Traveling is not as simple as imagined, and a lot of preparation is required, especially for the travels of the readers, in fact, such travels, there are few meanings of visiting the poor and asking the poor, and they are basically mutual exchanges between readers.

The exchange between readers, Zheng Xunrui will not object, this is like many academic exchanges in later generations, not to mention that you can learn a lot of knowledge, but at least you can understand the readers of this era, but Zheng Xunrui's focus is still to understand the situation of the people and farmers, and the later generations have a lot of discussions about the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it has been more than half a year, his scope of activities is very small, basically around Guli Town, as well as in Jiangning County, there are many things at home, to earn silver, and have experienced the county test and the government test, there is not much time left, and it is impossible to have a general understanding of the situation, this time I can spare about three months to travel around, it is a rare opportunity.

Since you are going to travel for nearly three months, you need to make adequate preparations, these preparations are not about how much money you need, etc., the key is to think about what you are going to do and what you need to know.

When Zheng Fugui learned that Zheng Xunrui was going to go out to travel, he said that he was going to go out to handle some things, and asked Zheng Xunrui to wait for him to go home before leaving.

Zheng Xunrui also thought about it, going out to travel is not so grand, and there is no need for too many people to follow, it is enough to have Zheng Jinhong by his side, as for Yang Tingshu to prepare to take a few people, it is not for him to decide, but he also proposed to build a group, a group of people traveling, the number of people is best controlled within five people, so that all the food and accommodation can be arranged.

The two agreed to leave at the end of September.

On September 25, Zheng Fugui, who had been away for five days, returned home.

To Zheng Xunrui's surprise, Zheng Fugui came back this time and brought back five Arabian horses.

The average height of the Arabian horse is one hundred and forty-five centimeters, famous for its beauty, bravery, perseverance and romance, its biggest characteristics are tame, docile, friendly, hard-working, fast-running, strong endurance, etc., after training as a war horse, when facing the opponent, it will not neigh, in order to reduce the opponent's vigilance, and the appearance on the battlefield is extremely brave, even if it is frightened when attacking, it will never retreat.

In the evaluation of many war horses in later generations, the Arabian horse ranked first in a comprehensive comparison, and was called the king of horses or the king of war horses.

There are not many Arab horses in the Ming Dynasty, on the one hand, the source is too small, mainly relying on coastal smuggling, and the cultivation of the interior is also stored zài, but because of the high cost, few farmers are willing to feed, the second aspect is that the price of Arabian horses is too high, a horse needs at least eighty taels of silver, relatively speaking, a southwest horse only needs thirty taels of silver, the price difference is too great, the general gentry and rich households, there are southwest horses, and some luxury are equipped with Mongolian horses, as for Arab horses, few people care.

It is the cheapest to buy an Arabian horse to the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, but it also requires at least seventy taels of silver, and as for Nanzhili, the price of an Arabian horse may be as high as one hundred taels of silver.

It only took Zheng Fugui five days to buy back five Arabian horses, which were undoubtedly traded in Nanjing, which also proves that the price is definitely not cheap. Of course, the purpose of buying an Arabian horse is also very clear, that is, for his trip, he can carry the horse out of the trip, it must be a lot more convenient.

What moved Zheng Xunrui even more was that Zheng Fugui learned that there were about five people who traveled this time, so he bought five Arabian horses.

When they came to the hall, Zheng Fugui and Ma were waiting, and it was only four days before Zheng Xunrui went out.

Zheng Xunrui saw the worried looks of his parents, after all, he was only fifteen years old, such an age to travel far away, this is a few hundred years later, the possibility is very small, any parent who loves his children, will prevent his children from such behavior, afraid that their children will encounter danger, but now he has an extraordinary position in the family, and he can make many decisions on his own.

Despite this, Zheng Xunrui also understands the hard work of his parents, and after more than half a year, he deeply feels his parents' care and love for him.

"Father, mother, and child will travel for less than three months, and they will not go too far, and they will not encounter danger, so please don't worry too much."

"A good man is ambitious, you should go out to travel, there is nothing at home, you don't have to worry too much, but after you go out, it's not as good as at home, only Zheng Jinhong takes care of you by your side, you must pay more attention to life......"

Before Zheng Fugui's words were finished, Ma's tears fell from the side of him, Zheng Xunrui was used to this situation.

