This time, the value of the goods is not so high, it is all miscellaneous things.

Of course, the most valuable thing is still a batch of cloth.

In theory, the journey to the North Sea is still fraught with dangers. After all, it has to pass through Mount Tai, and today's Taishan Yellow Turban Army is also huge, not much weaker than the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, which also has hundreds of thousands of troops.

Strictly speaking, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou should not be less than the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, but most of them are not under unified command, and they are subordinate to multiple leaders who occupy their own kings.

In addition, Mount Tai is not just the Yellow Turban Army, there have always been bandits and robbers in these areas, and over the years, the officials and soldiers have not been able to help the Tarzan thieves. These Tarzan thieves will also go out from time to time to rob passing pedestrians and merchants.

However, the business route formulated by Liu Xian and the people below will not directly enter Qingzhou and will not enter the boundary of Mount Tai. Instead, they will first follow the north bank of the Yellow River, and then cross the Yellow River into Qingzhou, and then go south along the coast of the Bohai Sea to reach the North Sea. Therefore, in fact, this time the merchant should be relatively safe, and under normal circumstances, it will not have any intersection with those thieves of Mount Tai or the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Liu Xian still mobilized a thousand archers, as well as another thousand sword and spearmen, three hundred cavalry, and a hundred people from the secret camp of the sin army to accompany him to protect the caravan.

The two thousand three hundred men were the caravan guards, and there were also a thousand wagons, drawn by a number of horses and mules, each of which required one or two people to guard the goods on the wagons, plus some other caravan managers.

Also, when Liu Xian settled those debts for Tian Feng in Pingxiang County, he had already promised those wealthy merchants in Pingxiang County that if they also planned to go with them to do business, the Liu Mansion caravan escort could protect them by the way.

This time, there were really two or three merchants from Pingxiang County who planned to follow Liu Xian's caravan to trade together, seeking the protection of Liu Xian's caravan guards.

One of them was a cloth merchant, he had a backlog of cloth, and he planned to sell it to Beihai, and if he sold his batch of cloth, then he could buy some local specialties from Beihai and come back, so that he could make money at both ends.

In this ancient era, the merchant was actually relatively profitable, and the key was that the road of the merchant was uneven, and if there was no certain ability to protect himself, he would often lose both people and money.

This is not only those merchants in Pingxiang County, but also the merchants in some neighboring counties have established friendly relations with Liu Xian, and when they hear where Liu Xian's caravan is going, they will also hurry to mobilize their goods and plan to follow Liu's caravan to trade together.

In this way, this time the merchants, regardless of anything else, the number of people in Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan alone reached almost 5,000. Together with the merchants of the other counties, the total number of men was almost 8,000.

A caravan of this size is already equivalent to a large army marching, and the scale is indeed relatively large.

In order to wait for the merchants from other counties to come and gather, Liu Xian waited for two or three more days before setting off.

Strictly speaking, the caravan merchant must be kept secret before preparation, especially the route of the caravan, which must not be improved and leaked, otherwise, if it is targeted by some thieves, and suddenly attacks the caravan without intention, then the loss will be great.

Therefore, this time, the merchants from other counties, although they knew when to set out and the destination they wanted to reach, they did not know which route to take.

This business route, Liu Xian has already worked out with Xu Shang.

Now Xu Shang is equivalent to the general manager of the Liu Mansion caravan, and Liu Xian only came forward to meet those merchants, and they didn't know each other, and then handed it over to Xu Shang to deal with them.

In fact, they won't have anything to do with them, the main thing is that they have to come to Liu Xian to get better protection.

On the way to the merchants, they only need to take care of their own caravans, just follow the Liu Fu caravan.

Liu Xian also had his own exclusive carriage, which was far behind the caravan's brigade. Of course, a thousand archers followed Liu Xian's carriage to escort him. As for the 300 cavalry, Huang Zhong had already led it, and the hundreds of people from the secret camp of the Sin Army had already arrived at the front to open the way for the caravan and ensure the safety of the caravan.

