I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 85, Two Years

In the 33rd year of Sejong, the Fang family spent most of the year on the road.

From chariots and horses to boats, and then to chariots and horses; from plains and mountains to big rivers and lakes, and then to hilly basins... along the way, I don't know how many caravans have changed.

Some journeys only go around in one county; some journeys can pass through two or three counties and the state city.

On the way, he met all kinds of people and encountered many dangers, strange beasts, bandits, rebels, black-hearted inns... But Fang Rui, a third-rank powerhouse, was more than enough to protect the small family.

Fang Xueshi, Third Lady, Fang Ling, and Nannan also fell ill several times, but with Fang Rui's medical skills, they were still brought back every time.

In short, the bitterness and hardships on the road are not ordinary.

It can be said: If it were someone else, who was not as open as Fang Rui, and not as omnipotent as him, I'm afraid they would be wiped out if they didn't make it halfway.

In fact, even Fang Rui encountered many difficulties along the way.

Third-rank martial artist, with an extraordinary network, needs a lot of energy to supply the body, and often fights, the consumption of medicine is extremely fast.As a last resort, Fang Rui hunted many strange beasts on the way in exchange for resources. When he met a big family with bad records in a small county, he would sometimes get a vote. Only in this way could he barely survive.

In terms of money, the consumption along the way is like running water, but this is the smallest problem.

Because, compared to the high-level resources that warriors need, there are really too many channels for obtaining money and the like.

Just as Fang Rui thought, in this world, with great power, money is not a rare thing, and it will never be too short.

On the road.

Fang Rui's personal experience also verified his previous guess: the three states in the southern border are indeed drought everywhere, and everywhere is chaotic-either the riot is about to happen, or the chaos is in progress, or the chaos will continue after a round of chaos.

Passing through the three states in the south, the scene of natural and man-made disasters and the end of the dynasty left a deep impression on people.

until--

Half a year later, he left the three southern states completely.

Fang Rui still remembers: When he first arrived in Wunan, the pouring rain chilled his heart. This was the first heavy rain he had seen in this life after time travel.

So, it's really only the three states in the south that are thousands of miles away? !

'I don't read much, don't lie to me!Haven't catastrophic climates like droughts always been on a large scale?Such as the end of the Han Dynasty, such as the end of the Ming Dynasty, a super-large area, covering most of the world. '

'But what the hell is this Dayu that only droughts in three states, and then stops abruptly?God showed off extreme micromanagement? 'Fang Rui fell into deep self-doubt at the beginning.

thereafter.

Fang Rui took his family and followed the caravan deep into Wuzhou. The deeper he went, the less the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder in the troubled times of the three states in the south became weaker.

Through observation, he only found that the weather in Wuzhou is smooth and the people in Wuzhou live and work in peace and contentment.

This bloody contrast, can you believe it?

In fact, after Fang Rui inquired, the people of Wuzhou only knew about the severe drought and disasters in the three states in the south, just like hearing how many people died abroad during the epidemic. After-dinner conversation.

It was as if the people on both sides did not live in the same country, the same world.

This gave him a huge sense of space-time dislocation.

……

After entering Wuzhou, Fang Rui had a psychological shadow on the three states in the south. He didn't stop at Wunan, but went deep into Wuzhou and entered Wuzhong.

Until I came to Huaiyin Mansion——

Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan are thin and healthy, and they are no longer allowed to move long distances, so they settled down here.

After settling in Huaiyin Mansion, the Fang family came to the new environment like a nest of ants, and began to stick out their tentacles carefully and low-key.

Time flies by like a white horse.

The embankment beside the Huaihe River is white and white, and another year has passed in a hurry.

……

"One day of salted fish, another day of fooling around!"

Inside the house, the coals were burning red and warm, making one drowsy. Fang Rui counted the time, took off the book of travels that was covering his face, and got up to go to the office.

Outside, the three big catchers under him were gossiping.

"It's another day without a case, it's a pain in the ass!"

"Li Bold, are you so idle? Are you sure it's not because of your mother-in-law?"

"Hey, it's eight catties, a dog can't spit out ivory, let me show you my fist!"

"Li Bold, don't really think that I'm afraid of you... Hey, what are you going to do, Li Bold, you have something to say...Old Gou, help!"

"Alright! Alright!"

A rosaceous nose, looking 50 to [-] years old, an unusually calm middle-aged man sat by the brazier, raised his eyelids: "Niu Bajin, you are also a big headhunter anyway, how decent do you let the people below see you? Also, bold , isn’t it good to be idle? I’m looking forward to being idle all the time and getting paid!”

