Chapter 2: Troubled

After a few days of recuperation, Zhang Feng felt that the injury on his head was much better, no longer in pain, and the whole person felt basically back to normal, the only thing was that due to the lack of exercise, his body was a little weak, as if he was a scholar who was powerless.

In two days, Zhang Feng also learned a lot of things, he had just turned sixteen years old, if in the later life, this is the age of middle school, but in the Ming Dynasty, sixteen years old is considered an adult.

Since last year, Zhang Feng no longer needs to study, but follows Zhang Yuanxiang to learn to do business.

In the past, Zhang Feng had been studying in the school, Zhang Yuanxiang expected Zhang Feng to be able to take a show or something, but Zhang Feng's reading qualifications were only above average, not top-notch, Zhang Yuanxiang gave up the expectation of showing talent and began to take Zhang Fengxue to do business, ready to train himself as his successor and inherit the family business.

Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen have the most no status in this era, since they can't get ahead by studying, and it is helpless to engage in business, Zhang Yuanxiang himself is a businessman.

As for Zhang Hai, he has already shown a very high talent for reading, and Zhang Yuanxiang has high hopes, hoping that from now on, the old Zhang family will be able to show off his talents, or even lift people.

Zhang Feng's family belongs to the family of merchants, a total of three people, Zhang Yuanxiang, Zhang Feng, Zhang Hai, and several maids and maids at home, as well as a housekeeper and a long-term worker.

The house of the Zhang family is not small, the street is a large gate, the façade is a large cloth village operated by Zhang Yuanxiang himself, in Songjiang Mansion, such a cloth village, in terms of scale, is definitely first-class.

Behind the façade is a boxy courtyard, a bit like a courtyard, in the center of the courtyard there is not only a well, but also a rockery, but also planted with some flowers and trees.

Zhang Feng lived in the West Wing, pushed the door and walked out of his room, the flowers and trees in the yard were spitting out new green, with a little spring.

"The air is so fresh!"

Taking a few breaths of air, Zhang Feng sighed that there is no industrial pollution, no haze, and the air is different.

Looking at the situation in the yard, Zhang Feng thought in his heart, this is good, such a property, if it is a sky-high price in the future life, it seems that he has been reborn into a solid family, although it is not as good as the wealthy businessmen, but it also seems to be good.

Looking at the courtyard, Zhang Feng felt very satisfied with the environment, such a house, living in a very comfortable place, the weather is good, the air is good, Zhang Feng's heart moved.

Zhang Feng unconsciously practiced the "Five Elements Exercise" and began to exercise. Speaking of "Five Elements Exercise", it is necessary to talk about Zhang Feng's great opportunity in the later life, which is a long story, and I will not talk about it here for the time being.

Although the long-term practice of "Five Elements Exercise" cannot reach the level of invulnerability and underwear, it can also greatly enhance physical function, prolong life and be full of energy.

In later generations, Zhang Feng often practiced the "Five Elements Exercises", and his physical condition was very good, at least at the level of an athlete, in addition, he was energetic and flexible, otherwise, he would not be young, and he became a world-renowned scholar and technical expert in his thirties.

Zhang Feng practiced several times in the yard, felt a stinky sweat, and his body was very comfortable before stopping.

After practicing like this, Zhang Feng wiped a handful of sweat, smelled it, and thought to himself, it stinks!

Zhang Feng knew that in the initial stage of practicing the Five Elements Exercises, every time he sweated, it was more smelly, which was to eliminate impurities in the body, which was equivalent to cutting hair and washing the marrow.

After the impurities of the body are gradually eliminated, even if you sweat in the future, your physical fitness will go to a big step, the body will gradually become stronger, and your mind will gradually become brighter, such as full of energy, memory enhancement, quick response and so on.

"Young Master, where are you?"

As soon as he entered the compound, he saw that Zhang Feng was doing some strange actions just now, and he couldn't understand it at all, so the housekeeper Zhou Xiaohai asked suspiciously.

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm exercising." ”

"Exercising?"

Obviously, Zhou Xiaohai didn't understand what it meant to exercise, so he was slightly puzzled, and he didn't dwell on this issue, but said with concern: "Young Master, I think it's important for you to go back to your room to recuperate." ”

Zhang Feng moved his hands and feet in front of Zhou Xiaohai and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm basically all right, and I don't need to lie in bed anymore to recuperate." ”

"Really, it's getting better so fast."

Zhou Xiaohai was overjoyed, he has been in the Zhang family for more than 20 years, from the beginning of the long work to the current housekeeper, after a long time, Zhou Xiaohai has feelings for the Zhang family, and is naturally very concerned about Zhang Feng.

