lady, please calm down

Chapter 174 Take what you need
Xu time.

Chen's mansion, the second time you enter, see Cuitang.

Already half drunk, Chen Chu asked with a smile, "Zhiyuan, did you guys sneak out from home again?"

Apart from Chen Jing'an who was brought by Chen Chu to accompany him, Zhou Zongfa, Xu Zhiyuan, Ximen Chong, Cai Si and other Tongshan fellows were present.

During the Battle of Tongshan, these people had a precedent of sneaking out of the city, so Chen Chu naturally wanted to ask.

"Principal! We didn't sneak out this time! Here, this is a letter from my father."

Xu Zhiyuan, who was beaten once and imprisoned for a month, hurriedly defended himself and took out a letter.

Chen Chu opened it up and read it on the spot. Brother Xu Bang said in the letter that Zhiyuan and the others had no interest in learning, but they were interested in the army. This time they came to Caizhou with the team escorting the prisoners of the Shenrui Army. so on.
In today's world, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only when you have soldiers in your hands that you speak hard.

These are some good elder brothers who sent their nephews to vote because they feared that they would not have any influence in the army.

For this, Chen Chu understood very well.

It would be inconceivable if there was only one voice within a political group without any factions.

There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. This sentence has been widely circulated.

The end of Xu.

Pushing a cup to change a cup, Chen Chu was slightly drunk, but Mao Dan came in to report: "Master, just now someone from the back house sent a message saying that there is a water leak in Qingpu Garden, please come over and have a look."

Xu Zhiyuan and the others looked puzzled, should they call the master over such a trivial matter?
"Uh Zhiyuan, then you can do your own thing here, and I'll take care of it."

No, Chen Chu really got up and left the table.

"The headmaster can do as he pleases."

"It's all free, I don't have to support it."

Out of Jiancuitang.Chen Chu exhaled alcohol into the autumn night like water, smiled and walked to the back house.

Passing through the three entrances and four entrances in the shadow beside the vertical flower gate, there is indeed a graceful figure standing there.

"I heard Mao Dan said that you didn't even bother to eat lunch today, and went to drink when you came back in the evening. What's there to eat with these children?"

Cai Wei stepped forward, took Chen Chu's hand very naturally, and the two walked towards the back house.

"Children" naturally refers to her cousin Cai Si and others. In fact, Cai Si and Chen Chu are about the same age.

Chen Chu smiled and asked, "Zhou Zongfa is also here."

"What is he here for?"

"Brought a group of Tongshan people to join the army, do you want to see him tomorrow?"

"No, no time."

Cai Wei said straight.

Chen Chu was able to ask this question because Zhou Zongfa settled in Caihua's Shuanghe Village. Chen Chu felt that if Maoer heard that there were people from Luliu Village coming to Caizhou here, he would definitely meet him and encourage him.

Cai Wei's lack of interest stems from her class of origin, and she has never had much affection for the farmers.

"From the people, guide the people, mobilize the people." Chen Chu said with a smile.

Cai Wei said, "It's not inferior to being close. You are too close to them, and you will inevitably lack awe after a long time."

This kind of conceptual issue, if the two of them debated all night, they might not be able to agree on a right or wrong.

It's a great Spring Festival, it would be a pity to argue about it.

Seeing that Cuitang was on the west side of the house, Cai Wei and Chen Chu naturally chose the Hanging Flower Gate on the west side of the four entrances.

It's just that when passing Wujin, Cai Wei took Chen Chu's hand and turned eastward naturally, and then walked along the east corridor to the backyard.

Yunong's Wangxiang Garden is in the west, and Cai Hua's Qingpu Garden is in the east.
That night, Yu Nong, who had waited until midnight before going to bed, couldn't help but cursed softly, "Dead snake, stinky snake, annoying cauliflower snake!"

Well, Yu Nong, who just said a few days ago that she would never scold Cai Hua behind her back, broke her promise.

Also this night.

In Xiaxi Village, [-] miles south of Caizhou, Wu Tong and Li Luozi were sitting in the courtyard. The two survivors also drank some wine tonight.

"Brother Mule, do you mean that my sister-in-law has gone to the city to work for a rich family?"

