"Master Hou, I'll be in Dongchang Mansion soon, let's get off the boat in a while to replenish some food, and there are no fresh vegetables to buy some ......."

Yun Cheng is reporting the itinerary to Chen Kan.

Before you know it, the treasure boat that sat down has been traveling on the canal for more than a month.

For a month, everyone walked and played, and they always visited any places of interest or other places of interest or big cities.

This is the advantage of taking a boat, not only to have time to travel in the mountains and rivers, but also to have the pain of trekking through mountains and rivers.

Dongchang Mansion is also a famous historical and cultural city, which belongs to the state of culture and etiquette under the rule of the political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan.

Hearing Yun Cheng's chatter, Chen Kan stretched out his hand to stop him: "You can take your subordinates to do it yourself, by the way, bring the third little kid with you, and make Ben Hou's brain hurt on the boat." ”

Anyway, when I go shopping or something, Chen Kan is not interested in anything, it looks like autumn is about to begin, and if you don't have a good night's sleep, it will really be autumn.

Yun Cheng didn't think that his own Hou Ye could follow, he was purely idle, just brushing his sense of existence in front of Chen Kan.

The treasure ship was successfully docked at the Dongchangfu wharf.

Such a huge treasure ship has just docked on the pier and attracted countless people to stop and watch.

Dongchang has belonged to the north, there are many horses and few ships in the north, although Dongchang is on the side of the canal, but the imperial court can not be opened, and there are only a few fishing boats scattered on the wharf of Dongchang Mansion.

It is not that there are no merchant ships coming and going, but most of the merchants at the dock will leave in a hurry after replenishing enough fresh water and food, and there are few large ships docking, and people are constantly disembarking, and there is a posture of not leaving.

Chen Kan didn't go, but Zhu Yuelan had an almost crazy obsession with shopping.

So she just glanced at Chen Kan, and then walked away with three little children and a bunch of minions.

Chen Kan gave her a roll of his eyes in return, and continued to lie under the parasol and close his eyes to recuperate.

Chen Kan has been thinking about Zhu Zhanji's education these days, and he has been thinking about it since he found out that Zhu Zhanji's comprehension ability is not as good as Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi.

His current practice of the three little ones is basically a free-range education, teaching them knowledge by the way when he plays with them every day.

Of course, this can also be counted as a kind of elitist education.

But now elite education doesn't seem to be very suitable for Zhu Zhanyan, so Chen Kan has to think about other education methods.

After thinking about it, Chen Kan still felt that the cramming education in the later generations might be more suitable for him.

That is, rote memorization, sea tactics.

But there is a problem with this, Chen Kan is very lazy, and he is absolutely unwilling to think about those messy topics unless necessary.

Therefore, this has led to Zhu Zhanji's current learning progress far behind Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi.

Lying on the recliner, Chen Kan twisted over like a maggot, his face full of confusion.

In an instant, he had an urge to give up Zhu Zhanyan and stop teaching.

"Oh my God, give me a set of primary and secondary school workbooks or a three-year mock five-year college entrance examination......

Chen Kan sat up suddenly, and then found that he and Zhang San were the only ones left on the huge ship with a few personal guards to guard the safety of the property on the treasure boat.

Seeing Chen Kan sitting up, Zhang San came over and asked, "Master Hou, are you going to get off the boat?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan made a decision.

He patted Zhang San on the shoulder: "You guard the boat, I'll go down and take a look." ”

Zhang San nodded, and beckoned to a few guards behind him: "You guys, go and protect the safety of the Hou Ye." ”

"No need, Ben Hou will walk alone."

Chen Kan shook his head and rejected Zhang San's kindness.

Now that the people who are hostile to him in the Ming Dynasty are either in the capital or have died, Chen Kan does not think that he will still encounter danger here.

What's more, he has a gun in his hand, and the general danger can basically be ignored.

Walking off the treasure ship with his hands behind his back, in the envious eyes of the merchants and laborers on the dock, Chen Kan casually found a direction and walked into the city.

Dongchang is just a government city, and it is naturally not as prosperous as Jingshi, and the scale of the city is not large.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

The entire Dongchang City is divided into four square markets by two avenues.

Every market has a commercial area in it.

During the reign of the great grandfather, the Ming Dynasty suppressed business.

But no matter which dynasty and generation, it is inseparable from businessmen.

Therefore, the business environment of Daming is under this kind of pressure, but it shows a kind of abnormal prosperity.

