Chapter six hundred and eighty fourth
Zhenhai in the first month of the year was very lively, and all kinds of strange things that were unseen in the future appeared. Qian Yuan occasionally led Xiaoqi and the little sister sneaked out, and he was dumbfounded.
To put it nicely, this is the demand for spiritual civilization by the masses after material enrichment. To put it more popular, everyone has a lot more copper plates in their pockets than before.
But unlike other cities, the old city of Zhenhai, new city, and even outside the city, the most common things are all kinds of novel foods... Well, Sun Ying once ridiculed this for the change brought by Qian Yuan.
Although Qian Yuan refused to admit it, Qian Jiajiao, Qian's taro, beheaded golden rods and so on are everywhere.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Liang Sheng, who finally returned to Zhenhai after half a year, and Hong Hou and others were celebrating. Speaking of which, in addition to excellent training and weapons and equipment, the most popular guards of the Qian family were food... And in the past few months, Liang Sheng and other guards have eaten military rations and can only fill their stomachs.
After leaving the dock, Liang Sheng sniffed his nose... The familiar smell was so familiar that he immediately found an acquaintance. The chef who worked in the Qianjia Restaurant in Zhenhai included all his inventory in one breath.
Then, dozens of guards, pig's trotters in their left hand and thighs in their right hand, were so chewed that they were filled with oil.
"Don't be polite, Qian's family's grilled hoofs are awesome in Zhenhai!"
Lin Feng took the paper bag stuffed by Liang Sheng with laughter and tears. He was about to go to Beijing to take the exam. This time Liang Sheng returned to Zhenhai, he simply followed him and visited Qian Longquan, who had long heard of his name.
Walk along the road, there are fine gravel roads, sidewalks, and car roads under your feet are clearly divided and orderly. There are all kinds of shops on both sides, selling all kinds of groceries, and setting up various samples for merchants to choose from.
But during the New Year, there are more foodies. Lin Feng felt that his eyes were not enough. The key was that many of them were never seen before, such as the candied haws that Liang Sheng bought after eating pig's trotters.
Along the way, there were many people greeting Liang Sheng and other guards. A young man waved from afar, "Brother Liang, why did you come back? You don't rush back to celebrate the New Year."
"Don't mention it, there are so many things on the road." Liang Sheng threw over a pack of undivided pig's trotters, "Have you taken it?"
"I have been picked up for a long time, and I can't rest. I have divided a few acres of official fields..." The young man smiled and ate the pig's trotters, hurriedly ran back, and stuffed them with a package, "Dried sweet potatoes, taste them, this time I went to Jiangxi, everyone was thin..."
"That's right, it turns out that big fish and meat are big every day. In Jiangxi for more than two months, my mother may not be able to eat enough food, and she has to replenish her when she comes back." Liang Sheng threw the package to Lin Feng, "I'll drink again and leave."
"Brother Liang is away."
Lin Feng was carrying the package in one hand and holding the candied haws in the other hand. He turned around curiously and saw that the man had four fingers missing in his left hand and limped while walking.
Liang Sheng glanced at the squint and said casually: "The year before yesterday, the main force of the Japanese pirates did not move. Xu Hai dispatched two thousand Japanese pirates to attack Shangyu County. The young master laid ambushes and used the Qian family's guards as the skeleton to select warriors from the Yiwu soldiers. A total of two hundred people were wearing iron armor and holding double blades, and swept two thousand Japanese pirates within a quarter of an hour."
"Then he?"
"He was a Yiwu soldier under General Qi Shen, who killed more than ten Japanese pirates and made great contributions. However, four fingers on his left hand were cut by a knife, his right leg was injured, and a transparent hole was stabbed by a gun in his stomach." Liang Sheng laughed and said, "Later, Zhenhai established a city to trade, and the young master lacked manpower, so he arranged for him to manage the business here."
"Staff?" Lin Feng bit half of the candied haws and asked hesitantly: "Carding a cashier?"
"How is that possible!" Hong Hou, who was standing beside him, interrupted: "The sidewalks and roadways are separated, and the roads are clean, and you have to check whether you want to build roads from time to time."
"Who pays the money?"
"The county government office." Liang Sheng said, "I don't know if the sweet potatoes have been checked in the middle and south."
After Lin Feng gnawed the last candied haws, he groped and took out a few dried sweet potatoes from the package, bit them and chewed them, sweet... and then one after another, one after another.
"Liang Sheng!"
A shout came from a distance, and two or three knights came towards the horse, the leader was wearing an official robe and a sword around his waist.
"Who is that?"
"Shut up later... That's Ningbo Promoter Wu Ding'an."
"Oh, I know." Lin Feng stopped taking out the dried sweet potatoes. He did know this person.
The war in Liangzhe lasted for many years, and after the Japanese invasion in Fujian, most of the civil and military generals and officials who had achieved success were transferred from Liangzhe, which brought a lot of news about the war in Zhejiang.
