When Su Ming and eight others left Erwei Fort, the sky was getting brighter. They all knew how important their trip was to Wei Zhuang, so everyone was silent on the road and rode fast.

The horses Su Ming was riding were from Er Weibao. The horses owned by Wei Zhuang were all military horses that had been eliminated by the army. They were not at all comparable to his strong horse in use.

There were originally only 6 military horses in Erwei Fort, as well as Su Ming's strong horse and an old horse that could only pull a cart. There were three horses in the salt factory. The eldest brother transferred the two army horses back from the salt factory overnight last night.

This means that he must not have slept at night.

In this way, there was only one military horse left in the entire Wei Village. If Jinshan Guard knew about this, there would be trouble, and Su Ren would do anything to buy the food back quickly!

The horses were riding very fast, with Su Qingping riding at the front, and Su Ming and others following him.

From Erwei Fort to Jinshanwei, there were no villages along the way. There was only an official post. They passed each other and the gate was closed. They didn't know whether there was no one stationed there or the people at the post had not gotten up yet.

Nearing Jinshanwei Town, the vegetation here became lush, and some farmland began to appear on the roadside. The people working in the fields saw them from a distance, and they all watched with vigilance.

Although Jinshan Guard has troops stationed all year round and there are not many large bandit forces around it, there are still many small groups of water thieves. The people living here must always be careful of bandits and water bandits, and even the appearance of pirates who have landed.

The common people waited until Su Ming and his men approached and saw that they were all wearing military uniforms. Then they felt relieved, lowered their heads, and began to work again.

Su Ming's riding skills were the worst among the eight. He felt soreness in his thighs after riding for less than an hour. Su Zhe's performance was much better than his. Su Qingping saw that his eighth brother had slowed down, so he slowed down.

The horse's footsteps were heard, and their whole team stopped.

"Have a rest for a while! Feed the horses some fodder. The road is still far away. We have to pass through Jiaxing Prefecture before entering Hangzhou Prefecture. Everyone must maintain their physical strength and be ready to fight at any time." Su Qingping took his horse to eat grass.

, and then took out his own dry food and fed some to the horse.

Su Ming let his horse graze on the roadside and went into the forest on the roadside for convenience. When he was a little further away from everyone, he directly entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

When he was riding a horse just now, he had already noticed that he quickly felt discomfort in his thighs when riding a fast horse, but the feeling never got worse. In fact, Fifth Brother and the others did not ride horses often, so they should not be much better than him.

What surprised Su Ming was that the burning pain in his inner thigh was never very severe and he could still bear it. The reason should be related to the template of his sea of ​​consciousness, so he went into his mind to check.

As soon as he saw his sculpture, Su Ming saw the 98% mark above his head. This number should show his status. Could it be said that this sculpture can restore his status, or even recover from injuries?

Su Ming withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness. He broke off a branch from the tree next to him and scratched his arm. Suddenly a blood stain appeared on his arm. He wiped the blood to cover the wound and returned to the team.

middle.

After resting for half a moment, the eight people got on their horses and continued to move forward. Su Ming insisted on not falling behind, and the more he rode, the more he mastered the trick, and his speed became faster and faster.

Before noon, eight people had already arrived outside Jinshanwei Town.

The city wall of Jinshan Guard is much higher than that of Shanghai County. Although the guard is one level lower than the county in the Ming Dynasty, it is one of the most important guards in the Ming Dynasty. It is responsible for the guard work directly under Nanjing and the eastern coast of Zhejiang. It is important

The sex is much greater than that of all counties.

Su Ming saw that the city wall here was 10 meters high and was made of stone. The city wall was densely covered with various turrets and arrow towers. Generally, bandits and pirates came here to die. In Jinshan Guard, more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were stationed all year round.

Before entering the city, he saw that the horses were a little tired and the eight people were resting on a road outside the town. Su Ming took advantage of the rest time to check that his condition had dropped to 96%, and there was only one scar left on his arm.

A shallow mark.

This shows that the coast guard ship module in the sea of ​​his consciousness does have the ability to restore his physical condition. Until now, he found that the condition of the other eight people in the group was actually not as good as his own. This golden finger of his was more effective than expected.

Much.

Is it true that as long as he doesn't die, the coast guard ship module can restore his condition? Then wouldn't he simply have a headache or a fever?

Su Ming didn't dare to try it due to serious injuries. It was already very good just to recover from physical discomfort and maintain physical strength.

Glancing at Jinshanwei from afar, the eight of them followed the path around Jinshanwei Town. They encountered some small groups of refugees on the road and saw them all fleeing far away. After a while, Jinshanwei Town will open up to the water outside the town.

Bandits and refugees are conducting a cleanup. If you are caught and have no money, you will definitely be sent to do coolies.

The eight people rode horses and stopped, and the riding speed was much faster than walking. In the afternoon, they had arrived at the border between Songjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture. There was a checkpoint in front of them. Su Ming was worried about how to pass. Su Qingping signaled him to be silent.

Just follow yourself.

"What do you do?" Seeing eight people riding horses, a soldier came over and asked.

"Jinshan Wei Weizhuang is going to Jiaxing City for business, please brothers, please be accommodating!" Su Qingping said, taking out a bunch of money and handing it over.

"Why are you so polite, brothers? Why are you going to Jiaxing City, brothers?" The soldier took the money and looked at Su Ming and the eight people on horseback. They were not smuggling, so he asked casually.

"We hundreds of households asked us to deliver a letter..." Su Qingping said and handed over his identity card!

