After getting the money, Chen Chu took Yang Zhen and others to start a large purchase.

I first bought more than 400 kilograms of grain, plus the 600 kilograms Yang Zhen bought with leather money, and now I have more than a thousand kilograms of grain, enough to last for a while.

Then Chen Chu bought another piece of pork, a ewe that was producing milk and a lamb.

"Brother Chu, why did you buy the ewe?"

Faced with Yao's eldest son's question, Chen Chu said: "Hutou is young. From now on, I will give her some goat's milk every day to help her grow stronger."

When the cat on the side heard this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

This was the first time she smiled since the day of Waking of Insect, but it was a pity that Chen Chu didn't see it.

Then several people followed Chen Chu to the cloth store and watched him buy three pieces of cloth in one go.

This way of spending money made everyone gasp, and Mao'er was even more distressed.

But Chen Chu was still not finished and entered a bookstore again.

The contemporary information he could understand by relying solely on Yang Zhen's dictation was not systematic enough, so he wanted to look for a set of historical books.

But he didn't know the ancient practice of not compiling history, so in the end he only found a dictionary-like "Guangyun" and a few "Records of Emperor Taizu" and "Records of Emperor Sejong" and the like.

This kind of "real record" similar to the biography of a celebrity was actually written by the later emperors of the Zhou Dynasty for their ancestors, and they spent a lot of space praising their virtues.

The authenticity is unknown.

Next door to the bookstore is an ink studio, and Chen Chu went in and bought a knife of rice paper.

Others were waiting outside the door without saying anything...

The Zhou Dynasty, which had developed imperial examinations, ruled this place for more than a hundred years, and the people had an almost perverted reverence for the symbols of scholars such as books, pens, and ink.

However, Chen Chu bought it to wipe his butt... He really wasn't used to using leaves and bamboo slices!

But Yang Zhen and others, who did not know the inside story, looked at Chen Chu with a hint of reverence.

These days, Chen Chu tells interesting stories and understands a lot. Yang Zhen guessed that he should be a scholar.

At this moment, seeing him buying books and stationery, Yang Zhen finally confirmed Chen Chu’s identity as a ‘scholar’.

Mao'er, who was also waiting outside the door, hurried forward and took the book and paper from Chen Chu's hand. Her dark little face could not conceal the proud expression.

In fact, compared with the previous dynasties, the literacy rate of the Zhou Dynasty was still very high. However, when Yang Zhen and others were at the age when they should be literate, they encountered the Jin people's invasion from the south, and naturally there was no chance to study during the war.

Finally, the group went to buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, but the two rickshaws couldn't hold it.

Chen Chu simply took the remaining 7,000 yuan and bought an ox cart at the cattle and horse market.

After spending all the money, I feel calm...

Seeing that Chen Chu didn't have any money left for him, Yang Zhen couldn't help but said: "Brother Chu, the price of your water-proof and wind-wrapped Qiankun bag just now was low..."

"I know." Chen Chu smiled.

"You know?"

"Yeah. I just asked for one hundred thousand or eighty thousand dollars today, and I think that young lady will agree."

"Then why do you only need 20,000 yuan?" Yang Zhen was even more surprised.

"I'm worried that if I ask for too much, they will have other ideas."

Only then did Chen Chu reveal the reason.

In troubled times, the law has little deterrent to people. If Chen Chu's lion opens his mouth and hurts the other person, will the Cai family rob someone halfway?

Let's do a trick where the left hand goes out and the right hand comes back.

As long as the 20,000 yuan is obviously given to Cai Ji's pawnshop, and the other party has made a huge profit, the willingness to take risks will naturally be reduced a lot.

Chen Chu was not sure that Cai Ji would do evil things, but it was just not worth the risk for a plastic bag.

Yang Zhen immediately understood what he meant, but smiled lightly and said: "They may not dare to touch our things."

"Oh?" Chen Chu glanced at Yang Zhen and heard the confidence in the latter's words. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? Is it possible that Uncle Yang is also a person with stories?"

Yang Zhen chuckled: "Anyway, you don't need to be so careful in Tongshan."

......

After noon, everyone set off back to the mountain.

An ox cart and two rickshaws, loaded with grain and cloth, with sheep tied to the shafts, are very conspicuous even in a densely populated city.

As expected, we ran into trouble when we left the city.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw such a big fat sheep, how could they not bite it hard?

"Where are you going to transport the grain? But to the Southern Dynasties!"

A young leader stopped the bullock cart driven by his eldest son and accused him of "collaborating with the enemy".

This is their usual move.

Yang Dalang stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Master, this is the ration for our whole village. It belongs to the folks in the countryside. Why don't we make it more convenient?"

"If it's convenient for you, who will be convenient for us?" the leader shouted.

Seeing that the other party refused to let him go, Yang Dalang turned his head and whispered something to Wu Kui. The latter nodded and ran towards the signing army camp next to the city gate.

After a while, Wu Kui returned, and with him came a man with leopard eyes and a beard wearing a black jacket and a green silk war robe.

When the little leader of the signing army saw the big man approaching, he hurriedly led the other brothers on guard to come forward and salute, shouting: "General Zhang."

The big man waved his hand, but first walked towards Yang Zhen, then took out a package of things wrapped in oil paper from his arms and stuffed it into Yang Dalang. He lowered his voice and said, "It's almost time for you to go down the mountain. I bought it in advance."

Feng Dim Sum is my mother’s favorite Mi San Dao, please take it back.”

"Yes." Yang Dalang didn't say much, nodded to the big man and led the team out of the city.

Naturally, the little boss didn’t dare to stop him anymore.

As long as you are not blind, you can tell that these people are familiar with their bosses.

The little boss couldn't help but feel uneasy. He had just transferred Captain Zhang's subordinates from a neighboring county, and he was not familiar with his boss.

This time I accidentally stopped an acquaintance of my boss, and I was worried that ‘Captain Zhang’ would be uncomfortable with him.

At the same time, I felt a little upset.

These soldiers were recruited by force. Not only did they have to prepare their own armor, but they also caused the family to lose a strong labor force.

If you can pay the salary in full, take care of your wife and children, work hard for the puppet Qi, be driven by the Jin people, and be scolded by the villagers as "traitor", it will be worth it.

But what they received as military pay was less than one tenth of the money they paid... Not to mention feeding their wives and children, they couldn't even survive themselves.

Therefore, they usually live by extorting money and food from the city gate.

Unlucky today, not only did the little boss not get any money or food from the extortion, but he was afraid that his boss would have to give him a meal...

"Captain Zhang..." Seeing his boss walking in front of him, the little boss bent even deeper.

"Hahaha." Captain Zhang smiled heartily, took out the money bag from his arms, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it to the little boss: "Grandma, this is my private money, I will reward you bastards.

."

"Ah?" The little boss subconsciously answered it, and quickly raised the money bag with both hands, wanting to return it to his boss.

"Brothers have worked hard these days. You can use this money to drink." Captain Zhang waved his hand.

"How dare...how dare you keep spending money!" the little boss said in fear.

Captain Zhang raised his leg and kicked the opponent, and said with a smile: "Get out of here, you are so polite to me. The money left after the drink will be shared with the brothers, and you will take it home for my mother's expenses. Don't just worry about your own belly."
