Zhao Zhu Zaimang also knew what was going on and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Deputy General, for giving way to me."

Lieutenant General Meng said coldly, "I'm not ready yet, and you're attacking me. Forget it. You seem to be clueless. Why did you join the army?"

"I admire General Huguohou."

"Then you may not see me again."

"What? General Protector of the Nation was killed!"

"No, he returned to Beijing."

"oh."

It seems that this battle will not last for many days.

"You're quite strong, but a little bit stupid. Come with me from now on. By the way, are you ready to get married?"

"Shang 㮽."

"Okay, go down."

Zhao Zhu's bet was right, and he was favored by his superiors. But was Zhao Zhu really stupid? He was not stupid at all, he just pretended to be stupid, looking more like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

In this way, when the superiors promote him, he will have a sense of accomplishment and more trust. From then on, Zhao Zhu got rid of his identity as a soldier and became a follower of the deputy general.

Now that no one was bullying him, his guess was correct. The more ignorant he appeared, the more Lieutenant General Meng thought he was a rough diamond.

He would personally teach Zhao Yuzhu martial arts and archery whenever he had time, and with Zhao Yuzhu's aptitude, his progress was almost rapid.

"By the way, Master Meng, can I ask a question?"

"What's the problem?"

"Linzhou Prefecture has been in turmoil for so long. What exactly happened?"

"Don't ask about the above matters."

"oh."

"You really don't ask?"

"Ah?" Zhao Zhu looked confused.

Lieutenant General Meng really liked him, so he said, "It's for your own good that I'm not telling you. These are all matters within the imperial family. To put it simply, the Crown Prince's uncle wanted to rebel, but the Crown Prince didn't allow him to. However, His Majesty ordered that the Crown Prince's uncle must be killed alive, and the Crown Prince couldn't come. The two sides held out for a long time, but no fighting broke out. Seeing that things weren't going well, the Protector of the Nation returned to the capital to inquire about the situation. He said he would send an important figure, and the outcome should be clear soon."

Zhao Zhu: "..." Didn't you say you wouldn't tell me?

"The prince's uncle is the prince. You say we have three meals a day of rice, what a good life! Why do you have to cause chaos?"

"that is."

The two of them complained quietly.

"Hey, Ozu, you also know rice?"

"Ah...I ate it once."

"Is it tasty?"

"My mouth is so delicious that I haven't rinsed it for three days."

"It seems that the conditions in your hometown are pretty good."

"Well enough."

…

This side of Hexi Village.

As the business in Yuanjiazhou Prefecture opened up, more and more merchants began to learn about the source of goods through gossip, and orders increased day by day.

At the beginning, several female workers felt that the work was too idle and that the wages of a few hundred wen were not enough, so in the end they were kept busy all the time.

Zhao Taohua was forced to recruit three more helpers.