"Yes, what Lao Gou said makes sense. If you do more than you do, don't you all get that little salary?" Niu Bajin sat aside, took a file, and looked through it lazily.

"What old dog? Call me Lao Xun!" The middle-aged man blew his beard and stared.

"Sigh, I don't have a common topic with you group of big head catchers who are just waiting to die..." Li boldly shook his head.

The three of them were laughing, and Fang Rui came out from inside.

They immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Boss!"

"Okay, there's no need to be so serious. I didn't see you guys being so respectful when I temporarily acted as Yin Zhang's arrester." Fang Rui waved his hand.

"That's different, the past is the past."

"That's right, Lao Gou... No, what Lao Xun said is right, so why don't you say that the new official takes office three fires?" Li boldly rubbed the back of his head.

"Boss, sit down!" Niu Bajin flattered and brought over a chair.

"Sit on the ghost? Didn't you see that I'm about to go down?"

Fang Rui went straight out: "Okay, you all go back early and rest early, it's so cold!"

"No, boss, you have only become a full-time employee for a few days, isn't it good for us to do this? Let's see if there are any other cases..." Li boldly said with itchy hands.

That's right, Fang Rui had become a full-time employee a few days ago, and became a silver medal arrester in the southeast district of Huaiyin Prefecture. He was in charge of several nearby streets.

In the prefecture city, just like Changshan County back then, only the non-ranked yamen servants, nine-rank arresters, eighth-rank head arresters, seventh-rank head arresters, and sixth rank can be regarded as "silver medal arresters", who are in charge of the gods of the first district. The arrest division is divided into yamen.

For these standards, the corresponding strength is the basic condition, and other aspects need to be investigated. For example: Fang Rui's level [-] strength took a year to become a full-time "Silver Medal Catch".

"That's not a good fart! Our southeast district yamen, but because we leave the yamen early, the rate of conviction has decreased? Let's not talk about this..."

Fang Rui turned around and looked directly at the three of them: "I'll just ask you, who is in charge of the arresting department in the Southeast District?"

"Of course it's you!" The three chief catchers said in unison.

"Okay, then listen to me, Xia Ya!"

Fang Rui waved his hand and went straight out.

Outside.

Woohoo!
The cold wind was howling, snowflakes were still floating in the air, and it was freezing cold.

He shook his head, thinking about the three big headhunters under his command: "Li Bold, he is strong, he dares to fight and rush, he is a sharp knife; Xun Buhuo, nicknamed 'Old Dog', is as stable as an old dog, rich in experience and human , the task assigned to him can be done properly every time; Niu Bajin, a related household, good at... flattering? '

Outside, there was already a carriage waiting: "Sir, should we go back directly, or pick up the two ladies?"

"Go to the Four Seas Building first."

"Yes, sir!"

halfway.

Fang Rui got out of the car and was at a familiar roadside stall, ready to buy some donkey meat to take home.

"Hey, Fang Yinzhang is here? Is it still the same old way? I'll wrap it up for you right now, and there's also a side dish inside."

"Thanks." Fang Rui threw the money over.

"Hey, you are really... polite! I've never seen an official as polite as you."

When Fang Rui left, the stall owner raised his chin, pointed at Fang Rui's back with his thumb, and said to the surrounding customers with an air, "See? That Mr. Fang, Fang Yinzhang, is a famous gourmet, and he likes our donkey meat fire." Mile!"

Squeak!

The carriage continued to move forward, with the signboard of the God Detective Department hanging on it. Generally, the big households would take the initiative to give way when encountering them, and went all the way to Sihai Tower.

……

Sihai Building.

This is the largest restaurant in the southeast district, the business is booming, welcomes are greeted and sent, and the daily traffic is like a dragon.

A room in the back.

The majestic stewards who manage restaurants, inns, and caravans outside are standing like students facing the master at this time, listening to the teachings.

"Two Four Seas restaurants, last month's net profit was 830 six taels; six Four Seas inns, last month's net profit... twelve teahouses, last month's net profit... The Four Seas Caravan has also turned losses into profits, and this is a good start !"

"Reward for meritorious deeds and punishment for demerits. The other stewards of Fenghua Street will be rewarded with silver... The gold steward of the teahouse in Yunshui Street will fill his pockets, so he will be dismissed and handed over to the government..."

