"Uncle, uncle's anger!"

As soon as Zhang Xingyi saw Zhuge Liang's appearance, he knew that he had misunderstood something, and hurriedly dissuaded, "That's not a Nanxiang soldier, but a servant of the Nanxiang government, and this is also the rule of Nanxiang." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was even more furious, "Who set this rule, it is so ridiculous?" ”

"Ahem, Master, I heard that this is a rule set by Feng Langjun, and that person is mainly patrolling the street for no one to defecate and litter on the street at will."

Ma Tan has been to Nanxiang a few times, and he still knows the rules here, and he also explained it to him at the moment.

"Open defecation? Don't litter? ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and then he reacted, no wonder he felt so weird at first, but now after being reminded, he found that Nanxiang Street was much cleaner than other places.

"Yes, Nanxiang had this rule at the beginning, and later there were more and more people coming and going from other places, so the government ordered special personnel to inspect it. It is said that this can reduce the breeding of mosquitoes and flies and prevent the occurrence of epidemics. ”

Zhuge Liang naturally knew this statement, because he had seen Fengzhuang's road, but Fengzhuang was a small village after all, how could he be a county like Nanxiang? That's why he didn't react for a while.

It's just that this method of dissuasion is too alternative, and it turns out to be a direct fine.

"How can everyone know this rule for newcomers? In this way, isn't there a suspicion of deliberate harm? ”

Zhuge Liang asked.

"Master, when the students first came, they also asked, but according to the Nanxiang County Order, as long as they can be picked up in time or cleaned up, they don't actually need to pay money."

"But if you're a person who defecates in the open, it's different, if you don't have money or don't want to pay, then you have to sweep the whole street, clean it before you can leave."

"Then why didn't you ...... just now" Zhuge Liang said this, paused again, remembering that the guards had already pulled out half of the knives, so he coughed and glanced at the guards behind him, "Don't reveal your identity easily in the future." ”

Then he asked, "What if there is only one servant, and if there is a man of courage who does not obey discipline?" ”

"Uncle, please see, there are patrol conscripts there, and they pass by from time to time every day in groups of six, and there is also a fixed resting place. As soon as the whistle sounded, the conscripts would hear it. ”

Zhang Xingyi pointed to the soldiers who had just passed not far away, and saw them lined up, each with weapons at their waists, walking through the noisy streets.

Just now, she directly shouted that she was willing to accept punishment, that is, she saw that the mercenary had already put the whistle in her mouth, if the whistle sounded, the conscripts came with weapons, how could the prime minister's guards be willing to show weakness?

Then things will get bigger.

It's only thirty dollars, and the little lady of the Zhang family doesn't look at it yet.

"In this case, isn't it suspected of disturbing the people?"

Zhuge Liang frowned.

"Uncle, rest assured, those conscripts have rules. Unless they see those who disturb the order of Nanxiang, they will not disturb others, and even if they rest, they have a fixed place to rest. ”

"Also, ordinary people can't disturb them if they have nothing to do, otherwise they will be suspected of causing trouble. The lightest one is also to be sent to the kiln for labor and transformation. ”

Zhang Xingyi said, pointing in the direction of the sky above the black smoke, "If you send it there, you will have to work for at least ten years." He pursed his lips and smiled again, "So, there is the name of the evil ghost, and it is not for nothing." ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the servants who disappeared on the street, and then looked around, "It's just that this hired soldier is unsupervised, and it is convenient to harm outsiders, there will always be people who don't follow the rules, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xingyi nodded, "But very little." ”

"Why?"

"Because the monthly salary of the servants in Nanxiang is not low, one person is enough to support a family of five, and those who have children can also choose one person to send to school. If you enter the school, you will have a future, so I don't know how many people want to be a hired servant but can't get it. ”

"But if someone is exposed for unruliness, the light ones will be sent to the kiln, and the heavy ones will be sent to the mines in the mountains, and the future of the children will be affected."

"Not only will the children be withdrawn from the school, but the family members will not be allowed to enter the workers' workshop, etc., and they will also be included in the list of bad families in Nanxiang, and then the recruitment of workers everywhere in Nanxiang will be avoided."

