The Prosperous Era of Longwan

After school in the afternoon, after leaving the private school, Wei Guangde still had a stern face, because he was slapped on the palm by his master again today. As for the reason, of course it was because of the calligraphy he wrote, and he didn't get much palming in a few days.

Now the writing thing has almost become Wei Guangde's inner demon, and he has been beaten by his master for two days in a row.

"Yutou, you've just been punished by this master for two days, don't take it to heart, just write with your heart tomorrow."

Seeing Wei Guangde's unhappy appearance after walking out of the private school, his follower Zhang Ji spoke.

Before Wei Guangde could speak, someone spoke next to him.

"I don't think so. Yu Tou is probably angry with Chen Youcai's grandson."

"That grandson is nothing. He belongs to a thousand-household family, and he actually becomes a follower of a big family. It's a shame."

Zhang Ji also echoed.

Wei Guangde looked around at his friends, shook his head and said nothing.

Zhang Ji is the son of Zhang Dayong and General Qi of the Hundred Household Institute. Zhang Dayong can also be regarded as Wei Meng's confidant. He was raised by Xiao Qi, and the remaining few are similar, except that their fathers are both Xiao Qi and their fathers. confidant.

The Chen Youcai they were talking about belonged to the general banner family of the Hundred Household Office next door. In the eyes of these half-grown children, they were all from the guard station and they should stand on one side. However, this Chen Youcai followed the town. Several wealthy locals came close.

As for why these military households had conflicts with the wealthy locals in the town, this is actually easy to understand. There are often disputes over farm boundaries, but they just fight back and forth, with no good results for both sides.

Magistrate Pengze is just a wandering official. He doesn't want to get involved in the conflict between the military leaders and the local gentry. They are local snakes and are not easy to mess with.

Although the civil servants are now powerful, when it comes to land, the Weisuo side will not be ambiguous.

It doesn't matter if a military attaché meets a civilian official and bows to him. It doesn't matter if the military pay allocated by the local government is divided up by the civilian officials. After all, the money is in their hands, but the land is actually military land. If you want to take advantage of them, that's not okay. .

Nowadays, the officers of the guard station are still counting on the output of those lands to make some income. After all, the military salary is small. If the military attachés want to live comfortably, they can only count on those fields.

It was also because of this that there were several conflicts between Bengshan Baihu Office and several squires in the town.

But fortunately, it is very important for these squire families to have only one scholar. If someone really gets through the exam and becomes a Jinshi, even if it is just a promotion, I guess Father Wei will have to tolerate it.

Those rural squires didn't have much talent in their families, which was one of the reasons why Mr. Wei dared to make trouble with them.

Wei Guangde knew about this and heard what his brother Wei Wencai said. Although he had some memories of his previous life, he was still a child after all and did not care about such things.

After Wei Guangde came through, he thought about his future. This is a feudal society with distinct classes. If he wants to live a good life, he still needs to be more cautious.

After resting at home for a few days and settling down, Wei Guangde became very concerned about Baihusuo and the surrounding environment. He might have to stay here for the rest of his life, unless he could get the honors and become a scholar, or even become a scholar or Jinshi, and enter Go into the ruling class.

In his previous life, Wei Guangde was a person who did not want to make progress. He did not study hard and felt that he did not have that talent.

With the expansion of the city, my family became a demolition household, and from then on, there was no more hardship.

I went to a third-rate university, which was actually a junior college, and then I found a job and lived carelessly. My salary was pocket money and I saved the rent.

In fact, he didn't save it himself, his parents saved it for him. Now that he thinks about it, all that money will belong to his brother in the future, as will the two houses.

Walking in the town, he passed by a small food stall. Wei Guangde felt a little hungry. Thinking of the copper coins he got in the morning, he simply bought a few tea cakes and ate them one by one while walking.

Walk out of the town and walk back along the road you came from along the river.

These days, there are no entertainment venues in the town. In fact, everyone's life is similar, very monotonous.

There are teahouses and restaurants in the county where you can listen to books and watch plays. I think there will be no shortage of fireworks in Liuxiang. However, it is still a bit far away from the current Wei Guangde. It is still a bit uncomfortable for him to enjoy these colorful lives. Reality.

In the past few mornings, Wei Guangde also paid attention. Although he was half a child, his thoughts had experienced the impact of the information explosion in later generations. He understood many things that his peers in this era did not understand. In that life, he did everything with real guns and live ammunition. Pass.

Unfortunately, when he woke up, he found that there was no tent set up, so Wei Guangde was not confident that he could do anything in such a place.

I'm still an eleven-year-old kid.

Wei Guangde also knew that the government banned that industry, but this industry has existed since ancient times. Its existence is justice, and it must have its reasons.

For more than ten miles, a few little guys chatted, laughed, and wandered. Finally, they saw the stone castle in the distance and were about to reach home.

"Wow, there are so many boats, they are our guards' boats."

Wei Guangde heard the sound and turned his head to look towards the river. Sure enough, from a distance he saw a long series of large and small warships going down the river. A large flag was hung on the bow of the leading ship, with the four characters "Edict to King Qin" written below. With the name of Jiujiang Wei.

At this time, there was an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going on the river, but when they saw such a huge fleet, they all avoided it and did not dare to compete.

"It's true, it's from Jiujiang Wei."

Several little guys saw the grand scene on the river, and they immediately started chattering non-stop.

Wei Guangde knew that his father was probably in the fleet, but he was far away and could not be seen, but he was also shocked.

How urgent this must be!

We traveled all night to gather back together last night and set off this afternoon. In other words, Mr. Wei took the team there and only rested for half a day before boarding the ship and setting off.

Wei Guangde was really not familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty and had not studied it carefully. He only knew some things about the Ming Dynasty from watching TV novels.

At least, he really had no idea what happened in the capital in the 29th year of Jiajing.

Dozens of large and small warships soon caught up with them from behind and then continued to move forward.

The few little guys watched silently as the fleet failed to pass, and stopped talking. They must have thought of something.

"It's already this time. Can they get to Anqing tonight?"

At this time, Zhang Ji behind him suddenly spoke, breaking the temporary calm.

It took a while before someone said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The best we can do is go to Wangjiang. It's more than a hundred miles away from Anqing. It's not safe to sail at night."

"Well, it probably won't make it to Anqing."

Anqing is the south gate of Nanzhili, and Jiujiang where they are located is called the north gate of Jiangxi. After Anqing is Wuhu, and then Yingtianfu, from where you can enter the Grand Canal.
