Wei Guangde didn't know what his father and uncle said the next day, because he followed Zhang Shigui, Wu Dong and Wei Wencai to Dehua County.

It’s so easy to come to the city, how can you not take a good walk?

Dehua County is the location of Jiujiang Prefecture City, and there are magistrates and other related yamen. Naturally, the county magistrates in Dehua will have a hard time. If you want to be a parent here, you will be delusional.

However, these are too far away for Wei Guangde now.

Walking on the streets of Fucheng, people and cars are coming and going, which is very lively.

Jiujiang is also close to Pohu Lake and other places that produce food, such as Pohu Lake and Ganfu Plain, which was valued by the court at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to strengthen management, garrisons were set up in Jiujiang during the Hongwu period, and the supervision of grain was also strengthened.

Nowadays, most of the political and military forces of the Ming Empire turned to the north, and the northern thalassination gradually strengthened its dependence on food in the south.

Jiujiang is the starting point for the grain of grain entering Beijing in Huguang and Jiangxi. Every year, the grain of grain transported millions of stones of grain from here to the north, and along with the grain of Zhejiang and Nanzhili, transported northwards for supplying grain of Beijing and border troops.

As a result, Jiujiang gradually developed into an important grain market in the south, especially private grain procurement, gathering a large number of merchants from south to north to settle here, creating the prosperous Jiujiang Prefecture.

Jiujiang is advantageous to the Yangtze River, connecting to the sky in the east, Wuchang in the west, and the Poyang Lake water system connects Nanchang. It connects a huge water transportation network from water transportation, selling various industrial and commercial products from Jiangxi to various provinces, which shows the prosperity of the silver and commodities passing here every year.

Jiujiang Chaoguan also became the only tax collection port established on the Yangtze River in the Ming and Qing dynasties and has been maintained, collecting countless tax silver for the empire, which shows the degree of wealth of Jiujiang.

Although Wei Guangde came from later generations, he was still amazed at the prosperity of Jiujiang Prefecture City now.

Although those commodities that can make most people in this era have no lethality to Wei Guangde, they also have things that Wei Guangde could not see in later generations.

The rows of shops along the street made the elder brother amazed, but when he saw the complete Jiujiang Prefecture wall, the ancient and heavy feeling still made his modern soul a little dazed.

The walls of big cities left over from later generations are rare, most of which are in sections, and there is no complete wall that you see at this time, surrounding the entire huge city.

I heard from Zhang Shigui that Jiujiang started building a city more than a thousand years ago due to its geographical location. About a few hundred years ago, the earthen city wall was also changed to a brick wall, which is what he sees now.

A total of seven city gates were opened around Jiujiang Prefecture City, called Yingchun Gate and Dongzuo Gate in the east, Jingxing Gate and Xiaonan Gate in the south, West Gate, Wangjing Gate and Yueshi Gate in the north.

Some main gates also built urns. At this moment, they were walking on Wangjingmen Street. A straight road led to the entrance of the city gate along the river bank. People came and went on the main road, flowing endlessly.

After walking around the city, they walked along the main road to the outside of the city, passed through the urn and the city gate, and walked slowly along the avenue to the riverside pier.

Of course, they didn't want to board the ship and go home, but Zhang Shigui took Wei Guangde and others to see Jiujiang Chaoguan.

Until now, Wei Guangde still misses Jiujiang Chaoguan.

Wei Guangde wanted to live a good life, so he wanted to pass the exam and become an official.

But when I traveled through the ancient times hundreds of years ago, the knowledge I learned must be top in this era. Even if I was just fighting against the five scum among my peers, I was still absolutely ahead of everyone in this world.

However, if the eggs are combined, there is no use for a hair.

In this era when "everything is inferior, only reading is high", his knowledge can only be considered miscellaneous studies and is not as good as the regular one.

Although I prepared for myself that if I failed the exam, I would be a job as a retreat, those who have long been familiar with the development of history naturally hope to enter the big city to work and live instead of staying in the place of Bengshan Castle.

So Wei Guangde wanted to come to Jiujiang Chaoguan to see. Even if he couldn't get a good exam in the future, he didn't know whether he could do a job in Jiujiang Chaoguan with literacy and arithmetic, and with the help of the Zhang family, he could do something in Jiujiang Chaoguan. It seemed better than staying in a poor place in Bengshan Fort.

When I arrived at the riverside, I walked two miles west and saw a large pier. There were several large houses beside the pier. In Zhang Shigui's words, it was Jiujiang Chaoguan.

Merchant ships who come and go must dock again for inspection and tax payment and get the certificate. Even if you can escape the patrol ships of Jiujiang Chaoguan and Jiujiang Guard, you will also have the inspection of waterway inspections such as Wuchang and Yingtian. If you have evidence, you can pass. If you don’t, you will be detained and fined.

“The conditions are good.”

Wei Guangde saw that at this time, several merchant ships were docking on the dock, and there were books of money checking the cargo on the ship. However, the Lantern Festival had not passed yet, and there were merchant ships traveling across the river.

As a scholar who failed to get a fame and fortune, he waited here every day for the boat to dock, checked the merchant ship, and then collected some tips to finish his day's work. Wei Guangde felt that such a life was still alive.

"If you don't want to get a job here if you don't get a job in the future, it's not difficult."

Zhang Shigui looked at Wei Guangde and continued to whisper: "Jiujiang Prefecture has little jurisdiction over this cashier, but there is still someone to do things below, so it is really not difficult to get along with people inside, and it is really easy to find an errand. This is a very expensive relationship and it also pays attention to methods."

Wei Guangde understood that he had to give money to the money and get good money before he could do things.

"How much money does this friendship cost?"

Wei Guangde asked in a low voice.

"I don't know this, maybe it's a few hundred taels. I heard that the errands here are very rich."

Zhang Shigui said, then thought about it and whispered: "If you just want to prepare for a way out of retreat, I will ask for help you inquire.

Although the family can’t speak in the cash gate, it’s still okay to find someone to talk about the matter.

But now you are too young, so it’s better to put your mind into fame and fortune.”

It is the first month of the year, and the wind is strong on the river, so naturally a few people would not stay by the river for too long. If Wei Guangde hadn't said he wanted to see Chaoguan, a few people would not have left the city at all.

When he came in a hurry, he was free and easy when he returned to the city. Wei Guangde noticed that there was actually a majestic pavilion building standing against the river on the road.

This building covers a huge area, with three floors on the outside and four floors on the inside, nine ridges on the top, flying dragon eaves, red tiles and red railings on all sides, making it look simple and solemn.

As he got closer, Wei Guangde noticed the huge plaque hanging under the eaves of the top, the three big words "Xunyang Tower". Looking at the scene inside the gate, it was clearly a restaurant.

It was noon since we left the house in the morning, and Wei Guangde felt a little hungry.

"Brother, I'm hungry."
