He began to walk in along the signboard, because he was wearing a Confucian shirt and knew that he was a scholar.

So unless he speaks, no one will show him the way.

Because there is no need at all, all the road signs are clearly written and just follow along.

Slowly walking into the pier where cars and horses are prohibited from entering, looking at the bustling crowd, Chen Jie's heart gradually became cold and sinking.

The square city, which is usually enough for three carriages to run parallel to the outside, is bustling with people, and the shops on both sides have obviously been prepared for a long time.

It is true that more than [-]% of the shops related to the nobles of the capital have closed their shops in the capital, but they have all opened here!

Among the crowd, Chen Jie saw many familiar faces, and they were merchants from all over the world.

There are dozens of shops on a main road, and the whole road is almost crowded with people coming and going!

After turning around a few streets and stopping in front of a few shops to observe, Chen Jie finally understood why carriages and horses were not allowed to enter.

There is no need for cars and horses to come in for small batch purchases. It is inconvenient for so many people to come in.

Just follow the instructions of the shopkeeper and the guys, and hire a few moving guys to help move it outside the square market.

And the bulk transactions are not carried out in the store at all, but through the store and around a few street corners to the huge warehouse by the pier.

"It's okay...it's okay...they still have no food! They have no food!!"

Chen Jie comforted himself in his heart with a pale face. It was also at this time that he saw a man dressed as a government servant in soap clothes passing through the street beating the gong.

"Dangdangdang~~~"

The crowd paused at the sound of the gong, and then made way for them.

But I saw these yamen servants staring loudly at the same time as they walked.

"Eunuch Qian from Yizhou returned to Beijing with 50 shi of grain! We landed in a quarter of an hour! All the grain shops in the square will sell it for sale, and there is no limit to the purchase of one tael and one shi!!"

"Have 50 shi of grain back to Beijing! There is no limit to the purchase of one tael and one shi at the grain shop in the workshop!!"

Hearing these words, Chen Shenyi's eyes suddenly widened, and a strange sound of "clack..." came out of his throat.

"boom!!!"

A huge explosion roared from a distance, and there was an uproar in the square city.

Chen Shenyi was so frightened by the loud noise that he collapsed all of a sudden. Fortunately, Uncle De beside him quickly supported him.

"Everyone, don't panic! Everyone, don't panic! It's just His Majesty trying a new cannon!!"

The yamen servant seemed to have known this for a long time, and stood on a stake, knocking on the gong and shouting "Boom, boom, boom~".

"Everyone can buy food at will, one or two and one stone! Unlimited!!"

Chen Shenyi's whole body was shaking like a broken sieve, and his whole body was instantly as cold as a corpse.

He struggled and tried to get up, but he fell down several times with a "plop~!"

"No...no! The old man doesn't believe it!!" Seeing that he seemed to be insane, he actually threw off Uncle De and rushed straight to the yamen servant.

Seeing that he was wearing Confucian shirts, several yamen servants didn't dare to do anything to him. If it was someone else, they would have been pressed and cleaned up.

"Sir... what don't you believe, sir?!" The yamen servant felt uncomfortable being grabbed by him, but he didn't dare to do it, so he could only show a smile that was uglier than crying.

Chen Shenyi's entire face was distorted. His face was ferocious like a ghost, and his eyes were as red as a dying jackal: "Food! 50 shi of grain!!"

"Eunuch Qian brought it back from Yizhou, and now it has landed and started unloading..."

The yamen servant said weakly: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the pier to have a look..."

Hearing these words, Chen Shenyi seemed to collapse all of a sudden, he was actually paralyzed...

But he suddenly seemed crazy again, running towards the pier with red eyes!

Regardless of the fact that the Confucian shirt on his body was already covered with dust, he squeezed away the crowd and ran towards the pier with red eyes.

The closer to the pier, the more people gathered, and the pier had already been blocked for grain unloading.

But crowds can watch the sacks of grain being unloaded from huge seagoing ships at the side end of the pier.

