Chapter 152, Zengjiazhuang's Experience

Pan Long descended the mountain and walked all the way in the direction of Zengjiazhuang in the south.

On the way, he would meet one or two pedestrians from time to time, who came to the temple to worship and pray, praying for good luck from the God of Wealth, so that he could make a fortune in the coming year.

As the last good port in the northern part of Great Xia, Zengjiazhuang was inhabited by many merchants. On May 18, the day of the God of Wealth, they will definitely come to worship.

They didn't feel strange to see a bearded young man in a power suit and carrying a long knife walking down the mountain.

It is not only businessmen who come to worship the God of Wealth. The high-rollers of the rivers and lakes, especially the heroes of the green forest, are also one of the main forces to worship the God of Wealth.

Green forest customers are also in business, excluding those who do "no capital trading", smuggling and engaging in contraband trading is also one of the important businesses of the people in the green forest.

Selling smuggled salt, moonshine wine, and mining ...... These businesses are very risky and very profitable. Those who can do a stable business are almost all big factions in the green forest.

Those people don't need to rob, don't need to lick the blood with a knife, they can have a prosperous life that others need to work hard to get, and the dream of most green forest people is to become such a sitting tiger, a hero of the green forest.

Therefore, the belief in the God of Wealth is actually quite popular in the green forest.

In the stories of Wen Chaogong back then, there were often three gods of wealth, one rode a black tiger and wielded an iron rod, did not distinguish between good and wrong, and only granted wealth to those who looked pleasing to him, and was called the "God of Martial Wealth"; the other had an awkward personality, a poor mouth, and loved to be funny, and always liked to use the way of windfall fortune from heaven to trick people, and was called the "God of Windfall"; and there was also a red-faced and long-bearded majestic and dignified, righteous and reasonable, holding a long-handled broadsword, granting wealth and slaying demons at the same time, both the god of wealth and the part-time guardian saint, known as "Second Brother Guan".

In the temple of the God of Wealth, these three gods of wealth are generally enshrined. Second Brother Guan is in the center, the God of Martial Arts is on the left, and the God of Windfall is on the right.

Naturally, all three worshippers are worshipped - for businessmen, no matter which God of Wealth is willing to take care of himself, then he is a good God of Wealth.

From time to time, people greeted Pan Long on the road, and he responded one by one.

"Ahh

"Worship God, naturally, a little earlier. ”

"This brother is very faceless, just came here to do business?"

"That's right, I was doing business in Yizhou for a few years. Recently, if I want to change my mood, I came to Youzhou. ”

After talking to him, he invited him to drink, but he declined.

Pan Long knew that those who invited him to drink would never want to find an excuse to have a drink with others just because he was an alcoholic.

They look for themselves just to see that they are alone and feel that they can be used.

If you go to drink with them yourself, I'm afraid that if you can't drink a few glasses, they will say, "I have a deal with great benefits, but I still lack manpower."

Are they really short of manpower? Probably short.

But what they need is not a partner who cooperates in trading, but a fat sheep who can be used and then kicked away when they lose their use value!

This is just like before the establishment of the Great Federation in the previous life, there were many company bosses who would call them "ideals", "beliefs" and "futures" when recruiting workers...... In fact, it is nothing more than using these nonsense words to fool employees and want to reduce labor benefits.

Not to mention that such an enterprise may not have a future, even if it has a future, it is the future of the boss, and it is about the employees!

When you are young, I want you to struggle, draw you a bunch of pies, and when you gradually become more senior and may get higher treatment, then sweep you out of the house.

People don't want comrades-in-arms, they are slaves.

Later, most of these bosses died when the red tide surged, and there was a city known for its openness and progress, and there was even a famous attraction called Trillion Square - during the red tide, that square was used as an execution ground for hanging, and at one of the executions, the total net worth of the hanged rich exceeded one trillion.

Pan Long also visited the Trillion Square and the "Capitalist Hanging Street Lantern Memorial Hall" next to it, and he and a few friends who went with him laughed happily at that time.

It's a pity that the years have passed, and the young people who grew up in the era of the Great Federation can't get their laughs, and it is said that the attraction has become more and more deserted......

Dealing with the conversations of those merchants all the way, Pan Long went down the mountain along the road and walked into Zengjiazhuang.

Zengjiazhuang is called "Zhuang" in its name, and it is called "Manor" in the official records of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and it is actually a town of considerable size.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and Pan Long had many similar place names in his previous life. What Shijiazhuang, Zaozhuang is good, what "Xinxiang", "Broad Street", "Shizhen"...... That's all normal.

In the past, the real "Zengjiazhuang" was located in the eastern part of the town, including the most important port of Zengjiazhuang, "Fu'an Port".

This port is the most important legacy left by the ancestors of the great family to future generations. As long as the world does not come to a global cold, Zengjiazhuang Port is still the northernmost port, and with Fu'an Port, the Zeng family will never be down.

But...... If the descendants of the Zeng family are deprived of force and cannot protect this wealth, then this port will become a deadly poison that will bring great harm to them.

Pan Long looked at the busy port, watched the ships lift anchor one by one and went to sea, thinking about the arrangements of the ancestors of the Zeng family for the descendants of the future generations, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Their ideas are really quite reliable, but it's a pity that the wise have a thousand thoughts, and they will make a mistake. ”

"Maybe they never dreamed that in the end, what plunged the Zeng family into crisis was not the wealth brought by this port, but the pursuit of power......

As he spoke, he had already walked to a place less than a hundred feet away from the real Zengjiazhuang.

Along the main road, before entering the real Zengjiazhuang, you must first pass through a square.

The length of this square is almost 50 zhang, and the width is close to 40 zhang, covering a wide area.

In the previous life, the general open-air sports field plus the surrounding stands was about the same size.

There are many copper pillars erected in the square, these copper pillars are hollow, and there are many charred black marks on the ground around it, which looks quite ugly.

"What is that?" Pan Long asked a passerby.

Passers-by looked at him and said, "You're from outsider, aren't you?"

"That's right, we've never seen a hollow pillar like this over there. ”

"It was used to burn the seeds of sin. The passer-by probably had something to do, so he was too lazy to say it, and replied lightly, "Every New Year's holiday, we all have to burn a batch of evil seeds, one to worship the ancestors, and the other to promote the prestige." If you come a few days late, if you come on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, you will be able to see the scene of burning evil seeds. ”

"Burn the seed?" Pan Long frowned and asked, "What is the seed of evil?"

"It's those things that drink blood and swallow ice, half-human, half-ghost. The passer-by said with disgust on his face, "There are quite a few in this place, and it is disgusting! We have been killing for many years before we can be considered clean." In this way, there are still often evil seeds in the north, so the old men of the Zeng family often have to catch a batch to burn - but they can't finish burning, it's really troublesome!"

As he spoke, he turned and walked away, without explaining to Pan Longdo.

So he didn't see it, Pan Long was already frowning, and his face was gloomy.

"I knew before that the Zeng family was one of the forces with the worst attitude towards the Ice Plains race, but I didn't expect that their attitude would be so bad!"

He pondered for a moment, walked along the stone path in the square, walked between the bronze pillars, and finally walked to the gate of Zengjiazhuang.

The door was closed, and the two big men stood at the door, motionless like the King Kong statues in the temple, not even bothering to look at him.

Pan Long smiled, took a deep breath, and let out a thunderous roar.

"I'm a Yizhou Yiwenxia, where is Zeng Yingqi? Get out and get your life money!"
