Chen Haoyuan has been following Fang Hua for half a year. During this six months, Chen Haoyuan has also learned some things, but Chen Haoyuan has always felt that there is no future in just following others.
Although Fang Hua also promised Chen Haoyuan that as long as Chen Haoyuan stayed with him for a year, Fang Hua would recommend him to his father to be a shopkeeper in Fang's shop, but Chen Haoyuan felt that there was not much future as a shopkeeper. You have to rely on yourself.
Chen Haoyuan wanted to start a small business, but Chen Haoyuan didn't know much about how people in ancient times did business, so Chen Haoyuan wanted to go out with the Fang family caravan to study. After making up his mind, Chen Haoyuan explained his ideas to Fang Hua, and Fang Hua After hearing this, I didn't agree with it at first. As for Fang Huahua, there was no other reason why he didn't agree, it was just too dangerous.
Fang Hua's worries are not unreasonable. He said that the last time Fang Hua went out with the caravan, he almost lost his life. It has been half a year and Fang Zhongxin did not dare to let his son go out again. In fact, Chen Haoyuan also understood that Fang Hua was doing this for his own good. .
However, as the saying goes, "a good man has his ambitions in all directions", Chen Haoyuan would not shrink back because of this danger. In the end, Chen Haoyuan persuaded Fang Hua, and then Fang Hua told his father about the matter. Fang Zhongxin felt that It's good for young people to go out and have fun, so I agreed.
Wang Qingxiang is the manager of the Fangjiazhuang caravan. He is in his forties and a bit short and fat, but he looks energetic and has a shrewd look in his eyes.
Manager Wang Qingxiang usually has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't go out with the caravan every time, but he will definitely go there in person for more important business. There were not many people in the caravan who went out with Fang Hua last time, so Wang Qingxiang didn't go with him. go together.
There are three accountants in Fangjiazhuang's caravan, but one of them was killed by robbers when he went out with Fang Hua last time. When the caravan usually does some small business, these accountants will lead the team. .
Li Yong is the most powerful guard in the Fangjiazhuang caravan. He is about 20 years old. Li Yong has a strong appearance and a strong body. He has also practiced martial arts with Fang Hua before. His strength is comparable to that of the young master Fang Hua. They are comparable to each other.
In addition to Li Yong, the guards in the caravan also included two brothers, Ma Mingyuan and Ma Wanli. There was also one who was killed by the robbers when he went out with Fang Hua last time. Although the martial arts of the two Ma brothers were not as good as Li Yong, they were still quite good. awesome.
Fang Zhongxin, the owner of Fangjiazhuang, also likes to make friends with some heroes in the world. When these people encounter difficulties, Fang Zhongxin will lend a helping hand to them. One of them is Liu Yidao.
Liu Yidao is also quite famous in the world. He is famous for being good at wielding a sharp knife, so people in the world call him Liu Yidao. As for his original name, few people know it.
Liu Yidao encountered some troubles back then. When Liu Yidao learned that Fang Zhongxin, the owner of Fangjiazhuang, was a good person, he liked to help some heroes in the world.
So, Liu Yidao came to Fangjiazhuang and joined Fang Zhongxin. Fang Zhongxin also heard a little about Liu Yidao, so he left Liu Yidao in Fangjiazhuang. Liu Yidao lived in Fangjiazhuang for five years.
During these five years, Fang Zhongxin also asked his son Fang Hua to become Liu Yidao's disciple. Liu Yidao was also short-tongued and short-handed, so he had no choice but to agree to take Fang Hua as his disciple and teach Fang Hua martial arts for five years.
Not only that, Fang Zhongxin also selected four relatively qualified young people in Zhuangzi and asked them to practice martial arts with Fang Hua. Among these four people were the two brothers Li Yong and the Ma family mentioned earlier.
Next, Chen Haoyuan went out to do business with the Fangjiazhuang caravan. Before leaving, Fang Hua kept telling Chen Haoyuan to be careful on the road. Chen Haoyuan was quite touched to see Fang Hua caring about him so much.
