Chapter thirty-seven: building momentum [Chapter three
The group of people quickly walked to the road outside the village. In the ditch next to it, a young man who looked to be about 13 or 14 years old was catching loaches. He raised his head and looked at the crowd. When he saw Zhang Shaozong and Zhang Jizong, the young man's eyes were shocked and he shouted with some uncertainty.
road.
"Brother Shaozong, Brother Jizong!"
"Xiaohu." Zhang Shaozong smiled at the young man and recognized him as the son of an uncle in the village, named Zhang Xiaohu: "Go and help me inform the second master and several uncles that your step-brother and I are back.
I brought some gifts for everyone."
Then he took out two pieces of ocean from his pocket and threw them into his hands.
"I'll keep this for you to buy something later."
"Thank you, Brother Shaozong!"
When Zhang Xiaohu saw that it was the ocean, he suddenly showed a look of unstoppable surprise. Then he quickly responded and ran towards the village, shouting as he ran.
"Brother Shaozong is back! Brother Shaozong and Brother Jizong are back!..."
Zhang Xiaohu shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran towards the village. At this moment, the entire Zhangjia Village suddenly understood and started talking about it as they looked at the oncoming team.
"It turns out that Shaozong and Jizong are back. Who are they?"
"If I remember correctly, it seems that Shaozong and Ji Zong have been away for three or four years. When Qisheng passed away, the two brothers said they wanted to go out and have a try."
"Looking at it like this, it looks like I've made a fortune."
"That's for sure. Brother Shaozong gave me two oceans just now. By the way, Brother Shaozong said he also brought gifts for everyone. I'll go and inform the eldest uncle, second uncle and the others first."
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu ran to the village gate. Hearing the discussion of a group of people at the gate, he immediately said proudly, and then hurriedly ran into the village. Little did he know that this proud voice would be confiscated by his parents after two yuan.
.
Not long after, Zhang Shaozong and his party walked to the door. By this time, the news had spread throughout Zhangjia Village. Almost everyone gathered at the village door, led by five old men with white hair and simple, shabby clothes.
"Oh, it's really Shaozong. It's unmistakable. Look at that face. It's been good-looking since childhood. It's unmistakable. It's Shaozong who is the most popular with little girls."
At this time, Zhang Shaozong had already stepped down from the carriage. He was wearing a straight suit and his hair was combed with hair wax into a hairstyle similar to that of Zun Long. However, he was more handsome and stylish than Zun Long. At one glance, anyone could not help but admire him.
A handsome young man.
"And Ji Zong, he has been so fat since he was a child, and he hasn't changed at all."
Oh shit!
Zhang Jizong, who got off the carriage with Zhang Shaozong, staggered when he heard these words. His good mood suddenly deteriorated. His appearance and figure have always been a pain for him since he was a child, especially with Zhang Shaozong, his younger brother.
A comparison really made him feel a sense of injustice.
They are both born to the same father and mother, so why is there such a big difference?
"First uncle, second uncle, second grandpa, third uncle, fifth uncle, I am the Young Master. Do you remember that my eldest brother and I are back."
The five old men headed by Zhang Shaozong walked towards the village gate. They were the five eldest elders in their Zhangjia Village, and they were also his uncles and grandfathers, the eldest uncle Zhang Chengde, the second uncle Zhang Youxing, the second uncle Zhang Chengli, the third uncle Zhang Zhengcheng, the fifth uncle Zhang Pengyi,
Among them, the second grandfather Zhang Youxing is the biological brother of the two grandfathers of Zhang Shaozong and Zhang Jizong brothers, ranking second, so they are also called the second grandfather.
"First uncle, second uncle, second grandpa, third uncle, fifth uncle."
Zhang Jizong also came up.
Although the five old men were older, their brains were not confused and their bodies were relatively strong. They recognized the two brothers and saw that they had great potential. They couldn't help being excited and happy, especially as the second grandfather of the two.
Zhang Youxing.
"Okay, okay, I'm promising, I'm promising. We finally have someone in Zhangjiacun."
The five old people were very happy. As the elders of the entire Zhangjia Village, their biggest wish was for their descendants to succeed, and now they can see it.
"Second Grandpa, four uncles, it's sunny outside, let's go into the village to talk. It just so happens that I brought some gifts for everyone when I came back this time."
Zhang Shaozong said again. At this time, Huang Baibai, who was behind, had also asked people to unload the things on the carriage, which was full of wine, meat and rice.
"Brother, give me everything first."
Zhang Jizong nodded, and then called Yuanbao. The people brought by Aying and Huang Wanwan helped bring out a cart of cut pork and bagged rice that had been prepared in advance and distributed it to the people of Zhangjia Village present. They were distributed according to each household.
