The Prosperous Era of Longwan

Chapter 6 6 Jiujiang Guard

After school in the afternoon, Wei Guangde was still sullen because he was spanked by the teacher again today. As for the reason, it was of course because of the calligraphy he wrote. He didn't get much slaps in the past few days.

Now writing has almost become Wei Guangde's inner demon. He was spanked by the teacher for two consecutive days.

"Yutou, you have been spanked by the teacher for two days, don't take it to heart, just write carefully tomorrow."

Seeing Wei Guangde's depressed look after leaving the private school, Zhang Ji, the follower, spoke.

Before Wei Guangde could speak, someone next to him spoke.

"I don't think so. Yutou should be angry with Chen Youcai's grandson."

"That grandson is really a piece of shit. They are all from the same thousand households, but he actually became a follower of a dog rich man. It's so embarrassing."

Zhang Ji also echoed.

Wei Guangde looked around at his friends beside him, shook his head and said nothing.

Zhang Ji is the son of Zhang Dayong, the general flag of the 100-household unit. Zhang Dayong is also Wei Meng's confidant. He was promoted from a small flag. The rest are similar, except that their fathers are all small flags and are all confidants of their fathers.

And Chen Youcai, as they are talking about, is from a general flag family of the 100-household unit next door. In the eyes of these half-grown children, they are all people of the guard unit, so they should stand on one side, but Chen Youcai is close to several local rich families in the town.

As for why these military households have conflicts with the local rich families in the town, this is actually easy to understand. There are often disputes over the boundaries of the fields, but the fights have no good results for both sides.

The magistrate of Pengze County is just a floating official. He doesn't want to intervene in the conflict between the military leaders and the local gentry. They are all local snakes and are not easy to mess with. They are all muddled, and the result is naturally that neither side will please.

Although the civil officials are powerful now, when it comes to land, the guard unit will not be vague.

It is okay for military officers to greet civil officials, and it is okay for civil officials to share some of the military pay allocated by the local government. After all, the money is in their hands, but the land is actually military land, and it is not okay to take advantage of them.

Today's military officers in the garrisons still rely on the output of those lands to make some income. After all, the military pay is low. If military officers want to live comfortably, they can only rely on those fields.

It is also because of this that there have been several conflicts between the Bengshan Baihu Suo and several gentry in the town.

Fortunately, it is a big deal for these gentry families to have a scholar. If someone really passes the exam and becomes a Jinshi, even if it is only a Juren, it is estimated that Father Wei can only tolerate it.

There are no talents in those gentry families, which is one of the reasons why Father Wei dared to quarrel with them.

Wei Guangde knows about this, and he also heard it from his brother Wei Wencai. Although he has some memories of his previous life, he is still a child after all, and he doesn't care about such things.

After Wei Guangde came here, he thought about his future. This is a feudal society with clear classes. If he wants to live a good life, he still needs to be more careful.

After resting at home for a few days and settling down, Wei Guangde was very concerned about the Baihu Suo and the surrounding environment. He might have to stay here for the rest of his life, unless he could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, or even become a juren or jinshi, and enter the ruling class.

In his previous life, Wei Guangde was such an unmotivated person. He didn't study hard and felt that he didn't have that talent.

When the city expanded, his family became a demolition household, and since then, they have not worked harder.

He went to a third-rate university, which was actually a junior college, and then found a job, lived a sloppy life, and his salary was pocket money, and he saved the rent.

In fact, he didn't save it himself, but his parents asked him to save it. Now think about it, the money will belong to his brother in the future, and the two houses are also.

Walking in the town, passing by a small food stall, Wei Guangde felt a little hungry. Thinking of the copper coins he got in the morning, he simply bought a few tea cakes, one for each person and ate them while walking.

Walking out of the town, walking back along the road along the river.

These days, there are no entertainment venues in the town. In fact, everyone's life is similar, very monotonous and boring.

There are teahouses and restaurants in the county town, where you can listen to books and watch plays. I think there will be no shortage of fireworks and willow lanes, but it is still a bit far away from the current Wei Guangde. It is still a bit unrealistic for him to enjoy these colorful lives.

These few mornings, Wei Guangde also paid attention. Although he is a half-grown child, his thoughts have been influenced by the information explosion of later generations. He understands many things that his peers of this era don't understand, and he has done it with real guns and bullets in that life.

Unfortunately, when he woke up, he found that there was no tent, so Wei Guangde didn't have the confidence to do anything in that kind of place.

I'm still an eleven-year-old child.

Wei Guangde also knew that the government banned that industry, but this industry has existed since ancient times, and its existence is justice, so it must have its reasons.

After walking for more than ten miles, the little guys talked and laughed, and finally saw the stone fort in the distance, and they were about to get home.

"Wow, there are so many boats, they are the boats of our guard."

Wei Guangde turned his head and looked at the river surface when he heard the sound. Sure enough, he saw a long line of large and small warships going down the river in the distance. The leading ship had a big flag hanging on the bow, with four big characters written on it: "Following the imperial edict to serve the king", and the name of Jiujiang Guard was written below.

At this time, there were also endless merchant ships on the river, but seeing such a large fleet, they all avoided and dared not compete.

"Really, it's from Jiujiang Guard."

Several little guys saw the grand scene on the river, and they immediately started chattering non-stop.

Wei Guangde knew that his father was probably in the fleet, but he was far away and could not be seen, but he was also shocked.

How urgent this must be!

We traveled all night to gather back together last night and set off this afternoon. In other words, Mr. Wei took the team there and only rested for half a day before boarding the ship and setting off.

Wei Guangde was really not familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty and had not studied it carefully. He only knew some things about the Ming Dynasty from watching TV novels.

At least, he really had no idea what happened in the capital in the 29th year of Jiajing.

Dozens of large and small warships soon caught up with them from behind and then continued to move forward.

The little guys watched silently as the fleet failed to pass, and stopped talking. They must have thought of something.

"It's already this time. Can they get to Anqing tonight?"

At this time, Zhang Ji behind him suddenly spoke, breaking the temporary calm.

It took a while before someone said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The best we can do is go to Wangjiang. It's more than a hundred miles away from Anqing. It's not safe to sail at night."

"Well, it probably won't make it to Anqing."

Anqing is the south gate of Nanzhili, and Jiujiang where they are located is called the north gate of Jiangxi. After Anqing is Wuhu, and then Yingtianfu, from where you can enter the Grand Canal.
