Another month has passed, the weather is getting colder, the north has entered the winter early, and the people of Puzhou have begun to light the fire kang.

Under the management of Pang Weifeng, Pang Kee has developed rapidly in an orderly manner, and all businesses have been greatly improved. Coupled with the marketing concept of Gao Jie, the later generations, the business of the firm has done well, from time to time to launch preferential activities, advertising has been continuous, the name of the firm soon spread throughout the whole territory of Shanxi, and many Jin merchants also began to follow the business mode of Pang Ji firm, and initially formed a modern marketing concept.

In addition to the rapid progress of the original business, the substantial expansion of the official salt business has put the development of Pang Kee firm on the fast track, in the envy of other businessmen in Puzhou, the mighty Pang Kee business caravan shuttles through the local salt pond and the sea salt field in the coastal area, not only operating the pool salt of Shanxi Nuyan Pond, but also taking into account the sea salt of Shandong. The production of salt in the Ming Dynasty was very high, and as long as the salt merchants had a large enough caravan and enough salt introduction, it was difficult for them not to make a fortune.

These days, while Gao Jie is carefully developing his business, he has not let go of the cultivation of martial arts, whether it is Wuwei palm or Hua Huazhi, he has made great progress, especially after the battle at the foot of Jiufeng Mountain, not only the secret method of "one heart and two uses" taught by Ali has been integrated by a small half, but also because of Jiao Miao's distress, Gao Jie's brain has been strongly stimulated, and even the six life control realm of "White Lotus Nine Lives" has also taken a step further, the storage of mental power has become more and more deep, and the weight of objects that can be driven out of thin air is increasing day by day.

Because Fulin Garden is too big and has a lot of rooms, Gao Jie and his partners all live in a compound, and even Zhao Xun's father and daughter, who joined later, have been divided into two rooms here.

Because when Gao Jie used the power of his mind to practice the method of taking things from the air, his room would often hear the chaotic sound of pots and pans falling from mid-air to the ground due to the exhaustion of his mental power, Pang Weifeng and other neighbors all regarded him as a child with "ADHD", and he was equated with another strange Ji Longfeng.

Since Ji Longfeng was inadvertently awakened by Gao Jie, he has been in a state of nervousness from time to time, first tortured an old hen to the point that all his hair has fallen out, and now he has grabbed two big roosters from Gao Jie's chicken farm, and played cockfighting from time to time, making the chickens and dogs jump in the yard. He even climbed on the roof on a thunderstorm day, tilted his head stupidly, observed the lightning flash, and listened to the thunder, which really didn't look like a normal person.

However, after a long time, the neighbors are not surprised, and they are used to it, and now even when Zhao Jing's little beauty walks around in the yard, even if she encounters a UFO passing by out of thin air, or falling nearby, she can not be surprised;

Among these neighbors, there is only one person who has been paying attention to the abnormalities of these two, and that is Ali.

Ali is a master of the intermediate realm of high-level martial artists, and he can't find a second one in the whole Puzhou, so he naturally understands that Gao Jie and Ji Longfeng are actually in a state of "enlightenment", so he often tells others not to disturb when these two people are "nervous".

Moreover, during the daily sparring time, Ali could feel the speed of Gao Jie and Ji Longfeng's progress, and he also tried his best to guide their techniques and moves.

Seeing that the business of the firm was booming, it could really be said that it was making money every day, and at this time, Gao Jie also felt that it was time to temporarily leave Puzhou and continue to go north to Beijing.

Before he could discuss with everyone, Yu Hongzhi came to the door.

Because the business of Pang Kee is getting bigger and bigger, the news from all over the world is getting smoother and smoother.

The "miracle doctor" Xu Hongru was ordered by Wang Haoxian, the successor leader of the Wenxiang Sect, to start an incident in August, but because he was reported by a traitor, he had to revolt in Xujiazhuang in advance in May. The rebel army occupied Yuncheng, the area of Liangjialou at the junction of Juye, supported Xu Hongru as Emperor Fulie of Zhongxing, established the name of Mahayana Xingsheng, established official positions, and established political power.

The rebels wrapped red scarves on their heads, with more than 10,000 people, and successively captured Yuncheng, Juye and other places. At the same time, other leaders of the White Lotus Sect, such as Shen Zhi, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Khan Bai, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, and Meng Xianhan, also captured Teng County, Zou County, Yi County (southeast of Zaozhuang) and other county towns and Xia Town, the main road of Caoyun, and attacked Yanzhou, Qufu, Tancheng and other places, and soon controlled the vast area on both sides of the canal in Shandong, intercepted Caoyun, and repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the official army.

Due to the lack of preparation for the uprising, and the Ming court sent a large army to fight together, Wang Haoxian, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, changed his order again, refusing to admit that the Wenxiang Sect had launched the rebellion, and Xu Hongru's rebel army was cut off from support. In July, the friendly armies were defeated one after another, and Yuncheng and Juye were lost. Under the unfavorable conditions of the situation, Xu Hongru and others still stuck to Zou County and Teng County to contend with the officials and troops. The Ming army mobilized a large number of officers and troops from Shandong, Beizhili and other places to surround Xu Hongru's army in Teng County.

