Chapter 273 numb and realistic people

Zhou Jingcheng was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and leather robe. He listened with a smile and couldn't stop nodding. This made everyone say more. Only when everyone was so excited that they asked: "What should I do if I clear out this depression?"

"...what else can I do? Maybe I will lead his kids to practice here..."

The people below answered the question that Zhou Jingcheng and Zhou Gui did not ask too much, but continued to nod. It was no fun to watch the lively scene of work for a long time. Master Zhou said hello to everyone and left. Everyone present hurriedly wanted to see him off. Zhou Gui refused politely and firmly, saying that he wanted to take a few steps and let his nephew accompany him.

Everyone recognizes Zhou Jingcheng's nephew. It is said that he is from Luzhou, Shanxi, and ranked sixth in his family. He was once called Zhou Saturday. When he came to Huairen, he changed his name to Zhou Lu and followed Zhou Jingcheng to work at the Lifang. The reason why it is said that the origin of the distant nephew of the Zhou family was Zhou Gui himself said, whether he was from Luzhou, whether he was from sixth, or even his distant nephew, was not necessarily true.

Because Zhou Lu and Zhou Gui look so similar, the old people in Class 3 and Room 6 were shocked when they saw it. They were just Zhou Jingcheng when they were young. Everyone speculated that Zhou Lu was Zhou Gui's illegitimate son and found a reason to take him back and raise him. Maybe he would take over the job of the manager of the Nian and Jingcheng in the future.

The officials and officers in the three and six rooms were convinced by Zhou Lu. Although they were in their early twenties, they could do everything well and not offend others and get the job done properly. Compared with the Zhou family's famous sons, I really don't know where they are.

The wealth of officials and servants is compared to ordinary people. They are not the kind of children of the big family who are not touching water or soil. This is a big shot in Huairen County, but no one finds it strange that they walk on the streets in winter. Zhou Gui is still strong. Although he is very stylish on weekdays, he doesn’t need the support of his younger generation when he really walks around.

The people all worked in the depressions in the south of the city, and officials and wealthy families were either busy there or watching the fun there. After walking out of that area, the streets were very deserted, and Zhou Gui and Zhou Lu's "uncle and nephew" walked one after another.

"Do your work honestly, Master Qin and Mr. Zhu will do whatever you want to do. Don't be angry or do anything in it." After walking two streets, Zhou Gui, the House Jingcheng, suddenly said.

"The little one knows..."

"Don't be interested in anything, you're going to die!" Zhou Jingcheng's tone became stern.

While we were talking, we heard neat footsteps in the distance and approached here. In Huairen County, even outside the city, we rarely heard such sounds. At first, we felt shocked, as if a giant was walking forward, but when we listened carefully, we realized that many people were taking steps at the same time. In fact, only the sound was not vibrating, but the Zhou family and the two subconsciously felt that the house and the courtyard wall were trembling.

"Earthquake... is in chaos..." Zhou Gui said in a row that he might have denied both of them himself, but he soon saw the reason.

There were many people running on the other side of the road. Unlike the messy surging forward, the team was a line of five people. Each of them held a long pole in their hands, running forward in the same posture and the same pace. It looked like a wall and a mountain pressing forward. Zhou Gui and Zhou Lu were stunned for a moment before they reacted and hurriedly flashed to the side of the road.

"Align it! Use whatever posture you teach you, and look at the people around you with the corners of your eyes. Are you shopping in the market? It's a mess, be careful to go back and eat the whip!"

Someone on one side of the team scolded him but the sound of the lesson made Zhou Gui and his nephew stunned, thinking that this was not neat, so what was neat?

The two of them stood on the side of the road, watching the passing team. The young people holding long poles with one hand were looking straight and staring. In this icy weather, their faces were red, but their energy was not bad. They could eat and wear warmly.

After running over a few rows, Zhou Gui saw a familiar face, which others did not recognize. The young people who worked in the yamen were more familiar faces. These young policemen even knew Master Zhou. Some of them wanted to say hello, but were scolded by the people in the team and quickly ran forward with concentration.

After the team disappeared at the end of the alley, Zhou Lu reported the number "it was one hundred and eighty-three people". For the civil servants in the official room, counting and reporting numbers was a skill in their hearts.

The house, Jingcheng, Zhou Gui, stared at the empty streets, ignored the number reported by Zhou Lu, and was stunned for a while before speaking: "These boys who used to work in Class 3 had to give me a big gift when they saw me..."

"Master, these guys..." Zhou Lu called Zhou Gui according to the rules in the yamen, and he never saw any relatives.