Zhu Yuelan and Yun Cheng didn't know where to go with the three little guys, Chen Kan was only a few minutes late when he entered the city and couldn't see their traces.

Fortunately, Chen Kan was originally disembarking to relax, and if he couldn't keep up with the large army, he wouldn't follow.

When I walked to a market, I saw a meat patty seller, so I took out a handful of copper coins and bought one while gnawing on it while strolling.

After less than ten minutes of shopping, Chen Kan had a bunch of extra things on his hands, chestnuts fried in the river sand, sour plum soup in the north to cool off, and a few large lamb skewers that were a foot long.

Chen Kan is not interested in shopping, but Chen Kan is still happy to go shopping and eat.

Especially the big mutton skewers in the north, which are affordable and full, unlike the mutton in the south, no matter how you deal with it, there is always a smell.

However, Chen Kan's action was too generous, which still caused some unnecessary trouble.

In particular, the bulging money bag on his waist attracted the eyes of some splashes who were wandering around the market.

Chen Kan didn't care, but came to a candy man's stall and asked, "Boss, how do you sell sugar people?" ”

The owner of the stall is a rickety middle-aged man, and there are a lot of vivid sugar figures on the stall, and Chen Kan is ready to buy them for the three little guys.

The boss pretended to hand a sugar man to Chen Kan, and said in a low voice: "The guest is from the south, the villain suggests that you should leave quickly." ”

Chen Kan smiled silently and continued to ask, "How do you sell candy people?" ”

The boss frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "One for four yuan, three for ten yuan." ”

Chen Kan untied the money bag on his waist and counted out ten copper coins and handed them over: "I want three." ”

The boss glanced at Chen Kan with some annoyance, bowed his head and pretended to be a candy man for Chen Kan, but said in a low voice: "You young man doesn't know anything, don't you understand the truth that you don't expose your wealth when you go out?" ”

Chen Kan stretched out his hand to take the candy man wrapped in a paper bag by the boss, and said with a smile: "It's okay, thank you boss for reminding me." ”

"Let's go, let's go."

The boss drove away impatiently.

Chen Kan knew that the other party was a kind reminder, so he smiled at him: "Let's go, let's go." ”

Just saying this, after Chen Kan left the candy seller's stall, he still walked around the market again, bought some seasonal fruits, and then left the market slowly.

Seeing Chen Kan walking out of the market gate, many of the stalls that Chen Kan had patronized immediately cast sympathetic glances at his back.

It's a pity, it's a good young man, but his brain is not very bright.

Wearing such a good silk caftan is estimated to be a noble son of a family in the south.

It's a pity that I don't understand the world!

Seeing that the hooligans and ruffians in the market also walked out of the market behind Chen Kan, many people suddenly showed expressions of anger on their faces.

At this moment, everyone decided in their hearts the end of that young man.

Chen Kan didn't care, from the moment he entered the market, he knew that he had been targeted.

A person like him, who is dressed like a noble son at a glance, and who has not yet been guarded by his side, is a big fat sheep in the eyes of those who have a heart, or the kind that he sent to the door to be slaughtered.

But this time they looked away, Chen Kan was not a big fat sheep, but a big bad wolf who killed people like hemp.

Left and right are just a group of gangsters, as insignificant as a swarm of ants, over the years, Chen Kan has already developed a noble posture of looking down on everything.

After walking around and feeling a little more relaxed, Chen Kan walked in the direction of the canal.

Just walked into an alley, and the two ends of the alley were blocked.

Chen Kan just went his own way, and did not take these gangsters in his eyes.

Suddenly, Chen Kan seemed to see a familiar figure walking outside the alley.

Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, trying to determine if he was dazzled, but his vision was blocked by a gangster.

The little thug walked towards Chen Kan with a cruel smile: "Nanyan, this is the uncle's territory, if you don't honor the uncle, you want to leave?" ”

Chen Kan frowned: "Get out!" ”

"Keep your money bag, as well as the wrench hosta on your body, and other valuable things, so that you will not suffer from flesh and skin."

There were two people in the front and back of the alley, completely blocking Chen Kan's view.

Chen Kan was still a little puzzled in his heart whether the figure he saw just now was an old man, and when he heard the arrogant words of the little gangster, his face sank suddenly.

"I said, fuck off!"

Chen Kan was still walking forward, and the two thugs who came on hand were furious when they heard this.

I'm afraid this person is not a fool, and he can't tell the difference between the big and the small kings by this time?

