They did not ask their son to take the imperial examination in the future, but they just hoped that they could be an accounting manager and would be satisfied with one or two taels of silver a month.

The butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang had such a thought to send Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang to study.

"It's easy to find such people. There are not many villages, but there are many such people in the county." Zhao Jin Ge said that he came to the county town almost the next day these days, but he gained a lot of knowledge.

"Yes." Jiang Zhen nodded and took Brother Zhao's hand to talk to him. It was obvious that what they said was boring, but his mood was very good.

"What are you two standing here? Get out of the way." A person who was moving goods back and forth said to them, looking at them in confusion - these two people were soaked in clothes and didn't know how to take care of themselves, and they were standing by the dock holding hands... What is this?

Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge hurried to the tea stall next to him.

Jiang Zhen was penniless, but fortunately, Brother Zhao brought the money. He spent two cents to buy two bowls of tea, and then bought four tea cakes and four tea eggs to eat.

Tea cake is a local name for a local pastry.

It is made of glutinous rice flour, a square piece with filling, and the filling placed inside is usually pork.

Glutinous rice is very full after eating it. No one dislikes pork these days. This tea cake is naturally very popular, but most people are reluctant to spend money to buy it for food.

While drinking tea, Jiang Zhen ate two tea cakes and two tea eggs, and then asked his daughter: "How is Mingzhu? Does she miss me?"

Zhao Mingzhu is only three months old now, so how could she think of people? However, Brother Zhao Jin thought she was thinking of it: "I miss you. She always cries at night and has to cry for a while before she is willing to go to bed."

When Jiang Zhen heard that his baby daughter was actually crying, he felt distressed and asked about other things in detail.

Zhao Mingzhu is a child who is easy to take care of and is in good health. Of course, she is so easy to take care of, which is probably related to the many people who take care of her.

Usually, as long as she curls her lips, someone will hug her immediately... It will be difficult for her to be unbearable even if she wants to be unfaithful.

And she would make a fuss at night because she was the only one who took her at night and occasionally she wouldn't be able to take care of her.

After Brother Zhao Jin told all about his daughter's affairs over the past few days, Jiang Zhen's fleet finally landed on the dock.

Jiang Zhen took Brother Zhao Jin to register the goods on the ship together, and by the way, he called someone to go to the village to report the message, telling the Zhao family that he was back.

After going out for more than 20 days, everyone was thinking about going home, and the unloading and registration speed was very fast. When it was getting dark, everything was taken care of.

Thinking of his daughter, Jiang Zhen certainly couldn't rest in Hecheng County for a night. He asked his subordinates to clean up, and the entire fleet left the dock of Hecheng County and headed towards the dock of Hexi Village.

When Jiang Zhen and asked Brother Zhao to go home, it was already completely dark, but the Zhao family was lit. Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao pushed the door and saw Zhao Liu holding Zhao Mingzhu and feeding her.

Zhao Mingzhu is almost three months old now, and her neck is not as soft as it was at the beginning. When she heard the sound, she turned her head. Then, she started crying with a "wow", probably because she was scared by the sudden door opening.

"Mingzhu!" Jiang Zhen couldn't do it with pain. He picked up Zhao Mingzhu from Zhao Liu's arms and started to coax: "Dad's baby Mingzhu, do you miss your father?"

Zhao Mingzhu was hugged by Jiang Zhen and stopped crying, which made Jiang Zhen even happier. At the same time, he found that his daughter was getting more beautiful as she grew.

Before, her fat face was drooping, and her whole face was small and big, which was a bit ugly, but now her upper half of her face was fat and her face was round. How beautiful!

Zhao Mingzhu didn't know if she really remembered Jiang Zhen. When Jiang Zhen "served" her, she gave her a lot of face and didn't cry at all.

People in Hexi Village don’t bathe their babies very much when they were afraid that their children would get sick. However, when Jiang Zhen was still in confinement, he bathed Zhao Mingzhu. Zhao Mingzhu was not sick yet, and later she took more and more water, so that Zhao Mingzhu was different from the children in the village and had no smell at all.

She also particularly likes taking a bath.

Jiang Zhen took a bath for her, put on a red bellyband for her to lie on the bed, and she only thought she was so cute... However, although her daughter was cute, she was not as important as a daughter-in-law at this time.

