"Zhang Jiuliu, the general will let you pass." The person who spread the word glanced at Zhang Jiuliu, envy and jealous in his heart. The four brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiuli is now a ten thousand chief, the next three brothers, Zhang The Ninth Five-Year Plan was just an ordinary soldier. Zhang Jiuliu had been promoted to the rank of platoon leader a few days ago. Zhang Jiuqi was not good at fighting, but he was good at reading and literacy. He worshipped Director Song as his teacher.

Zhang Jiuliu is also confused by some two-zhang monks.

He was born tall and sturdier than his eldest brother. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks very honest. He always rushes to the front for military merit when he goes on the battlefield. He also married a wife. He was rewarded with a big house. Ten or eight, the house can live in.

Zhang Jiuliu worried that he had done something wrong, so he followed the person who sent the message in anxious manner, and thought about it all the way.

It should be a good thing. If it is a bad thing, it is not the person who sends the message, but the soldier to arrest him. He is also a platoon leader. If there is a big mistake, a review meeting will be held.

When Zhang Jiuliu returned to the dormitory in a dazed manner, the colleagues in the dormitory asked him enthusiastically: "What's wrong? But you are going to be promoted again? The battalion commander will be the battalion commander when you go up. Then you have to be age. The youngest battalion commander is really versatile."

Zhang Jiuliu looked at him blankly, and said, "General, let me go to Gaoyou."

"Why did you go to Gaoyou? The soldiers on Gaoyou almost don't fight and don't have much military merit. Go there and stay safe."

"Yes, although you can't get military merit, you don't need to tie your head to your waistband."

The colleagues were comforting him. After all, if he was the platoon leader when he went to Gaoyou, it would be equivalent to demoted.

Zhang Jiuliu swallowed, "The general asked me to take 10,000 people to Gaoyou."

"what?!"

"Zhang Jiuliu! Are you going to be the captain?!"

They stared at Zhang Jiuliu, as if the person who faced each other day and night suddenly grew three heads and six arms.

Zhang Jiuliu couldn't restrain his mood, he always admired his elder brother.

From his point of view, the eldest brother is almost omnipotent, righteous, tall, and after the eldest brother became a ten thousand chief, he also wondered if one day he could become a ten thousand chief, does that mean that he and the eldest brother are the same person? ?Can he be shoulder to shoulder with Big Brother?

"By the way, you are all promoted this time, should you change your name?" a fellow asked.

Zhang Jiuliu smiled and said: "I thought about it a long time ago. My eldest brother said that our brother can come here because of a person who has the same surname as ours. If it weren't for him, we would not have today. My eldest brother would have used that one. The name of the benefactor."

"Zhang Shicheng."

"Our brothers are named after this. The second brother is called Zhang Shixin, my name is Zhang Shide, and the younger brother is Zhang Shiyi."

Colleagues: "This name! Honesty, virtue, good name!"

Zhang Shide said with a smile: "My elder brother thought about it."

Someone next to him said: "It's a pity that some people have nothing to do with the letter."

Zhang Shide was taken aback, and immediately knew who the other party was talking about, and asked: "My second brother is going to gamble again?"

That person: "Who said no, you got a house last time, didn’t you give it to him? Yesterday he went to the gambling game, and when he left, he lost the house you gave to others. If I say, you shouldn’t Give him something, he is still your second brother, not as good as your younger brother."

Zhang Shide also had a headache. His second brother was not like his elder brother. Since his eldest brother became the head of ten thousand, he did not know who his surname was, and he became arrogant.

Now he has become a ten thousand chief, second brother guesses...

When Zhang Shide thought of this, he couldn't help showing a miserable face. Gambling was not a big deal, and most of them were fined when they were caught.

But it's only in the past few years that there is a shortage of people and soldiers. In the future, the world is peaceful, and the second brother still likes to gamble. What can I do?

"Let me tell you, your second brother is not a material for serving as a soldier. It's better to ask him to stay at home. The monthly salary you and your elder brother receive is enough to support him, so don't ask him to tire you out then."

"Exactly, think about it yourself."

Zhang Shide first thanked his colleagues before packing up and preparing to leave.

He thought clearly. The general told him to go to Gaoyou. It must not be for him to enjoy the past. If there is nothing wrong with Gaoyou, the original staff will be enough, and Gaoyou will only ask him to go if something happens.

Soldiers can only go up by fighting, and if there is no battle to fight, they don't know how long it will take to climb up.

Although it is not a good job to be a soldier now, it is not a hard job either.

As a soldier now, you can earn military merit. As long as you are not timid, you can basically earn some money. When you retreat, you can live a few years of leisure. Even if you don’t look for things to do, you won’t be hungry. When the day is ordered to die, these soldiers will retreat, and they will arrange things for them.

