At this time, Zhu Di's brain was confused.

Over here...... Not within the jurisdiction of Qixia Ferry?

Or Shangyuan County?

However, after thinking about it carefully, it also makes sense, Zhu Di only let Zhang Anshi Town Qixia Ferry, and the scope of his jurisdiction is actually the ferry plus the land near Shenjiazhuang.

This place looks like it is across a small stream from Qixia Ferry, but in fact...... There is a huge difference between them.

Zhu Di didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

Immediately, he became furious, turned around and said, "Who said that this place is Qixia Ferry?" ”

The guard, who had moved a foot away, trembled with fright, but when asked at this time, he didn't dare to hide anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Humble ...... Humble...... Ten thousand deaths, this ...... This place used to be called Qixia Ferry, which is inappropriate and inferior, so I beg you...... I beg ......"

Zhu Di didn't have anything to say for a while.

If this guy is at his feet, I'm afraid he'll have to kick him.

But at this time, he could only scold him: "Enter your mother!" ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to Huang Renyi, who was half dead on the ground, and didn't bother to pay attention to the servants who were still begging for mercy, and the dead dog on the ground.

He simply asked someone to lead the horse, turned over the horse directly, and said: "Cross the stream!" ”

With an order, everyone hurriedly got on the horse and galloped away with Zhu Di.

After crossing the stream, at a glance, the scene here seems to be a little different from the previous village.

Of course, Zhu Di couldn't say what the difference was for a while.

His face was red from the cold, and he didn't drink the porridge just now, but he was hungry, and he saw that there was a market at the ferry in front of him, and he immediately brought people in.

It has long been lined with shops, but the market, which used to be the size of a palm, is now even more crowded, and there are many new shops that seem to be being built nearby.

The muddy road was covered with snow, but it was quickly trampled on again.

Boatloads of stone were brought from the wharf, and many laborers dug ditches or laid stones along the streets.

Zhu Di saw that it was dirty and noisy, and frowned slightly.

However, Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "The inn there, the poor monks are familiar with each other, the taste of the food is good, and the taste of the roast duck is also excellent, so you might as well ...... The head of the house went there to sit there for a while and fill his stomach first. ”

Zhu Di listened, dismounted, handed the horse to the guards behind, and then walked to the shop.

However, because it was noon, it was very lively, and there were so many people coming in and out that many diners had to stand on the side and wait for others to finish eating.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was greatly surprised, looked back at Yao Guangxiao, and couldn't help but say: "The business here is even better than in Nanjing!" ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Yes, the poor monk is also very incomprehensible. ”

After waiting for a long time, there was an empty seat, but the empty seat was empty, and there was a man sitting opposite, although it was a cold day, but this man seemed to feel hot, and untied his shirt a little, revealing half of his dark chest.

The man ate very simply, just a dish, with three bowls of rice, and this man had a great appetite, so he ate a bowl of rice.

So much so that Zhu Di sat opposite him and watched, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

This man ate three bowls in a row, and the dishes were all gone, and there was still a little residual soup on the plate, and he was reluctant to leave it, so he directly picked it up and dripped it into his mouth.

After eating, there seemed to be a few partners with him on the nearby table, all of whom stood up together, and shouted: "Zhao San, let's go, go to work." ”

This man named Zhao San touched his belly, but said in a rough voice: "Let's go, damn it, I always feel that I haven't eaten enough, and I can't work hard later." ”

Others laughed at him: "Don't be lazy, if the stone is not cut today, we can't live with the Zhang family's wages." ”

With that, the group left quickly.

Not long after the empty seat, it was occupied by a man, and the man shouted: "Tell me to wait, I'm afraid that I will miss work later, Xiao Er, Xiao Er, serve the food, hurry up." ”

The little two shuttled through the store like a spinning top.

Seeing this, Zhu Di's index finger moved, and he also felt that he was extremely hungry.

When Xiao Er came, Xiao Er still remembered Yao Guangxiao, and said with a big smile: "Is the monk still eating food today?" ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "Just come up, as for me...... Donor, you need to serve good food. ”

Xiao Er looked at Zhu Di: "Oh, this is also a distinguished guest, what does the honored guest want to eat." ”

"Whoever is good at it." Zhu Di is arrogant and dry.

Xiao Er responded, and smiled bitterly to Yao Guangxiao: "Oh, at this time, I am the most busy." If there is negligence, it is not necessary to pay first. ”

With that, he left in a hurry.

