Preface The Road Ahead

In June of the fourth year of Yongli, Shaoxing Mansion.

Since the first year of the Lu Jianguo, when the Ming army collapsed on the Qiantang River, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has officially occupied this land for more than four years.

There used to be a weaving of cars and horses on the official road, but now there are few pedestrians. The rice paddies next to the official road still look green in this harvest season. If you look closely, it is the unbridled growth of weeds, which has long since submerged the boundaries of the ridges.

In the distance, a land temple stands alone on the other side of the field, probably because no one has worshiped for a long time, it looks dilapidated, and even the gate seems to have escaped with the temple.

In the corner of the ruined temple, Chen Wen sat by the wall, laboriously nibbling on the black cake in his hand, and couldn't stop sneering.

A watch was changed for such a thing, and I was also drunk.

I remember reading a novel before, saying that someone used a watch to exchange for 100,000 taels of silver, and I thought it was a bad deal at the time. But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. We have 100,000 taels of silver for this meal now, and Iron Man is probably not such a tyrant, right?

Putting away the cranky thoughts just now, Chen Wen swallowed the last bite of the cake that he had chewed carefully for an unknown number of times. Then, licking the scraps from the corners of his mouth, he lowered his head to look for the pieces that might have fallen on his clothes.

This local tyrant eats the realm of real Nima, and he can't eat enough at all!

Until he really couldn't find anything, Chen Wen touched his unsatisfied belly, closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall, trying to make himself more comfortable.

It's been three days since I came here, from the initial confusion and anger, to sadness and helplessness. In the end, under the ultimatum of the stomach, I had no choice but to exchange the watch on my body for such a piece of cake.

Think about yourself, it's been many years since I graduated, and it's just a small business. Although the monthly salary has not yet reached the share of white-collar workers, it is not too much. After working in this company for a few years, the boss finally let go, and if he won this order, he could be promoted.

Thinking back to my famous words, I was really a little excited to get promoted, raise salary, become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and go to the peak of life.

But as a result, I was still too young, I drank too much wine, took a taxi home, and inexplicably arrived in this era. As for the contract that is still lying in the briefcase, has been signed and sealed, and claims to be the company's largest contract in the last two years, it is really a husky.

Forget it, let's think about what to do to continue to live.

Chen Wen took out the wallet, keys and mobile phone in his pocket, and looked at the shoulder bag in the corner, there should be a power bank and a few pens in it. Think about the previous watch, how long do these things last? One week? Or ten days? As for the salary card, credit card and the 200 soft girl coins in the wallet......

Come on, it's really not a way to go on like this, you have to find something to do.

Chen Wen thought about it, although his grades were not good when he was in school, he should be able to write and forget in this ancient era with a low literacy rate, and it should not be a problem to be an account office. After doing the bookkeeper, you can also be a shopkeeper, open a store, and then become a generation of wealthy businessmen with the marketing experience of later generations.

Even if no one wants to be in the accounting room, with this physique raised under modern nutritional standards, it can definitely be called a stand out among the ancient people who were generally malnourished, even if it is a nursing home or something, it shouldn't be asked. Isn't there also someone who has also made it the best?

If people can be, so can I.

However, the problem has returned, at the moment, whether you are working as a bookkeeper or as a housekeeper, you have to shave your head first, otherwise you will not be able to find a job.

If it's in modern times, it's just a matter of shaving your head, it's a problem? I have interviewed so many companies, I have not seen what kind of employment standards, and when I go out, it is free and dozens of hundreds, and I can meet the standard within an hour, SoEasy. If you can't accept it, you can just change companies, and it's not a big deal.

However, the "shaving of the head" at this moment is the most notorious shaving of the head without hair in the history of human civilization!

In the fourth year of Yongli, Zhejiang's hairdressing market has basically been unified by the legendary domineering head shape with only a small braid. Chen Wen felt that he had such a short hair, let alone going into the city to do the accounting office, or to move bricks to make ends meet, he had to worry about letting people move his head before he entered the city.

It seems that the Manchu occupation area cannot go, so what about the territory of the Ming army.

In Chen Wen's memory, according to the notes of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty government has never been interested in what kind of head shape the common people keep, especially in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there are all kinds of strange costumes.

Chen Wen felt that according to the description in a novel he once read, his hairstyle could be regarded as a righteous person who was forced to shave his hair and then renewed it after leaving the Qing occupied area.

In this way, the hairstyle is no problem. However, which Ming army's territory to go to?

Chen Wen recalled for a moment, the most recent is the Lu Jian Guo Xing Dynasty, which now occupies Zhoushan in Zhejiang, including Siming Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Wenzhou Sanpan, and hundreds of righteous teachers in eastern Zhejiang all respect the orders of Lu Jian Guo.

However, Lu Jianguo and his old man don't have a few days to live. Three months later, the Qing army encircled and suppressed the Ming army in Siming Mountain and washed the mountain; In August of the next year, the Qing army attacked Zhoushan and slaughtered the city. During this period, the various departments of the Ming army of the Lu Jianguo system were still engaged in mergers and infighting......

Then there is the Yongli Imperial Court, the strongest Ming army system in this era, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, Fujian, Huguang, Sichuan Ming Army and Qianshun Army are all orthodox with the Yongli Emperor, and even the Great Western Army in Yunnan is also negotiating with the Yongli Imperial Court to acquire matters.

But the question is, who did he mess with when he got there? Sun Kewang? Li Dingguo? Liu Wenxiu? Or is it the Son of Eternal Calendar? None of them sound much better than the others.

Finally, it is located in Yanping County, Fujian, Wang Zheng Chenggong's department, if you look at the distance, it can only be barely regarded as not far or close, but this distance is not within his reach now. However, if you can make it to Fujian, it is the longest and safest place to go.

It's just that in Chen Wen's impression, it seems that the development process of the surname Guo is not very smooth, almost every time he wins a battle, he will always suffer a big defeat, and then spit out all the fruits of victory that have not had time to digest. Moreover, I forgot whether it was the end of this year or the beginning of next year, and his old man's base camp, Zhongzuo, was also captured by the Qing army.

In the chaotic times of the Ming Dynasty, where can I avoid Qin.

Putting aside these meaningless thoughts, Chen Wen, who had always been optimistic, suddenly felt a little lucky.

He has liked to read novels since he was in school, and he has learned some history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in forums and novels over the years. Although there will be mistakes and omissions in the details, he still remembers the relatively large historical events quite clearly. If it weren't for that, with his head shape, he would crash headlong into the area occupied by the Qing army, and then, there would be nothing more.

Yes.

Bread, there will always be; There will always be opportunities.
