It was February 3rd of the 12th year of Zhengzheng.

early morning.

The streets of Sizhou City are no different from before.

There are still a lot of pedestrians.

Zhang Chongjiu, from Zhangcun, carried a load and hurried for an hour before arriving on the street.

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

The child has been 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 could not make ends meet.

Now, his life has improved a little, everything is moving 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 insisted on buying it was because his child was attracted by a gentleman from Sizhou College and wanted to accept him as a student.

From the gentleman's words, he learned that his child had a talent for reading.

Since he has the talent to read, even if the family sells iron, or even begs, the child must be provided for.

This is what Zhang Chongjiu planned in his heart.

Fortunately, Cheng De, the conquest general, took good care of Zhang Village. All school-age children in the village could attend Sizhou College for free for several years.

If your studies are fruitful and approved by your husband, all subsequent expenses will be taken care of by the General's Office.

This can be regarded as settling his worries.

Otherwise, he would really have to smash pots, sell iron, or even beg.

While thinking about this, Zhang Chongjiu came to the opposite side of the General's Mansion as before and quickly took out the fresh vegetables.

This area is all the territory of the General's Mansion, and this is also the favor of General Zhenglu.

General Zhenglu allowed the people to set up stalls to sell some things near the general's mansion if there were no stalls, and no one was allowed to drive them away at will.

This time, Zhang Chongjiu discovered that the others did not come late to him.

Fortunately, he finally found an empty spot.

He sells vegetables in this empty space.

Next to him is Old Man Li, who sells chickens. They met each other last time when he was selling vegetables and chatted about some household matters.

Now, since it is still early, there are not many people coming to buy chicken and vegetables.

Old Man Li and Zhang Chongjiu had some free time to chat about trivial matters in life.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. How are your chicken sales?" Zhang Chongjiu greeted Old Man Li.

When Old Man Li saw it was Zhang Chongjiu, he replied: "It's not bad, there are a lot of people from the General's Mansion coming to buy these days."

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

Hearing this, Old Man Li replied with a smile: "Yes, if there is one place in Sizhou City that really thinks about us people, and the only place that thinks about us people is the General's Mansion."

Zhang Chongjiu agreed: "General, he is from a background like ours, and he knows that life is not easy for us people. Now, although the general has done great things, he has not forgotten us people. It can be seen that the general is nostalgic.

You have the people in your 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 were from the same place. Is this true?"

When Zhang Chongjiu heard what Old Man Li said, he immediately became more energetic and said, "Of course it's true. According to my seniority, the general has to call me Uncle Zhang!"

Old Man Li looked at Zhang Chongjiu with envy in his eyes and said: "I heard that the children in Zhang Village can study at Sizhou College for free when they reach a certain age, and if they study well, they can also get a scholarship from the General's Mansion.

The funding and subsequent study expenses will all be borne by the General's Office. Lao Zhang, is this true?"

Zhang Chongjiu smiled and nodded heavily: "It's true. Two of my three children have already attended Sizhou College, and one is too young and not old enough to study. Yesterday, my eldest son

I was also attracted by a gentleman from Sizhou College. I don’t want to sell some food to exchange for some money and give my eldest son a whole new set of clothes!"

Old Man Li looked at Zhang Chongjiu with envy in his heart.

Why isn't he from Zhangcun?

Old Man Li looked at Zhang Chongjiu for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Old Zhang, you will have three literary stars in your family from now on. I'm afraid you will have a lot of blessings in the future. If you endure hardship now, you can enjoy blessings in the future. Unlike me, whether it is now or in the future,

You have to endure hardship."

Zhang Chongjiu comforted Old Man Li and said, "Brother Li, don't be envious. Not every child can become a literary star. It depends on their talent. With the general's character, he will definitely take care of others in the future.

.As long as someone in your family joins the Sizhou Army, you will be blessed in the future."

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

Zhang Chongjiu shook his head, "I have a nephew who I brought up since he was a child. Because he joined the Sizhou Army and made some achievements, he got two places to join the Sizhou Military Academy. He cares about my support for him.

kindness,

So he gave these places to me. But I thought that if the two children were not valued by their husband at Sizhou College, I would send them to Sizhou Military Academy. Unexpectedly, my eldest son had already been taken by his husband.

