Chapter 50: Departure
The charter that the eldest prince Gu Jin wanted, Li Sangrou thought about it for a night and a half, and when she thought of baldness, she still had no clue.
In the past few years, she has always done things step by step.
She knows nothing about the past, she has limited knowledge of reality, not to mention that she has no idea of looking to the future, and even if she does, she can only see a fog when she looks at it.
In the past two or three years, she has only looked at the front of her and solved the problems in front of her one by one.
Now, she wants to be a post post, but she suddenly had this idea, it's just a whim, and it doesn't matter if she can't do it anyway.
How can there be a business that can be done, this one will not work, and then another one.
At this moment, she doesn't know anything about the post post of this empire, she also doesn't know anything about the people's livelihood and economy of this empire, and she also doesn't know anything about the people's customs, what kind of regulations can she have?
At this time, her charter has only one step: first see if the business can be done, if it can be done, what restrictions there are, what difficulties there are, and what conveniences there are, and then talk about the next step.
Li Sangrou thought of the evening, beckoned to the golden retriever, and told him to go to Mr. Wen, she had to find Mr. Wen for help.
Wen Cheng set Xiao Shengyuan outside the Donghua Gate this time, when Li Sangrou arrived, Wen Cheng had just arrived, and when he saw Li Sangrou, he smiled bitterly while arching his hand: "Miss Li hasn't found something to do yet?" ”
"I just found it, so I came to discuss it with Mr." Li Sangrou looked at the wry smile on Wen Cheng's face, and an inexplicable sourness welled up in her heart, and then she laughed again.
He's not him.
"It's me who is reckless, and I always want to discuss with my husband if there is something.
Actually, it's not a big deal, if the gentleman is busy, then I will talk to the gentleman when he is free. Li Sangrou sat down and gave up her hand to Wencheng again.
"The friend in the past, the girl is like this, do you want to find him if there is anything difficult?" Wen Cheng leaned over and motioned for Li Sangrou to sit.
"Well, if you don't look for it, he knows it and will help." Li Sangrou sat opposite Wen Cheng.
"Where is this friend now? Didn't the girl look for it? Wen Cheng poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Li Sangrou.
"Dead." Li Sangrou lowered her eyes and sipped tea.
"Is that friend of yours surnamed Ye?" After a moment of silence, Wen Cheng asked tentatively.
"Not surnamed Ye, surnamed Zhao." After a pause, Li Sangrou looked at Wen Cheng and said, "I have nothing to do with the Anji Ye family, or any other Ye family, the girl who has something to do with them is probably my sister." ”
"The prince said that the girl is from Songjiang Mansion?" Wen Cheng looked at Li Sangrou, and then asked with a smile.
"I want to do the mail business, did the prince mention it to you?" Li Sangrou didn't answer Wen Cheng's question and diverted the topic.
"I haven't heard the prince mention it yet." Wencheng is stunned, how to do the business of the post station?
"Shizi asked me to write a charter, how should I write this charter?" Li Sangrou asked bluntly.
"Huh? Oh, the girl doesn't have to worry about the format, just list what comes to mind, just list the same, the prince doesn't care about the format and writing, at least he won't care about the girl. Wen Cheng smiled.
"I know, I mean, what kind of charter should there be?" Li Sangrou looked at Wen Cheng, "Don't hide it from Mr., I want to do a post business, just because I heard Mr. Shizi and Mr. talk about the official's letter the day before yesterday, thinking that this may be a good business."
As for what to do, I haven't started to think about it yet.
At this time, I only think of the first step, that is, to see if this business can be done, before, I have always heard that the post is a military event.
If I can do it, I plan to walk along the post road for half a month and a month, and take a good look at what is going on at the post post first.
Before that......" Li Sangrou spread her hands.
Before this, she didn't know anything, so naturally she didn't have any plans.
Wen Cheng smiled, "The girl is really sincere, in this case," Wen Cheng pondered for a moment, "I'll talk to the prince first, and see what the prince means." ”
"Okay." Li Sangrou stood up and bowed his hand to Wencheng, "There is Mr. Lao Wen." ”
"You're welcome, girl." Wen Cheng followed behind Li Sangrou, hesitated all the way, took two or three steps out of the private room, and still laughed loudly: "If the girl has anything, come to the prince, or me, don't be polite." ”
Li Sangrou, who was walking in front, paused slightly, looked back at Wen Cheng, and smiled brightly, "Okay!" ”
……………………
In the Ming'an Palace.