After the third lady finished summarizing, under the silent eyes of everyone, she continued to speak: "Next, let me talk about the layout for next month. In the next month, the restaurant will be adjusted as follows... As for the caravan, we still have a learning attitude. Follow other big caravans... seek stability... don't ask you to earn a lot of money, the focus is on establishing a news channel..."

In the face of these fine-looking managers, she talks with eloquence, and she has an elite femininity in the workplace.

After everyone disbands.

Only then did Fang Rui enter the door and shouted, "Third Sister!"

"Ah, Brother Rui, when did you come?" The female CEO who gave orders just now suddenly turned into a gentle and caring big sister, with shyness and embarrassment on her pretty face.

As she manages a lot of things, her majesty grows day by day, and she will only show this side in front of Fang Rui and a very few people.

Before and after this, the comparison of his attitude towards others and him made Fang Rui's heart itch, and he couldn't help but hold the third lady in his arms.

"It's been a while, when the third sister was training people. By the way, the third sister was really majestic at that time!" He joked.

"Chirp!"

Two phoenix-tailed swallows emerged from San Niangzi's body out of nowhere.

Although they are small and exquisite, with a body like a swallow and a tail like a phoenix, they are extraordinarily beautiful, but they are extremely dangerous. Under a sneak attack, they can easily kill a sixth-rank warrior.

This is a strange beast that was obtained on the way back then. It has strong combat power and is extremely sensitive to hostility. Fang Rui caught it and domesticated it, and gave it to San Niangzi as a bodyguard.

Not only the third lady, but even Fang Xueshi, Fang Ling, and Nannan had two.

"Brother Rui, you're making fun of me again, just for your sake... Don't, there are people outside!"

In order to prevent Fang Rui from making a fuss, San Niangzi changed the topic and started talking about business: "Brother Rui, didn't you tell me to pay attention to the news from the three southern states? This is the latest."

She handed over a piece of information: "Actually, there is nothing to see. There has been a war over there for the past two years, fighting over and over..."

"Nowadays, it is exaggerated to say that there are ten rooms and nine empty areas in the three southern states, but it is not an exaggeration to say that half of the people are gone."

"Is it?!"

Fang Rui's expression was serious, and he couldn't help sighing when he thought of those old friends in Jiang Ping'an in Yunzhou.

After jumping out of the three states in the southern border, he was even more aware of something wrong if he was not in this mountain.

Among other things, for example, the state capitals of Wuzhou were not affected by the disaster and there was no shortage of food, but they continued to import food to the three states in the south, otherwise it would not be possible to see each other for a year or two.

But is this something that a normal court should do?It's just off the charts.

"Is there any other news?" Fang Rui asked again.

"The imperial army has been dispatched! It's not the local officials from Yun, Lin, and Yue, but the Central Forbidden Army. They have swept away from Linzhou and recovered the land of the three prefectures. This time, it seems to be true..."

'Is it time to start the final harvest? ! '

Fang Rui's eyes were deep.

The water in this big Yu is too deep!He never thought that Dayu could stand for a thousand years just with such a reduction.

'Behind the scenes, there must be more, secrets that I don't know at the moment. '

Fang Rui changed his mind and entered the Shenhun Division to seek establishment. In addition to protecting the Fang family, he also studied deeply to understand Dayu's thoughts.

After all, if you don't understand this behemoth, how can you dare to make troubles to get disaster points?
'So, the end of the universe is compiled? ' he mused a little amusedly, shaking his head.

"By the way, Brother Rui, the caravan brought back a snow sturgeon, which is a foot long. Let's make fish soup tonight? Ling'er and Nannan will definitely like it."

"It's really good to cook fish soup in this weather. I also brought some donkey meat from Zhang Ji's shop to burn. We picked up two little girls and went back immediately."

Fang Rui withdrew his thoughts, nodded with a smile, and went out holding the third lady's hand.

……

Huaiyin Women's College.

"Brother!"

"Brother A Rui! Mother!"

Compared with the previous two years, the two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, were obviously older and taller.

Surrounded by a group of semi-grown women, they rushed out like the king of children.

Yes, there are women's colleges in this world, but basically only in big places like Fucheng, and the fees are so expensive that only wealthy families can afford them.

Of course, although the teaching of reading and literacy is also taught, it is much more relaxed than that of the men's academy, and the content of the teaching is not the same, including some knowledge of embroidery and manners.

"are you tired?"

"Is there anything going on at the academy today?"

Fang Rui, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan were gossiping with the two little girls, and they headed home amidst the creaking sound of the carriage rolling over the fluffy snow.
