Chapter 77 Digging a Pit
The sky is as blue as clear as a cloudless place.
Four carriages were slowly walking in the road in the woods in sequence. Zhou Xing rode on the horse. He pulled the reins with one hand and tightly held the hilt hanging around his waist with the other hand. He observed the four directions with vigilant eyes, constantly scanning the dense forest. The bright sunlight on both sides of the road was shooting down from the gaps of dense pine needles, forming bunches of thick and thin light columns, illuminating the shade of the tree that was floating in the veil-like mist.
It was quiet in the morning before my eyes, and it was easily ambushed in dense forests. Since the rise of eunuchs and the extortion of levies, Jizhou is one of the most prosperous continents in the world. It is the state with the greatest influence outside the Central Plains. Chaos in the world began to appear, and bandits began to appear in Jizhou.
After slowly walking out of the dense forest, Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and his hand released the hilt.
Yang Qifeng did not care about this. Nowadays, all the bandits are not as powerful as the current ones, and all the strength is not as good as that. Don’t say that Zhou Xing brought the Zhou family’s well-trained guards. Even Zhu Changlie and others could deal with the bandits. The number of people returning to Yecheng this time was more than doubled compared to when he left Yecheng. There were eight chefs alone, all of whom were cooks who were in charge of cooking.
The remaining number of people increased was Zhu Changlie and others. For this reason, they specially left three more days to handle the 100 acres of fertile land. They specially purchased a house in Wu'an County, arranged two maids and two slaves to serve Zhu Changlie's mother Zhu Wangshi. To cut off Zhu Changlie's worries, Yang Qifeng took out another sum of money to hire Zhu Changlie's brothers. Birds of birds of feathers flocked together. Those who could call brothers and brothers with Zhu Changlie were all people with real skills.
Even if you cannot be a general with Xingde, you can be a captain in the army, especially in the future. Now that you have no star life, it is not impossible to activate the power of stars in the future. Even if it still doesn't work, the captain alone is the main force in the army. How many generals can truly respond to Xingde?
Time passed slowly, and it was past morning and noon. Finally, it was sunset again. The sky was dim and the sky was dark. Four carriages slowly came outside Yecheng. Zhou Xing led the guards to leave here. There was no danger here. Even if there were bandits, it would be impossible to cause disaster around a big city like Yecheng. Before the Huang Chao uprising, the Han Dynasty was collapsed, and bandits around had long been wiped out by county soldiers.
When he returned to Yecheng, Yang Qifeng came to his mansion. He did not bring spring, summer and autumn and winter to Yecheng, but left them in Wu'an County. This time he used the help of the two women, and the fate between them was a little shallow. If he was in Yecheng, Zhou Mao might have given him an opportunity. This was relatively slim, but he would have to break up as long as there was a first-line opportunity. As for Sun Qing, another terrifying figure in Wu'an County, he was still just a cat without awakening, and there was no surprise that he would come again after leaving for about five months. He had time to take the two women away before Sun Qing woke up.
The oil lamp was lit, and the lights dispelled the darkness. The living room was emitting orange light. Yang Qifeng sat upright, Zhu Changlie and others sat down below. Yang Qifeng looked at Manager Li and preached. "I want to open a restaurant in Yecheng. Manager Li has rich experience in this area. Tomorrow, I will trouble Manager Li to wander around in Yecheng to find a place to open a restaurant."
"No," Manager Li agreed. Yang Qifeng knew how to make money, but it was just a matter of paper. Of course he didn't understand what to do. For example, the restaurant site selection and the supply of meat and vegetables required experienced people to operate this, so he specially brought Manager Li, and he pointed out the general direction. Manager Li was responsible for specific matters. This was the best way to deal with it.
"Changlie is resting in the mansion first, and go to Zhouyuan with me tomorrow. Lang seeks a set of martial arts for Changlie."
