Luo Heng nodded slowly and said: "It's not that I don't believe in Xin'er, I just think that if Xin'er goes to do business and let others know that he becomes a businessman, he will be looked down upon by those who read, and it will affect his future as an official." ”
"Yes, Xin'er." Luo Zhi took over the conversation and said with concern: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, the status of businessmen is the lowest, if you go to business, you will lose the opportunity to be an official. Businessmen compete for profit and are despised by Shilin, don't be careless. ”
Luo Xin nodded and said, "I know, I'm just giving some ideas to others, and it's not me who is in business." ”
"That's good!" Luo Heng and Luo Zhi nodded together, with a relaxed look on their faces. Then, Luo Heng's face tightened again:
"We packed up overnight and tried to get into the city as soon as possible."
"Dad, we only have one ox cart in our family, which is not enough at all." Luo Ye Road.
"Then make another car overnight, and I, you, and Sheng'er will take turns pulling the car at that time."
Luo Ye looked at Luo Ping and said, "Second brother, you have three horses at home, can you borrow a horse-drawn cart?" ”
Before Luo Ping could speak, Luo Xin immediately spoke: "No, we can't guarantee that we won't meet the rogues on the way to the county seat, so all the horses must be ready to fight at any time." ”
At first, I heard that Luo Xin disagreed, let alone Luo Ye, even Luo Heng's face was a little unsightly, but after listening to Luo Xin's explanation, Luo Heng glared at Luo Ye and said:
"Do you hear that? At such an age, it is not as thoughtful as Xin'er. ”
"Yes!" Luo Ye lowered his head and answered.
"Grandpa, our family has three horses, and Uncle Zhang's family also has three, and when the time comes, the four members of the teacher's family will also leave with us, so that we will have ten horses, as long as we don't run into a large stream of rogues. We should be able to reach the county seat safely. ”
"Hmm!" Luo Heng said with a hint of pride on his face: "Grandpa is not a vegetarian either, and the Zhang family should still have some light and strong family members to follow, even if there are one or two hundred rogues, we can also clean it up." ”
Luo Xin also nodded, chatted a few more words, and Luo Ping and Luo Xin took their leave. When he went out, Luo Xin told his father that he was going to Lin Chang's house. invited the teacher to go to the county seat with him, and walked towards Lin Chang's house, while Luo Ping went back to pack his things.
Lin Chang agreed very happily, in this era, teachers are like fathers, Lin Chang feels that it is normal to go to the county seat to live in Luo Xin's house. After receiving the teacher's permission, Luo Xin happily returned home.
The next day.
The whole village was busy, and Zhang Shu and his family were busy distributing grain. Zhang Shu's wife instructed the other servants in the family to pack up some things to be moved, such as soft and grain.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun rode horses to Shanglin Village with four officials. The two of them were afraid that Zhang Shu and Luo Xin would not move to the county seat, so they rushed back to Shanglin Village in person. And Zhou Zhixian was not worried about the two of them, so he selected four officials with the best martial arts to protect them.
Luo Xin was happy when he saw the two of them, each of them also had a knife on him, this was not the kind of decorative saber that Xiucai carried, but a real murderous knife. It's just that these guys don't want to be able to cut people when they hold knives.
This busy time has been busy for six days, and in fact, most of the time is waiting for Zhang Shu's family. The Luo family is a small family, even if the Luo Xin family is improving now, but the time is too short and there is not much to take. An ox cart solved the problem, and on the cart was the large box in which Luo Xin had transcribed the article. Then there is the grain that occupies some space, and as for the soft ......
Luo Xin's family doesn't have much silver, but his grandfather's family has a lot of things, which makes Luo Xin sigh, it's really worth a broken family, as long as this family exists for a long time. There will be a lot of things. There was a full ox cart, and a cart pulled by Luo Ye, and just like that, there were some things on the Luo Xin's ox cart.
Zhang Shu's family loaded four carts, two ox carts and two donkey carts. There was also a cart pulled by a mule, on which Zhang Shu's wife sat and invited Luo Xin's grandmother, mother, aunt and aunt, as well as Zhang Shu's two brothers and daughters-in-law, plus a few little girls to sit on it, and as for the man, he walked on two legs.
Zhang Shu's two younger brothers also have two carts each, an ox cart and a donkey cart. Now there are twelve cars in total, but eleven of them are pulled by livestock, and one car in Luo Heng's family is pulled by Luo Ye.
The number of horses has increased to sixteen, but Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun actually have no combat power, so they can't be counted as cavalrymen at all. But no one dared to borrow horses from them, even Luo Ye, who pulled the cart, was not easy to open his mouth, and Luo Xin was even more difficult to open his mouth. If they encounter a rogue, these two men can also flee on horseback. Zhou Yu is the son of Zhou Zhixian and the son of Zhang Xun's Zhang Shu. Zhang Xun wanted to give the horse to his father to ride, but Zhang Shu sat next to the owner of the car, resolutely not to ride, and told him that once there was a rogue, he would quickly ride away if he had the opportunity, and leave him alone.
Luo Xin asked Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun to take the four palace officials, and with their combat strength, they couldn't charge into battle at all, and it was okay to run behind. The three cavalry members of the Zhang Shu family were placed on the right by Luo Xin, and the four family members of the Lu Mansion were placed on the left by Luo Xin, and the remaining one was used as a scout to explore in front. And Luo Ping, Luo Qing and Luo Xinye walked in the front to open the way.
At the beginning, Luo Ye and Luo Sheng still wanted to ask Luo Xin to give up their horses to one of them, they were worried that Luo Xin would hurt himself by charging as a scholar, but Luo Xin's sentence "Your riding skills are not good" made the two of them droop their heads. The two of them had never ridden a horse, and last time they robbed Zhang Shujiading's horse to chase and kill the rogue, but both of them almost fell off their horses. And Luo Xin's father and son had horses early at home, and Luo Xin didn't ride less when he went back and forth to the county, so he still had some foundation in riding.
Shanglin Village gradually moved away behind it, and twelve cars, plus dozens of people, headed towards the county seat on the road, pulling into a line. Zhang Yunniang sat on the donkey cart and looked at Luo Qing's back, her eyes blinking, and her face was flushed.
The sound of horses' hooves woke up Zhang Yunniang, who was in a daze, and when she raised her eyes to look ahead, she saw that the family member in the Lu Mansion was riding a horse and rushing towards them.
"Master Luo, it's not good." The housekeeper's face was grim.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xin was also startled, and hurriedly asked.
"The county town has been closed with its gates, and the suspension bridge has been suspended, so it is not allowed to enter the city. Many displaced people gathered outside the city and were kept out. ”
"Why?" At this time, everyone gathered around and asked.