After chatting with Zhou Xiaohai for a while, Zhang Feng took a hot bath, washed off his stinky sweat, washed cleanly, changed into clean clothes, and felt very comfortable.

This is Zhang Feng's first hot bath after crossing, a large wooden barrel, enough hot water, very comfortable, Zhang Feng is already a little satisfied, in such a solid home, there is such a house, there is a big store in front, it is considered to be worry-free.

However, will it really be like this, will there be no worries about food and clothing? Apparently not so.

After taking a comfortable shower and changing into clean clothes, Zhang Feng met Zhang Yuanxiang in the living room, in the past two days, Zhang Yuanxiang didn't know what he was busy with, and his face was not good this time.

Previously, Zhang Feng asked several times, but Zhang Yuanxiang never said, on the one hand, he was worried that it would affect Zhang Feng's recovery, and on the other hand, Zhang Yuanxiang thought that even if he told Zhang Feng about it, it would not make any difference, in Zhang Yuanxiang's eyes, Zhang Feng was just a teenager who had just turned sixteen.

"Father, can you tell me about something?"

Seeing Zhang Feng ask again, and seeing that Zhang Feng's injury seemed to be almost better, after thinking about it, Zhang Yuanxiang sighed and said, "Feng'er, it is estimated that it will take a few days, and we will have to go back to the countryside." ”

"Back in the country?" Zhang Feng was puzzled and said: "We live well here, why do we want to go back to the countryside?" ”

For here, Zhang Feng is very satisfied, there is a big courtyard, a quiet environment, no worries about food and clothing, and maids and maids to serve, although it is not as good as a wealthy mansion, but it is also a good day.

At the same time, Zhang Feng knew that in the countryside in this era, there was nothing, and it must be very difficult, so Zhang Feng was unwilling to go back to the countryside.

Zhang Yuanxiang also doesn't want to go back to the countryside, since his father, that is, Zhang Feng's grandfather, he has lived here for decades, and through decades of accumulation and hard work, it has been passed on to Zhang Yuanxiang's hands, which is already a small family fortune, who wants to go back to the countryside to live a hard life.

But what if you don't go back?

For this matter, Zhang Yuanxiang was so worried that his hair was almost white, and he did all the hard work, but things did not improve.

Zhang Yuanxiang said: "Feng'er, this house will not be our Zhang family in a few days, this will be the Xu family in the future, and the Xu family will come to collect this house in a few days." ”

This is a bombshell, Zhang Feng's face was shocked, and he looked at Zhang Yuanxiang in a daze.

Zhang Yuanxiang sighed and explained the matter roughly. It turned out that Zhang Yuanxiang set up a weaving workshop, that is, a weaving workshop, and invested a lot of money, and the weaving mill has been going downhill, in order to maintain its business, he borrowed a loan shark from the Xu family last year, and it was with this house that he made a mortgage.

Zhang Yuanxiang said that the Xu family, Zhang Feng also learned, is a relatively large and powerful merchant family in Songjiang Prefecture, dealing in cloth and grain, and also opening pawnshops and loan sharks.

The Xu family, the Xu family again!

Before Zhang Feng crossed, the second young master of the Xu family beat Zhang Feng on the street with a few family members because of a little conflict, Zhang Feng did not have a good impression of the Xu family, and now he listened to Zhang Yuanxiang again, and the Xu family will come to collect the house in a few days, and Zhang Feng will hate the Xu family.

Zhang Feng was a little puzzled, even if the Xu family took back this house, but after so many years of operation, his family can be regarded as a small family wealth, and he should still have the economic strength to buy such a house in Songjiang Mansion, and he will not want to go back to the countryside where birds don't.

When he said the doubts in his heart, Zhang Yuanxiang smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yuanxiang blamed himself and said: "Feng'er, it's all my fault, I saw that people opened a weaving workshop to make money, and I also got a weaving workshop, and all the money was smashed into this weaving workshop, not to mention, I also borrowed a loan shark, and the silver that I can use at present is no more than two hundred taels." ”

It's only two hundred taels, with such a little money, it is impossible to buy a house in Songjiang Mansion, so you can only go back to the countryside to buy a little thin field and live on this little property.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the budding capitalism has appeared, and weaving workshops have appeared in the economically developed and relatively wealthy Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and such weaving workshops have hundreds or even hundreds of looms on a large scale.

A few years ago, the weaving mill was a money-making thing, Zhang Yuanxiang also set up such a weaving workshop, invested a lot of money, bought a large piece of land, added dozens of looms, and made some money in the first two years, but then it went downhill.

Because of the war, because of the peasant uprising, there are fewer and fewer cloth merchants who come to Songjiang Mansion to buy goods, and there is a situation of oversupply.

"Damn war." Zhang Feng thought depressedly in his heart.