The 1,000 infantry will protect the caravan all the way and maintain order in the caravan.

Among the 1,000 archers, Wang Yue was mixed in and secretly guarded Liu Xian.

Because of Wang Yue's relationship, Liu Xian also plans to set up an additional secret guard, which is specially used to secretly protect himself and the people around him. If necessary, if someone needs to be assassinated, the guards can also do it.

But this is just what Liu Xian thought of in a moment's mind, and he will talk about whether he wants to form this when the time comes. There is no need to create such a force at the moment.

The carriages of this era, the wheels are all wooden, and there is no shock absorption device at all, if the road conditions are not good, then the carriage is actually a sin, and it will be shocked to the buttocks.

Generally, the carriages of wealthy families will be specially decorated with their carriages, and many soft blankets will be put on them, so that people will not be too sad when they sit in the carriage.

Also, the reason why there were official roads in this ancient era is probably for those powerful people to sit in the carriage, there are roads to reach the four directions, the official roads are generally smoother, and some official roads will be paved with bluestone and blue bricks, which are probably all so that those people can sit comfortably in the carriage when they travel to and from various places. Of course, the main reason should be that when the military horses travel around the country, they can be faster. I can also get to and from all over the world.

Liu Xian's carriage is naturally similar to that of wealthy families, but Liu Xian has installed some simple shock-absorbing devices for his carriage.

It was Liu Xian who asked the blacksmith to make some tougher iron wires, make springs by hand, and then make some simple shock absorbing devices.

However, limited to the scientific and technological level and material limitations of this era, Liu Xian's simple shock absorbing device is not durable, and it is estimated that after a long road, the shock absorbing device will lose its shock absorption effect, and it is necessary to reassemble the spring that has lost its elasticity after the shock absorbing device. Also, some wooden parts will also be damaged very quickly, and if they are damaged, they will have to be redone.

In other words, Liu Xian's carriage is not too practical, which is also Liu Xian's whim, when he asked people to build this carriage, he used his spare time to design the shock absorbing device, and then let those carpenters and blacksmiths make things together.

Of course, Liu Xian's random things opened the eyes of those carpenters and blacksmiths, and they got some inspiration from them, so that some sparks of inspiration burst out, and then they also designed some more practical things. These things are applicable in production as well as in war.

This is the applicability of springs.

Later, Liu Xian set up a science and technology research department in the college, and these unknown carpenters, blacksmiths, etc., were fortunate to join and developed many things that were ahead of the times. Of course, that's just for later.

After all, Liu Xian can be regarded as a person with status, so Zhang Ning and the others also unanimously demanded that Liu Xian's carriage must be made exquisite and luxurious, and Liu Xian's luxury should be shown.

So, from the outside, this is already very conspicuous, and carving the dragon is a must.

In the words of later generations, this is indeed Liu Xian's BMW.

If you add Cai Yan sitting in the exquisite and luxurious carriage, this is a veritable beauty of the incense car.

The caravan began to depart from Yangshi County, and Liu Xian's carriage was still transported across the river on a special large raft.

Liu Xian got into the carriage, and first smelled an orchid-like aroma, which was the woman's fragrance emitted by Cai Yan.

Liu Xian went to see Cai Yong, proposed to Cai Yong again, and asked Cai Yong to marry Cai Yan to himself.

Cai Yong is indeed very satisfied with his current life, the so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruo's father, Cai Yong can also see that his daughter also has a good impression of Liu Xian. He is also a relatively enlightened person, and after talking to Cai Yan in private, Cai Yong agreed.

After all, Liu Xian mentioned this matter to him, and now because of Liu Xian, he can settle down and live in Liulin Village with peace of mind. Therefore, he felt that there was no reason to refuse Liu Xian's proposal, not to mention, he had always thought about marrying a daughter, and his daughter marrying Liu Xian should not be bad.

