Chapter 109 "Sizhou Daily"

To the third day of February 12th.

early morning.

Sizhou City Street is no different from the past.

There are still pedestrians.

Zhang Chongjiu, who came from Zhang Village, had to carry the load and rushed to the street for an hour.

He is going to sell some vegetables grown in his own land, and wants to save some money to buy a brand new dress for his child.

The child kept clamoring to buy it, but he didn't buy it before, because the family's money was used to buy other daily necessities, and some of them couldn't make ends meet.

Now, life has improved a little bit, everything is developing in a good direction, and he has saved some money. He gritted his teeth and decided to buy new clothes for his children first.

The reason why he was determined to buy it was because his family's child was attracted by a gentleman from Sizhou College and wanted to accept him as a student.

From that gentleman's mouth, he knew that his child had a talent for reading.

Since he has a talent for reading, even if the family sells everything, or even begs, the child must be offered.

That's what Zhang Chongjiu planned in his heart.

Fortunately, General Cheng De took good care of Zhang Village. All school-age children in the village can go to Sizhou College for free for a few years.

If the reading is quite effective, and it is approved by the husband, all the follow-up expenses will be covered by the general's mansion.

This, can be regarded as a worry for him.

Otherwise, he would really have to sell everything, even beg.

While thinking about this, Zhang Chongjiu still came to the opposite of the General's Mansion last time, and quickly took out fresh vegetables.

The vicinity here is all the territory of the General's Mansion, and this is also the kindness of General Zhenglu.

General Zhenglu allowed the people to set up a stall near the general's mansion to sell some things if they didn't have a stall, and no one was allowed to drive them away at will.

This time, Zhang Chongjiu found that the others were not too late.

Fortunately, he finally found an empty seat.

He sells vegetables in this empty space.

Beside him is old man Li who sells chickens. They met each other when they sold vegetables last time and talked about some homework.

Now, because the weather is still early, not many people come to buy chicken and vegetables.

Old man Li and Zhang Chongjiu had some free time to chat about the trivial matters of life.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, is your chicken selling well?" Zhang Chongjiu greeted Old Man Li.

Seeing that it was Zhang Chongjiu, old man Li replied, "It's okay, people from the general's mansion have come to buy a lot these days."

"Then you are really lucky. The General's Mansion never bargains or lowers the price when buying things. You have made money." Zhang Chongjiu looked at Old Man Li with envy in his eyes.

Hearing this, old man Li replied with a smile: "Yes, if we talk about Sizhou City, there is really a place that thinks about us, and the only place that thinks about us is the General's Mansion."

Zhang Chongjiu echoed in agreement: "General, we also came from such a background, and we know that life is not easy for us people. Now, although the general has done a great thing, he has not forgotten us. It can be seen that the general is nostalgic. I have people in my heart!"

Old man Li also nodded. He looked at Zhang Chongjiu and asked: "Last time, before we separated. You said that you and the general are from the same place. Is this true?"

Hearing old man Li's words, Zhang Chongjiu immediately became more energetic, and said, "Of course it's true. According to seniority, the general still has to call me Uncle Zhang!"

Old man Li looked at Zhang Chongjiu with envy in his eyes, and said, "I heard that children from your Zhang village can go to Sizhou College for free when they reach a certain age, and if they study well, they can also get admission from the General's Mansion." The funding and subsequent study expenses are all borne by the General's Mansion. Old Zhang, is this true?"

Zhang Chongjiu smiled and nodded heavily: "It's true. I have three children, two of whom have already attended Sizhou College, and one who is too young to go to school. Yesterday, my eldest son I was also spotted by a gentleman from Sizhou College, I don’t want to sell some food, exchange some money, and give my eldest son a whole new set of clothes to wear!”

Old man Li looked at Zhang Chongjiu, not to mention envious in his heart.

Why is he not from Zhangcun?
Old man Li looked at Zhang Chongjiu for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Old Zhang, from now on, you will have three Wenqu stars in your family. I am afraid that you will have a lot of blessings in the future. If you suffer a little bit now, you will be able to enjoy blessings in the future. Unlike me, whether it is now or in the future, you will be happy." To suffer."

Zhang Chongjiu comforted old man Li and said: "Brother Li, don't be envious. Not every child can become a Wenqu star, it depends on their talent. According to the general's behavior, he will definitely take care of other people in the future." .As long as someone in your family joins the Sizhou Army, then there will be blessings in the future."

Old man Li was surprised, "Has your child joined the Sizhou Army?"

Zhang Chongjiu shook his head, "I have a nephew. I brought him up single-handedly since he was a child. Because he joined the Sizhou Army, he made some contributions and got two places to join the Sizhou Military Academy. He cared about my respect for him. Thanks to the kindness, I gave each of these places to me. But I thought, if the two children are not valued by the husband in Sizhou Academy, I will send them to Sizhou Military Academy. Unexpectedly, my eldest son has I was spotted by Mr.