Zhu Di was more and more surprised, he found that the diners here were completely different from the diners he had in Beiping.

Diners here...... Most of them are some rough men, these men may not be able to order too many dishes, if it is a group of three or five, then three or five people order two or three dishes, but the rice is more, occasionally ...... I will also call a cup of rice wine, and if it is one person, I will only order one dish.

The most important thing is that they eat, not the kind of banquet when they sit for a long time, chewing slowly.

These people often come in a hurry, eat very quickly, and in a moment they are swept away, and then they are hurried away.

Occasionally, I saw a few men dressed as peasants, who came timidly with their children, and they would be slower, but they would not dare to stay long.

Zhu Di's wine and food were quickly served.

Yao Guangxiao happily ate his food.

But Zhu Di has a lot of dishes, all of which are big fish and meat, but there are very few people who order a table of dishes like him.

The man on the other side obviously felt very restrained, and hurriedly ate and left.

So much so that although there were people on the other side who were still waiting for the position, they didn't dare to sit opposite Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was really hungry, not to mention that when he saw the people around him eating deliciously, he also feasted.

After a hearty meal, the time seemed to be coming, and finally in the lively inn, the people gradually cooled down.

A little later, only Zhu Di and his entourage were left in this inn.

Xiao Er hurriedly came over to clean up, and took a cautious look at Zhu Di, it is indeed rare to be able to order so many dishes alone in this person.

Xiao Er first said to Yao Guangxiao: "Zen Master, today's taste is okay. ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Er said to Zhu Di again: "There are so many dishes, I'm afraid that the guests can't eat them, or why don't you wrap them in lotus leaves and eat them at home?" ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "No need." ”

Xiao Er smiled: "It's a small event." ”

Zhu Di said suddenly: "Why is the business here so good?" ”

Xiao Er is also idle now, and he has nothing to do, so he said: "Not only this inn, but all the places to eat in this bazaar are like this now, but those who are not black-hearted, three meals a day are full." ”

Zhu Di was surprised, and couldn't help but say, "There are so many people coming to eat? ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "You don't know anything about the guest officer, now, this Qixia Ferry, when it comes to trading, no one can compare to here." When I was last year, there were only three inns here, and now it is ...... There are already eight, but they are still full every day, and the guest officer sees a few shops built forty feet away? Many people have bought land and are in a hurry to come here to open and do business. ”

Zhu Di suddenly became curious, and said, "Why is this?" ”

Xiao Er became interested, wiped the oil stains on the table, and said with a smile: "What else can there be?" Let me tell you, do you know that all the households in this ferry are exempt from tenant rent, and the households have been given dozens of acres of land? When he was this year, he only harvested the land, but the crops in the fields were ...... But there is no need to collect rent. ”

"If you think about it, without tenants, that's really different! The younger brothers are the villagers, and in the past, at the end of the year, the grain planted, four or five out of ten, had to be confiscated! In addition, there is also a need to pay, this tax, when the Shen family is here, the chief of the security guard has to be designated by their family, saying how much they will collect, and how much loss they need to add, so that all year round, these seven or eighty percent of the grain ...... It's gone. ”

Xiao Er is a person who has seen the world, and he is flamboyant, and he is talking with relish at this time: "There are two or three percent of grain left, to feed the family, it would be good not to starve to death, if it was because of the famine year, if you borrowed food from the Shen family, you will have to take a lot of grain to repay the loan in the next year, and you will return to the nineteenth and thirteenth, you know?" That's all there is to it. ”

"So on weekdays, it's good that everyone doesn't starve to death. But it's different now. Speaking of this, Xiao Er's face was red: "Now that there is no tenant rent, even if it is a tax, it will still be true, and the money and grain owed on credit in the past have been written off!" Let's just say that a brother in my family, after harvesting the crops in the field this year, he shaved off the family's rations, as well as the next year's grain, and found that the family had more than 400 catties of surplus grain. ”

The more Zhu Di listened, the more surprised he became, and he didn't interrupt Xiao Er at this time, but only continued to listen carefully.

