After passing Youzhuang, Qinglianzi stopped the carriage and added two horse-drawn carriages, so that the running speed was fast and steady.

While waiting for the guards to tie their horses, he glanced back at Du Zhong.

Du Zhongce immediately stepped forward, leaned over and said, "There is someone following behind, do you want to solve it?" ”

The words were said to Qinglianzi, but the voice was through the carriage, asking the people inside.

The car door opened, Qin Qi jumped down, said to Qinglianzi to solve the problem, and walked to the field next to him.

Du Zhong was slightly stunned, jumped off the horse with a straight face, and followed Qin Qi down the field with the other two guards.

Work something out!

(Do you understand?) ）

"It's useless to solve one, look at what those people are doing? If you have the chance, you will solve it all. After watering the flowers, Qin Qi pulled his pants and said in a low voice when he turned around.

Du Zhong and one of the guards answered, turned back and got on their horses, but they went in the other direction.

The carriage started again, and with four horse-drawn carriages, it was noticeably much faster.

The man in black leaned over the big rock, glanced at the carriage, and then at the two horses that were running backwards, and after a moment of deliberation, he hid in the field and followed the carriage.

Not long after his body moved, he felt the sound of wind passing behind him, and he secretly said that it was not good, and his neck was cold.

Du Zhong wiped the short sword off him, dragged the body under the ridge, and took out a medicine bottle from his bosom.

The powder was poured up a little, and the corpse made a ziz sound.

In just half an hour, it became a puddle of gray water, and once it was covered by the soil, there was no trace of it.

Only a silver-black token remained.

Du Zhong picked up the token, wiped off the ashes on it, looked at a big shadow on it, and frowned slightly.

Stuffing the token on his waist, Du Zhong swept a distance from the field with a short body, went up to the official road, and said to the guard sitting on the horse guarding the official road: "It's the assassin of the Shadow Flower Building, let's go to the back of Zhuangzi and take a look." ”

The county seat of Huaibei is not far from Zhuangzi.

It's just over twenty miles away.

On a plain, the official road is very smooth.

The fields on both sides are verdant and green, which is refreshing to watch.

In less than an hour, the carriage entered the county seat.

The county seat is not big, but it is very delicate and beautiful, with the beauty and elegance of a small southern town.

Several streams pass through the city, in the middle is a gurgling river, most of the buildings in the city are built with water, the bluestone slab roadside, is a house with blue bricks and small tiles and heavy beams and pillars, the front is the pavement, and the back is the house.

After asking the man at the city gate, the horse team went straight to the best inn in the county, which the man said.

The inn, at the confluence of the small river and the two streams, is a three-entry courtyard with several separate courtyards at the back.

The stone road facing the river is a two-story wooden building.

There were not many people on the main street, but there were many people in the densely populated teahouses by the river.

At the tables and chairs that slipped along the river, there were a number of people who drank tea while chatting.

The scorching spring sun shone obliquely, leaking traces from under the eaves, and dancing brightly on the penny that had just dewed its buds.

The sound of small chats combined with the smooth sound of the water exudes a sense of leisure.

Gu Xinyue slept in the car and came to the spirit, got off the carriage at the inn, didn't even enter the room, pulled Qin Qi to find a table by the river and sat down, asked the store to provide food, then ordered a table of dishes, leaned on the bamboo deck chair, and let out a long, comfortable breath.

Looking at her appearance, Qin Qi couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, took the teapot sent by the store, washed the cup first, added tea, took a sip himself, waited for a while, didn't notice anything unusual, and handed the teacup to her.

Taking the teabowl and taking a sip, Gu Xinyue sat up again, picked up the lid of the teapot, and looked inside.

"What's wrong?" Qin Qi was stunned, and subconsciously looked inside.

I just drank it, it's not poisonous, and the taste is okay.

"This tea tastes good, I'll see what kind of tea it is." Gu Xinyue said casually, but her eyes kept staring at the tea leaves in the pot.

"Our tea is home-grown, although it is not as good as Longjing Biluochun, but it is not bad, and then use Huilongquan water to brew, the taste is good." The store happened to come to deliver peanuts and melon seeds, and when Gu Xinyue heard what he said, he smiled.

Gu Xinyue sighed and nodded.

Qin Qi smiled and said, "Still thinking about your tea house?" ”

Ever since this person met Miaoyun, he has never forgotten the matter of opening a tea house.

"The best thing to sell in the Western Regions and Rouran is silk and tea, and besides, when you march and fight, you carry some brick tea with you, which can also alleviate the vitamin deficiency caused by not being able to eat vegetables." Gu Xinyue pointed to the tea leaves in the teapot and said: "You see, tea can also be grown here, although the water quality is good, but this kind of tea, as long as the process of making zuò is up, it can also make good brick tea." ”

Qin Qi's heart moved, and he said, "It means that tea can also be grown in the north?" ”

"Miaoyun planted in Shangqing Mountain is good, but to make zuò into a good brick tea, tea trees must also have a certain year, just planted tea trees are not able to pick tea, I am thinking, the fragrance of this tea is strong enough, the year of the tea tree must be long enough, can it be transplanted from here." Gu Xinyue covered the teapot, poured another cup, and took a sip.

Near the capital, there are no other tea trees collected by Miaoyun.

Or if there is, it's also wild tea.

Most of the tea leaves still come from the south.

The tea merchants who went to the capital from Jiangnan were all rich.

She originally thought that she would purchase some tea mountains in Jiangnan and other places on the basis of tea introduction, so as to form the sales base of tea.

But not now.

Qin Mohan and Qin Qi are definitely going to rebel.

Even if they are strong and strong, they can't fight from the north in a day or two.

Once there is an incident, all the industries on the Jiangnan side will be cut off.

Anything else is fine, but tea, but she introduced it into the military rations to make vitamin balance, which can play a great role in long-distance attacks.

Then, it is necessary to consider transplanting the tea trees.

The Great Northern Wilderness is not good (too cold), but Ganzhou should be okay.

If there are enough old tea trees here, then you can go from this side, and you don't have to transport them all the way from Jiangnan.

Moreover, the temperature here is also closer to Ganzhou than in Jiangnan.

By the way, remember, Pengzhou Shuzhou, which is under Ganzhou, should also be a place where tea trees are abundant.

Seeing her frowning and pondering, the corners of Qin Qi's lips curled slightly, and he held her hand and said, "Don't worry, it will take a few years, take your time, or, when Dawu comes, I will ask him to bring some tea trees and go directly to Ganzhou?" ”

Gu Xinyue raised her eyebrows.

Qin Qi said with a smile: "Anyway, you have decided that the Grange here will not make major changes, as long as Old Man Lao stares at Zhuangzi and does what he did last year, by the way, what are you going to do with so many rapeseeds?" ”

The original plan was to build a few more mills here, and the oil that came out could be supplied to Xuzhou and Huai'an, which was also a way to make money.

Gu Xinyue thought for a while and said: "I still have to build an oil mill and make the scale bigger, but only rapeseed oil is produced, oh, I have to see if there is a camellia tree here, if there is, you can produce camellia oil." ”

"Do you want oil tea?" A young man who was walking by stopped and looked back and asked.
