It is said that Zeng Yu and his entourage followed Zhang Fuguang's convoy to the village, only to see that there were old but not dilapidated houses on the side of the road, and it was estimated that there were more than 20 households at a cursory glance, which was a relatively large village. You must know that in the Han Dynasty, there was a total population of more than 50 million, which can be said to be vast and sparsely populated.

There is only one main road in the village, which is connected to the households by a number of small roads. At this time, a middle-aged man with two teenagers was walking quickly on the main road and walked straight in front of them.

"Boss Zhang, I'm finally looking forward to you again, it's getting dark today, let's rest for one night before leaving", this person walked up to Zhang Fuguang and said to him with a flattering face.

"Village Chief Li, we have a lot of people today, we need a few more rooms to come out, no problem", Zhang Fuguang was worried that there were not enough rooms in the village, so he asked first.

"Yes, there are some, please rest assured, I don't know how many rooms you need, I'll arrange it."

"Just double the previous amount".

"That's simple, I'll let some boys squeeze it, and I can free up three families."

"Okay, you lead the way, or as before, only the host's family will prepare the meal at home, and the bill will be paid to you tomorrow." When Zhang Fuguang heard that there was no problem, he replied, and at the same time motioned to Zeng Yu with his eyes to see if he had any other opinions.

Zeng Yu heard the conversation between the two of them and knew the general situation, so of course he nodded and agreed. Zhang Fuguang understood what he meant, so he asked the village chief to arrange it quickly. The village chief asked the two teenagers who followed him to inform him first, and he took Zhang Fuguang and Zeng Yu and them to walk inside.

Zhang Fuguang also told Zeng Yu about the situation in the village. This village is called Lijia Village, which is the largest village in the vicinity, and many other villages around it, many young people can't live their lives, so they have fled, become homeless, and fled to Sili Nanyang and other places, and the others who did not escape were slowly annexed by the landlord Haoqiang, and sold themselves into slavery, although they don't have to leave their hometowns, but they have lost their freedom since then, and they don't know which of these two roads is good and which is bad.

As for Lijia Village, the reason why life is still passable is that the village chief will operate it, and attract merchants to stay here and rest, which can always make the villagers make some money. Second, most of the people in the village are members of the Taiping Dao, although they are just ordinary members, but they are always more motivated than others, and belief in this thing is like this, although it is ethereal, but the effect on people is real.

After listening to Zhang Fuguang's introduction, Zeng Yu and Sun Hao beside him quietly glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise and joy in each other's eyes. Sun Hao heard Zeng Yu mention it, and knew that the Yellow Turban Uprising was initiated by the Taiping Taoist Advocate Corner, and what they were waiting for was the Taiping Daoist uprising. It was rare to have the opportunity to learn about Taiping Dao, so they took a closer look.

Led by the village chief, their group walked all the way inside. The village is relatively large, and it took about a quarter of an hour to reach the destination. At this time, the two came back to inform the teenagers of each family that they were already waiting in front, and there were some women with children next to them, who should be the family members who had vacated the vacant room for them.

The village chief walked a few quick steps, came to them, and said, "After all of you have worked hard today, you should go to the warehouse to rest as before." There are beds and so on, you can clean up and bring the quilt to make up for the night. Of course, if you are not feeling well, you can come to my house, everyone is a brother in the church, and if you have difficulties, just say it. ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he walked to Zhang Fuguang and the others, and pointed out that those families could be borrowed today.

"Dare to ask Village Chief Li, I heard you mention the brothers in the sect, are the heads of these families all Taiping Taoists?" At this time, Zeng Yu suddenly wanted to ask the village chief.

"Little brother guessed right, we are all disciples of the great sage and good teacher." When the village chief heard Zeng Yu mention Taiping Dao, he immediately returned to the Tao proudly, and his eyes were still full of a fiery piety.

"Then may I ask the village chief, is Taiping Dao only in Jizhou or other states and counties, and I myself also appreciate the teachings of your religion, all for the people of the world." Zeng Yu took the opportunity to ask.

"I don't know about this, but our sect leader is in Jizhou, and I guess we are mainly saving the people of Jizhou." When the village chief returned, he didn't know if he really didn't know.

However, he also revealed one point, that is, Zhang Jiao is in Jizhou, if history is not wrong, a few years later, the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao was defeated and killed in Guangzong, and his nest should be there. Zeng Yu thought, maybe he can go there to have a look, anyway, now that the uprising has not broken out, and he is white, there should be no problem going there. In addition, Guangzong is also close to Changshan, Changshan Zhao Zilong, but the famous martial god in history, this is originally the military general who must be subdued in his goal, but he must hurry, if he is taken first, then he will regret it.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yu was also anxious, and said a few words casually to the village chief, and then took Sun Hao and them to their respective houses. Because there are not many houses, they are all shared by several people, Zeng Yu and the three of them walked to his house with the villagers who led the team.

