Compared to his children and grandchildren celebrating his birthday, he hoped that his children and grandchildren could determine their goals early and fight for them.
Zhou Tianbai's actions were exactly what the old man wanted.
"Alright, let's eat."”
…
The next morning, the Zhou Dynasty set off.
He told his friends at the Longchuan Gathering that he would be back anyway.
The others did not have any objections and just told the Zhou Dynasty to be careful.
That was true. Zhou Gantie was probably the only one in the world who could be so assured. It was fine for his eldest son, but he dared to let his youngest son out at such a young age.
The journey this time was really a little far.
He would first go down the mountain road and reach the town. Then, he would be able to make a choice.
By car or on foot?
Zhou Chao's speed was actually faster. After all, a normal carriage could travel at about 60 kilometers per hour. This was under the premise that the road conditions were not that bad.
However, if Zhou Chao could keep running at full speed, he could completely surpass this speed.
However, it was clear that the Zhou Dynasty would not last that long.
Anyway, the carriage didn't cost much.
After Zhou Chao got into the car, he closed his eyes and waited.
The road to the city was longer, about 300 kilometers. However, he did not calculate it accurately. He only knew that a normal carriage would have to run day and night for a day. If it was slower, it would take nearly two days.
Of course, this distance was not a straight line unless the carriage could fly.
The city they were going to was called Tongjiang City. As the name suggested, it was accompanied by a large river.
This river was called Tongjiang, a river that extended in all directions.
Tongjiang City was also the common home of the Zhou Dynasty's towns and villages, including Jiangshui Village.
The four towns and 139 villages were all under the jurisdiction of Tongjiang City.
Tongjiang City had less than 200,000 residents.
It was not a big city, but in the eyes of the villagers, it was bustling enough.
After a long journey, the Zhou Dynasty saw the city wall of Tongjiang City. The city wall was ten meters high, and the gate was guarded by eight soldiers.
Entering the city required a pass to verify their identity. Of course, they also had to pay.
The entrance fee to the city was one copper coin more expensive than the entrance fee to the town. The carriage stopped at the relay station. This kind of transportation business already had a very complete industrial chain. From top to bottom, it formed a dragon.
If the Zhou Dynasty wanted to intervene in the future, they could only start by changing the mode of transportation.
After leaving the relay station, Zhou Chao went to stay at an inn because there was still time.
After a simple disguise, Zhou Chao went to set up a stall. Just like that, business was booming. When the time came, Zhou Chao went to the dock early.
When Zhou Chao arrived at the dock, the sky was still dark.
It couldn't be helped. The reason why the dock could be lit up 24 hours a day was because the ships coming and going didn't know the time.
It didn't matter if it was for cargo or passengers.
Therefore, if he didn't want to be late, he had to come early.
However, at least they could communicate by letter, so there would still be a rough time to enter the port.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, she finally heard a sound.
That was the ship number.
It could be clearly transmitted to the port from about two kilometers away.
Zhou Chao opened his eyes. He had been meditating.
He wasn't the only one waiting. There were many others.
Some wanted to board the ship, some wanted to pick up people, and the laborers at the dock were also busy.
Soon, they saw the ship carrying hundreds of passengers.
Among the ships that ordinary people had the chance to see, it was definitely a big one.
The design of the hull was ordinary and beautiful, and the material was durable. Needless to say, the most noteworthy thing was the huge symbol.
A very symmetrical triangular pattern was pinned on a copper mountain.
Some said that it was the legendary dragon claw, some said it was a beast pattern, and some said it was a leaf.
But no matter what it was, it was a pattern that could be remembered at a glance.
This was also the symbol of the Chamber of Commerce in Lunan.
The Chamber of Commerce was synonymous with a money-making machine.
The Chamber of Commerce in Lunan was not local, but the locals knew about it. After all, it was a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Tongjiang City.
Even the money in town was guaranteed by the Chamber of Commerce in Lunan.
There were a few requirements to be a money bank. First, one had to obtain the support of the imperial court and have legal documents. Second, one had to obtain the recognition of an economic group. After all, the imperial court had given you money. What if you ran away with the money?
To put it more bluntly, this economic group was used to take the blame.
If Qian Xing did well, the imperial court would get half of the credit.
However, if they ran away with the money, it definitely had nothing to do with the imperial court. Since it had nothing to do with the imperial court, the economic group that guaranteed it would have to take the blame.
However, this pot was a pot of oil. If an ordinary person wanted to carry it, they wouldn't be able to do so.
The Zhou Dynasty was familiar with him because of Zhang He. Zhang He's father, Uncle Zhang, worked for the Chamber of Commerce in Lunan.
Although he was just a small manager.
However, with the scale of the Chamber of Commerce in Lunan, this was definitely an iron rice bowl.
The price was also being busy. In addition, whether it was Zhang Wei or Li Qin, they didn't like to trouble others, even if they were a family.
He also tried his best to report the good news and not the bad news.
That was why Uncle Zhang seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth many times.
He didn't know at all. What could he do?
As he was indulging in his wild thoughts, the boat docked.
The noise surrounded the entire port.
Zhou Chao's eyes were like an eagle's. He immediately found his uncle's family in the crowd. He quickly ran over and shouted,"Uncle, Auntie!"
Zhou Youwei, who was looking around for Zhou Tianbai, was stunned.""Hey, is that Xiao Chao's voice?”
His wife, Liu Ling, nodded.
Then, they quickly confirmed that they had not heard wrongly. It really was this child from the Zhou Dynasty!
"Uncle, Auntie!"”
"Xiao Chao, why are you alone? Where's your brother?"”
"Aiya, let's go back to the inn first."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Zhou Youwei and his wife could clearly feel the changes in the Zhou Dynasty. It was really like a child disappearing. The changes were so great that they were almost unrecognizable.
…
After a period of time.
They had already boarded the carriage for the return trip because Zhou Youwei could not wait for Zhang to see his father.
In the carriage, Zhou Youwei could not help but sigh.""I didn't expect your brother to make such a decision.”
Liu Ling smiled and said," After all, it was his father who taught him. Moreover, the child has his own goals. This is a good thing."”
Zhou Youwei: " I'm just a little regretful. You see, we rarely come back. Now, who knows when we'll be able to meet again?"”
Liu Ling: " Look at you. As long as you eat, drink, and sleep well, you have plenty of time.”
Zhou Youwei: " And that child, Xiao Chao. I didn't expect him to change so quickly. I remember that the last time we met, this child was still timid.”
Liu Ling: " Yeah, he's like a little adult now. But he's really too much. Even if the child is sensible, how old is Xiao Chao? He actually let the child run such a long distance alone."”
"He's really too much. I have to teach him a lesson." Zhou Youwei said seriously.”
Liu Ling: " Come on, you've doted on him since he was young. You say it's a lesson, but it's just a few words of scolding.”
Zhou Youwei: " No, I'm serious this time. I must curse a few more times."
These words made Liu Ling laugh.