The eldest prince Gu Jin heard Gu Xi say about Li Sangrou's charter, laughed, and waved his hand while laughing, "You tell her that as long as she thinks she can do it, then she can do it, let her go and see it first." ”
"Big brother?" Gu Xi was surprised.
"What's the matter with you?" Gu Jin couldn't say anything on his face, and the folding fan in his hand knocked on Gu Xi's shoulder, "You are usually an extremely cautious person, how can you treat this Miss Li with a completely unguarded look?"
If she can really come up with a charter, what is the post post, one, two and three clearly understand, what she plans to do in this post business, one, two and three steps are clear, if these are all based on imagination and no basis, this is not a person who can do things.
If it is clear and clear, one, two, three is practical, then her origin, behind the business she took over and sent you back, I am afraid that it will not be simple, and it is not a matter of whether you can do business or not.
Whether it's us or Nanliang, the post post is a military affair, she is a ninth-rate, how can she clearly understand? ”
"Big brother is so careful." Gu Xi was a little embarrassed.
He was really negligent, he didn't even think about it, to be exact, he didn't even think about it at all.
He's not such a careless person.
"You have always been wary and alienated from people, why are you so unguarded against this Miss Li?" Gu Jin looked Gu Xi up and down.
Gu Xi twisted her eyebrows, came out of her mind for a while, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "It's not that she is completely unguarded, I just think that she can be trusted." ”
Gu Xi glanced at Gu Jin, was silent for a moment, and then continued: "After Jiangdu City was attacked by Fan Ping'an, I thought that I had no way to live, and at that time, there was indeed no way to survive.
When Zhao Mingcai handed me over to Miss Li, he leaned into my ear and said, "Don't worry, young master, you will be safe."
I bit the tip of my tongue and didn't dare to faint, but I was not very clear, I woke up from time to time, I couldn't distinguish things, I was in a trance, and I didn't even know whether it was in the yang world or the underworld.
It didn't take long for me to hear Miss Li's voice, which was very clear and gentle, saying that she had gone out of the city, calling the name of the black horse, asking him to feed me a bowl of medicine, and asking me to endure a little, saying that she would re-clean and bandage my wounds. ”
Gu Xi's words paused, and after a while, he continued: "I can't believe it, but I saw the river from the side, reflecting the moonlight and starlight, which is very beautiful."
She cleaned my wound and applied medicine, the wound was cool and cool, not so painful, she fed me half a bowl of fish broth, the soup was hot, after drinking, the heat came from the inside out, making me feel that I had vitality, and the power of dissipation seemed to follow the bowl of fish broth, little by little.
From that moment on, I knew that I would definitely be able to return to Jianle City safely, and I would definitely see you again.
She said to me, it's okay, you can sleep well and rest. As soon as she finished speaking, I fell asleep, and I slept deeply. It's reassuring.
When I woke up, she told me that Jiangdu City was searching for the Northern Qi spy who stole the map all over the city, Zhao Mingcai died, it was Yang Xian's secret, and they are now fugitives from Jiangdu City.
The Northern Qi mission had already left Jiangdu City early in the morning and went north.
And, Jiangning City is searching for them on a large scale.
I was ......"
Gu Xi's words paused, and he looked at Gu Jin, "Can the eldest brother imagine that feeling?" It was desperate and dark, but because of her care, her words, my body came to life, I saw the outline of things, I generally knew who was going to kill me, and even knew what they were doing.
After more than a month, she said it as soon as possible, and I saw it clearly.
During the day, there is a wind with the wind, if there is no wind, use the slender man, at night if there is a wind, the boat must be sailed, if there is no wind, the pole will be rocked, and then rest in the middle of the night, only when the wind is against the wind, it is really impossible to sail, so it will rest all night.
Every time I docked, I could know where the mission was, and I could get one or two, or even a stack of newspapers and tabloids, and I never stopped along the way.
The itinerary is so tense along the way, but it seems that the biggest thing she does every day is to think about what to eat, she says three major events a day, what to eat in the morning, what to eat at noon, and what to eat for dinner.