Among them, Wu Chengqi is a special person because he is not a military general, but a civil servant, and he is a civil servant without fame.
Some people once accused Wu Chengqi of being valued by the Governor Hu Ruzhen because of his origin in Huizhou, but the governor of Fujian Wu Baipeng praised this person as both civil and military, and as a talented man in the country.
Lin Feng carefully looked at Wu Chengqi who was rolling over and dismounting. He remembered that the two hundred soldiers in the Shangyu victory mentioned just now, and Wu Chengqi was the leader.
Before Wu Chengqi was promoted to Taizhou Promotional Officer, he had been in charge of his personal soldiers by Hu Ruzhen and was very familiar with the leaders of the Qian family guards such as Wang Yi, Yang Wen, Liang Sheng, and Zhang San.
After chatting casually, Wu Chengqi's hearty laughter came, accompanied by Liang Sheng's repeated nods.
"Don't mention it, I've been busy since I was a child." Wu Chengqi looked at Lin Feng behind Liang Sheng, frowned but didn't ask anything, and just said, "Go back quickly, Mr. Longquan also said that he could come back before the New Year."
The group walked along the road into the south gate of the old city. Lin Feng couldn't help but whisper: "It's really twenty stones per mu?"
There are strange things in Zhenhai that can replace grains, be drought-resistant and easy to survive, and produce 20 stones per mu. Although there is no official news about this, it has been spread in the southeast in private, and forest hydrocarbons have heard of this incident several times in Min County.
"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Censor of the Censorate, and the Six Departments all went south to inspect." Liang Sheng whispered the news he had just heard, "The yield per mu is about 12 to 17 shi. It is said to be related to the season. The Ministry of Revenue is preparing to try planting in various places... It's the one in your hands."
Lin Feng was stunned and looked at the dried sweet potatoes in the package in his arms. Liang Sheng grabbed two handfuls, chewed them and said with a smile: "The taste is really good, chewy."
The old city is a little crowded than the new city, but there are much less people. The guards lined up in neat rows and headed west. The merchants on the roadside could recognize this as the Qian family's guard at a glance, but Lin Feng, wearing a Confucian shirt, was more eye-catching.
Seeing Qian Zhai from afar, Liang Sheng turned his head and whispered, "I really don't plan to live in Suiyuan?"
"With both father and brother are in the capital, how can he live?"
"Sun Wenhe, the magistrate of Zhenhai, was the Minister of Personnel and a post-Jinsheng Jinshi. Sun Wenhe and his brother Sun Wenfeng were both stationed in Suiyuan."
Lin Qun smiled and said nothing. He could not make decisions casually. Although he was still young, he had heard Li Mo mention what Suiyuan represents now. Besides, he had never seen Qian Longquan.
Just as Lin Feng was thinking about it, before Liang Sheng could call the doorman, three drums sounded, Qian House in front of him opened wide, and a young man in a blue shirt walked out slowly.
Lin Qiong was very surprised. Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng once visited the Lin family, but he did not open the middle door. The Qian family in Songjiang is no less famous in the southeast than the Lin family in Min County. Now he has become more famous in Qian Longquan. Such a family opened the middle door rashly... This is a very grand etiquette.
"Young Master."
Liang Sheng and more than 40 guards knelt down on one knee, but then stood up. Lin Feng quietly walked to the side. Recalling the way Liang Sheng said that his young master did not like to kneel down.
"Liang Sheng, come and listen."
"The guard team has a total of 62 people. Since the beginning of August, it has been 16 major and major wars, four people were killed and three disabled." Liang Sheng said loudly: "A total of more than 500 beheaded, hundreds of prisoners were captured, and six thieves were killed."
Lin Feng looked at it intently. At a glance, the young man on the steps still looked a little green and his short beard was very short, but when he looked closely, he saw that he had a very long body, his eyes were bright, his temples were like swords, and his face was filled with majesty that he dared not look at.
Although Li Mo and Liang Sheng both talked about the young man in front of him, Lin Feng felt that the latter's narration might have brought more exaggeration, but also brought more truth to him.
"Who is the most outstanding person in the world? I'll call you to report it."
"Huating Honghou led the bird gun and the tiger squat cannon to make great contributions. Liang Wanning, Taizhou, and Gutian Victory attacked on the flanks, killed more than ten thieves, killed the big flag of the bandit army, Yiwu Loushan, Yihuang Victory, took the lead in breaking the formation and climbing to the top of the city first."
Three great men took the wine bowl handed over by Qian Yuan.
Qian Yuan also picked up the wine bowl, "In front of it, it is the southeast, and you will not avoid life and death. When you enter Fujian and Jiangxi, you will be able to return victoriously. Although there is no reward in the court, the Qian family will give it generously."
