"I wonder if my adopted brother is still here?"
Looking at Chaoge City from a distance, Jiang Ziya picked up a handful of dust and scattered it... The next moment, his body appeared in Songjiazhuang, thirty-five miles outside the south gate of Chaoge!
Looking up, the courtyard remains the same and the green willows remain forever. Except for the different guard at the door, everything is just as it was when I left!
Walking to the door, Jiang Ziya asked the doorman: "Is your wife at home?"
"Who are you?"
The guard looked at Jiang Ziya with some confusion, why had he never seen this old man before?
"You just said that our old friend Jiang Ziya is visiting us."
"Please wait a moment."
Although Jiang Ziya at this time is not the seventy-two-year-old when he came down from the mountain in the original plot, he is still in his sixties now!
You know, even in the world of immortals and gods, it is basically impossible for a mortal to reach the age of 40 and have no assets at home! If you can live to be sixty years old, you must be powerful. How can the guard dare to neglect you?
In the manor, Song Yiren was settling accounts at this time... This year he had just joined forces with the imperial court to plant sweet potatoes. I am busy harvesting and paying taxes these days.
"Outside the door, an old friend Jiang Ziya is visiting!"
"Jiang Ziya?"
Song Yiren thought for a moment and suddenly recalled this familiar yet unfamiliar name!
Didn’t my sworn brother go to Kunlun Mountain to seek immortality and practice? Are you back now after studying successfully?
When he thought of becoming an immortal and living forever, Song Yiren couldn't care less about ordinary people's affairs. He immediately dropped his account book and rushed out the door...
"Brother, I haven't seen you in decades, you are getting old..."
"Brother..."
After the two people hugged each other with emotion, Song Yiren finally came to his senses and welcomed him into the village.
After serving tea, drinking wine, eating, and washing up, Song Yiren was able to chat with him in detail.
"My dear brother, I wonder if you can find a true immortal when you go to Kunlun Mountain this time? Can you learn the art of immortality?"
"this……"
Looking at his brother's burning eyes, Jiang Ziya didn't know what to say...
After thinking about it, the original Tianzun did not let him conceal his mission down the mountain. The other party regarded him as his brother and helped him take care of his family. He simply said clearly: "I did become a teacher and practiced some magic. But his qualifications are limited. , I am not good at studying. My master has said that the Great Shang Dynasty should be destroyed and the Western Zhou Dynasty should be prosperous. He specially ordered me to come down from the mountain to assist Ming Jun and wait for the day when he can be crowned a god and become an immortal!"
Originally, Jiang Ziya thought that what he said would definitely gain his brother's support... But who knew that when he finished speaking, Song Yiren actually showed disdain!
"It seems that my dear brother is not a true immortal even though he is a master!"
"Brother, be careful what you say!"
Jiang Ziya was startled and quickly stepped forward to cover Song Yiren's mouth... The person I worship is indeed not a real immortal, but a saint!
You dare to slander the saint...Brother, you are so brave!
"I am not lying when I say this,"
Song Yiren slapped Jiang Ziya's hand away and picked up a piece of sweet potato from the corner of the house... The harvest was too high and the cellars and warehouses built could not store all the crops, so they could only be piled up in the living room.
"My dear brother, do you know what this is?"
"It looks like it's food?"
Jiang Ziya held it in his hand, looked at it, and said hesitantly.
"What my dear brother said is true, it is indeed food. And it is a blessing from heaven that the king has received!"
Song Yiren nodded, stood up and saluted in the direction of the palace. Then he introduced it to Jiang Ziya: "This product is called sweet potato. It can be planted on wasteland. The yield is sixty stones per mu and does not occupy cultivated land!"
"Sixty stones per mu?!"
Jiang Ziya was shocked instantly! You must know that he is different from other disciples in the teachings. Others focus on cultivation, but he focuses on learning the methods of government and the method of running an army!
Others may not understand the meaning of sweet potatoes, so why doesn’t he? With this thing, the human race will no longer have to worry about hunger!
"Yes, the yield per mu is sixty stones! And a few months ago, Fengming Chaoge!"
Song Yiren said with great pride: "My dear brother, Fengming Chaoge is recognized by the Holy Mother; the heavenly general Sweet Potato is auspicious, his merits are immeasurable, and his merits are comparable to Shen Nong... When the two are superimposed, my dear brother said that the great merchants should be destroyed. , isn’t it a joke?
Let alone a few days in advance, the battle in Beihai will be decided, Jizhou will be defeated, and the merchants will be extremely fierce... My dear brother, your master said that the merchants should be destroyed and the Western Zhou Dynasty should be prosperous. Where does this come from? "
"this……"
Jiang Ziya was silent. He wanted to say that his master was a saint and would never make mistakes.
But after thirty-three years of studying political and military skills, he really couldn't say against his will that the fate of the great merchants and the country was about to end.
No, don’t say that the country’s destiny is just about to end. With a sweet potato, even if it is a rebellion, the great merchants can get the support of all the people in the world, and their luck is sky-high!
"You have nothing to say?"
Seeing that Jiang Ziya was silent, Song Yiren stroked his chin beard proudly: "Xiandi, since you have returned, you cannot complete your mission and cannot live forever. How about finding some career to revive the Jiang family. Now you can live peacefully in my house. We can wait until we have established a career or get married. You and I have known each other since we were young, and we are not ordinary people."
Jiang Ziya thought for a while, and it seemed that what the elder brother said made sense... Anyway, with the current prosperity of Dashang, he really didn't think there was any chance of rebellion in the Western Zhou Dynasty!
Since not, then settle down first... wait until the situation changes, and then complete the master's mission!
So, with the help of Song Yiren, Jiang Ziya temporarily settled down in Songjiazhuang...
Later, through the introduction of his brother, he got married to the sixty-five-year-old daughter Ma Yuanwai... But in ancient times, how could a sixty-five-year-old girl not get married be a good person?
Not to mention his appearance, he has a very controlling personality! In order for Jiang Ziya to settle down, he was constantly asked to try various jobs.
Although Jiang Ziya was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey... Unfortunately, he did not know whether he was guilty of Tai Sui. Jiang Ziya was in a mess in any business.
Selling noodles, he was kicked down by the army and horses and scattered all over the ground; Selling fences, but he didn't know how to hawk, so no one bought them, so it was a waste of labor; Opening a shop, it was going to rain heavily, rice, vegetables and wine were not stored properly, all expired and went rancid; Selling pigs A living sheep, a ferocious beast on the official road but I don’t know where it came from. I sucked it hard and put it all in my mouth...
All in all, I made more than a dozen transactions, but all came to nothing.
Ma was impatient and in a fit of rage, he beat him and called him a clothes hanger who only knew how to eat and drink!
The rift between husband and wife and the discord in the family are terrible!
For a moment, Jiang Ziya actually felt some resentment towards his master, why did he drive him down the mountain for no reason... The task could not be completed, and there was no way to make a living. It was really tragic!
............
The human palace, the harem.
On this day, Emperor Xin was frustrated and did not dare to go to the central palace to look for Daji. He was afraid that he would be entangled by the queen and the second concubine again. In addition, the affairs of the court were all controlled by the grand master.
But following him to the palace gate, Bigan, who had arrived early with the news, was already waiting here.
"The king is leaving the palace?"
"Um...Uncle Wang is not helping with political affairs in the Grand Master's Mansion, why are you here?"
Di Xin looked at Bigan with some surprise. This was the first time he saw Uncle Wang before he went to court...