"Qingyang, my mother shouldn't stop you from going out to travel, it's just that you are still young and don't know how to take care of yourself, my mother still thinks, can you take the lotus leaf with you, let the lotus leaf take care of your daily life and diet, so that your mother can rest assured."

This matter, Ma Shi has said a long time ago, but was politely rejected by Zheng Xunrui, going out to travel, must be prepared to endure hardships, this is also a kind of exercise for himself, and he also has a maid to serve, so that others can see it, how will it be discussed, and the lotus leaf is younger than himself, and he really took it out, and he doesn't know who takes care of whom.

Ma said this, Zheng Fugui did not refute it, and he also felt that it was inappropriate, but the lady's consideration made some sense.

"Father, mother, the child has long been determined, this time to travel, with Zheng Jinhong is enough, the lotus leaf still stays at home, and the lotus leaf is not very old, never went far away, may not be able to take care of the child, the child travels all over the world, the whereabouts are uncertain, the lotus leaf is not convenient to follow, especially in terms of accommodation, it is not easy to arrange, the child has just said, will not go too far, will not provoke right and wrong, the child knows the hardships of going out."

"My father has been running around for many years for the livelihood of the family, and the child is just going out to travel this time, which is nothing compared to my father's travel."

Ma wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"Qingyang, can you compare with your father, there is nothing lacking in the family now, there is no need for you to go out and run around, and the assets you have saved are also for the future ...... you and Kaihua."

"Lady don't have to worry too much, Qingyang said the same, when I go out to see, I always have to encounter the situation of sleeping in the open, I want to ...... when I went out"

Before Zheng Fugui's words were finished, Ma Shi glared fiercely, Zheng Fugui laughed twice and stopped talking.

"Qingyang, a thousand days at home, go out for a while, my mother is really worried, you have grown up, my mother can't stop you, but you must be careful, don't sleep in the open, find a good place to settle every day, don't be reluctant to spend money, take care of your body is the most important ......"

Listening to Ma's nagging, Zheng Xunrui didn't speak, in this case, he was touched, in his previous life, he was not the same, worried about the safety of the child, and did everything for the child, compared to today's parents, it is much more generous.

Half an hour passed, Zheng Fugui and Ma Shi said a lot of words, all of which told him what to pay attention to when he went out, especially Zheng Fugui, who had gone out many times and knew what difficulties he would encounter outside, so he said it in detail.

Zheng Fugui's reminder was very timely, and Zheng Xunrui understood that the travel in this era is not as good as traveling hundreds of years later, and it does require a lot of preparation.

One is the inconvenience of transportation, when you go out every day, you need to calculate the distance between the cities, calculate how many roads you can walk, at least you need to find the villages and towns near the official road to stay, living in the wild is absolutely impossible, in the middle of the night encountered other people's calculations, may be in the dark.

The second is the inconvenience of eating, Jiangning County and Shangyuan County are full of restaurants and inns, but there is no such convenience when going out, there are many barren places along the way, it is impossible to have food in these places, so it is necessary to prepare every day, the meal at noon is basically prepared early in the morning, and the time to eat a hot meal is basically in the afternoon.

The third is the physical aspect, which is also the most important, running along the way, a little carelessness may encounter wind and cold, if the body is unwell, you must find Lang Zhong to see a doctor, can not be hard, otherwise there will be a big problem.

Fourth, you must take the official road, and you must not take those country roads or take shortcuts because of saving time, and you may encounter any danger, if you really encounter such a situation, it will be troublesome.

Zheng Fugui's reminder bit by bit, so that Zheng Xunrui has a general understanding of the things that may be encountered when traveling, generally speaking, the south is better than the north, and the people are also very simple, there is basically no problem to stay in villages and towns, especially when people know that you are a scholar, and they are very respectful to you.

Of course, there are also some problems revealed between the lines, that is, there are also problems with the stability of the south, there may be situations such as bandits, and the lives of the people are still very difficult, so when you are on the official road, don't stay in a deserted place for a long time.

This made Zheng Xunrui's plan to visit the poor and ask for hardship basically come to naught, he was not stupid enough to gamble with his own life, no matter what he wanted to do, the first thing was to ensure his own safety, if he lost his life, everything would be in vain.
