At the official crossing of Hongni Township, Zhou Bai said goodbye to everyone who came to say goodbye one by one, this time he will leave for a long time.

Even if he is successful, he may have to continue to study and will not come back for the time being.

"Sir, the camp hall will be handed over to you, and if all plans change, you can make a decision."

"Zhou Yuan, we are not the main force in the remaining twelve villages of Cangshan, don't patronize to suppress bandits and train troops, we will also practice. The position of the deputy head of the martial arts hall is not to give you a name, I will take those who have studied the art of war, and they can all be cultivated."

……

In the end, Zhou Bai said goodbye to the old patriarch Zhou Mingxuan alone, and all the others dispersed.

"The seizure of the Lost Soul Village, because the clan soldiers can take thirty percent, and you don't let the clansmen interfere with the rest, I have my own arrangements in the inner house."

"Well, I hope you've always been able to choose the right path for your family."

"Old patriarch, rest assured, as long as the agenda of the group hall, you supervise and go according to the plan, and there will be a harvest in the future." Zhou Bai smiled and said very confidently.

Zhou Mingxuan's expression was complicated, and he nodded helplessly: "That's it, the development of Cangshan is really the first time in a hundred years that it has been ......."

Seeing that the old man agreed, Zhou Bai handed Zhou Mingxuan a bag of things wrapped in black cloth, turned over and said, "Then the old patriarch take care, the family will take care of you for a while."

"Have a good journey, my unicorn will be able to glorify our ancestors!" Zhou Mingxuan propped up his old and weak right hand and shouted blessings with great effort.

At this time, he must be sincere, because as long as Zhou Bai can be promoted this time, the Zhou family will be able to become a county tycoon.

Da Da Da ~ When the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, Zhou Mingxuan opened the black cloth with some confusion, and inside was actually a letter from the Imperial Court Rites Department.

The Son of Heaven was given a knighthood, and Zhou Bai naturally wanted to write a letter of thanks, and at the same time use the privilege of the title as usual.

The privilege of Captain Yun is to write the name of the person who wants to be blessed on the book of thanks, and he chose Zhou Mingxuan, who has dedicated most of his life to the old patriarch for the family, to solve his worries.

Now what Zhou Mingxuan has in his hand is the seal of the Ministry of Rites, the Yinyou Edict under the blessing of the imperial court's luck, and the name of Zhou Mingxuan is written in the first line.

Even if Zhou Mingxuan dies of illness now, there is no need to worry about becoming a lonely ghost or going to the underworld to suffer, and the Yinyou Edict will increase the number of places on the basis of the upper limit of the family's spiritual realm.

He never expected that Zhou Bai was not left to his parents.

This is with the determination to be lifted, because only when the family is promoted will there be two more ancestral spirit positions.

The ancestral spirits of the township can be one to three, and the county hao is three to five, which is a fixed number limited by the family style.

Otherwise, there will only be a special decree of the imperial court, such as Zhou Bai's title privilege.

There will be more county hopes, and the Yellow Mansion Spirit Domain can accommodate more than a dozen ancestral spirits, but that's it.

How many people are in a county family, and when the latecomers see that there is no place for him, how can they have the motivation to lead the family forward in despair.

Most of the five-rank officials are loyal to the imperial court, dedicating all their luck to strive for a chance to enter the Dragon Court.

Only the family is different, they can be passed down for thousands of years, spanning several dynasties, just because the family has a blessed land. ….

No matter how small the blessed land is, it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of souls at all.

Blessedly, the later disciples of the family will be busy contributing to the family, forming a good competitive atmosphere.

They can see hope, they just need to do better than their peers, and the chances are much greater.

Zhou Bai didn't care about Zhou Mingxuan's complicated feelings, and rushed out far away with his sword.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the appearance of Cangshan behind him that he was a few steps slower.

He glanced at the bushes on the side of the road with a blank look in his eyes, and shouted, "Don't send it away, take care of the family for me, and practice the soul method that taught you."

There was no reply, Zhou Bai shook his head slightly, and continued to gallop along the official road.

After a long time, a shadow jumped out and stomped a few words.

However, Zhou Bai's extraordinary and keen insight also made her feel at ease, which was clearly a void

Fake mortal talents.

……

Passing by the county seat, Zhou Bai did not go in, but only changed the horses at the post station next to the road.

There is no difference between an ordinary yellow-maned horse and a Maxima on a road that is too far away, because Maxima also has a time to stop and rest, and a rest is most of the day.

In addition to the Jiaoma, the stamina is enough, and the recovery is also enough.

Zhou Bai chose ordinary horses, which is convenient for transferring at the post stations along the way, and he will change when he changes, and he will not feel distressed.

Although he is not an official on official business, whether he is going to take the test for Xiucai or the identity of Yun Cai, he can get this little power.

Even if the horses at the inn are sometimes better, they only have to pay a little more for repairs.

All the way south, there is a post station to live in a post station, and there is no wind to eat and sleep.

Seven days later, Zhou Bai officially stepped out of the boundary of Bei'an County.

There was no strongman in the middle, but several teams of inspectors were encountered, and they kindly reminded Zhou Bai to pay attention to safety and not to rush alone.

To the south of Bei'an County is Ruinan County, and the main road of Dingzhou Dajiang Ningjiang is to Ruinan County.

After the Canglan River dried up and blocked, Bei'an County did not even have a decent tributary of the Ningjiang River, and the people of Bei'an could not understand what it means to be rich in water resources and what it means to have developed water transportation.

Shuiyang County, which is the first county of Ruinan County after leaving Bei'an, is also the place where Zhou Bai can take a boat.

From here, he will go down the river to the center of Dingzhou, more than a thousand miles along the way, passing through three counties and thirteen cities.

Shuiyang Ferry, even if he came in his previous life, Zhou Bai has been on the plains of Bei'an County for a long time, and now he still has a striking feeling.

Thousands of miles away, the flag covers the sky, and the outsiders who have just arrived in Ningjiang will be shocked by its prosperous scene.

Even if this describes the battle flag of the warship, the prosperous scene on the river at the ferry port is still half the same.

One by one, the experienced captains were ushered in, and the small boats they drove were like ants on the wide river, and they sent the guests lined up on the shore to the big boats in the river one by one.

It is difficult for the big ships to dock, because they are so big that if they get too close, they will have to eat shallowly, and if they want to move, they will have to work hard with a thousand slender men at the same time.

Zhou Bai sold the horse to a merchant who was selling it cheaply, and then boarded a canopy boat with ease.

In fact, you can take the horse on the boat, and the horse can be well cared for, but at this price it is better to wait until you get to the place to buy it.

The canopy boat is light and nimble, and can be handled by one captain, but there are only three or four people who can sit.

On this ship, Zhou Bai was accompanied by a pair of young brothers, who seemed to have come from the north, and should be preparing to go to the south.

"Boatman, is that big ship famous? If it were so big, wouldn't there be no way to survive?" One of them asked, pointing to the target ship in the river.

This is a typical landlubber, and the northwestern states have never seen such a boat, but the brothers can also see the uneasiness mixed with excitement in their eyes. Eight 1z.?? br/> "It's called a dragon boat, even if the little Jiao in the Ningjiang River makes waves, it can carry it, how can it be overturned."

"More than a hundred meters is not a small amount, I heard that there are also large dragon boats on the Tianjiang River that are thousands of meters long, and there are immortals on them, even the dragon god does not dare to offend."

"Don't disbelieve, posterity......
