Looking at the twists and turns in his hand, Ying Su used almost all his strength to restrain his thoughts of rushing to Funing immediately.

Funing is not far from the imperial capital. If he had abandoned the carriage and ridden a horse, he would have arrived in two days.

Once again, I looked at the day when the household department sent the excerpt and the day when the fold was paid, and Yingsu put the excerpt together and put it on the bookcase.

got up and walked to the door of the main hall, and the chamberlain standing at the door saw him go over and hurriedly bowed down and opened the palace door. Ying Su didn't go out, just stood at the door, one hand crossed to his chest and the other touched his chin, his eyes looking at the endless night sky outside the door.

"Why can't I see through you......" he muttered to himself.

From Yue Xi's avoidance of him to the present, Ying Sudu firmly believes that she will not stay away near the imperial capital.

The reason couldn't be simpler: the two children are too young, and the Taiping business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible for her to leave too far.

It is because he firmly believes in his own judgment that Ying Su has perseverance and has kung fu to churn in and out of the city, in Ying Fei's words: Their monarchs and ministers have become little thieves, and they do something that cannot be put on the table!

There was only one sentence on the recital that mentioned the peace game, but Ying Su immediately understood: It must be the lady who went to Funing! Only she would notice that there were so many that even the local people didn't have to look at Shi Ulva with their eyes.

After being with the lady for so long, it wasn't until this moment that Ying Su realized one thing: he didn't understand her!

Ying Fei once said to him more than once: "Yue Xi is different from ordinary women, she is not anything you can imagine, she is Yue Xi, Yue Xi who came out of the sun hitting the west......"

But how can the sun come out of the west?

Ying Su closed his eyes, and his heart was unusually bitter......

The Taiping Bureau purchased dried vegetables in Funing, which really helped him a lot!

The case of the Ming family almost wiped out the people of Funing, who relied on the port to eat! For a few months, the local people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but in private, those who scolded him and insulted him have quietly risen.

It's not that Ying Su doesn't want to quickly restore the port to its former appearance, so that the local people can live without worrying about food and clothing as usual.

But under the harsh situation of the Ming family being wiped out by the nine clans, those businessmen who had nothing to do with this case also deliberately avoided the way of transporting the goods to the imperial capital by water, and even abandoned the business in the north by land instead!

After thoroughly handling the case of Xiang Ming's family, Ying Su could only wait for the aftermath of the case to pass, and then issued several favorable decrees to attract businessmen from the south again.

But it will take time to implement it slowly.

The people's homes have no rice to cook, who has the patience to wait?

Fortunately, the place in Funing is not big, the local people are not much, the Taiping Bureau acquired the things that can be seen everywhere on the beach, although the price of the purchase is cheap, but the purchase of no capital still makes the locals very happy to accept, now Funing in addition to the fishermen who go out to sea to fish, stay at home of the family, whether young or old will go to the beach to play Ulva, wash the sand on it with seawater, take it home to dry vegetables, and finally sell it by catties, accumulate a lot, and finally have an income!

Walking to the row of tall and large bookshelves standing against the wall, Ying Su took a scroll of paintings, and when he turned back to see that the bookcase was already full of folds, he took his things back to the inner hall of music.

Kicking his shoes, he sat cross-legged on the carpet and spread out the scroll in his hand, which depicted a map of the Jokhang that clearly marked the cities, rivers, and valleys.

After such a long time, the lady must have left Funing a long time ago, and now the eyeliner who stayed in the shops in various shops of the Taiping Bureau and Xixiang Village has not sent back any news, so the lady has not returned to the imperial capital.

Ying Su stared at the map, first found Funing, and then looked for the area on the edge of Funing inch by inch, he clenched his fist with one hand, his delicate eyebrows frowned, and he snorted angrily, looking angry......

……

Yue Xi did not live in Funing for a long time, and arranged the purchase of dried vegetables from Shi Ulva, and she left immediately.

Funing was too close to the imperial capital, too close to him, and Yue Xi, who had a lot of things to do at this time, really didn't want to entangle with Ying Suduo.

"Master, where are we going?" The carriage stopped and went, and Jin Niang didn't look like the old road they went to Qiantang last time.

"I don't know." The windows on both sides of the car opened, and Yue Xi's eyes kept looking out of the car.

The carriage had been walking a short distance from the coastline, and she had seen many places along the way, but had not yet found a large port.

