Guo Jia lay on the railing on the edge of the pier trestle and vomited for a while, before standing up straight and feeling a little fluttering, but he still felt that the ground was a little shaky, and stabilized for a while, before he moved out of the dock with a shallow foot under the gaze of the people around him who were pointing and watching the excitement.

Guo Jia also regrets it now, I knew that I wouldn't be greedy for freshness to take a sea ship, at the beginning, I didn't feel good about pouring cold air on the deck, but after being dizzy and dizzy by the sea breeze, I couldn't do it, and this vomit was out of control, until I finally stepped on land again, Guo Jia was lying in the cabin.

found a hotel, Guo Jia slept in the dark for a whole day and a night, before he could be considered relieved and went to have a big meal, fortunately, Xi Zhicai sponsored a lot of travel expenses, otherwise Guo Jia could only work all the way and travel all the way.

After eating, Guo Jia recovered his vigorous state, and went around Tangshan City, Guo Jia felt the difference in this city, but it is very similar to Qinghekou Port, it is a city full of vitality, and, from the shops on the side of the street, the identity of the owner of the shop is very complicated, basically half alien and half aborigine, and those of the aborigines have any background, and even the existence of Yingchuan Xun and Jingxiang Huang can be seen.

What's even more rebellious is that a merchant inn painted with the symbol of the Taiping Sect actually stands on the side of the street, and there are really no merchants here! However, it cannot be denied that the business here is really developed, and there are many transportation lines and dart shops, is the security of Yuyang County so poor?

Wandered around for a day. Guo Jia decided to advance towards Miyun, on a square by the city gate. Guo Jia successfully found a caravan, which was a caravan of the Yingchuan Xun clan, which was half of Guo Jia's fellow countrymen.

"Shopkeeper Xun, haven't you already negotiated the dart line, why don't you set off yet?"

"Hehe, Guo Gongzi, you don't know, it's not peaceful all the way from here to Miyun, so. If everyone wants to get together and set off, they must gather at least two or three thousand guards. ”

Guo Jia showed an expression that was really like this: "It turns out that the security in Yuyang County is so poor1

"Hehe" The gray-bearded shopkeeper Xun didn't make a sound, just smiled, this matter can't be explained clearly, and when the time comes, you can understand it with your own eyes. (the most stable,

Guo Jia looked at the shopkeeper Xun with some doubts, and did not continue to ask, but changed the topic: "Shopkeeper Xun." The Yingyin Xun clan is famous, but you are a member of the Yingyin Xun clan? ”

"Exactly! My son-in-law is the youngest son of the second room. ”

"The second room is Xun Guoxiang's room?" The Xun Guoxiang mentioned by Guo Jia refers to Xun Qi, who once served as the minister of Jinan, that is, Xun Yu's father.

"Exactly, isn't Childe an old acquaintance?"

"Hehe, it's an old acquaintance, I have several relationships with your third son. When your little son was studying in Yangzhai, he had a few days of friendship with classmates. ”

"That's really a coincidence, the son is now in Yuyang, the little boy must be very happy to know it, why don't I write to inform the son now?"

"Don't do that. I'm going to surprise him, but. When did your little boy arrive in Miyun City? Could it be that the whole family migrated? ”

"Exactly! It's only been a few months since my little son arrived in Miyun. ”

Guo Jia was puzzled again, since the security environment here is so poor, how could Xun Yu move his family to Miyun? And they started to do business, which is really strange!

"Are you doing business abroad to supplement your family? Isn't there any land to cultivate in Miyun? ”

"Hehe, Gongzi misunderstood, the land is naturally available, but Miyun does not allow large-scale purchase of land, and can only be purchased according to the limited population, so it is not possible to accumulate wealth on a large scale by farming, so we use the relationship with the Yingchuan clan to operate the trade route to Yingchuan, and it is also a way to get rich by trafficking the specialties of the two places."

Guo Jia suddenly understood Miyun's intention to restrict the purchase of a large amount of land, which was to prevent the creation of a huge clan power!

"It's surprising that your son-in-law has changed careers to business, but Wen Ruo is so smart, he must be able to excel in business, just go and ask for some travel expenses! Huh"

"Childe misunderstood again, my little son-in-law did not have a business, but was in Miyun for the official 1 Xun Lao Shopkeeper said proudly.

This time Guo Jia was shocked again, Xun Yu actually came out!? This Xun Yu, who was called Wang Zuozhicai by He Hao, a famous man in Nanyang, actually came out in the border city of Miyun? Is it just a stopgap measure?

"Oh, then what position does your son-in-law hold in Miyun?"

The old shopkeeper Xun stroked his beard, and said proudly: "The third son of my family is in Yuyang, and the little son is in Miyun, and Ren Taishou Mansion is engaged in 1

"Taishoufu engaged?"