But I saw an old man with a white face who didn't need to wear an official's robe, slowly stepped onto a wooden box and said loudly to the people on the pier

"Masters and elders in the capital, our family's money can be ordered by His Majesty to go to Yizhou to raise food! Now we have raised 50 shi of food, so you don't have to worry about food!!"

As he spoke, he ordered someone to carry a sack.

It turned out to be holding a dagger and "wow~" when the flowers bloomed, the white rice in the bag was suddenly exposed.

"Your Majesty has ordered all the grain shops in Dockfang City to sell this grain on their behalf! One or two and one stone are necessary to protect the people of the capital!!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately froze.Then several voices shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is blessed for thousands of years, and loves the people so much~!!"

"His Majesty is blessed forever!!"

The people in the capital couldn't help but burst into tears when they heard this, and some even knelt down in excitement.

Good man!This is really a good man!Still, His Majesty still has the people of the capital in his heart, one tael and one stone is cheaper than before the price increase!

In our capital, the price of food has soared recently, which almost made people panic. Now that Eunuch Qian brought back 50 shi of grain, the price of food has been relieved in an instant!

"Plop~!" Chen Jie and Chen Shenyi's eyes were dull, his face was pale, his whole body was shaking like a broken sieve, and he sat on the ground and stared blankly at the pier.

"Boss, my brother, please go to Qingshou Building to suppress the shock! We can't afford to go to Qiufengjiang Upper Court, and we can still sit in the front hall..."

At some point, those yamen servants whose collars were tangled up by Chen Shenyi just now came over to join in the fun.

"Yes! Brother just heard that it is the property of Jade Chihu and His Highness the Crown Prince! Many officials and lords love to go there..."

Chapter 3: The peach forest will not be traced, but Xu Feidui will definitely see it

I don't know how long it took, but when Chen Shenyi finally came to his senses, the pier had already started loading and unloading other goods.

The laborers chanted "hey yo~ hey yo~" and loaded and unloaded various goods on ships through sampans.

"Food... what about the food..."

Chen Shenyi came back to his senses, staring at the whole person like a dead fish, muttering to himself in a daze.

"Master, the food has just been unloaded..."

Uncle De did not know when he stood behind Chen Shenyi, bowed his head and said softly: "It is said that it has been transported to the dock warehouse."

Chen Shenyi nodded numbly, struggling to stand up.

Seeing this, Uncle De wanted to step forward to help, but was pushed away by Chen Shenyi: "Old man... stand up!"

"Plop~!" After saying that, he sat down on the ground again dejectedly.

Uncle De silently helped him up, this time Chen Shenyi did not refuse.It's just that the eyes are full of despair.

Like a walking corpse, Chen Shenyi's eyes were dull, his body was bent, his clothes were ragged, and he limped in the city of Chaobai River Wharf Square.

Although the Confucian shirt on his body was stained with dust and splashed with water, he looked dirty.

The hair crown on his head was crooked and messy after falling several times, but he was wearing a Confucian shirt after all.

So most people still avoided him, allowing him to walk through the crowd.

Uncle De silently followed behind him without saying a word or leaving.

I don't know how long it took before Chen Shenyi realized that he had actually walked out of Fangshi.

From a distance, you can see the faint roofs, smoke and green peach trees of Zhangjiazhuangzi.

But Chen Shenyi stared blankly at the peach grove in the distance, and it took him a while before he touched his waist.

The jade pendant around his waist survived his many bumps and bumps without breaking, and even the money bag around his waist is still there.

"Uncle De...you have been with this old man for many years, so take this purse and jade pendant..."

Uncle Nade bowed back in fear, and fell to his knees with a "plop~": "Master, I don't dare!"

"Master, you must cheer up, our Chen family has experienced ups and downs in so many years..."

Hearing Uncle De's words, Chen Shenyi turned around and smiled incomparably miserable and desolate: "This time it's different..."

"If the old man dares to show up this time, I'm afraid the only way to go is to die..."

