Chapter 1532: Dormant
Filial piety comes first in all virtues.
On the edge of the Luo River, not far from Daming Medical College, in an emerging town, a luxurious mansion that looks not much different from the neighbors, on the lobby in the middle of the altar are densely packed with spiritual signs. Amid the cigarette smoke, a slight whimpering sound comes from time to time.
There were about thirty people kneeling in the hall, all of whom were wearing mourning clothes, mourning hats, and slits on their waists. They lay on the ground with their bodies protruding.
This new city emerged because of the Ming Medical College. The first ones who came here were medicinal materials merchants from all over the country. Because the medical college needed a large number of medicinal materials, and because the research materials of various masters in the medical college required a variety of materials, many of which were very rare medicinal materials. This led to the extremely high price of these medicinal materials. Being able to obtain medicinal materials orders from the medical college can not only ensure profits, but more importantly, recognition of the abilities of drug dealers.
Therefore, qualified merchants purchased land and set up shop around the Daming Medical College. Gradually, a street of medicinal materials was formed here. There are almost everything that cannot be found in other places here, only you can't imagine, and nothing that you can't buy here.
Gradually, some businessmen and officials also started to purchase land and build houses here, for no other reason, because there are many famous doctors here. Daming Medical College is not only professors and students who study medicine, but also openly treats and asks about diseases. In other places, or you spend a lot of money to invite these people to treat the disease, but here, as long as you find the date, you can easily get these famous doctors to personally treat them. Even if you are not sick, it is very good to ask these miraculous doctors to prescribe a prescription for themselves.
This place gradually flourished. Now, it has almost become a satellite city in Yuejing.
This family is a medicinal material merchant. The head of the family was named Zhou and his name was Zhou Kai. A few years ago, he came to Yuejing City to settle down from Qi State, and now he owns a luxurious manor here.
Although his surname is Zhou, even if you find out his hometown in Qi, you will only find that this person has no connection with the Zhou family of Qi. He is just an ordinary medicinal material merchant. Even in Qi, his family was forced to escape to the Ming Dynasty because of persecution by local officials. Under the opportunity, he made a fortune in the Ming Dynasty and became a famous medicinal material merchant in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he was extremely capable and could always find some rare medicinal materials they needed most for the Ming Dynasty Medical College. Gradually, he gained the trust of many famous doctors in the medical school. If he had any needs, he would be the first to think of him.
But this person is actually a descendant of the Zhou family of the Great Qi Dynasty.
After three bows and nine kowtows, Zhou Kai stood up, walked to the front altar table, took down the spirit cards on the top of him, and threw them into the brazier on the side.
The tongue of flame suddenly increased, and the spirit cards that were thrown into it gradually eroded. Seeing the spirit cards written in blood slowly disappearing into the flames, the crying sounds in the room became louder and louder.
After burning all the spirit cards, Zhou Kai turned around and looked at everyone who was still kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said with a ferocious expression: "Everyone has remembered it. From now on, except for remembering your surname, you must forget the others, forget the glory of the past and forget the glory of the past. You are just ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. Have you remembered it?"
"Remember!" Someone couldn't help crying.
"Please remember that the family has spent countless costs to send you out, not to ask you to take revenge. There are naturally some people who will avenge the deep blood sea of revenge, and you don't need to worry about it. All you have to do is to work hard to rebuild the glory of the family. If you feel that you cannot achieve your goals, please teach your descendants and don't forget this aspiration."
"Never forget it!" Everyone growled firmly in unison.
"You are all the elites of the future that the family is optimistic about. According to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, some of you are good at studying, some are good at doing business, and some are good at craftsmanship. What you need to do is to show your abilities hard, integrate step by step into the mainstream society of the Ming Dynasty, and become the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. Among you, the longest time to the Ming Dynasty is similar to mine, and the shortest one has been more than a year. I believe you have a deep understanding of the Ming Dynasty. How to do it, I believe you all have your own plans."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Today, what I want to tell you is that when you walk out of this room, you will become strangers who don't know each other. You will be distributed to various places in the Ming Dynasty, the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the Chu State, which is about to become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is strictly forbidden to deliberately contact each other. I will become the middleman to contact you. If I die, my son will inherit this task, my son will die, and grandson."
