Chapter 484: Please Look
Others scoffed at this: "What's the point of those skinny horses, making a flattering appearance, but actually don't understand anything." β
"You don't like it, there are a lot of people who like it, so Tian Xun is good for this."
The salt merchants talked and laughed freely, but they didn't expect that what they said would soon be sent to Zhao Jin's side, whether it was the guys who passed by in a hurry, or the family members who came to guide the way, they were all eyes and ears.
"Everyone has breakfast, please go to the school with the little ones first." Someone said politely.
This made the salt merchants very puzzled, what school field to go to talk about things, and what school field to talk about a small Zhuangzi?
The conversation in the inn was quickly reported to Zhao Jin's side, and at this time, Zhao Jin and his companions were in the house and had already finished breakfast.
What is different from usual is that except for Ruhui who is wearing a long robe, everyone else is wearing armor, even Wang Zhaojing. After Zhao Jin and Xu Zhenzhen got married, the Xu family already had dozens of skilled blacksmiths over, with these craftsmen, most of the equipment could be properly repaired, and then the kind of armor designed by Zhao Jin also began to be manufactured in batches, and there are currently more than 100 sets.
"Everyone is afraid of the drought, and they are worried about a catastrophe if it doesn't rain for a few days." Liu Yong said first.
Wang Zhaojing groaned and said: "Big brother, it's not just this group of salt merchants who say that there is news coming back from everywhere, Shandong is afraid that there will be a big drought again this year, and if there is a large number of displaced people going south, it will be a big trouble like last year." β
"If you come, you will also give us people, last year when there were a few hundred people in the Zhao Zi camp, we could kill them, and this year, we don't have to worry about this strength, and without the encouragement of the Xiangxiang Sect, the displaced people are a mess of scattered sand, and nothing can be done." Zhao Jin analyzed.
For Zhao Jin's statement, everyone agrees, the displaced people are a plate of scattered sand, and hunger is unbearable, no one organizes and instigates, nothing can be done, that time without the help of the Xiangxiang Sect, most of the people will be scattered in Shandong, not to mention the road to the south, if there is no food provided along the way, it will starve to death and collapse on the way, if there is no large number of ships on the north bank of the Yellow River, they will not be able to reach the south bank.
At that time, the Wenxiang Sect did so much, but the displaced people were displaced people after all, and they were vulnerable in front of Zhao Ziying, and now the strength of Zhao Ziying has increased several times, but the Wenxiang Sect may not be able to organize several times more displaced people than last year.
"It's still the same old saying, we can't relax, everything follows the rules, we can't relax for a moment, and the homeless people are not worth worrying about!" Zhao Jin said in a clichΓ©.
There were family members who didn't live outside to report that Zhao Ziying was preparing everywhere, Liu Yong also walked in outside, and said with a wry smile: "It's good to say that these salt merchants have brought servants and entourage, and these stewards are also subordinates, and they have brought so many waiters, all of whom are guests, and it is not easy to use the family to stare directly, the internal guard is almost unable to see it, but fortunately, I will leave tomorrow." β
While he was talking here, Ji Xiang suddenly said with contempt there: "This group of salt merchants is so rich, but they don't do anything serious at all, in our days, all they talk about is eating, drinking and having fun, and they don't talk about business for a few words, I really don't know how to make money." β
Wang Zhaojing shook his head with a smile and said: "These salt merchants who came to Hejiazhuang are already diligent and fast-running, these salt merchants rely on the situation of their ancestors to make a fortune, and they have a large amount of silver in their accounts when they stay at home, just enjoy it every day, why bother." β
Hearing this, Ji Xiang said hatefully: "Big brother led us to fight for life and death, so that we can live a good life now, and this group of people is so rich by reincarnation." β
Wang Zhaojing smiled without an interface, Zhao Jin glanced at Ji Xiang, and Ji Xiang immediately stopped talking.
The situation of Zhao Ziying is getting bigger and bigger, everyone's temperament has also changed a little, others can still calm down, Ji Xiang is more and more yearning for wealth and prosperity, but Hejiazhuang is now a big military camp, there is no enjoyment at all, these days the salt merchants came, and there were a lot of things to talk about every day, wealth and prosperity, but they provoked this Ji Xiang's thoughts.
Those hateful words just now were not so much contempt, but envy and jealousy, whether it was to tell Ji Xiang about family affairs, so that his heart could be stable, a thought flashed in Zhao Jin's mind.
When the sun came out, everything was prepared on Zhao Ziying's side, and someone over there invited the salt merchants and stewards out of the inn, while the entourage was locked up in the cart shop.
The big car shop came out and walked more than 100 steps is the empty field of Zhao Ziying training, there are many fields over there have been changed into training grounds, gravel and fine sand mixed with ash and slag, there are open ditches and culverts for drainage around, regularly leveled, regularly dragged by large animals with heavy stone grinders to press over, it looks smooth and abnormal.
When this school field was first made, those neighboring villagers and merchants who came here to do business talked a lot in private, saying that Zhao Jin was a loser, and such a good field was so level, and it was so heavy, but it was good, and even grass could not grow in the vacant land, and it was estimated that there would be no way to use it as a field in the future.
