Borrow the day to change the day

The original road construction army was handled by the officials of the court and central government, and there was no need for Emperor Chongzhen or Zhong Jinwei to worry about it.It is up to them to decide whether to repatriate their original hometown or transfer to other places where cement roads are being repaired.

On this day, Zhong Jinwei was handling official business in the Beijing camp, and the four juniors suddenly entered his office together.When he saw it, he knew that something must be wrong with them.

Because the Fourth Elementary School was arranged by him to be the chief executive in the new army camp, everyone had to train with the new army soldiers.If it wasn't for something, I wouldn't come to see myself together.

He put down his pen, looked at Si Xiao, and asked kindly: "What do you need from me?"

The four children looked at each other, and then Sun Kewang, the oldest, said, "Uncle, the adoptive father of the nephews has come to Beijing, and the nephews want to visit."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jinwei asked with great interest: "Has Zhang Xianzhong entered Beijing? Is he here to visit relatives, friends, or settle down?"

He knew that Zhang Xianzhong's hand had been crippled by Jianlu's Mitsubishi arrow, so he withdrew from the army.

"It's settling down, and doing some business by the way." Ainengqi, who was the youngest, answered first.

Zhong Jinwei thought for a moment, stood up and said to Si Xiao: "We are old acquaintances, let's go and have a look together."

Li Laosi heard it from the side, and secretly despised his master.It must be because I don't want to work anymore, so I use such an excuse to go out for a walk.No matter who it is, they will not think that Zhang Xianzhong is an old acquaintance worthy of Zhongxinghou's visit.

He didn't know that Zhong Jinwei had this idea because of Zhang Xianzhong's achievements in history.Now because of Zhong Jinwei himself, Zhang Xianzhong's life trajectory has completely changed.Zhong Jinwei wanted to see very much, what is the current situation of the historical Dashun Emperor?

When Zhong Jinwei said he wanted to see Zhang Xianzhong, the fourth little one would naturally not stop him, but instead felt honored for Zhang Xianzhong.

As soon as a group of people walked out of the yamen gate, Zhong Jinwei suddenly found out that his group of people were wearing official uniforms and huddled around looking for Zhang Xianzhong, which seemed too ostentatious.

So, they went back to change their casual clothes before starting again.

Zhang Xianzhong's shop is located on a street that is not very busy, which is also to be expected.

Because Jingshi's shop is a rare resource, and it cannot be sold without a large capital.Especially the shops in the bustling neighborhoods are even more expensive.

Zhong Jinwei originally planned to keep a low profile, so he changed his clothes.But a group of people rode over on horseback, and with so many horses, they must be no ordinary people.Therefore, things backfired, and they attracted the attention of passers-by all at once, even if they wanted to keep a low profile.

Zhong Jinwei got off his horse, protected by Gu Baichuan and others, and walked into the shop, while the fourth little one rushed into the shop first.

As soon as Ainengqi entered the door, he yelled loudly: "Father, father, we have come to see you."

Zhang Xianzhong happened to be at the counter, and when he heard the shout, he raised his head with great joy, and looked over at the sound.Sure enough, it was his four adoptive sons who all came to see him.

When the three customers in the store heard it, they also looked over and found that it was four handsome young men.

Before Zhang Xianzhong could speak, Li Dingguo immediately reminded: "Father, uncle is here too."

Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately left the three customers behind, walked out of the counter, and rushed to greet him at the door.

At this time, Li Laosi and others had advanced into the store and occupied the four corners of the store.Zhang Xianzhong saw that Zhong Jinwei had just stepped into the store door, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates see Lord Hou!"

When Zhong Jinwei saw it, he quickly helped him up and said: "You have retired from the army, so there is no need to be polite."

There were still two guys in the store, and it was only then that they realized that they wanted to come over to see them too.

Zhong Jinwei saw that they, like Zhang Xianzhong, were missing an arm or that their arms were hanging down and could not be used, so he knew that they should also be wounded and disabled soldiers in the Denglaiming army.

So, he stopped them, he didn't like the red tape anyway.

When Zhang Xianzhong looked at his companion, he happened to see the dumbfounded expressions of the three guests, so he quickly led Zhong Jinwei to the backyard.

The originally crowded shop suddenly became empty again. After the three customers froze for a long time, they faltered and asked the waiter who stayed in the shop, "Just now, was the one just now Zhongxinghou?"

Upon hearing this, a fellow said proudly: "Isn't that the Marquis of Zhongxing! You don't know..."

The guy didn't care about business, so he started chatting.

After Zhong Jinwei sat down, he let Zhang Xianzhong sit down as well, and asked, "How do you think of coming to the capital to do business?"

When Marquis Zhongxing asked about it, Zhang Xianzhong naturally told him everything.

It turned out that after Zhang Xianzhong retired from the army due to injury, he was bored and thought about his fourth primary school, so he planned to come to the capital.But he was not willing to be a person who was just waiting to die at such a young age, so he gathered a group of disabled soldiers and raised money to open this shop.

"Master Hou, now the Koreans are very close to me, Ming. Seeing our Ming army is a hundred times closer than seeing the people in the Korean government. The subordinates buy goods in North Korea, and the price is very cheap. After they are transported to the capital, the income There are also quite a lot of profits." Zhang Xianzhong finally said a little proudly.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he became interested and said, "So, your family deals in Korean goods?"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, then hesitated and said: "Not all of them, some fish floss from Denglai also came in."

"How is business?" Zhong Jinwei asked smoothly.

Zhang Xianzhong was also a comrade-in-arms of Zhong Jinwei's guards, so they were more concerned about the management of Zhang Xianzhong's store, and they all looked at Zhang Xianzhong, waiting for his answer.

If ordinary people ask this question, they will generally not get a real answer.But Zhongxing Hou asked, and Zhang Xianzhong naturally replied truthfully: "The profit is more than double, but there are fewer customers, and the popularity of this area is not strong."

Before Zhong Jinwei could speak, a waiter suddenly came in and said: "Master Hou, the little girl outside is talking about Master Hou, and there are many people gathered outside the shop for this."

The purpose of this fan service was to tell Marquis Zhongxing whether he wanted to deal with that talkative Xiao Er.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei slapped his thigh and said happily: "Yes."

When Li Laosi heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, what's the matter?"

Zhong Jinwei didn't answer directly, but told him: "When you go out later, you can buy something with great fanfare and go back."

Then he turned his head and told Gu Baichuan: "You go back and inform the people of "Ming Pao" to come and interview them. Write a report, the theme of which is the heroic soldiers in the Daming Denglai Army who retired from the army due to injuries but lived on their own. , self-reliance, hard work.”

Zhang Xianzhong already understood that Zhongxinghou wanted to raise the popularity of their store and attract people to come here.I couldn't help being very grateful, and wanted to kneel down to express my gratitude.

Zhong Jinwei stopped him, and changed the subject: "How is the Denglai Army doing now?"

"Back to Lord Hou, Master Zhongcheng has selected [-] elites and is training assassination techniques day and night. The court's flintlock guns are only partially available, so many soldiers are queuing up to use them." Zhang Xianzhong replied more respectfully.

Zhong Jinwei nodded in satisfaction, and after chatting for a while, he bought something with great fanfare and left.