"Thank you, my boss," Zhu Changlie immediately stood up and thanked him. His tone was moved. This was Yang Qifeng's way of winning over the hearts of the people, but although he knew, he was also moved. His cultivation skills were superficial, and the Zhu family was in decline. The human and gods were separated. Even if the ancestors were still there, they did not dare to interfere too much.
"Wang San and Wu Er, you two are just working hard, and I will never be stingy with the rewards of martial arts," Yang Qifeng did not forget Wang San and Wu Er, and he paused and continued to assign a lecture. "Manager Li is old, Wu Er, you go and help Manager Li find the address of the restaurant. Wang San, you can find a place where you can open a martial arts hall. There is no need to be a prosperous area, and don't be too biased. It's almost the same. Remember, the place should be big enough to practice martial arts and practice fists."
"Okay!" The two stood up and responded. Among Wang San and Wu Er, Wu Er was taciturn and strong in his military power than Wang San, but Wang San was weaker in his military power, but he was smarter than Wu Er and weaker in handling affairs. However, Yang Qifeng believed that Wang San was not as good as Zhou Xing now because Wang San had not experienced his experience. Wang San would definitely be above Zhou Xing in the future. Zhou Hu and Yang Qifeng did not expect it. Now he planned to train Wang San to deal with some miscellaneous things for himself.
The martial arts hall is Yang Qifeng's ambition. Only force can ensure safety when troubled times are approaching. He plans to build a martial arts hall to gather people and then further establish an escort agency. Now that bandits are not prosperous, it is because eunuchs have just emerged, and natural disasters are only initially displayed. If the production is reduced this year, it has not come to the scene of a severe drought. He can barely survive. When the year of severe drought is coming, eunuchs will take power without going to provide disaster relief, and instead levy taxes will intensify the conflict. There are countless people who take risks.
When bandits are booming, the roads are unstable, and the escort agency has a place to use its skills. At that time, it can protect merchants and travelers to transport goods and earn money, and gather grass-roots heroes from all directions to directly train an army. At that time, the Zhou family will be operated and will be able to transform into a Han army. However, this point cannot be done with Yang Qifeng alone. It requires support from the Zhou family. Without the name of the Zhou family in Yecheng, the escort agency will not be able to be unobstructed in Wei County even if it is established. All parties do not buy it. The difficulties that follow will make the escort agency end.
Opening a martial arts school requires martial arts and a lot of money. Yang Qifeng is not satisfied. He has martial arts, but he dare not take them out. How dare he show this in the world of "Immortality"? So he wanted to list the Zhou family last year, and even planned to bring Zhou Mao into the group, so that Zhou Mao would take the lead and he assisted him. This seemed to be a big pit. Because the martial arts school and the escort agency wanted to exert their real power, it would be impossible to accumulate in a few years. The martial arts school needed to accumulate manpower in martial arts, which required a lot of money. All that was swallowed up was Zhou Mao's money. By the time the luck was replenished, it was already after the imperial examination.
At that time, he overwhelmed Zhou Mao's imperial examination and determined the position of the Zhou family's Qianlong, and obtained the Dragon Vein Fortune. All Zhou Mao's things were his. This move was like Zheng State sent water workers to Qin to provide suggestions to build the Zheng State Canal in the late Warring States Period, which consumed Qin's manpower and wealth and weakened Qin State. The army, Qin State finally built the Zheng State Canal. It was not that he could not see the intentions of Zheng State, but that the benefits of building the Zheng State Canal outweighed the disadvantages. This was the same as the establishment of a martial arts hall and then established an escort agency. However, Zheng State did not seize the opportunity of Qin State's consumption of national strength, and was indifferent to let Qin State use the Zheng State Canal to restore national strength and go further. Yang Qifeng would never do so. As long as he controlled the opportunity, Zhou Mao would not threaten it anymore. After obtaining the Dragon Vein Fortune, he would definitely be the dominant position of the escort agency.
