Back at home, Wuwang presided over the dinner. The three of them measured a bucket of rice, Zhang Lu couldn't eat much, and Wuwang almost ate double portions. There was one more person, although there was not much to say, but it was also a little more lively, and the three of them had a lot of fun.

After cleaning up the dishes, Zheng Anping said to Wuwang that if he wants to go home to rest, he can go home, and he doesn't have to take his things away, and he will come back tomorrow. Wuwang thought about it, but he was still a little homesick, so he really went home. Zheng Anping and Zhang Lu saw that Wuwang was a simple person with no heart, and they both showed a relieved smile.

At night, Zheng Anping still chatted with Zhang Lu as usual, discussing the relationship with Xinlingjun and Mangfu, discussing how to govern Guanyi, whether to develop Guanyi quickly, or to push it forward, or simply to get up. Zhang Lu did not have a clear opinion, and advocated impromptu response; And Zheng Anping has no feeling for the impromptu response, and always wants to find some certainty. In the end, the consensus was that the governance of Guanyi was under the trust of Lingjun, who was actually Cao Bao's, and his own development in Guanyi could be more positive.

After getting this certainty, Zheng Anping went back to his room and went to sleep. He was thinking about how to use everything in Guanyi to make a fortune for himself, but he didn't sleep much all night.

When the rooster crowed, Zheng Anping heard the door ringing, and it turned out that Wuwang was back. When Wuwang came back, he was still carrying a rake, Zheng Anping said: "Why use the Wu family's rake?" ”

Wuwang said: "When I was at home, my father and I placed the plowing and shocho. After returning to Zheng's father, his father said that Zheng's father may have it. However, I didn't see it. ”

Zheng Anping said: "Since you have recovered your body, you should be with you." My family originally had, but when I was buried with Brother Ma, I abandoned it in the wasteland. ”

Wuwang said: "Why abandon it? Is it bad luck after the funeral? ”

Zheng Anping said: "That day, I dug a hole with Brother Ma, and suddenly saw the Qin people hiding behind the mountain. If you go back and forth, you will not know where you go, and you will be covered by others. ”

Wuwang said: "Where is Zheng's father, Wuwang will look for it." ”

Zheng Anping said: "But it doesn't have to. He used wood and stone for it, and it didn't hurt to abandon it. I will soon set up iron tools for you, and you will do it well. ”

Wuwang said: "Thank you Father Zheng!" If you get its iron, it will save more effort in farming! One person gets one hundred and fifty acres, and it will not be hard work. "

Zheng Anping saw that Wuwang was born with a love of farming, and he was also very satisfied. He asked Wuwang to clean the courtyard and pull out some weeds in front of and behind the house. Wait until dawn before making breakfast. I didn't want to go back to sleep anymore, so I practiced spear halberd in the courtyard a few times, sweating all over my body, and I was refreshed.

After breakfast, Zheng Anping took Wuwang with the money, went out into the city to buy gifts, and went to meet four colleagues. He was surprised to find that Brother Su had also regained someone, his younger brother, fifteen years old this year, just at the time of the book club. In addition to congratulating Zheng Anping, everyone also gave gifts in return.

Cao Bao told Zheng Anping that after the moonlight, Wei Ting would recruit 500 men to repair Nanguan, and all materials had begun to be mobilized; Xin Lingjun transferred a hundred people from it to build a residence for the four of them, and Mr. Lu had already gotten up and headed for Guanyi. This reminded Zheng Anping that he was fine anyway, or he would go to Guanyi to run around and buy some private goods; Even if it's to take care of the wasteland in advance.

He asked Cao Bao, where are the better iron tools, Cao Bao said, if you talk about iron soldiers, Zheng Cheng is naturally the first; But if you talk about iron farming tools, there is an iron shop in Xingyang City, which often makes up farm tools for people, and there should be good iron; Although there are iron shops in the city of Daliang, the iron is not good, and the handwork is also inferior, so it is best not to make it in Daliang. Zheng Anping thanked him.