I’m attracted to it.”

"The second son doesn't look like he's ready for school. After he finishes studying at Sizhou College for free for a few years, I will send him to Sizhou Military Academy to find a way out. Yao'er, no matter where he is

I accept it as a piece of material. After all, I already have two promising sons, which is already a great gift. Moreover, I also have a place at Sizhou Military Academy in my hand. No matter what happens in the future, he will be able to support himself."

Old Man Li listened to this silently, feeling a little sad in his heart.

He also has three sons, but none of them are good at studying.

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

They were idle every day. Seeing that they were getting older and older, Old Man Li became more and more worried.

My thoughts became more and more serious.

Zhang Chongjiu seemed to notice that Old Li was looking a little depressed, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that the general used tens of thousands of Sizhou troops to repel an army of 200,000 yuan this time. This is really impressive!"

Old Man Li heard Zhang Chongjiu's words and answered: "It seems to be more than 10,000. They destroyed the 150,000 yuan army from the Yangzhou Road and repelled 70,000. I heard that the 70,000 were in Jinhu City."

The Yuan army. The general who conquered the captives was truly an overlord.

After rebirth, the warrior immortal is alive in this world, just like the great heroes in storybooks, resourceful, good at fighting, and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. It is really a blessing for our people! I always feel that the general is sent by God to 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 paper.

This scene immediately caught the eyes of Old Man Li and Zhang Chongjiu.

The next moment.

They heard these children shouting loudly: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the newly released "Sizhou Daily". What are the crimes of Zhou Qisan who betrayed the Sizhou Army? General Zhenglu

How to wipe out a total of 150,000 troops on Yangzhou Road and Jiqing Road in one battle? Why was the 70,000-strong army of Gongbu Ban so frightened by the conscripting generals that they fled overnight? Why did Dingyuan Cheli not spend 100,000 troops as soon as he heard the conquest?

Because of General Zhenglu's performance, he was so frightened that he withdrew to Hefei overnight? What is the latest situation of General Zhenglu's attack on Gaoyou Mansion? In the first chapter of the Legend of Heroes of Sizhou Army, how did he become the first hero of Sizhou Army? Why did Zhou Laosan's daughter-in-law stay up in the middle of the night?

Climb into Li Laoba's bed? These answers are all in "Sizhou Daily". A copy of "Sizhou Daily" only costs three cents. If you want to buy it, hurry up and buy it as soon as possible!"

Zhang Chongjiu and Old Man Li looked at each other.

All they knew was that the curiosity in their hearts was aroused by these sounds.

When they thought that this "Sizhou Daily" had so many big things, they all wanted to know the answer.

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

Because this news aroused their curiosity.

Could it be that Zhou Laosan's wife has cheated on her? Or is Zhou Laosan not good at her job?

These doubts made them wonder if it was what they thought.

They were moved.

Besides, three pennies was not much, so they each added it up secretly.

Zhang Chongjiu thought that after selling these vegetables, he would use the money from selling vegetables and the money saved before to buy clothes for his children, and there would still be some leftover.

Old Man Li felt that after selling the chickens, he could make a lot of money, especially since he had sold all the chickens in the past few days, he didn't have to worry about running out of money at all. The three cents didn't put any pressure on him.

Although they are illiterate, their children are literate and can be brought back to have their children read to them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chongjiu and Old Man Li looked at each other and shouted to the children: "I will buy a copy of Sizhou Daily"

The children heard the sound and came over and took out two copies of Sizhou Daily.

Zhang Chongjiu and Old Man Li each paid three cents and then carefully took over the Sizhou Daily.

When Zhang Chongjiu saw Cheng De's portrait on the middle page of "Sizhou Daily", he was shocked and said: "There is a picture of General Conqueror on it."

When Old Man Li heard Zhang Chongjiu's exclamation, he quickly looked around and couldn't help being surprised.

He didn't expect that the conquering general was so young.

Looks very kind, what a blessing to the people!
