In the early morning of the next day, Chen Jing sent Hu Dong and Hu Xi to follow Zhu Feng along the way to recruit the old soldiers. If it is successful, there will be the first batch of soldiers to protect the village in Chenjia Horse Village.

"Xiao Jiu, come with me to the city." Retracting his gaze, Chen Jing spoke in a condensed voice.

No matter how you say it, when Zhuangzi is older, there will be a lot of people, and he can't sit and eat empty. When he came back from Manshan, Li Guang also gave eight south-maned horses, which could brew the first round of horse gang business in the south.

According to Chen Jing's plan, this time he went to Wuzhou in the southwest and near the sea, went to the Yue tribe, used tea bricks to weave hemp and rice seeds, and bartered with the Yue people.

Compared with the barbarians who drank blood, the Yue people were much gentler because they were educated due to their proximity to the Central Plains in the south. In order to ensure the mutual market on the border of Wuzhou, Mr. Da also set up a commercial house in Wuzhou to balance the prices of the mutual market.

In recent decades, the life of the Yue people, although still based on tribes, has moved closer to the Central Plains. In Da Ran's ranks, there were not only the three battalions of the Yue people, but also the towns on the border of Wuzhou, and many Yue people were doing business, mainly buying animal skins, ores and medicinal materials, as well as some relatively rare small objects.

In addition to the mountain bandits and path cutting thieves that he may encounter during the race, Chen Jing is still relieved along the way. After all, the Manshan rebellion has just been quelled, and in the six southern states, it can also inspire people.

took Xing Xiaojiu and asked Sun Xiong to take a carriage to follow, and at noon, the three of them entered Dengfeng City.

"Sun Xiong, you also ran to the horse gang at the beginning, you first recognize the horse goods, and after I finish the matter, I will come to look for you."

"Where is the proprietor going?"

"Go to the official shop."

Left and right also entered the city, and after being promoted to county magistrate, they also had to be re-entered into the nationality register. At this point, according to Da Ran's regulations, Chen Jing needs to be present, and when the record is completed, he will take a new tooth card.

What Chen Jing didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the official workshop, he suddenly saw an acquaintance.

Wu Zhong, the little official, was holding a stack of files, ready to enter the warehouse. After seeing Chen Jing, Wu Zhong's face became extremely complicated.

He also knew about Chen Jing's promotion to county magistrate. This little wrongdoer, who went to Manshan and did not die, but made a first contribution, and said it to dare to believe?

"Wu Officer, I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Jing narrowed his eyes and stepped closer.

This gang of village cubs, in the previous days, did not cause him much trouble. Fortunately, he was successfully promoted to county magistrate.

"Chen Jing, what do you want? Want to get me? Wu Zhong raised his head unwillingly, his voice was extremely gloomy, "You don't go to inquire, the name of this county uncle, the six states in the south are in the sea, you don't have to laugh too early!" ”

"Do you have a Wu official?"

"Hmph." Wu Zhong snorted coldly and prepared to walk away.

"Da Ran has a law, I, Chen Jing, am now a knight, you are a small official in the official house, you are so bold, dare to open your mouth and scold me! It just so happened that I was making trouble in the official shop! ”

Hearing only this sentence, Wu Zhong's face turned pale, and he honestly said that the group of uncles in Wu Village spent 3,000 taels of silver to let him take up a public office, and he was looking forward to being promoted in the future.

If Chen Jing wants to make such a fuss, he can't really cause trouble and burn himself.

"Wu ...... Wu Zhong has seen Lord Chen! Putting down the file, Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and hurriedly shouted.

Chen Jing smiled faintly, "If you are free, go back to Wu Village and tell Wu Dong those cubs, if you come to provoke me again, I will really kill you." ”

Wu Zhong had a cold face, did not answer, and coldly clenched his fists. is still the same sentence, the Liangzi of Wucun and Chenjiamazhuang has already been settled. It's a pity that he tried his best to get Chen Jing on the military register, but he didn't expect that this thief not only did not die, but also made a military exploit in Manshan.

"Owner, why don't you get killed? These village cubs have always been annoying. Xing Xiaojiu was beside him, scolding.

"It's not time yet." Chen Jing shook his head. In a clan village like Wu Village, the power is intertwined, and it is not only Wu Zhong who is a small official in public office, who is really anxious, and it is impossible to say that both sides will lose.

Slowing down his thoughts, Chen Jing stepped into the official workshop.

It's still that old official, when he first came to Dengfeng City before, Chen Jing was also given a sum of silver. But now, with the title of county earl, this old official is much more polite when he even speaks.

"Dare to ask your lordship, how much knighthood should the county uncle exercise?"

After entering the household registration and listening to Chen Jing's words, the old official said in astonishment, "What you asked, in the six southern states, there are not a hundred but eighty county uncles like you. Knighthood...... Probably exempt from taxation and forced labor, not in vain. Of course, if you have more money, you can raise a priest. Let me remind you, in the six southern states, even if Mr. Big changes the law, this thief is only a lot more. ”

At the bottom of Chen Jing's heart, he was inevitably a little disappointed. He understood the meaning of the old official's words. The matter of selling a knight has already existed, and there are many rich and noble dukes, who spend some silver to buy a knighthood, and the right to be an official is by his side.

Like him, who was promoted by a military exploit, there has not been a second one in the past ten years.

"If you have any money, you will come to the city to open a few shops, make friends with the powerful and start a business, and when you have time, you will have a cup of tea and listen to a song. When you see the little lady of the family, you will throw two ingots of silver, and more girls will follow you. Hey, you've been living for decades, and you've been in a honey pot for a while. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Jing's face was calm.

His life should not stop at a county uncle, nor should it be absurdly rotten. His road should be in the distance, in the Jin Ge Iron Horse, in the grassland and snow mountains, in the surprise of Song Yu Wangfu Jackie Chan.

……

When he walked out of the official square at noon and passed by Sheep Killing Alley, Chen Jing paused.

In this bloody old alley, with Yang Qibao's travels, he can no longer see the small temple, and no longer hear the sound of knocking on wooden fish.

The sheep slaughterers in Sheep Killing Alley, after a period of nagging, can no longer remember the master Yuansheng who wants to dissolve the bloody gas, talking and laughing and busy working, peeling off the sheepskin one by one on the bamboo pole, waiting for the wind to blow, the whole old alley, the bloody gas is full of nose.
