71. Ready to go to the capital(1/2)
This time, Jiang Zhen took his two boats and basically only wandered around Hecheng County. Many places he and Wang Haisheng went to were directly there, so it was relatively safe.
But it was his first time going out, so he had a lot of things to be busy with.
After dinner, Jiang Zhen got up after a while, and at this time, their boat slowly approached the city.
While staying on the boat, Jiang Zhen's men found it very novel and no one was bored. But when the boat landed, Jiang Zhen asked them to move some goods that could be moved off the boat in advance and arranged for people to watch, some of them were unhappy.
Of course that person is Liu Heitou.
"It's already evening, why do you still have to work?" Liu Heitou was a little dissatisfied.
"You can ignore it, and you can't follow me... Do you think it's difficult for me to find a few people to do things for me?" Jiang Zhen looked over with a sneer.
He had nothing before, and no one would come if he wanted to recruit people. In addition, he was afraid that Liu Heitou's group would cause trouble for him if he didn't deal with it, so he accepted this group of people, but after that...
In fact, it is better for those who work hard like the Wang Haisheng and the He brothers, right?
As soon as Jiang Zhen said this, Liu Heitou's heart was shocked.
He was a vengeful person, so he felt that Jiang Zhen was most likely like this. He followed Jiang Zhen, and there were so many people watching him. In order not to let his subordinates feel disappointed, he couldn't do anything to him, but if he left here...
That guy Jiang Zhen has seen blood!
Liu Heitou immediately stopped talking.
When others heard Jiang Zhen’s words, they were also shocked. When they thought about it carefully, they found that Jiang Zhen was quite right.
Nowadays, the most deficient thing is people. With the treatment given by Jiang Zhen, it is very simple to recruit people in the future, but they... If they don’t become thugs, what can they do if they don’t become thugs here?
These people immediately worked hard.
Jiang Zhen was very satisfied with this and thought that the punishment and reward measures should be improved more, and then do things casually and just drive them out.
Many of the goods were moved off the ship in advance and placed in an open place. Jiang Zhen arranged for people to guard it and went back to the ship.
Brother Zhao Jin also helped to count the goods. When he arrived in the room, Jiang Zhen held his hand: "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Zhao Jin Ge said, this job is really nothing to him.
Although Brother Zhao Jin said he was not tired, this was their first time going out. Jiang Zhen did not plan to do anything that night... The result...
"Jiang Zhen, you said you would teach me tonight...what do you want to teach me?" Brother Zhao Jin looked at Jiang Zhen curiously.
Jiang Zhen wanted to teach Brother Zhao Jin, of course, it was a way to prevent the bed from shaking.
For example... Brother Zhao Jin squatted on him and moved by himself.
Brother Zhao Jin was actually very tolerant. He felt that he was already very proactive, but for Jiang Zhen, he was absolutely shy.
Of course, having a shy partner is not bad. Jiang Zhen actually enjoys developing Zhao Jin a little bit, let alone Zhao Jin always cooperates with him very much...
This time, the two of them really didn't make any sound, so they had to wait until everything was over. When Brother Zhao got off him, his legs became weak and made a "bang". However, this sound was too common on the boat and would never make others doubt anything.
Jiang Zhen felt it was a pity.
Brother Zhao also felt it was a pity. The location was not very good, and all the things leaked out after the work was done, which was not suitable for pregnancy.
Thinking of this, Brother Zhao touched his stomach again.
"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach? I'll help you clean it up?" Jiang Zhen said. He remembered that after he finished it, he should have to clean it up, otherwise he would easily have diarrhea.
He was too excited and forgot the first time, and later he thought about doing this, but Brother Zhao was not happy... He saw that Brother Zhao did not have diarrhea, so he did not force him.
This is probably because Shuang'er's structure is a bit different from that of a man, but unfortunately he didn't see any difference at all.
"No need." Brother Zhao Jin said quickly, how can I clean it up at this time? His mother said, it's best to lie flat and not move.
Brother Zhao Jin wiped himself and lay down. Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhen also reached out and touched Brother Zhao Jin's belly: "You think, will there be children inside?"
"I don't know either, but the villagers said before that I probably won't have children." Brother Zhao Jin was a little disappointed.
"It's okay, take your time." Jiang Zhen kissed Brother Zhao Jin. He thought it would be nice to have no children.
It's already very hot today and the cabin is even hotter. Although they are all used to the heat, they just finished a exercise and it's not a good time.
Brother Zhao Jin took a fan and slowly fanned himself and Jiang Zhen. As he shook, he was tired and fell asleep unknowingly.
Jiang Zhen took the fan, slapped him for a while, then threw away the fan, and went to sleep with him.
The next day, the merchants from Fucheng were all coming off the boat. At the same time, Jiang Zhen asked someone to go to the dock to earn a few laps and brought back a few merchants who were going to the same place as their route.
Those merchants are willing to take a big ship after paying some money. After all, in the Jiangnan area, large groups of water bandits are rare, which means... it is basically safe to take a big ship.
Because he had already moved the goods off the ship last night, this day was not as busy as Jiang Zhen thought. After lunch, he took time to take Brother Zhao Jin to stroll.
He told Wang Haisheng and the He brothers to take the boat out, so Jiang Zhen took Zhao Jin out.
"The boss is so nice to Brother Zhao Jin. I really can't tell that he loves his wife so much." Someone came over to talk to the He brothers.
He Chunsheng nodded and sighed. If he had known that Jiang Zhen was so good, he would have betrothed his younger brother to Jiang Zhen as soon as possible... Unfortunately, it was too late now.