"Well, I heard from my mother that she and the recruits from our village were all recruited. It's the usual monthly routine. I don't know who used her, a thick-handed and stupid woman."

Li Mule said with a smile.

"Hey! That's a good job, and it doesn't cost money to eat and drink."

"Hey, tomorrow I'll go to the city to scan and listen to see her, but now she doesn't know that I'm back, and I think I've been quite frightened in the past month."

"That's it."

Wu Tong glanced back subconsciously. In the half-collapsed house, his father, mother, wife and children were already sleeping in a small corner that could shelter the autumn wind.

Thinking about it, I was tired.

When he came home in the evening, the family naturally cried a lot.

But these tears are tears of joy after the reunion.

Recalling the scene in the school yard in the afternoon, Wu Tong took out a silver coin from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Mule's pocket, sighing: "Unexpectedly, the new Dutong master came to my house for dinner."

Li Mule was taken aback, put the money back to Wu Tong, and sighed: "Whoever said it wasn't, we never thought that Zheng Dutong, who covered the sky with his hands, was dead, and your village is dominated by the Zheng family." Li Mantou, who can bully men and women, was also killed by Chen Dutong himself!"

"Yes! Thinking of this makes me feel happy!" Wu Tong handed over the money again.

Li Mule didn't answer, but asked, "Brother, what are you going to do next?"

"I want to fix the house first, and then" Wu Tong hesitated, not daring to express his thoughts, for fear of being scolded by Li Mule for being stupid.

Li Mule glanced at him, but said for him: "Then go to join the army?"

"Yes! Brother Mule, what do you think?"

"If I used to scold you, but now if I go to Chen Dutong's command." Li Mule looked up at the deep night sky and said in a low voice: "I think Caizhou is about to change! If we vote early, we may not be able to win a prize." A future ahead!"

"Brother Mule, are you going too?"

"Correct!"

"Okay, then you take this ingot of silver! Don't be polite to me. If you hadn't taken care of me everywhere in Tongshan, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

"Brother, I'm not being polite to you. You can use this money to buy things and repair the house first. If there is too much left, you can share with me and I will take it. These few days, I will help you repair the house first. After finishing this matter, let's go to Caizhou to join the army!"

"it is good!"

Starting from September 26, the recruiting office of the Zhenhuai Army gradually became lively.

At the beginning, the main applicants were Sanbai Tongshan Minzhuang who came to Caizhou with the escort of the captives.

Afterwards, local youths from Caizhou appeared one after another.

By the 28th, the Zhenhuai Army had a size of 800 people, and the framework of each battalion was basically completed.

Cai Wei has not been idle these few days. First, she took Yunong or bought or signed a batch of servants, and then made a small renovation to the yard.

For example, floor tiles are laid on the ground behind the doors and windows, and the ground below the floor tiles is deliberately not level, so that when people step on it, there will be bumps and 'clicks' between the floor tiles.

Yunong didn't understand this very much, but Cai Wei said lightly: "If someone enters the house at night, the sound of the floor tiles can be used as a warning when you touch the door and turn over the window. Also, don't apply grease to the rear door hinge, the door hinge turns The 'creaking' sound of time also has this effect, especially in the quiet and late night, it is especially clear."

Yunong was shocked at the time, it turned out that there are so many small details in the house!

No wonder some big families make an unpleasant "creaking" sound when they open the door. It turns out that they are not reluctant to apply grease, but to prevent thieves!

Taking care of the house is indeed a science.

If my sister didn't say it, I'm afraid I would never think of it in my life
28, afternoon.

Zhang Chunxiao, the appeasement envoy of Henan Road, walked lightly in simple clothes, and entered Caizhou City with only an old servant and several guards.

After entering the city, he did not go to the government office, but to the left-behind official office.

Houya official house side hall.

As soon as Zhang Chunxiao sat down, he said: "When the salary is paid in the future, Chen Dutong must not cause trouble."

What he said made Chen Chu quite unhappy, and he couldn't help saying: "Master Zhang, the commanders of the Jing'an Army, Wuwei Army, and Ningjiang Army have come to see you in the future after taking up their duties for nearly a month. Who wants to make trouble?"

