Liang Mao followed Mao Jie to the shore dizzyly, and his eyes suddenly became lively, with laughter filled his ears and fragrance scented. There were people everywhere, including women with half-slanted hair and pink faces, as well as men with swords and arrogant eyes. From time to time, they pushed the load of trucks and shouted "borrowing lights" all the way. While shouting the names of shops along the street, they threw out goods one by one, but they kept stepping down. Some people in the shops they were called responded, took the goods and placed them aside.

Looking at the scene like a juggling scene, Liang Mao was stunned. Judging from the tacit cooperation of these people, this is definitely not something that can be practiced in a day or two. I believe both sides are used to it.

"Hehe, where did the barbarians come from? Walk with a longer eyes." A clear scolding broke Liang Mao. Liang Mao looked up and saw a young man staring at him with a cold eyebrows, put his hands on his hips, rolling his sleeves to his elbows, looking like he was about to fight. He had a sword strap around his waist and a long sword. The young man looked fierce, but his face was very pretty. Not only was his skin white, but his exposed arms were also as white as jade, but his hands were a little black.

"Stop messing around." A young man in the same outfit smiled and pulled the young man away. "Don't bully people, it's not easy for someone to escape from another country."

He was called a barbarian just now, and Liang Mao was already very uncomfortable. At this moment, he was treated as a refugee. Liang Mao couldn't help but raise his hand and wanted to call the two boys. Mao Jie was quick-eyed and grabbed it. "Bo Fang, don't be troublesome."

"Why did I become a barbarian? Why did I become a refugee? Am I like a refugee?" Liang Mao was a little angry, attracting the attention of many passers-by, with his eyes calm and disapproving.

"On this street, you are the most like a refugee." Mao Jie held back his laughter and pointed his hand at a young man with a cloth bag full of newspapers on his back. "Look, what he is wearing."

Liang Mao turned his head and saw that although the boy was dressed simply, he only had a white-washed single dress, with no shoes under his feet, and had bare feet, the half-old single dress was Yue cloth. Seeing Liang Mao look over, he immediately came over and showed a bright smile.

"From Yanzhou? Come and have a newspaper, rent a house, buy goods, and all kinds of news. If you are tight, you can pawn it if you want to be something..." While introducing enthusiastically, you took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag. "There are everything on this map."

Liang Mao took the newspaper blankly. Before he could come back to his senses, Mao Jie had already taken out three Wuzhu coins from his purse and handed them over. The boy took it with a smile, and delivered another newspaper. He turned around and ran to the next potential customer like a deer. In a flash, he got lost in the crowd.

"This map is easy to keep, it's useful," Mao Jie said.

Liang Mao responded, folded the map and put it in his sleeves. Although the lights were swaying and he couldn't see the contents on the map clearly, he knew that the paper used for this map was of good quality. In Yanzhou, such good paper was rare, and one piece was worth at least five cents. But in Jianye, it was only three cents to print it into a map?

Liang Mao was puzzled, but he didn't have time to ask, and followed Mao Jie forward. There were many pedestrians, and Liang Mao was hit by others from time to time, and he was tired and sweating. Fortunately, the road was not too far, not far under the Zhuque Bridge. Mao Jie turned into the alley, walked a hundred steps in, and stopped in front of a family called Huang Ji Yisi. Liang Mao looked at both ends and found that the alley was almost made of clothes, with hundreds of families.

"Is Huang Si Niang here?"

"Here?" A middle-aged woman walked out and gave a smile. "What does this guest want? Is it ready-made clothes or customization?" She glanced at Liang Mao beside Mao Jie, and smiled. "I understand. This guest is tall and has a clear bones. I am afraid that it is not easy to choose from. I can only customize it. What kind of cloth does the guest want to use, whether it brings it or which one you like, please let me know and I will ask someone to pick it up."

"Two sets of summer clothes, just use the fabrics in your store, and two sets of shoes and socks, which cost a total of thousands of dollars. Can you make it?"

"You can do it, you can do it." Huang Siniang nodded repeatedly. "The guest officer is so generous. I will definitely give you a gift. You can leave an address. Two days later, I will send a servant to send it."

"No need. Is there a house for rent nearby? My friend wants to stay here for a few days. If it is convenient, let him come and get it by himself."

"That's great." Huang Siniang stood at the door and pointed. "Walking along the alley, turning to Pishi Street, right around the corner, there is a Wangbei Building, which has food and accommodation, which is very convenient. Many guests from the north live there, and there should be room available."

Mao Jie thanked him and paid the deposit. Huang Siniang wrote a note and handed it to Liang Mao as a certificate of clothing acquisition. Mao Jie led Liang Mao forward. Liang Mao was a little surprised. He rushed to two steps and pulled Mao Jie's sleeve. "Sir, don't she need to measure the size?"

Mao Jie looked back at Liang Mao and pointed casually. "Do you know what this alley is called?"

"Wuyi Lane." Liang Mao said. When he entered the alley just now, he noticed the street sign at the entrance of the alley.

"That's right, it's called Wuyi Lane. In fact, it's original name: Zuoyi Lane. This alley is made of clothes. It gathers the best clever women in Jiangdong and even the entire Central Plains. It's not possible to gain a foothold in this alley without some ability. It's a basic ability to measure clothes with a ruler. Look carefully. How many families measure with a ruler?"

