Chapter 51: Hello! Jiangning Mansion

On a mountain trail.

A convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carts and ox carts came from far and near.

The car was loaded with game recently caught in the cottage and medicinal herbs dug up.

The game was caught alive, and was recently caught by the people in the stockade, and was tied up in a cage in a cart, ready to be shipped out and sold for food needed by everyone.

After all, there is no so-called freezing technology in this era, and things will deteriorate and stink over time.

The food produced in the village is still a bit stressful for everyone's self-sufficiency.

The destination of their trip was Jiangning Province.

This was deliberately chosen by Cao Yan for the sake of the task.

In his words,

It's a big city, things sell well, and the price is high!

The other people in the cottage also agreed.

After all, this is also a courtesy.

……

in the convoy.

Cao Yan's cheerful singing voice was heard.

The song is "Out of the Mountain" by Flower Porridge.

In the middle of the night, I never dared to look back at the overpass

During the day, there is a lot of traffic, and at this time there is Lethe River at your feet

I walked alone halfway up the mountain, and the wild dogs in the mountains kept me company

The forests are dyed, and the autumn wind blows through the ghost gate

……

……

Someone is lost

It is bitter and sweet

One moment, three years and five years

The song eventually dispersed

I have to say that Cao Yan's voice is good.

The singing is also comparable to the original song.

Let the bored crowd in the convoy listen attentively.

Including Lin Ruyi and Lin Yueru.

This time, Lin Yiru didn't come along.

After all, it's not a big deal just to buy goods.

As long as one of the two sisters comes out, not to mention that there is Cao Yan to follow, everyone can rest assured.

And Lin Yiru actually doesn't have the same ability to deal with others as Lin Yueru, thinking about how she has always been so cold and cold-faced, looking at everyone as if they owe her money, which is very unfriendly to doing business.

Recently, Lin Tiannan has also been mysterious, she doesn't know what she is planning, and she doesn't say anything when she asks him, but just lets Lin Yiru take care of the things in the village alone, and she is known for exercising her ability, which makes her even more unable to leave.

Cao Yan couldn't figure out what else could there be to take care of in such a village of five or six hundred people.

When I was in the village before, I didn't see Lin Tiannan do anything to take care of it.

Of course, his father-in-law said that, Cao Yan definitely can't dismantle the stage.

……

However, in Cao Yan's "Out of the Mountain", "Down the Mountain", "The Girl Who Fried the Mountain" and "The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes" ...... Wait a minute.

After singing it all over again.

When you feel a faint dryness in your throat.

He didn't have the freshness he had before.

Sitting in a carriage that hurt from the butt and swayed.

Cao Yan felt a little dizzy,

Sit on this bullock cart with no shock absorbers.

Walking on this bumpy one-step road is really not a good enjoyment.

And the bumps for a long time made Cao Yan feel a little like vomiting.

"How much longer?" Cao Yan held back the disgust in his heart and asked.

"Uncle, this is just the departure, and it should be there before noon tomorrow." Lin, who was in a hurry, replied honestly.

"By the way, why doesn't my uncle sing?" Someone next to him asked.

Anyway, everyone just listened to it and it sounded good.

I didn't expect my uncle to not only tell a good story,

The song is also so good.

"I kind of want to throw up!" Cao Yan said with a dark face.

"Ahh Uncle, do you need to stop and take a break? Lin Laoshi, who was driving the car, hurriedly asked when he heard Cao Yan's words.

"No, I'll just go down and take a walk," Cao Yan jumped out of the carriage after speaking.

……

The speed of the carriage was not fast.

That's about 20 miles per hour.

And this horse is not like the elephant-sized horse that Cao Yan led when they robbed that day.

Rather, it's some very ordinary horses.

The only thing is that it's a little stronger than the average horse.

Although Cao Yan was strange about this arrangement, he didn't ask his doubts.

Cao Yan walked on this dirt and stone road.

He was followed by Lin Ruyi.

She was helping Cao Yan gently hammer her back.

With a little uneasiness.

Not far away is followed by Lin Yueru.

also looked at Cao Yan a little nervously.

"Is my uncle better?" Lin Ruyi asked while patting.