Zhou Gui ignored Zhou Lu's comforting words, as if he was feeling a few words, and then he was stunned. There were hundreds of people running neatly in this small county town, which was a very interesting scene. Some half-aged and children had already run out of their homes or followed them from other places, laughing and noisy, and the streets were no longer as quiet as before.

Seeing Zhou Jingcheng not speaking, Zhou Lu also kept silent. It was not long after, Jingcheng Zhou Gui turned around and continued to walk towards the house. Zhou Lu quickly followed. After walking a few steps, Zhou Gui stopped and looked ahead and said in a muffled voice: "Tomorrow you will quit your household errands and go to Zhu Da to find a job. You can keep accounts and settle accounts. He is working."

After saying this, Zhou Lu hadn't reacted yet, but he opened his eyes a moment later, hurriedly chased after him and said, "Master...Dad...Master, what did you do wrong..."

"Will I harm you? This is for your own good." Zhou Gui, the House Jingcheng, turned around and glanced with a solemn expression. Zhou Lu immediately did not dare to say anything else.

**********

The young refugees also had to run outside the city, but when they were in the farm, they ignored them. However, after running on the streets in the city, they were alarmed and everything was not even over. In the afternoon of the same day, the Hu Master from the county government visited.

"Mr. Ai has always respected Mr. Qin. He must be in line with the righteousness of his role in the city, so there is no need to ask too much. Mr. Zhu, who is the precious Mr. Zhu, gathered hundreds of young and strong men, and strolled in the city, causing panic. My magistrate has the responsibility to defend the territory, so he has to ask."

Qin Juren sighed helplessly when he heard this question. In Huairen County, there was no possibility that this Magistrate Ai would not come to ask, but the scene of two hundred young and strong running neatly was really shocking. The whole county was inexplicably panicked. At this time, the smoke of the sky was no longer ignited. Instead of worrying about the Tartars, it would be better to worry about Zhu Da. Qin Juren did not think that the county government was meddling in other people's business at all. Such a scene was even related to the ill-behavior. As the imperial official, County Magistrate Ai had to ask. Of course, most of the 100% were the leaders of the three ranks and six rooms who pushed him out to ask.

Fortunately, there was a plan to deal with this. Qin Juren said that these people were all hired by Zhu Da for business and land, and then arranged for people to bring out twenty taels of silver and asked Master Hu what feasible methods were there.

"......How can this make Mr. Qin not a student... In fact, it's simple. He went to the yamen to apply for a employed document and said that these hundreds of people were servants of Mr. Zhu. Who else could the master's family get in the city to let the servants do their activities in the city?..."

When Qin Chuan gave the explanation, Master Hu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what happened next, he would give him a step forward, and the next twenty taels of silver was even more icing on the cake.

Zhu Da only learned about this the next day because he may not necessarily have dinner and rest at the Qin family at night, and he will often be with the young and strong refugees.

Before going to the Qin family, a young man came to join the house. He was not in the county town, but he had no hidden his identity and origin. After Chang Kai and Fu Yu came over, he understood more clearly that the young man didn't ask for any wages, but only wanted food and clothing.

"Does Old Zhou have to let his son come to the door?" Chang Kai muttered to Chang Shen privately. They thought Zhou Gui must have seen something, but they also thought why should he make such a heavy bet? His brothers had no choice.

Zhu Da didn't hide anything in front of Qin Chuan, and said that Zhou Gui's "distant nephew" came to surrender. Qin Juren just shook his head when he heard this, but many of the things he wanted to say were put in his stomach. He just briefly said what Master Hu was doing, and then asked him and Zhou Lu to go to the household house to complete the procedures.

With Lu Yinlu this week, and with young men like Fu Yu and Mengtian, Zhu Da was originally a Buddha in Huairen County, and the documents related to the Sixth Room were quickly processed. Zhu Da spent more than a dozen taels of silver for this. Although the civil servants who received the silver were all pale and sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the benefits of this money were not for nothing. The registered civil servants and servants all wore their own robes. Although they were not of grade, in the eyes of the people, they still represented the power of the government. They went to Zhuda's house to resettle refugees and handled the procedures for these people on the spot.

In fact, Chang Kai had already made a death contract for Zhu Da. The refugee family and servants were both servants of Zhu Da, and the kind of children who had been slaves for generations. But that time, it was in the farm, and after the "transfer", everyone continued to be closed to the farm to train and work, which made a very uneasy feeling. This time, it was in the city again, and there was a "master" wearing robes and clothes to handle the matter, and the refugees were relieved.