"Yes, it's the first person in charge of civil service1

Guo Jia looked at the proud look of the old shopkeeper Xun, and couldn't help but turn up the monstrous waves in his heart, as if he had returned to the days at sea, and he actually felt a little dizzy and vomiting.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?" The shopkeeper of Xun Lao suddenly found that Guo Jia's face was pale and sweat was sweating on his forehead, and he couldn't help but ask in shock.

"It's okay, this is a boat for me to sit out, just find a place for me to rest."

The old shopkeeper Xun breathed a sigh of relief, helped Guo Jia to the carriage he was riding, and said while helping Guo Jia into the carriage: "Hehe, the old man, I took the boat for the first time and was like this, I was dizzy for two days when I went ashore, it's okay, just rest, I'll let someone buy you some ginger tea." ”

When Guo Jia woke up from sleep in the carriage, the carriage was already on the road, and there was the sound of clattering horses' hooves and wheels in his ears, Guo Jia lifted the curtain on the window and looked out, outside was the continuous mountains, the mountains were full of green pines and cypresses, and withered yellow weeds, and occasionally there was a cry of an unknown animal, which looked very desolate.

The old shopkeeper Xun who was riding a horse on the side seemed to be very concerned about this little boy's classmate, and when he saw Guo Jia wake up, he immediately turned his face with a smile: "The son's body can be seen?" ”

"It's much better, thank you old shopkeeper, I'm ashamed to occupy your frame1

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, I'm also a backup, don't look at my age, but I still like the feeling of galloping on a horse, so that I feel that I am not old and can still work1

"The old shopkeeper is old and strong1

Guo Jia sighed, in comparison, his body seems to be a little worse, he has not recovered after two days of dizziness on a boat, and when he heard that Xun Yu was already in a high position at a young age, he was so excited that he actually fell, it was really embarrassing!

Just as Guo Jia wanted to open his mouth to ask Xun Lao's shopkeeper about Xun Yu's situation, a low horn suddenly sounded, and the guards around him suddenly looked in the direction where the horn sounded, and Guo Jia couldn't help but stretch out his head to look ahead.

"There are a large number of wild monsters in front, everyone steps forward as a team to converge, fast 1

After a while, the guards who were originally walking around the caravan were almost gone, only a few remained on guard, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the long line in front was covered by the dust raised, Guo Jia quickly retracted his head to hide from the ashes.

"Old shopkeeper, what's the matter?"

The old shopkeeper didn't seem to be worried about this situation at all, squinted his eyes and pulled up the silk scarf around his neck, covering his mouth and nose to block the sand and dust coming in his face.

"Can't you slow down, these boys, make such a big deal of dust! It's okay, Childe, it's just that there are some wild monsters, and they're all busy hunting? ”

"Hunting?"

"That's right, these wild monsters are coming for the caravan, the larger the caravan wild monsters, which is also related to the scarcity of Yuyang County, and the people of these dart shops and transport houses will hunt these wild monsters to get the equipment and things they drop to sell, so we don't have to pay for hiring these dart shops, on the contrary, they have to work hard to get along with us."

Guo Jia felt a little dizzy again, since he stepped on Yuyang, Guo Jia's old concept has been constantly subverted, Guo Jia even felt that he had arrived in another world, and the head that he used to think was very useful seemed to be a little difficult to pinch?

The dart shop doesn't have to pay for it, but asks for the caravan bodyguard, what's going on?

In fact, this matter was not deliberately done by Fang Zhiwen, this was definitely an accident, at the beginning, this situation was only discovered by the caravan of merchants on the vast territory of the Miyun series, initially, these caravans were all with their own escort troops, and even many of the escort troops were Fang Zhiwen's army, because at the beginning, the caravan was Zhen Jia and Li Xueyin's.

Later, Fang Zhi gradually discovered that the larger the caravan, the larger the group of wild monsters, and the harvest after the escort team killed the wild monsters was actually quite good, not only could there be food, weapons, etc., sometimes there would be non-stupid tools, and even burst out all kinds of medicinal materials and strange life professional props, so the drudgery of the guards became a money-making errand.

Then, Fang Zhiwen's troops gradually became professional, and gradually withdrew from this industry, so some veterans and wounded soldiers spontaneously began to form a dart shop, and later there were clans and generals' families who took a fancy to this business, so this kind of free dart game began to rise.

The old shopkeeper Xun told Guo Jia that he had also heard the old news as news, and Guo Jia quickly understood the cause and effect of this matter, but Guo Jia immediately thought of a question.

"Old shopkeeper, if there is a strong backstage for this matter, it can be done monopolized, and even the official business travel can be charged, why doesn't anyone do it?"

"Hehe, I asked my little boy this question, and the little boy said that this thing can't be done, because there are many channels to report this situation to the officials of various cities, or even directly to Lord Fang, and then he will be severely punished?"

"Severe punishment? Kill the head? ”

"Of course not, Fengning County rarely has such a severe punishment."

"Oh? How can this kind of thing be curbed without severe punishment? ”
