Chapter 108 Leaving Yangzhou
After Lin Ruhai left Yangzhou, Wang Zhanjun had nothing else to do. After staying in the academy for a period of time, he thought about going out to study.Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye's training has also reached a bottleneck, and they want to come out to see some ancient scenery.

Wang Zhanjun asked for leave with Qin Shan, the head of the academy, and was about to leave the academy.

Go to the end of the world with a sword.

Wang Zhanjun drove a carriage, took nothing with him, and left Yangzhou City, all the way north.

"Xiao'e, Qiuye, there is no one around now, come out."

Not long ago, Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye finished their closed-door training, and now they are at the peak of the Qi refining period, and it is time to prepare to break through to the fetal breath period.However, I suddenly received a letter from Shi Lao, requesting not to break through for the time being.Although the three of them didn't know the reason, they decided to follow Shi Lao's request.

At this time, both Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye appeared in front of Wang Zhanjun in men's clothes.

"It's finally out, so you don't have to be trapped in the space all the time." Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and said happily.

"Yes, the scenery outside is still beautiful, and the ancient environment is much better than the modern one." Ran Qiuye turned around and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Qiu Ye is right, Brother Jun, where is this place?"

"This is about 50 miles north of Yangzhou, and there are no people around here, so I just looked for an opportunity to let you out."

"Okay, let's also experience the experience of wandering the rivers and lakes." Lou Xiaoe said with satisfaction.

Wang Zhanjun looked at the two of them and asked, "You look like this. I'm not afraid that others will see your true face, but you must also pay attention. Also, what shall we call you in the future?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said, "Brother Jun, from now on, my name will be Lou Xiaochen, and you can call me Xiaochen."

"Then my name is Ran Qiuyang. I have met Brother Wang and Brother Lou." Like Lou Xiaoe, Ran Qiuye also chose a name for himself.

Seeing that they were ready, Wang Zhanjun said to them: "Xiaochen, Qiuyang, let's talk about it first, the road is not easy now, you have to be prepared." Said, Wang Zhanjun also helped his waist, he I have forgotten that most of the current roads are dirt roads, full of potholes, and people who are bumped feel pain all over their bodies.

Lou Xiao'e took a look at Wang Zhanjun and said, "Don't worry, although we can't use mana now, we are still monks in the Qi refining period. Isn't it just that the road is not easy to walk, so there is no big problem. Brother Jun, I think you should Practice more, you look too empty."

Lou Xiaoe made fun of Wang Zhanjun with a pun.

"Lou Xiao'e, just wait, it's time to clean you up."

"Come on, let's see who begs for mercy in the end, isn't it, Qiuye?"

"Okay, stop making trouble. We can't spend the night in the wilderness." Ran Qiuye persuaded the two people who were fighting.

Wang Zhanjun slowly drove the carriage and walked on the country road.

"How, how do you feel now." Wang Zhanjun's gloating voice came over.

Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye had never felt this way before. Sitting in the car, they were always bumping, and felt that their internal organs were thrown out.

"Brother Jun, slow down, why is this road so broken? Don't the people nearby repair the road? How can they bear such a road?"

"What are you thinking? It doesn't cost money to build roads. In these rural areas, it would be nice to have such roads. The real rich people would not take such small roads."

"I think the farmland around here is not bad. I think the people nearby have a good income. Why can't they raise funds to build roads?" Lou Xiaoe asked.

"You think this is modern times, but this is ancient times. The farmlands near us are all private fields of a noble family, and those who cultivate them are rented land or even slaves of some nobles. They can eat enough It’s not bad, where there is money to build roads.”

For the three of them, this is a heavy topic. None of them have experienced such an experience. The most difficult years are probably the years of natural disasters in their previous lives, but they have not suffered too much.

The carriage was really uncomfortable, and none of the three of them could bear it. As for riding a horse, it might not be much better, and the only thing left was to take a boat.

"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to go out in ancient times. I've had enough these days." After drinking and eating, Lou Xiao'e began to complain about what happened in the past few days.

Over the past few years in Wu State, officials have been busy standing in line and fighting for power and profit, making the whole country a mess and bandits are rampant.Not only did the common people not have enough to eat, but they were always threatened by slaves and bandits.Wang Zhanjun and the others originally hoped to find a small village to rest, but unfortunately the people were too prepared and no one would accept them.

"Boss, please ask me where I can rent a boat to the capital."

Wang Zhanjun and the others are now in a small county along the canal. The county is not very prosperous, and there are not many decent inns.This inn is the best one in the county. Wang Zhanjun and the others rest here for two days and are ready to leave.

"Guest officer, to tell you the truth, there are not many large ships on the canal now. Many families in the capital want to build family-friendly villas. They have purchased a lot of things from Jiangnan and transport them to the capital all day. Almost all the large ships are busy. These."

"Shopkeeper, please take the trouble to help us find a boat. The price is not a problem. We have important business to go to the capital." Wang Zhanjun took out a tael of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw Yinzi, his face showed joy, and he said happily: "If you don't mind, I will find you a smaller boat. This boatman also often walks on the canal. The boat is not too big."

"It doesn't matter, shopkeeper, I only have one request, we have chartered this ship, so no other people will be on board."

The shopkeeper said happily: "Okay, don't worry, I will go to the guest officer to find the boss of the boat."

"Brother Jun, why didn't you tell us about the construction of the provincial villa? This is such a great opportunity to make money." Lou Xiao'e has been in business for many years, and she always felt uncomfortable when she didn't seize this opportunity.

"Xiao'e, it's not like you don't know what's going on at the provincial house. Why should we meddle in such a matter?"

"I also know that we shouldn't intervene, but I just can't bear the sight of those rich and powerful taking advantage of their power, and I plan to teach them a lesson."

"Brother Jun, why do you think that guy still uses this method? He shouldn't be short of money right now. If this happens, the people's lives will be even more difficult." Ran Qiuye asked in confusion.

"Qiuye, I suspect that that person is impatient and wants to quickly break the alliance between nobles. Think about it, Qin Keqing's funeral far exceeded the expected specifications. Isn't this against that person?" The provocation of that person. The style of that person does not tolerate sand in his eyes. This move is aimed at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Anyone who commits crimes will not be able to resist stretching out his hand in it. As long as he stretches out his hand, he will be exposed. .”

"I always feel that the gains outweigh the losses. Once the hearts of the people are lost, it's not so easy to get them back." Ran Qiuye said with emotion.
