The departure was imminent, and Chen Yitong finally made a request, that is, to follow Wu Fanhui to Nanjing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Yitong married Wu Fanhui, and his responsibility is to be filial to his parents at home, care for other family members, and become the head of the family, but Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui are not very old, they are less than forty years old, and their health is also very good, so Chen Yitong stayed at home, with symbolic meaning, and from the actual situation, he can also follow Wu Fanhui to Nanjing.

However, Chen Yitong took the initiative to bring it up, no matter how it is said, it is inappropriate, unless Wu Fanhui is willing, otherwise Chen Yitong also needs to stay at home, because after more than three months with Wu Fanhui, Chen Yitong's inner anxiety has long disappeared without a trace, and the little girl's mood gradually recovered, after all, she is only sixteen years old, and she is unwilling to stay alone in Mizhi County, and she always wants to follow Wu Fanhui's side, and Nanjing is the capital of China, which is extremely prosperous, and Chen Yitong also wants to see it.

Chen Yitong's emotional recovery is entirely because from Wu Fanhui's body, she feels respect and easy-going, during the period of living at home, she has no restrained feelings, and the relationship with Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang is very good, Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei are very well-behaved, Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui treat her as a daughter, in comparison, there are not many rules when they are in their own home, which naturally makes Chen Yitong adapt, and even has a sense of relief.

Chen Yitong took the initiative to make a request, which surprised Wu Fanhui a little, but he did not hesitate and agreed.

Wu Fanhui's idea is different, what is Nanjing, the famous Qinhuai River is there, it is said that the scholars who go to Nanjing want to go to the Qinhuai River to see it, otherwise they will not be counted as having been to Nanjing, Chen Yitong must have this kind of worry, so he wants to follow to Nanjing.

There are already a lot of girls around Wu Fanhui, in addition to Mrs. Chen Yitong, there are also Li Jiacui and Cuihuan, these two girls are already fifteen years old, and the possibility of marrying out is almost none.

If you want to marry Li Jiacui and Cuihuan, in terms of form, as long as Chen Yitong as a wife agrees, there will be no problem.

Men need to have women in charge, if Chen Yitong doesn't follow him to Nanjing, to such a world of flowers, Wu Fanhui doesn't know what he will do.

Men and women must have different ideas, and for this reason, Wu Fanhui agreed to Chen Yitong's request.

Accompanying the people who went to Nanjing, Li Yong and others took great pains.

The number of Wu family nursing homes has reached the scale of 1,000 people, and the number of Mizhi County militia groups formed has also reached 1,000 people, with a total of 2,000 people, all of whom are directly managed by Ma'anshan Village, in the final analysis, it is still the Wu family's nursing home, and the expenses have indeed increased a lot, but the income has also increased significantly, and the cultivated land directly managed by Ma'anshan Village has reached tens of thousands of acres, and the amount of grain harvested on the cultivated land is still considerable, and Wu Mianqing, the patriarch of the Wu family, has given Ma'anshan Village a number of shops through various methods. Including the shops in Mizhi County and Yan'an Prefecture, and the shops directly managed by the village, the scale of Jingying is very good, and there is a lot of silver that can be earned every year.

Wu Fanhui went to Nanjing to take up his post, according to Li Yong's meaning, the number of people who followed the nursing home can not be too much, the total number of people is controlled within fifty people, although Nanjing and the capital are very different, but the strength of Jinyiwei and Dongchang can not be underestimated, if the number of nursing homes is too much, not to mention the cost, it will also ask for trouble.

Li Yong finally determined the number of 40 people, led by Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, Wang Baofu, Chen Weinian, Ma Sanli, Ma Qiangui, Ma Qianmu and others all followed, he himself stayed in Ma'anshan Village, and Dai Nengxiang, Liu Fangheng and others jointly managed Ma'anshan Village, so that the strength of Ma'anshan Village continued to grow.

Chen Daiming is still a housekeeper, and he has set off for Nanjing Mansion in advance, trying to buy a mansion, and making all the arrangements in advance.

Wu Fanhui finally decided to enter Henan from Tongguan, enter Nanzhili from Henan, and finally arrive in Nanjing, the distance is close to 3,000 miles, nearly 400 miles more than the previous route, this is also a matter of no choice, after all, the rogues in Shanxi are too fierce, and Wu Fanhui and his party are in the team, there are also female dependents, so they have to be careful.

