Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji escorted all the people all the way, out of Shixi Village, looking at Linjiang City, these hundreds of villagers are in uneven physical condition, although Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji occasionally help the people get some things, but they are still very slow, and they have been walking for ten days, only half the way. Fortunately, when traveling on the road, Feng Yi's "Eagle Eye" organization had already heard about the relocation of the villagers led by Chu Zhongli, and sent some people to help transport them, and finally within a week, all the villagers arrived in Linjiang City. When he was resting along the way, Ji Qingji instructed Chu Zhongli on some things about martial arts, Chu Zhongli made very fast progress, plus the previous battle with Ji Qingji, his understanding of martial arts has been enhanced, and if the level of cultivation is calculated according to secular standards, it has reached the ninth stage of condensation, and it has reached the threshold of breaking through the condensation period and coming to the concentration period.

After arriving in Linjiang City, Chu Zhongli instructed Cai Tai to set aside a residential area in the city, called Shixi District, for the villagers of this village to live in, and allocate money from the treasury, five taels of silver per person. Cai Tai agreed to do it.

Chu Zhongli summoned everyone to the government affairs hall for a meeting, Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji sat on the government affairs hall, Chu Zhongli asked Ji Qingji to take a seat, and he sat down, Ji Qingji knew that Chu Zhongli treated each other warmly, not to mention that he should not shirk his own identity, so he sat down.

After a while, the waning moon came, and when he entered the door and saw Ji Qingji, he rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, and with an oops, he turned around and ran. Chu Zhongli ran over and grabbed Wanyue's wrist, Wanyue's face turned pale, and he begged Chu Zhongli: "Master, spare me, I don't dare to fight him, he can knock me down with one finger." ”

Chu Zhongli laughed and said, "This is the guest I invited, just sit next to me." So he pulled the wanyue over and sat down on his head. Wanyue secretly looked at Ji Qingji with her eyes from time to time, but she didn't dare to look at his eyes.

After a while, Lu Chongxi came in, saw Ji Qingji and Chu Zhongli sitting together, and said with a smile: "It seems that the lord and Prince Wu have made peace, congratulations, congratulations!" The three exchanged a few words, and after a while, Xu Yuan, Zhang Feizi, and Feng Yi also arrived one after another. Ji Qingji apologized to everyone who was beaten before, Chu Zhongli told everyone what happened, from the day he was chased out of Linjiang City to the assassination by Ji Guang to Ji Qingji became a brother with a different surname, everyone was surprised, the two of them were able to fight from the beginning to turn enemies into friends within a few days, but there are many people in this world, and these two have the same enemy, so after being surprised, everyone figured it out.

After a while, Cai Tai came in to report that there were about 600 people in total, and all the silver in the library was only 2,000 taels, so there was still a difference of 1,000 taels, so could it be changed to 3 taels of silver per person. After hearing this, Chu Zhongli thought to himself, Oops, terrible, I am still too careless in some aspects, in Shixi Village, the pride and ambition in my heart swelled, and with a wave of my hand, I said that it was five taels per person, and I forgot how much money I had in the treasury. But if it is temporarily changed to three taels, it will not work, people do not stand without faith, now it is the time to establish prestige for the people, they now believe in themselves very much, as a result, they changed five taels of silver to three taels, although the silver is also given, but their prestige will undoubtedly be discounted with this discount.

Chu Zhongli said to Cai Tai: "Then Lao Cai, didn't I divide the money for myself a few days ago with five hundred taels, I haven't spent it yet, you can go with me to get it after a while." Another five hundred taels, just ......" Chu Zhongli said this, looked at everyone, and it meant that which hero could stand up and take the five hundred taels of silver.

Ji Qingji said: "I only have forty or fifty taels of silver here, and if my brother wants five hundred taels, I know the location of some of the rich people in Wu State, and I can borrow it, and it is estimated that I will come back in one day and one night." ”

Chu Zhongli shook his hand and said: "Brother is a guest for a long time, how can there be a reason to work as a brother." ”

Wanyue looked at Chu Zhongli a little embarrassed, looked sideways at Chu Zhongli, and said with a smile: "Master, I don't have any tweeds for the five hundred taels, so let's take them out and distribute them to those people." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "Really, that's great! I will definitely pay you back twice in the future!"

Wanyue smiled: "You don't have to pay it back, what are we polite to the master and apprentice, I ...... When I was crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, I saw many five hundred taels. This can be regarded as a wish I give to the people. ”

Chu Zhongli heard Wanyue say this, and he was very grateful in his heart, thinking that he would definitely repay Wanyue next time he had the opportunity. So they took Cai Tai to two places, and took a thousand taels, and three thousand taels of silver in the treasury, and gave one to the people.