Zhuge Liang listened, groaned for a while, and then shook his head again, a little puzzled, and said to himself, "Cultivate it thickly, and then bind it with cool methods, this kind of practice ......"

The situation in Nanxiang is very special, in other places, it is to recruit workers and not people, as long as there is some land at home, then the reputation is more stinky, and it can survive.

But Nanxiang has never divided the land from the beginning, and if he loses his source of livelihood, it will almost be considered a dead end.

"Aren't they dead, then?"

When Zhuge Liang thought of this, he felt that it was a little too much.

"No, they can still go to work in the brick kiln and coal kiln," Zhang Xingyi said here, his brows furrowed slightly, "If you don't say that evil ghosts are born there, they don't care where you come from, as long as you are willing to work, you will have food, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it." ”

For more than a year, in order to thoroughly understand the industry under her name, in order to uncover the truth behind the legend of Nanxiang, she even went to see the mines in the mountains.

After seeing the cruel truth, Zhang Xingyi almost vomited on the spot, and he couldn't eat for several days.

Only then did she know how many ugliness in the world were hidden after the prosperity of Nanxiang, and at the same time she understood why a certain turtle would choose Sister Guan.

After all, it is not easy to find a woman who can do this kind of thing with that ruthless guy from the beginning.

According to Zhang Xingyi's estimate, if she had changed herself, she didn't know if she would have been able to do the step of Sister Guan.

Sister Guan has experienced life and death, and if she really hardens her heart, she will definitely not be able to compare.

Zhang Xingyi thought about it in his heart, and fell silent for a while.

Zhuge Liang is walking with his hands behind his back, although he feels that the law of Nanxiang is harsh, but when he looks at it, he is full of a prosperous image, and the people show the kind of satisfaction with life, but it is not seen elsewhere.

This made Zhuge Liang both surprised and satisfied.

"Nanxiang Xinhua Bookstore, now its reputation has spread to Jincheng, I don't know where it is located?"

Zhuge Liang felt that he had seen the life of the people in Nanxiang, so the next step was naturally to see the place of education.

"Uncle, please, you have to go forward."

"You're a liar!"

"What did I lie to you?"

"Last time, you said that I got a 100-point test and bought me ......"

Before the group left the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, they heard a child crying not far from the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore.

I saw a baby's wrist pinched by the adult in his hand, and he was fluttering, and his body was desperately pouring in the opposite direction of the adult, if he was not pulled by his own adult, he was afraid that he would be dragged to the ground.

Looking at the baby's appearance, he wanted to pull the adult in the direction of Xinhua Bookstore, but his adult could carry him back with one hand.

The baby was anxious and shouted, "A gentleman doesn't keep his promise, isn't he a gentleman?" ”

"It's not that I kept my promise, I said I would buy it for you at that time, but I didn't say that I would buy it for you at this time." The adult said angrily, "The son doesn't say anything about the father, so it can be seen that you didn't study hard at all, and you are embarrassed to let me buy it?" ”

As he spoke, as soon as he used his strength, he wanted to pick up the baby and beat people.

When the child saw the adults like this, he knew that he had moved his real character, and he hurriedly struggled hard, but others were weak and weak, how could he break free?

Just when I turned around and saw Zhang Xingyi and his party, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted, "Sister Zhang, save me!" ”

Luo Meng was about to slap Luo Xian's buttocks, and when he heard his son screaming like this, he sneered, "Don't say it's your sister of the Zhang family, even God can't save you!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the other side casually, and he was so frightened that he was trembling at the moment.

Luo Xian didn't stand firmly, he made a "horn" and a dog gnawed on the ground, but he had a strong desire to survive, and he rolled over, and ran behind Zhang Xingyi to hide regardless of the ground.

Luo Meng rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly followed with some trembling.

"My lord, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it, I don't want it."

Luo Xian saw his adult coming over, and hurriedly shouted.

With Sister Zhang, aren't the books in Xinhua Bookstore up to you? Although you can't buy it, it's always okay to borrow it. With this layer of protection, where is Luo Xian willing to be beaten by his Lao Tzu?

"Shut up!"

