Zheng He's car sedan went from Nanning to Lang Son. Because he got sick in the middle, he didn't walk fast. But because of this delay, he regretted it now.

There were crowds of people on the official road, and there were even several places where the wheels of some cars were stuck in mud due to the narrow roads. So suddenly, hundreds or thousands of large trucks were blocked from behind.

Those merchants and accompanying people were scolding each other. Someone said, "After passing through Guangxi and entering Langshan, the road will be much better. The official roads here in Guangxi have always been muddy and are heavily wet. When you wake up early in the morning, the ground will be wet. But Langshan is different. They are all covered with gravel and then sprinkled with mud, and the car goes quickly."

So some people sighed that some dealers had already seized this kind of thing, picked tea and pastries to sell, and the business was pretty good.

Many merchants came in a hurry after hearing the concession and the Yanjiang Pass. More than half of them came for the first time and felt that everything was fresh. They took advantage of this opportunity to chat with the merchants who had been to Langshan. Those who had been there were also sighs: "No matter who you are, whether you are doing business or studying, you will not interfere with the river. The yamen there are also more tolerant. As long as you do serious business and work hard, no one will pay attention to you."

"There is a lot of money there, but I earn a lot of money. Now, everyone is buying land and building houses in the Marquis' Mansion. There is no house in Lang Son, and people don't believe it."

"You have to exchange silver notes when you go. It's convenient to use. Don't bluff. Tell you the truth. In the past, we were able to carry a bundle of one bag and a few hundred taels of silver. Although we were still uneasy, we still had real money and were still at ease. But now it's different. Look at your batch of goods, when you arrive in Lang Son, you can sell thousands of taels of silver. Can you carry so much money? There are also ways to divide the silver into several portions and let your partner carry it. But what if they run away? After thinking about it, although the silver notes are just a piece of paper, they always feel uneasy, but the Hao family is still guaranteed. And the merchants there are willing to collect the bill, so they are still exchanged properly."

"It is best not to eat in the restaurant when you go there. The prices there are too expensive, and a table of wine and food cannot be paid for hundreds of dollars. It is scary. In Guangdong, it is enough to hire a short-term worker for half a month. You have to find places with fast food flags, which are cheap there. It costs five cents to eat, and ten cents to eat. If it costs twenty cents, you can also give a cup of wine and ginseng soup."

"There are many noble people there, but they don't bully people by their power. They will still be able to take them together. They will never make things difficult for us outsiders on purpose. There are fewer steals. Look, if there is a purpose of a deer, the shop along the street will blow the bamboo whistle hanging around their necks and send people immediately. So when you go there, you have to spend a few cents to buy a bamboo whistle, and hang a red rope and hang it around your neck. But you are not allowed to blow randomly. If someone comes to find out, you will find that.

You are joking, and you must be escorted to discipline for a few days. Look, this is the bamboo whistle. I went up to buy it, and it blew it, it was very interesting. Everyone has one hand there for emergency needs. If you encounter a bandit, or you are hit by a big cart, you have a dispute with others, and you can blow it. There are guards everywhere, wearing black shirts and holding bamboo sticks. You don’t mess with others. If something happens, they will come."

"There are also schools there. Now seven or eight schools are open, all of which are open for education. The child is allowed to go to school and pay 100 yuan a month. Then again, who does not have a few thousand yuan in money for work there? Even the wife can go out to work, but the weaving workshop is very taboo. There are women all over the place, and men are not allowed to go in. If you do well in a month, you can spend 100 yuan a month and let your children read and write. After all, the children still have to watch at home. The adults go out to work. Who will take care of? Not only can they learn things in the school, but they will not worry. Yes, there is also a Langshan Academy that recruits many great scholars, but they are all great scholars in Jiaozhi. Hehe, I can't explain it..."

Many of these remarks were made by the tireless discussion in the cart, which made many people stunned. If there were any words, they felt good, and they couldn't help but nodded, stroked their beards and jaws, which seemed to be exactly what I wanted. However, sometimes when they heard that women also went out to work or exchange silver notes, they couldn't help but tremble their lips and their heads began to sway horizontally. Although they were not good at whispering something in their hearts, they always felt blocked in their hearts. They felt that the place where Langshan and the Han and the Yi lived together was indeed not educated.

