Taking advantage of the fact that Zu Lang led the men and horses to Poyang Lake to gather soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng and Gan Ning quietly dressed up and mixed into Jianye City first.

I'm going to go and find out the news first and familiarize myself with the road conditions.

Jianye City is actually just called by Liu Zheng, and at this time it is not called Jianye, but Moling.

He has many names, from ancient times to the present, he is called Jinling, Jianye, Jiankang, Jiangning, Yingtian, Tianjing and other names.

But only the name Moling was called at the beginning, and the most meaningful meaning was that after Sun Quan, the Emperor of Eastern Wu, moved the capital here, and changed Moling to Jianye.

Meaning, make a difference!

Therefore, at this time, Moling is not a very big county, but a very ordinary port county, because it is on the edge of the Yangtze River, the trade here is also prosperous, and there are many merchants and customers, and the development is better than the general county.

It is precisely because there are many foreign businessmen here, so the external inspection here is not very strict, and Liu Zheng and others easily blended into the city.

At the beginning, Liu Zheng wanted to blend into the city, and Gan Ning still didn't want Liu Zheng to do this, after all, Liu Zheng's identity, if he stayed here now, once his identity was exposed, he was likely to be besieged.

Although Gan Ning is here, Gan Ning may not be able to defeat thousands of troops and protect Liu Zheng.

However, Liu Zheng said that he had not seen many people in his appearance, and it was not so easy to expose, so he agreed to Liu Zheng to mix into Moling County.

In Moling County, Liu Zheng did not go directly to the shop that Mi Zhu said, but took Gan Ning with him, and walked on Moling County with nothing to do.

It has been nearly two years since he came to these three worlds.

In the past two years, Liu Zheng has been in many cities, from the very beginning of Quyang County, Runan, and even the capital of Luoyang, he has been there.

After seeing a lot of county seats, Liu Zheng still feels that these cities are not perfect, there are not many fixed markets in the county, many vendors are in the streets in the center of the city, set up stalls at will, and the shop is just a simple gatehouse, which has some goods.

There are not many such shops, most of them are vendors, and some even sit on the ground, placing their items on the ground for people to choose from.

And Liu Zheng took a general look, although these things for sale, although there are all kinds of things, but there are not many types, most of them are some food and daily necessities, and the military items that Liu Zheng thinks are not common.

Military items like horses, iron tools, and the like are not seen here at all, and I don't know if they are all regulated.

"Lord, although this Moling County is a small county town, there are many more traders here than in Hepu City, Jiaozhou."

"Of course, although Moling County is only a small county town, it is close to the Yangtze River and has developed waters, so many traders can use the river to sell things from other states and counties, such as the celadon of Jiujiang County to be sold here, or the silk here will be sold in other places."

"The most powerful thing is that they can also pass through the waters, and in a short period of time, sell Jingzhou's specialties here before they rot, which can promote trade between the people, so that more people can come and commerce can rise."

Liu Zheng simply described the reason for the development of business here and Gan Ning, Gan Ning is also smart, although he doesn't understand what Liu Zheng said, he also understands that Liu Zheng must have Liu Zheng's thoughts when he says this.

"My lord, if our business in Jiaozhou can be so developed, why worry about Jiaozhou's lack of prosperity."

Liu Zheng looked back at Gan Ning and said with a smile at Gan Ning.

"Yes, Gan Ning, don't worry, with me, Jiaozhou will develop soon, or in less than five years, Jiaozhou will be able to compare with Yangzhou."

Gan Ning heard Liu Zheng's words, was convinced of Liu Zheng, and did not have any doubts about Liu Zheng's words.

As they walked, Liu Zheng and Gan Ning were on this street and saw a big wine word written on a restaurant.

"Let's go, there's a restaurant here, accompany me up for a drink."

Liu Zheng actually didn't like the drinks in the Three Kingdoms period, after all, he was a person who had tasted thousands of drinks in modern society, what cola, black tea, Wahaha, which one tasted better than this light and bitter wine.

But there was no way, at this time, there was nothing else to choose from, he could only choose this thing.

Better than nothing.

Although Liu Zheng was not very interested in this, Gan Ning liked it very much, and when he heard Liu Zheng say that he was going to drink, he immediately agreed excitedly.

"Well, my lord, I happen to be a little thirsty."

"Let's go, then."

Liu Zheng also knew Gan Ning's thoughts, and after smiling, he immediately walked into the restaurant.

In the huge restaurant, it is still a relatively wide place, whether it is from the appearance or from the interior decoration, it is a high-end place in this Moling County.