The sun had already set, Zeng Yu and the others finished dinner, and the table didn't have to be cleaned up by themselves, just handed it over to the villagers, and told him not to disturb the three of them at night, and the money would be settled tomorrow, and the three of them walked to the room.

When they arrived at the room, the three of them put down their baggage and prepared to rest.

"Lord, I don't know very well, why do you want to be with Zhang Fuguang, businessmen are profitable, let's get close to them, will there be any problems in the future." Sun Hao was the first to ask. This is also a problem of social attitudes, the great unification family has a bad impression of the merchants, and the peasants and industrialists, whether they are bureaucratic scholars or lower-class peasants, feel that the merchants are an uncertain factor in society.

Zeng Yu knew that Sun Hao would definitely ask, but he didn't expect to be in such a hurry, knowing that he also looked down on businessmen. Turned his head to look at Wang Qing, also waiting for his answer, but not so eager, too, Wang Qing usually does not have so many rules and regulations, and is not so arrogant.

"Zijin, I told you, just call me eldest brother in private, there is no need for the three of us to be so polite. As for the question of friendship with Zhang Fuguang, I knew you would ask, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry. You know, we are white at the moment, we have no identity, we have no status, and if we want to achieve something, we should use everything around us. Zeng Yu replied.

"And, do you know, in the world of dreams, the importance of money can be said to be exerted to the extreme, although it is not omnipotent, but there is no never, how can the society not be so much, but the importance of the economy is still not negligible. Why did Guan Zhong assist the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, become a tyrant in the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the allusion of Tian Chen usurping Qi, you should all know that the importance of the economy has long been determined by the ancestors, and you will see it later. ”

"Lord, we know, since the eldest brother has a plan, then we will listen to you." When Sun Hao and Wang Qing heard this, they knew that Zeng Yu had a plan and was not fooled, so they were relieved. It's just that their title for Zeng Yu has not changed since they recognized him as the lord, and Zeng Yu can only let it go.

"Zijin, Ziwu, in fact, I still have a plan. We will have a territory of our own next, originally set to subdue the cottage, but obviously it is impossible for everyone to go together, so next I plan to take Wang Qing and a few people together, Zijin you lead the rest of the people in Anping County, collect information from all sides, if you can, try to pay more attention to some prices, and we have to hoard more grain and grass. Zeng Yu told them again.

"We know this, then the lord, you must pay attention to safety, in case there is any difficulty in the cottage, send the news down in time, we will find a way to support, if there is danger, it doesn't matter if you withdraw first, leave Qingshan without worrying about no firewood." Sun Hao knew that he didn't have a big role in following up, and that others also needed a leader, so he readily agreed.

"Erhei, the safety of the lord will be handed over to you, if there is anything missing, then I don't recognize you as a brother." Sun Hao said to Wang Qing again.

"Haozi, don't worry, as long as I have a breath of air, I will ensure the safety of the lord." Wang Qing patted his chest and said.

"Okay, that's fine, we'll wait for your good news in the county seat." Sun Hao returned.

"Zijin, there is another thing you should pay attention to, that is, what is the reputation of the pride of the county magistrates, and which ones are usually powerful and prosperous, fish and meat of the people, you collect the information, and you will use it in the future." Zeng Yu said to Sun Hao.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's all a small matter, it's just that we collect this, is it...?" When Sun Hao heard this, he suddenly became energetic, and asked with a light in his eyes.

"You guessed right, if it goes well, we have a territory, and we definitely can't do the business of cutting paths, but if you want to be bigger, you must have money, so you can only take it from here, and you can also collect the voice of the people."

"That's right, when the time comes, we will operate it, and we will definitely let the people know that it is our action, and I like it the most." Sun Hao heard Zeng Yu's affirmative answer, and replied happily.

"Okay, then rest first, we won't go to the county seat tomorrow, Zijin, you take your brothers over, if there is news, I will let people go to the county seat to send a message to you, and then you arrange for someone to keep an eye on the city gate, as short as ten days, as much as half a month, I will definitely send someone to contact you." Zeng Yu also said to Sun Hao. After all, they are in the mountains, and it is the first time to act, and they need to send back news regularly to give everyone confidence.

"Yes, I will send someone to squat every day, not only during the day, but also at night, I will also send my brothers to wait, in case it is inconvenient for you to go down the mountain during the day, you can also answer it at night." Sun Hao knew the purpose of Zeng Yu's words, and replied decisively, and was worried that if there was any accident, he would go down the mountain at night, thinking that it would be more reliable around the clock.

The three of them talked about it, and they planned to rest separately, as for Wang Qing, as long as he was with Zeng Yu and them, he was habitually too lazy to think, they all listened to them, anyway, the temple is this kind of thing, he is not as good as the two, he is good at arranging troops, of course, he likes to charge more is to charge into battle, at this time he knows that there will be a chance next, although it is only a small opportunity, but after all, it is the first time in many years of learning art, I have long been looking forward to and excited, and my mind has long flown to the battle. At this time, he was smirking there with a spear, and it was estimated that even if he fell asleep, he might be fighting in his dreams.
