Looking by the window, the rolling river water flows eastward, and the passing ships are shuttled. The lively and busy scenes on the pier can be seen at a glance. Pedestrians and business trips are bustling with endless streams. Various vehicles that are up and down from the pier have special passages to bypass the main street and directly lead to the market and warehouses close to the pier. This is not only convenient for inspection by the tax inspection department personnel, but also convenient for the passage of guests and goods. The design is quite reasonable.

The food street is close to the market and warehouse area. Perhaps it is mainly because of the main target of attracting these merchants who come and go to various places to make generous moves. The chefs from all over the Empire who are skilled in various dishes have set up camp here and built restaurants that cater to the tastes of merchants from all over the country. This not only satisfies the different tastes of merchants, but also further prospers the local food culture.

"Master, it seems very lively here. I didn't expect that Jiujiang is so prosperous. It seems different from what you said last night." When I went out, Wufeng had already told the four girls to be careful when speaking and not to reveal their identity, so all the names of Wufeng were used by the neutral word "Master".

Seeing Yun Yi's confused gaze, Wufeng snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "This is just a gold and jade. This is the area with the most wealth of Jiujiang Prefecture. Jiujiang Prefecture is mainly based on commerce, and water transportation is the main channel of transportation here. Most of the people who can operate here are giant merchants, so the business here will be so prosperous. If you have time to go and see the suburbs outside Jiujiang Prefecture, the situation may be different."

Although he was lowering his voice, Wufeng still didn't want to discuss sensitive topics in such places. He used his eyes to signal the girls not to mention such issues anymore. Instead, it was the top priority to taste the fresh and fragrant dishes in front of him.

Just as Wu Feng and his party were fully focused on enjoying the food, a burst of noise came from the street downstairs from a distance to a near. Looking out the window, a team of soldiers wearing Taiping Army uniforms were chasing two men with flying swords.

"Catch them! Lord Cheng has an order, and catch the rebellion of the Huangshan Sect, and there is a heavy reward!" The leader of the panting leader waved his heavy Park Dao and tried to catch up with the other party, but the two figures were obviously not worried. They seemed to be at ease in the crowd. Although there were many people on the street carrying weapons, they were all bodyguards who followed the big merchants. They were obviously not interested in engaging in these nostalgies, and they all hugged their hands to avoid the side. The two agile figures quickly disappeared deep in the alley adjacent to the main street, leaving behind a team of soldiers who were still yelling and searching.

Seeing that the fun had passed, the guests who were dining upstairs returned to their respective positions and continued their unfinished dinners, but the topic naturally changed and the scene just now came.

"Brother Liu, this Huangshan Sect is really stubborn. Now General Cheng has managed the Jiujiang Prefecture in a stable manner, but the Huangshan Sect cannot be subdued. I didn't expect that they would dare to come to this city to act wildly. Isn't this seeking death?" Although there was a screen, the voices of the next door were still coming without any restraint.

"I don't think it's necessary. Brother Li, you are from another place, and you may not know some situations. You don't think about it. Why is the Huangshan Sect against General Cheng? Will there be no one to support or instruct? Think more about it. It turns out that the Huangshan Sect is the largest martial arts sect in our Jiujiang Prefecture. Many of their disciples join the imperial army. At this time, although the imperial army was driven out of Jiujiang, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Huangshan Sect is not a vegetarian. Of course, they will not give up so easily. And looking at the Huangshan Sect is still so active now, you can also think that there are people who support them locally." The voice called Brother Liu was obviously willing to show off his news and speak out.

"But Brother Liu, I think your colleagues respect General Cheng very much. General Cheng's policies to merchants here are quite good now, and they are much better than when the empire ruled. Isn't these enough to win everyone's support?" The merchant surnamed Li asked in surprise.

"This is hard to describe. Although the policy of General Cheng Dajun is good, you also know who is behind General Cheng Dajun. How long can these policies last? Also, how much effect can this General Cheng Dajun occupy the lonely place in Jiujiang Prefecture? Although the imperial army has not yet taken action, once it takes action, who can explain the future? It's hard, my brother, you have to be sharp and have to take a long-term view of making a living in our Jiujiang Prefecture. I haven't heard that the merchant gentry who fought fiercely with Taiping in Guanxi was immediately cleaned up after the King of Northwest took over. If you have a good end, you can end up as a military force and a equitable force. The only one who has bad ends is to say goodbye to this world. The lesson of the past is to be careful." The voice of the merchant surnamed Liu suddenly lowered octaves, so small that he could hardly even hear the Wufeng skill in his ears. It was obvious that the two were whispering.