"By the way, He Chunsheng, I heard that you have a Shuang'er brother who looks very handsome... Look at me, how do you look like me? I swear, I will love my wife as much as Boss Jiang!" the man said again.
He Chunsheng's face was dark. This man looked so ugly, but he still dared to think about his younger brother?
Thinking of this, He Chunsheng couldn't help but glar at Liu Heitou again.
He Chunsheng and Liu Heitou have a great grudge, but because Liu Heitou went to the He family to grab people, he only brought his own cousins, so He Chunsheng had no conflicts with others. He just disliked Liu Heitou, and He Xiasheng even stared at Liu Heitou all day long.
Being stared at this... Liu Heitou felt quite safe. At least this means that these people did not intend to tie him up and throw him into the river, right?
Jiang Zhen went to buy a few pieces of cloth, and then found the tailor who helped him make clothes before, and entrusted her to make two flags.
His escort agency is about to be opened, and there are still many things to be done. First of all, the escort flag needs to be done.
"What words should be embroidered on it?" the tailor asked.
"Just embroider the word 'Zhen'." Jiang Zhen said, and then put forward some suggestions.
Leaving from the tailor, Zhao Jin Ge looked at Jiang Zhen excitedly: "You really want to open an escort agency?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "We can't always stay in the countryside." In fact, if it were in modern times, Jiang Zhen wouldn't mind being an ordinary person. After all, ordinary people have food and drink, and their lives are not bad, and they generally don't encounter any dangers.
But this was in ancient times.
If you stay in the countryside and do nothing, who knows if you will die when a disaster will cause you?
Just say that in another ten or twenty years, he will not be as strong as he is now. He is old and weak. If he had a conscription order at that time, would he be taken to join the army?
Maybe he has some money and can be exempted from military service, but if the county magistrate of Hecheng County changes to someone who loves to make money, can he maintain his family business if he has no background?
Even if these things are not... The Great Qi has existed for hundreds of years, and it may be that the dynasty will change at any time. If they are just ordinary people, they will definitely be able to be slaughtered.
Jiang Zhen thought a little far away. Seeing that Brother Zhao Jin was puzzled, he slowly started talking to him.
Brother Zhao Jin had limited vision before and had never thought about this. Now that he heard Jiang Zhen say it, he realized that he had thought too little before.
"But these are all nonsense, maybe we won't encounter any problems." Seeing Brother Zhao Jin's face full of confusion, Jiang Zhen put his hand on his shoulder and pinched it.
Jiang Zhen took Brother Zhao Jin to eat a sweet bowl of lotus root powder in the mansion city, which looked crystal clear after soaking, and bought another sesame cake for him to eat. Brother Zhao Jin wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the story Jiang Zhen told yesterday, he held back.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen was in a good mood and took a bite of the sesame cake in front of him.
He is no longer as poor as he was at the beginning. He is not good at eating delicacies and silks, but it doesn’t matter if he buys some small things on the street.
Their ship left the capital city the next day and headed for the next county town, and all aspects were on track.
It was at this time that Jiang Zhen began to teach Zhao Jinge to memorize multiplication formulas and Arabic numerals.
There are no Arabic numerals in this Daqi, but Jiang Zhen felt that it would be more convenient to use numbers if he wanted to learn mathematics, so he handed it over to Brother Zhao Jin and gave him a lot of arithmetic problems of addition and subtraction for Brother Zhao Jin to do.
At this time, people almost didn't learn mathematics and had to beat their fingers to count things. It was actually very difficult for Brother Zhao to learn these things, but he never gave up. He learned very seriously and could even help Jiang Zhen in many aspects.
Jiang Zhen taught him more energy, and at the same time he also studied hard every day, trying not to write out words that are missing and lacking legs when writing...
This time I went out, I stayed outside for nearly twenty days.
Jiang Zhen originally thought that this trip would be worth at least a few dozen taels, but the fact was not the case. After this trip, he not only did not make any money, but instead posted a little...
However, this is not because the business is not profitable. On the contrary, this business makes a lot of money. After deducting the cost, Jiang Zhen can earn nearly 100 taels of silver. However, at the beginning, he forgot to calculate the expenses required to settle in various places.
In several of the county towns, as soon as his ship stopped, a yamen runner came to ask, making some money here and there... Although it only costs a few taels of silver every time, it will spend all the profits.
But this is a good start, and he has managed it once, so he doesn't need to buy so much money next time. It's enough to give someone a tael of silver and let someone drink when they meet someone.
When he returned to Hecheng County, Jiang Zhen not only brought back all the merchants he took out, but also brought back some merchants and goods from other places.
Two large ships stopped at the dock, and immediately someone started loading and unloading the goods. It was very lively. At this moment, Yang Jiang came: "Boss!"
"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Zhen looked at Yang Jiang.
"Boss, Master Zheng asked me to wait for you to come back here. He wanted to see you." Yang Jiang said.
Master Zheng naturally couldn't neglect when he wanted to see someone. Jiang Zhen said to his subordinates and immediately found someone.
After going to Zheng's house to inquire with the concierge, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge entered the Zheng family again and then met Master Zheng.
Zheng Yi's first impression on Jiang Zhen was that he was a slutty boy, but this time he was dressed neatly, and he was very energetic in his body, and his eyebrows were full of confidence.
Obviously, Zheng Yi has encountered a good thing.
Zheng Yi did encounter good things. He had already prepared the cards for almost the same thing. He had hidden the good things that had been in hiding for two months and finally could see the light.
In addition... he suddenly realized that Jiang Zhen had more ideas than he thought.
To be continued...