After dinner, she sat by the window, quietly reading, after dark, she often sat in the bow of the boat, drinking tea, or drinking, I often sat with her in the bow of the boat, facing the wind, listening to the water lapping the boat.
You often say that the breeze passes through my heart, and at that moment, I felt it.
I often think of that more than a month, obviously running for my life, chasing and killing all the way, but when I think of it, it is all the breeze, flowing water, bright moon, the dark and vast banks under the moonlight, the fragrance of wine, the fragrance of tea, the sound of green onions boiling into the pot, and the strong fragrance of fish soup and broth.
I have lived until now, the hardest, darkest time, but also the most comfortable and relaxed time for me.
It was also the month when I slept soundest.
On the tip of the knife, she is at ease, and I admire her.
Does Big Brother want to meet her? ”
Gu Jin nodded, "Let's wait for her to come back from the post." ”
"If she is really optimistic and thinks she can do it, will the eldest brother really let her do it? This is a military business. Gu Xi frowned and asked.
"Hmm." Gu Jin hummed with great certainty, "The post post costs a lot of money every year, and when it is too peaceful, corruption breeds, and nearly half of the silver allocated is full of private thoughts, but the silver is less, and I am afraid that when the war starts, the mail road will collapse."
Every year, when I was calculating the money allocated to the post post, I thought about how I could make the post post have something to do during the peaceful years, and when the war started, I could immediately bear it.
Miss Li is willing to run the post station, which is excellent, let her run it, if she can really do a good job, put the civil affairs part of the post post to her, it will not hurt.
As she said, if it is really in wartime, if it is necessary, we will take it, and we will take it.
Let's let her take a look first, see what she thinks, and what kind of plans she has. Gu Jin smiled heartily.
……………………
Li Sangrou got a reply, and returned to Fried Rice Lane with the simple mountain and river map that she had asked for by the way.
After looking at the mountains and rivers for half an hour, Li Sangrou decided to go to Huainan West Road, all the way to Wuwei, from Wuwei to Yangzhou, and from Yangzhou back to Jianlecheng.
Lianghuai is the richest area in Northern Qi, the style of writing is strong, there are piles of talents, she really wants to do the post business, the first line, it must be the best to Lianghuai.
Early the next morning, Da Chang was busy packing his luggage, and the black horse and the golden retriever went out to buy a car and all kinds of things to use on the road.
Their half-used chariot couldn't go far, so they had to buy a chariot that could shelter them from the wind and rain.
Li Sangrou was sitting under the porch, thinking about who to find to open a few road guides, and whether he could cheat a few post coupons from Pan Dingbang, or a sign that could enter the post house, when Ruyi's voice sounded outside the courtyard gate.
Da Chang went out and brought Ruyi in.
As a courtesy, he took a box and handed it to Li Sangrou.
"What is it?" Li Sangrou took the box and asked casually.
"The prince didn't say anything, but only instructed the little one to hand over the box to Miss Li himself." Ruyi replied with a smile, and seeing that Li Sangrou didn't ask any more, she lowered her hand and said goodbye.
Li Sangrou opened the box and looked at the stack of four road guides in the box, as well as a brand-new silver plaque under the road guide.
The silver medal is tied with a colorful silk rope, the size of a palm, the top two phoenixes fly to each other, the two unicorns below are staring, one side of the middle is a seal body soldier word, the other side is the two words of the Lishu Privy, the side is a small but clear and very year name, it is this year.
Li Sangrou looked at the silver plaque carefully, and took out a folded letterhead from the bottom of the box.
The letter did not bear the letter, but in just a few lines, it said that the silver plate was a post card jointly issued by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and that the card could be used to enter and exit various post houses and shops, and to ask for no more than four horses with the card.
Li Sangrou handed over the silver medal and Lu Yin to Da Chang, sat back happily, and smiled with Da Chang: "When the dark horse and the golden retriever buy a car and come back, we will set off." ”
"Okay." Dachang laughs.
Their boss never pays attention to what auspicious days are not auspicious, the blind uncle said, the place where the blessed people live is the blessed land, when the auspicious people catch up, when is the auspicious time.
…………………………
At noon, Gu Xi went to Ming'an Palace to have dinner with Gu Jin, and just sat down, Ruyi trotted in to report: Miss Li took three of her subordinates to Chenzhou Gate, and it seemed that she was leaving.
