have to think of treating him, you tell me what medicinal materials are missing, I want to get it, if this guy doesn't follow the doctor's instructions, you also tell me, I will let him cooperate with you in a down-to-earth manner." ”

Wu Qianyuan's face became more and more sad.

Hua Zhongjing, the old doctor with white beard, white hair and white clothes, holding a cane like a master in the world, looked at Wu Qianyuan's face, and nodded cautiously: "The old man does his best." ”

Zhang Chu turned around, waved his hand at the thousands of Honghuatang brothers behind him, and said loudly: "When I get home, a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, you can eat and make it hard, our family is not short of money!"

"Oh~"

The cheers shook the sky: "The gang leader is mighty!"

......

Little Bie is newlywed.

The dim light of the oil lamp fell on the panting young couple.

Zhiqiu stuck to his man's chest, so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting.

Every night when he was not at home, she couldn't sleep well, and she always woke up inexplicably as soon as she closed her eyes......

She called softly, "Master." ”

Zhang Chu rested his chin on the top of her head, and lazily squirted a voice from his nasal cavity: "Huh?"

Zhiqiu had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he opened his mouth a few times but didn't know what to say, and finally condensed a thousand words into a small voice: "Half a year...... You're not going out, are you?"

Zhang Chu could feel her caution, lest she commit any taboos.

He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he simply tapped the top of her head with his chin and said with a smile: "If you don't want me to go far away, just say it, I'm afraid of something." ”

Zhiqiu raised his face and looked at him very seriously, his dark eyes reflected the light: "The mule mother said that men have to go out to do things, women can't stay, and if you stay, something will happen." ”

Zhang Chu pressed her head down, snorted, and said, "Superstition!"

Being scolded by him so painlessly, Zhiqiu's heart was steady, and he listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and his eyes became more and more blurred.

Zhang Chu honestly thought about it for a while, and said, "At the end of this month, I may have to go to Xuanling County...... Just go and do something, don't use knives and guns. ”

"It's over, and it should be safe for a while. ”

"By the way, there are two things you have to do these days. ”

"The first thing is the matter of the mule getting married, this time I went to Shangyuan County to delay his marriage, you Ming'er went to find a gentleman to pick a good day, to be close, you can't wait too long, send someone to inform the woman's parents when it's over, his mother has no idea, this matter can only be done by your sister-in-law, well, the mule has been running around with me for most of the year, and there is no time to talk about love with his daughter-in-law, we have to compensate him well and give him a beautiful affair. ”

"The second thing is the matter of Boss Wu, that guy...... Hey, in short, you have to hurry up and find him a few mothers-in-law, well, find a few more, even if you spend money to buy it, as long as you are clean and look good, just stuff him in the house, don't care what he says, anyway, let him stay as soon as possible...... Are you listening to me?"

As soon as Zhang Chu lowered his head, he found that Zhiqiu had fallen asleep, and his even breathing had a slight snoring sound.

He smiled, put his arms around her head and slowly closed his eyes.

......

The next day, the 30,000 troops promised to Zhang Chu by the state government arrived in Taiping Town together with the official official document that Taiping Town was upgraded to Taiping Pass.

Zhang Chu took Lao Niu, the former chief architect of the Taiping Society, to wander around Gotou Mountain for a short time, and finally decided to build a military camp at the foot of Gotou Mountain, as well as permanent fortifications.

The permanent fortifications he planned were borrowed from the Great Wall, with strong walls and arrow towers forming a defensive circle, with a total length of five miles, six lengths and three feet wide, and it was expected to mobilize 20,000 laborers and the construction period was ten months.

The Beiping League is not an official government and is not qualified to perform forced labor.

Such a big project costs money.

Lots and lots of money!

If you want to take it out all at once, you have to pack Zhang Chu and Wu Qianyuan together and sell them, and they can't take them out.

But if you pay for the project on a monthly basis, the Beiping League can support it!

In the past, the Taiping Society only occupied one place in Beiyin County, and its net income was more than 100,000 taels per month.

And now the Beiping League, under its command, has the land of four counties in Xuanbei Prefecture, plus two counties in Xiliang and two counties in Yanbei Prefecture, a total of eight counties, just one state!

Roughly calculated, the monthly income of the Beiping League is also about one million!

And the real number will only be more, not less!

Because of the size of the Beiping League, there is no need for the brothers below to go out with knives to grab business.

There will be a lot of people, crying, shouting, chasing and chasing, begging the Beiping League to do business with them......

What's more important is that the former Taiping Society also had to pay tribute to Taibai Mansion.

Who else does the current Beiping League need to pay tribute to?

To the state capital?

Yan Shouclumsy is afraid that he will not dare to take this hot potato!

To put it mildly, with the size of the Beiping League, if there is any major flood or drought, Zhang Chu can uncover the rod and sweep the three states in the northwest of Yan as long as he pulls his brain! !

