Chapter 10 Shu County Anjia

The Hummer finally entered the city. In order to prevent unnecessary panic, Chen Zhixian ordered several servants to open the way in front with gongs. As he walked, he shouted, "This thing is called a Hummer. This car is just beaten with iron, not a demon. The residents of the county should not panic or spread rumors. Violators should be punished by demons and deceive the public"

Despite this, there are many people watching the Hummer carriage on the way to the county government. Almost half of the residents in Shu County gathered on the three floors and outside the three floors. These people gathered here to see the strange thing called the Hummer.

This is very happy with the large and small stall owners who sell snacks along the way, and five or six hotels facing the street.

In order to see clearly what the Hummer is, the flat-headed people who have little money are scrambling to spend a few cents to get a seat in the snack stall. The little brother and lord of money, the peddler asked for a window seat in the hotel facing the street, and looked down at the demeanor of the Hummer.

Along the way, there were boos, admirations and surprises one after another. Some people even impulsively tried to touch what the Hummer felt like, whether it was a real Hummer or a horse in the car. It was because of such speculations that people's curiosity was aroused, and some people even did not hesitate to try it.

But the yamen on both sides of the Hummer will not let them do this, otherwise it will be a mess. Several times, someone tried to rush out and was whipped back by the yamen.

In the car, Han Huahua told Zhao Ze that he went straight along this street to the county government. There was a bridge in front of the market. The bridge was called Longshu Bridge. The butcher shop next to the bridge was her house. Zhao Ze found it effortlessly according to Han Huahua's guidance, but the car could also drive there. The arch bridge really passed. No.

Everyone got out of the car, and Li Xiaoniang also helped her sister get out of the car. Zhao Ze helped to call someone. For a moment, a strong man with tendons ran out. Without saying a word, he picked up Han Huahua and looked at the house behind the butcher shop and forgot to thank Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze is a casual person and doesn't care too much about these. What's more, he still has something to do. He took out a cloth bag from the Humbus, stuffed two things in and carried it on his body, and asked Lao Liu to stay and look at the Hummer. After that, he followed a group of government officials and went straight to the county government office to see Lord Chen.

Behind the county government office is the residence of the magistrate, which is also a place where people are usually treated. It is a clean and elegant courtyard.

In the middle, there is a spacious and bright large tile room and an east-west wing room.

Before entering the door, Zhao Ze took out a piece of silver from his arms. It is estimated that ten taels were handed over to the government official who had just sent him in. He said, "Thank you brothers for opening the way to the younger brother just now, so that the younger brother can enter the city smoothly. There is no respect for the little intention. I hope the government official will accept it!"

The servist, dressed in a fast-catching costume, was so happy that he was almost happy. He quickly hugged his fist and thanked Zhao Ze for his kindness, and then took it. Before leaving, he told Zhao Ze, "His name is Guan Fei, and his name is Zilong. He is here's catcher here. He thanked him on behalf of his brother outside. In the future, Zhao Ze wants to Feel free to contact him if you have something to do."

Zhao Ze nodded his head and sent him away before knocking on the door and reporting his name.

Chen Zhixian in the house has been ready for a long time. He answered and asked Zhao Ze to go in to talk.

Zhao Ze gently opened the door and turned into the room. He saw that Chen Zhixian had taken off his official uniform, changed into a narrow-sleeved, cyan brocade robe, belted leather belts around his waist, soft-soled shoes, wore nylon scarves, and was sitting in the hall with a tea bowl. He saw that his temperament should be a few years younger than Huang County lieutenant at the age of forty-five or six.

When Chen Zhixian saw Zhao Ze come in and put down the tea bowl in his hand, he bowed slightly and motioned Zhao Ze to sit down.

After Zhao Ze sat down, he put the cloth bag on his body aside. First, he was polite to Chen Zhixian. Chen Zhixian asked Zhao Ze about Zhao Ze's situation. Zhao Ze answered one by one, and then he mentioned the matter of Chen's head who opened a workshop in Taocheng Town to the lord of Zhixian, and also presented Chen's jade pendant to Chen Zhixian with both hands.

Chen Zhixian and his brother named Chen Hu (Chen Catcher) can be said to be deeply affectionate and inseparable from each other. After receiving the letter in the city just now, he was thinking about it. Since Zhao Ze has handed over all the means to build a bicycle, it saves a lot of trouble. There is no need to pay a lot more money for him, but It's why my younger brother said at the end of the letter that he should treat this little brother surnamed Zhao well. The tone is absolutely true, not to mention the current jade pendant. Chen Zhixian understands this jade pendant. This is his brother's little thing. He also has a jade rabbit, unlike his brother's jade tiger. When he sees this jade tiger, he will It's equivalent to seeing his brother with his own eyes. Thinking about it, Chen Zhixian felt that things would definitely not be so simple. In addition, when Zhao Ze entered the city today, he drove a car called Hummer. He could go on the road by himself without cattle and horses. It was more than a million times better than the previous bicycle that needed manpower to pedal. It seems that his younger brother must be I was asked to keep this person, and I guess I will use him in the future. In this case, Chen Zhixian stood up and walked in front of Zhao Ze twice.