Chen Haoyuan followed the caravan for more than ten days and arrived at a place called Yueqiu City. Yueqiu City was quite lively, with people coming and going on the streets, and the sounds of vendors constantly coming from both sides of the streets.
The caravan first found a suitable buyer for the goods it brought, and then bought some local specialties to sell back. After finishing all this, it was already evening, so everyone found an inn in Yueqiu City. After staying for a while, everyone had breakfast the next morning and prepared to go back.
Returning to Fangjiazhuang, the leader of the group Wang Qingxiang asked people to take the goods brought back by the caravan to shops in various counties to buy them. There are shops opened by Fangjiazhuang in several nearby counties. Every time the caravan brought back goods from various places, The goods will be sent to shops in each county for sale. The shops in each county not only help sell the goods but also help receive the goods.
Time passed quickly. Another half year passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Haoyuan also went on several business trips with the caravan. In addition to seeing some of the world, he also learned some experience.
During this period, Fang Zhongxin, the owner of Fangjiazhuang, learned through secret investigation that the group of robbers who had previously attacked his son had been entrenched in Songyunling for a long time. This group of robbers had more than a hundred people and two leaders. These people He often robs passers-by near Songyunling.
Fang Zhongxin gathered five hundred young men in Fangjiazhuang, determined to avenge his son and other dead Fangjiazhuang people. Songyunling was more than a hundred miles away from Fangjiazhuang, so Fang Zhongxin personally led the team to Songyun. ridge.
After the people from Fangjiazhuang arrived in Songyunling, they began to attack the robbers in Songyunling. The robbers in Songyunling were caught off guard. The robbers in Songyunling only numbered more than a hundred people, and Fangjiazhuang this time But a full five hundred people came, and the number of people in Fangjiazhuang was three times that of Songyunling.
As a result, the Songyunling robbers were no match at all and were quickly beaten by the people of Fangjiazhuang. The rest of the robbers escaped together, Fangjiazhuang was considered a complete victory this time, and Fang Zhongxin finally avenged his son and other dead people.
Jin Dynasty - Since Emperor Gaoxi of Jin Yuan Dynasty came to the throne, there have been constant natural and man-made disasters. In addition, the emperor is incompetent and treacherous ministers are in power in the court. As a result, the people of Jin Dynasty live in dire straits every day. As time goes on, more and more uprisings occur. However, every day The number of people who rebelled was not large, and at most tens of thousands of people rebelled, they would soon be eliminated by the local government.
There were sixteen states in the Jin Dynasty, namely Lingzhou, Qingzhou, Chenzhou, Jiangzhou, Yuanzhou, Jinzhou, Jizhou, Binzhou, Shangzhou, Wanzhou, Xiangzhou, Luzhou, Yuzhou, Tongzhou, Shanzhou and Yizhou (a state here is equivalent to a province today).
Recently, Chen Haoyuan heard that there was a rebellion in Lingzhou, and the rebellion was getting more and more violent. Because the rebellion was so violent, the Lingzhou governor sent 20,000 officers and soldiers to suppress it, but it ended in failure.
The defeat of the official army greatly increased the confidence of the rebels. The rebels have now grown to more than 20,000 people. The rebel leader Liu Jinrong also proclaimed himself King of Wei not long ago, and then led the rebels to attack cities and territories everywhere.
The leader of the rebel army, Liu Jinrong, was originally a landowner in Lingzhou, and his family also owned hundreds of acres of land. However, due to the heavy taxes imposed by the court and the repeated disasters in Lingzhou, Liu Jinrong was extremely annoyed. In the end, he could not stand the oppression of the government and led the villagers. Rise up.
The number of rebels was increasing, and Song Baochang, the governor of Lingzhou, had nothing to do with them at this time. Song Baochang sent 20,000 officers and soldiers to annihilate Liu Jinrong's rebels last time, but he was defeated by the rebels.
Song Baochang didn't have many troops at his disposal now. In the end, Song Baochang had to report the matter to the court and request the court to send troops to quell the rebellion.