"The Presbyterian Church will still exist, but before we restore our glory, we only have one elder, that is General Zhou. Your specific situation will appear on General Zhou's desk. General Zhou will pay attention to you in secret and silently and provide you with help from your ability. Of course, when you are worthy of the General's help, but it is strictly forbidden for you to contact or even meet the General."
"I believe everyone is very clear that the Ming Dynasty hated the clans and had strict precautions. If you are not careful, it will not only harm you yourself, but also harm General Zhou."
"Maybe we will be silent for many years, but as long as everyone works together, one day we will rise again and we will bloom in various industries. Then, it will be the time for us to reappear. Maybe some of us will not see it, but I firmly believe that our descendants will definitely see it."
Zhou Kai waved his hand, and someone walked in with a large plate in the back hall, inside which were stacks of Ming Dynasty banknotes.
"The family provides each of you with a start-up capital. From now on, it depends on your own development. If you develop well, then move forward bravely. If you develop poorly and cannot make a fortune, then try to have more children. If you give birth to more people, the greater our strength will be."
"I want to say so much. Now, please come and get your start-up capital and work hard for the family!" Zhou Kai took a step back and sat down.
The people in the hall walked up one by one, took their own portion of money from the plate on the table, then bowed deeply to Zhou Kai, turned around and left with great enthusiasm, and never looked back.
At this time, in Kunling County City, Zhou Jiyun only brought a few personal guards into the city and stopped in front of the house.
When Bai was alive, Zhou Jiyun led his troops back to Kunling County City. Except for leaving 10,000 people to defend in Xiaoshi City, he brought all the rest of the troops back.
Zhou Jiyun, dressed in neat military uniform, turned over and dismounted, and said to the guards guards in front of the door: "Please inform General Yang, and then Zhou Jiyun came to pay a visit."
When they heard Zhou Jiyun's name, the guards at the sect were all surprised. Zhou Jiyun was famous. Of course they had heard of it. More importantly, Zhou Jiyun is now the deputy commander of the six eastern counties of the Ming Dynasty, second only to Yang Zhi.
"Please wait for General Zhou, and I will report now." He quickly saluted, one of the guards turned around and ran inward, while the other guard took a step forward and took Zhou Jiyun's war horses diligently and tied them to the horse stake in front of the door.
But in a moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the door. Before the person could hear the laughter came, "General Zhou, I just came back today, and I was exhausted, why don't I have a good rest?"
While speaking, Yang Zhi was already in front of Zhou Jiyun with a spring breeze on his face. What unexpectedly happened to Zhou Jiyun was that there were two men and one woman beside Yang Zhi. Judging from their expressions, they were probably not simple.
"I have seen the general!" Zhou Jiyun gave Yang Zhi a military salute in a regular manner.
Before he bowed, he was already caught by Yang Zhi, "Stop, wait, General Zhou, we will talk about this matter later. Let me introduce it to you first. This is Huang Hao, the general of the commander of Ruijin Camp, nicknamed Monk. When you see his shiny bald head, you will probably know who he is? Hahaha, this one is the monk's wife, General Yu Xiu'e. This one is the general of the commander of Canglang Camp, and this name is very interesting. Whatever you want, it will be there immediately. This name is so auspicious."
Monk Yu Xiu'e, three of them immediately took a step forward. The three of them were all dressed in casual clothes, but they did not give military salutes. The two bowed as salutes, and one of them bowed their knees and blessed them with a blessing.
"I've seen General Zhou!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Zhou Jiyun did not dare to be negligent and dared to return the tribute. These people are all famous figures in the Ming Dynasty and the confidant generals trusted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Several great names are well-known."
"General Zhou is polite. When you led your troops to be powerful, we were still messing around! When it comes to being well-known, you are."
Yang Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, we won't praise each other here, and people will inevitably make jokes when they see it. General Zhou, please, please, today the three of them come together. I am holding a banquet to entertain them. We are all comrades-in-arms for many years and have not been together for a long time. I didn't expect General Zhou to come."
"I am too arrogant, I should inform the general first."
