Chapter 510 Arrived in Kaifeng!
Chapter 510 Arrived in Kaifeng!
On an official road somewhere in Henan, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly.
Zhao Dongchuan sat on the cushion, concentrating his mind and practicing the "Concentrated Mind Flying Sword Technique"...
Through constant visualization, his spirit and soul have become much more solid than before.
The Qingquan Sword also bears a trace of his mark.
As Zhao Dongchuan's mind was focused, the spring was already trembling slightly, but it would still take a lot of energy for it to fly.
"Brother-in-law...we are almost in Kaifeng..."
Ah Zi lifted the door curtain and shouted towards the carriage.
Zhao Dongchuan slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed... and a powerful pressure passed in an instant.
"it is good……"
A Zi looked at Zhao Dongchuan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"what happened?"
"Brother-in-law, where are my sister and the others? Why haven't I seen them for so long?..."
"Once you get to Kaifeng, you will see them... By the way, how are Xiaoliu and the others doing in Kaifeng now..."
Zhao Dongchuan asked.
"According to your request, I have bought a small courtyard in Kaifeng... It has been tidied up... They should be practicing martial arts now..."
"Okay... let's go, hurry into the city..."
……
A Zi and the three children were sent to Kaifeng by Zhao Dongchuan a few months ago, and asked to buy a house, learn literature and martial arts... After settling in, A Zi returned to Leigushan...
At the entrance, I met Zhao Dongchuan who was alone, and then the two of them went together to Kaifeng Prefecture...
Upon hearing this, Ah Zi had no choice but to drive the carriage towards Kaifeng Prefecture in silence.
Soon the carriage was getting closer and closer to Kaifeng, and there were more and more people on the road, with horse carriages and donkey carts everywhere...
By the time we entered the city, it was already afternoon.
A Zi drove the carriage through the city and came to the gate of a small courtyard.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Ah Zi called out softly and stopped the horse's hooves, "Brother-in-law, we're here..."
Zhao Dongchuan got off the carriage, looked at the courtyard and nodded.
The yard is quite large. Although there are no pavilions or towers, it is shaded by green trees and planted with many flowers and plants, which makes it quite quiet and peaceful.
"How much did this house cost?"
"It cost three hundred taels of silver..."
As she spoke, A Zi raised her hand and gestured towards Zhao Dongchuan.
“Give me money!!!”
Zhao Dongchuan chuckled and took out a silver note worth five hundred taels from his sleeve pocket, which should be called "Jiaozi" at this time.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you five hundred taels... The extra is my travel expenses..."
"Hehe, that's more like it..."
Ah Zi narrowed her eyes and smiled like a flower.
"Master..."
"Master..."
"..."
Hearing the noise, Xiaoliu and the other two ran out of the house, looking excited.
More than a year has passed, and the height of the three of them has grown a lot...
Zhao Dongchuan chuckled, feeling a little ashamed of being called Master.
In fact, the ones who really taught them in the past two years should be Azhu and Abi.
Even Wang Yuyan, who came later, taught them more than Zhao Dongchuan...
"How's your martial arts training going lately?"
Zhao Dongchuan asked with a smile.
The three little ones were very excited and started to show off in front of him. Even the rather dull Xiaobao seriously practiced the martial arts he knew.
“Yes, very good…”
Zhao Dongchuan nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his training was not in vain.
These three people are the arrangements he left for this world, hoping that through them he could change some historical tragedies.
Zhao Dongchuan asked A Zi to continue to practice the knowledge about the use and prevention of poisons with the three little ones, and then he went straight into the room.
As soon as he thought about it, three figures appeared silently.
It was Wang Yuyan, Azhu and Abi.
"Official..."
"Son..."
"........."
When the three came to their senses and saw Zhao Dongchuan, their eyes lit up and they showed surprised expressions. They all threw themselves into his arms like young swallows returning to their nests.
“Hahaha, thank you for your hard work!”
"Your grandpa and the others are all right?"
Zhao Dongchuan asked with a smile.
The three of them have been arranging for the settlement of Wuyazi, the Eight Friends of Hangu and others in the Chaos Realm during this time.
Fortunately, they were all masters of the time and extremely intelligent, and they soon accepted this new world.
He moved into the new home under the arrangement of Wang Yuyan and others.
Although they are all simple sheds, they are still suitable for living.
