    "Black paste wine? This name is really vivid, haha, it's dark enough." Zhang Lei looked at the liquid with a strong aroma and said with a smile.

    Zhang Baosheng said proudly: "You don't know, the local residents gave this to me when I accompanied Ah Chen to the mountains last time. They said drinking it can prolong life, replenish energy and strengthen yang, so I asked for the secret recipe.  , I brewed it myself, but the taste is still not as mellow as the local ones, which is a pity.¡±

    "Does it replenish qi and strengthen yang? Not bad, haha, dad, you have to make a few big pots for me." Zhang Lei laughed loudly and looked at his wives. The women did not dare to look at him.  , blushed and lowered their heads one after another. They might be lively in front of Zhang Lei, but now that their father-in-law and brother-in-law are still present, they are naturally very shy when Zhang Lei talks about these words.

    Everyone laughed and had a pleasant meal. In the evening, Zhang Lei and several ladies had a fight in the boudoir to relieve the pain of not touching women for a while.

    In the next few days, Zhang Lei stayed with them. As the new year was approaching, everyone began to prepare for the New Year, and the entire Taiping Island was much lively.

    After a pleasant new year, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before the New Year atmosphere had subsided, Zhang Lei immediately issued an order to recruit healthy and unmarried young people over the age of fifteen and under twenty-two on the entire island.  Women are to be married to unmarried men from Zhang Lei's army. In addition, a woman from the Gaoshan and Yamato tribes is specially recruited to marry Zhang Chen.  If you wish, you can register at the local government office.

    As soon as this news was released, the entire Taiping Island was shocked. Zhang Lei meant that no matter what the origins of these women were, even the captives who came to Taiping Island could participate.  This is something that is unimaginable for anyone, because no one in this world has ever treated prisoners of war as equals to ordinary people.

    Whether you believe it or not, this thing just happened, in black and white.  It is plastered all over the notice boards on Taiping Island, and there is no room for any deception or disbelief.

    Suddenly, there was an endless stream of applicants, and among them the largest number were those who wanted to marry Zhang Chen.  This is a matter of course, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that among these people.  Zhang Chen is Zhang Lei's younger brother. Marrying him is equivalent to becoming a "relative of the emperor". Who wouldn't be tempted?

    Although no one likes speculation, everyone is thinking about gaining profits through speculation. They use everything they can use, just after they can't get what they want.  Then he began to stand on the moral high ground and condemn all these behaviors as illegal. In the final analysis, it was still sour grapes.  People don¡¯t tell the truth: they say that political power is a drug, they are just playing around; they say that money is the source of sin, they are all trying to make money; they say that beauty is a scourge, they all want it; they say that it is too cold to be in high places, they are all climbing; they say that people smoke and drink  Hurt the body.  They refuse to quit; they say that heaven is the most beautiful, but they don¡¯t even go there.

    On this day, Zhang Lei called Zhang Chen over and said, "Brother, do you know how popular you are now? There are several streets lined up with women who want to marry you."

    "Come on, brother, you can make fun of me all the time. It's too exaggerated."

    Zhang Lei laughed loudly: "What I said is true. If you don't believe it, the two of us can go out and take a look to see if what I said is true."

    "Well, okay, I really want to see it. Who are they who want to marry me without even meeting me?" Zhang Chen also really wanted to see what it was like, so he  I agreed immediately.

    "Haha, what's the point? Look, when your sister-in-law married me, didn't we two meet each other? This thing, love grows over time, and feelings will come after we get together for a long time. What are you afraid of? Besides,  Okay, now that I'm here to keep you in check, are you afraid of marrying those ugly and ugly people?"

    Zhang Chen quickly denied it and said: "No, no, of course it's not this issue that I'm worried about. It's just Hey, I can't explain it clearly. Let's go out."

    When the two came out, they were naturally not riding horses. They were wearing ordinary clothes, and their identities could not be identified at all.  The streets were bustling with people. Zhang Lei's policies were good and everyone had more spare money, which naturally promoted the development of the commodity economy. Moreover, the price and exchange rate of currency were directly and rigidly stipulated by Zhang Lei. Paper currency  The denomination is linked to the price of gold, which is relatively stable. The simplification and stability of the currency further promotes economic prosperity.

    Since we came to see the registration, we naturally went to the government office.  Marriage is a pleasant and relaxing thing, which goes against the seriousness and rigidity of the yamen. It seems that the two cannot be brought together, so it is specially designated in the inn closest to the government. This is Zhang Lei's instruction. Those inns  Naturally, I tried my best to handle this big thing.