Liang Mao was shocked. He saw many people making clothes along the way, but he did not see anyone using a ruler to measure the size of the guests.

Mao Jie said as he walked: "Wuyi Lane is specialized in ready-made clothes, while Pishi Street specializes in leather goods. Nowadays, all kinds of animal skins are common, and tanning leather and leather are also a big business. This is the most lively place in Jianye. The rent is not cheap. To gain a foothold here, you must have extraordinary skills and keep customers, otherwise it will open quickly and close faster." He looked back at Liang Mao. "It is the same as being an official. If you are not familiar with your business, you will have no hope of promotion, and it is difficult to maintain your current position."

Liang Mao couldn't help but say, "Sir, in the past, was responsible for selecting officials in Yanzhou, with morality first, but now he has changed to taking ability first?"

"Can you conflict with Germany?"

"It is certainly good to have both virtue and talent, but where can there be so many people with both virtue and talent in the world?"

"Selecting officials is not a child prodigy. It is not that difficult. Without talent, you can teach a lesson, and without virtue, you can resign. Jiangdong counties have government affairs halls, which specialize in cultivating officials from various departments. They have both sacrificial wine and sacrificial skills. They can only be promoted with both moral integrity and ability. If you want to be promoted, you will have higher requirements, lack of ability and lack of morality, and it will be difficult to reach a high position. Do you know who the sacrificial wine hall in Dawu?"

"Dawu Government Affairs Hall?"

"Well, you can understand it as part of the Wu State Imperial Academy. The King of Wu intends to gather the wood and materia churches to build an Imperial Academy. He is currently choosing a location and may choose it under the Stone City."

Liang Mao caught two steps, stared at Mao Jie's face and looked again and again, confirming that Mao Jie was not joking. Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong attacked Yizhou, Zhu Huan led his troops to attack Yanzhou, and Sun Ce started a war from all sides, which was extremely costly. He actually had the intention to build the Imperial Academy?

"Guess."

"I can't guess." Liang Mao was in a complicated mood. "I guess he could offer wine to the Imperial Academy of Wu, a great scholar with both moral integrity and talent. Is there such a person in Jiangdong?"

"Therefore, the Taiwei Huang Wan and Huang Gongyan, the current official system of Wu State originated from the King of Wu and became Huang Gong."

"Huang...gong? Isn't he a prisoner?"

"I was a prisoner, but later I didn't follow the views of the King of Wu and change the course." Mao Jie suddenly laughed twice. "Speaking of this, Mr. Huang had arguing with the King of Wu for the sake of the official system. It was hard to imagine how fierce the words were. When you have the opportunity, let you look at the minutes of their argument, you will know that you don't have to worry about the anger of the King of Wu just now."

Liang Mao remained silent. Huang Wan was a famous scholar and was as high as the three dukes. His talent and ability were well known to the world. He was impressed by the views of the King of Wu. How could his own thoughts be able to reach the eyes of the King of Wu?

Mao Jie took Liang Mao to Pishi Street, and found Wangbei Tower at the corner. He set up a room for Liang Mao, and provided Liang Mao’s address in the inn. At that time, the servants would come to pick it up. After settling down, Mao Jie took Liang Mao back to Zhuque Bridge, found a Western Regions restaurant, asked for a elegant seat along the street, ordered wine and food. The bartender recorded the menu, sent a pot of tea, two plates of fruits and vegetables, and brought it to the door.

Liang Mao turned his head and looked at the brightly lit Qinhuai River, and looked at the streets where people came and went on and on both sides of the Taiwan Strait without saying a word. There was too much information along the way, which made him unable to accept it for a while. Jianye City in front of him was not like the capital of Wu Kingdom, which was besieged. This was a peaceful and prosperous era. The more Liang Mao thought about it, the more unreal he felt, and he couldn't help but say, "Sir, does this war have no impact on Wu Kingdom at all?"

"Why didn't you hear the boat girl say that the price of ice is about to rise, and it has doubled." Mao Jie said slowly, "So, in order to reduce the price of ice, the people of Jiangdong are not afraid to go to war. In their eyes, the war has never been initiated by the King of Wu. The emperor, Yuan Tan, and of course, the stubborn Yanzhou family are the culprits. Of course, they don't need to go to war in Yanzhou, and the people of Yanzhou who fled to Yuzhou will not miss this opportunity to take revenge."

Liang Mao stirred Lingling and fought a cold war. No wonder Sun Ce didn't care whether the Yanzhou family supported or not. The people of Yanzhou had been waiting to fight back.

"Bofang, you and I are old friends. Now we can meet in Jianye, which is a fate, so we won't hide it. The Yanzhou family makes mistakes again and again, and punishment is inevitable, and severe damage to the vitality is inevitable. However, Yanzhou cannot decline because of this. We need new strength and rebirth like a phoenix."

"you?"

"I, Man Boning, Gao Wenhui."

Liang Mao was shocked and lowered his voice. "Sir, this is... a clique."

Mao Jie raised a finger and shook it. "It's not about forming a clique, but about competition, fair competition. After five hundred years, saints will appear, and things in the world will change greatly. In the Qin and Han dynasties, a major change is unfolding. For thousands of achievements, the people of Yanzhou cannot be outside it." He paused and said, "This is what the King of Wu means."
