From Jiangdu to Jiankang, it is less than a hundred miles away, and it is even more convenient to take the water. You get on the boat in the early morning and you have already passed the Stone City in the afternoon.

During the Six Dynasties, Stone City was a majestic military fortress, built around Qingliang Mountain, and the responsibility of Xu Guarding was to break the Stone City first. However, at this time, the stones had been demolished, leaving only rammed earth bases. Qingliang Mountain inside also showed its lush true appearance. The scattered earth platforms on the hillside and the turquoise stone houses hidden under the green, telling the vicissitudes of history.

The water village under the city was also transformed into a dock, with crowds rushing and cargo piled up like mountains. Ships from the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River lined up, waiting to dock.

"Jiankang is worthy of being the capital of the Six Dynasties!"

Zhang Yu's beautiful eyes were shiny, and he looked at the prosperous scene of Stone City.

"Haha, what's this? Changganli is the place where Jiankang trade is prosperous. After getting off the boat, let Xiao Lang accompany you to the market by the Qinhuai River and you will be back with a full load."

Lu Wen started to tease.

With his identity, he was unable to take the initiative in the marriage, and the Zhang family had a much lower position than the Lu family. The family would not agree to marry a businessman's daughter, and he would not have a quarrel with the family about the beauty. He simply had no thoughts about Zhang Yu and treated him as a sister, and had the intention of becoming a jade.

Zhang Yu's pretty face was slightly fumigated, and she secretly looked at Xiao Ye, and was happy.

However, Wang said, "It's already afternoon. I got off the boat in Changganli. It's still several miles to go to the village. I'm afraid it's going to be dark after cleaning up. Besides, academics are important. There are still seven days left to pass the exam and the results are released, so it's enough to visit."

"Well, I just listen to my sister-in-law."

Zhang Yu nodded. As long as he could be with Xiao Ye, it didn't matter whether he was shopping or not.

The ship continued to rise, approaching the shore in Changganli, and along the intersection of the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River, it stretched for more than ten miles, and was a dock freight yard. Even though Xiao Ye came from modern times, he was shocked to see this scene.

"The old capital of the Six Dynasties is well-known!"

Jiang Fang was even more stunned and exclaimed, and his eyes couldn't help but show desire and a small ambition.

Xiao Ye glanced at him secretly. People are not afraid of having no ambition, but are afraid of losing their minds and being mediocre.

Zhang Jian explained the unloading of goods, including 30,000 copies of the West Chamber published by Xiao Ye and sent them to the Zhuangzi, and another 20,000 copies were prepared in six counties under Yangzhou. Just wait for Xiao Ye to be elected as a juren, and they will be sold simultaneously in the six counties of Jiankang and Yangzhou.

After the arrangement was made, everyone took three ox carts to the village outside the city of Zhang's family.

The entire manor is dozens of hectares in radius, mainly planting mulberry fields, mixed with rows of dry fields, and the land has been harvested. The farmers are ploughing and waiting for the weather to cooler, they can plant wheat. Some common fruit trees such as plums, apricots, peaches and oranges are also common fruit trees along the mulberry fields. There are rows of weaving workshops.

It is worth mentioning that although the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous era, for most common people, the staple food was still wheat rice, which was cooked into porridge. After all, rice had to be peeled off and polished. Each process would increase the price. Moreover, rice with poor varieties would be yellow and hard when cooked, and the taste was not good.

There are hundreds of people in the entire manor, basically all of whom are tenants from the Zhang family. Men plant mulberry fields, women organize them, and specialize in silk weaving.

The wealth of the Zhang family was Zhang Jian's grandfather took advantage of the decline in the early years of Zhenguan, and the politics was clear and clear, and the court's general policy was to rest and recuperate. He seized the opportunity and gradually developed.

To put it very realistic, let alone the filthiness in the middle and late dynasties, even if it is still Qingming now, a poor family like the Zhang family will be thousands of times more difficult to start a business than in the early dynasties by relying solely on industry, commerce and farming.

This has nothing to do with human plots. It is a prosperous era for decades. The class has gradually solidified. The vested interests have mastered all aspects of society. The channels for up and down flow between classes are becoming increasingly blocked. Even as a time traveler, Xiao Ye can only take the imperial examinations to make a fortune and fight a bloody path through the small holes that the court intends to relax.

Time travelers often invented the development of industry and commerce as soon as they returned to the ancient times of peace and prosperity. This was purely a way to die. To destroy the magistrates and destroy the county magistrates, isn’t it just a vernacular saying?

Creating wealth that has no corresponding reputation is like a piece of blood, surrounded by tigers, leopards, jackals, and even the family's own clan can knock your bones and suck your marrow and eat them cleanly, and also use the reputation of the great power to pin you, allowing you to benefit the family for the rest of your life.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Ye has been willing to be poor and does not create any industry since he traveled through time. Only by winning the imperial examination and becoming a master can he initially protect the safety of the industry.

"Brother is here!"

At this time, Zhang Yu exclaimed, and a strong young man in his twenties came out of the garden with several people in big strides.

"Brother!"

Zhang Jian and Sister, Chen Zi'ang and his wife hurriedly bowed.

"Yeah~~"

The man looked over, nodded, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Ye and others.

Zhang Jian immediately introduced.

Zhang Jian’s elder brother is called Zhang Xiu. He does not have the opportunity to be a businessman as a merciless businessman. Instead, he is generous, generous, and sincere in his life, which makes people feel good about it. This is actually the truth. He holds Jiangnan’s promised business with a poor family. His mind is slightly smaller, and he is always difficult situations.

Don’t think that people like Zhang Xiu cannot do big things. The so-called times create heroes. Liu Bei and Liu Yu have sold straw sandals, and Guan Yu has also climbed trees and stole dates. Who is not a hero in the future? The key is whether there is a suitable stage to provide it.

After everyone chatted with each other, they quickly became familiar with each other. They were introduced to the village by the Zhang brothers and sisters and settled their residence. Then Zhang Xiu held a banquet, which attracted his wife and children to meet, which made him feel a friendship with the family.

In the following period, Xiao Ye got up early to practice Qi, studied and did questions during the day. Because he was wearing a sword, he also practiced Tai Chi sword technique.

The Tai Chi sword technique in the previous life was a normal flower stand. The elderly danced swords and kept healthy, but with the true qi, the operation was different. The sword moves were light, gentle and continuous, and the energy guided the power, and the killer moves came out one after another, and gradually there was a wonderful way to achieve a thousand pounds of swords. Xiao Ye felt happy.

The so-called sharp blade in mind, murderous intent arises, and with a sword in hand, the ambition to wipe out the world!

Before I knew it was August. On the penultimate day before the exam, I went to the state to study for admission. Another day after that, the ninth day of the eighth month, and the provincial examination began.

Taoism is also known as Gongyuan, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River. The main hall is still Wenying Hall, which worships Emperor Wenchang and his subordinate gods. During the Zhenguan period, the houses were continuous and dozens of hectares in radius.

At this time, the sky had already shone with thin light. On the horizon in the east, clouds were blocked, and strands of sunlight shone through the clouds, dyeing the clouds with layers of red glow. At the gate of the Gongyuan, three thousand candidates gathered, and fourteen corridors were opened. Students from the fourteen prefectures entered one after another. Because scholars had already squeezed into the class of scholars, they were exempted from the searching stage. They only showed the book and could refer to it.

"Brothers, we are separated here, I hope that we will all be famous on the list!"

Chen Zi'ang stood still and solemnly bowed to Xiao Ye, Lu Wen and Jiang Fang.

"We also want to do the same!"
Chapter completed!
