Chapter 071: Rising Vision
Staying overnight, in the early morning of the next day, Chen Jing prepared to return to the racecourse.
"Chen Jing, you remember, the situation in the six southern states is very complicated, not only the people of the two factions, but also the rebels, as well as the gate lords, and even those clan villages, don't provoke."
When they parted, Lin Tang worriedly persuaded him.
"Don't worry, brother, I understand." Chen Jing clenched his fists. Now, whether it is him or Lin Tang, the two of them are too weak, like two shrimps, trying to climb out of the mud and dust and stir up the wind and clouds.
"Chen Jing, this is for you." Lin Tang took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, "When I was in the capital, I helped an old imperial doctor, and the anti-injury medicine he sent was said to have been brought out from the palace." Lin Xiao tried it once, and the effect was excellent. You lead people to run horse gangs, lick the knife edge business, remember to be careful. ”
Chen Jing was not pretentious, took the porcelain vase, and nodded at Lin Tang before he and Xing Xiaojiu stepped on the stirrup and left the Lin Mansion.
Lin Tang stood in front of the mansion gate, staring for a long time, and when he couldn't see Chen Jing's figure, he turned around silently and walked back to the mansion.
……
"Boss, are we the officials now?" As soon as he got out of Taowei County, Xing Xiaojiu was overjoyed.
"Not a pamper." Chen Jing shook his head. is still the same sentence, if you really want to be an official, Lin Tang is by no means the best candidate. What he wants is a long-term complementarity.
If you don't take the official career, then you will help Lin Tang to take the position. And Lin Tang will also ensure that he becomes a giant in the six southern states in the future. It's a wonderful relationship, but it's not impossible, and in this situation, it looks messy at first glance, but the chances of getting ahead are just as great.
Heroes emerge from troubled times, not just talking.
In the future, he has to find a way with Lin Tang to fight for a merit and quickly ascend to the position. At the very least, you must first be promoted to become a government official.
The voice of a small county governor is really too low.
"Xiao Jiu, don't talk about this."
"Don't worry, I remember everything."
Chen Jing smiled, raised his whip to urge the horse, and the two horsemen followed the official road and quickly rushed back to the direction of the racecourse. In the middle of the road, he met the people who had fled from the south. In the midst of it, a battalion of troops happened to pass by, and the leading lieutenant, after hearing the cry of the people, first comforted him lightly, and when he rode away on horseback, he couldn't stop laughing in a low voice.
Chen Jing retracted his gaze, and a faint sadness was born in his heart.
Yuan Siqiao asked him not to show his prominence, let him hide his clumsiness, he couldn't say, he guessed something.
Chen Jing exhaled, didn't think about it anymore, took Xing Xiaojiu, galloped quickly, and rushed back to the racecourse in the twilight of dusk.
"The owner is back!"
As soon as Chen Jing got off the horse, far away, he found that there were many young people and family members. Sun Xiong, who had fled from the south, and a few other young men ran over happily at this time.
"The owner, I'll see the owner."
"You're welcome." Chen Jing smiled. The increase in the population of the horse farm is a good thing. It's a pity that the south-maned horse hasn't landed yet.
When the time comes, you can't just take a few goods and horses to run the ancient tea horse road.
"Brothers, let's help build the house first." Chen Jing commanded. The brick kiln has been laid, and when the wooden house is finished, the bricks will be burned.
Song Yu, as the main mother, showed a gentle smile when she saw Chen Jing come back, but then she became a little worried.
"Song Yu, what's wrong?"
"Chen Jing, now there are nearly forty people in Zhuangzi."
Forty people, they have to eat and drink every day, and the business has not been opened, and sooner or later they will have to sit and eat.
"Don't worry." Chen Jing comforted, "Zhuangzi is built, I want to find a way to make money." ”
Song Yu nodded.
"By the way, Chen Jing, someone from the official workshop came over just now and asked about recruiting strong men."
"Recruiting strong men?"
"yes, but it seems polite."
Chen Jing shook his head. At this time, recruiting strong men must be cannon fodder for the crusade against the rebels. is still the same sentence, even in the six southern states, the two factions of reform and conservatism have their own thoughts. But if the matter of the rebels is not resolved for a long time, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.
"Don't bother with that."
Chen Jing turned around and walked forward, hesitated, and called Sun Xiong, who was building a house.
"What's wrong with the owner?"
"Sun Xiong, you used to run the horse gang and went to the Yueren tribe?"
"I've only been there once."
"How." Chen Jing smiled and asked Sun Xiong to sit down next to him.
"Owner, it's pretty good. I used to think that the Yue people were like the barbarians, eating raw meat and drinking stinky water, but they were not, they actually planted rice and woven hemp, and they spoke politely. ”
In the six southern states, the southeast is the Yue tribe, while the southwest is the barbarians. In the territory of the barbarians, there is only one barbarian mountain separated from the Central Plains. The four battalions that rebelled earlier were the ones who guarded the barbarian mountain.
Now it seems that because the Vietnamese people often exchange markets, they should be civilized, understand some etiquette, and be willing to deal with the Central Plains and do business.
According to Chen Jing's cognition, the most sought-after goods on the Yue people's side should be things like animal skins and herbs. The Yue tribe is close to the sea, and there are also precious things such as pearl coral.
In the South China Sea, there are many pearl divers who never come back to pick shellfish corals.
Undoubtedly, the Yue tribe is the most suitable place for horse racing gangs. Tea and porcelain from the Central Plains, if sold in the past, at least two or three times the profit.
Of course, this is only scratching the surface. The real business of the caravan lies in the novelties created by Chen Jing.
"Sun Xiong, what is the danger of this journey?"
"Naturally, the forests in the south are very dense, and there are often people who are brave and fat, and they gather into bandits. After these thieves killed people, they picked hemp noodles and rushed home to plant rice. The official side sent people several times, but they couldn't find out. There are also often big insects with hanging eyes, so hungry that they panic, lying in the forest on the side of the official road, and when there are cars and horses, they will jump up and pounce on them. ”
Chen Jing frowned. The situation in the six southern states was even more severe than he thought. After coming here, not only the two factions were incompatible, but also the rebel bandits. However, it is slightly safer than the Gyeongeup area.
But again, it is really difficult for a little person with no background to get up.
"Sun Xiong, is there a big battle on the rebels' side?"
After all, it was because of the rebels that he fled, and when he heard Chen Jing talk about it, Sun Xiong's face suddenly tightened.
"If you see someone, you will kill them, and if you are not happy when you enter the village, you will kill them all...... It looked like he was suffocated and crazy. I don't know why, for so long, the officials have not sent a large army to quell the rebellion. ”
Sun Xiong didn't understand, but Chen Jing understood.
His heart is finally towards Mr. Big. But in the six southern states, Hu Zun, the governor who stayed behind to supervise the law change, should not use the people as a bet no matter what.
It's a pity that in the court of the capital, these two factions are also fighting to the death. Chen Jing only hoped that after the big gentleman got the news, he would quickly make a decision to counterbalance the rebellion.
"Boss, you haven't seen it. When I first fled, there were more people dead, and I ran up a dirt slope, and when I looked up, it was densely packed with figures covered with white linen. ”
If a relative dies in the family, he will wear linen and filial piety. When there are more people who die, there will naturally be more people who cover white linen.