"Since you don't keep it, then grandpa will pick it up himself."

The little thug at the head stretched out his hand and attacked Chen Kan's waist, but the next moment, the whole person flew out like a cannonball.

"Trouble!"

Chen Kan's face was very cold, but there was no mercy at his feet.

In the past two years since he came to Daming, Chen Kan has experienced more than once or twice, just these little gangsters, even if they don't use muskets, Chen Kan can easily take care of them, but it will take some time.

It's a pity that Chen Kan is most lacking in time now, because the figure he passed by in the alley just now looks more and more like that person.

But isn't that person in Taiyuan, how could he appear in Dongchang City?

A splash couldn't hold up a foot in Chen Kan's hand, which suddenly made the remaining three gangsters a little stunned.

But then came anger, and the four of them besieged one of them, but the other put down one of them.

If it's a peerless fierce man on the other side, it doesn't matter, but it's just a weak chicken boy who can't pick up his shoulders and can't lift his hands, how can he rest!

"Toast and don't eat, eat and drink, and look for death."

The three thugs were annoyed and embarrassed, and rushed towards Chen Kan at the same time.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

They were greeted by three shots.

"Ah~"

The screams resounded in the sky, but Chen Kan didn't have time to pay attention to them, and hurriedly rushed out of the alley and chased after the figure that he had just glimpsed in shock.

"Yun Ji?"

Chen Kan shouted tentatively, but he was still a step too late, and the graceful figure had already walked into a restaurant.

Yes, the figure that Chen Kan felt familiar with was Yun Ji, who had a relationship with him in the Jin Palace, when he went to Taiyuan for the first time.

At that time, Chen Kan was just a fledgling rookie, and Yun Ji at that time was already a ripe peach.

Although Chen Kan held it at that time, it did not affect Yun Ji and left a deep image in Chen Kan's heart.

But what really puzzled Chen Kan was that Dongchang was just a small city by the canal, why did Yun Ji appear here?

Since Yun Ji is here, does that mean that Zhu Jiheng is also here.

He is a vassal king, he doesn't want to stay in Taiyuan to enjoy the glory and wealth, what are you doing in Dongchang?

With doubts in his heart, Chen Kan turned around and walked out of the city.

I didn't look at the alley that was full of wailing as I passed by.

Back on the boat, Chen Kan looked at the city wall in front of him and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Zhu Jiheng and Yun Ji came to Shandong from Shanxi, and settled in the small city of Dongchang, how strange they thought.

Based on Chen Kan's understanding of Zhu Jihuang, that guy will definitely not be a person who is willing to travel long distances, and he sent someone to invite him to the capital, if it weren't for the position of King Xu Yijin, this guy probably wouldn't come back.

Later, when he went to Taiyuan to meet him, his various performances proved that he was a sixth man who was very good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

It is taboo for the vassal king to leave the fief without authorization, and with Zhu Jiheng's character, there is no reason to make such a low-level mistake.

"Did you trigger some hidden plot again?"

Chen Kan muttered, but he kept thinking about the reason why Zhu Jiheng appeared here.

It's not that Chen Kan is seriously ill, it's really that this place in Shandong is too special in the Yongle Dynasty.

When Zhu Di raised troops to settle the country, the Yandi Xuanda generation quickly surrendered to Zhu Di, only in Shandong, after Zhu Di had successfully stolen the crystal, he was still dissatisfied with Zhu Di's rebellious act of making rice.

Tie Xuan gave up resistance under the persuasion of Fang Xiaoru long after Zhu Di ascended the throne.

Therefore, this place in Shandong has always been special in Zhu Di's heart.

Or to put it bluntly, Zhu Di has some hatred for the military and civilians in Shandong.

This can be seen in the fact that after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was exempted from taxes in various places, but he only omitted the land of Shandong.

In the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di opened up Enke in order to please the world's scholars, including students in remote places such as Yunnan and Guizhou.

However, Shandong, which is a state of etiquette and a major sect of Confucianism, did not make the list.

There is also Ji Gang's last stop to track down the remnants of the sins, which is also in Shandong.

To sum up, the relationship between the people in Shandong and the imperial court can be said to be disgusting with each other, just like when the great grandfather supported Chen Youliang because the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang supported him, so after he ascended the throne, he targeted various students in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

And Zhu Jihuang, as a major sect of the King of Jin, will not come to Shandong to escape the summer, right?

"Are you coming at me?"

After a moment, Chen Kan couldn't help but guess.