The soldier looked at Su Qingping's identity card and saw that he was the flag holder, and returned the identity card to them with a smile. They were both members of the Jinshan Guards, and they would not offend others easily, so they let all eight of them enter.

Through the memory of the original owner, Su Ming knew that the soldiers at these checkpoints were generally guarded by nearby guards in turn. The checkpoints here had three main functions.

The first is to resist pirate attacks. If Jinshan Guard is breached by pirates, then their place is the key to resisting pirates. Although Jinshan Guard is strong, it is not indestructible. Twelve years ago, tens of thousands of Japanese pirates broke through Jinshan Guard and kept killing people.

When we arrived in Hangzhou, the entire eastern part of Hangzhou Prefecture was looted by pirates.

The second function is to prevent gangsters from running around. If those knights can walk around the official roads at will, the power of the Jianghu will inevitably become stronger, and the authority of the imperial court will inevitably be challenged.

The third is to collect tolls, restrict some people at the same time, stabilize local rights, and ensure that regional cake distribution changes less frequently. In this way, the rich can always dominate the world with their privileges, and it will be more difficult for the poor to stand up.

Soldiers at the guard station are not allowed to leave at will. If caught, they will be punished. Passing through so easily also allowed Su Ming to see the human relationships in this world.

The royal family ruled the Ming Dynasty and made a series of rules for everyone to obey them. As the main force in the world, the wealthy families continued to seek benefits for themselves under the rules. Military households, serfs, and refugees were oppressed by such mountains.

They must also learn to be flexible. Without flexibility, it will be difficult for them to survive in this world.

Therefore, justice and human relations are particularly important in this world, and they are also the fundamental key to the maintenance of feudal society. Su Ming, who has the thoughts of later generations, knows that this is the key to the development of the feudal dynasty, and it is also the fundamental reason that hinders the development of society.

In such a world, a person's background is much more important than his ability. It doesn't matter. If you have the ability to contribute to the country, that is wishful thinking. Maintaining relationships is the first key to this world. Unless the world is in chaos and power is reorganized, ordinary people

Talent can make a difference.

But it is the reorganization of power, and when ordinary people really take power in their hands, they first create a glorious ancestral history for themselves, so that they can integrate into the world's power class.

Sitting in high positions, there are only a few people who can recall their initial determination and vows. As soon as they turn around, they continue to exploit the working people like the big men they once hated, and sometimes they even do more than those people.

Therefore, Su Ming knew that it would be much more difficult for him to change these than to overthrow the rule of the Zhu family. As a future time traveler with correct views, he must do something, but where to go is a question that needs to be pondered.

.

Entering the checkpoint, Su Ming saw that most of the soldiers here were emaciated and walking casually on the street with old weapons. They did not look like soldiers at all. Some people wearing military uniforms actually set up stalls on both sides of the street.

, it is strange that such an army can have combat effectiveness.

After passing the checkpoint, we entered Jiaxing Prefecture. There were obviously more pedestrians on the official road. Some skinny people were pushing heavy carts to transport goods. Jiaxing Prefecture was very rich, but the rich were only those wealthy families and merchants, ordinary people

Still poor.

There were more checkpoints on the official road in Jiaxing Prefecture. In the afternoon, they encountered three checkpoints while riding 60 miles. Su Qingping came forward every time and they passed easily. They didn't even pay tolls at one checkpoint.

In the evening, eight people came outside Jiaxing City. Because Su Ming did not have an identity card, they could only rest in an inn on the side of the official road. When the owner saw that these people were all practitioners, he did not dare to offend him.

He gave them four guest rooms, pulled eight horses down and fed them with fine feed, and only charged them 140 Wen.

Su Ming also saw the rules of this world. If you are strong, no one dares to offend you. Everything is easy to do. If you don't have the strength, everything is difficult. If you have a strong family behind you, everyone must respect you.

Seeing this, Su Ming gradually understood.

If he wants to change this place, he must first learn to integrate. He must make Er Weibao stronger. Only by relying on Er Weibao to do what he wants will it be easier.

Fortunately, they had salt, and coupled with the five hundred years of memories of later generations in his mind, it was not too difficult to develop Wei Zhuang Institute.

There were no surprises along the way. There were very few large groups of thieves on the official roads. Small groups of thieves saw them running faster than rabbits.

The eight people saw that they did not enter the city or the guard station, and only rested in the inn near the official road. Su Ming's state dropped to about 90% all day long during the night, and would return to 100% early the next morning. His state was better than that of the eight people.

Su Qingping, the strongest among them, was so good that everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

On March 17, after three days of traveling, Su Ming and his eight friends finally arrived outside Hangzhou City. Su Qingping told Su Ming about Hangzhou City. He actually didn’t know much about it. All this information was obtained by Wei Zhuang.

The merchant fleet learned about it from their mouths.

"Starting from mid-March every year in Hangzhou City, there will be very few guards at the east gate of the city, and they will no longer check the identities of merchants coming and going. There will be a lot of rangers in the city. When we get to Hangzhou City, we must not offend the rangers, because they

Sometimes it's even more difficult than the government.

There is Fengming Lane in the north of Hangzhou City. It is the largest trading point in the south of the Yangtze River. You can basically buy everything there. It is very lively during this time of year. The big merchants in Hangzhou also buy goods from Fengming Lane at this time.

, and in a month they will go back to sea and go northward to do business along the ocean current.

In addition to Fengming Lane, there are people trading at Ronglin Port in the east of Hangzhou City every day before dawn. There are often some unknown things for sale there, often at a fixed price. If we buy grain from Hangzhou City
Chapter completed!
