Seeing so many big shots, won't this Zhao Jin get off the horse? I don't know how thick the sky is, the person standing in the third row of the wealthy businessman team, even the head of my family has to bow to see him, and he usually sends a steward to our Zhuangzi to receive him as a distinguished guest, this Zhao Jin is just a big one, why is the shelf so big.

However, everyone immediately noticed that Zhao Jin's expression was very normal, and he did not deliberately make any pride or coercion, and the wealthy businessmen also did it naturally, and seemed to take it for granted that Zhao Jin did not get off the horse.

Zhao Jin nodded, shook the reins, and the horse team began to move again, and the team rode horses past the people who greeted them, and the wealthy businessmen all breathed a sigh of relief, and many people were still muttering over there: "I haven't seen it for a few days, and the power on my body is a lot heavier, and it is not worse than Lord Futai." "What's more, it's not worse than the grandfather of Nanjing City."

There was also discussion in the ranks of the martial artists, and there was a snarky self-deprecation that said: "We are famous figures, and we don't even deserve to be introduced here!" ”

"He Zhao Jin is also lucky" There are also people who want to say big things to support the scene, but they were torn off by the people around them halfway through the words, and when they looked back, they were pointed to the distance by the person.

The horsemen on the other side of the river are still going ashore, and after forming a company, they are lining up to follow, watching these ironclad cavalry passing by in a group, all the warriors have nothing to say, there is nothing to do in front of such a force except awe, there is indeed such a power that can be proud of everyone.

************

The ironclad cavalry needs a very wide space to march in formation, although the main streets of Qingjiangpu are wide, they can not accommodate such a team, if the column is too narrow, then it is not conducive to the protection of Zhao Jin, so Zhao Jin and the horsemen did not go to Qingjiangpu, but went around the perimeter in a circle, and went directly to the barracks of the original third brigade to stop, and the families there have already gone to the new camp, leaving a patrol squadron to maintain guards.

In fact, when Zhao Jin immediately returned the salute, he looked at the martial arts team very carefully, but after watching it, he was a little disappointed, not as surprised as expected, and even looked a little familiar, this is normal, there are too many people like this around Zhao Jin.

On the side of the camp where they lived this time, there was also a team to greet them, these people were all their own families, Dong Bingfeng, Zhou Xuezhi, Li Dajin, Wei Mugen and so on were qualified to come here, Li Ziyou of the Chengbei was also invited here, at this time his face was full of excitement, according to etiquette, Zhao Ziying's own family should go to the dock to greet him, but this time Zhao Jin greeted in advance, so as not to let outsiders see all the local principals gathered together, so they could only be greeted in the camp.

"I've seen Big Brother." Dong Bingfeng greeted the salute first, and after not seeing him for a long time, Dong Bingfeng was very happy, but he was introverted by nature, and it was already the limit to show that this Cheng dù was already the limit.

Zhao Jin stepped forward and slapped Dong Bingfeng's chest with his fist, turned his head with a smile and said: "Look, what is the appearance of a famous general, this is what a famous general looks like, I heard that Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou still have you painted in the painting." ”

Dong Bingfeng blushed a little embarrassed and bowed his head, everyone laughed, this time Wang Zhaojing and Liu Yong also came here, Dong Bingfeng stepped forward to greet one by one, and the others also stepped forward to greet Zhao Jin in turn, among the Zhao Jin brothers, Wang Zhaojing had the best appearance and demeanor, but Wang Zhaojing was a scholar, and Dong Bingfeng was tall, with an ape back and a bee waist, born in a rich family, good looking, and well maintained, there are some legends in Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou.

According to the news inquired by Yunshanxing and the internal guard, it is said that there are famous artists in Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou who went to see Dong Bingfeng's appearance, went back to copy the image in his memory, and then painted it on the painting, what Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Li Jing and other handsome and famous generals are all according to this painting, and as soon as the painting came out, it was called both form and spirit by people who know how to do it, and there is a legend that such a painting is very popular in the boudoir of a large family

"The lord came with a thousand horsemen to escort this time, it really increased the prestige of our Zhao Ziying, the people here are ridiculous, you will only be respectful if you show off, we strictly abide by the rules on weekdays, these people are unscrupulous and suspicious, but the ordinary floods are said to be ruined by them." Zhou Xuezhi said with a smile, but he could hear that he felt a lot of emotion.

"We are not the same now as before, we used to concentrate on doing things, but now we have to behave outside, and my eldest brother has to come out often to support the scene." Wang Zhaojing echoed with a smile.

Zhao Jin only shook his head there, and said helplessly: "This is really boring. ”

Everyone entered the conference hall, and after the family members brought tea, Li Dajin and Wei Mugen began to introduce the arrangements of the martial arts competition in detail.

