Chapter 43: Return to Monkey Mountain Village
"The horses have been prepared for a long time, and they are all kept in a ranch outside my city."
Zhou Xian said happily: "Then let's go and see the horse now." ”
Shen Chongshan saw that Zhou Xian was so anxious to see the horse, and he agreed without objection: "Okay then, let's set off." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the mansion with Zhou Xian and a few others.
Outside the mansion, he got into a carriage and drove out of the city.
In the carriage, Zhou Xian introduced Zhang Dabiao and Xiang Shaoyun to Shen Chongshan, and said that Xiang Shaoyun was his family's instructor, and Zhang Dabiao was his bodyguard.
Shen Chongshan was very surprised when he heard that Xiang Shaoyun was an instructor, you must know that generally only if you have thousands of families will you specially invite an instructor, it seems that this Lord Zhou has a lot of background.
After about an hour, everyone finally came to the pasture of Shenzhong Mountain.
This ranch is very large, with an area of dozens of acres, and there should be no problem with a few thousand horses.
Everyone got off the carriage and walked to the pasture, there were more than a dozen people here working to feed the horses, and when they saw Shen Chongshan coming, they gave him a salute, Shen Chongshan nodded to them and then took Zhou Xian and the three of them to the horse pen.
Looking at the various horses in the stall, Zhou Xian sighed a little, he had never seen so many horses.
Zhou Xian didn't understand horses, so he looked at Xiang Shaoyun, Xiang Shaoyun nodded at Zhou Xian when he saw Zhou Xian looking at him, it seems that these horses are not bad.
Zhou Xian said to Shen Chongshan with satisfaction: "This batch of horses is good, I want them all, I will call someone to come over and bring the silver together, and I will send someone to find you next time I need a horse." ”
Shen Chongshan heard Zhou Xian say that he wanted it all, and immediately said to Zhou Xian with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll arrange for them to feed the horses, and the next time Lord Zhou needs a horse, just notify me, and I promise to find you a horse immediately." ”
Next, Zhou Xian and the others looked at the horses for a while, and then went back directly.
When he came to his mansion, Zhou Xian arranged for Xiang Shaoyun to bring silver and a battalion of soldiers to drive horses.
Let Xiang Shaoyun drive the horse directly to Monkey Mountain Village, and Zhou Xian and the large army will join them on the road ahead.
The current Monkey Mountain Village is no longer the dilapidated village it used to be.
The current Monkey Mountain Village is planned to be very wide, with more houses than Datong City, and it is still being expanded.
The tall buildings of Monkey Mountain Village can be seen far away from Monkey Mountain Village, and because there will be more and more houses in Monkey Mountain Village in the future, Zhou Xian did not build a city wall.
Only a sentry post was built at a few intersections into Monkey Mountain Village to check on people coming and going to Monkey Mountain Village.
The roads and streets in Monkey Mountain Village have been built into cement roads, and the white cement roads are clean and tidy.
There will be a garbage can every two hundred meters, and there are special cleaners on duty throughout the day.
Three days later, Zhou Xian and the others finally returned to Monkey Mountain Village, and as soon as they arrived outside the village, there were many people who rushed to hear the news.
The people surrounded the convoy and talked to people they knew well.
Zhou Xian saw this scene and stepped down from the carriage.
Seeing Zhou Xian get out of the carriage, these people saluted Zhou Xian one after another, "Welcome home." ”
Zhou Xian nodded at these people and said, "Thank you for coming to greet us." ”
At this time, Daniel Zhang, Zhou Fugui, Zhang Changfeng, Zhang Jixiang and others also came to Zhou Xian, and after giving Zhou Xian a salute, they all greeted Zhou Xian.
Zhou Fugui asked with concern: "My lord, this trip went smoothly." ”
Zhou Xian nodded and said: "This trip is quite smooth, and the business matters have been negotiated, but I have been in the carriage for more than half a month, and I feel uncomfortable." ”
Zhou Fugui heard that the business was negotiated, and immediately said with a relaxed expression: "It's good that it goes well, the adults take the carriage to the capital so far, it must be a lot of work, the mansion in Monkey Mountain Village has been built, hurry back to the house and have a good rest." ”
Zhou Xian heard that his new mansion had been built, and he was immediately interested in going and seeing.
So he said to everyone: "This is not the place to talk, everyone should go to my new mansion to talk about anything." ”
Everyone nodded yes when they heard this.
Walking on the cement road of Monkey Mountain Village and looking at the brick houses on both sides, Zhou Xian had a feeling of returning to the eighties and nineties when he was a child.
While Zhou Xian was reminiscing about the past, everyone had already arrived at Zhou Xian's new mansion.
This is a small building in the style of a courtyard, and the plaque on the gate of the courtyard is written with two big characters of Zhou Mansion in gold paint.
Outside the courtyard, you can see that there are three buildings with one height and two lows, and the one facing the gate is the tall building, which is Zhou Xian's house, and the two lower buildings next to it are the guest rooms and the people who live.
Zhou Xian looked at his mansion with satisfaction, which was exactly the same as the drawings he drew for them.
Zhou Xian walked into the courtyard gate first, and came directly to his house, the main hall of the house is very wide and can accommodate dozens of people, which is also Zhou Xian's request, because it can be used for meetings in the future.
There was a large rectangular desk in the middle of the main hall, and Zhou Xian walked to the top of the desk and sat down.
Zhou Xian said to the people who followed: "Everyone sit down, if there is something to sit down and talk about." ”
Everyone looked at each other and sat down.
The people who came this time included Zhou Xian's four disciples, as well as Zhou Fugui, Daniel Zhang, Zhang Changfeng, Zhang Jixiang, Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhao Laoyan, Li San, Li Si and other eight people.
The others didn't come to pick up Zhou Xian because they were still busy.
Zhou Xian watched everyone sit down and introduced them to everyone: "They are the disciples I received in the capital, this is the eldest disciple of Xu Shouyi, the second disciple of Xu Qiang, the third disciple of Xu Xiaosong, and the fourth disciple of Xu Yun. ”
Xu Shouyi and the four of them stood up one after another and gave everyone a salute.
When everyone heard that Zhou Xian had accepted a disciple, they were surprised, and they also returned the salute.
Zhou Xian saw that they were so polite, so he said: "Okay, don't be so polite, you will have to work together every day in the future, you will be familiar with it after a long time, so you don't need to be so polite." ”
Zhou Fugui said: "Since they are the disciples of adults, how can we be lazy." ”
Zhou Xian waved his hand and said: "I don't like those false etiquette, everyone here is like a family, don't make too many messy etiquette." ”
Zhou Xian then continued to introduce the eight people present to the four disciples.
After the introduction, Zhou Xian said: "After sitting in the carriage for so long, I need to take a break, tomorrow Uncle Zhou will gather all the management personnel and go to the newly built Great Hall, and everyone will have a meeting together to report the progress and situation of various projects in Monkey Mountain Village." As for the four of them, Uncle Zhou arranged a place to live. ”
Zhou Fugui hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, now that we have built a lot of houses, we can arrange for many people to move in, I will arrange a good house for them, and I will inform everyone to have a meeting tomorrow when I am busy." ”
Then everyone said goodbye to Zhou Xian and went back, and Xu Shouyi and the four followed Zhou Fugui to find a house.
