197【Itinerary】
"The weather is so sunny today, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere...... La-la-la! Lin Zhiqi sat in the carriage and hummed the strange tune they heard in Lychee, and was in a happy mood.
On the side of the carriage, Rong Ziqi and Rong Ziyu rode on the horses leisurely.
Lin Zhiqi pushed the window and handed the two some food, and asked, "I said, when are you two going to follow!" Don't want to play on your own? ”
After all, the convoy of the Four Seas Commercial Bank is a serious transportation of goods, and they all travel during the day and stay overnight along the way. When they were on the ship before, they could only follow the ship, but now that they are on land, the Rong brothers actually don't need to follow Shang for a long time. Touring the mountains and rivers is the right reason!
"What about Cousin Qi? Don't want to get around? Rong Ziyu asked rhetorically.
Lin Zhiqi said: "Me? I was just bored at home and walked around with the merchants, and I didn't want to go anywhere. ”
"But since you've come out, you're just walking on the official road, don't you feel bored?" Rong Ziyu continued to ask.
"I don't think so."
"That's right...... Oh, don't you really think? Rong Ziyu didn't expect Lin Zhiqi to answer so simply, and she was a little stunned.
Lin Zhiqi smiled: "Because I'm too lazy to move!" ”
"......" What is the reason for this, I didn't bother to move and ran all the way out. Rong Ziyu has always boasted that she understands women's hearts very well, but when she meets this cousin, she is always a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Rong Ziqi pulled the reins in one hand and ate silently with a snack in the other, and it was his plan to follow the team of the trading house, but. If Rong Ziyu can really say that Lin Zhiqi will leave the team temporarily, he will have no opinion.
Huo Huo hadn't caught up since he was sent to follow the mysterious middle-aged man that day. And in the observation of these days on the ship, he can basically be sure that there must be something in Lin Zhiqi's luggage that does not belong to her, which should be what Huo Huo vaguely heard, and this thing is going to be taken to Yizhou, which is likely to be related to the incident in his previous life.
"Third brother, third brother? What kind of god are you walking? Beware of falling off your horse. Rong Ziyu said.
Eiko immediately patted his chest and swore that "my horseback riding skills." Second brother, rest assured! ”
"You guy." Rong Ziyu smiled, in his eyes, this younger brother who has been smart since he was a child. Even if everyone says that he is stupid now, the so-called insufficiency for him is just that the other party has returned to the age of ignorance when he was a child. He believes that as long as enough time is given. The Rongzi period will definitely "grow up".
Rong Ziqi may also have seen this point of Rong Ziyu, so sometimes in front of this second brother, he will not completely hide what he knows.
"Is there a place you want to play?" After Rong Ziyu finished speaking, he thought for a while, "There is a Qilin Mountain in Shouzhou, I heard that the whole mountain looks like a unicorn beast, and there are huge boulders on the mountain. It's like a little unicorn. There is also Luohu, the fish of Luohu. There is also lotus root, which seems to be in the wrong season. ”
Hearing that Rong Ziyu was chattering a little as if he was reciting a geographical map, Rong Ziqi hurriedly interrupted, "Second brother, aren't we going to Yizhou?" It's not like you can play as much as you want. ”
"This ......," Rong Ziyu said after a moment of silence, "Okay." Now Shouzhou and Yuzhou are quite chaotic. ”
Lin Zhiqi leaned on the car window with one hand and watched the brothers talk, and when she heard this, "What do you say?" What are your conclusions? ”
"Let's keep going, let's go together."
"Cut." Lin Zhiqi closed the car window boredly and set up a backgammon with the maids.
On the fifth day of departure from the capital city of Shouzhou, the convoy arrived at a post station at the junction of Shouzhou and Yuzhou. Again, it was just after noon and stopped.
"From here to Yuzhou to cross a relatively long mountain road, if we go now, we will have to spend the night in the mountains at night, for the sake of safety, rest now, tomorrow before dawn, you can go out of the mountain road before dark, but, tomorrow night may have to sleep out of the night." Shopkeeper Qin explained to Lin Zhiqi the reason for staying so early, and gave an explanation of the itinerary for the next two days.
Yuzhou has been a bit of a serious disturbance in the past two years, so there are many fewer post stations available for lodging.
"However, miss, don't worry, this road is the old road we are familiar with, and safety is still guaranteed." Qin shopkeeper said.
Lin Zhiqi hurriedly said that she was not worried, "Speaking of which, is it every year that the shopkeeper of Qin goes to the south with the goods?" ”
"No, the five chief shopkeepers of Xingzhou and Jiaozhou came in turn. They all have familiar stewards with them. Moreover, there were not so many goods in previous years, and this year it was the Beiban side that fought by itself, so there were fewer merchants who went to receive the goods. ”
If there are fewer merchants, they will receive more, and moreover, a market may be formed that exceeds supply, and the commercial banks will make a lot of money again.
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Qin smiled, "Actually, in addition to our journey, there is also a way to go directly to Jingzhou, sell some of it there, purchase some other goods, and then take it to the south together." ”
"Huh? According to you, is the Yizhou area more profitable than the money in the capital? Lin Zhiqi asked.
"The capital! In fact, the demand of a place is comparable to that of the southern states, but the income is not as good as that of the south. Shopkeeper Qin said meaningfully.
Lin Zhiqi thought for a while before saying: "You mean, the capital is a relationship, and the south is profitable?" ”
Shopkeeper Qin was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that this innocent-looking second lady would understand the twists and turns in this, and then smiled: "That's pretty much it." ”
There are many powerful people in the capital, even if it is a normal transaction, without a big background, the price cannot be sold at all.
In the afternoon of the same day, the convoy made the last replenishment in Shouzhou, preparing to enter the boundary of Yuzhou the next day.
At night, Shopkeeper Qin frowned when he heard the news brought by his henchman, "Are you sure it's the group of people we saw that day?" ”
"The notices of sea fishing wanted have been posted, there is no mistake, the person in charge is the person who saw it outside Shouzhou City that day. The Shouzhou army was arresting people everywhere, looking at the direction, as if they were also coming this way. ”
"I see."
"No, it won't! Such a coincidence? Lin Zhiqi and the others were surprised when they heard the news reported by the shopkeeper Qin.
"I really didn't expect that the person who assassinated Zhizhou would live in the same post station as us in the first place." Rong Ziyu said with emotion.
Rongzi was also very surprised, the previous life Shouzhou Zhizhou was indeed assassinated, but he didn't know the time, he didn't expect it to be on the other party's birthday, he remembered that the perpetrator of the murder did flee all the way to Yuzhou, and later collected some local bandits, and occupied the mountain as the king, and then, the southern tour and his party had an accident, and the Great Jin Dynasty was in civil strife, and he didn't pay attention to these.