However, the benefits of training, others don't know the way, and of course Zhao Ziying will not explain it to others.
Zhao Jin and his partners were already standing on the wooden platform, and Ruhui in a long robe greeted the guests with a smile below, and invited all the salt merchants and stewards to the wooden platform.
"What is this for? Do you want to talk about it in this popular place? "Someone made an inappropriate joke, but no one wanted to pay attention to it.
Under the morning sun, the armor of Zhao Jin and the others shone in the sunlight, as if everyone was shining, the whole person was shining golden, tall and mighty, and it looked like there was a terrifying might.
Staying up all day long, experiencing life and death struggles, training and leading the team every day, and every move with a fierce and awe-inspiring atmosphere, this temperament is often misunderstood as murderous.
Those salt merchants and stewards have enjoyed wealth for many years, making money and making fortune is easier than ordinary people, and they haven't even worked hard, and they have seen this there, and they have gone up to the wooden platform one by one, and they don't dare to look at each other at all, they are all looking at each other with wandering eyes, looking straight away.
This look moved to other places, and saw the far end of the empty field below, a small square team was neatly arranged, guns and flags were like a forest, and even the horse team on the side was almost neat, at first glance, it felt fresh and good-looking, and after a few more glances, I felt that there was something piercing the eyes, and I saw that the bottom of my heart was cold, obviously I was wearing a thick body, and the sun was good, and it was very hot on my body, and suddenly I was cold.
"Did you have a good rest yesterday?" Wang Zhaojing asked gently.
This question was ordinary, but it made those uncomfortable Yangzhou salt merchants all excited, and hurriedly bowed down and replied with a smile, "The hospitality is good", "But it is more comfortable than resting at home", complaining that there is no trace of anything, and the attitude is much more humble than usual.
Wang Zhaojing said with a smile: "Today, I caught up with the Zhao Ziying school review, just invite everyone to watch together, the rural regiment is brave and strong, and I hope you don't have to laugh." β
This side is fake and polite, and there is only a promise, Wang Zhaojing turned around and stood still on the right side behind Zhao Jin.
"It's nothing more than a long snake formation or something, and then it's a sell-style martial arts, and there's less to watch?" Someone muttered and said, but was poked hard by the people around him, and immediately shut up.
The officers and soldiers are also regular school parade horses, people who like fresh and lively have seen a lot in the past, once or twice OK, and they will get tired of seeing more, these salt merchants are rich and idlers, this kind of excitement has long been over, there is no freshness, in their hearts, this Zhao Ziying is just a regimental training in the countryside of Xuzhou, compared to other places, it is nothing more than relying on brute courage, the school review must be chaotic, what can be good.
Thinking about it, naturally it won't be announced, and everyone is still thinking about how to praise it later, anyway, it's right to say good things.
Zhao Jin raised his arm and waved it down, and someone blew the suona, and the voice was short and sharp.
This sound began to frighten the Yangzhou salt merchants, and when they saw that it was the sound of suona, they were stunned at first, and then they were unbearable, thinking that this is really a trick in the countryside, and the suona that only has this wedding and funeral is used, and then I don't know how funny it will be, it must be a monkey show.
Now everyone is looking forward to it, and the next thing will definitely be seen is rustic and ridiculous, and after returning to Yangzhou, we will make a conversation after dinner.
The sound of the drum sounded, and the sound was not loud, unlike the officers and soldiers who were in the middle of the parade, and dozens of big drums were beaten at the same time, and then the officers and soldiers rushed over with shouts, putting on all kinds of beautiful formations, but now the drum sounded in the distance, and the rhythm was very monotonous, and it was not even clear if you didn't listen to it.
Some people want to laugh and have a look of watching a good show, while others are curious and want to beat the drum over there.
At the other end of the school yard, the solemn procession began to move, and they marched around the edge of the square school yard towards the wooden platform, the first one holding a large flag, behind them a large man in armor to guard, and then to the back a team of 100 people, each team twenty paces apart, following in the first order.
There is no expected fancy formation, and the drum sound is still monotonous, and there is no effect of knocking out any sound like thunder and blood boiling, some people pouted and felt that it was really boring, and some people had already smiled.
Zhao Jin and the others in armor on the wooden platform were all facing the front solemnly at this time, and everyone in Yangzhou salt merchants felt that they were in trouble, but they were young but put on an adult appearance.
The Zhaozi banner with red edges on a black background was already close to the wooden platform, the person in charge of the flag was tall, but the guard behind him was even taller, and both of them were wearing the kind of armor designed by Zhao Jin, which was even more powerful.
Naturally, it was Lu Da who was in charge of the flag, seeing the person behind Lu Da, Zhao Jin and the others had a smile on their faces, that person was Sun Dalei's younger brother Sun Dalin, a few months have passed, Sun Dalin's flesh has become much stronger, and he has also seen the results of training in his gestures, he is tall and mighty, just used as a guard.
When passing by the wooden platform, Lu Da shook the big flag in his hand, so that the whole flag unfurled.
"I thought I was going to turn the flagpole, thinking about how to turn it so long" Until now, everyone is not so nervous, some people joked, everyone squeezed their eyebrows, this rural place is really this bit of goods.