I only heard Xiao Er continue: "With confidence, I always come to the market once or twice in January, take the children back with a few feet of cloth, or feed some chickens and ducks with surplus grain, bring them to the market to sell, buy a hairpin for my mother-in-law, or ...... Buy some farm tools, you see...... Our inn, now there are a lot of such people to try it, don't look at them only come once or twice a month, but it can add up to a lot, this diner is too much, the owner makes money, and they are willing to hire one or two more guys and cooks. ”

Zhu Di seemed to understand, and he nodded hurriedly: "That's the truth, and who are those men?" ”

"Those men?" Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then understood who Zhu Di was asking, so he said, "Oh, it's for conscription." ”

"Conscription?"

"Isn't it a slack now? So a large number of strong men were recruited, to build bridges and pave roads, and to repair the wharves, in addition, they also said what ditches to dig to divert water, in fact, it was similar to repairing river embankments. Xiao Er said: "But this year is different from previous years. ”

Zhu Di was surprised: "What's the difference?" ”

"In other places, people who serve as conscripts bring their own dry food, but here they are different, although they can't take care of food, they will be paid according to the type of work. If you have a craft, at the end of the day, you can get a hundred and fifty yuan, even if it is an ordinary coolie, there are hundreds of dollars! ”

"Think about it, the big guy has surplus food at home, this heart has confidence, now the farmer comes to work in the slack, you can also get money, although this money is not much, but after all, it is sold dead energy, and the energy consumed is not small, so in the past, two meals a day, when going to work, you always have to have three meals a day to have strength, everyone is motivated, and you are willing to come to the inn at noon to eat a meal, in fact, it is not expensive."

Zhu Di listened and suddenly realized.

Just thinking about it carefully, I think that this cost is not small, the imperial court requisitioned the people's power, in fact, logically speaking, it is generally given some money and food, but I didn't expect it...... When this policy comes to the local level, the government simply allows you to bring your own dry food.

And here it is...... If you give money...... Seem...... The government may not be able to afford it, but this Qixia ferry has set a precedent.

Seeing Zhu Di pondering, as if he had some suspicions in his heart, Xiao Er said happily: "The guest officer must be thinking, this makes so much money, it costs a lot, in fact, I heard ......"

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "Actually, I still earned ......."

Zhu Di was even more surprised: "Earned? ”

The little second head said authentically, "Guest officer, don't you know, people are hungry, two meals a day, and they still eat bran vegetables, to be honest, how many people have the strength to work?" At this point, you may not know what it is like for a person to be hungry, but if a person is full of food and drink, and his whole body is full of energy, this is different! ”

"Many merchants in the past are talking about this, saying that the men here in our ferry, one person can be worth three people in other places, if it is more meticulous work, the widows in other places can't do it, but when they come to our ferry, they can really do it, no way, when they are full, their brains are good, and they can learn anything quickly."

When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly woke up, and he realized that the trick here was actually this.

In this era, there is no so-called concept of labor productivity, but Zhu Di also knows that this is actually the same as leading soldiers.

Ordinary group of malnourished soldiers, no matter how many people there are, are not combative, those well-fed and well-fed elite soldiers, on weekdays are also practiced, even if there are only a few hundred or thousands of people, they can play a huge role on the battlefield and become an important force to crush the opponent's front.

Zhu Di bowed his head and laughed: "Okay, good, I really didn't expect this ferry to ...... The people are still living so freely. ”

Xiao Er said: "It's not just that, it's easy to buy and sell here, many merchants are also moved, you think about it, not to mention the goods in and out here, just say that so many people here want to come to the market to have a good meal, buy a new pair of shoes, and be willing to pull a few pieces of cloth back, this thing accumulates a lot, and the business is easy to do!" ”

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the Zhang butcher who sells meat in the market, last year, only killed one pig a month, and this year, if you don't slaughter seven or eight heads, you can't supply them."

When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and then said: "But I heard outside that there are people here who kill innocents indiscriminately?" ”

"Murder? That's a lot of killings. When Xiao Er heard this, he became more and more energetic, and said: "The first person to kill is a man named Earthquake Tiger, this person used to open a gambling house, and in this ferry, he is really a sideways person, he has carried many murders, but he is familiar with Shangyuan County, and no one dares to care about him." But when Cheng Enbo came, the first one was to tie him up, beat him half to death, and directly killed him. Afterward...... Caught a few more ......"

Xiao Er eagerly continued: "One of them is an old woman, this person abducts and sells women and dolls, and specially tempts people to go to Nanjing City to sell them!" When he abducted the doll, he was caught on the spot, and Cheng Enbo knew about it, so he rushed over overnight, and even if he taught people to beat him, he was beaten to death. ”

Zhu Di listened to it, and suddenly understood everything.