Jiang Zhen quickly coaxed his daughter to sleep, and without hesitation, he threw Brother Zhao Jin down.

The next day, Jiang Zhen took people to the county town to recruit literate people. The wages offered were 2 taels of silver per month. If they were done well, they could increase the money in the future.

There are many people who are willing. After all, although many people have learned a few words, they have never found good jobs. I heard that Jiang Zhen has recruited many people, and everyone has been rushing to tell each other.

"Chengxiang, today someone recruits people at the dock, who have to recognize words and settle accounts. There are two taels of silver a month! I have written my name there!" A young man found Jiang Chengxiang and said to Jiang Chengxiang.

"Is that so? Where?" Jiang Chengxiang was happy.

Since his lies were exposed, he has not come to the county town for a long time and has been taking care of Zhu Shufen and his daughter every day.

Although his daughter cried all day long, she was very strong and survived. After raising her for several months, Zhu Shufen's health improved a lot... Then, he came to the county town again.

He has never been a noble and arrogant person. After arriving in the county, he cried to many of his classmates and asked them to find him an errand... And the person who came to find him this time was one of his classmates, named Song Li.

"It's right there." Song Li took Jiang Chengxiang and hurried to the dock.

Jiang Chengxiang was full of expectations at first, but when he came to the dock and saw the people on the dock, his expression suddenly froze.

Those people were wearing uniform clothes, weren’t they just under Jiang Zhen’s hands? This was something that would attract people…

Jiang Chengxiang's eyes turned and he saw Jiang Zhen.

"Chengxiang, hurry up." Song Li urged.

"Wait." Jiang Chengxiang stood still and was unwilling to go there.

"Cheng Xiang, what's wrong?" Song Li looked at Jiang Chengxiang in confusion and said, "You go quickly, otherwise you will be snatched away by someone else. If you don't find an errand, what should I do?" Because Jiang Chengxiang told Song Li a lot of money when he was cheated of Jiang Chengcai's business, Song Li is now determined to believe that Jiang Chengxiang's life is very sad.

"I'm sorry, I can go if someone else invites people, but I can't go if he invites people." Jiang Chengxiang looked at Song Li, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Why?" Song Li was puzzled.

"That person... is actually my elder brother. Because my parents treat him badly, he took the initiative to marry into someone else's house and was very disgusted with our people. He definitely didn't want to ask me to do things." Jiang Chengxiang sighed.

"There is such a thing?" Song Li glanced at Jiang Zhen from afar, and immediately believed that Jiang Zhen must have forgotten his righteousness when he saw profit. After joining the rich, he forgot his biological parents.

"Of course, don't you see that? He looks very similar to me." Jiang Chengxiang said with a wry smile.

In the past, Boss Jiang and Jiang Chengxiang were not very similar, but now Jiang Zhen is indeed very similar to Jiang Chengxiang. What's more, Song Li heard Jiang Chengxiang mention that he had a big brother before.

At that time, Jiang Chengxiang was not willing to talk about his elder brother... Song Li had never known the reason before, but now he felt that he had guessed it.

It turned out that Jiang Chengxiang not only had a fool's second brother who was cheated of business by borrowing money, but also an ungrateful eldest brother. Song Li felt even more sympathetic to Jiang Chengxiang.

"My elder brother is doing the job of helping people deliver goods. Not only do I have to live on the boat for him for many years, but I will lose my life when I encounter a water bandit. Before, there were people in our village who followed him out and lost their lives... Brother Song, it would be better for you to change your errands." Jiang Chengxiang said again.

Song Li's family is well-off and has money in hand. He has been helping Jiang Chengxiang these days. Jiang Chengxiang doesn't want him to know the real situation in his family, so he naturally doesn't want Song Li to follow Jiang Zhen to do things.

Song Li is a bad temper and easily trusts others. When he heard Jiang Chengxiang say this, he immediately said, "There is still this? I must expose him!"

"Brother Song, wait!" Jiang Chengxiang hurriedly grabbed Song Li, persuaded him from both sides, and told Song Li that Jiang Zhen had something to do with the county magistrate. Finally, he persuaded Song Li to agree not to make a big deal.

Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin are currently recruiting people.

They only planned to recruit twenty people, but there were really a lot of people coming here. Jiang Zhen simply asked these people to write down their names and then go to a house he rented to take the exam tomorrow.