"Oh, no wonder that's the case. I said why everyone has a lukewarm relationship with this place, but the county magistrate is better off now. If you are so slandering, aren't you worried that General Cheng will kill him?" The businessman surnamed Li pondered for a moment and then asked again.

"Who said we are slanderous? We will not lose a single tax on the tax we should pay. As for the rest, we should just maintain a suitable degree. Most of the officials under General Cheng are still the original members of our Jiujiang Prefecture. Although they have not become generals and work hard, they have to consider their own funerals. If they force everyone to be cruel, aren't they afraid that if the situation changes, they will have no way out? Brother, many things are not as simple as you imagined. Although General Cheng is brave in war, he is a warrior and an outsider. Many things still have to rely on our locals in Jiujiang Prefecture. I dare not say that a strong dragon will not suppress local snakes, but I still have to sell them to our chamber of commerce. Brother, do business with me, don't worry, if there is any problem, I will take everything for you." The content of the words gradually turned back to business, and the voices of the two gradually returned to their original state.

It seems that although Cheng Dayou's rule in Jiujiang is relatively stable on the surface, it is not as glorious as outsiders see. The conservative and conservative gentry is still hostile to his identity as a Taiping scholar. His unintentional act in Kansai would have such a great deterrent to those fence-bearing merchants, making the merchants dare not turn to the other side completely. This was unexpected by Wufeng. In addition, he heard what the boss of the ship said on the ship that ordinary farmers could not get benefits from changing their masters, while the north made the action of dividing wealth and occupying the land and equalizing the wealth and poverty, which would only arouse these people even more jealousy and dissatisfaction. The power of these three really exploded together. Can Cheng Dayou resist it?

Wufeng cannot understand what Cheng Dayou is thinking now. Jiujiang's situation is not optimistic. Due to his bad relationship with the Taiping Cult headquarters, if there is a situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to obtain support from the north.

Cheng Dayou is indeed very troubled now. There are storm waves hidden behind the surface of Jiujiang Prefecture. He knows this better than anyone else. He needs time and conditions to suppress all this, but no one will give him time and opportunity. It is time to show off. Situ Mingyue will not die sooner or later, but she will die at this time. This also forces the forces that were still negotiating with him to suddenly change his attitude and ask him to make his position immediately, otherwise •;•;•;•;•;

I hated that I had just a moment of thinking that I had been thrown into the arms of the Taiping Army and ended up not being accepted by the powerful traditional forces. The gentry had been slanderous all day long, but I was unable to make up my mind to kill them all. Is it because my butcher's knife was dull or my leisurely life was used to wipe out my ambitions. I reflected countless times, but the result was not. He had to think twice before he could act. Once the butcher's knife was swung, he was afraid that he would never compromise with any of the Situ family representing traditional forces, and would face the siege from these conservative forces. The Maqikhans would not devote their efforts to outsiders, and at that time he could only face it alone. This was the main reason why he did not dare to act rashly.

But if I didn't choose the Taiping Army, how could I easily have such a large military power and territory? Cheng Dayou had to admire and envy the idol in Northwest. He had such good luck and such a good opportunity. Almost everything good things made him catch up with. But he wanted to imitate the other party, but when he really came to this point, he realized that the originally bright road was waiting for you to see clearly, but there was darkness and thorns below.

It's time to make a choice. Although Cheng Dayou also knows that he is not a gentleman who will last forever, he also doesn't like this kind of effectiveness that knows it is not a companion. After all, it is difficult to accept the reputation of abandoning the master. Li Wufeng, if you can control Jincheng, I can seize Huanggang as a meeting gift, but now, I can only give up on you. People without strength will never be valued. Cheng Dayou has always believed in this. Although Li Wufeng has sent people to contact, it cannot quell the near thirst. Cheng Dayou has never thought of giving up his army and committing to someone alone. After leaving the army, he knows that he is nothing.