Chu Zhongli smiled: "Yes, this time there is no point." ”

Xu Yuan walked up to Chu Zhongli and said: "Lord, I heard what you just said, you killed the five-clawed dragon with Prince Wu this time, and the five-clawed dragon is a great enemy of the clumsy, why don't you come with me to have two drinks together, and then tell her about it, she must be very happy." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "That's what I said. So everyone went to Xu Yuan's house together, Xu Yuan had been promoted from the captain of the guard to the guard of Linjiang City at this time, his home was still relatively spacious and magnificent, everyone entered the living room, and everyone looked at the seat, Chu Zhongli still let Ji Qingji sit on the throne, followed by himself. Xu Yuan called Fang Rou out, Fang Rou is now married to a wife, her outfit has changed from simple to bright, wearing a silk Luo, slightly fat powder, compared to the original image of a country girl with no makeup, she is much better looking now.

Xu Yuan told Fang Rou that Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji had killed the five-clawed dragon, and Fang Rou's eyes turned red after hearing this, and she said: "Chu Hou Daen, little girl ......"

Chu Zhongli hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Are you going to kneel again, let me tell you, this can't be done, I call Xu Yuan brother in private, then you can be regarded as my sister-in-law, how can there be any reason to let you kneel?"

Fang Rou nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan said: "The lord is thin-skinned, you have kowtowed to him several times before, this time just listen to the lord's words, don't kowtow." Then he said to Fang Rou in the direction of Ji Qingji: "This is Prince Wu, and the five-clawed dragon was killed by him, you go and thank him." "I thought, this person's status is so high, even if he doesn't help you, there's no problem with you bowing to him.

Fang Rou wanted to kneel down to Ji Qingji again, but Ji Qingji also refused to accept it, and said, "You really want to thank me, just get a few jars of wine for me to eat." ”

Xu Yuan said: "Go quickly, ask the servants to take out all the best wine from our family, if it is not enough, ask someone to buy it!"

Fang Rou smiled: "Okay, I'll ask someone to get it, I have to tell my father the good news, and I will definitely accompany you later." ”

After Fang Rou went, he called the servants to come over and clean up and prepare for the banquet, Feng Yi immediately stood up and said, "I'll go and help too." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "No, you sit down, you know what your identity is now." ”

Feng Yi listened to Chu Zhongli's words, quickly sat down, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

After a while, the servant came and set up a table, and the people sat around it. Xu Yuan said with a smile: "I'm telling the cook to cook, let's focus on wine and meat today, and add some vegetarian and cold dishes, if the dishes are rough, don't laugh." ”

Chu Zhongli said with a smile: "Hey, Xu Yuan, you are quite wide now, and the servants and cooks are all ready." ”

Zhang Feizi leaned up and said: "That's not it, the ironworks in Linjiang City belong to his family, and now, he is nicknamed 'Xu Datie', can it not be wide? His family's food is delicious, and I often go to his house to eat!"

Wanyue said: "Then you still have a farm, you should be very wide." ”

Zhang Feizi said: "Me...... Half of the farm had to be responsible for providing food to the city, and the other half could not be moved, and the other half, on a whim, I gave it away, this one gave five acres, that one gave ten acres, and sent a lot, and I still planted herbs myself. Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said to Wanyue: "I'll go to your place to eat grilled fish when I'm free." ”

Wanyue smiled: "Okay, but you have to bring your own firewood next time, don't burn all the planks of the boat without firewood like last time." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, thinking that this fat man was really interesting. Wanyue said: "The harvest of the fish market is not small, and if you give it to the brothers, you can have some leftovers." In the future, if anyone can't turn around, just borrow it from me, we are friends, and we don't need an IOU. Feng Yi, how much money do you have now?"

Feng Yi said with a smile: "I don't have any money, Hawkeye relies on the lord's appropriation, and it is my honor to do things for the lord, so why do I need any money." ”

Lu Chongxi said: "Feng Yi's words won my heart, like Lu Mou, he doesn't have much money, but as long as I see that the lord is okay and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, I will be satisfied." ”

Feng Yi stood up and said, "Thank you, Master, for your approval." "As mentioned earlier, Feng Yi has now worshiped Lu Chongxi as his teacher, and Chu Zhongli wants to promote Feng Yi, and Feng Yi's culture and martial arts must be passable. Therefore, Chu Zhongli asked Feng Yi to worship Lu Chongxi as a teacher, so that he could learn some culture and martial arts from him, and also increase Lu Chongxi's sense of belonging.

Chu Zhongli nodded, thinking that what they said was probably kind words, even if they really thought so, I couldn't treat them badly, so he said to Feng Yi and Lu Chongxi: "When I first entered Linjiang City, there was a division of land, and those few were either old brothers or meritorious workers, so there is land to divide, and now there is some family property, and the two of them have made great contributions in the future, I will not be stingy, you can rest assured." At the same time, I thought to myself, the real richest person in our team is not at this table now.

Feng Yi and Lu Chongxi thanked them when they heard this. After a while, the servant brought all the wine, meat, and vegetables, and Fang Rou also came over to stand aside to accompany him.