One piece of pork and one bag of rice. One piece of pork is about five or six kilograms, and one piece of rice is ten kilograms. There are more than 200 households in the entire Zhangjia Village. If this is distributed to the entire village, it will take more than a thousand kilograms of pork and two kilograms of rice.
More than a thousand kilograms of rice.
However, these are not big problems for Zhang Shaozong. Today, the price of rice in Hunan is 3 cents, and the price of meat is 1 jiao. The total cost of these pork and rice is about 200 yuan, which is just a drop in his current family property.
The most important thing is to win people's hearts and let people see that he is now rich, so that when he recruits others, they will be more willing to join him.
For his second grandfather and the other four uncles, Zhang Shaozong specially prepared pig legs, giving each of the five an extra pig leg.
Half an hour later, pork and rice were delivered to every household in the village.
Zhang Shaozong, his second grandfather Zhang Youxing, his eldest uncle Zhang Chengde, his second uncle Zhang Chengli, his third uncle Zhang Zhengcheng, and his fifth uncle Zhang Pengyi were sitting in the village ancestral hall talking. They were accompanied by many uncles and uncles from the village.
The topic was mainly about the situation of brothers Zhang Shaozong and Zhang Jizong in recent years, such as what they did, where they made their fortune, etc.
Regarding these issues, Zhang Shaozong and his eldest brother had already discussed their arguments. They said that they had gone to Guangdong, Guangxi and Nanyang in the past few years, had done business for a few years and made some money, and now they were coming back to do business in their hometown.
"Although I have made some money outside with my eldest brother over the years, and the business has been doing well, no matter how good the outside is, it is still not as cordial as the one at home, and the people outside can't believe it, and they will never be as good as my own family.
, and you are always thinking about the people who will rob you of your money and harm you."
"So, second grandpa, four uncles, my eldest brother and I have already discussed it. We don't plan to leave anymore. We will stay and do business in our Wuling, based on our Zhangjia Village. As long as our Zhang family is willing to
If you follow me, I promise to earn at least five oceans a month, so that everyone can earn money and have food to eat. Not only will they eat, but they will also eat meat in the future. The better they do, the better, so that our entire Zhang family can
All become stronger..."
As soon as Zhang Shaozong said this, everyone present became excited. Life is difficult these days, and their whole Zhangjia Village is poor. They usually barely have enough to eat twice a day, and they can make two or three oceans a month. Zhang Shaozong
At this moment, he directly asked for a salary of five oceans a month, which made the group unhappy, and the most important thing was that Zhang Shaozong's words also gave everyone hope.
No one doubted Zhang Shaozong's words. After all, the food and wine just showed everyone Zhang Shaozong's financial resources. In addition, everyone's surname is Zhang and they belong to the same clan. These people basically watched Zhang Shaozong grow up when he was a child.
Want to believe.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Whatever you want to do next, Shaozong, just tell me. If you want someone, you can call me as you please. I, the old man, will be at your disposal. If anyone dares to disobey, I will break his legs for you first."
Zhang Chengde, the eldest and most prestigious uncle, spoke immediately. After speaking, he looked at the Zhang clan members present and said.
"You have also heard that now that Shaozong and Jizong have become rich, they have not forgotten us. They want to lead everyone to become rich together. If there is anyone who does not know good and bad things in the future, I will be the first to kill him."
"Yes, it doesn't matter that our Zhang family is poor, but we must know our kindness and work together. Your uncle also said this, and this is what I mean. From now on, you must listen carefully to Shaozong's words. If anyone dares to disobey, don't say it's our Zhang family.
Family people.”
The second uncle, Zhang Chengli, also followed and glanced sternly at all the clan members present.
"I'm exaggerating. Uncle, what I said is serious. We are all one family. Our Zhang family cannot write the second surname in a single character. I also believe you. As long as you are willing to believe me, Shaozong and I will not do anything else."
I can guarantee it, but I guarantee that I will never treat you badly and make our entire Zhang family stronger."
Zhang Shaozong said, and the other Zhang family members present also spoke immediately.
"Uncle, second uncle, don't worry. As long as Shaozong orders us again, we will do whatever we are told."
"Don't worry, Young Master. We all obey you. Just tell us what you want to do next. We will definitely support you. If anyone is disobedient, he will not be our Zhang family member from now on."
"Yes, our Zhang family has nothing but unity. Shaozong, please tell us what to do."
“…..”
The crowd at the scene was excited and their eyes were hot. Looking at Zhang Shaozong, they just wanted to have a big fight with Zhang Shaozong right now.
"Okay, here are my brothers, sisters, elders and uncles, all of the Zhang family, close relatives of the same clan. Since everyone believes in Shaozong, I will never let you down. But don't rush to do the specifics. I will do it next
Let’s put on the banquet first, let’s all eat and drink first, we’ll talk about the details later.”
