Tianjin Wei was not far from the capital, but Zhou Zheng got rid of the shackles.
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, on the Lantern Festival, Zhou Zheng took a group of children and wandered the streets of Tianjin Wei.
The little guys were not big or small, and Zhou Zheng didn't know where he went without paying attention.
Zhou Zheng naturally brought the guards, and they stared at him secretly, and Zhou Zheng didn't worry much.
Zhou Zheng was followed by Shangguan Xun, who also celebrated the New Year in Tianjin Wei.
Shangguanxun looked at the children with a smile on his face, and said to Zhou Zheng as he walked: "Li Shangshu has agreed that we will issue banknotes and will stand for us. Before the imperial court discussed rates, some people proposed a sea ban, and the imperial court agreed. Cheng Treasurer I plan to go to Guangdong, but I am not familiar with the place where I am born, and I still need help from my owner."
In private, Shangguanxun called Zhou Zheng his boss, and Zhou Zheng called him his father-in-law.
Zhou Zheng looked at the front, paced, and said, "I'll find an inner jailer, and then replace the guard station in Guangdong with ours. In this way, there is basically no problem."
Shangguanxun's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a good way. If you have an internal supervisor, you won't be afraid of chaos."
Zhou Zheng hummed, and said, "Nanjing should do the same. You can trust people. Although the court has imposed a sea ban, we still have to keep a low profile. We must hide what should be hidden. Also, guard against the Ministry of Households."
Shangguanxun listened to the last words with a solemn expression, and said, "Well, Tianjin Guardian don't worry. Only I know the Kuyin Tibetan area in the capital, and Cheng Treasurer avoids suspicion and did not intervene. Nanjing is also hidden tightly, and the court really wants to tear it. You can’t get much from your face."
These Zhou Zheng had taken precautions a long time ago, and he nodded slightly, saying: "The expenditure in the past two years will be relatively large, and there will be more money to reserve. The pressure is not small, you have to think of ways."
Shangguanxun glanced around and whispered: "We also gained a lot in the Northwest World War. We didn't have time to deal with a lot of things, and we didn't return the money. In half a year, at least two or three million yuan could be returned."
Zhou Zheng is still not clear about this. He raised his brows, smiled, and said, "That would be great. Continue to buy food. The more you hoard, the better. Only money is available. As long as there is food on the market, Buy them all for me."
Shangguanxun didn't even know Zhou Zheng's thoughts, and acted according to orders: "Okay, I'll let the grain shop under my hand do it."
At this moment, Xiao Dezhen and his sister Xiao Jingyuan suddenly jumped out, both holding swords in their hands, and shouted at Zhou Zheng: "Who is coming, report your name!"
Shangguan Xun was startled, unable to speak, Zhou Zheng lifted his right hand, pinched his waist with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "The final commander of Daming Ji Liao, who is Zhou Zheng and Zhou Zhengyun, who are you?"
Xiao Deshou stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Qianfeng Avenue of the Ming Zhou Army, Zhou Deshou!"
Xiao Jingyuan took another step, stood beside his brother, raised his face, raised his head, and shouted: "I am the female general of the Ming Zhou army, Zhou Jingyuan!"
Zhou Zheng saw the two little guys seemingly, clasped his fists, and said, "Fortunately, I can't fight, goodbye!"
With that, he turned around and left.
The two little guys couldn't help it anymore, and laughed loudly, Xiao Jingyuan ran over to hold Zhou Zheng and laughed and shouted: "Liar, when did you run away, Second Uncle!"
Xiao Deshou followed and said, "Yes, yeah, my grandfather said that the second uncle who beat Jianlu was frightened. I have no second person!"
Zhou Zheng took the two little guys and said with a smile: "Second Uncle was also asking for a bargain. At most it was a tie. In the future, you will avenge your Second Uncle and capture the Thief Chief back to Second Uncle!"
As soon as Xiao Deshou received the sword, he said with a deep face, "Well, I promised my second uncle."
Xiao Jingyuan quickly let go of Zhou Zheng and shouted in a crisp voice, "I also promised my second uncle."
Zhou Zheng smiled, turning his head to see his son also coming, and said: "Shen'er, how about you?"
Xiao Deshen is only six years old, more like his mother, white and pure, and said with a small face upside down: "Father, grandpa said, to be a man to be a master, I am not a general, I am a man."
Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, ambitious! As expected of my son Zhou Zhengyun!"
The little guy was immediately happy. He raised his head and walked seriously beside Zhou Zheng.
Shangguanxun watched the scene with a smile on his face, and he was also relieved and sighed with emotion.
When he saw Zhou Zheng for the first time, he was still in prison. At first glance, he felt that this young man was not suitable for his daughter, and that Zhou Zheng was intimidating his daughter.
Later, Zhou Zheng made his fortune. He felt inferior because of his background. Later, Zhou Zheng and Shangguanqing were married, and Shangguanxun worried about his daughter.
Zhou's family is the home of Qinggui, and his daughter is too lonely. If the backyard fights for favor, his daughter is afraid that there will be no good results.
Today, their son is six or seven years old, and that young man has become one of the most important ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Time flies so fast..." Shangguan Xun smiled while looking at the cheerful back of Zhou Zheng with a few children.
At this moment, Shangguan Lie was holding candied haws in his mouth, and walked over and said vaguely: "Father, what are you talking about?"
Shangguanxun looked at this son, and immediately stopped beating.
With a big brother-in-law like Zhou Zheng, the brother-in-law of Shangguan Lie should logically be like the people around Zhou Zheng.
By the way, this kid is not stingy. He has no righteousness all day long. He is almost thirty years old, and he is still a fool. Some of the things arranged for him can be done very well, and some are messed up, and there is no qualitativeness at all.
Shangguanxun glanced at him irritably, and said, "Where is your son? Take your sister. Shen'er is going to study and needs someone to accompany him."
Shangguan Lie glanced in front of him and said, "Isn't Shen'er accompanied by his brother and children from the Liuzhe family? Why do you want my son to go... Ouch..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by Shangguanxun.
Shangguanxun hated iron for not making steel, and stared at Shangguanlie's angry expression.
Shangguan Lie looked confused when he was kicked, rubbing his legs and said: "Father, you..."
At this time, Zhou Zheng heard the voice turning his head and shouting: "My father-in-law, what's the matter?"
Shangguanxun's anger turned his head and turned into a gentle spring breeze, and said, "It's okay, he stunned."
Zhou Zheng glanced, smiled, and walked forward with a few children.
Shangguan Lie still looked inexplicable.
Shangguan Xun sighed inwardly, when will this son be able to resuscitate
Zhou Zheng spent the Lantern Festival happily here. The court, which was supposed to take a vacation, did not stop. The struggle for power in the Northwest became more and more fierce, and another heavyweight fell.
Zhou Zuo, the Book Merchant of the Ministry of Etiquette, was dragged down by the governor of Huguang and was dismissed from office. He was formerly the Book of Ministers, but his successor, Zhuang Qinlin, was also faltering.
Shoufu Zhang Zhifa didn't seem to know that he had been bored by Chongzhen, and he was still trying his best to keep Zhuang Qin's neighbor, the official secretary, and all the methods were used to make a lot of noise inside and outside the capital.
At the end of January, Zhou Yanru entered Beijing by water and arrived in Tianjin Wei on the second day of February.
Originally, Zhou Zheng, Sun Chuanting, etc. thought that Zhang Zhifa should be able to last until March. With Zhou Yanru's sudden arrival, both of them understood.
This first assistant, I am afraid that February will not be able to survive. (End of this chapter)
