Chapter 21 Traveling the World
The idea of traveling hard in this world has been around since Zhou Ming came to this world.
Go to the top of the mountains to write poems, go boating and playing piano in the river, drink and write essays on the high buildings, go to the leisurely places of the world to sing loudly, go to the vast world to experience the rolling world... The tall horse, sleeping in the wind and opening, and holding a sword to the world, how free and easy?
This is just like the protagonist of the comic "The Legend of Li Bai in Shushan Sword Immortal" he recently drew, who traveled all the way, killed demons and eliminated demons, punished evil and evil, killed one person in ten steps, and did not stay thousands of miles away.
It is precisely because Zhou Ming completely put himself in the role of Li Bai that the comic "The Legend of Li Bai in Shushan Sword Immortal" has been widely praised by readers since the first episode was serialized in "Comics".
Even because of this comic, a fashion trend of wearing "Li Bai outfit", combing "Li Bai's head" and matching "Li Bai's sword" has become popular in various parts of Qingzhou.
Naturally, the murder rate in Qingzhou has also increased a lot. Many gangsters who do evil things now see people wearing "Li Bai's outfits" and are afraid that their heads will be picked up within ten steps by the "Li Bai" who is a hero and righteous man...
As for the travel route, Zhou Ming had already planned it:
That is, we set out from our hometown in Haiping County, Qingzhou, heading south, traveling to the four states of Qi, Yang, Sheng and Cliff, and reaching the ends of the world, strolling on the white beach, and seeing the tropical sea.
Then he advanced westward, passed through Hong and Qianzhou, and entered the Bashu land known as the "country of Heavenly Prefecture", and took a look at the human nature here and learned the words of Shu people.
Then from west to north, head to the northwest wilderness, the extreme western region, outside Yumen Pass in Liangzhou, to see the grand occasion of the Silk Road.
Finally, heading to the northeast, on the grasslands in Youzhou, enjoy the beautiful scenery of "cattle and sheep when the wind blows the grass low"...
After a walk, Zhou Ming, who had already traveled all over the Great Zhou Jiuzhou, had the last stop, which would become the end of his journey.
Zhongzhou!
Imperial capital, Luojing City!
In addition, this plan to travel around the world is also related to two other plans he is implementing:
Zihua Bookstore Plan, Deyun Club Plan!
Zihua Bookstore has been fully launched in Qingzhou for more than two years. In Qingzhou, nearly 200 Zihua Bookstores have readers, covering more than 95% of the cultural population in Qingzhou. In Qingzhou, almost no one who knows literate has ever heard of Zihua Bookstore. In many places, similar bookstores and book clubs have emerged, but because of the single output content and uneven quality, the number of readers is less than one percent of Zihua Bookstore.
Moreover, since its inception, Zihua Bookstores in various places have the functions of accepting letters from readers and submissions from literary enthusiasts, the current Zihua Bookstore focuses on three magazines: "Story Club", "Zihua Collection" and "Comics". In addition to the small amount of contributions to comics, most of the contents of each issue of "Story Club" and "Zihua Collection" are third-party manuscripts submitted by literature enthusiasts, and these submissions account for more than 90% of the content issued in each issue.
Even the novel column of "Story Club", Zihua Bookstore, has signed several columnists to write various strange novels...
In addition, not only in Qingzhou, the influence of Zihua Bookstore has spread to several surrounding prefectures and counties. Zhou Ming has received hundreds of letters from readers from Jeju, Youzhou, Yangzhou and even far away in Zhongzhou. These letters express their admiration for him, and the other part is complaining about why they don’t have Zihua Bookstore there, only Qingzhou has…
Therefore, the time to open Zihua Bookstore across the country of Dazhou has been ripe. In the past few months, Zhou Ming has also sent a large number of capable people, carrying a large number of gold and silver to various parts of Jiuzhou, buying houses and land, recruiting personnel, and preparing to let Zihua Bookstore blossom in full.
There is also Deyun Club. Zhou Ming dares not say that he has opened dozens or even hundreds of companies in the Great Zhou Dynasty. His goal is to start a pilot program of ten prefectures and prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is not in a hurry. He can afford to wait for two or three years at a fast speed, and he can wait for five or six years at a slow speed.
The focus is on the Zihua Bookstore plan first.
Zhou Ming will also follow the implementation of these two plans during his travels around the world and even personally guide him to ensure that the two plans are implemented smoothly.
With the route planning and the task arrangement, the inner impulse can no longer be curbed. The only thing Zhou Ming has to do now is to do ideological work to communicate with his parents and let them agree to their travel plans.
So, he made all preparations. A few days later, Zhou Ming told his parents and family about his plan.
There is no doubt that his travel plan was opposed by both his parents.
Fortunately, his father Tian Feng was traveling out when he was young. He did not object to Zhou Ming going out for a trip. He just thought that his son would get married first and then go on a trip after having children. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, this would be...
Not to mention that her mother Cui, her son is the flesh that fell from her body. She is worried and worried about her when she leaves home for three days. Now her son actually says she wants to travel across the country of Dazhou. Her heart is completely unacceptable, and then she strongly opposes it, unless he gets married to his cousin Cui Rou first, and has three men and two women, and then travels.
Zhou Ming can only do their ideological work: "Father, mother, don't you still have Brother Jing at home? As for getting married, if I really marry a wife and have children, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. The obstacles I encounter will definitely be bigger than this! Parents, let the child go out for two years while the child is young. The child is a towering man with a heart, not a bird in the cage, and he must not fly high... Isn't it better to go out earlier, come back early, and stay by his parents in the future?" (Jing brother refers to Zhou Ming's younger brother Tian Jing, who is only nine years old this year)
In this era, we pay great attention to filial piety, and we should pay attention to our parents not traveling far away. After our parents die, we should still be filial for three years. Of course, Zhou Ming could borrow the name of going out for a few days and leave, and he could also deceive them, saying that he would go to Zhongzhou to participate in the imperial examination and spend a year and a half... But the word filial piety is sincere and sincere. Zhou Ming dared not say that he is a model filial son, but some basic filial piety must be achieved: do not lie to his parents, try to eliminate their worries, relax those tangled in themselves, solve their main worries, and then step on the accelerator and run forward.
Life is not like this. We must move forward and worry, not get lost, and remember the road home.
After spending a few days and a firm attitude, Zhou Ming still did the ideological work that all his relatives could be understood. Of course, the cost was very high. Zhou Ming agreed to all his promises, and then began to pack his bags, call his friends and set off together.
...
March 3, 24th year of Tiansheng, morning.
"Jian'er, don't travel for too long, come back early!"
"You must pay attention to safety outside. When you encounter strong men and bandits, you can give them all the money. Saving your life first!"
"Brother Zihua, you are not allowed to provoke other women outside. Come back early to marry me!"
"Brother, you should write letters to me frequently, at least once every ten days, which is what you promised me."
"Brother, brother, take Ah, I want to go there too!" said the nine-year-old brother Tian Jing.
"Brother Zihua, I wish I could go with you..." There were also some regrets from some classmates and friends.