"They are doing well. They are now leading people to plan the layout of the settlement. Grandpa said that he wants to build a town that can accommodate 10,000 people..."
"He said that there will be more and more people in the future, so we need to plan ahead. He is keeping Su Xinghe and Feng Asan busy..."
Wang Yuyan paused and said, "Even if you build a house, you need a lot of materials, which are not available in these cave worlds..."
"Yes, sir, there is a lot of plaster, wood, and tools missing..."
Ah Zhu also said with a smile.
"It's okay. Now I'm in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. It's densely populated and rich in supplies. I have everything I need... Ask them to write a list for me..."
Zhao Dongchuan nodded when he heard this, spent some time with the three of them, and then led them out of the house.
At this moment, A Zi was explaining a poison to the three little ones. When she saw Zhao Dongchuan bringing A Zhu and the others out, she was a little confused. Without thinking too much, she stopped and happily came to A Zhu.
"Sister, where have you been... I missed you so much... You didn't even say hello to me..."
Ah Zi said in a somewhat coquettish tone.
Ah Zhu glanced at Zhao Dongchuan and knew that he had deliberately sent Ah Zi and the three kids away so that he could discuss important matters openly with the people from the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Haha, A-Bi, Sister Yan'er and I went out to do some work...Aren't we back now..."
"What are you doing... so mysterious, and you didn't even take me with you..."
Ah Zi glanced at Zhao Dongchuan with some jealousy, hinting at something.
Ah Zhu was not sure what her master had planned for Ah Zi, and she did not dare to say much, so she could only whisper a few words of comfort.
"Do you really want to know? You have to understand that sometimes knowing too much... often means more danger..."
A sly smile appeared on Zhao Dongchuan's lips, and he raised his eyebrows at A Zi.
Ah Zi was a little flustered when she saw Zhao Dongchuan's evil smile...but she kept a cold face, "I'm not afraid...I've seen everything..."
"Oh, but that's what you said... Don't cry and yell when the time comes... Say no..."
Zhao Dongchuan chuckled, hinting at something.
He turned to look at Ah Zhu with a questioning look in his eyes.
Ah Zhu seemed to understand what Zhao Dongchuan meant and nodded slightly.
Zhao Dongchuan looked at Wang Yuyan and A-Bi again, and seeing that they both acted as if it was a matter of course and didn't care, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
I'm afraid they have already discussed it privately...
Well, if that's the case, then I'll have a chance to communicate with Ah Zi in depth... to see what she wants...
I hope that by then Ah Zi will be the only one left in this world. That would be too cruel.
Zhao Dongchuan thought secretly.
…………
In the following days, Zhao Dongchuan was not in a hurry to leave again. Instead, he took the three little ones and frequently went in and out of the wealthy places in the capital to see the prosperity. He then took the three to the dark places in the capital to see the vicissitudes of the world.
After making this comparison, Zhao Dongchuan immediately began to explain to the three children the various shortcomings of the Song Dynasty...
The major aristocratic families controlled the government. In order to maintain the stability of power, the emperor valued civil officials over military officials and deliberately suppressed military generals.
Then, as the major family forces continued to annex land and exploit the people through robbery, the final outcome of the Song Dynasty was bound to be the outbreak of internal and external troubles, and ultimately the country's demise.
This is also the final end of all dynasties, over and over again. Over and over again!
"Master, I think that although the Song Dynasty has some shortcomings now, it is still prosperous overall..."
Xiaoyanzi looked at the busy scene outside the carriage, where people were busy and goods were abundant, and asked in confusion.
"The Song Dynasty's attitude towards merchants is relatively fair in history, and the contributions of merchants are also recognized. However, if the economy is developed but there is no matching military strength to protect it, then it will only become someone else's meal!"
Zhao Dongchuan also looked out the window with a serious expression.
"Master, since the dynasties are the same, is there any way to change this?"
Xiaoliu couldn't help but wonder in his heart and asked softly.
"Hahaha, there is a way. But it requires many people to step forward, not afraid of sacrifice, and to shed their blood to clear a way!"
Zhao Dongchuan thought of the countless martyrs who died in the revolutionary war, and of his teachers...he felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
"In a few days, after your teachers Wang and Zhu have bought all kinds of supplies, I will take you to see what it means to struggle for survival, and what it means to be bloody and cruel..."
There was a hint of coldness in Zhao Dongchuan's eyes, and he spoke in an inexplicable tone.