"In this way, what kind of Chengenbo is the blue sky?"

As soon as Xiao Er heard Cheng Enbo, his voice also raised and said: "This is not only Qingtian, Qingtian doesn't pay people, this is Qingtian plus the God of Wealth, we all owe his protection, and we are here to eat." ”

Zhu Di laughed, his waist straightened, and he said, "Haha...... In fact, he is not so powerful, he is all a bit of a sideshow. ”

In fact, Zhu Di is also modest.

Xiao Er listened, but said with a straight face: "What is this, what is the side door left way, I think those old men are the side door left way, what is in the mouth to save the common people, and what is the people's thoughts, but what is not a foolish thing, I haven't read any books, I may not be able to compare with the guest officer, you know what the big truth, but I only know that everyone's life is better than before, it is the great truth." For the rest, you say that there is a bird in the sky. ”

Zhu Di smiled again, he ...... in his heart Suddenly, there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment: "What you say is reasonable, or you are reasonable, I think you can be the doctor of Guozijian." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xiao Er also scratched his head and was happy.

At this moment, there was a sudden ......

With a bang, the earth shook. Zhu Di's face suddenly changed......

Yao Guangxiao also wavered.

The little second was still calm, and even said with a smile: "Guest officer, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is an ordinary thing, let's be here at this ferry...... That's it, just get used to it. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

"Is the guest officer leaving? Sincere benefit of three hundred and seventy ......"

Zhu Di smiled and glanced at Yizha at the other table.

He seemed to realize that all the money he was carrying had been given to the old woman, so he looked unhurriedly at the guards.

Guards, look at me, I'll look at you.

“……”

Zhu Di: "......"

Yao Guangxiao seemed to have realized something, and shouted a Buddha name: "Amitabha, good, good!" ”

………………

Shenjiazhuang ......

After that roar, a flame rose up, and the remaining half of the Shen family's mansion suddenly fell into billowing smoke.

Qiu Songzheng raised his head slightly, crossed his hands, and shook his nose, but he looked at the fireworks with joy, his clear eyes were shining.

After the deafening roar.

Unlike the hill pine.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan were already conditioned, and directly dragged Zhang Anshi and ran.

Zhu Yong shouted: "Big brother, the wind is tight, run!" ”

Zhang Anshi was dragged away by them, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, fuck you, what are you doing, this is your own land." ”

Zhu Yong seemed to suddenly realize, yes, this is not blowing up people's pits, nor is it throwing gunpowder bags at other people's houses, this is our own bombing.

So, he hurriedly put Zhang Anshi down.

Zhang Anshi was panting, busy on the ground like ants in a hot pot looking for his shoes after being dragged off by them, and scolded in his mouth: "No future, I knew you had no future, I didn't bother to take care of you." Look at your virtue, oh, I'm blind......"

Finally found the shoes, took off the shoes, looked up at the last ruins of Shenjiazhuang, and fell into the sea of fire.

The fire was so great that there was nothing to burn, only countless ashes and smoke filled the sky.

Zhang Anshi has dressed up at this time.

Not far away, hundreds of organized laborers and craftsmen stand by.

Zhang Anshi walked over and waved his big hand: "Listen to my orders, clean up!" ”

"Whoa!"

All the laborers were in high spirits, and as soon as they heard the order, they immediately let out a mountain of cries: 'Oh! ”

So saying, the people rushed forward with shovels, shovels, and hammers.

This Shen family's Zhuangzi ...... It's really useless.

In particular, Qiu Song has been thinking about the remaining half of the building that has not been blown up.

Zhang Anshi weighed it again and again, it was all up to this point, so let's blow up the rest and raze it to the ground, his new prison, ah no, his new school, will naturally rise on this piece of scorched earth.

Although he made up his mind, when Qiu Song finally succeeded, Zhang Anshi's heart was still bleeding.

It's too hard for me.

Blew himself up twice.

And both times it was my Zhang Anshi willingly.

Zhang Anshi felt like his child had died in a cloud of fireworks.

And he died twice.

took a breath, turned around and scolded Zhu Yong and Zhang Wei again.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan drooped their heads, not daring to talk back, only muttering softly.

When he turned around, he found that Qiu Song was gone, and when he looked closely, he found that Qiu Song was the first to rush into the scene, nine times out of ten, he wanted to see his masterpiece again, and he also wanted to check the power of the explosion.