However, there were many people in the crowd, and they listened with relish. In fact, many so-called people came with the caravan and did chores for merchants for free in order to follow Lang San. Now everyone knows that Lang San has work, food, and can save money. Young people want to rush over to make a living. After such people go, they don’t plan to go back in the short term, and they don’t go back to their hometown without making a personal appearance.

Zheng He sat in his sedan chair and heard the loud noise, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough. He never expected that Hao Fenglou would play new tricks in Lang San. He admired this senior brother, but he always felt that something was wrong. Zheng He was actually a very open-minded person, but obviously he was a little unacceptable to this senior brother.

At this time, people outside were still talking about it, saying: "Now Lang Son has no farmland, and many forests have been opened. Who still farms now? Do you know how many people there are in this small county? At least 800,000, which is still light. Let me tell you the truth that hundreds of inns are all full. There is also a kind of inn that is built with bricks. It is as high as seven or eight floors, which is extremely ugly. However, there are hundreds of rooms. Some rooms are just a bed, and seven or eight people sleep in, but it is cheap. They can sleep for a night for three cents. Many of the guys who go with them can only give in there, and when they find a job, they will find a way to change to another place."

"Ah... the road is open, it's open, go quickly, go quickly, and if you don't leave, you won't know when it will get blocked."

All the teams started to set off slowly again, and the entire official road has now become a marching ant colony, spreading to the end.

Zheng He also lifted up his sedan chair and walked around and stopped all the way. Sometimes he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came out to walk a few steps with the support of a plainclothes guard. When he arrived at Lang Sang County, the official road was indeed much better. The road was bustling along the way, and it didn't look like a barren official road? It was clearly a downtown city.

When he arrived at Lang Son, Zheng He was shocked when he saw that there were buildings everywhere, all in the shape of a Pin-shaped street, and there was no end to see from south to north. The shops along the street were bustling, and there was noisy everywhere. It didn't look like a county town, but the provincial town didn't look like this. It was a bit similar to Nanjing City. Of course, it was just a bit like the market in the outer city, and of course it was not as grand as Nanjing City.

All the people who came in here were very fresh. They looked around and felt that this place seemed familiar to other places in the Ming Dynasty, but it was a little different, familiar and unfamiliar.

Zheng He was not interested in strolling here at the moment. He found a tea shop and sat down, held a towel and called some refreshments, and then ordered someone to go to the Hou Mansion to inform him.

After a while, the bamboo whistle sounded, and then many people came in. The leader was Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou was wearing a wide casual suit and a hat on his head. When he entered the tea shop, many guards also flocked in, ignoring the eyes of the others in the tea shop. Hao Fenglou's eyes fell on Zheng He. Then he smiled, walked forward quickly, and wanted to give Zheng He a hug.

Zheng He hurriedly hurriedly avoided and coughed a few times: "Senior brother, our family is sick, sick..."

"Is sick?" Hao Fenglou frowned and quickly whispered to the people around him, and the man went quickly.

Hao Fenglou took his arm and said, "Let's go to the Hou Mansion first. My best doctor will come and see. We haven't seen each other for a while. I, a senior brother, have a lot to say to you."

Zheng He couldn't stand this enthusiasm. Didn't he know that Hao Fenglou is now meeting his junior brother in a foreign land, and he was really happy?

The two of them left the tea shop one by one, and then got into the car. When they were about to arrive at the Marquis' Mansion, Zheng He coughed so hard that the road ahead was blocked again.

Hao Fenglou had to help him get out of the car. When he saw it, he realized that many cars carrying sand, stone, and earth and buildings in front occupied the road. A guard wanted to go forward to drive it away, but Zheng He waved his hand.

He looked around and saw the outline of the Marquis' Mansion from a distance. It was surrounded by mountains and waters. There was a plain in front of it, covering a large area. The newly built courtyard wall was more than two meters high. Even so, it could not hide the pavilions and pavilions inside. In front of the Marquis' Mansion, many roads had been built in the shape of a pin character. The open spaces and grounds on the road had been leveled, and they were all under construction. At first glance, there were tens of thousands of people working within ten miles. On the road, countless trucks were coming and going, transporting wood and bricks and stones. Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "Junior brother, the house is being built here, it is a little noisy and there is a lot of dust. Since the car cannot pass, you are sick, I will order someone to carry you there."

Zheng He looked at Hao Fenglou with a wry smile. What he saw and heard today really shocked him, but now he didn't know what to say, but just said, "It's okay, our family is a hard-working life and is born to serve people. How can we spoil this way? Let's go over together."