"It's just motion sickness, it's normal, don't worry." Cao Yan said with a smile.

Cao Yan didn't get motion sickness before, he probably thought it should be the so-called arena, the electric fan-like way of entering the door.

His pituitary gland has lost its balance and has not recovered, after all, he has been using it every day for the past few nights, and it is normal that he has not recovered in a short time.

"Does my uncle use me to help you go?" Lin Ruyi suddenly asked.

Cao Yan looked at the passers-by coming and going on this official road, and shook his head slightly.

A man of about 1.8 meters let a girl of 1.6 meters hold him.

What strange ideas might come up with from others? I thought I had kidney deficiency and tuberculosis!

This is not what was injured in the cottage before, everyone knows the roots.

I really can't afford to lose that face.

……

Fortunately, the journey is not too long.

Just stop and go.

At ten o'clock the next morning, I arrived at Jiangning Mansion.

The convoy did not enter the city.

Settled in a remote grove some distance from the city.

Because goods entering the city need to pay taxes.

……

As soon as the vehicle was stopped, everyone got out of the car and started to get busy.

Set up a tent and go to the river to fetch water.

Take care of livestock, wild animals......

And the aunts who came with them began to light a fire and start eating.

While waiting, Lin Yueru began to arrange everyone's tasks.

Looking at her skillful appearance, Cao Yan knew that she must have done this many times.

This also made Cao Yan admire people in ancient times, who were only seventeen years old and could pick up such a heavy burden.

However, Cao Yan does not need to take care of these things, and he has no experience in this area.

……

City gates.

Cao Yan looked at the continuous city wall in front of him with a look of admiration.

It's shocking, and the reason is simple,

The wall should be about twenty meters high, at least five or six stories high.

The thickness is about ten meters.

In this ancient world where there was no construction machinery, Cao Yan was not only admired, but also admired.

And he compared some of the ancient city walls in his mind, and he also found a problem in some ancient city walls that he had seen in modern times.

He had never seen such a tall wall.

Cao Yan secretly guessed that this should be this world, and the force value was higher than the original world.

Of course, this was just his guess.

You still need to explore it slowly to know.

……

There were only a few people who were ready to enter the city this time, after all, the goods still had to be guarded.

It was these people who went to some regular customers to negotiate business with people.

Then bring someone out, and everyone will check the goods and say the price.

and they themselves will carry them into the city.

And everyone exchanged the money for what they needed, bought all of them, loaded them into the convoy, and finally transported them back to the village.

That's probably the process.

There are a lot of people coming into the city, and there is an endless stream.

There is a lot of traffic and a lot of goods.

At the gate of the city are a group of city guards, carefully checking the people and goods entering the city.

……

Thanks to Cao Yan's identity as a showman.

The guards didn't embarrass everyone, but just asked a few words, and let Cao Yan and them enter the city.

This made Cao Yan secretly proud, it seems that this world should also be very preferential to the so-called readers.

When they entered the city, they went their separate ways.

Cao Yan took Lin Ruyi and began to explore the new world.

While others are looking for regular customers to buy the mountain goods brought by everyone.

……

As in ancient times, the roads in the city were paved with bluestone slabs.

On both sides are houses made of wood or some earth and stone.

Basically, it's a one- or two-story structure.

Only a handful of storefronts have three floors, but there are very few such houses.

There are vendors on both sides of the road selling these knick-knacks or snacks.

There are not many variety.

They were all toys such as wood or mud, or small jewelry, small works of art, and snacks were some pasta or pastries, but Cao Yan didn't see ordinary candy.

I saw pedestrians in ancient costumes coming and going.

This makes Cao Yan have a sense of déjà vu when traveling in those film and television cities in China.

And while wandering around, a very strange phenomenon was discovered.

It's just that there are a lot of women in this city.

And there are even a lot of female officials.

I thought of the female guards I had seen at the city gate earlier.

This made Cao Yan have a bold guess.

Could it be that the day when advocating women, JIE release, and women can hold up half the sky has come in advance?

It seems that we must hurry up to understand this world.

With this kind of doubt.

Cao Yan felt that if she was looking for a bookstore,

Going to read the history books for a few days is an urgent matter at the moment.
