After listening to the old man's description, Zhang Liang felt that the strategy of Yangzhou was very difficult, and his Taiping Road was likely to have no market here.

But he was a little unwilling to give up and continued to ask:

"Brother-in-law, today the treacherous ministers are in power, and the people are suffering.

Have you heard of the Taiping Road to save the people by sending Fushui?”

The old man nodded and said:

"Taipingdao, I have heard of this old man. Some people in Yangzhou were preaching before.

Before Governor Yuan came to Yangzhou, the people of Yangzhou were also suffering and were no different from other prefectures and counties.

Many people join Taiping Road in order to have a full meal.

But now that the people are living a wealthy life, who will give up their family business and hang out with a group of Taoist priests?

It’s better to work hard and get the military pay more comfortable.

Young man, do you think that's the case?"

Zhang Liang humbly saluted the old man and said:

"My father-in-law is right, thank you for helping me."

After saying that, he gave Huang Long a wink.

Huang Long immediately understood and took out a thousand coins from his sleeve and handed them to the old man:

"Brother-in-law, this is what our young master thanks for."

If the people of other prefectures and counties saw a thousand dollars, how could they not be jealous?

But the old man calmly refused the money ticket and said to Zhang Liang:

"I feel relieved when I can chat with you, the young man.

How can I charge you money?

To be honest, old man, two of my four sons have become elite soldiers in Yangzhou.

Every month, the award of merit award given to the family by the governor is only a few thousand yuan, and the old man has no place to spend this money."

After hearing this, Zhang Liang bowed to the old man and said:

"Since that's the case, then I have to thank my father."

The old man laughed and said:

"You look like a scholar and speak in a very literary way.

Our governors are now short of talents, and anyone with talent can recommend themselves at the Recruitment Hall.

If the young master is going, he may be valued by the governor.”

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for telling me, that junior will say goodbye first."

After saying goodbye to the old man, Zhang Liang frowned and sighed, saying to Huanglong and Liu Shi:

"Let's go, let's go back to Julu."

The two were very confused when they heard this, and Liu Shi asked:

"Master, aren't we going to Yangzhou to establish a few Qushangs?

Now that there is no one of the church members, why are you going back?"

Zhang Liang was very depressed and asked Liu Shi:

"If you are a citizen of Yangzhou, your family has land, houses and spare money.

The family lives a prosperous life and is happy.

Will you join Taiping Road?”

Liu Shiliu replied for granted:

"Then I definitely don't. Let alone have fields and houses, if you have a full meal to eat..."

Halfway through the words, Liu Shi couldn't continue and looked at Zhang Liang with horror.

Zhang Liang nodded and chuckled to the two:

"Look, you have discovered it too. Yangzhou has no soil for my Taipingdao to survive.

Let's go, we didn't come in vain, we just happened to inform God of the situation here."

Huang Long, who was standing beside him, said to Zhang Liang anxiously:

"Man, Yangzhou is a major state in the world.

Especially in recent years, the population has increased day by day.

If we don’t establish several Qus in Yangzhou, it may be detrimental to the great cause of God!”

Zhang Liang responded in a deep voice:

"I don't know what you said?

But we really have no means to attract the people of Yangzhou to join Taiping Road.

Should we use force to threaten the people of Yangzhou?

Let's go, when the uprising is up, God will make their own arrangements for Yangzhou.

As the saying goes, how can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?

Once my Taiping Road swept the world, Yangzhou is just something we can take."

...

At the hour of You, Shouchun City Commercial Street.

Night falls and lights are on.

The entire commercial street is still very lively, especially brothel theaters, restaurants and gambling shops.

The nightlife of the people of Shouchun has just begun.

In a finely decorated restaurant, two men were drinking and watching the moon on the terrace of the restaurant.

It was Wang Yue and his old friend Xu Shao.

Wang Yue picked up a sip of the dish, took another sip of the wine happily, and said to Xu Shao with a show of his life:

"Zi Jiang, when the Yuedan commented, you rated my master as "the evil wolf in Luoyang, the fierce ghost in the road".

Maybe I thought that now our lord has become a governor and the people under his command are rich, and this Shouchun City is so prosperous under my lord?"

Xu Shao looked at the bustling crowd downstairs. The nightlife in Shouchun City was already more lively than Luoyang.

He grabbed the wine pot on the table, took a big sip of wine, and said with a worried look on his face:

"This Greedy Wolf is so popular with the people, it is a disaster but not a blessing for me."

Seeing Xu Shao take a big mouthful, Wang Yue said with distress:

"Oh, drink it gently.

This is the "laughing world" that the lord rewarded me. Do you know how expensive this wine is?

I only rewarded several bottles after completing a special mission.

You have to savor this kind of good wine carefully, do you understand?”

Wang Yue was chattering here, but Xu Shao was like he didn't see him.

His eyes were staring straight into the sky, and his face was inexplicably shocked.

"My brother, what happened?" Wang Yue patted Xu Shao.

My old friend is a charlatan and often stares at the sky and talks to himself. Wang Yueyue has become accustomed to this.

However, there are not many times when you have rich expressions like today, so something must have happened.

After being beaten by Wang Yue, Xu Shao came to his senses. He said to Wang Yue with a little worried expression:

"Just just now, I looked up at the celestial phenomena and found that the five generals, the blue dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the black womb, and the unicorn, shining brightly.

It must be that these five gods are about to find opportunities and take advantage of the situation.

Brother Wang Yue, the strength of these five gods is probably not inferior to you.

You said that so many famous generals suddenly emerged in the world, will they be in chaos soon?

According to my previous calculations, the chaos in the world has only been in the past two or three years.”

Looking at Xu Shao's worried look, Wang Yue patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"My brother, you can rest in Shouchun with peace of mind.

Brother promises you that no matter what chaos in the world is, Shouchun City will not be in chaos.

To be honest, under my command, there are three people who are not inferior to my Wang Yue.
