King Zhou didn''t care whether he cut meat from the big merchant or not. He just wanted to meet Wen Zhong''s requirements and send him out as soon as possible without delaying his enjoyment.

    Wen Zhong was helpless to see that his good intentions had not been seen by King Zhou. In the East China Sea crisis, one after another, Wen Zhong had to leave and told Huang Feihu to watch the Chaoge and wait for him to come back.

    In fact, even if Wen Zhong has left, the reward of the trick will not be less. In recent years, Master Zhang has been able to move steadily and continuously. There are a lot of gold and silver sent to Fei Zhong and you Hun''s residence. Every year, the weapons made by the trick are sent. They also sent a lot of good things to Daji and King Zhou in the palace.

    He has been the commander of Yinzhou for ten years, which has made Yinzhou rise from a piece of ruins and become a prosperous place in the North sea again. Many good things can be intercepted from these years.

    He chose the rest of the excellent weapons from the camp.

    Zhang Jia, or Qiji himself, has made more than ten thousand times. Although most of them are useless to him, they can at least win people''s hearts.

    If Wen Zhong hadn''t directly wanted to kill Fei Zhong and you hun, King Zhou would have to put them in prison to preserve them. It is estimated that the speed would be faster.

    ……

    The news in chaotang cannot be kept secret. The canonized angel has not set out yet. In Chaoge City, Zhang''s house is already crowded.

    For many years, except for the children of the royal family, big businessmen have no more foreign territories. Among the 800 princes in the four towns, some of them were granted the state by tribes who were subject to the great merchants, and some were granted the state for their contributions to the great merchants many years ago.

    The land within the big business was sealed with a powerful vassal, and even the children of the royal family were rare.

    While secretly scolding Wen Zhong and Wang Zhou for being fatuous, he envied the fate of Zhang Jia. In just over ten years, he has grown from a poor family to a top power in big business.

    If Zhang had to carefully protect himself with the help of Wen Zhong''s reputation before, it is no longer necessary now. The princes of a state, or the princes with real power, are enough to protect themselves.

    There is no such thing as a feudal state. A feudal state has its own territory and army. Generally, it will not interfere in the internal affairs of the feudal state. It can be said that once it is sealed, it will occasionally fight with the merchants in addition to the annual tribute. It can be said that this country will be separated from the feudal state.

    Therefore, we must always be cautious in the matter of enfeoffment.

    Only king Zhou can do such things as killing a king for no reason. What can we do to prevent these people from rebelling? We should start first and kill Jiang Huanchu and e Chongyu. The eastern Lu and southern Hubei are still opposed.

    In history, Ji Chang''s father Ji Li was even feared by big businessmen because of his prestige. Wang wending of Shang only dared to keep him under house arrest in Chaoge and dared not kill him.

    Of course, Ji Li went on a hunger strike and died in the end, which had already planted the seeds for the break between Xiqi and Yin Shang. It can only be said that Ji Chang is a cruel man. He has endured the king of Shang for several generations. Finally, when the wonderful work of King Zhou comes, he can raise troops to fight.

    Old man Zhang was so happy that he couldn''t close his mouth. He greeted the visitors with a smile for several days in a row. Although the visitors were not big people, they were just the people in charge of the powerful family, and he didn''t neglect them.

    After all, it was not him who was granted the marquis.

    And he is over 60 years old. Although his body is still strong, no one can say when he can last.

    During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, people''s average life expectancy was very short, but in this god world, maybe ordinary people''s life expectancy was still very short, but those literary officials and military generals often lived a long time as long as they didn''t die.

    For example, King Zhou, seven years after he ascended the throne, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were teenagers, and they had to go up at least 30. However, twenty-eight years later, when King Wu''s army came to Chaoge City, they could still go out of the city to fight, fought dozens of generals in their 60s, and attacked Nanbo Hou Eshun with a knife. They didn''t escape until Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi and Nezha took the battle.

    It seems that in the god world, even if they are not immortals, the peak of these people can be maintained for a long time.

    Old man Zhang is different. He is just a small man. Up to now, his official position is not high. He doesn''t even have the opportunity to go to the court. If he hadn''t given Fei Zhongyou a lot of money and goods every year, someone would have targeted him as early as when the trick of casting soldiers could only be spread to the court song.

    As for the body, there are tricks. It''s natural that everyone is in the alchemy. Therefore, although the strength is general, the body has never aged.

    After dealing with the endless stream of visitors, old man Zhang seemed to vent his breath and his body immediately bent. come

    In recent years, when he was old, he wanted to resign and become a rich man. He tried to persuade him to go home to provide for the elderly more than once. After all, Zhangjia is not what it used to be. He doesn''t need to smile to save his family.