He didn't know the level of these people, so he came up with some questions and chose the most suitable ones from them. Some people here only recognized a few words and signed up. He didn't want this.

"This uncle, we recruit people to follow us to go to sea. We are too old to bear it." Seeing that an old man with white hair and wrinkles and looking at the older man who was a little older than Zhao Fugui, he was also going to sign up, Jiang Ming persuaded him helplessly.

"I'm very healthy, young man, it's okay to let me resist goods on the dock now." The old man was very persistent.

"It really doesn't work..." Jiang Ming was helpless, but he couldn't do anything to an old man.

Jiang Ming advised him for a long time, but the old man was reluctant to give in and even performed in public against the sack...

"I only have to be under thirty!" Jiang Zhen said, looking at the old man coldly: "Are you leaving by yourself, or do I have someone drive you away?"

Such an older person is definitely not suitable to follow the fleet. Since it is useless to persuade him with kind words, Jiang Zhen can only scare people away.

Jiang Zhen's clothing made people know at a glance that he was the leader. At this moment, he turned cold and the old man didn't dare to say anything. After looking at Jiang Zhen's subordinate standing beside him, he ran away even more.

"Hmph!" The old man ran away, but a young man squeezed in. He looked at Jiang Zhen and snorted coldly, then said to Jiang Ming, who was holding a stack of paper and was writing down his name and age: "I left my name here before, and now I will cross it out!"

"You don't want this job?" Jiang Ming looked over in surprise.

This young man is Song Li. He wanted to expose Jiang Zhen's "true face", but he was afraid that he would implicate his family and Jiang Chengxiang, so he still endured it and said, "Yes, I don't care."

"Okay, you can find it yourself and cross it out." Jiang Ming pointed to a pile of paper next to him and said.

Nowadays, big families are not recruiting people. The shopkeeper's accountants are trained by themselves or just let others do it. Even if a shop wants to recruit people, they will find acquaintances to find suitable people, and they often ask relatives to do things directly.

Therefore, although many people recognize their words, they cannot find a suitable errand... If it weren't for this, how could Jiang Chengxiang not find a errand to do for so long?

It is also because of this that Jiang Zhen recruited people in public this time, so many people came. More than 30 people have left their names now... Some people don't want to come to their place, and Jiang Ming doesn't care at all.

When Song Li saw that Jiang Ming did not take him seriously, he was a little angry. He was a child who had been to school for a long time! He was much better than others!

Song Li found the paper he had written before and was about to tear it apart in public, saying that he did not take the errand seriously, but the people behind him rushed forward and squeezed him away. The people were still rushing to hope that Jiang Zhen would give them an errand.

Holding the paper with his name written on it, Song Li was so angry.

Song Lizheng was angry and saw an acquaintance coming.

That acquaintance is also a classmate of Song Li, named Zheng Baoning.

Although Zheng Baoning's surname is Zheng, it has nothing to do with the Zheng family where Zheng Yi is. At most, it was a family hundreds of years ago, and his family's life was not good.

Zheng Baoning's father was a small businessman who made a living by selling things. He originally went out four times a year, and each time he earned a net profit of ten taels of silver after spending. Not only did he live a good life, but he could also study.

But later, his father went out and encountered someone asking for trouble and was kicked...

His father didn't take it seriously, but he didn't know that he had actually been kicked and injured his internal organs. After he returned home, his stomach became bigger and bigger, and he had recently suffered from pain.

Without the pillars at home, Zheng Baoning naturally couldn't read. He was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, and could not find any errands, and his handwriting was not very good, so he couldn't copy books to make a living... In the end, he actually made money by painting embroidery for people.

A big man paints patterns on a group of women Shuang'er all day long. What's that? I heard that he even paints patterns on his bellyband for those secret prostitutes... Song Li was a little embarrassed about Zheng Baoning, and felt that Zheng Baoning had fallen.

When he saw Zheng Baoning in the past, he would advise him to find a serious errand, but this time...

Seeing that Zheng Baoning seemed to want to do something for Jiang Chengxiang's elder brother, Song Li quickly grabbed him: "Zheng Baoning, that errand is very dangerous. If you listen to me, it is better to change errands."

When Zheng Baoning heard this, he immediately frowned.

Song Li was really a full man who didn't know that the hungry man was hungry.