When he returned home, Zheng Anping told Zhang Lu that Mr. Lu had set off for Nanguan to build various residences, and he wanted to go to Guanyi. Zhang Lu said that there are only ten days left anyway, and now I have to come back, and there is a lot of delay on the road; It's better to go back in three or five days, and you don't have to come back. Zheng Anping calculated, and it made sense, just took Wuwang to his own field to clean up every day. I also felt that it was a bit far away to go to Xingyang to make ironware, and it was inconvenient to pick it up again, so I dragged it down.

After another five days, Zheng Anping asked the chief to help the ox cart, prepared ten stone of grain, carried clothes and armor and weapons, carried money on his back, and came all the way to Guanyi to take office.

Relying on the festival of Guanyi, Zheng Anping gave free food and lodging all the way to each post station, and walked for three days before arriving at Guanyi.

When he arrived at Guanyi, the city lord took it out, arranged a lodging place in the city lord's mansion, moved in ten stone grain, as well as clothes and armor, gave the maid money, and let the lieutenant drive back.

When everything was arranged, Zheng Anping and the city lord gossiped in the lobby. Zheng Anping said that because the lawsuit was not prepared, he was afraid that he would have to disturb the city lord for several months. The lord of the castle thanked him. Zheng Anping asked if the construction of the lawsuit had begun, and the city lord replied that he could already see people carrying supplies here. Zheng Anping said that if he wanted to go to the old city to see, the city lord did not have to accompany him.

Then talking about the future government affairs, Zheng Anping said: "Last moon and moonlight, I sacrificed with the city lord, and it is unforgettable." The moon is bright this month, and there may be celebrations in Guiyi, and I should rejoice with the people. May the city bishop me. “

The city lord said: "When the doctor asks, he has to tell him." The fifteenth day of the first month is the day of the sacrifice of Guan Zhong and Uncle Guan in Wuyi. Uncle Guan, the beginning of the management family; The person in charge is the ancestor of the businessman of the Guan family. It is sacrificed on the fifteenth day of the first month, the full moon. “

Zheng Anping said: "Very good! I am the ruler, although I advise farmers to work on the fields, but also pay attention to business. Or if you have a small book, you want to share it with one or two people in Guiyi, what can it be? “

The city lord said: "How difficult, how difficult! But if there is convenience, the doctor can get into it, or get its benefits, and dividends according to the rules, isn't it a double benefit! “

Zheng Anping said: "Dare to ask Guiyi, what can the businessmen do? “

The lord of the city said: "If you talk about the city, the merchants are just against the ears, and all the merchants from all over the world are willing to rest in Xiaoyi, or for one or two days, or four or five days, and return when the matter is over." However, those who have succeeded in the business of Wuyi are all operating in the metropolis, calling friends, bringing wives and children, and seeing that the world has been in the palm of their hands. “

Zheng Anping said: "Who is the worst business in Guiyi? Where is it now? Can you get it? “

The city lord said: "If you talk about giant merchants, we once had a family, and the former doctor lived there. His family is all over the world, and the one who stays in charge is only the old and the young. Its young Danshu Society, that is, should stay away. Although his family is small, there are many giant businessmen who seek accommodation. “

Zheng Anping said: "His old man is also a huge businessman? “

The city lord said: "Definitely. The giant merchant is his son. Or hear that his son Guan Zhongming assisted Luoyang Lu's family, which is quite useful. “

Zheng Anping said: "Luoyang Lu clan? The giant of the world? “

The city lord said: "The so-called giants in this world have the Hedong Wang clan and the salt; Bashan Qingshi, Ye Dansha; Guo, Kong, Zhuo and Cao Bing, Ye Tie; These are all excellent in the industry. Taoyi Tao, Luoyang Lu, Chencheng Chen, Lu Duanmu, Wei Bai, this has been a businessman, deep-rooted, and regards the world as a palm. “