When I came up with an idea, I turned around and stopped in front of Zhao Ze and asked, "Brother Zhao, my brother said that you are a usable talent. I intend to recommend you to work in this county. I don't know what Zhao Xiaoge thinks?"

As soon as Zhao Ze heard that there was a door, it was better to do a little work than to sit and eat in the mountains, so he immediately got up and thanked Chen Zhixian: "Thank you very much for your success. If it can be used by adults, it's really a blessing for three lifetimes. It's so troublesome for you!"

After saying that, Zhao Ze straightened up and looked at Chen Zhixian respectfully, hoping that Chen Zhixian could arrange a good job.

"Okay, in this case, at present, the county government is short of an errand. If the little brother doesn't give up, he can take this position!" Chen Zhixian nodded and said.

"Thank you for your success. Let's go back and prepare first. Find a place to stay first. When the arrangement is right, I will report to the county government office immediately."

Hearing Zhao Ze's words, Chen Zhixian was very satisfied and felt that the young man's quick behavior was indeed not bad, but he was not in a hurry. He immediately waved his hand.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry. You can get familiar with the county for two days. After arranging the accommodation, it's not too late to come to the county office. I will help you record your name first!"

"Thank you so much, my lord. When I came down, I prepared two things by myself. Although it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall, it's okay. Please have a look!"

After saying that, Zhao Ze took the cloth pocket and took out a long thing and a short thing.

"What is this?" Chen Zhixian asked puzzledly.

"Adults, this is called a flashlight. It uses the sunlight stored in the daytime. When the night comes, adults just need to push this button to turn on the switch and release the daylight inside. There is no need to use the switch back. And if adults don't use this flashlight, it is best to put it in the daylight during the day. Lower the light so that it can absorb enough light for use at night!"

Chen Zhixian took the object called the flashlight, played it for a while, and tried it himself. Sure enough, he saw a beam of light suddenly shot out of it, and the light that was waiting to be turned on the switch disappeared again.

"Oh... What the little brother made is really wonderful. It's wonderful." Chen Zhixian took the flashlight and couldn't put it down. He turned it on and off for a while, and took a photo here and there for a while. He stopped when it was very easy to use. He put down the flashlight and asked Zhao Ze

"Brother Zhao, what is the other one, and the ticking sound!"

Zhao Ze immediately introduced, "Your Excellency, this is called an alarm clock. Don't we calculate the time by looking at the sun clock, looking at the leaking pot, looking at the sun, and counting the 24 hours? Now with this alarm clock, it's clear at a glance. My lord, please have a look!"

"This... What's up there?" Chen Zhixian looked at the strange symbols in the so-called alarm clock puzzledly.

"Oh, adults suddenly thought of this when he was looking at the Taoist exorcism symbol when he was studying downstream. The symbol on it is called a number. From 1 to 12, these 12 numbers are around an iron plate, and the two long and short pointers in the middle are used to indicate the current time..."

Next, Zhao Ze took a lot of effort to understand the use of the alarm clock and the basic operation principle. Chen Zhixian seemed to understand it, but he remembered that the alarm clock had to be clocked up every few days, so that it could never stop rotating. Looking at the numbers on it, you can know the current one. Hours.

Although this alarm clock is exquisitely made, in Chen Zhixian's view, it is far less practical than the flashlight. If there is a flashlight in the future, it will save the ignition handle and lanterns at night. The torch and lantern not only consumes fire oil, cotton cloth, candles and paper, but also inconvenient to carry. There is also a certain danger. How can it be compared with this flashlight? The tube is not only convenient to carry, but also beautiful. Well, it's good. If it is well cultivated and promoted, it will become a great tool in the future.

Thinking about this, Chen Zhixian valued Zhao Ze more. The original two-day holiday was one more day, and asked the people around him to send Zhao Ze away.

Zhao Ze happily left the county government and went straight to Han Xiaocan's meat shop of Han Huahua's family.

After crossing the Longshu Bridge, Zhao Ze saw Lao Liu standing next to the car with a big tile basin in his hand, and there were many people lined up behind him. Anyone who passed in front of Lao Liu had to throw a penny into the tile basin. If he lost a lot, Lao Liu would let others touch the Hummer. Those who lost less could only take a closer look. But even so, Lao Liu The big tile basin was full. When Lao Liu looked up and saw Zhao Ze's eyebrows coming over.

I forgot the words I had just prepared, but talked to a cook who sold cake and said to him, "I will stand there and collect money for him, and I will reward him a hundred yuan at the end."