Yu Hongzhi has followed Xu Hongru for many years, has a deep relationship, and after getting the news, he came to resign to Gao Jie and decided to go to Teng County to help. Because now Gao Jie has masters like Ali and Ji Longfeng by his side, Yu Hongzhi feels that the security guards should be guaranteed, and Xu Hongru will need him more at this time, Gao Jie is also very nervous about Xu Hongru's safety, but there is a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting, and it is not something he can participate in, so he nodded and agreed that Yu Hongzhi went to help, but told him to pay attention to his own safety while protecting Xu Hongru, and he must come back alive.

After everyone said goodbye to Yu Hongzhi, Gao Jie was a little sullen.

When he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he thought that he could live peacefully with his family, and then he thought that as long as he could protect his family and friends, he felt powerless, but when he saw Xu Hongru in a desperate situation now, he suddenly found that as he had more and more friends and more and more abilities, his goals had to be higher and higher. Gao Jie even had a premonition that one day, he would involuntarily and unconsciously participate in the wave of turmoil and become a trendsetter. Although he didn't want to, who can say for sure?

Thinking about it, Gao Jie couldn't help but shudder, now his parents followed Zhu Youzhen to the capital, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in the past ten years, but when a generation of heroes Li Zicheng rises, wouldn't it be dangerous for his parents to follow Zhu Youzhen? But what about the cheap brother Zhu Youzhen? He is the future emperor, should he also take him away?

The more Gao Jie thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he walked out of his room, strolling through the orange grove.

In the orange orchard, after Gao Jie's design, the construction was reconstructed, and several places for people to rest were added, not only paved with green bricks, placed wooden couches and small coffee tables, but also held up large umbrellas on rainy days. I have to say that this orange orchard was really unusual in the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Gao Jie was obviously very satisfied with his design, walking, his irritability gradually subsided, his mood calmed down, and his thinking gradually became clear and agile: "If you want to really protect your family and friends, in addition to improving your own martial arts, you must have more capable arms, you must have stronger economic strength, and even, you should have your own army......"

Thinking of this, Gao Jie couldn't help but be startled by his thoughts, creating an army, can this really be done?!

While thinking wildly, Gao Jie suddenly stopped, and not far away, two people were sitting side by side on the sofa, burying their heads in whispering.

Gao Jie recognized the backs of these two people at a glance, and it was Jiao Miao and Zhao Jing who were so close to each other!

Gao Jie secretly admired: "We really underestimated this nerd, it turns out that he is very good at raising his sister! In just one month, he has soaked the big beauty Zhao Jing in his hands, it is really unseemly, this nerd, I will be impressed in the future!"

In the sigh, Gao Jie quietly walked behind the two of them, and was about to scare them, but he heard Jiao Miao say coldly: "Gao Jie, don't come nonsense!"

Gao Jie was shouted to break through the hidden line, and the sneak attack failed, and he suddenly felt bored, and pouted: "You are so boring and not fun! How did you find out about me?"

At this time, Zhao Jing found out that Gao Jie was coming, and stood up with a red face, at a loss. And Jiao Miao still didn't look like he had anything to do, calmly pointed to Gao Jie's shadow, and then said indifferently: "Don't you have to wait for you to succeed in your tricks, so that I can be interesting and fun?!"

Gao Jie was speechless, too lazy to pay attention to him, then shifted the target, looked at Zhao Jing with a smile and said, "Miss Zhao, why are you blushing, could it be ......?"

Zhao Jing lost her mother since she was a child, and she has been learning the art of mechanism with her father, and her obsession and understanding have surpassed Zhao Xun.

Gao Jie couldn't believe it, Zhao Jing had a total of hundreds of organs, more than 700 large and small hidden weapons, although this little beauty was quiet and delicate, beautiful as a fairy, but once she encountered danger, she would immediately become a dangerous person covered in thorns, holding a genuine rose with thorns.

It's just that in front of relatives and friends, she is just a good girl. Zhao Jing heard Gao Jie's teasing words, her pretty face became more and more red, and she was so shy that she didn't know where to put her hands.

Jiao Miao also hurriedly stood up and said, "Gao Jie, don't talk nonsense, we are studying!"

Gao Jie laughed and said, "Eh, I understand, you are studying the ...... of falling in love" Before he finished the ridicule, he suddenly saw something on the coffee table, and the following words also came to him.

There were several drawings on the low coffee table, and the handcuffs that Jiao Miao carried with him were also impressive.

"So you two are doing scientific research! It seems that I really misunderstood, hehe!" Gao Jie quickly apologized, and then sat on a chair opposite and asked, "What are you researching?"

Zhao Jing slowly calmed down, but she was embarrassed to sit on the same sofa with Jiao Miao in front of Gao Jie, so she moved another chair from the side and sat on the coffee table.

Jiao Miao also sat down slowly, pointed to the drawings and said, "Miss Zhao's mechanism skills are superb, and she has put forward a lot of suggestions for improving my firearm design!"

Zhao Jingqiao's face turned red again, and she hurriedly said: "I don't know much about firearms, I can't help much, Brother Jiao has a good reputation!"

Gao Jie picked up the handcuff thoughtfully, and suddenly a bold idea popped into him.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes turned around on Jiao Miao and Zhao Jing's faces, and after seeing the two of them with a chill, he said excitedly: "I have a peerless good idea, and I need the two of you to cooperate to complete it together!"
