The two walked along the official road for more than half a mile. Chang Jin saw a tea stall under a big mulberry tree next to the road not far away, and said, "It's not far from the county town. How about we go and rest for a while?"

"Okay," Bai Susu nodded in agreement.

This tea stall is ten miles away from the county town, which is just right. Most of the business trips going to and from the county town will rest here, take a little rest and nourish your energy before entering the city.

However, Qutang County was just recovered by the officers and soldiers, and there were few business trips nearby. Although the tea stalls were located on major traffic roads, their business was a bit deserted, with only three or five people sitting on the side of the road drinking tea.

Seeing them stopping, the proprietress immediately came over enthusiastically and said, "Two young men, do you want to drink tea? Please sit down quickly. The shop has excellent Maofeng tea and also its own sweet cake, which is very delicious."

As she said that, she wiped the table and chairs neatly with a rag.

"Then let's have a pot of Maofeng and a plate of sweet cakes." Seeing this person's quick hands and feet, Chang Jin felt a little favor in his heart.

"Okay," the boss's wife responded and greeted the store loudly.

Soon someone came over with a teapot. Looking at the color of the tea, Chang Jin knew that the so-called "best Maofeng" by the boss's wife was very ordinary. Thinking about it, if it was really a best Maofeng, how could anyone afford this small tea shop?

However, neither he nor Bai Susu is considered a person who is particular, and he will not be picky.

As soon as he picked up the teacup, he heard a idle man on the nearby table shouting: "Have you heard that the group of thieves in Balishan were wiped out by the officers and soldiers?"

As soon as this said, someone immediately asked: "Xie Shitou, why didn't I hear about it?"

"Just two days ago, General Zhu led his troops to wipe out. One of my cousins ​​ate military food. He heard that General Zhu took the lead in killing the mountain village at that time. The group of thieves cried and called their parents, and did not even resist for a stick of incense. They were killed by General Zhu."

"General Zhu is a good example!" the casual man shouted loudly.

"That's certainly," Xie Shitou continued, "Since the New Year, General Zhu led his troops to station in Qutang County, and the vicinity is much safer than before. All the bandits of all sizes fled elsewhere and dared not stay in Qutang County at all."

"General Zhu is indeed a good official. Now his officers and soldiers are paying for money when buying things. I heard that a few of them were paying for dinner in a restaurant and were found by the store. General Zhu learned about this and ordered people to hang up the officers and soldiers, and they were hit with thirty whips..."

"If General Zhu can stay in Qutang County forever, we can have more ways to survive."

"By the way, Xie Shitou, but your cousin said what General Zhu looks like and whether he is marrying?" Someone asked.

"Of course I know this. General Zhu is named Zhu Yuanhao. He is eight feet tall, his eyes are as strong as a copper bell, as strong as an iron tower, extremely powerful, and his hands can tear tigers and leopards..." He was so careless, obviously he had never seen the other party at all, but just listened to people's storytelling.

...

When Chang Jin heard someone describe Zhu Yuanhao so exaggeratedly, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Yunsheng, do you think of this person?" Bai Susu couldn't help but send a spiritual sense to ask when she heard her husband talking about fighting for the dragon.

"Well" Chang Jin also communicated with his spiritual sense: "Zhu Yuanhao led his troops to station in Qutang County for only more than a month, and he had already brought the people under his rule to their hearts and spread their reputation. This alone is an extraordinary person."

"This person is indeed capable of leading troops to attack, but if you want to make a difference in troubled times, it is not enough to rely on courage alone. You must have methods to govern the country and ensure the people. As you said, Zhu Yuanhao is just a martial artist, and he is afraid he is not good at civil governance." Bai Susu has never met Zhu Yuanhao himself, so he naturally has a low evaluation of him.

My husband told her about his plans a few days ago. After listening to Bai Susu, he was a little worried, so he had a little more persuasion.

In the secular world, the dragon takes humanity as the overall situation. If you are not careful, even the gods may be backfired and their souls will be scattered. She does not want her husband to join in.

However, knowing her husband's temperament, she could only persuade him tactfully from the side.

"Yes, this is also the weakness of Zhu Yuanhao." Chang Jin nodded slightly. Whether it is the earth in his previous life or this world, any founding emperor must understand the civil and military skills.

If you only know how to conquer and not govern, you will never be able to achieve great things in the end. Like Li Zicheng, Hong Xiuquan and others on Earth in their previous lives, although they had created a huge territory and created a new dynasty, they could not escape the destruction in the end.

So far, Zhu Yuanhao has not shown his talent in civil affairs. Chang Jin went out this time not just for a trip, but also wanted to see if the other party is really worthy of his help.

As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the county town.

I saw several fast horses coming in the end of the official road two miles away.

The man in the leader was tall and rode a maroon horse under his crotch. Although he was wearing a regular dress, a momentum arose in his every move. Behind him, several men in regular dresses followed closely.

When he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Chang Jin glanced at him and said with a divine sense: "The person in charge is Zhu Yuanhao..."

Several horses were fast and had already arrived near by in the blink of an eye.

However, after more than a month, Zhu Yuanhao's luck changed again. The green air above his head rose from the sky, forming a big banner, rushing up, and making three points better than the past.

Chang Jin had seen several people behind him, three of whom were old friends, and two of whom had worshipped Zhu Yuanhao at the Engong Temple last year.

