Chapter 70: The Wind and Rain Are Coming

Chen Liang asked Zhang Ping'an in confusion: "Master, where did you get the crystal?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "A few months ago, when we walked here, we were planning to find a way for the women who were staying at home to escape. Zhang Li and I were exploring the cave. We walked almost 200 feet away and found the crystal. We didn't care at that time. Later, we took Guangning and had a jade craftsman. I became interested and made these. Fortunately, there are many women now, so I took food as wages to ask them to perform primary polishing. The five jade craftsmans only did the final polishing. I guess there will be quite a few by the end of the year!"

Zhang Ping'an turned his head and looked at the sun, and said to everyone: "Let's have a meal! Try Chef Zhang's skills!"

Zhang Ping'an took them into the dining room and told Rude Yin: "Tell Ruge, serve the dishes!"

Everyone consciously sat down according to their qualifications. Zhang Ping'an said, "Today you can drink less! This wine is made by me to make the brisk fire in the grassland. Each person has a bowl, and Deyin and the Xu brothers, plus Gu Xin, don't drink it! After dinner, rest for an hour and have a formal meeting in the afternoon! Look, the dining table I designed can be rotated. Whoever wants to eat? Just turn it in front of you!"

Li Guipin advised Zhang Ping'an: "Master, say something unpleasant, don't lose your ambition!"

Zhang Ping'an smiled disconcertedly: "It's a combination of work and rest! I don't drink, I don't gamble, and I don't play with women. It's not an exaggeration to have such a little hobby!"

Zhang Ping'an suddenly thought of something and asked Chen Liang: "How much money do we have now?"

Chen Liang thought for a while and replied, "The gold is about 150,000 taels, and the silver is about 7.8 million taels."

Zhang Ping'an said: "This money needs to be used, otherwise it is not a solution to rely on us to distribute food to the people alone! The gold will not move for the time being! The slave army will pay the military salary in the future! Those who work for us will pay with silver! However, we not only collect land tax, but also grain transaction tax. We also have to collect commercial tax. The Ming Dynasty is thirty tax one, and we are thirty tax one to twenty tax one. For details, please come out the regulations. Well, let's do this! Long Xiucai, come and do this!"

The dishes came quickly, and they were all the ingredients that Zhang Ping'an found in Guangning. There were not many dishes, but they were full of weight. Zhang Ping'an picked up the milk tea bowl: "As long as you have feelings, everything you drink is wine! I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you for your contribution to the Po Nu Army!"

Zhang Li shouted at this time: "Boss is a novel word, let's have another one!"

Zhang Ping'an raised the bowl again: "A big river has a wide wave, pick up the wine glass and let's do it!"

Hu Ming took the opportunity to cheer: "The boss is really talented, let's have another one!"

"The blue sky, the blue sea, one cup, one cup down!"

Zhang Ping'an suddenly felt like he was being fooled by a monkey and laughed and scolded: "Your sister! One day I will post your training summary to the wall! Eat vegetables!"

Amid the harmonious laughter, Zhang Ping'an saw Long Tao who was a little sad, so he asked him jokingly: "Scholar Long, are you unhappy! Didn't you take away the eldest sister of the Zhao family? Is your gun rusted and driven out by the eldest sister of the Zhao family!"

When Long Tao heard Zhang Ping'an say this, he felt relieved. He stood up and thanked: "Thank you for your care in advance! I was thinking, what if the money was used up!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ping'an praised: "If you don't have a long-term plan, you will have immediate worries! Long Xiucai has this thought, which is very suitable for me! But you don't have to worry. With me here, you should first earn the money from the grassland and then earn the money from the Ming Dynasty! Just do the things in front of you and Mr. Chen. Don't just talk and eat food!"

Zhang Li picked up the wine glass: "Boss, you are too partial, so you also find a wife for our brothers!"

Zhang Ping'an curled his lips: "I don't know you yet? You said, what's wrong with you and Yang Erhua? And Hu Ming, you and Zhao Qiong's sister Zhao Rui. They have sex all day long! There are fewer and fewer women in the Shuai Mansion! Well, I will fulfill you today."

"Thank you for your success! Don't you still have the pearl of the grassland?" Hu Mingpi smiled.

Zhang Ping'an immediately responded: "I will give Zhao Rui an iron whip when I look back. If you dare to find a young man, I will make the decision for him and let her whip you with a whip!"

Hu Ming was suddenly depressed. Zhang Li wanted to make a few jokes, but immediately shrank back when he saw this. Li Guipin stood up and said, "Master! This Mongolian woman cannot be kept!"

Zhang Ping'an pressed his hand down and signaled him to sit down. Then he said, "I really don't keep the mirror on the grassland! I'm going to give her to Lin Danhan! First, I'm going to show goodwill and delay the Jurchen Tartars' process, and second, I'll reduce my troubles! As long as Lin Danhan doesn't harass us during the autumn harvest, I'm really not afraid of him!"

Rudeyin put down the pig's trotters and asked Zhang Ping'an: "Brother, if the Jurchen Tartars and the Mongolian Tartars come together to attack, can we defend?"

"These are all military discussions in the afternoon. Let me have lunch! Alas! I said it, do you think the rice I cooked is delicious?" Zhang Ping'an chewed the beef in his mouth and replied vaguely.

Ru Deyin nodded: "It's delicious! Did Sister Chang'e teach you?"

Zhang Ping'an was swallowing beef and almost got stuck. He finally got angry and saw a little face full of tenderness. He said angrily: "No! I taught her. That day we were talking about our ideals in life and discussing the complex relationship between men and women. Marshal Tianpeng Pig was incompetent and came to show his attentiveness. In order to warmly entertain him, I specially made a whole pig mat!"

Ru Deyin now knew that Zhang Ping'an was talking nonsense. So he said, "Don't think I don't know. That day, I asked my brothers from the personal military camp to capture a few Mongolian Tartars for me. I saw it all! You have been lying to me."

When Zhang Ping'an heard this, the milk tea he had just drunk, sprayed Ru Deyin's face. He didn't expect Ru Deyin to be so persistent in Mao's knowledge. So he asked with a bad smile: "Did you just look at the male Tartars? Or even the female Tartars!"

Ru Deyin wiped his face, raised his head stubbornly and said, "I've seen it all! How about it!"

Zhang Ping'an patted Ru Deyin's little head and kept sighing: "My family Deyin has grown up! Very good. Next time I give them a lecture, you don't have to leave! In a few years, as long as the girl you like, I will make the decision for you."

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while, then said with a wicked smile: "I see spring coming, why do I miss spring? I'm so glorious! Are you interested in someone?"

"You are only allowed to set fire, and I am not allowed to light the lights! I am a girl named Zhou Wei. Go and match me!" Lu Deyin said heartlessly.

Zhang Ping'an was a little confused: "You little kid! Let's cultivate your feelings first, and talk about marrying a wife in a few years! I don't know the person you are talking about!"

"Why don't you know each other? It's just that we killed the Jurchen Tartars together and rescued these people in the yard! The girl who ran out of the house. Brother Chen Po and the others hadn't come yet!" Lu Deyin said angrily.

"She is not dead! I remember when we left, she was very sick. She is so lucky! You little kid, even asked the girl's name so clearly. It seems that she was serious. Go back and call her to the Shuai Mansion, I'll check it for you!" Zhang Ping'an suddenly realized.

Lu Deyin smiled and said, "I have transferred her to the coach's mansion long ago and live with Gu Xin's cousin! Sister Ruge knows that she just didn't tell you!"