But Chen Shenyi put the purse and jade pendant on the ground with a sad smile on his face, looked at Uncle De and said softly, "Drive the carriage, too!"

"Don't go back to the capital! Remember, don't go back to the capital! Don't go back to Jiangnan either!"

But Chen Shenyi let out a deep breath, looked at Uncle De and said in a deep voice, "Northern Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, you can go together..."

"You also know a little way in the water transport old man, make a blank and leave quickly...Leave!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Shenyi no longer cared about Uncle De, but stared at the peach forest and walked.

But I saw Uncle De staring at Chen Shenyi's back in a daze, knocking his head several times with a "bang bang bang~"...

"Master~! Take care!!"

As if Chen Shenyi had never heard of it, he staggered straight towards the peach grove.

Wang Shan ran to death, but fortunately, this Taolin would not allow Chen Shenyi to run to death directly.

After only walking for about half an hour, he was already approaching Taolin.

Walk along the concrete cobblestone path in front of the peach forest for a short distance.

Before entering Taolin, he was stopped by a young man who looked like a housekeeper with a smiling face, but he saw that the young man looked at Chen Shenyi with sincerity in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, Zhou Jinshan is being polite here! Please go back, my little father-in-law doesn't see any guests."

Chen Shenyi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, his voice trembling: "Jade Chihu...knows that the old man is coming?!"

"It's not aimed at you." The housekeeper Xiao Zhou, who recently called himself Jinshan, still had that warm smile, and said softly.

"Since last night, the little father-in-law has ordered to come down and see no guests."

Housekeeper Xiao Zhou's words obviously did not satisfy Chen Shenyi, but he sneered and said, "Jade Chihu is so calculating, since he won, why didn't he dare to see the old man?!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young and young people who were sitting and laughing at the side suddenly changed.

And the bearded and leopard-eyed men who followed Xiao Zhou's butler coldly pressed their hands on the handle of the knife.

There was even an old soldier who turned around silently and went deep into the peach forest.

"No, no, no... You misunderstood, my little father-in-law didn't plot against anyone."

After all, the butler Xiao Zhou followed his little father-in-law's request and raised his calmness.

"My little father-in-law is very busy. Recently, he is casting cannons, and he has to prepare for the establishment of the Imperial Royal Military Academy and the Imperial Armament Construction Bureau..."

Looking at Chen Shenyi, Housekeeper Xiao Zhou pointed at the young people beside him seriously and said: "I still need to teach some disciples."

"It's really busy, and I haven't even had time to write the editorial of the "Imperial Times" recently."

Chen Shenyi still didn't believe it, and sneered with disdain on his face: "Dare to do it or not?! The old man has already admitted defeat, why doesn't he dare to admit it?!"

But among those young people who just stood up, a tall boy with red lips and white teeth in an embroidered robe stood up with a cold snort.

"Come on~! Don't put gold on your face, you are also worthy of Brother Hu's schemes?!"

But the young man crossed his arms and said with a sneer, "I'm not afraid to tell you, brother Hu is just using you to practice for Bengong and others."

"You really think of yourself as a character?!"

I? !Hearing the other party claiming to be so, Chen Shenyi's expression changed immediately.

The person who can use this self-proclaimed person is still a young man, and he is close to the Zhang family's son and even calls him "Brother Tiger".

Apart from the current crown prince Zhu Houzhao, can there be another one in the capital? !

"I don't know if it's the prince face to face, the old man is rude..."

Chen Shenyi let out a deep breath of foul air, but saluted the No. [-] Bear of the Ming Empire.

However, Baby Xiong obviously didn't appreciate it at all: "Okay~ okay~! I'm tired of red tape!"

"You don't have to put your affairs on Brother Hu, he basically didn't care about it."

But when Xiong Wa said this, he raised his head proudly: "All the arrangements were made by Bengong and Bohu, how about it?! Isn't it beautiful?!"

These words were very annoying, Chen Shenyi blushed suddenly and wanted to say something.But it finally turned into a sigh.