Those who followed Wu Fanhui to Nanjing Fucheng were the most elite Wu family's guardians, almost one of them were hundreds, and when they met bandits along the way, they could easily defeat or even exterminate them, but when they met large-scale rogues, they would definitely be fine.

On 25 March, Wu Fanhui set out, and he planned to arrive at the city of Nanjing at the end of April, which would take nearly 40 days and nearly 3,000 miles, and the problem was still not big.

Wu Fanhui went to Nanjing Fucheng this time, carrying two thousand taels of gold, which is enough for everyone to spend in Nanjing for many years, and Wu Fanhui understands that he is the priest of Nanjing Guozi, but he does not completely rely on Yulu to live, and there are some other aspects of income, and the amount is also a lot.

After setting off from Mizhi County, Wu Fanhui felt Chen Yitong's liveliness.

Chen Yitong is on the road is two things, the first thing is to read a book on the carriage, the second thing, is to follow Wu Fanhui's side, Chen Yitong can ride a horse, in Mizhi County for a few months, she often goes to Ma'anshan Village, and after arriving in the village, she has to ride a horse, Li Yong and others took great pains to choose the most docile war horse among nearly 700 war horses, they dare not let Chen Yitong fall, they can't afford that kind of responsibility.

Chen Yitong is very curious about everything, and he is also very pitiful to the homeless people he sees along the way, and often gives some food to the homeless, although Wu Fanhui does not care about Chen Yitong's practices, just relying on such charity, it is impossible to solve the problem of the homeless, but he is also happy for Chen Yitong's kindness.

The speed of travel along the road is not very fast, but every day is more than 100 miles, Ma Jigang is responsible for following the team, and Sun Kailin is taking a few guards to reconnoiter in front to ensure the safety of the team.

When passing through Tongguan and entering Henan, Wu Fanhui carefully observed this well-known pass at home and abroad.

The situation in Henan is not very good, just slightly stronger than Shaanxi, but after entering the south of Zhili, it feels a little different, not only the climate changes, the climate in the south is obviously wetter than the north, not so dry, and you can see a lot of paddy fields along the way, the bigger difference is the life of ordinary people, it is indeed better than the north, from the comparison of villages and towns on both sides of the official road, you can see all this.

The output of cultivated land and grain in the south is about twice that of the north, although the people here are also very exploited and exploited, but there are indeed very few people in the south who rebel, and the people are barely able to survive, which is different from the situation in the north.

However, Wu Fanhui was not so optimistic, and after entering Nanzhili, his observation was more careful.

The common people can indeed barely survive, but as long as you look carefully, you can find that there is no smile on the faces of the people, almost all of them are numb, which is obviously a sign of being overwhelmed by life, many villages and towns on both sides of the official road, the houses of the Zhuang family, most of them are covered with thatch, the houses of blue bricks and red tiles can also be seen, and the huge courtyards can also be seen, but there is no need to guess that those houses must belong to the gentry and wealthy families.

The scholar family of Nanzhili abounds, after all, there are many scholars here, Wu Fanhui remembers that he had read the information before crossing over, showing that half of the scholars who were officials in the Ming imperial examination were from Nanzhili, which also led to a large number of scholars in Nanzhili, and many villages and towns had scholar families.

This is also incomparable to the North.

Nanzhili is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, and it is true on the surface, but as long as you go deep into it, you can find that the people here are also very hard.

This can't help but make Wu Fanhui think of one thing, flourishing in the south of the Donglin Party and the Fushe and so on, the most clear political proposition is to hide the wealth from the people, the imperial court can not increase the burden of the people, they resolutely oppose the levy of trade taxes, that the imperial court can not abandon the basics, but they are in favor of increasing the taxes of the peasants, people who are familiar with history know that the Donglin Party is mainly composed of scholars and merchants, it is precisely because they spare no effort to safeguard the interests of their own class, resulting in the Ming Dynasty can not collect trade taxesIn response to the tax crisis, it can only increase the burden on the people.

This is probably one of the root causes of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that until the complete collapse of the feudal dynasty, it was not able to solve the problem of trade and taxation, and the Qing Empire after that, it was to prevent the development of the commercial economy to the greatest extent, and let the Chinese Empire, which stood at the top of the world, gradually degenerate and fell to the point of poverty and weakness.

Wu Fanhui, who has crossed over, understands the truth here, but if he wants to change this status quo, he still has too many things to do, and too many dangers to over.

Now that we have crossed over, we need to change history, and we must try to avoid the situation that will happen hundreds of years later.
