Chapter 249.
Zhou Dazhuang came prepared.

Zhou Dazhuang told Wu Zhizhou that he did not do the "bombardment of the granary" alone, and all the gunners in the army were involved.The reason Zhou Dazhuang raised the price was because 1000 taels of silver was not enough for everyone to share.

Zhou Dazhuang went all out, and he threatened Wu Zhizhou that if he didn't return to the barracks tomorrow morning, his comrades would go to Qiao Dabiao and report Wu Zhizhou.

In desperation, Wu Zhizhou held his nose and paid Zhou Dazhuang 2000 taels of silver.

After Zhou Dazhuang got the money, he stayed in Fucheng for one night, and planned to go to Tianxianglou tomorrow to redeem Yunniang.

What Zhou Dazhuang didn't expect was that the next morning, there were rumors in Fucheng that "fireballs fell from the sky and burned the official warehouse" yesterday. However, their Pingjiang Mansion was blessed by the gods, so there was "the gods bless the gods and rain the rain".

Zhou Dazhuang was dumbfounded.

Didn't the Guancang burn up yesterday?
Will Wu Zhizhou go back on his word and ask him to get his money back?
There is absolutely no reason to spit out the money in hand.

Zhou Dazhuang didn't care about Yunniang's affairs, so he went to the street to find a scholar who wrote letters for others, and wrote a letter like "My mother died of illness, and I will return home quickly".

With this letter, Zhou Dazhuang and Ding Er asked for leave from Centurion He Laoshou and left the barracks.

Zhou Dazhuang and Ding Er have discussed it. They will leave the barracks for a while to see the follow-up development.

If after a period of time, the burning of the official warehouse subsides, it will not be too late for them to return to the Huwei Army to serve as errands.

If things change, even if they don't return to Huwei's army, they still have so much money in their hands!What can't you do?
Ding Er's family is not in Pingjiang Mansion, but in Xingyi Mansion.

Ding Er's mother was seriously ill. After Ding Er left the barracks, he hurried home with money.

Zhou Dazhuang didn't want to go home, so he wanted to take a walk around.

After joining the army, Zhou Dazhuang stayed in the barracks every day, except for training or training.Now that Zhou Dazhuang has money in his hand, he also wants to follow the example of other scholars and walk around.

Zhou Dazhuang's first stop was Xingyi Mansion.

Ding Er is going back to Xingyi Mansion, Zhou Dazhuang can also send Ding Er off by the way.

Xingyi Mansion also suffered a disaster, but the disaster was not as severe as that of Pingjiang Mansion.

In the first season of this year, the harvest in Xingyi Prefecture is only [-]% of the usual.

Along the way, Zhou Dazhuang heard a lot of rumors that "Pingjiang Mansion has no harvest in autumn, no food in official warehouses for disaster relief, and I don't know how many people will starve to death this year".

People are like this, like to compare.

I am miserable, and seeing others miserable than myself, my mood is inexplicably comforted.

Some people even swore that their relatives were businessmen and saw with their own eyes that Pingjiang mansion was full of starvation and so on.

Zhou Dazhuang couldn't stay in Xingyi Mansion after hearing these rumors.

Zhou Dazhuang had been staying in the barracks before, and he had no shortage of food or clothing. He really didn't notice that the price of food on the market has increased many times.

Zhou Dazhuang decided to buy some grain in Xingyi Mansion and go home to have a look.

I haven't contacted my family for many years. As time passed, Zhou Dazhuang's anger towards his family was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

Zhou Dazhuang wanted to see if his family members were alive or dead.He wanted to appear in front of his family like a god, to bring out the food they needed, and to give them hope of survival.

In this way, Zhou Dazhuang rented two mule carts and returned to Xinghua Village with two carts full of things.

However, what surprised Zhou Dazhuang was that Xinghua Village didn't seem to be short of food at all.

During the day, the villagers who came to Zhou's house had loud voices and ruddy faces. They ate the cakes brought by Zhou Dazhuang, and they didn't look like they were starving at all.

Is there... is there something I don't know about it?
Zhou Dazhuang spent the whole night tossing and turning.

The enthusiasm of his family and the villagers made Zhou Dazhuang very heartbroken.However, Zhou Dazhuang was a little worried about gains and losses, for fear that his true face would be exposed at some point.

The Zhou family has always been hardworking.When the cock crowed again, the Zhou family got up one after another.

Zhou Dazhuang couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up.

After breakfast, the men of the Zhou family went out to do errands one after another, and Zhou Dazhuang was left behind by the Zhou Wang family.

"Son, are you still going when you come back this time?" Mrs. Zhou asked, holding Zhou Dazhuang's hand.

"Mom, I'll leave in a month." Zhou Dazhuang thought for a while and said.

The gunners of the Huwei Army have a salary of more than one or two taels of silver a month!

If possible, Zhou Dazhuang would definitely not want to lose this job.

"Is that so? Then... mother asks you, these years outside, have you... got married?" Mrs. Zhou asked cautiously.

In Zhou Wang's heart, he feels distressed and guilty for Zhou Dazhuang's youngest son.

Zhou Dazhuang was still young when he left home!It stands to reason that the adult Zhou Dazhu and Zhou Daqiao should be allowed to serve in the military. The most fair thing is to let the three brothers draw lots!
But Zhou Wang's decision did not dare to object.

Because of this, Zhou Wang thought that after Zhou Dazhuang died, he would be depressed, crying almost blind.

After Zhou Dazhuang "resurrected from the dead", Zhou Wang wished to bring all the good things to Zhou Dazhuang's eyes as compensation for Zhou Dazhuang.

"Mother, I'm not married, I..." Zhou Dazhuang was about to say that he liked Yunniang and wanted to marry Yunniang.

After thinking about it, Zhou Dazhuang didn't dare to say it.

Yunniang is no longer the Yunniang she used to be. No matter how much the Zhou Wang family loves him, she will definitely not agree to him marrying a fireworks girl.

"Son! The mother asked you, among the girls who came to the house yesterday, did you have your fancy? As long as you want, mother will find a matchmaker for you." Zhou Wang's face was full of joy.

The defense between men and women in the countryside is not very strict. Yesterday, many villagers from Xinghua Village came to Zhou's house, even many girls in their teens.

Sir General!
The girls of Xinghua Village have never seen such a big official except for a prince and son, let alone this official is from their Xinghua Village.

"Mother, there's no need, my son doesn't want to get married yet." Zhou Dazhuang refused,
Zhou Dazhuang's thoughts are all on Yunniang, how could he marry another girl?
"Son~! Boys should be married and girls should be married. You are 22 this year. When you were your age, your brother already had two children." Zhou Wang said dissatisfied.

According to the customs of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the marriage of children is the responsibility of parents.

If Zhou Dazhuang is not married, the Zhou Wang couple will be talked about by the villagers, saying that they don't care about their children.

"Mother, I also have a son now, which girl would like to marry a husband with a child?" Zhou Dazhuang had an idea and said.

Zhou Dazhuang wanted to take this opportunity to return the big cat to Zhou Daqiao.