This is something ingrained in Yuexi's mind, and she has always believed that roads and transportation must be developed first for a country to thrive.

Once, she had also talked about these casually with Ying Su, but Ying Su just smiled and said to her: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, although the lady is entering the palace, she should not consider these outside, if you have a heart, you might as well think about cooking a few small dishes for your husband!" ”

Since then, Yue Xi has never mentioned a word to him about this matter.

"Why walk along the coast?" The carriage traveled on the road for a few days, and Liu Hualou gradually saw some problems, but before Yue Xi could speak, he came up with the result himself: "Isn't it that our Taiping Bureau will even have to do waterway business in the future?!" ”

This idea was a bit surprising, and Jin Niang immediately said, "How much silver do you have to put in?" I don't know how many carriages and horses a cargo ship can reach! ”

"The Taiping Bureau only does business on land." Yue Xi retracted his gaze, looked at the two people in the car and said with a smile: "Besides, we have to leave food for people, and we can't see the matter of making money, so we will insert a foot in it." ”

The latter sentence was a joke, Liu Hualou and Jin Niang were thinking about Yue Xi's next arrangements in their minds, and no one laughed.

Yue Xi had no choice but to continue: "There are more than a dozen carriage and horse shops in the imperial capital that can travel long distances, they opened earlier than the Taiping Bureau, and they all have their own good merchants, this kind of business is not impossible to do, but grabbing food from other people's bowls will hurt the harmony in the end." ”

"The Taiping Bureau is still young, and we can't make enemies everywhere, so I want to see how many cargo ships pass by at the ports along the way, and we have to open up another way, and save a few shops from pondering the business on the official road!"

"Our Taiping Bureau started with a carriage and horse, why do you keep staring at the boats on the river and the sea?" Jin Niang asked in a low voice.

"Look at ......" Yue Xi first raised his hand on Jin Niang's shoulder, pulled her upper body towards him, pointed out the car window and said: "Look at those people walking outside, they can only walk fast and steady with two legs together." ”

"I don't know how to do business, but I know that people have to walk on two legs to be safe, although the current Taiping Bureau is the first of those shops in the imperial capital, but our shops are shallow, and there are few familiar merchants, if you want to do the same as other shops, it is obviously impossible to do other people's ......"

Liu Hualou sat sideways, and saw two women hugging each other, talking with a serious expression, but one was thin and tall dressed as a worldly son, and the other was gentle and dignified, and he was a lady...... Liu Hualou looked very dazzling, he rolled his eyes quietly, and turned his head to look away.

Two years later, Yingsu deeply felt that the increase in the demand for grain could not be completed by relying only on land vehicles and horses, and made up his mind to build a water transport! The husband and wife have the same idea!

Waiting for Yingsu to promulgate the will, several rivers were dug in the territory of the Jokhang, and they were gradually penetrated until the imperial capital, and five granaries were set up near the Beijing Gate to complete the transfer of grain from the south to the north, creating a precedent for the parallel water and land transportation of the Jokhang, combining the water transportation system with the tax system, and encouraging the farmers on both sides of the canal to independently transport the grain of the year to the port designated by the government, and then offset a part of the grain tax with the transportation fee, which fully mobilized various forces, and it took less than ten years. The process of placing the transportation of grain firmly in the hands of the imperial power was completed!

"Ask me where we've gone." This time, it was Yue Xi who spoke to the guards who were driving the car.

"It's going to be Dengzhou soon." The guards accompanying him on horseback immediately said: "It's not peaceful here, and there are often Japanese robbers, and when the subordinates eat military rations, they are stationed around here." ”

The name "Dengzhou ......" Yuexi also feels familiar, and it seems that there are many places called Dengzhou in modern times.

"Don't go, find a place to stay." She commanded.

"People just said that it's not peaceful here, and there are bandits, why do you want to stay here and join in the fun?" Jin Niang asked puzzled.

"That's a wolf, it's not a thing that is more fierce than ordinary bandits!" Yue Xi said disapprerovingly: "I just think it's strange, how can you still recruit thieves when you look at the poor countryside here?" ”

"Sounds scary!" Jin Niang and Yue Xi huddled together, and looked out of the car windows on both sides carefully: "No matter what they rob, let's hide......"