Days have rushed, and soldiers are not spending money as they did before. There are fewer betting people. They want to save more money. When they return later, they can buy a bigger house and get married. Daughter-in-law, have a few children, it's okay if you can't marry a wife.

Gaoyou was the first place where Nan Bodhisattva started. The atmosphere of Gaoyou has almost spread to other places, especially the fact that women can set up households. Since women can also set up households and are eligible to own property, women have changed. There are some large families and scholars. I think that women have become untamed. They were sheep in the first place, and they will go wherever the herder drives them.

At home from the father, married from the husband, they can't live without a man, there is no place for single women to survive.

But now it’s different. Once they reach adulthood, many women who can set up their own households have set up their own households. Five or six years ago, who would have thought that this would become so common. When they walk down the street, it’s common for single women to do business. Most of them are in groups, and the sisters who were in a good relationship before the establishment of the account are each other's arms.

The more developed the economy, the later the age of marriage. Gaoyou is considered to be the most developed place. There is salt, and now it has the embryonic form of a market economy. Not all people go to work in various factories, and they start business by themselves. Gaoyou originally had a laundry room dedicated to washing clothes for soldiers.

After setting up a household, a few women felt that this was a way to make money, so they invited aunts to open a laundry room together.

In the beginning, no one asked them to wash their clothes, so they went door to door and prepared some small snacks, which were not very valuable, but they were more sincere than knocking on the door empty-handed. In short, this was the first order.

Almost everyone in Gaoyou has a job. Slowly, many people find that sending clothes to wash can save themselves bad time. After all, washing clothes is not easy work.

Soon, their laundry rooms became larger and larger, and more and more workers were hired, not only from Gaoyou, but also throughout Taizhou.

No one can think that they will succeed.

Their success has given a boost to the market economy.

Many people work in the factory while looking for work outside. Many people want to do business.

Chu Lin is now taking care of these things. Since Song Shizhao left, these burdens have fallen on his head. Although there are people left by Song Shizhao underneath, Chu Lin will take care of everything, lest something happens to get tired. Own, this won him a reputation, and women like him.

Some women even caused some ridiculous troubles in order to see him more times.

People around him often make fun of him because of this, saying that if he is a woman, he must be a demon concubine who will harm the country and the people.

At this moment, Chu Lin looked at the woman in front of him with a serious face, he had learned to pretend, at least he looked like an indifferent and honest "adult".

The woman's surname was Li, but she didn't have a big name. After setting up her account, she named herself Li Shengnan.

She is in a deli business and runs a dozen shops. She came here today to pay the tax.

Li Shengnan looked weak, but the shrewdness of a business man flashed in her eyes. She sat opposite Chu Lin, looking neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "My lord, this is the account book of the last season. I have already let the accountant take care of it. I’m going to pay a tax of 1,600 taels."

Those who can be met by Chu Lin in person are all big businessmen, and they must pay at least five hundred taels before they can see him.

Li Shengnan also said: "There is still something to discuss with the adults. I want to rent the open space in the north of the city and build a house for the employees."

Chu Lin took a sip of tea, "How many years do you want to rent?"

Li Shengnan smiled towards Chu Lin: "Forty years."

Every ten years is a watershed, and prices will rise a lot.

Chu Lin said to her, "That's not a small amount of money."

Li Shengnan sighed: "I'm in a small business, and the employees come here from difficult times. Most of them come from poor families. They sell my life to me, so I will naturally treat them better."

This is bargaining with Chu Lin.

Chu Lin smiled and said, "Boss Li is righteous."

Li Shengnan hurriedly waved his hand: "What is righteousness called? Nan Bodhisattva is righteousness, and what ordinary people like us can do is limited."

Chu Lin: "Boss Li has humbled himself."

"There are some people who have retired from the barracks on my side." Chu Lin said, "There are those with lame legs or those with broken arms, but they have a lot of strength and don't affect their work."

Li Shengnan lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking. After a while, he said, "Business is not easy now, and I can only accept another twenty people."

Chu Lin: "Then Boss Li will go back and wait for the news. There are many people who want to rent the land in the north of the city."

Li Shengnan: "My lord! This matter can still be discussed, sixty people, really can't be more!"

Chu Lin picked up the tea cup and covered the corner of his mouth: "Boss Li, come with me and sign the land deed."

Li Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief. She was born in a small family. She lost her father since childhood and was brought up by her mother. Her mother was born in a merchant family. She felt that money was the greatest truth in the world. He Puzi, and taught his daughter personally. Li Shengnan grew up under these conditions. If there is no accident, he will do everything possible to control the money and the store if he marries in the future.

As a result, the Nan Bodhisattva came, and she didn't have to marry, she could also set up a household like a man and earn her own money.

Even her mother said to her, "I'm not as lucky as you. When luck comes, you have to take it."

Li Shengnan agreed.

Gaoyou's economy is developing rapidly.

Become a jaw-dropping behemoth.