"Little Er, a pot of wine. A few side dishes. ”

As soon as Liu Zheng found a table and sat down, Gan Ning immediately shouted at Xiao Er, who was busy not far away.

"Okay, guest officer, please take a seat first, and the drinks will come later."

In the restaurant, there are a lot of people, and there are more than a dozen tables, which are basically full of people, so Xiao Er is still very busy.

As soon as Liu Zheng and Gan Ning sat down, Liu Zheng began to carefully prick up his two ears here.

In fact, he didn't come to this restaurant simply to drink, but for another purpose.

In a place like a restaurant, there are many people and mixed mouths, and there are all kinds of people who come here to drink, some run on the rivers and lakes, there are businessmen who come and go, and there are also officers and soldiers who peddle and so on.

When such people gather together and drink too much, they will naturally say anything, and this kind of place is the most suitable place to inquire about the news.

Just when Liu Zheng pricked up his ears, sure enough, the people at the tables around him began to talk about all kinds of news they had heard.

"Brother Zhang, this boat runs down, I'm afraid you can make seven or eight gold dollars."

"Where, there's not so much, at most it's three or four gold, and this is still my group of brothers to help, and the final profit will definitely be greatly discounted."

"That's not bad, now this river is getting more and more difficult to mix, a few days ago, I heard that many people's boats have been looted, and a trip to buy and sell, there is not much money at all."

"Yes, I've also heard that the ships protected by the big water thief Zulang a while ago were hijacked, we small traders, where do we dare to do these things, it's not good to do, I really hope that someone can come out and take care of these things, we, even if we pay more money, we are willing."

"Where is it so easy, this water area is so wide, there are too many people who rely on this water area to eat, it's not easy to manage."

……

Liu Zheng listened with slanted eyes, and the things that several people at the table next to him were talking about, and from what they said, Liu Zheng could see at a glance that these people were nearby boatmen.

Although what he said had something to do with the news he wanted to hear, in this way, these people couldn't hear anything substantive at all, so after Liu Zheng listened to a few words, he was not interested.

Instead, he looked at the guests at the other table.

"Come, come, drink! Brothers, after drinking this meal, we will go to Wuchenghou! ”

"Wu Cheng Hou is recruiting people in Wu County this time, if we can get Wu Cheng Hou's appreciation, maybe we can even mix up an official and a half position under Wu Cheng Hou's command."

"Second brother, is Wuchenghou really as powerful as you say?"

"Nonsense, of course, Wu Chenghou I have seen it with my own eyes, it is very powerful, his strength, I can't beat the horse, and I heard that he recently wants to re-recruit soldiers and horses and kill back to Jingzhou, this is the time when there is a shortage of manpower."

"Okay, second brother, I believe you, after eating this meal, we will go to Wu County and defect to Wuchenghou."

……

On the other table, several strong men were raised, after touching each other's cups.

Each of them drank all the wine in their glasses.

Liu Zheng listened to their words and immediately frowned.

The Wuchenghou they said was none other than Sun Jian, whom Liu Zheng knew.

is also an old friend, after Sun Jian's defeat in Changsha, he was covered by Huang Gai and fled with the remnants of the soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng searched several times, but did not find his figure, who knew that he did not go back to Changsha, but fled directly back to his old nest Wu County.

Even now, Huang Gai, who was covering for Sun Jian, is still being imprisoned in the dungeon in Jiaozhou, and Liu Zheng is also trying to recruit Huang Gai, but Huang Gai is not easy to recruit, and he has little interest in Liu Zheng at all.

Liu Zheng was reluctant to kill him, so he could only be temporarily imprisoned.

"Okay, Sun Jian, this guy doesn't seem to have given up yet, and plans to return to Jingzhou, but even so, it's not much use, Changsha has already returned to Liu Biao, even if Sun Jian can return to Jingzhou, he wants to get Changsha back from Liu Biao, but it's not so easy."

Just when Liu Zheng wanted to continue to listen to the conversation of others in this restaurant, a young man ran over quickly outside the door of this restaurant.

The young man walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the restaurant, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the restaurant, his eyes immediately swept around, and when he saw that there was no vacancy in the restaurant, he immediately frowned.

But soon, he put down his frowning brows and his eyes fell on Liu Zheng's table.

Then his face was happy, and he walked up in a few steps.

"Brother, do you mind if I sit here?"

There are more than a dozen tables in the entire restaurant, all of which are already full, and most of them are gathered in three or five.

Only Liu Zheng is here, only he and Gan Ning, and there are two vacant seats on the boxy table.
