sent Wang Chengen away, and Xu Changqing's spirit was also greatly boosted.

Although this did not meet Wu Xiang's proposal and pushed the prison army to the beginning of spring next year, the decision of Xu Changqing and Wang Chengen at this time was undoubtedly better than Wu Xiang's proposal!

It not only clarified the self-interested aspect of the rights of the supervising army, but also separated the supervising army from the main force.

This time, even if it is the beginning of spring next year, Xu Changqing thought. There is still plenty of room for operation.

After establishing the matter of supervising the army, and opening up the road on Shen Tingyang's side, Wang Hai's craftsmen can basically set off.

Of course, preparation before departure is also essential, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the vehicle.

Even if you can take a boat to Cangzhou, it still takes a long distance to the seaside, and the weather is not good at this time, so it is obviously much more convenient to have a chicken bus.

The chicken bus is actually very simple, according to the current prices in Beijing, second-hand goods can be bought for one or two silver.

If you can get through the relationship and follow the path of Beijing, it will be cheaper.

With Xu Changqing's current energy, these problems are not big.

The second core is the issue of food.

Food is simpler than a chicken bus, and Xu Changqing will definitely not buy too much grain from Beijing.

Although there are a lot of fields around Jingshi, there are all kinds of Zhuangzi, but these are basically the playthings of the powerful, and the yield is not high.

Most of the grain needed by the Jingshi at this time came from the south, especially Jiangnan and Huguang.

Xu Changqing went to Cangzhou after that, and bought grain from Cangzhou, Linqing, Jinan, including Denglai, which was definitely much cheaper than in Beijing.

Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to make friends with local tycoons and Cao gang bosses.

As for the tenants and people on the Jizhen side, including the Liaodong side, they must have come by sea.

However, after all, the amount of work is too large, and there is no hurry at this time, it must be based on the foundation of Xu Changqing in Liaodong.

Only when they come over, build a new fishing system, and determine the amount of fish, can Xu Changqing really have the spare energy to arrange other largesse.

……

At noon the next day, Xu Changqing asked to see Emperor Chongzhen again, mainly for the title of Xu Shengyuan, a 'guerrilla general', and at the same time, to say goodbye to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen is in a very good mood today.

Wang Chengen reported many things to him in person last night, which made him feel that he was in control of Xu Changqing.

At this time, hearing Xu Changqing take the initiative to mention Xu Shengyuan's matter, Emperor Chongzhen was in a better mood and said lightly: "Little Xuzi, you have done a good job in this matter." After all, they are going to train soldiers, they should be beaten, they should be scolded, and if they don't succeed, they will be whipped. I'm done with that. By the way, I heard you're collecting chicken buses? When are you ready to go? ”

Xu Changqing said with a smile: "Emperor, this is naturally as fast as possible, I can't wait to go to Shandong to train for the emperor immediately." It's just that the chicken bus thing ......"

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.

This little bastard, this is the knife that wants to kill him again!

However, there are only a few thousand chicken buses, and Emperor Chongzhen is too lazy to settle the chicken account with Xu Changqing, and it is not worth much anyway, so he said coldly: "Okay." I'm ready, you go and discuss it with Wang Chengen. I'm a little uncomfortable today, little Xuzi, kneel down! ”

As he spoke, he turned away with a cold face.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "Little Xuzi, you are a good boy, don't let me down!" ”

“……”

Xu Changqing was a little speechless for a while.

This is...... Scared?

But Emperor Chongzhen was so angry, but it made Xu Changqing more down-to-earth, and he was busy smiling and kneeling.

When Xu Changqing left, Emperor Chongzhen relaxed slightly, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This little bastard, where did you get so many ghost thoughts?" If you leave this guy in the capital again, you can't empty out all my family funds? ”

……

With Emperor Chongzhen's golden words, Xu Changqing doesn't need to spend the silver of the chicken car, of course, the benefit fee must still be given.

After careful calculation, it is about the same price as buying it directly, but it is less than 10% cheaper......

It also made Xu Changqing a little speechless.

However, the advantage of spending money in this way is that Xu Changqing got to know many people in Beijing, and his contacts suddenly expanded a lot.

Although there is no big guy, there are a lot of grassroots skeletons, and if there is something in the future, it will undoubtedly be much smoother.

After more than three days of preparation, nearly 2,000 chicken buses have all been put in place.

Xu Changqing collected some grain in the capital for the road, and sent people to collect some grain in Tongzhou and Cangzhou, and the time was ripe for the artisan households to migrate.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, early in the morning of October 29.

More than 500 good craftsmen who have been recuperated these days took the lead out of the city, went to Tongzhou, and embarked on the road to the south.

At this time, the Yang family had already finished proposing marriage to the Li family in Shanhaiguan and was rushing towards the Jingshi.

Maybe it's because of this incident, Li Shizhong's health is better, and there shouldn't be much of a problem to survive this year.

However, Xu Changqing will not wait for the Yang family and them in the capital.

At this time, time is still quite precious, and if you can arrive in Shandong one step earlier, you can determine the location one step earlier, so that Xu Changqing's foundation can really land.

Of course, Xu Changqing didn't dare to slack off on the security work around his mother, and Lao Cao still had to do more.

October 30.

Xu Changqing personally led the second batch of more than 800 artisan households and went straight to Tongzhou.

Shen Tingyang was also busy with his affairs in Beijing at this time, and walked with Xu Changqing.

As for Xu Shengyuan and his people, they didn't have such good luck, not only did they not have a boat to sit on, but they also had to take care of the baggage themselves, and they had to arrive in Zhanhua in a month and a half, Xu Changqing was almost difficult for him.