Luo Meng glared at Luo Xian and scolded in a low voice, and then was about to salute, when he saw Ma Jian cough and took the initiative to say, "Luo Xiancheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, Shizun came to Nanxiang from Jincheng just to look around." ”

Luo Meng is a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the reason why he came to Nanxiang to be a county magistrate, or the reason why Zhuge Liang personally recommended it to Feng Yong, how can he not recognize the prime minister of the Han Dynasty?

It's just that as soon as I heard Ma Tan say this, I suddenly woke up, and the county government did not receive the news that the prime minister was coming to Nanxiang, it seems that the prime minister is a private visit to Weifu.

So he hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the elders." ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and gestured, "How could Luo Xiancheng be here?" ”

Luo Meng hurriedly explained, "Back to the elders, today is the end of the month, and it is the day of rest, so Meng took the dog out to see, I never thought that the dog was stubborn, crying on the street, making the elder laugh." ”

When Zhang Xingyi heard this, he glanced down at Luo Xian, and said in his heart that this kid is obsessed with that biography, and every time he comes to Xinhua Bookstore, he can meet him.

However, Zhuge Liang glanced down at Luo Xian, thinking of Huang Yueying's mother and son in Jincheng, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he touched Luo Xian's head and asked, "How old is this child?" ”

"I've seen the elder, Xian is ten years old."

Luo Xian was not afraid of life at all, and took the initiative to answer, and bowed at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang remembered that the baby who caused him to be fined also bowed like this, and his heart moved, "But you entered the school?" ”

"Yes."

"The students in the academy have all learned this kind of etiquette?"

"Back to the elder, yes."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Prime Minister Weifu of the Han Dynasty met the county Cheng of Nanxiang during a private visit, so naturally he couldn't hide it, and Zhang Xingyi was also happy to hand over the prime minister and his party to Luo Meng.

Compared with Luo Meng, who has a day off, Huo Yi is much busier during this time.

The palace held him accountable, although the main responsibility was not on him, but Jiang Bin stabbed the basket for him to make up for it.

Yue Xian was in a hurry, and the Purple Electric Treasure Knife not only had to fill the previous gap, but also had to create at least five hundred more before the end of the year.

It's going to be a dead man.

The craftsmanship of this purple electric treasure knife is extremely cumbersome, although there is no shortage of fine iron now, but it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to rely on the craftsman to hammer it out little by little.

And each one has to be inspected, and there can be no more mistakes, so that it can be sent to Yueshan.

Time is so tight, where does the rest come from?

Seeing that it was already getting late, Huo Yiyu carefully checked the newly created purple electric treasure knife one by one to make sure that there was no problem, and then ordered the people below, "Go, notify the steward of Dongfeng Express, and let them come over tomorrow to receive the treasure knife." ”

Today's Dongfeng Express is not as good as before, and the shortage of horses has been greatly alleviated after the normalization of the pastures in Yueshan, although it is not enough to meet the requirements of Feng Yong's heart that the outlets are all over the place, but the transportation capacity is properly ranked first in Dahan.

Dongfeng Express now has five main transportation routes.

The biggest one is naturally from Hanzhong to Jincheng.

As Hanzhong becomes more and more prosperous, the connection with Jincheng is also getting closer, and Dongfeng Express not only makes this connection closer, but also more convenient and fast.

In addition to woolen cloth is a must-carry thing every month, between Jincheng and Hanzhong, each family bits and pieces, if each time they send their own people, it will be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But with Dongfeng Express, it's different.

The Xinghan Society was originally dominated by the children of the powerful, and with their outlets, most of the families were willing to sell them a face at the beginning.

How do you know that after two or three times, everyone will find out, hey, this Dongfeng Express is quite convenient?

And so the business began to spread.

From Hanzhong to Jincheng is not a smooth road, on the contrary, there are a lot of mountains and rivers to pass.

There are many mountain people in many places who pick up farm tools to farm the land, and put down farm tools to pick up weapons, which is part-time bandits.

Even if the government sends troops to encircle and suppress it, and is forced to be in a hurry, and directly throws the weapon into the mountain, can you know who is the thief and who is the people?