How can I find such a good job? Naturally, I am full of promises to buy cooking cakes.

Lao Liu took off his body and trotted to Zhao Ze's side. He arched his hand and asked, "Brother, what's it going on? What did Chen Zhixian say!"

"Well, your little brother is developed. Chen Zhixian asked me to be the deposit here. From tomorrow on, we should be familiar with this Shu County. In three days, your little brother will take office!"

"Ah, this is great news. Congratulations, brother, congratulations." Lao Liu patted his flattery and turned around. "Brother, as soon as you entered Lao Liu just now, I thought that I would encounter a good thing, so I made a decision to watch the Hummer collect money... This, this thing to do, Lao Liu, I also want to make money for a while and invite my brother to have a meal to celebrate, and ask for forgiveness!"

After saying that, Lao Liu lowered his head and looked at Zhao Ze.

"Forget it, you are also kind-hearted. I know that it's better to stop the errand of collecting money from the Hummer. Let's go to the county first and do a big thing!"

"What's the big deal, little brother!"

"The place to stay, is it possible to stay in the inn? We are new here, I think..." Zhao Ze thought about it and thought about whether it was better to buy a house or rent a house. After looking at the facades around him, Zhao Ze made up his mind to rent it for the time being. If he gets into trouble like Taocheng Town, he will suffer. At that time, it will be inconvenient to get out, and it costs a lot of money. It seems that it is still cost-effective to rent.

"How about it, brother, rent a house or buy a house?" Lao Liu asked.

"Rent, rent a house! Let's rent a house first."

Zhao Ze decided to lock the Hummer and followed Lao Liu to the market, hoping to try his luck there.

Lao Liu is both an old man and a local. Even if it is the first time he comes to Shu County, he at least knows the customs and habits at that time. He is very clear about renting a house. After going around the market a few times and buying some snacks with Zhao Ze, he found out a tooth that specializes in introducing such things. The tooth is also an intermediary. .

This man's surname is Wu Ming Er. He was originally a scoundrel in the county. Later, when he was old, he flattered a good wife. He found a job in the pharmacy. However, Wu Er still likes to inquire about things in his spare time. Wu Er did not know anything about the county, and it was even easier to rent a house.

After being instructed by Zhao Ze and Lao Liu, they quickly found the Cao's pharmacy near the East Gate. At that time, Wu Er happened to send the medicine back. As soon as Zhao Ze entered the door, he met him. As soon as he asked, Wu Er knew that the person in front of him was the future Lord of the escort. He hurriedly asked the shopkeeper for leave and personally took Zhao Ze to rent a house.

Zhao Ze's requirements for renting a house are not high. As long as he can drive his Humvee to the gate, there are two rooms in the courtyard, and the surrounding environment is elegant and not too noisy.

This is easy to do. There are at least a dozen rental houses in Wu Er's mind. From the south of the city to the north of the city, and from the east of the city to the west of the city, the good houses are basically concentrated on the north-south, east and west streets, so it only takes one family to see.

The time soon came to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. After being tired all afternoon, Zhao Ze finally chose a house, which was located in the direction near the East City Gate. It was not far from the county government office. The two-story and three-room house was just on the street. The second floor was a small attic. There was a large yard behind the house. There was a leafy fruit tree planted in the yard, next to the left and right. She is a native of Shu County. He is honest and reliable. It is not as noisy as the north of the city. The Hummer can be parked in front of the house.

With Wu Er's help, Zhao Ze spent 3 taels of silver to rent this house. After that, Zhao Ze gave Wu Er 1 taels of silver, saying that it was hard work, but Wu Er was also a smart man. How dare he be ashamed to receive the money from the future deposit, but Zhao Ze said, "You have to distinguish between public and private. He If Wu Er doesn't accept this money, maybe someone will gossip behind his back and say that Lord Si will bully others. That's not good!"

Since Zhao Ze said this, Wu Er also followed the pole and happily accepted this pair of silver. Finally, in order to get close to Zhao Ze, he told Zhao Ze that Wu Er was not good at anything else. He knew almost everything about big and small things inside and outside Shu County. If Zhao Ze still has something to inquire about, just ask, Wu Er should know everything. There is no end to words.

However, Zhao Ze just asked. If Wu Er is free tomorrow, he may need a guide to take him around, and he will pay the guide fee!

Wu Er quickly agreed and said, "As long as it's the matter of Lord Shi, it's my Wu Er's business. I won't take Wu Er as a guide tomorrow!" At that time, I will wait for you in the store."

Zhao Ze said, "Well, in this case, I will do my best today. I have to go to the market to buy something. See you tomorrow!"

Wu Er arched his hand and said goodbye to Zhao Ze and went straight back to the medicine shop. Zhao Ze still had a lot of things to do. Decorating his new home is one thing.

In order to decorate this new home, Zhao Ze and Lao Liu were busy until the night.
