Jia Huan was really surprised to hear that the other party was a soldier of Duke Rong!
After all, Duke Rong Guo died more than ten years ago. I didn’t expect to meet his former soldiers now!
But this is not surprising. After all, Duke Rong Guo was a general in the army at the time, and now many of the top military officials are subordinates of Duke Rong Guo!
It’s a pity that no one from the Jia family is in the army now, otherwise they would definitely be able to accomplish something!
However, the Jia family’s military resources were not wasted, and are now inherited by Wang Ziteng of the Wang family!
Without the support of the Jia family, Wang Ziteng would not be able to secure the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp!
Of course, it is useless to say this now. Anyway, Jia Huan does not intend to join the army, and he does not care about the forces in the Jia family army!
But now I see the soldiers of my grandfather Rong Guogong, which is a bit surprising!
So he smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that General Zhang was actually my grandfather's personal soldier!"
"This has to be said to be a wonderful thing. Fate!"
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Zhang Ying also smiled and said:
"This is indeed a wonderful fate!"
"Since the young master He is from the Jia family, so I will escort him with all my heart!"
"So Mr. Lin, there is no need to worry!"
"I will definitely take good care of the young master! ”
Lin Ruhai felt relieved after hearing Zhang Ying’s words!
He did not expect that Zhang Ying was actually a soldier of Duke Rong!
So he smiled and said:
"General Zhang will take care of that ring!"
After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Zhang Ying agreed with a smile. .
So Jia Huan said goodbye to Lin Ruhai and Xiaohuan who came to see him off, and boarded one of the high-rise ships!
This time, in addition to escorting the tax money from Yangzhou Saltworks, Zhang Ying also escorted some tributes from Yangzhou to the capital!
Escorting Jia Huan is just a matter of course!
Moreover, Zhang Ying and the others were escorting tax collectors to the capital. Even if there were some small groups of water bandits along the way, they would not dare to have any thoughts about such a ship escorted by 500 elite naval forces!
So Jia Huan doesn’t have to worry about the safety of returning to Beijing if he follows them!
Probably because Jia Huan is a descendant of Duke Rong, Zhang Ying, a personal soldier of Duke Rong, still takes good care of Jia Huan!
A small room was directly arranged for Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji, which was relatively comfortable overall!
Escorting the ship all the way along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Jia Huan had nothing to do on the ship!
I can only pass the time by reading!
Fortunately, the entire voyage only lasted a dozen days, so Jia Huan could pass the time by reading!
In this way, the voyage went very smoothly to Tai'an, Shandong.
Because today I have to rest for half a day at the port to replenish food and water!
And Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji can finally get off the boat and have a good meal!
And for Jia Huan’s safety, Zhang Ying specially called two guards to follow them when they got off the boat!
Jia Huan is naturally very grateful for Zhang Ying's thoughtfulness!
So Jia Huan and the four of them went together and entered Tai'an City!
Because Tai'an City is located in the center of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships gather here every day, so it is very prosperous. There are countless hotels and brothels in the city!
Jia Huan is naturally not very interested in the brothels in Tai'an City!
After all, he is still young, and he doesn’t want to go to such a place now!
But I am very interested in eating in restaurants in the city!
So after asking around with a few people, we came to the largest Fengle Building in the city!
Fengle Building is a three-story restaurant. It is one of the tallest buildings in the city and looks very luxurious!
Looking at the decoration outside, Jia Huan was very satisfied with the layout.
So I took the lead and walked into Fengle Tower!
As soon as a few people walked in, the waiter of the restaurant greeted them!
"Gentlemen, are you having a meal or meeting friends?"
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Do you have a reservation?"
After hearing the waiter's words, Jia Huan smiled and said:
"We are here to eat, and we don't have a reservation!"
"Can the guy find us a private room?"
Hearing that Jia Huan was here for dinner, the guy was naturally very happy!
However, when he heard that Jia Huan wanted a private room, he said with some embarrassment:
"Young Master, I'm really sorry!"
"Look It’s time to eat now!”
“The private rooms on the third floor have been reserved for a long time!”
“If you don’t mind, I’ll find one for you on the second floor. How about a good location!"
After hearing what the other party said, Jia Huan thought for a moment and said:
"Just arrange it for us, buddy!"
"As for the food, please recommend some of your store's specialties to us!"
Seeing that Jia Huan is a shopkeeper who is not short of money, he happily recommended the store's specialties. vegetable!
Next, Jia Huan was led to a window seat on the second floor by the waiter!
Jia Huan also came with him.The guard ordered a table, and he himself sat at the same table as Zhao Guoji!
It didn’t take long for the waiter in the store to deliver the dishes they ordered!
Jia Huan and Zhao Guoji felt good after tasting it, so Jia Huan ordered another food and wine and asked them to deliver it to Zhang Ying on the ship!
Zhang Ying took such good care of Jia Huan along the way, so it was nothing for Jia Huan to treat him to a meal!
Originally, Jia Huan wanted to invite Zhang Ying to have a drink and dinner at a restaurant in the city, but Zhang Ying refused because the tax money for the escort was too important and he did not dare to leave the warship, so he refused!
But if Jia Huan sends a banquet there, there won’t be any problem!
Jia Huan also asked the waiter just now that their Fengle Building has a delivery service!
It was close to noon, when diners were eating. When Jia Huan and the others first arrived, there were several empty seats on the second floor, but now there are none and it is full of people!
This shows that the business of this store is really good!
It made Jia Huan want to open a restaurant.
However, he currently does not have the talent in this field, so he will not consider it.
Because it is a city close to the Grand Canal ferry, most of the people who come here to eat are businessmen!
There are people from all over the world with all kinds of accents!
Jia Huan was also listening to their casual chat!
I heard from them that a group of water bandits appeared out of nowhere in the Grand Canal area near Shuize recently!
Many merchant ships have been robbed!
Although the government sent many people to encircle and suppress them, they all escaped!
There is no other way, the government can only offer a reward!
He said that as long as he could capture or kill the leader, Zhang Jun, nicknamed "Hunjiang Dragon", he could receive a reward of 3,000 taels from the government!
Jia Huan heard that there were water bandits in front of him. Although he felt that the world was not peaceful now, he didn't pay too much attention!
After all, he was riding a warship guarded by the imperial navy. How could ordinary water bandits dare to attack them!
So Jia Huan didn’t care about what those businessmen were talking about!
After several people had lunch, Jia Huan went back to the ship directly without wandering around Tai'an City!
When Jia Huan returned to the boat, he said hello to Zhang Ying!
Just go back to your cabin and read quietly!
The journey was uneventful, and the merchant ship continued to sail, but just that night!
Jia Huan vaguely seemed to hear someone shouting!
When Jia Huan woke up, he saw lights swaying outside the warship, and shouts of killing came from time to time!
Jia Huan thought he was dreaming at first.But I soon realized it was not good!
This is a robber!