Of course, Zhang Chu doesn't know how to brainstorm!

But this kind of thing never depends on whether you want it or not, only whether you can or not!

Yan Shouzhuo, as a feudal official, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and he needs to earn this kind of money?

Is it true that the 30,000 troops sent by the state government are here to protect Zhang Chu?

And the reason why Zhang Chu built a large number of buildings, and did not hesitate to invest most of the income of the Beiping League in the next ten months to build this permanent fortification, was not because he was full of food and support, nor was he so hungry that he burned in a panic.

After a lot of consideration, he made the decision.

In this era, because of the frequent bandits and bandits, as well as the defense of the enemy in war, all the cities were built with high and thick walls to protect the common people in the city.

The height and thickness of the city wall are often used as an important reference standard for evaluating the size of a city.

For example, when the Taiping Society built Taiping Town, it was the first city wall to be built.

And this fortification planned by Zhang Chu will surround the entire Kotou Mountain after it is completed!

In other words, when this defensive ring is completed, houses can be built everywhere on Kotou Mountain!

What is it?

A huge mountain town!

When Zhang Chu built Taiping Town, it was just to accommodate the more than 20,000 Silian Gang families he moved out of Jintianfu, and later it was expanded because he had to accept the 15,000 people who moved from the current Wuqianyuan, but because of the terrain restrictions on the mountainside, no matter how much it expanded, it would be so big.

Later, the Taiping Society dominated Beiyin County, and a large number of people poured into Taiping Town, which was originally a little spacious, and slowly became cramped.

The crowds that enter and leave the town every day have to line up until dark!

And now that the Taiping Society has been promoted to the Beiping League, which dominates the rivers and lakes of Yizhou, Taiping Town has naturally become another economic center outside the capital of Xuanbei Prefecture.

At that time, the flow of people and logistics in Taiping Town will only be multiplied several times!

Therefore, it is imperative for Taiping Town to expand into "Taiping City"!

Of course, the manpower and material resources invested by Zhang Chu are not all gone......

Here I have to focus on his identity in his previous life...... I, Zhang Chu, the son of Fang Kai!

......

The third day of Zhang Chu's return to Taiping Town.

Xie Junxing, Xie Xiaoqing, father and son, Shi Yihao, Shi Yitian, and Shi Yilong, the three brothers who stayed in Xuanbei Prefecture and never returned to Xiliang Prefecture and Yanbei Prefecture, joined forces in Taiping Town.

Together with Zhang Chu and Wu Qianyuan, the five of them held the first high-level meeting of the Beiping League.

The high-level positions of the Beiping League had been discussed before the Samurai Lou and the Shi clan decided to join the Beiping League.

Zhang Chu served as the leader of the Beiping League.

Wu Qianyuan served as the division of the Beiping Allied Army...... The official title is the Great Protector.

Xie Junxing served as the Great Elder of the Beiping League.

Shi Yilong served as the second elder of the Beiping League.

And this meeting, to discuss the mode of joining.

After a full day of cutting and gambling.

In the end, Xie Junxing decided to completely merge the Wushi Building into the Beiping League, and the elite men and horses of the Wushi Building were divided into two, half of them were sent back to the chief helmsman of Goutou Mountain, and the other half was left in the Xiliangzhou Branch, and Xie Junxing himself sat in the Xiliang Branch Hall first, helping Xie Xiaoqing, the helmsman of the Xiliang Branch, to stabilize the situation, and after Xie Xiaoqing was promoted to the seventh rank, he returned to the helmsman to take charge of the rewards and punishments of the Beiping League.

And Shi's, because Shi's is a local powerhouse, with deep roots and many branches, Zhang Chu and Shi Yihao tried many methods, but they could not balance the interests of all parties, and finally had no choice but to retreat to the second, Shi took a comprehensive cooperation with the Beiping League and joined the Beiping League.

All the territory of the Shi family, the Beiping League can be settled, and all the business of Shi Shi can also be handed over to the Beiping League and the Shi family to jointly operate, in exchange, Shi Yitian will serve as the head of the Yanbeizhou branch of the Beiping League, and Shi Yihao will sit at the helm of the dog head mountain in the future, and take charge of the Beiping League rules.

It looks like Zhang Chu has taken a big advantage, doesn't it?

The empty glove white wolf has eaten the business of the two major forces of Xiliang Wushilou and Shi Clan for generations, and has made the power of the Beiping League swell several times like a snowball.

But in this world, how can there be a pie in the sky?

The core of the exchange of interests between the Beiping League, the Samurai Building, and the Shi clan is actually not in the territory or business.

It's about Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao sitting at the helm of Goutou Mountain!

The helm of Goutou Mountain, after all, is Zhang Chu's territory, even if Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao have become the elders of the Beiping League, staying in Goutou Mountain will definitely not be as good as staying in their own lair!

