"Sixth brother, General Manager Liu is looking for you back. He said he has something to discuss with you." At this time, a team member on the mountain came down to find Zhang Rui who was discussing with Wu Zhishui and said, "

"Oh? Do you know what's going on?" Zhang Rui asked

"I don't know much about this. At that time, he just asked me to find you back, as if it was about the prisoner." The team member replied.

After hearing the team member's words, Zhang Rui thought that it should be a ransom issue. It has been more than 20 days since Yang Yingju and the others returned.

In order to allow them to pay the money as soon as possible, Zhang Rui proposed the conditions for each prisoner who stayed in Zhilianshan to pay two taels of silver for food per day.

They originally disagreed, but the form is better than that of people. Sometimes people are so strange. As long as you start, you won’t care about the back, even if you continue to make mistakes.

At the same time, Zhang Rui also explained that in addition to the food and medical expenses given to them, the silver also had the interest of 1.5 million silver. They could not refute this reason, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.

You should know that Zhang Rui is a prisoner of nearly 1,550. In other words, every day they postpone, they both have to pay an extra three thousand taels of silver to Zhang Rui.

These twenty days are 60,000 taels...

Although this is not much compared to the 1.5 million taels of silver they paid to Zhang Rui. However, 60,000 taels of silver is not a small amount after all. Many small landlords may not be able to save this amount in their entire lives.

Therefore, Yang Yingju and the others had to worry unless they really wanted to make a desperate attempt and refuse to pay the money. But they wouldn't do this, after all, no one wanted to die if they could survive.

...

Because of the words from this team member, Zhang Rui could only temporarily hand over all the work in his hands to Wu Zhishui.

Wu Zhishui was very satisfied with Zhang Rui's trust in him.

In fact, Wu Zhishui didn't know that Zhang Rui couldn't find anyone to use.

Those craftsmen just don’t know a word about it, and they just do things according to the traditional methods taught by the older generation. Their thinking mode is single, and they don’t think too much and rarely adapt.

No one knows the real purpose of this hydraulic workshop.

Because it was not all built, Zhang Rui was not in a hurry to install the gear equipment they used for. So there was nothing to worry about.

Hydraulic workshops were really not a difficult thing for the Qing court. However, they did not know how to function, and they did not understand them anymore.

Wu Zhishui was a scholar who was willing to take the initiative to help Zhang Rui at this time. Although he was a little "rich young man" who liked to do things. However, if Zhang Rui didn't know how to win him over, he wouldn't be stupid.

Several children who were hired to teach "team master" to read from Zhilianshan, who knew that Zhang Rui was a rebel by Qianlong, all wanted to leave. So Zhang Rui could only coax and deceive and all kinds of threats, and could not say that Zhilianshan had no teacher now.

In fact, it’s not the scholars that blame them. After all, they are not people who are completely bankrupt and cannot survive. They believe that if they continue to follow Zhang Rui, they will definitely be dragged down.

Zhang Rui's current strength is too weak, like a small boat in a storm, which will be destroyed by "My Qing Dynasty" at any time, making people unable to see the future.

Therefore, unless it is really a scholar who can't survive or is really trying to fight against the Qing Dynasty, no scholar with a long-term vision will rashly join Zhang Rui's team.

...

After explaining the general work to Wu Zhishui, Zhang Rui followed the team member back to the mountain village.

At this time, the scenery of Zhilian Mountain has changed from the desertedness of the past. The fields of houses at the foot of the mountain are filled with people, and the surging crowds make the entire mountain area exude an exciting vitality.

Although everything here is just a simple creation, everyone who works hard will get their own wages and rations.

When passing by the housing area at the foot of the mountain, every person who knew Zhang Rui would come to say hello to Zhang Rui. Of course, there were many people who were reserved and uneasy, and Zhang Rui also responded to them one by one.

Because there were a lot of things to be busy, Zhang Rui didn't stay on the road for long and quickly returned to the parody.

...

Zhilianshan Mountain Village Conference Hall

There is a top chair in the hall, and ten chairs are displayed on the left and right sides of the lower part.

At this time, Liu Muxiu was here to receive Yang Yingju's green camp gang general Li Kaifu

"Mr. Liu, what are you asking for me?" I saw that Zhang Ruiren had already heard the sound before entering the door, and he was not as calm as a person who did big things.

When he entered the conference hall, Zhang Rui found that there was a person sitting beside Liu Muxiu at this moment.

"Who is this?" Zhang Rui asked, looking at Kai-Fu Lee who was looking at him.

In fact, it is not a big deal that Zhang Rui didn't know Kai-Fu Lee. Although he surrendered, he was then selected by Yang Yingju as a personal soldier and went back to Guangzhou. So Zhang Rui probably only saw him for a few times without remembering it in his heart.

Kai-Fu Lee stood up from the chair and looked at Zhang Rui for a moment. He sighed in his heart:

"We are so young, unbelievable. We are actually defeated by such a young boy. We are really talented in generations, and each generation is better than the next."

"Below is Li Kaifu, the Green Camp Governor Yang's subordinate Governor Yang. He has met the Sixth Brother." As he said, Li Kaifu hugged Zhang Rui and said, "

Since ancient times, warriors have only obeyed the strong, while generals admired the ones who defeated him.

Although Kai-Fu Lee didn't know how Zhang Rui's martial arts skills were. After the last failure on the battlefield, Zhang Rui was obviously respected by Kai-Fu Lee.

"Oh, it turns out it's General Li, I have been longing for a long time." Zhang Rui also clasped his fists and saluted Li Kaifu.

"I dare not take the word general, I'm welcome." Although Kai-Fu Lee said this, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy when he heard the word "general" like Zhang Rui.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I don't know what General Li is looking for?" Zhang Rui asked Li Kaifu and asked.

Kai-Fu Lee looked around, then looked at Zhang Rui, looking at him, looking like he was reluctant to speak.

At this time, Liu Muxiu was the only one in the conference hall.

Seeing this, Liu Muxiu was about to leave with a message, but heard Zhang Ruiyan say:

"This is Liu Muxiu, the chief manager of my copycat. I believe you know it too. He is not an outsider, so he can say anything in front of him."

"Yes, Brother Six. But it's not that I don't want to listen to Brother Six. But I received the order from Lord Yang that I can only discuss things with you. No one else can be present. So..." As he said, Kai-Fu Lee looked at Kai-Fu Lee next to him and said

"I'm sorry, General Manager Liu. It's not that he doesn't believe you, but that he's just a difficult military order."

"I understand. Since Brother Six is ​​back, I should do my business too." Liu Muxiu looked calm and quickly clasped his fists at the two of them.

"Then it's hard for Mr. Liu to take care of it." Zhang Rui also replied with his fist at Liu Muxiu.

After Liu Muxiu left the conference hall, Zhang Rui sat down to the seat where Liu Muxiu had just sat, picked up the teapot next to him and poured a cup of tea, and drank it.

"Tell me, what are you asking for?"