It turns out that "those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black". Zhu Yuanhao's own fortune changes have affected these followers.

He clearly remembered that when he saw a few people, his luck was not much different from that of ordinary people. Now, he looked at it again, but it was very different. Most of these people's heads were filled with red air, which was condensed but not dispersed. There were even two people who were already half-green.

If one person has achieved enlightenment, he will ascend to heaven. If he is not as good as he expected, when Zhu Yuanhao goes further, these people will naturally rise. If Zhu Yuanhao can really start a new dynasty, these companions can become founding heroes even if they do not die.

Similar examples are everywhere on earth. For example, Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, worked as a business in weaving mats and selling shoes at home when he was young, and his life was very difficult. At that time, Jian Yong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others had been followed.

Then Liu Bei raised an army to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, and these people remained unyielding. When Liu Bei achieved his imperial career, Guan Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Shouting in Han, Zhang Fei was granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang, and Jian Yong was appointed as General Zhaode.

At this time, a personal soldier behind him saw the tea stall and couldn't help shouting: "Brother Zhu, there is a tea stall here. Why don't we take a break and take a few sips of tea before rushing on the road? The food was too salty in the morning, and now my throat is smoking."

"You're the one who has a lot to do," Zhu Yuanhao replied, strangling the reins and dismounting, "Just rest for a while."

When he spoke, he glanced into the tea stall. Because Chang Jin and Bai Susu had both transformed into appearances, they suddenly looked no different from ordinary people. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanhao dismounted, he turned his head and glanced back.

Seeing a few people dismounted, the boss's wife came up with a little hesitant, with a stubborn smile on her face: "How many uncles, do you want to drink tea?"

He often does business of welcoming and seeing off, and the boss's wife has a good vision. Nowadays, people who can ride horses are either rich or noble, and they are not affordable at all. What's more, the few people in front of him look fierce and obviously are not good at slapping them. He was afraid that he would offend him by accident and overturn his own tea stall.

The idle men who were talking a lot just now were silent at this moment, and they were honestly lowering their heads to drink tea, and they didn't dare to take a look at it. But they didn't know that the other party was General Zhu who they said.

Zhu Yuanhao saw this and smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, don't worry, we are not bad people, just leave after drinking a cup of tea, and you won't lose your tea money..."

"Yes, yes, please sit down, a few old men." The proprietress responded, wiping the table and chairs in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanhao was in the middle, and the remaining soldiers sat down one by one.

When the boss brought a pot of tea, he asked Zhou Laosan's soldier to take it with him, poured a cup for Zhu Yuanhao first, and then filled the cup in front of him, and poured it hard.

Drink all the tea in one breath, and he shouted: "It's great."

Then he said, "Brother Zhu, I can't understand. Those scholars cannot carry their shoulders and cannot pick them up, and they don't even dare to kill a chicken. What's the use of attracting them?"

"Zhou Laosan, you are talking nonsense again. I have already inquired about the scholars, and one of them was the leader of the Xiajiang Prefecture case. Last year, Li Yingxiang made a rebellion, and they were stranded in the prefecture city. They returned together after the officers and soldiers recovered Qutang County.

We are all rough people. People in the army eat horses and eat a lot of money and food every day. They all need to be calculated by asking people to calculate. There are also documents submitted to the Marquis... If we can get their help, we can naturally free up and train our troops!!"

"I do need to recruit a few scholars, otherwise I will have a headache when I settle the accounts every day," another sergeant next to me touched.

"There is no need to go there in person. The elder brother should pay attention to those scholars and just send someone to come here. Why bother to come and invite him?"

"Only by visiting the door in person, we can show our sincerity." Zhu Yuanhao explained, and paused and ordered, "When you arrive at the place later, you must not be rude and abrupt."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely not ruin my brother's good things." Zhou Laosan agreed.

Of course, Zhu Yuanhao doesn't need to go there personally to invite a few scholars who can settle accounts. However, he had other concerns in his mind, but it was just that it was not convenient for him to explain it to his brothers for the time being.

In the past, Zhu Yuanhao was on duty in Lianghou's mansion, but after he came out, he was just a commander of the camp, and his subordinates were in charge of dozens of people, so his vision was naturally narrow.

When he killed Zhao Dahu, he was named a general of the guard by Liang Hou, and was trusted by Liu Dushuai to be called a son-in-law. Zhu Yuanhao's mind gradually became bigger.

He could see clearly that Liang Hou should have great ambitions. As long as he follows the other party, he will have more opportunities to make contributions in the future. If he can seize it, it is not a dream to become successful.

To achieve your goals, you need to find someone to discuss and plan. These brothers are brave in fighting, but they have never read books and have no brains. They can't come up with ideas when encountering things.

Those scholars are famous for their reputation. If they can get their help, it will be better if they encounter any problems in the future than if they are alone.

It was precisely because of this thought that he decided to visit him to show his sincerity.

Several people were reckless, and drinking tea was just a thirst quenching. The speed was very fast. Soon, two plates of sweet cakes and a large pot of tea were gone.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Yuanhao did not delay and reached out to call the boss's wife to pay the bill.

Watching several people leave on horseback, Chang Jin also took out a piece of silver and said, "Boss, check out!"
Chapter completed!