The emperor is far away, and they say it.

No matter how long Zhang Chu's hand is extended, he can only direct them in some major decisions, and the rest of the affairs are not up to them?

Then why did they leave their sons and brothers in the clan in a daze, and come to Goutou Mountain to send people under the fence?

Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao are both four-grade heroes!

It's all the pinnacle of the four grades!

At their level, the worldly glory and wealth have long been meaningless, because they are easy to obtain!

Just like Xie Junxing, even if he leaves the Samurai Building, as long as he wants, no matter where he goes, he can easily pull the lever to pull out a large number of people, plunder a large number of businesses, and spend a few years of hard work to adjust, which is definitely not much worse than his Samurai Building.

If you are not afraid of constraints and devote yourself to officialdom, you will be able to win a black yarn hat of the third grade in an instant!

But herein lies the problem!

Xie Junxing wants to dominate one county and two counties, it is very easy.

But if he wants to dominate a state, he will have a lot of difficulties, and if he is not careful, he will lose his life...... The previous Uehara County Killing Game is the best example!

If he joins the officialdom, it is very easy to mix a black gauze hat with three products.

But if he wants to get a black gauze hat like Yan Shouzhuo, who is in charge of the military and political power of a state, it will also be extremely difficult!

Whether it is the rivers and lakes or the court, the real masters are the flying masters who are high above.

They won't allow an outsider to take a share of their luck!

A little bit for outsiders, a little less for them.

Even if they don't need it themselves, there are still many juniors lined up at the low!

Previously, Xuanbei Prefecture had rotted to that point, and the grandmasters of Xuanbei Prefecture would rather support a little guy like Zhang Chu who had just been promoted to the sixth grade, rather than accept the fourth-grade tycoons from other states to enter Xuanbei Prefecture.

Shi Yilong is the same.

He also had no way to enter Yanbei Prefecture, so he would lead his brothers in the clan into Shangyuan County, and be a-stirring stick desperately to stir up the situation and win that opportunity to advance.

And the reason why they will cooperate with the Beiping League, instead of cooperating with the Tianxing Alliance and the Wusheng Palace, is only because the Beiping League has few Qi and Sea Realms, and as soon as they enter the Beiping League, they can get a high position, and they don't have to rank with other four-grade giants.

Xie Junxing and Shi Yilong's abacus, Zhang Chu knew it.

But he knew that there was nothing he could do.

This condition was the starting point for the Samurai House and the Shi clan to join the Beiping League.

If he refuses this condition, or restricts Xie Junxing and Shi Yilong on this condition, then today's meeting will not be opened, and Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao will immediately turn their faces!

The Beiping League really needs the help of the Wushi Building and the Shi Clan now, and Zhang Chu can't turn his face with them!

Beiping League swallowed the Xuanbei rivers and lakes in one bite, and he was really in a hurry.

According to Zhang Chu's original plan, this move will not be considered until he is at least a five-grade master and sees the four-grade road.

He can't help it, Wu Qianyuan can't wait that long!

Although he succeeded narrowly in the end.

But success doesn't mean sitting back and relaxing.

Xuanbei Jianghu is a big piece of pork belly that everyone wants to eat.

It's dangerous to grab this piece of pork belly.

Eating this piece of pork belly in one go is still very dangerous.

If it is not handled well, he will be held to death!

Zhang Chu needs time.

He made a deal with the state to buy himself time.

Today's meeting is also to buy time for himself.

Using the luck of Xuanbei Jianghu, which he can't use for the time being, in exchange for Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao, two four-grade masters, to escort the Beiping League, this is a deal in itself.

However, Zhang Chu was not too worried that Xie Junxing and Shi Yihao would turn their heads and suppress him after they flew into the sky.

If these two people fly in Xuanbei Prefecture, then they can be regarded as people from Xuanbei Jianghu.

When the time comes, Fourth Master Feng and they, the Xuanbei Flying Heavenly Grandmasters, will naturally come forward to uphold justice......

Even if the fourth master of Feng and them don't help him uphold justice, what he wants to do at that time is almost done, and it is not a big deal not to want this alliance leader.

Moreover, Zhang Chu is not without a backhand to balance these two people!

......

The first high-level plenary meeting of the Beiping League also adopted the organizational structure of the Beiping League.

From now on, there will be three major halls under the Beiping League: Xuanbei Hall, Xiliang Hall, and Yanbei Hall, one to suppress one state!

Under the three halls, there are eight rudders: spring, summer, autumn, winter, cloudy, sunny, rain, snow, one rudder is in charge of a county!

In addition, there are four parts inside all the rudders of Tangkou: safflower, green leaves, thick soil, and three rivers!

A token seal letter should be held on the eighth day of April on the Taipingguan Martial Arts Conference, and then be awarded.