"The second son doesn't look like a piece of material for studying. After he has finished studying Sizhou Academy for free for a few years, I will send him to Sizhou Military Academy to find a way out. Yaoer, no matter where he is I also recognize the material, after all, there are already two promising sons, which is already a great gift. Moreover, I still have a place in the Sizhou Military Academy in my hand, no matter how bad it is in the future, he can support himself."

Old man Li listened to this silently, feeling a little sour in his heart.

He also has three sons, but none of them are study materials.

He also wanted to send his three sons to Sizhou Military Academy, but unfortunately he had no way.

They idled around every day. Seeing that they were getting older, old man Li was getting more and more worried.

My mind became even heavier.

Zhang Chongjiu seemed to notice that old man Li looked a little depressed, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that the general used tens of thousands of Sizhou troops to repel the 20 yuan army this time, which is really amazing!"

Hearing Zhang Chongjiu's words, old man Li answered, "It seems to be more than 1 people. They wiped out the 15 yuan army from Yangzhou Road and repelled [-] people. It is said that the [-] yuan came from Jinhu City. Army. General Zhenglu is really the rebirth of the overlord. The soldiers are alive, just like the great heroes in the storybooks. They are resourceful, capable of conquering wars, and unparalleled in righteousness. It is really a blessing for our people! I always feel that the general is sent by heaven. Come save us people!"

Zhang Chongjiu nodded approvingly.

suddenly.

Several children came out of the General's Mansion.

They were wrapped in a thick stack of papers.

This scene immediately attracted the eyes of old man Li and Zhang Chongjiu.

next moment.

They heard these children shouting loudly: "Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper, the newly released "Sizhou Daily". Zhou Qisan, who betrayed the Sizhou Army, what are his charges? General Zhenglu How to destroy a total of 15 troops on Yangzhou Road and Jiqing Road in World War I? Why did the [-] troops of Gongbu Ban be frightened by General Zhenglu and flee overnight? He was so frightened that he withdrew to Hefei overnight? What is the latest situation of General Zhenglu’s attack on Gaoyou Mansion? The first biography of General Zhenglu of the Sizhou Army Heroes, how can he become the number one hero of the Sizhou Army? Li Laoba's bed? These answers are all on the "Sizhou Daily". A copy of "Sizhou Daily" only costs three pennies. If you want to buy it, hurry up and buy it quickly!"

Zhang Chongjiu and old man Li looked at each other.

They only knew that the curiosity in their hearts was drawn out by these voices.

Thinking of why "Sizhou Daily" has so many big things, they all want to know the answer.

In particular, why Laosan Zhou's daughter-in-law climbed into Laoba Li's bed in the middle of the night made them want to know why.

Because of this news, their curiosity was aroused.

Could it be that Zhou Laosan's wife cheated on her?Or is Zhou Laosan not good at that job?
These doubts made them wonder if it was what they thought.

They were moved.

Besides, three pennies are not much, so they summed up secretly.

Zhang Chongjiu felt that after selling these vegetables, he would use the money from selling vegetables and the money saved before to buy a piece of clothing for the child, and there was still some leftover.

Old man Li felt that after selling the chickens, he could make a lot of money, especially after selling all the chickens in the past few days.

Although they are illiterate, their children can read and they can take them home and let their children read to them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chongjiu and old man Li looked at each other, and quickly shouted to those children: "I'll buy a copy of "Sizhou Daily""

The children came over upon hearing the sound, and took out two copies of "Sizhou Daily".

Zhang Chongjiu and old man Li paid three Wen each, and then carefully took over the "Sizhou Daily".

When Zhang Chongjiu saw the portrait of Cheng De in the middle of the "Sizhou Daily", he said in shock: "It depicts General Zhenglu."

Hearing Zhang Chongjiu's exclamation, old man Li looked over quickly, and couldn't help being surprised.

He didn't expect that General Zhenglu would be so young.

Look, it's very kind, the blessing of the people!
After that, the children who peddled the "Sizhou Daily" walked a little farther away.

On the streets and corners of Sizhou City, their cries of selling began to sound.

This caused a huge commotion in Sizhou City.

Especially for those scholars, they don't know what "Sizhou Daily" is, but it doesn't prevent them from buying a copy, and the price is relatively cheap anyway.

When they bought a copy of "Sizhou Daily" and read it, they were shocked.

"There are so many top-secret information on the "Sizhou Daily". Isn't General Zhenglu afraid of being leaked?"

This is a common thought in the minds of many readers.

Li Shanchang Mansion.

At this moment, Li Shanchang was preparing to leave for the General's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, before he went out, he was attracted by the children's peddling of "Sizhou Daily".

He bought a copy of "Sizhou Daily", and after quickly reading all the content on it, Li Shanchang stared at "Sizhou Daily" thoughtfully.

Is this the general's weapon against scholars?

So terrifying!
