Under the withered vines, on the ancient roadside.
Brother Zhang turned around and walked away.
Maybe he was also disappointed.
Come with great ambition.
Returning to his hometown in fine clothes, he is preparing to take his family to enjoy the blessings of Tiandao Sect.
When leaving.
Alone, wandering alone.
This is also inevitable.
Plans can never keep up with changes.
If there was no Zhang Heng.
Everyone is hungry and full.
To survive.
Not to mention the Tiandao Sect, you can also go to the Purgatory Sect.
But now.
Luoyang already has two hectares of farmland.
The future is bright and the future is promising.
Who would bet on an uncertain future?
"Brother, once I leave, I don't know when I can come back."
at home.
The second brother stood at the door and sighed.
Among the Zhang family members, he is the one who wants to go to Tiandao Sect the most.
It's a pity that I was stopped.
Zhang Heng didn't say anything else, he just said: "Tiandao Sect wants to rebel, are you sure you want to be a pawn?"
Brother Zhang then backed down.
After all, he is not Brother Zhang.
I don't have the temperament to go out and make a living at the age of sixteen or seventeen with two steamed buns.
Thinking that the Tiandao Sect where my eldest brother belonged was a Taoist sect that was wanted by the imperial court and was secretly engaged in rebellion, I hesitated and finally did not dare.
"It's okay not to go."
"I can't write two pieces in one sentence. My eldest brother said that he is doing well in Tiandao Sect. If you don't go, he will definitely give you a hand if he achieves success in the future."
"In that case, what's the difference between going or not going?"
Zhang Heng stood aside: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and Tiandao Sect is not a kind place. If my eldest brother wants to break into it, let him go. It's better for us to live an honest life."
The second brother was leaning against the door.
Think about Zhang Heng's words, and then think about the elder brother's back.
I didn't know where I heard two paragraphs of storytelling, and said with emotion: "Brother is gone, I wonder if there will be a day to see you again."
Zhang Heng glanced at his second brother.
Didn't speak.
Go inside to see the two elders.
inside the house.
The third sister held the soles of her shoes a little helplessly.
Hu Mengmeng rolled around on the bed and played with himself.
The old couple were sitting on chairs. You looked at me and I looked at you, both feeling very depressed.
"Still thinking about big brother?"
Seeing that the second elder was in a bad mood.
Zhang Heng comforted him and said, "Big brother said, never forget the kindness of raising me. I will come back when you succeed in cultivation."
Hear this.
Father Zhang sighed repeatedly: "Speaking of the kindness of raising him, if he gets into trouble outside, it's fine if it doesn't involve us."
Well...
Zhang Heng didn't expect Zhang's father to have this idea.
"The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh."
"The eldest is, the second is, your third sister, and you are all the same. None of them were picked from the trash."
Mother Zhang was worried: "The court has said that if there are monks and Taoists in our family, we will destroy the three tribes. Your eldest brother has gone to the Taoist sect of that day. If disaster strikes one day, our old arms and legs will not matter. Instead, it will be you who do it."
Brothers, you are still young, so I’m afraid you can’t get away with it.”
"It's not that serious."
Zhang Heng pulled Hu Mengmeng over and held him in his arms: "What the government hates are the monks who are against the imperial court. It's terrible, but it's impossible to kill them all with one shot. There are still many monks who seek refuge with the imperial court."
Ouch...
The little tiger is having fun.
Being pulled over by Zhang Heng, he rubbed his little face for a while. Unable to avoid feeling a little bored, he pushed Zhang Heng outwards with his paws.
"Furthermore."
Zhang Heng ignored the resistance of the little tiger, and while playing with it, he said: "Isn't there still Mengmeng? After all, Mengmeng is also the Prince of the North who was personally granted by the imperial court. She lives in the compound. Some people just know something, and in their hearts
I also have concerns about the face.”
Hear the sound.
Hu Mengmeng raised her head, looking like I was very powerful.
Hear this.
The old couple felt at ease, thought for a while and said: "I originally planned to help your third sister to get married in the spring of next year. There is no rush to get married. But after thinking about it, I won't delay it. Next year, your third sister will be married."
She's only sixteen, and she's not too young anymore, so why not let her get married in the spring."
Zhang Heng looked back at the third sister.
The third sister lowered her head to pick up the soles of her shoes and seemed not to hear.
But her face was red, even to the roots of her ears, and it didn't look like she hadn't heard anything.
"What do you think, Third Sister?"
Zhang Heng asked.
"me..."
The third sister has been eavesdropping.
Hearing the voice, he was a little embarrassed. The girl was thin-faced and found it difficult to answer.
Just think about it.
I am also afraid that if I say a few idealistic words, everyone will take me seriously.
After thinking about it, I got anxious and blurted out: "I do."
Well...
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment.
As expected, I am a female college student, and I will not be deceived by the ancients.
This is what everyone in the Zhang family is willing to do.
If you don't want to.
Look at this picture of the third sister: "We are connected by heart. You and I have made a promise for a hundred years. Whoever wants to die at the age of ninety-seven will wait for three years on the Naihe Bridge."
not sure.
