Chapter 23: Heavy work(2/2)
Live again, this time for yourself."
Zhang Chong heard it, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at the five-foot-tall man in the audience. He thought of the old man's dying smile and suddenly understood something.
He nodded and said to Tian Dayong:
"I'll give you a unique name, Tian Jun, with the courtesy name Dayong. From now on, you will be both Tian Dayong and Tian Jun.
Don’t underestimate yourself, encourage yourself to live up to the name your father gave you.”
After saying that, Zhang Chong stopped looking at Tian Jun.
Tian Da used his name and saw that Zhang Chong was busy, so he carefully withdrew.
He had to go and bury his old father, and then he and Zhang Dan would take the food back.
He really forgot how long it had been since he went back.
As a relative of Zhang Chong, his younger father, Zhang Bingnan, has become the butler of this team without hesitation.
At this moment, he was leading a few young men from Da Sang Village to quickly count the prisoners on the wheat field.
Check the prisoner's physical condition from time to time. If he is not nodding, he is shaking his head.
Duman also took stock of the materials in the warehouse and handed them over to Zhang Bingnan after completing the register.
Chen Huan also led a group of people to finish counting the supplies in the arsenal and handed them over to his father.
Zhang Bingnan took three brochures, ran to the stage, and said to Zhang Chong with a smile:
"Second son, we have become rich, look at how much we have seized."
After saying that, he handed the booklet to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong glanced at him and smiled:
"Millet, 27,000 shi; money, 1,723,000 qian; strings, 600 bolts, coarse salt, 300 shi, and some iron, copper, and lacquerware.
There are two hundred and ten young men, and forty-six young women, as well as young and old.
Finally, there are weapons, including three hundred and sixty knives, ten bows, thirty axes, three hundred sword heads, and two hundred whistle sticks and large stiles.
Then came the large animals, including four horses, six donkeys, seven oxen, thirty fat pigs, and three hundred chickens.”
In short, this time, their team no longer has to worry about food and drink for a short time.
Taking advantage of the high morale, Zhang Chong happened to discuss something with everyone. He asked Li Wu, who was accompanying him, to call several key members to the stage.
In a moment, Du Man, Zhang Dan, Ding Sheng, Hei Fu, Chen Huan, Yang Mao, and Wang Zhang all arrived, plus their younger fathers Zhang Bingnan and Li Wu who were originally there.
The backbone of the team are all here now.
He looked around at the people present, and they looked at him with expressions of relief, awe, admiration, or affirmation.
Zhang Chong was certain that his prestige was stabilized after the battle at Xuejiabi.
He cleared his throat and said to everyone:
"Now we have several important matters to discuss with you.
First of all, the first one is how to go forward;
Then, the second one is how to deal with the current prisoners;
Finally, it’s about how to reorganize our team.
Each of these is very important. I want to discuss it with everyone. You can share your thoughts first.
Come on, Ding Sheng, you go first. Seeing that you are in a hurry, you go first."
With that said, Zhang Chong nodded to Ding Shengming, just because he hesitated to speak several times.
When Ding Sheng was named, he didn't shirk. He started to praise him and said:
"Let's go ahead and do something big indeed. Before, we were at a loss and in a hurry.
What now?
After punching the head like this, you can see that there is nothing left.
As for the three points that Chongtou said, I don’t have much idea, as long as I agree with what Chongtou said.”
After saying that, Ding Sheng smiled shyly and sat down.
Zhang Chong was helpless. He thought this ranger could make some suggestions, but he didn't expect him to be a flatterer.
But it's okay, if he opens up the atmosphere, everyone can relax a bit.
Just as Zhang Chong thought, everyone laughed after Ding Sheng finished speaking.
Only a few honest people, such as Wang Zhang and Li Wu, felt that what Ding Sheng said was reasonable and kept nodding.
Chapter completed!