But this kid was also quite ruthless, he didn't say a word, and he was stunned to swallow Xu Changqing's order.

Thousands of people are like forests, and thousands of people are like the sea.

At this time, although Xu Changqing's team was less than 10,000 people, it was not much worse, plus countless war horses, carriages, and chicken carriages, it soon stretched out for several miles, forming a long dragon.

Shen Tingyang rode on a snow-white Arabian thoroughbred, and he was also full of emotion for a while: "Brother, it's so fast." We have only met for a few days, and in the blink of an eye, we are going to separate again. ”

Xu Changqing already knew Shen Tingyang very well at this time.

Although this guy is a businessman, in his bones, he is still a respected literati, and the two words describe it as ...... Sentimental.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Brother Shen, how do you say the old saying, the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come." It's a new beginning for us! However, having said that...... Big brother, your horse is really good, so beautiful. ”

Shen Tingyang couldn't help laughing, and said proudly: "Beautiful, right? I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy it from those white-haired ghosts in Nanyang. This is a real sweat BMW! ”

Xu Changqing also sighed a little for a while.

I thought I was already a little rich, but ~, compared with a local tyrant like Shen Tingyang, it was completely incomparable......

You can buy a horse for tens of thousands of taels of silver......

It's a pity that although this Arabian thoroughbred is beautiful, it is a male, and it is castrated, otherwise, the price of 10,000 taels is really not expensive!

Those white-haired ghosts do know how to play.

They bought this kind of pure-blooded pony from those Ottomans, and it was estimated that it would cost one or two thousand taels of silver, and they would have to raise it for a few years, which would have to increase by five or six times.

Of course, in later generations, this price may be even more exaggerated, a pure-blooded racehorse, tens of millions of dollars are normal, and the annual food cost alone can be millions of dollars.

It's really people who are cheaper than horses.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was a little silent, Shen Tingyang smiled and said: "Brother, BMW is a hero, this horse, my brother sent you!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to get off the horse and give the horse to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing suddenly smiled bitterly: "Brother Shen, don't!" I can't afford to give me this BMW. If the provision dies, it is a sin. Wait a few years, and you'll help me get a better one in a few years. ”

Shen Tingyang was stunned for a moment, but also understood what Xu Changqing meant, and also smiled bitterly: "This is also a matter."

This BMW is indeed beautiful and runs fast, but unfortunately, it is too expensive, and the endurance is average, but it is really not as good as the average war horse.

I bought this to save face.

Brother, the eldest brother knows who you are, but the eldest brother just wants to give you some gifts, don't refuse, this is a little bit of the eldest brother's heart.

Since you don't want a horse, then~, how about exchanging this horse for grain of one or two hundred thousand silver? ”

Xu Changqing was a little silent.

Shen Tingyang's arrogance and affection are really not to be said.

In the end, Xu Changqing did not refuse, and nodded heavily, "Brother Shen, our brothers don't need to say anything, the days are still long!" ”

Shen Tingyang laughed: "Brother, I love to hear what you say, brother!" ”

However, what Xu Changqing didn't notice was that behind Shen Tingyang's coolness, there was some indescribable embarrassment in his eyes.

He has always been commensurate with Xu Changqing's brother, but ...... What about his daughter?

……

With Shen Tingyang's company, Xu Changqing is not lonely along the way.

However, the team was too large and too bloated, and it was only a hundred miles to Tongzhou, but it had been walking for more than three days.

Rao is this kind of turtle speed, and many of the men in the right years of the craftsmen are also tired.

Think about it too.

A person pushes a chicken cart and walks 30 miles a day, not only carrying household belongings, but also sometimes carrying people, this kind of physical exertion is not a joke.

And this is still the official road from Beijing to Tongzhou is very easy to walk, if you no longer take the official road in Cangzhou, then ~, what speed should it be?

At this time, Uncle Zhong and them on the western side of Liaoning should have received the letter, and the striker should have begun to move south.

Xu Changqing also really calmed down at this time, and the road ahead was by no means as easy as he imagined.

In later generations, people conquered nature, and with the support of a powerful technology tree, it was almost a flat push, but at this time, nature could let Xu Changqing drink a pot with a small sneeze casually.

On the fourth day of November, Tongzhou Wharf.

Countless boats have already anchored here, and have been on board since last night, but there are so many people that at the current pace, at least they will not be able to set off until evening.

Beside Xu Changqing, Shen Tingyang's face was also a little calm.

In the past few days, although he has been amusing Xu Changqing, how can he not know what kind of difficulties Xu Changqing will face next?

He just wanted to use this way to make Xu Changqing relax.

However, when I got to the dock and got on the boat, this ease also stopped......

Xu Changqing naturally understood Shen Tingyang's affection, just now, the people of the eldest brother of the first official also came to urge, they were going to leave in mid-November, and Shen Tingyang's original plan to accompany Xu Changqing to Cangzhou was also in vain.

The two looked at each other, and there was some silence for a while.

After a moment, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Brother Shen, you and my brother are both dignified men and husbands, how can they be mother-in-law and mother-in-law like a little woman." Brother Shen, this is not a parting of life and death, but a new beginning for us! ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing hugged Shen Tingyang heavily, and whispered in his ear: "Big brother, take care all the way!! ”

Shen Tingyang's eyes were also a little moist, and he said heavily: "Brother, have a good trip!" Next year, I hope to moor at your pier! ”

"Drive, drive!"

Watching Shen Tingyang and his party ride away and go to the dock to the south to board the boat, Xu Changqing's eyes were a little uncontrollable blurred for a while.

But soon, Xu Changqing's eyes were as firm as a mountain!

A new era has begun!