At this moment, a man rushed over and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, it's terrible, it's terrible, something big has happened." ”

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "What's the matter?" ”

The man said: "At the Blessing Inn, some people don't give money for dinner today, oops...... There were several people, and they were still carrying knives, and they were very fierce. ”

Zhang Anshi scolded: "Damn, since Lao Tzu came here, I have never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant, he can't even see petty theft on weekdays, and now there are still people who dare to eat without paying, who does he think he is?" ”

"Let's go." Zhang Anshi waved his hand and suddenly thought of something: "They still have knives?" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Anshi was furious: "Convener, gather one hundred and eighty people for me, bring the guy, whether he has a hoe or a shovel, bring it, everyone protect me and come with me." ”

Zhang Anshi is really responding to this ferry.

As soon as the order was given, many men came with their guys, and the team grew stronger and stronger, and the pressure was terrifying.

When I arrived at the inn, it was already surrounded by water.

Inside, he heard the human: "Whoever said that he didn't give money, but he didn't bring it, I asked someone to pick it up." ”

"Guest officer, you eat white food, but you still deny what here, I was a distinguished guest at first, and I saw this monk with you, no wonder you ordered so many dishes, and you didn't plan to pay. I don't care, don't think about leaving any of you, I've already taught someone to inform our Uncle Zhang, wait for Uncle Zhang to come, and see how to clean you up. ”

"You called him."

"Ah, you still dare to say such tough words, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."

"Bold, you are so bold!"

The scolding in it is inexorable.

Zhang Anshi waited for the first person in front of him to go in, and the person who started looked back and said, "I haven't used the knife yet, I haven't used the knife." ”

Zhang Anshi suddenly became arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm Zhang Anshi." ”

After that, coming out of the crowd, Zhang Anshi appeared with the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him.

As soon as I entered the inn, my eyes seemed to be blinded, and my first reaction was to want to smear oil on the soles of my feet.

But seeing that in front of everyone's eyes, Zhu Di stared in the direction in front of the door, Zhang Anshi and Zhu Di looked at each other slightly, and knew that they couldn't run away.

Zhang Anshi's legs changed from a big stride to a small broken step, and he was still holding his head high, crossing his waist, his hands hanging down in a blink of an eye, and his back bowed slightly.

bowed his head and ears, stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I'm wrong." ”

When Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi, his eyes were already bright, he was really embarrassed to be surrounded by so many people, he was even more afraid that someone would know his identity, if someone spread the news that he was here today, he was afraid that it would be no different from the rumor that he ate X in Beiping at the beginning.

When Zhang Anshi meekly arrived in front of him, Zhu Di squinted at Zhang Anshi, so he said to the little er: "Look, this Zhang Anshi is here, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned, and everyone else was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan were about to rush in with Zhang Anshi with their sleeves up, but when they looked inside, the two of them ran away without a trace in an instant.

Zhang Anshi said to Xiao Er: "This is my eldest brother, do you know?" He has never paid for food, and wherever he is, he follows this rule. ”

When Zhu Di heard it, he didn't know whether Zhang Anshi's words were good or bad, they sounded like they were towards himself, but how could they seem to be sarcastic?

Xiao Er was at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Zhang ...... Uncle Zhang, little ......... Small ......"

Zhang Anshi was embarrassed, so many people looked at it, so he was busy taking out the silver from his arms at random, and he didn't count it, and stuffed it directly into Xiao Er's hand: "Take it, take it, everyone is scattered, all of them are scattered for me." Fuck, are they all idle meals? Shout you to work! ”

After everyone listened, where they dared to stay, they dispersed in a hurry.

Zhang Anshi was so embarrassed that he immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but he could only stand hard.

In fact, Zhu Di was also very embarrassed, he was caught by the shopkeeper to pay, and he was watched by so many people, which is definitely something that has never happened in his life.

"Ah...... Yes...... Big brother, are you here? Zhang Anshi hesitated in front of Xiao Er.

Zhu Di pinned his eyes to other places, for fear of showing his face, so he only said lightly: "Hmm...... yes, here I am, come and see you. ”

In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhang Anshi had nothing to say and said, "Eat...... Have you eaten it? ”

This was an ordinary greeting, but as soon as these words came out, Zhu Di broke through his defense and returned to his true nature: "Your mother." Didn't I eat like this? ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"
