"I also thought he was going to rebel, but there is still no movement now, but this tyrant, that is, the demon king you talked about, how could he come to Shandong once in vain, the land to be bought in our mansion is nine times out of ten that this tyrant has already occupied, such a strong person, what do you think you care about the saint, care about our mansion, if I don't take the initiative to take a step back today, those people will start killing." Kong Jiu smiled and said.

Thinking about the scene just now, and then thinking about what Kong Jiu said, Lao Zhang shivered in fear, and was stunned for a while before asking in a low voice: "Young Master Zhang, if this is the case, is this tyrant going to rebel?" Is the imperial court going to send troops to suppress it? This peaceful world is going to be chaotic again."

"It's not that no troops have been sent to suppress it, the way of the Taiping world? Is it too peaceful there? The Jurchens of Jianzhou in Liaozhen in the northeast are like wolves and tigers, the Tusi of Sichuan and Qian'an in the southwest are entangled and fighting, and the Mongolian nuisances in the Hetao in the north are endless. Kong Jiu looked at the river and sighed with emotion.

Lao Zhang didn't know what to think, his expression relaxed slightly, and he said with a smile: "The Ninth Master doesn't have to think so much, our Qufu is a blessed land, and our Confucian family is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. ”

Yansheng Gong Confucius Mansion does have the confidence to say this, the rise and fall of the dynasty, but the glory and wealth of the Kong family are becoming more and more noble, and there is really nothing to worry about, Kong Jiu, who heard this, looked at the river and was silent for a while, and then said in a muffled voice: "I still want you to call me Young Master Zhang, and it is not wrong for you to say this, but I always feel worried, and sometimes I will be awakened by nightmares at night." ”

Lao Zhang pouted in the back, but he didn't make a sound, Kong Jiu seemed to open his eyes behind his back, seeing this Lao Zhang's expression, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "If I hadn't left the house since I was a child, I had been growing up in Qufu, not to mention the eldest and youngest, I would also think that the world was rich and peaceful, and our Confucius Mansion would have no worries for a long time, but when I came out and saw it, I would be afraid." ”

At this time, there is a fleet of boats passing by on the canal, which is the regulation of large ships on the canal, there are more than a dozen of them, and each boat can see the strong men guarding, on the third boat in front, you can see several young women standing on the bow of the boat looking at the scenery, and from time to time let out a coquettish smile, which attracted the boatmen and sailors on other boats to look over, but everyone did not dare to have any presumptuous laughter, because everyone knew that such a fleet must be a high-class rich and noble family, and they could not afford to offend.

The third boat was obviously modified into a style for guests, on the deck behind several young women, you can see a coffee table table and chairs, some people are sitting there leisurely drinking tea, not to mention anything else, but look at the style of the people on this boat, look at the style of this fleet, I feel rich and compelling, Kong Jiu, who is standing by the river, has a lot of eyes, although the river is wide, you can also see the dress of the people on the boat when you stand by the river.

"It's not as good as the best in our house, but it's also second-class." Kong Jiu commented, which made Lao Zhang also begin to look at the past, not to mention the inheritance of the Yansheng Mansion in the past, the Ming generation, since the founding of the country, has been rich for more than 200 years, and naturally raised the first-class grace and enjoyment in the world, the best in the Yansheng Mansion will never be inferior to the vassal king, this second-class is also the top level of wealth, Kong Jiu has eaten and seen, and there is such an evaluation.

"Look at this rich and peaceful, can you know that hundreds of thousands of people have died in our Shandong?" Kong Jiu turned around, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Lao Zhang nodded subconsciously, in fact, he started from Qufu to Lunan here, the road from Qufu to Ziyang was quite miserable, there were corpses everywhere on the roadside, many were gnawed by wild beasts, and they were rotting and smelling under this heat, terrifying and disgusting, at that time, everyone thought that the next road was more difficult, but after Ziyang, the road was much cleaner, not that there were no corpses, but someone began to clean up and incinerate, and even the security on the road was very good, There are no thieves as everyone thought in advance.

The people who set out from the Confucian Mansion rested in Jining City for a few days, although Jining City was breached, but after a short recovery, there was such a rich scene, as for this canal, the boats came and went, as if they had not been affected at all, seeing Lao Zhang nodded, Kong Jiu just sighed and said: "Everyone thinks it is too peaceful and happy!" ”

After saying this, Kong Jiu turned around, and Lao Zhang, who was over there, hurriedly packed up and led his horse to follow, and asked, "Young Master Zhang, since we can't do the errand, when will we go back to Qufu?" ”

"It's hard to come out once, and I'm not in a hurry to go back."