This kind of work has been done in some places for several generations, it is already an ancestral craft, with great experience and courage, just last year, the chaotic people in the Wuthering Mountains and forests of Guanghan County even dare to grab the materials of the Northern Expedition, and ordinary people dare to do this?

That must be led by a veteran.

Therefore, when ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, it is good to just want to be able to stay alive, but they are afraid that they will not even be able to save their lives.

It's not easy to travel long distances in ancient times!

But Dongfeng Express is an outlier, not only traveling in groups, but also guarding that is not ordinary.

The militia members who used to do black-hearted business, the troops sent out by each family, the veterans who have gone through the battle array, and the weapons in their hands are the latest eliminated in the army, how can ordinary bandits have the courage to touch this kind of team?

The transportation is guaranteed, and the family is big, if there is a loss, it is also responsible for compensation.

It's convenient and secure, as long as you can afford it, who doesn't want to entrust it, for peace of mind?

Accumulate a lot, this business looks fragmented, in fact, it is really calculated, oil and water are really not young and old.

From Jincheng to Yong'an is the second transportation route.

This article was spearheaded by Xu You and Xu Xun, two nominal cousins.

Although the amount of raw sugar and sugarcane collected from Soochow this year was less than half of what was expected at the beginning, the source of sugar and sugar cane was finally not cut off.

The Xu family has been in business for more than two years, and now it has finally received a fruitful return.

The share distribution of brown sugar alone is much more than others.

Not to mention that with the realliance between the Han and the Eastern Wu, the transactions between the two became more and more active, and the exchange of various materials also increased.

It is unlikely that you will make a lot of money, but as long as you don't die, you can eat for two or three generations, and it's still no problem.

The Xu family took advantage of this, and even the brothers in the Xinghan Association were blushing - but they had no way to contact Jiaozhou!

As for the last three transportation routes, they all lead to Nanzhong.

The first half of them is the road from Jincheng to Yandao - including land and waterways.

Then it is separated from the Yan Road, one goes to Yueshan, one takes Nanyi Road to Wei County, and one takes Xiyi Road to Pingyi County.

These three are currently in a state of loss, or they are simply serving the people of the Xinghan Society, and they are not thinking about making money for the time being.

Nanzhong's manor is looking to be able to produce next year, and as long as the output of Nanzhong can be shipped out at that time, it will not be a loss, but a big profit.

Transporting things from Hanzhong to Yueshan, Dongfeng Express is the best choice, and the question is who pays.

The Yue Taishou Mansion privately customized new weapons, although it was allowed by the imperial court, but the Han arsenal didn't care about this, so it could only be paid by the Yue Taishou Mansion himself.

Feng Yong doesn't care about this, Yue Taishou Mansion asks Dongfeng Express to transport things, that is called the left hand to the right hand, afraid of an egg?

Hanzhongye quickly clicked on the requirements to build Lao Tzu's treasure knife well, which is serious.

"How's the weapon? Are there any unqualified? ”

A man shirtless, with a stubbled beard, a tired face, and the sweat from his body shining on him, came over and asked.

"Nope."

Huo Yi shook his head, and held the handle of one of the knives with both hands, picked it up, and shook it vigorously, only to see that the blade of the knife began to fluctuate left and right with an amplitude visible to the naked eye, which made people tremble.

Then he flipped the handle of the knife, and saw that one of the handles was engraved: Zidian two hundred and twelve, Huo Yijian of Hanzhong Metallurgy, Jiang Bin, and Tuesday.

Huo Yi put down the knife, then looked at Jiang Bin, and saw that the former puppeteer had become a full craftsman, and couldn't help sighing, "Even if you are held accountable, you won't be like this, why bother?" ”

Jiang Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Wrong is wrong, if you avoid responsibility because you are wrong, this is a mistake on top of a mistake." I could have resigned from my position as prisoner, but on Tuesday I was afraid that I would be punished for my mistakes. ”

"I lost my position as a prisoner, at most, I have no face, but if I am beaten into the lowly status again on Tuesday, it will be a catastrophe, affecting the whole family, and I am tired of being so tired because of my mistakes, how can I do it?"

As soon as his words came out, Huo Yi's face couldn't help but show admiration: Although this Jiang Langjun's behavior is a little unpleasant, he is not a downright person.
