Chapter 678: A few people came to Xuzhou for the first time

After dark, they were relieved, according to the words of the head of the family, if this was a black shop, they didn't know how much silver they would have to pay for the inside and outside of the house.

"I think this road is really good, it's newly built? Why fix it? "There was no one in the restaurant after dinner, the family left three, and the remaining three went to hang out and eat, Sun Chuanting and Mr. Tian dragged the guy to chat, and the guy who chatted was the one who picked up customers on the bus, lively and talkative, and answered all questions.

"It's the first time the guest officer has come to Xuzhou, right? If you see this road, you will say that if you see Xuzhou to Dangshan, to Xiaoxian, to Pizhou several roads, then it is good, twice as wide as this, the road surface is smooth, and the repair of every three or five is of course newly repaired, two years ago, the master said to repair the road, why should it be repaired, for the convenience of the guest officers, for the convenience of the carriages and horses, the guest officer, you have not been to the market of Hejiazhuang, tsk, the carts and cattle, horses and camels that come in and out every day, and there are countless of them! There is no good road, not at all. ”

"Such a long road, such a big project, how many people will be used, you people in Xuzhou are suffering, there must be a lot of escapes, right?"

"Guest officer, you guessed wrong, the road is built for food, and the people are eager to do it, to eat a day, to save two meals for the family, and to use this to reduce forced labor, who is not willing to do it, and there are those who break their heads for this."

"Who gives the food?"

"Jin Ye, his old man is merciful, he has a share of the grain collected in Xuzhou, he doesn't want it himself, not only take it out when he builds the road, but he also has to make up for it, how many people who can't survive the winter rely on this to survive."

"This store is going to lose money when it opens, right?"

"Not really"

When this topic was spoken, the shopkeeper behind the counter came out to interrupt and shouted, "Go and see the lantern hanging outside the door, don't blow it out when the wind is strong, you will know that there is nonsense there." ”

The guy stood up and ran out with a dry smile, Sun Chuanting and Mr. Tian glanced at each other, knowing that this problem might be a little taboo, so the shopkeeper picked up people, and it was not early to see the sky, and it was time to go back to the room to rest.

Sun Chuanting and Mr. Tian are in a room, the inn in this location, no matter how neat and clean, the furniture or something will not be good there, the two don't care about this, sitting there are quiet, just entered the territory of Xuzhou, this is a lot different from other places, the first to speak is Sun Chuanting: "Abuse of people's power, borrowing state taxes to give grace to the people, this Zhao Jin is not small",

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, but it was the leader of the Ding family who went out to hang out, and after coming in, the head of the Ding family opened his mouth and said: "Son, this inn should not be a black shop, but there are a few things wrong, there are ten horses on the side of the stable, and it looks like they are not guests, in addition to this, there are at least five guys who should be from the elite of the army, and they are not very old." ”

These two points made people even more curious, and before Sun Chuanting could discuss it, Mr. Tian just waved his hand and said: "Everyone, rest early, don't sleep too deeply at night, and leave the words to tomorrow, this is not your own place after all, be careful." ”

The next day, everyone got up very early, the store was very considerate to prepare breakfast, the horses were fed enough forage, and the state of rest for a night was also excellent, when leaving the store, Sun Chuanting specially rewarded the money to make a small account, the shopkeeper and the guy were smiling, and the guy who talked a lot said: "A few guest officers, now like today, we are in Xuzhou The days are prosperous, and we are making a fortune doing everything, and a few are right." ”

Sun Chuanting and his entourage didn't have much feeling about this, but said with emotion when they went out: "If all the inns in the world are like this, then where you can't go, where you can't go." ”

Maybe it's the Yunshan Inn near this boundary monument that makes people feel good, Sun Chuanting and his party subconsciously slowed down, even the border is like this, there must be no bad reason inside, then there is no need to rush to the road, stay at night, take a walk and take a look.

If you are an ordinary businessman, you will only see the fields on both sides of the road are neat, the villages along the way are neat, and there are not so many rules, but Sun Chuanting has worked civil affairs, and before the title of the gold list, he has followed the elders in the family to practice, and has also traveled to many places, and his experience is far higher than that of his peers, and even much higher than most people.

Sun Chuanting came down from the official road several times, went to observe in the fields on both sides, and went to the village to find someone to ask, but the family members also cooperated, just explained, saying that my son-in-law was curious or something, as for Mr. Natian, he looked indifferent at first, and later did not urge Sun Chuanting, but followed him to see and ask, and asked his own questions from time to time.

“…… This canal was dug first by the Zhuangzi of the master, and if you want to use it everywhere, you have to dig it yourself, but you must go according to the rules of the master, and you must pay the grain regularly, and you have to send people to see it regularly, and those who do not comply with the rules will be punished, which is a good thing, everyone is willing to pay the grain, and the crops will grow well when they have water."

