Zhang Yu asked Yu Ban to go back and stop in the city along the road, which naturally had an ulterior motive.

Many of his soldiers and horses were also recruited from outside, and their sense of belonging to Jiangdong was not so strong.

Yu Ban is also looking forward to what kind of Jiangdong this Jiangdong is.

Yu forbade them to disembark at the dock, and he paid special attention after being reminded by Zhang Yu.

First of all, this wharf is very different from the wharf in Jingzhou, which is bigger and busier.

At the same time, Yu Ban also knew that several wharves along the road were so busy.

Busy dock, but well organized.

Yu Ban is to look at the state of these workers.

It has to be said that they are in a state that is not found anywhere else.

The workers here are active, not lifeless, and their faces are full of joy.

Moreover, the workers work in an orderly manner, and it is clear that the level of management here is also very high.

"Hey, not only are they not afraid of being soldiers, but they also have a lot of respect for them."

Yu Ban saw that the workers on the road would take the initiative to give way to their troops, and their faces were not unhappy at all.

However, Yu Ban also thought that these workers were all raised by Zhang Yu, and the army was also raised by Zhang Yu, so they were more respectful.

Yu Ban did not rush to conclusions, but continued to watch.

The army quickly finished lining up at the docks and headed for the nearby city.

The army is naturally neat and orderly.

Yu Ban saw that the road here was very easy to walk, flat, wide, and relatively clean.

On the way, there were inevitably many men, women, and children, but they did not avoid it, but stood on the side of the road and watched the army pass.

Elsewhere, no matter whose army it is, even if the army doesn't bully them, they will avoid it.

The army, many armies have the habit of bullying the common people.

I have to say that it feels really good to be noticed and respected by the people.

Yu Ban continued to move forward, and then entered the city.

After entering the city, the people here have not changed much, and the city here is very prosperous, more prosperous than the city they have ever seen.

In the same way, the people of the city would give way and watch them pass.

Yu Ban was a little uneasy, from the dock to here, there were more than ten miles away, and the people they met were the same.

The people here can tell by their clothes and faces that they are living a good life.

At this time, it is winter, and it will be about a month before the farming is busy, so the people are relatively free.

There are a lot of people in the city, and they take advantage of their free time to visit the market, some to buy and some to sell.

This simple thing can be seen a lot, not to say that there are no beggars in the city, but to say that they have this leisure time, at least you can see that they are well fed and have clothes to wear.

Yu Ban understands that many people, because they can't eat enough, reduce going out, so that they are not easy to get hungry.

In addition, there are usually no winter clothes at home, and it is generally for who is going out to wear them.

But this is obviously not the case with the people here, many families come out, well fed and warmly clothed.

This is a very incredible thing in China at this time.

However, Yu Ban saw it in Jiangdong.

Yu Ban didn't know if this was a place, or because this was the core of Jiangdong, so it would be like this.

Yu Ban buried many questions in his heart, and then slowly explored them by himself.

After entering the city, they began to rest.

After marching for so long, according to the plan, Yu Ban could rest here for two days before going to the designated location.

This is a city near the wharf, and Zhang Yu will set up many points along the Yangtze River, so that the army can be quickly assembled and dispersed.

For two days, Yu Ban has a great deal of freedom.

He only had 10,000 men along the way, and Zhang Yu dispersed his army along the way, put the boats at the docks, and returned them to the people who used them.

"If you go somewhere else, just get back on time." Yu Ban thought about tomorrow's plan, and then went to sleep.

Yu Ban got up early the next day.

After getting up, he took a few guards, changed into his usual clothes, and went out of the barracks.

As soon as the city gate opened, Yu Ban galloped out, and more than a dozen fast horses galloped wildly in the field, running for more than 20 miles, and Yu Ban slowed down.

Dismount and walk slowly, observing the customs and customs here.

On the country roads, the people Yu Ban saw were similar to the people in the city.

Yu Ban, who didn't believe in evil, ran wild for dozens of miles in a row and looked at it again, and the situation was still similar.

I ran to several places in a row, and there are many villages here, and it is very peaceful.

What Yu Ban didn't understand was that he ran to many places, and what he saw the most was to hold weddings.

At this time, it is the time of agricultural slack, and the people take advantage of this time to get married and not delay the agricultural time.

Yu Ban and they also had the cheekiness to attend two weddings.

There are many things that can be seen from the wedding.

The food and drinks at the wedding are not good, but the people here can set up a dozen tables, or three or five tables, which is quite good.

There are many places where to hold a banquet, simply hold a wedding, and lead your daughter-in-law into the door.

It was a problem to have enough food at home that night, let alone a wedding.

There was also a dowry at the wedding, and the dowry was not worth much, but it could also be seen that the people were doing well.

Moreover, Yu Ban did not participate in a rich family, but an ordinary family.

Through careful observation, it can be seen that the people around us take this for granted, that is, most of the people here are like this.

Yu Ban and them attended the wedding, and they were also warmly treated, and a lot of useful information was set up at the banquet.

What shocked Yu Ban was that this was not the core area of Jiangdong.

This is Danyang County, and the most prosperous and wealthy are undoubtedly Huiji County and Wu County.

"What kind of Jiangdong is this?"

Yu Ban believed it and believed that Zhang Yu could borrow so much money from the people.

Not to mention anything else, Yu Ban knows that those who hold weddings, as long as they are willing to borrow, there must be dozens to hundreds of dollars for a family.

The most important thing is to be willing to borrow.

If most of the people in Jiangdong are willing to borrow, what a huge force it is, and how high is Zhang Yu's support.

Yu Ban is unimaginable.

came out to inspect for two days, and only went back the next night.

When he returned, he could no longer enter the city, and he did not join the army until after daybreak.

This time, Yu Ban's destination was Huiji County, and the way to go so far was also arranged by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's purpose is to give Yu Ban an intuitive understanding of Jiangdong, so that he can use it easily in the future.

In Zhang Yu's opinion, the changes in Jiangdong are very huge, he has been running Jiangdong for several years, and he hasn't seen him for almost a year, the changes are huge, even he is surprised, not to mention Yu Ban, who has never been to Jiangdong.

And Zhang Yu and they have been going down the Yangtze River, the difference is that the size of the fleet is getting smaller and smaller.