"Can't trust me?" Yue Xi smiled and hugged Jin Niang, who was unconsciously leaning on him, in his arms and said: "Don't worry, if there is really danger, we have a carriage, and we will definitely run faster than the Japanese Kou!" ”

Seeing that Jin Niang didn't say anything, her eyes were still looking at her suspiciously, Yue Xi immediately put on a serious face and stretched out her hand and gestured: "Do you know why the Japanese are called Japanese Kou?" ”

Jin Niang shook her head.

Yue Xi stretched out his two legs to the root of his thighs and said: "That's because although their temperament is fierce and shameless, these people are each short, and the tallest is me, so don't be afraid if you meet them, with your size, it's like a person beating them three or four!" ”

"Really? It's that high? Jin Niang opened her mouth and felt that what Yue Xi said was very unbelievable, and imagined in her mind that a group of half-grown children were bandits with knives and guns, and she felt that it was still a little scary: "Although they are short, they have knives and guns!" ”

"Who said they use knives and guns?" Yue Xi approached Jin Niang and whispered: "Their Wa Kingdom is not very close to our Dazhao, and in the civil war for many years, even a piece of iron has to be taken over by those messy armies, so these Wa people who have become bandits have no knives and guns to use!" ”

"Huh? Don't dare to rob without knives and guns? ”

"They all carry sticks with them." Yue Xi stared at Jin Niang's eyes and said, "Because they are short, these widows are specially used to knock people's legs with sticks!" If you do meet them, don't stand still, you have to jump! Non-stop ...... jumping They can't knock you on the legs......"

"Oops! Keep jumping, ......" Jin Niang just wanted to get out of the car and jump a few times, and at a glance she saw that Liu Hualou, who was sitting sideways, had laughed so much that tears flowed out, and immediately knew that she was in charge again, she pushed Yue Xi away and scolded with a red face: "Nonsense!" You skin monkey! and coaxed me ......"

"Haha! How cute my Jinniang is, I believe everything! Yue Xi laughed and bowed to the door, and when he saw that the carriage was moving slowly, he directly lifted the curtain and jumped down: "Come down and walk, sit all the time, your ass is in half!" ”

"Whose butt isn't in half, is there a three-petaled ...... that grows like a rabbit's mouth," Jin Niang muttered to Yue Xi's back.

Eyes swept over the Liuhualou where she was sitting, Jin Niang immediately closed her mouth, straightened out her dress with a red face, and sat on the stool with her back straight.

……

Yue Xi stopped at Dengzhou.

Because this place is often infested by the Japanese invaders, there are few merchants who are willing to come here to do business, and the two remaining inns are all miserable operations, and Yuexi can only live in the inn as a foreigner.

This inn looks passable on the outside, but it's a mess on the inside!

The bed cover looks like it hasn't been washed for many days, and when you sleep at night, you can smell a disgusting smell on the quilt as long as you put the quilt on your body!

Yue Xi carefully distinguished, thinking that it was a taste that could only be formed after the smell of saliva and the smell of stinky feet mixed together after many days of divergence......

Putting these aside, Jin Niang ate her hair and nails from the buns she ordered for breakfast......

At this point, Yue Xi didn't say a word and checked out and left, and decided to find a private house to live in, and then cook by himself and be clean.

Dengju County was cobbled together by several small counties, and Yuexi's carriage traveled along the coast, and it was not long before it entered the territory of another from one county.

When I inquired, this place was called 'Changsheng County'.

"By asking the roadside fame and fortune, why do you treat seniors like this...... That's it! On the carriage, Yue Xi spoke.

Everyone immediately found an ordinary house in Changsheng County and lived in.

"We often have trouble here." The owner of the house saw that he was not young, and after receiving the silver from Liu Hualou, he hesitantly stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not leave, and squeezed out such a sentence for a long time.

Yue Xi was looking around the several large rooms in the courtyard with interest, and when she heard the old man's words, she stopped and turned around: "Troublesome? Trouble now? ”

"The guest officer is from outside, although the old man wants to earn these house money, he can't ignore his conscience......" The old man looked down at the little broken silver in his hand, and held it up to Liu Hualou: "In the past, there were times when the Japanese crossed the sea, and we could still go out to take refuge, but now the Japanese are rampant to the point that the government does not dare to be official, they often come ashore to grab things, and rob ......" The old man looked at the Jin Niang who bent down to clean in the courtyard, and did not say any more
