Chapter 1072: The Caravan Heading to Dengzhou Mansion

There is also news, said that Qingjiangpu Hao Shang and Yangzhou salt merchants have been pinned on the sprouts, one side from the Shaolin Temple to invite the master, the other side is to go to Nanjing nobles to invite the general, ready to compare, the two sides in addition to this but also to fight for the wind, hold a treasure race, than the United States, than each family of Zhen and Meiji, these are the time is the lottery of the bet on the martial arts conference, it is said that Qingjiangpu over there will also take advantage of this to hold a horse racing conference, if there is a famous horse and a good horse can go to a higher competition, this can also bet on the lottery, Outsiders can also take the silver to win or lose.

This variety of news is released, don't say that it is the children of wealthy families all over the world, rich people, and even the idlers everywhere in Nanzhili want to go over to have a fun, anyway, it is almost the end of the year at this time, not to mention the leisure, there are still a few spare money in hand, it is always good to go and see this excitement.

All kinds of people in Qingjiangpu can feel the heat of the preparation process, for example, the competition venue and the ring have been built, the surrounding seating rooms are almost completed, and the land is still leveling in the periphery of Qingjiangpu, saying that it is for the racecourse What to prepare, now the inns on this side of Qingjiangpu are becoming more and more popular, and the rooms of the martial arts conference have been swept away, and many of the vacant houses have been doing short-term rental business.

On the streets of Qingjiangpu and on the canal wharf, you can see the colorful boats, if you are lucky, you can also see a glimpse of the beauty from the sedan chair and carriage passing by on the street, Yangzhou and Nanjing's people do not dare to swagger north, but to bring women to worship the mountain in advance, to let the local bigwigs allow, but also to build momentum in advance, so that each family can cheer, so as not to be embarrassed when no one supports.

However, these people did not encounter the common extortion of money, the local leader Li Dajin just asked them to abide by the rules, do not pay the fees in arrears, do not cause trouble, report things in time, and do not ask for their benefits, let alone enjoy the service and the like, everything is official, and those who have not dealt with this side are a little panicked, thinking that the other party is not waiting to see, and later I learned that this is the atmosphere here, and they are amazed and appreciated for a while.

In the middle of October, the rivers of Shandong have been frozen, at this time in previous years, the boats passing through Yutou Town will be greatly reduced, but this year is different, the boat flow is much more than in previous years, many people in Henan are taking the Yellow River waterway to the south, as for the Qingjiangpu side, it is not the slightest desertion, every day the wharf is lively like a bazaar, many Qingjiangpu local big people are appearing, because many distinguished guests come, they also have to receive in person.

No one feels irritated by such excitement and entertainment, needless to say, those who just want to make money also see countless business opportunities from this excitement, so many rich and noble people come, as long as a small number of people have the heart to look at business, then everyone's opportunity will come.

In such a bustle, there was also news from Jingshi, saying that Xu Hongru and Wang Haoxian, the culprits of the Wenxiang Sect's rebellion, were sentenced by Ming Zhengcanon and were slashed by a thousand knives at the execution ground, but no one cared about this news at all, who would care if they were dead or alive, and who were these two people"

is also because of the excitement brought by this martial arts competition, many people know Zhao Jin's name, to have such a hand, to hold such a grand event, not a top tycoon, no relationship with the sky, definitely not to do this, such a character must be remembered, I don't know when I have to deal with it.

At this time, the outside thinks of Xuzhou, thinks of Zhao Jin, the first time will be associated with the martial arts conference, in the eyes of outsiders, at this time Xuzhou must be busy with the affairs of the martial arts conference, and there are more "people of insight" sighed, saying that Zhao Jin and others have spirituality but no ambition after all, they only know that the pattern of these sensual dogs and horses is too small, and it can't be a big thing at all.

But Zhao Jin and his partners don't care about the Biwu Conference at all, except for the regular presentation, no one mentions it at all, the most important thing in Zhao Ziying at the moment is the Liaodong refugees in Dengzhou Mansion, the sea is still preparing, and now it can't be passed, because in winter, the coast of Liaodong and the coast of Shandong Province will freeze, and the wind and waves are strong, and the navigation of ships is very inconvenient, so you can only wait for the early summer of next year to start.

Li Ziyou sent over more than 80 Liaomin, after observing and assessing in the open and secretly, selected eleven of the most reassuring as guides, and arranged three of the Li family brothers, these people have already followed the caravan of Yunshan Xing to Dengzhou Mansion to recruit the people of Liaodong over there, Yunshanxing's relationship in Shandong has begun to move, or gold and silver to open the way, or human exchanges, in short, it is a good greeting, and it will definitely be convenient at that time.