      The entire Taiping Island followed the political structure and divisions before Zhang Lei's arrival. Zhang Lei only strengthened the systems in various places, which was something that he was comfortable with.

    The place where the Taiping Palace is located is the only area on the entire island that is directly under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Palace, but there is still a government office on the most prosperous Creation Road here.  Zhang Lei and others came to an inn called Jingmao in front of the government office. Looking around, they saw that most of them were young and beautiful girls. There were also many men who came to admire the beauties.

    Zhang Lei smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Look, I didn't lie to you, I came here to prepare to marry you."

    "Then how did you know you were marrying me? There are so many people in the army, and women all like soldiers." Zhang Chen said unconvinced.

    "Haha, if what I said is correct, you will know when you go and take a look. Let's go in." Zhang Lei said.

    The two of them entered the inn, and immediately a waiter came over and asked: "You two, the guest rooms in our hotel are full. If you are staying in the hotel, please find another hotel. I'm really sorry. If you are a diner, can I make room for you two?"  table."

    "Are the guest rooms full? It seems business has been good recently." Zhang Lei said with a smile.

    The waiter in the shop said proudly: "That's right, since Mr. Zhang posted the notice, our shop has been full every day, and all the beauties staying here are from all over the place. Those who arrive late can only go to other places.  "

    "There are so many girls, so we should pay attention to their safety. Maybe the girls here will become prosperous in the future. If something goes wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss." Zhang Lei said calmly.

    The waiter at the shop took over and said, "Hey, who says it's not the case? We have already invited the policemen from the government office, and they are here just to prevent the gangsters from causing trouble. Ah, after saying so much, we haven't even invited two of them.  A guest has come in, it¡¯s really rude and rude, please come inside.¡±

    The two entered the inn and understood more intuitively what the waiter said. There were young girls everywhere, chatting with people they knew.  It is indeed very eye-catching to stay here and look at these beauties.

    The waiter from the shop came over again and asked: "You two, what would you like to eat?"

    Zhang Lei said without thinking: "I don't want to eat anything, I just came over to take a look."

    After hearing this, the waiter couldn't help but curled his lips, turned around and left. Zhang Lei heard him muttering in a low voice: "Two more people came to see women. It's really boring. If this goes on, there won't even be any guests to eat."

    Zhang Lei just smiled slightly after hearing this. It was full of customers every day. Even if no one was eating, he was still making a lot of money. Why should he complain? It was purely greedy.

    I found an empty table and sat down, watching the girls here for a while. After a while, an official appeared in the corridor on the second floor and said: "Okay, next one, No. 365, No. 3  No. 166. No. 363 and 364 go down this way and I will tell you if they are chosen."

    The two girls whose numbers were called stood up. Zhang Lei and Zhang Chen couldn't help but look over there, and realized that they were indeed as beautiful as flowers. Looking at the two girls walking down the stairs, they were not as beautiful either.  Not losing a few points.

    When the two girls went upstairs, Zhang Lei and Zhang Chen also stood up and followed them.  Just as he was about to go up the stairs, a man suddenly appeared from the corner and said, "What are you two doing? You can't go up here."

    These words attracted the attention of everyone in the inn. Seeing so many people looking at him, Zhang Lei couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He whispered: "I am Zhang Lei." He took out his identity card and said:  "Look at this."

    "Ah, it turns out to be Zhang" When the policeman saw that it was Zhang Lei, he was about to kneel down. Zhang Lei quickly helped him up and said, "Don't make any noise. My brother and I just came over to take a look. We don't want others to know."  , where else can I go up besides this staircase?"

    "Yes, in the back, there are stairs to go up to the stables." The policeman said.

    Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go up from there and you pick us up. Remember, we cannot reveal our identity to anyone."

    Then he suddenly said loudly: "If you don't want to go up, we won't go up. Let's go."

    The two people angrily left the inn. When the waiter saw them, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "These two overestimated their capabilities, are they really just acting as spies? They deserve it."

    Zhang Lei and the others left the inn and took a detour. Sure enough, they saw the stairs at the stables, so they immediately went upstairs. The police officer just now was already waiting there. When they saw the two people coming up, they said: "ZhangPeople, do you want to go in now?  "

    "You go in first, I'll stay here for a while." Zhang Lei said.

    Zhang Chen asked: "Brother, what are we doing here?" (To be continued)