If the old couple doesn't agree here, they can jump over the wall and run away with Brother Zhu at night.
"Female college graduates are not allowed to stay."
"You just locked her at home and locked her up on the second floor."
"She would jump off a building and still go out with someone. That's how it is when you're in a deep relationship. It makes no sense at all."
Zhang Heng traveled all over the country.
Saw a lot.
Thinking of the childhood sweethearts of the third sister and the second brother Zhu, she nodded and said: "Since the third sister is willing, let's get married next spring. From the current perspective, the second brother Zhu is considered a good match."
Talking about the third sister’s marriage.
Zhang's mother was in trouble again: "Fourth brother, have you asked your second brother about his errands?"
Said.
Zhang's mother was a little short of breath again: "I can't count on your eldest brother. You are young. It's hard to say what you will be like when you go in and out of the Marquis Mansion in the future. Although your second brother is a little greedy and lazy, he still has dad in his eyes.
Damn it, I’m not an unfilial son who beats his father and scolds his mother, I can’t say..."
Opened several times.
The rest of the words were not spoken.
aside.
Zhang's father was a little anxious when he saw it, and said in a low voice: "To speak as a farmer, your eldest brother and you both have a bright future. We are far apart, and we don't know where we will be in the future. Your second brother is not good and has many problems."
, but when it comes to providing for retirement, I think it depends on him the most."
Zhang Heng listened.
There was no rebuttal.
Talk about filial piety.
Brother Zhang came back this time with three hundred taels of gold and some elixirs for longevity.
If compared.
The second brother was greedy and lazy. When he went out to work, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets.
Don't talk about making money for your family to support your family.
If he has enough money for himself, it is good if he does not complain about his poverty to his family.
But when you get old, you have to be filial.
After much deliberation, Zhang Heng decided it had to be his second brother.
It's too far away to say.
I had a headache and fever at night.
The eldest brother is far away in Tiandao Sect, and he also lives in the Hou Mansion.
If you ask for a drink of water, your second brother has to bring it to you. Water from afar cannot quench your thirst. This is the case with filial piety.
"Second brother's errand, I have already planned it for him."
"There is indeed a vacancy for a yamen officer at the county government. I'm going to use some money to find him a quick-service room, and there is a vacancy for the horse patrol."
Zhang Heng explained: "The county government has three classes, the Zaoban room, the Zhuang class room, and the fast class room."
"The Zaobanfang is responsible for standing guard and doing the internal work. The county magistrate calls for the class to be promoted, and those who shout "powerful" are the ones.
"The strong squad room is responsible for the guards who go out and the county government to carry out executions. It is equivalent to the bodyguard."
"And this fast squad room is responsible for detecting thieves, hunting down, and catching fast, that's how it comes about."
"In the fast squad room, it is subdivided into infantry police officers and horse army police officers."
"The infantry policemen do not have horses. They are on duty on foot. They carry swords and swords on their hips and patrol the streets to give warnings."
"The Ma Jun police officers have horses, get an extra subsidy, and have a higher status. They ride on horses and patrol the streets all day long. They are considered the elite among the fast class police officers."
Zhang Heng paused for a moment: "It's not interesting to start patrolling directly from the bottom. I'm thinking that if my second brother wants to do it, he should start from the horse army in Huwang Town."
"Ma Tian rides on horseback and parades through the streets, leading five or six infantrymen carrying swords on patrol. He is a head catcher, big and small, and he has a lot of respect in this three-acre area of Tiger King Town."
"this..."
Father Zhang muttered to himself, "I remember that in our Tiger King town, there was an infantry leader and eight infantry patrols. There was no cavalry leader?"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "That's because the second brother didn't come before. Now that the second brother has come, things are naturally different. The establishment problem is easy to solve. If there is nothing to set up, it will be nothing."
The tone paused slightly.
Zhang Heng added: "In the future, Tiger King Town will become more and more prosperous. Not to mention the horse army arresting the head, even the patrol house will be built. After it is built, the scale of the establishment will be expanded. I am thinking about it.
Everything is in place, but it is not enough without seventy infantry troops patrolling on foot and thirty cavalry troops patrolling."
After spring.
Zhang Henghui will lift the mountain ban and allow mountain people to enter the mountains to make a living.
Eat the mountain by relying on the mountain.
If there are too many merchants traveling from north to south, Huwang Town will not develop even if it is not developed.
The more people there are, the more prosperous the economy will be.
The market is prone to chaos and breeds bandits.
As in the past, it was impossible for an infantry leader to lead seven or eight patrols to manage a town, plus ten miles and eight villages.
certainly.
As for whether Brother Zhang has the ability to lead a patrol team of hundreds of people.
How could he not.
There are so many experienced police officers in the county.
Transfer five or six people here, one to take charge of twenty people, and serve as deputy to Brother Zhang. Even though he drinks like a drunk cat every day, the patrol room cannot be in chaos. How can he not do a good job?