Among the eleven people who were elected, the deserter Lao Peng and the miner Lao Xiong were among them, and that Hou Xiucai was not selected, according to the eyeliner, Hou Xiucai was very complaining on his face, but he was quite happy in private, this Hou Xiucai was already planning to live in Xuzhou for a long time, and asked if he could move to the local area to participate in the imperial examination, and said something like "If I pass the exam, I will definitely know how to repay the kindness", no one paid attention to it at all.

More than a dozen Liao people who were responsible for showing up to say that they arrived in Jining first, over there, Zhao Ziying Ding, Xun Ding and Yunshan Xing caravan and Xuzhou Yiyong formed a team that had been prepared, after the two sides converged, and then marched north together, for this operation, Ma Chonghao also entrusted Tian Long, who was in Yizhou, to contact the Qingzhou Mansion Jianghu Dahao, and asked him to take care of one or two, this Dahao is a leading figure who stamped his feet and trembled in the local area, but I heard that Xuzhou Zhao Jin had a request, it was really panicked, and he hurriedly agreed.

There are more than 230 people in the team going to Dengzhou Mansion, a total of 20 light carriages, nearly 100 horses, and nearly 20,000 silver taels.

After starting from Jining, along the canal north, in the territory of Yanzhou Mansion Yunshan line Zhao Ziying is already a well-known brand, no one dares to slack off, after entering Dongchang Mansion walk a section and then go east into Jinan Mansion, in Dongchang Mansion and Jinan Mansion these two places, Linqing Li patrol face is very effective, up and down can also take care of, but also in advance specially advised, Jinan Mansion City is the provincial governance of the city, the governor, the patrol and the political envoy such a big man is in the city, there is no care where the Haoqiang, so be as careful as possible, Don't have conflicts or anything.

This is a superfluous worry, Zhao Ziying has always been well-behaved and low-key, and never does bad things that bully people, after walking northeast from Jinan Mansion into Qingzhou Mansion, Qingzhou has more than a dozen riders to respond, and after entering the territory of Qingzhou Mansion, the situation is different from before.

The topography of Shandong is actually divided into two large parts by mountains and hills, Jinan, Dongchang and Yanzhou in the west three prefectures, most of them are flat, and Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou in the east three prefectures are mostly mountainous, in addition to several official roads connected, it is very inconvenient to come and go, and Zhao Ziying's hand can not be stretched, and in this place in the east three prefectures, it is the place where the general army of Denglai is stationed, so after entering Qingzhou Mansion, you have to be careful in everything.

The official road from Qingzhou Mansion to Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion along the coast is not far from the sea, and the sea breeze blows with moisture in winter, making it cold and snowy here, and it is very inconvenient to walk, but the preparation of the Zhao Ziying team is very sufficient, and the road is frozen hard in winter, and the carriages and horses are very convenient to walk, but the supply of people and horses is not so easy, and the villages in the East Sanfu are more heavily guarded.

However, there is a guide sent by the Qingzhou tycoon, and a little face is given everywhere along the way, after the real money is taken out, the grain and forage and even the people are willing to supply, the team of Zhao Ziying is not careful, and the shot is very generous, and the guide is a little unbearable, if it is so wasteful, it will not be a shame for the Qingzhou people afterwards, but I reminded in private, the team from Xuzhou said very clearly, we still have a return trip, this time to make a good fate, next time it is good to deal with.

This is said to be quite convincing Qingzhou guide, more than a dozen of them led the way for a few days are also staggering, there are many legends of Xuzhou people and horses on the rivers and lakes, but for them this is the first time to see in person, it is really strong and strong, well-equipped, and generous, everyone is envious and jealous, and I don't know whether the team in Xuzhou is picked out, or the usual scene is like this.

And the style of the Zhao Ziying team also makes them awe-inspired, walking during the day and camping at night, all of them are extremely rigorous, not leaking, and will not let people get into the loophole, there are a few times that the night is not quite right, these dozen or so self-proclaimed old Jianghu style leaders have not had time to react, but the team of the Zhao Ziying has been on their own alert, ready to fight, even those weak characters such as the shopkeeper account office are also panicked and know what to do.

"Except for the dozen or so barbarians in the north who are stupid, these Xuzhou people are really amazing, these two hundred people are afraid that they can use thousands of people, not the big poles are combined, and they can't eat lightly." That's what I talk about in private.

"Our uncle has been thinking about going to Zhao Tianwang all day long, this time Zhao Tianwang's people came to the door, and the uncle was crazy with joy, otherwise he would not have sent our brothers out to serve."

In addition to guessing and envious, but there are also some things that I don't understand, Zhao Ziying's team does not hide its purpose, that is, to go to Dengzhou Mansion to recruit Liaodong refugees, in the eyes of the local people in Shandong, these people are poor and fierce, and they are robbing and committing crimes as a whole, what is there to recruit, and what to do with all that money.