Cai Yong has only one request, let Liu Xian not let down his daughter, and hope that Liu Xian will not snub Cai Yan because there are too many women around him.

Liu Xian agreed with his mouth. A beauty like Cai Yan, how could Liu Xian snub her?

In this way, the relationship between Liu Xian and Cai Yan can be regarded as formalized.

Cai Yan is indeed different from ordinary women, after formally establishing a relationship with Liu Xian, she will not be as shy and shy as ordinary girls, and dare not meet people. On the contrary, she was even more down-to-earth and generous, and soon entered the role, and she already completely regarded Liu Xian as her other half, like her husband.

No, Liu Xian got into the carriage, and Cai Yan said to Liu Xian with a tender face: "Here?" You're ready to go, right? Don't move, just sit here. ”

"Well, the caravan has departed, and we're last. Along the way, we can look at the scenery everywhere, and if there is something interesting, we can stop and have fun without having to follow the caravan. Liu Xian saw Cai Yan bring a small brocade pier and let him sit down, and sat down while talking, saying, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong? You've just come up from outside, and the soles of your shoes are covered in mud. Cai Yan said, naturally knelt beside Liu Xian, held Liu Xian's feet with both hands, and took off his shoes for Liu Xian.

After finishing, he took off his robe for Liu Xian, and said generally: "Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you can sweat hot in the carriage for a while." ”

"Zhang Ning and the others also prepared a lot of food for us, as well as pressed juice, let's have a drink first."

Cai Yan is now like a little lady, serving her husband.

There was everything in the carriage, and even behind the carriage there was a bucket strapped to the back of the carriage with a spare tire.

Well, these are actually not Liu Xian's opinions, but Zhang Ning and the other women have already prepared some things to go out of the house, and they have prepared everything that will make Liu Xian feel as convenient and comfortable as possible.

It can be said that Liu Xian can take a long-distance carriage trip with this carriage with everything.

Liu Xian has always served women in the postmodern era, and the women of later generations are really ten fingers that do not touch the spring water, and they are all very noble. There are few women who can treat their men with sincerity. At least Liu Xian really hasn't encountered it.

In later generations, Liu Xian also had a lot of women, but no matter which one they were, Liu Xian needed to coax them as ancestors. Usually, Liu Xian shushes them and cares about everything. But who would know how to care if Liu Xian was hungry? Is it cold? Which one would take the initiative to change Liu Xian's slippers once? Who would see that a button fell off one of Liu Xian's clothes and took the initiative to sew it for Liu Xian?

Who will wipe the dust off Liu Xian's body? Who wiped the dust once for Liu Xian's notebook?

No, not really.

It's still good in this ancient era!

Xiaojing at home has always served Liu Xian personally even when he washes up.

Later, as long as they were together, Zhang Ning would pay attention to everything about Liu Xian.

Huang Wudie may not be so careful, but everything will be based on Liu Xian and Liu Xian.

Even Yi Ji will always pay attention to everything about Liu Xian, and will make Liu Xian feel happy as much as possible. Even if you play petty with Liu Xian and make jokes, you will pay attention to whether Liu Xian likes it or not.

Now Cai Yan, she has really entered the role of Liu Xian's woman, just like treating Liu Xian as a treasure, and she can't make Liu Xian feel comfortable all the time.

I have to say that Liu Xian was really moved by the women of this era.

Well, Liu Xian really feels very happy, and with these women around him, Liu Xian is indeed very satisfied.

At this time, Cai Yan's gentle demeanor towards herself made Liu Xian unnaturally compare with those women in his later life.

This is really a comparison of everything, and Liu Xian felt that he wanted to cry in this comparison.

In the future, I will be a licking dog, and now I will be an uncle.

Liu Xian was excited, hugged Cai Yan into his arms, and kissed her without saying anything.