    After hesitating for a long time, he insisted, because he felt that if he left officialdom, no one would play for his youngest son in the Chaoge.

    Even if you want to resign and provide for the elderly, you have to wait for your son to come back.

    But this time, the younger son gave him a great surprise, and the news of the chief military officer was sealed again before it dispersed.

    This is the founding of the country. Even if he dreamed, he also dreamed that his family would have such a brilliant time.

    While happy, there are also regrets.

    He is more than 60 years old. Although he has two sons, he still has no grandchildren.

    The eldest son was taken away by the immortal when he was very young, and there has been no news for decades; The youngest son has been on the battlefield for 13 years. It''s good to see several women in the barracks.

    He has also heard of a strange plan to sit in Yinzhou and heard of the prosperity of Yinzhou, but he didn''t see it with his own eyes. He just thought it was a rumor.

    In his impression, the North Sea is wild. What good place can there be.

    The mansion was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more servants, but he felt more and more lonely.

    If he goes on like this, he''s afraid he won''t lose his heir.

    If I had known this, I should have told him a kiss before he set out for the war, and then left. Maybe I can enjoy my grandchildren in a few months.

    When the boy comes back, we must settle the marriage as soon as possible.

    But which one should I choose?

    More than one family heard the details of Zhang Jia. Knowing that the Marquis of shaanzhou had not been married, many dignitaries rushed up and wanted to catch the golden turtle son-in-law, which made the old man dazzled.

    Whoever you choose offends people.

    This phenomenon had already appeared when Qiji was in Yinzhou, but at that time, Qiji directly said that he would never marry before the chaos of Beihai, which dispelled some people''s thoughts.

    However, as soon as the news of his Marquis came out, those dignitaries could no longer sit still, and the matchmaker had to level the threshold of Zhang''s house.

    It was said that Beihai was not married because of injustice. Now yuan Futong has also been destroyed. The goal of honoring Hou and worshiping generals has also been achieved. The establishment has been completed. It''s time to start a family.

    The old man fell into the trouble of happiness again.

    ……

    The sound of horses'' hoofs stops outside the Chaoge city.

    On horseback was a burly man and a beautiful woman in white.

    "Husband, why did you stop?" the woman asked, "home is close at hand. Why don''t you go in?"

    "Alas!" sighed the burly man, "I''m afraid of being close to my hometown. I don''t know what''s going on at home after 30 years. Are my parents still in the high hall?"

    "My parents gave birth to me and raised me, but I failed to be filial in front of me for a day, which is really unworthy."

    "Don''t worry, my husband. My parents will be safe." the woman comforted. "This time I come back, my husband and I will be filial to the high Lord."

    "Thank you, madam," said the man. "Get off the horse. Let''s go into the city and go home."

    As the crowd arrived at the gate, the garrison soldiers saw that their temperament was not like ordinary people, especially the horse of a burly man. It turned out that they were a strange beast with a single horn on their head. They didn''t dare to cross examine too much and let them go immediately.

    For a long time, I have been guarding the door in Chaoge. Huang Feihu''s five-color divine cow and Mo Qilin, who heard the grand master before, are all like this. They can''t provoke such people. They are either a family of dignitaries or have strange skills.

    Although I left home since I was a child, when I returned to Chaoge, a sense of familiarity surged up. I found a small alley and knocked on the closed door.

    "Who?" came a woman''s voice.

    "Not a mother, is it a servant bought later?" the man was stunned.

    It seems that my family is not rich!

    Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman opened a crack in the door and looked at them warily.

    "Who are you looking for?"

    "Excuse me, is this Zhang Kun''s house?" the man asked.

    Zhang Kun is his father.

    "No, the owner''s surname is Feng, not Zhang." the woman shook her head and denied.

    "What? Where''s the Zhangjia family? How did you move here?" the man heard the speech, and a momentum suddenly dispersed. The frightened woman retreated in panic and fell to the ground in a hurry.

    The gate burst open.

    "We bought this house a few years ago. Where can we live here?" the woman said tremblingly, "and the former owner''s surname is not Zhang."

    "Where''s the Zhang family?" the man asked.

    "Husband, don''t worry." the woman grabbed the impatient man. "Husband hasn''t returned for decades, or there may be changes?"

    "I''m sorry, sister-in-law. Please think about it. Do you know the news of Zhangjia who lived here before," the woman came in, picked up the woman and asked softly, "or ask your husband to talk."

    "My husband has gone on duty and is not at home. The little woman has never heard of Zhang Jia living here." the woman shook her head.

    She saw that they were not bothered by their clothes and feet. She guessed that they were big people he couldn''t afford to offend. She didn''t dare to speak loudly for fear that they would be annoyed.

    "This..."