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

With the hot weather, Xuzhou is getting busier and busier, and the people who live on both sides of the official road and are used to galloping fast horses know that this is Zhao Ziying's letterhead transmission, not that there is a big battle to be fought.

The news of Zhao Ziying's expansion and restructuring has been spread, and the relevant individuals are all hot, wondering what position they can get this time, and all parties outside are also concerned about the abnormality, because the changes in Zhao Ziying involve everyone's fortune and everyone's next move, and they can't be negligent.

Those who were originally frustrated because of the appearance of Zhao Ziying, they all have something to do at this time, as long as they are really capable, there are always their teaching positions in the five university halls in Xuzhou, in addition to teaching, the construction of the school, and the various needs of the service school, have made Xuzhou and the surrounding market prosperous and developed a lot, at this time, of course, there are frustrated people, but it is already too little and too little, and no one pays attention to it.

Now the young scholars in Xuzhou know that it is difficult for Xuzhou to get a reputation above the show, and they also know that even if they are a showman in Xuzhou, they do not have too many privileges and benefits, and they can't shade the fields as before, and they can't cover the lawsuits as before, not to mention that this show talent is not so easy for everyone to be admitted, and the children under the age of 30 have begun to ponder about entering the business and agricultural school, and the second son and the third son of a few good families, etc., will also enter the foreign affairs school, some of them are not qualified, if they can endure hardships, they will go to various granges, I will do an apprenticeship there first, and I will not be slow to get ahead.

As for the young warriors of Xuzhou? Now there are no young martial artists outside the Zhao Ziying in Xuzhou, the group of people who are about ten years older than them are carried in Xuzhou Yiyong, and the bigger ones are the elders of the Zhao Ziying family Ding Tuanlian and martial artists at all levels, or this time they are directly gathered into the Xuzhou Martial Arts Hall to give lectures, if you want to be idle, there are patrols and business guards to go, there are many ways out, but there is no need to worry about anything.

However, around July 11, many people in Xuzhou saw Zhao Jin leading the horse team to the east, judging from the number of people in the team, this is not a simple trip, because the horse team is about 300 or so, and there are about 400 family members guarding a few carriages, obviously with a female dependent, some good things people think that they have guessed the purpose, Jin Ye actually took the female family to travel, it must be to go to the Qingjiangpu area, Pizhou and the barren grass beach there is nothing worth going.

The people here in Xuzhou did not expect that on the way to Pizhou, the elite warriors of the Jiang family and the Cheng family came to converge, and continued to the east, but stopped at Yutou Town on the shore of Luoma Lake.

Zhao Jin led so many people to Yutou Town, the town immediately jumped with chickens and dogs, the food and materials supplied were very simple, there were a large number of materials stored here, and the merchants in Yutou Town wanted to take this opportunity to see Zhao Jin, although Zhao Ziying Yunshan was very fair, so that they could make a fortune with peace of mind, and they might see Zhao Baozheng Zhao Tianwang, after all, they could be more at ease, and it was worth boasting about, but Zhao Jin didn't see anything, and on the same day, the entire Yutou Town was accused of being up, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, Horseback riders wandered around the periphery, and the family members guarded the intersections, and then closely monitored the wharf, loading and unloading goods, and although business travel was not prohibited, everyone was watched very closely in every movement.

This posture scared Yutou Town enough, and I thought that there was going to be some major killing, but then I found out that Yan was strict, but he did not search the house and did not arrest anyone, which made everyone confused.

On the 14th of July, the wharf started work early, but the boatmen and merchants from other places were very dissatisfied, because the unloading and loading on the wharf was too unruly, not only slow but also chaotic, some people couldn't help but chatter, all the places that made a fortune by the canal are more than this side of the rules, so tossed, sooner or later will collapse, and let a small number of people wonder is that they have made an appointment with the merchants to meet on the wharf, but they can't see anyone at noon, so they can only go into the town to find it, which is what doing business looks like, Look at the shopkeepers of Yunshan Xing and Sunjia Commercial Bank, one by one they have already come, no wonder this business can make a fortune, this diligence is incomparable to others, but there are also people who have been here a few times and feel weird, the laborers on this dock are all fresh faces, and the local merchants are obviously very diligent, but this wonder is also held in the mouth, Yunshan Grain Bank's escort of the local patrol ship is really strict this day.

There was a mess on the wharf, but there was still chaos, I don't know if there was a problem with the loading of the first few ships or the fishing boats that avoided crossing, but they actually hit the river side, more than a dozen boats were piled up over there, directly blocking the river, and a group of boatmen and sailors were angry and scolding over there, but looking at this look, I am afraid that there will be no way to navigate in a few hours.

Although the river is blocked, it is not too crowded, because this Llama Lake is a relay mooring place, everyone has to rest and replenish here, since there is no way to go, then stay for a while.