"Jin Ye is just twenty, the rules are very big, even the convenience of everyone is in charge, there is a pond outside each village, the village can not be convenient anywhere, each thatched house must be cleaned up, all sent to the pond to be soaked, plus grass and wood ash, when the time comes, the fertilizer is used, the trouble is troublesome, but the fertility is not small, the crops grow well, the village is also clean, in the end the master is from a big family, I can't see the dirt ......"

"Jin Ye is merciful, and we are exempted from Liao's salary, I heard that once that thing is collected, nothing can be saved, my family has a cousin in Cao County, Shandong, so I escaped, saying that the family can no longer live, and even the house has been collected"

After chatting a few times, Sun Chuanting was even worried about being deceived, so he deliberately changed a few places to ask, and the answers he got were all the same, Sun Chuanting even left the official road and ran in one direction for more than half an hour, just because he was afraid that both sides of the official road would be like goods.

After having lunch casually, Sun Chuanting didn't have the heart to ask again, because the more he walked forward, it was obviously getting better and better, the sun was in the west, Sun Chuanting and the official road they took merged into a wider official road, and inquired, this is the road from Hejiazhuang to Xiao County, I thought that what the inn guy said yesterday was exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be the same as what he said, the smooth and spacious road, the merchants and people who came and went on the road, were very lively, and it looked completely peaceful and prosperous.

"What is this Zhao Jin doing so much money-losing business for?" Sun Chuanting asked suspiciously, and Mr. Tian frowned and pondered there.

Sun Chuanting said to himself again: "Agricultural affairs, civil affairs, what does this have to do with him, although the court and the government don't do it, why does he do it?" ”

"Son, look ahead!" A housekeeper reminded in a low voice.

Looking at the past, there was a slight commotion and confusion in front of the road, and the reason could be seen at a glance, although the front was full of people, cars and horses, but on the heads of the heads of the people, you could see dozens of spears and spear tips lined up neatly marching, and it didn't take long to see more than 80 sturdy young people, carrying spears on their shoulders, lined up in a neat procession from the edge of the official road, when passing by, the team walked very neatly, each young man was very healthy and energetic, looking ahead.

Such neatness, such spirit, everyone can hardly see in other places, the soldiers are generally yellow and thin, listless, occasionally some sturdy, are all flying and domineering arrogant Tai Sui, but these in front of them are not rampant, just walking on their own, but everyone who sees them will feel their strength, if they really want to fight, this team is definitely very strong.

"Son, the few I saw in the inn last night are similar to the ones in front of me, they are all the same." The leader of the family said in a low voice.

Sun Chuanting shook his head slowly, with a look of disbelief on his face, and immediately shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect that there are such elites in the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know whose soldiers it is?" ”

He sighed here, and Mr. Tian said in a deep voice: "This dress is also neat, why don't you wear a uniform?" ”

If people who don't understand look at this team, they just feel that they are walking neatly, President Sun Chuan is in Junzhou, adjacent to the border towns, and he is practicing martial arts, so he can naturally see some ways.

There are too many people on the official road, when they passed by this group of young people just now, although this team of young people did not go to the official road, everyone still subconsciously avoided inward, and it was inevitable that they were crowded and closer to each other, and the conversation between Sun Chuanting and Mr. Tian was also heard by others, and someone immediately sneered and said: "How many of you are here for the first time, right?" ”

It's also fun to show off with people who don't understand from outside, and before Sun Chuanting and Mr. Tian spoke, the self-caring smiled and said: "The past call group training, if it is the first-class township in Xuzhou, don't look at them now strong, a few years ago they were almost starved to death Haha, they fell into the hands of the master, and they were trained like this, but they can only be regarded as the second and third class in Xuzhou, and the first-class elite is the family in the hands of the master, even the officers and soldiers may not be opponents." ”

If he was just surprised just now, now Sun Chuanting is already shocked, in his opinion, this so-called "group training" is already much more elite than the border army in Datong Town and Taiyuan Mansion, why is it not the first-class elite in Xuzhou? Even Mr. Tian couldn't help but ask: "How many such group exercises can there be in Xuzhou?" ”

The man was very proud when he saw that he had succeeded in selling it, and naturally he had to answer all questions: "Who can know this, there are larger villages and towns, and there are also intersections, one hundred here, two hundred there, two or three thousand, maybe more, I can't say!" ”

There were too many shocks, and he was a little numb, so he walked for a while, and then Mr. Tian shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for the lie, there are so many 2,000 people who are rampant in the land of one government, no, they are all calm in the land of several provinces." ”

Sun Chuanting wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he just said: "It's just that there are fewer people."