    The man was worried again when he couldn''t find his family at the door of his house.

    The thoughts of parting for more than 30 years immediately came to my head.

    "Are you... Zhang Kui?" just then, the door of the next yard opened and an old man came out.

    This kind of place where the poor live has a small yard, a man''s voice is not small, and it is normal to be heard.

    "It''s me, are you?" the man Zhang Kui looked at the old man with gray hair and wrinkled face, without any impression.

    "It''s really you, Zhang Kui. You''re back?" the old man was surprised. "I''m your brother Wang Chun!"

    "Of course, I don''t dare to climb now."

    "Brother Wang Chun, how do you look like this?" Zhang Kui finally found a figure in the depths of his memory. He was very surprised. This has nothing in common with brother Wang Chun''s memory.

    "It''s been more than 30 years, but you''ve grown up soon. Old man Wang sighed," if you don''t find Zhangjia people, I don''t dare recognize it! "

    "Brother Wang, you seem to be ten years older than me," Zhang Kui suddenly thought of a possibility, "my father, he..."

    Brother Wang looks like this. Dad doesn''t know magic. Is he still alive?

    Zhang Kui couldn''t help worrying.

    "Don''t worry, your father is fine. It''s just that he has developed over the years and hasn''t lived here for a long time." old man Wang said, "you can be surprised if you see him."

    "By the way, where have you been these years? You disappeared without saying a word. Uncle Zhang didn''t say anything. He thought you..."

    "Brother Wang, I''ve been away from home for too long. I really want to see my parents as soon as possible and visit again another day." Zhang Kui interrupted Wang Chun''s memory.

    "Alas, it''s useless to be old." old man Wang smiled. "It''s easy to find your home. After going out, ask Chaoge where it''s the busiest now. In addition to the palace, it''s your home."

    "What does brother Wang mean?" Zhang Kui''s wife came out and asked.

    "Now it is estimated that no one in Chaoge doesn''t know where the residence of Hou Zhangyuan in Shaanxi is."

    "Shaanxi Marquis?" this surprised Zhang Kui and his wife. What happened to his family after all these years?

    The woman hiding behind the door was also surprised and secretly rejoiced that there were no bad words.

    ……

    Shaanxi Hou''s residence is in another prosperous square city. Although it is not where there are many dignitaries of Chaoge, it has been very lively recently.

    Many people surrounded by slaves and carrying a large number of gifts were waiting in line for the people in the mansion to meet.

    "Please tell your master and say goodbye to Zhang Kui." after waiting for a long time, it''s finally Zhang Kui''s turn.

    "Zhang Kui, is this home?" the door looked at Zhang Kui. "My master is busy. If there is nothing important, I don''t dare to disturb him."

    "If your master is busy, it''s OK to visit Wenbo," said Zhang Kui. "Is Wenbo still there?"

    "Yes, but housekeeper Wen basically doesn''t have a director. It''s not easy to disturb him when he is raised in the house." Menzi asked.

    "You say Zhang Kui wants to see me. If Wen Bo doesn''t want to see me, you don''t have to ask." Zhang Kui took out a handful of copper money and stuffed it into the door. "It won''t take much time. Please run."

    "Well," said the door, "Wenbo is tolerant of us. He won''t blame us even if he interrupts."

    "Husband, you didn''t say that your family was born in poverty. How did you become a marquis?" Zhang Kui''s wife asked, "the threshold is high enough."

    "I''m also confused," Zhang Kui said with a bitter smile. "Wait a minute. I''ll know when I see my father."

    Soon, a figure rushed out, regardless of his old body.

    "Where, where?"

    "Wenbo, I''m here." Zhang Kuili stepped forward.

    Wenbo was older than his father and was a little old, but his face remained unchanged and his body was still strong. Zhang Kui recognized it at a glance.

    "Is that you, young master? You''re back?" Wenbo''s eyes moistened.

    Xiuxian didn''t remember the year. For more than 30 years, he didn''t expect to wait until the young master came back. He thought he would leave with regret. Who ever thought the young master would come back suddenly.

    "Wenbo, it''s me. I''m back. You''re in good health." Zhang Kui asked and greeted his wife. "Wenbo, this is my wife, Gao Lanying. Lanying, this is Wenbo I often mention to you."

    "Hello, Wen Bo." Gao Lanying came forward to salute.

    "Young master, you are married. I must be very happy." Wen Boxi said, "go and enter the house. I will be happy."

    Wenbo pulls Zhang Kui. Gao Lanying refuses the servant and leads two horses into the mansion.

    "There''s a young master in the family. God, I took the young master''s money. He won''t drive me out." the door was frightened.

    The news of Zhang''s eldest son''s coming home immediately spread all over the dynasty song.

    ……
