lady, please calm down

Chapter 11 Out of the City
After getting the money, Chen Chu led Yang Zhen and others to start a big purchase.

First bought more than 400 catties of grain, plus the [-] catties bought by Yang Zhen with leather money, there are more than [-] catties of grain, enough to eat for a while.

Then Chen Chu bought another piece of pork, a milking ewe and a lamb.

"Brother Chu, why are you buying ewes?"

Facing Yao's eldest son's question, Chen Chu said, "Hutou is young, so I will get her some goat's milk every day to grow her body."

The cat on the side couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words.

It was the first time she laughed since the day of Waking of Insects, but unfortunately Chen Chu didn't see it.

Afterwards, they followed Chen Chu to the cloth shop and watched him buy three bolts of cloth in one go.

Such a way of spending money made everyone gasp, and Mao'er was so distressed that he died.

But Chen Chu was still not finished, and went into another bookstore.

Based on Yang Zhen's dictation alone, the contemporary information he could understand was not systematic enough, so he wanted to find a set of history books to read.

But he didn't know the ancient practice of not compiling history, and in the end he only found a dictionary-like "Guang Yun" and several "Records of Emperor Taizu" and "Records of Emperor Sejong".

This kind of "records" similar to celebrity biographies was actually written by several emperors after the Zhou Dynasty for their ancestors, and they spent a lot of space praising their merits.

The authenticity is unknown.

Next door to the bookstore was an ink studio, and Chen Chu went in again to buy a knife of rice paper.

The others waited outside the door and said they would not go in
The Zhou Dynasty, which had developed imperial examinations, ruled this place for more than 100 years, and the people have an almost abnormal awe of the symbols of scholars such as books, pens, and ink.

However, Chen Chu bought it to wipe his butt. He really can't get used to using leaves and bamboo slices!

But Yang Zhen and others who didn't know the inside story looked at Chen Chu with a trace of respect in their eyes.

These days, Chen Chu told interesting stories and knew a lot. Yang Zhen guessed that he should be a scholar.

At this moment, seeing that he bought books and stationery, Yang Zhen finally confirmed Chen Chu's identity as a "scholar".

The cat who was also waiting outside the door hurried forward and took the books and papers in Chen Chu's hands, his small dark face couldn't hide the look of pride.

In fact, compared with the previous dynasties, the literacy rate of the Zhou Dynasty was still very high.However, when Yang Zhen and others should be able to read, they met the Jin people who invaded the south, and naturally they lost the opportunity to study during the war.

Finally, the group went to buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, but the two rickshaws couldn't fit it.

Chen Chu simply took the remaining [-] yuan and bought a set of ox carts in the cattle and horse market.

When the money is gone, the mind is at peace.
Seeing that Chen Chu didn't have a penny left for him, Yang Zhen couldn't help but said, "Brother Chu, just now the price of your pawn bag has dropped."

"I know." Chen Chu smiled.

"You know?"

"Well. If I asked for one hundred thousand or eighty thousand dollars today, I think the lady would agree."

"Then why do you only need [-] yuan?" Yang Zhen was even more surprised.

"I'm worried that I'm asking for too much, and they're thinking about it."

Only then did Chen Chu reveal the reason.

In a feudal dynasty that relied on the rule of man, the law was far less deterrent to people than later generations. If Chen Chu's lion opened his mouth to hurt the other party, would the Cai family make people robbed halfway?

Come up with a trick that goes out with the left hand and returns with the right hand.

As long as the [-] yuan was obviously given to Cai Ji's pawnshop to take advantage of it, and the other party got a big profit, the desire to take risks would naturally decrease a lot.

Chen Chu was not sure that Cai Ji would do evil things, but it was really not worth the risk for a plastic bag.

Yang Zhen immediately understood what he meant, but smiled lightly, and said, "They may not dare to touch our things."

"Oh?" Chen Chu glanced at Yang Zhen, heard the confidence in the latter's words, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, could it be that Uncle Yang is also a person with a story?"

Yang Zhen chuckled: "Anyway, you don't need to be so careful in Tongshan territory."

After noon, we headed back to the mountain.

An ox cart, two rickshaws, full of food and cloth, and sheep tied to the shafts, are conspicuous even in densely populated cities.

Sure enough, they ran into trouble when they left the city.

When the signatory soldiers guarding the city gate saw such a big fat sheep, how could they not bite it hard.

"Where are you going to transport the food? But to the Southern Dynasty!"

A small leader stopped the ox cart driven by the eldest son, and charged him with 'collaborating with the enemy' when he opened his mouth.

This is their usual move.

Yang Dalang stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Master Jun, this is the ration of our whole village. It's for the folks in the village. Why don't we do it conveniently?"

"It's convenient for you, who is convenient for us?" the leader said.

Seeing that the other party refused to let him go, Yang Dalang turned his head and whispered something to Wu Kui. The latter nodded, and then ran to the signing army barracks next to the city gate.

After a while, Wu Kui returned, and with him came a big man with leopard eyes and beard who was dressed in a black jacket and a green silk war robe.

Seeing the big man approaching, the little leader of the signing army hurriedly led the other guarding brothers forward to salute, and shouted: "Captain Zhang."

The big man waved his hand, but walked towards Yang Zhen first, then took out a package of things wrapped in oil paper from his arms and stuffed it to Yang Dalang, and said in a low voice: "You should go down the mountain soon, I bought it in advance." Feng dim sum is my mother's favorite Misan knife, you can take it back with you."

"En." Yang Dalang didn't say much, nodded to the big man and led the team out of the city.

The little boss naturally didn't dare to stop him.

As long as you are not blind, you can tell that these people are familiar with their bosses.

The little boss couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He had just transferred Team Zhang's subordinates from a neighboring county, so he wasn't familiar with his superiors at all.

This time, he accidentally stopped an acquaintance of his boss, worrying that "Captain Zhang" would find him uncomfortable because of this.

At the same time, I was a little bored.

These signings of their troops were all forced to sign and conscripted. Not only did they need to prepare their own armor, but it would also cause the family to lose a strong labor force.

If you can pay in full, take care of your wife and children, it is worthwhile to work for the puppet Qi, be driven by the golden man, and be called a "traitor" by the villagers.

But what they paid for the military pay was less than one dollar. Not to mention feeding their wives and children, they couldn't even survive themselves.

Therefore, they rely on extorting some money and food from the city gate on weekdays.

It's unlucky today, not only did the little boss not get money and food, but he was afraid that his boss would have to give him a meal
"Captain Zhang" saw his boss pacing in front of him, and the little leader bent even deeper.

"Hahaha." Captain Zhang smiled heartily, took out the purse from his pocket, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it to the little boss: "Grandma, this is my private money, I reward you bastards." .”

"Ah?" The little boss took it subconsciously, and quickly raised the money bag with both hands, wanting to return it to his boss.

"Brothers have worked hard recently, you can use the money to eat and drink." Captain Zhang waved his hand.

"Then how dare I let you spend money forever!" The little boss panicked.

Team Zhang raised his leg and kicked the other party, scolding with a smile: "Get out, you're very polite with me, share the money left over after eating with the brothers, and take it home to pay for my old lady. Don't just care about your own stomach."

The little boss was kicked, but he became happy instead, touched his head and said with a smile: "Then, on behalf of the brothers, I would like to thank my brother for the reward."

　Thanks to the students of 'Sharing Taiping' and the students of 'Handsome without a sense of substitution' for their rewards~