"I naturally know about it. But Chen Dutong is young and promising, and he still has a bright future. Don't be as knowledgeable as military leaders like them who only know how to make money."

Zhang Chunxiao quickly coaxed.

The chaos in Caizhou and Tongshan will subside. If there is any more chaos in Caizhou, he will definitely not be able to keep his black hat.

He also knew that the leaders of the three armies were difficult to deal with, so he came to Caizhou to sit in the township two days in advance to avoid troubles when the salary was paid at the end of the month.

"Hey, I naturally don't have the same knowledge as them." Chen Chu sighed, as if he had to bear it.

"How much is Chen Dutong going to allocate?" Zhang Chunxiao carefully tested.

"Seventy percent, as usual, only seventy percent is in my hands, and I don't take a cent of this seventy percent."

"Chen Dutong is really high-spirited!"

The root cause of Zhang Chunxiao's fear of accidents was that Chen Chu withheld too much, at this time he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Chen Chu chuckled, and suddenly said: "Master Zhang, what about the matter that the officer told you in the letter?"

"."

Regarding this matter, Zhang Chunxiao glanced at Chen Jingan who was sitting on the side.

Chen Jing'an was a little confused, but Chen Chu said, "It's not that Master Zhang doesn't know that Mr. Liu Chuan and Mr. Chen Xianzun are blood brothers. Not outsiders."

Zhang Chunxiao looked at Chen Jing'an again, then looked at Chen Chu, shook his head and said, "No, from the eighth rank Tongshan county magistrate to the sixth rank Caizhou magistrate, two ranks and four ranks, it's too conspicuous."

"Your Excellency also knows that the people in Tongshan now live in peace and the market is prosperous, all thanks to Chen County's respect for food and clothing, and hard work in governance. Such a good official should increase the burden and let him benefit more people."

While Chen Chu was speaking, he took out a plastic bag and put it on the table and pushed it over.

Chen Jing'an who was on the side was taken aback. At this moment, he knew that Chen Chu was helping Chen Jingyan to find the post of prefect of Caizhou.

Even Chen Jingyan himself did not know about this matter.

Zhang Chunxiao glanced at the unknown treasure on the table, but still shook his head and said: "Don't think about it, the post of prefect is not for me to help you."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Chen Chu was not surprised, he said with a smile: "Then Cai Zhou is a prefect, sir, there must be some way?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chunxiao pondered for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "Hehe, Chen Dutong, since what he wanted early this morning was the post of Tongzhi, why did he take the prefect for a long time?"

"Haha, I can't even hide it from Mr. Zhang! However, this move is not out of selfishness! When I was in Tongshan, I got along well with Chen Xianzun and cooperated tacitly. Now that I am in Caizhou, I can't help but want to get along with Chen Xianzun." Continuing the frontier and sincerely cooperating to benefit the people of Caizhou”

"Hehe." Regarding Chen Chu's words, Zhang Chunxiao was noncommittal, but abruptly said, "Then what about what I said in the letter?"

"My lord, don't worry! If your lord's family nephew goes to Tongshan to take up the post during the transfer of winter, I will fully cooperate with Tongshan in governing, so that Mr. Zhang can have a pleasant three-year term of office and a bright resume."

"Ahem~" Seeing that Chen Chu's words were too straightforward, Zhang Chunxiao hurriedly coughed and interrupted. Then, as if he had just seen the plastic bag on the desk, he picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "Ah! Chen Dutong , what is this?"

"This thing is a long story, it has many names"

Chen Chu enthusiastically explained.

Chen Jing'an finally understood that Zhang Chunxiao helped Chen Jingyan seek Caizhou Tongzhi, but the vacant Tongshan county magistrate would have someone from him to replace him.

It is said that it is not up to Chen Chu and his group to comment on who will become the county magistrate of Tongshan, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that if the next magistrate of Tongshan county does not get the support of these gangsters, let alone secure his official position, he will make a point when he is in office No surprises.

But once the new county magistrate gets the support of local snakes, Tongshan County is an extremely easy place to make achievements and gain official reputation.

After all, the foundation for prosperity has been laid, and now whoever goes there can pick peaches.

Take what you need, PY transactions.