Zheng Anping said: "The Lu family, the world businessmen, and the Guan family, can also dominate the world." “

The city lord said: "His intentions are also very great, and his strength is also very strong. It's all out of the ordinary. “

Zheng Anping said: "Its Qing family, Wang family, Guo family, etc., are quite auxiliary in the city? “

The city lord said: "There may be one or two auxiliaries, but they are not as good as the guarantor, and they are not as powerful as Guan Zhongming." “

Zheng Anping said: "When you meet a year old, will you return home?" “

The city lord said: "The businessman has the most important foundation, and he will not return!" On the fifteenth, the ancestors are sacrificed, or the current list! “

Zheng Anping said: "Can you get it and say goodbye?" “

The city lord said: "The merchant villain, the doctor can call in, what can he do!" “

Zheng Anping said: "How can you respect the way of the virtuous! “

The city lord said: "Doctor, wait a while, and call for a while." “

Zheng Anping said: "But the Zheng family worships!" And his father and son, the former inheritance, five inner feelings! “

The city lord said: "Doctor, wait for it!" After saying that, he went out the door. When I was young, the grandfather and grandson, the owner of the reverse brigade where I lived a few days ago, accompanied a middle-aged man in a hurry. When he entered the door, he knelt down at the bottom of the stairs and said: "I don't know the doctor's call, the salute is late, the doctor forgives the sins!" “

Zheng Anping stood up, went down the steps, helped the old man and said: "The former is a residence, and he should be thankful for his kindness!" “

He picked up the young man again and said, "Dare to be Guan Zhongminghu?" “

Guan Zhongming bowed down and replied: "The name of the humble has to be heard by the doctor, how fortunate is it!" “

Zheng Anping picked up the child again and said, "How old is the boy?" “

Guan Zhongming said: "The youngest son is only ten years old, and he is very ignorant, so the doctor forgives him!" “

Zheng Anping said: "It's polite and thoughtful, and it can be edified!" The cold hustle and bustle was over, Zheng Anping said directly: "I was in charge of the order at the beginning, and if there is something unclear, I dare to consult my father, and I wish not to abandon it!" “

Guan Zhongming said: "Doctor Cheng asked, and dared to answer without knowing as much as he knew. However, if you see a little knowledge, I am afraid it is difficult to meet the meaning of a gentleman! He was going to blow his little son away, Zheng Anping called Wuwang and asked him to take the child to play, and the city lord also took out a preserved fruit and gave it to them to eat.

The four of them went to the hall, Zheng Anping sat in the middle, the city lord lived in the east, and Guan Zhongming's father and son lived in the west. The eldest son of the lord of the castle offered preserved fruit and sake and withdrew.

Zheng Anping said: "The place where Guan Yi lives is also in the world, but he is not rich or rich, Zhong Ming will have something to teach me!" “

Guan Zhongming said: "The husband is rich and rich, and he must be protected." The so-called deep and solid, long-term and long-standing. Guanyi is in the world, non-Wei and non-Han, if there is something, he will shirk, if it is advantageous, he will fight, it is still difficult to survive, how can he be rich and rich! The doctor's approach is not the same, to protect the people, to get the peace of the party, and to be rich and prosperous for a long time. “

Zheng Anping said: "Zhong Ming's words are sincere to my heart. However, those who I am confused by, there are only 100 people in Guanyi, self-protection and flawlessness, and not heart-to-heart, if you want to ensure the peace of one party, Zhongming must have a strategy! “

Guan Zhongming said: "My business is also, and I will live in the post and cover its guard." Or its reverse journey is circulating, it is a reverse journey, and it will be useful. Not according to the inn, or entrusted by thieves, or difficult to resist their invasion, are not chosen. Among the people in the world, there are many adverse travelers in the city, but there are few who have to welcome the giant businessmen. Who, there is no lawsuit to think that it is also defended. “
