Ziren heard that the person who came was a servant and had wealth, and he was quite reluctant to say goodbye to him before. www.biquge.info Seeing that he rushed back to see him off, he hurriedly pressed the horse and turned around to check.

I saw Youcai dressed in military uniform, running all the way. In a blink of an eye, he came to Ziren's side, and said to Ziren breathlessly: "Young master, you have been thinking about it carefully these days, and I feel that the young master is young and promising, both civil and military. This is especially like a dragon entering the sea, letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. Youcai has been with you for the past ten years, and seeing that the young master is about to accomplish something, how can he leave at this time? I also hope that the young master will not be disgusted, and bring the wealth with him. ”

Ziren was very happy to see that he had money and gave up the family business he had and was willing to go to Liaodong together. But when I thought about it carefully, how could a wealth full of vernacular on weekdays suddenly become a chapter. And after a closer inspection, I saw that the armor and blades worn by Youcai were of the highest quality, and they were by no means temporary preparations.

I couldn't help but be suspicious in my heart, so I called him to my side and whispered: "You have money and tell the young master honestly, is it my father who promised you any benefits." Don't look at my father's five big and three coarse, in fact, the small abacus in my heart is very good. Say it and let the young master help you consult, so that you don't suffer. ”

After hearing this, Youcai hurriedly replied: "The master said, as long as I accompany the young master to Liaodong, I will keep the young master safe and sound, and give Youcai ten acres of fertile land every year." If you have the money to persuade the young master to change his mind and return to Jiangnan, give me the dart game. ”

After hearing this, a smile flashed on Ziren's face.

Ding Youcai's face changed greatly when he saw this scene, and he knew that he had fallen for Ziren, and said disappointedly: "Young Master really can't hide anything from your eyes, but how do you see it?" It's a good thing to memorize this word for a night!"

Ding Ziren said to him with a smile: "If you have money, you can rest assured, my father promised to give you benefits, this young master will not lose any of you, if you perform well on this trip, I will also have another reward." There is also the word called "like a tiger with wings", not "let the tiger return to the mountain". You have to read more books in the future, and the chief butler in my house can't be full of vernacular, so as not to make people laugh in the future. ”

Ding Youcai saw that Ziren had no intention of driving him back, and allowed him the position of housekeeper. Immediately, with a smile on his face, he set off with Ziren and rushed to Liaodong.

It is not easy to travel nearly 2,000 kilometers from Wucheng County to Liaodong within the year. Ziren and his entourage prepared to go north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Jining Prefecture (now Jining, Shandong), and then continue by land to Jinan Mansion, where the Yamen of the Shandong Buzheng Department was located. After that, he took the northeast to Dengzhou Mansion (now Yantai, Shandong) and took a sea boat to Lushunkou. Landing at Lushunkou, then take Liaodong Station, pass through Fuzhou Station, Gaizhou Station, Yaozhou Station, Haizhou Station, Anshan Station, and arrive at the final destination, Liaoyang (the location of the Liaodong Metropolitan Command Division).

Ziren is famous as a person, and he doesn't need a guide on the road. In addition, with the order of the Nanjing Military Department, a boat was rented smoothly, and the journey was smooth.

One day, everyone was watching the scenery along the way from the bow of the boat, and Youcai suddenly smiled and said: "Young master, Youcai, I have been watching "Journey to the West" for the past few days, and I think that the four of us are quite similar to Tang monks and apprentices. The young master is like a master Tang Seng, who is rich and follows you as a senior brother at the earliest. Ding Bi, Shoutie, which of you will be the second senior brother and the third senior brother? After speaking, he looked at Ding Bi and Shoutie with bad intentions.

Ding Bi served in the army on weekdays, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Ding Youtie heard "Journey to the West" a few times in Mr. Storyteller, and hurriedly retorted: "Even your triangular cat kung fu dares to compare yourself to Sun Wukong, I think you are very similar to that lazy, timid and afraid Zhu Bajie." Master, do you say yes? After speaking, he turned his gaze to Ziren with a smile.

These days, there is nothing to do on the ship, and Richie and Shoutie often quarrel together. Ziren was not surprised, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if any of you are the senior brother or the second senior brother." But if I go to the daughter country, the king must not stop me if he wants to rob me, otherwise he will blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. After saying that, he made an angry expression.

Hearing that Ziren was joking with everyone, Youcai and Shoutie laughed loudly. Ding Bi didn't know the essentials, and looked at the two of them blankly. Along the way, there was talk and laughter in the past, and the days were pleasant.

After about a month and a half, Ziren and his entourage finally came to Jinan Mansion. After a short stop in Jinan Prefecture, he purchased some gunpowder, cotton clothes and other materials needed in the future. After that, we went to Dengzhou and prepared to go to Fushun by sea.

Coincidentally, just in time to arrive in Dengzhou, there was a "sand boat" transporting prisoners and supplies for the army, which was about to leave for Fushunkou tomorrow. The sand boat is a kind of flat-bottomed sailing boat, which is called "sand boat" because it is not easy to run aground in the sand. There are often rolling waves in the Beiyang (now Beihai), and pointed-bottomed ships such as Fu Ship and Cangshan Boat are prone to capsizing, so most of the ships sailing in Beiyang are of this type. Seeing this scene, Ziren spent some silver taels and rented a cabin on the ship. Ziren had the order of the military department and acted generously, and the local civil and military officials did not embarrass him when they got the benefits.

The next day, at noon, Zhu Ren and his entourage rushed to the dock. It was found that the chief flag officer of the ship was directing the prisoners to carry supplies to the ship, which seemed to be the military rations delivered to Liaodong Town. Seeing this, Ziren stepped forward with a smile on his face, first handed five taels of silver to the chief flag officer, and then talked with him. This was done so that there would be a response on board later. Second, he brought a lot of luggage with him when he went out this time, and I wanted to ask him to borrow a few prisoners to carry them on the boat together.

After the chief flag officer accepted the silver with a smile, he immediately called three prisoners to help Ziren and his party carry their luggage. At the same time, I also helped him find a spacious cabin. After everyone put their luggage in place, they saw that several prisoners were doing their work quite quickly, and Ziren gave each of them 20 copper coins and a few steamed buns to express their gratitude.

Due to the large carrying capacity of sand boats (2,000 to 3,000 stones), and the work of prisoners is mostly dragged and pulled, resulting in a huge amount of time for loading. It was not until late afternoon that the sail was set sail. Ziren and his entourage were inconvenient to leave because their luggage was carried into the cabin, so they rested in the cabin all afternoon.

In the evening, when I had money and was bored, I talked to my young master: "Young master, it's not me who said, you are too generous along the way." The big and small officials didn't count them one by one, and even the coolies were rewarded with some money and goods. Although the master gave a lot of entanglements, he couldn't be so bad. ”

Ziren knew that he was not angry when he had a rich character, and said calmly: "You are too short-sighted, there is no political secretary in Liaodong Town, and most of the money and grain are allocated by this Shandong political secretary." Spend more money today to make a good impression on all parties in case you need it in the future. Those prisoners seemed to be good people, and for some reason they were sent to Liaodong. They put a lot of effort into helping us carry our luggage just now, and they deserve a few pennies and steamed buns. ”

Before Ziren finished speaking, he heard the sound of a fight coming from the closed cabin. Hurriedly got up and took Qi Dao and went out of the cabin with Ding Bi to check, leaving Youcai and Shoutie to take care of the luggage.