"The chamber of commerce here originally wanted to invite Jin Ye to participate in the opening and closing, but after the subordinates discussed with Yong Ye, they felt that Jin Ye only appeared in the last few games, and this time nearly five hundred people came to participate in this martial arts conference, and there were more people to see the excitement, and the people at the beginning were too mixed, and the risk was too great, but there were few people in the last few games, and it was easy for us to control it here."

"The subordinates are not in good hands, Qingjiangpu is not completely under control now, only a few wharves in the canal can be kept an eye on, but many people from the south to the north are not all on the wharf, for the sake of safety, this time the action of the master in Qingjiangpu will not be so free, if you want to go somewhere, please inform in advance, or you don't have to inform in advance, and then do ...... to the end."

Li Dajin and Wei Mugen said very truthfully, they could arrange the arrangements in advance, and outsiders could not target them when it came to the end, so these two items were the safest, Zhao Jin understood what they said, just nodded and said: "There are so many people in your hands, hundreds of thousands of people here, and there are such a large number of people in and out every day, it is impossible to completely control it, just control the key points." ”

After saying this, Zhao Jin turned to Dong Bingfeng and asked, "How is it over there?" ”

"Prepare according to the instructions of the eldest brother, please rest assured that the eldest brother." Dong Bingfeng replied in a deep voice.

Zhao Jin nodded, after he finished speaking, Zhou Xuezhi spoke below: "Master, the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce and Yangzhou businessmen are now staring at two things, one is the trade of Haizhou Port, and the other is the business of Xuzhou cloth, there are leading figures in Yangzhou who say that if they can share the profits in Haizhou Port and Xuzhou cloth, they are willing to pay for the repair of the Salt River, Qingjiangpu is mainly for a qualification to enter the business, and we can mention the usual taxes or something, lord, it is just right for them to say this, and they can save us a lot of silver. If this river can be repaired and put into use, Haizhou Port will be alive! ”

The so-called "Salt River" is a canal from Haizhou Salt Field to Yangzhou, the purpose is to transport salt goods from Haizhou to Yangzhou, this canal is actually connected by many rivers, there are not many artificially excavated river sections, but these artificially excavated rivers are the bottleneck of the Salt River, there are many problems, the river bank collapses, the river is silted, and there are people who occupy the water and so on.

Although this salt river is very important to the salt merchants, but because it is not their own industry, so there is no one to repair and maintain, as long as it can be used, it will be used, as for the salt administration-related yamen official office to ignore it, the public funds related to the repair of the river have long been divided and cleaned, and there is no penny to spend at all, this is rare, in fact, it is also the norm, the salt field is related to the wealth of each family, but the Haizhou salt field is also dilapidated, and the efficiency is extremely poor.

Originally, Zhao Ziying did not pay much attention to this river, but after the construction of Haizhou Port, this river is very critical, this port terminal can undertake the entry and exit of maritime cargo personnel, but the arrival of cargo personnel, how to enter the inland, if there is only land transportation, can only use cattle and horses carts and manpower, then the cost will be too high, the radiation distance is limited, the current goods of Haizhou Port is for Haizhou nearby states and counties and radiation Huai'an North District Grange, although Xuzhou and Pizhou are much closer to Haizhou Port than Qingjiangpu, However, because it is connected by waterway to Qingjiangpu, the goods in Qingjiangpu are more advantageous in terms of price and time.

This is also the reason why the clam port is currently more valuable than the port of Haizhou, the water transportation is much more convenient, but if there is a river can be connected to the canal and the Yellow River, the sea ship can send goods, you can transport the river into the canal and the Yellow River, and then through the guò waterway to the south and north, to Xuzhou Pizhou, to all parts of the world, the same way, the goods transported out of the north and south of the river to the sea port to Haizhou port and then sold overseas, can do this, the whole Haizhou port will live, the value will be stronger than the clam port, Even because the port conditions are better, it will even far exceed.

Zhao Ziying's people have long been eyeing this salt river, and they are also ready to invest enough manpower and financial resources, but since the construction of the Yellow River dam, the digging of ditches in Xuzhou and Pizhou, and the construction of water conservancy, the center of Zhao Ziying is very clear about the cost of similar projects.

It's not that Zhao Ziying doesn't have this money, but there are too many places to spend money now, and too much investment in one place alone, other directions will also be affected. The salt merchants are willing to pay this silver out, which is naturally the best, and Yangzhou salt merchants have other benefits to participate in it, from Haizhou to Yangzhou this line, most of them are not within the control of Zhao Ziying, dredging the river here, it is necessary to deal with the government and local tyrants, and it is not easy to do it if it is not their own territory.

And from Haizhou to Yangzhou, the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the coastal east coast, are the salt merchants hold the place, what they want to do, up and down to give a convenience, Yangzhou businessmen involved, manpower and material resources can help Zhao Ziying save a lot.