Gu Xi's eyes widened, and he lit the drip in the corner of the house, "This is noon, today is an auspicious day?" ”
Gu Jin burst out laughing, and waved his hand at Ruyi while laughing, "No need to check the yellow calendar." This Miss Li is really no taboo. It's really exciting. ”
……………………
Now that he had a silver medal that could call the horses of the post house, Li Sangrou and his entourage turned to the mule and horse shop in Chenzhou Gate and bought two horses.
Out of the Chenzhou Gate, picked a fragrant and attractive rice shop, four people ate, Da Chang drove the car, Li Sangrou sat next to Da Chang, the black horse and the golden retriever were one horse per person, Da Chang threw a loud whip, and the group happily went on the road.
After a dozen miles of travel, Li Sangrou soon saw the first delivery shop.
Da Chang called out to the two mules to slow down.
"How?" Li Sangrou looked at the shop and asked.
"The rules are big and the temper is big, and it is not okay to talk about it, and it is not okay to give money." Dachang's summary is simple and straightforward.
Li Sangrou snorted, jumped out of the car, and beckoned to the golden retriever, "Let's go and have a look." ”
"Okay!" The golden retriever responded happily, jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the black horse, and jumped to keep up with Li Sangrou.
"Let's go, let's go! Stay away! ”
There were still more than a dozen steps away from the delivery shop, and at the door of the delivery shop, a middle-aged man sitting on Erlang's legs waved at the two of them.
"This big brother, we are from Jianle City......"
"I don't care where you're from! Get out! This is where you can get close? Get lost! The middle-aged man smacked hard.
"Big brother, we are here to find someone, my second uncle's third nephew, my second dog brother is here." Li Sangrou stopped, accompanied by a smile on her face, and shouted loudly.
"There are people, horses, no dogs! Get out! If you don't leave, I'll do you a snooping military business! Get lost! "The middle-aged man rolls the word, and the roaring word is round.
"Let's go." Li Sangrou turned around and left.
The golden retriever followed and spun around, "Damn! ”
A group of people crossed the first delivery shop, and when they saw the second delivery shop, Da Chang said in a sullen voice: "This family is also very fierce, I went around to the back door, met an old handyman, stuffed five big money, I said I heard that the postman makes a lot of money, want to be a postman, the handyman complained to me, let me pick up the firewood pretend, and took me in to see a round." ”
This time, Li Sangrou let the dark horse and the golden retriever go over, and they were scolded as usual.
"Well, let's go." Li Sangrou gestured.
The situation of this family has already been said by Dachang.
By the time of the third shop, it was already dark.
"This family is not allowed to enter, but the old box soldier in charge of the delivery shop has a good temper and good eyes, surnamed Hong, I heard that I want to join the army as a post man, and I talked to me for a long time.
It's a pity to say that my body is a postman, even if I am a postman, it won't be long, and I have to be picked up by the top. Da Chang introduced in a muffled voice.
"Well, let's find a house shop to rest first." Li Sangrou looked around.
It is only half a day's journey from Jianle City, and the shops are connected on both sides of the wide post road, and it is very lively.
Dark Horse and Golden Retriever picked a store with the brightest lights and asked for three upper rooms.
Eat and drink well, Dachang looked at Li Sangrou, Li Sangrou shook his head, "Don't look, it's so close to Jianle City, there's nothing to see." Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow and go. ”
Before dawn the next day, Dachang, the black horse, and the golden retriever got up to pack up the cart, mules and horses, and waited for Li Sangrou to get up, had breakfast, bought some wine, meat, and flax cakes to take with them, and came out to set off, the sun had just shown the horizon.
On this day, along the post road, a family shop went very fast, after all, not far from Jianle City, the post road is wide and smooth, and the shops are very decent.
It took three days to slow down.
Although the post road is not so wide, it is still very smooth, the trees on both sides are tall, and in the middle of spring, a piece of fresh green, very pleasant.
The shop is also neat and clean, the farther away from Jianle City, the more friendly and easy the posters, many shops have sheds outside, give one or two big money, you can sit down and rest, and there is a big bowl of hot water.
Far away from the town, almost every shop on both sides, there are more or less hawkers, with a broken basket and basket, selling tea, fruits and vegetables, or setting up a stall and a shed, that is, a simple food shop.
Next to a delivery shop, there was a small pharmacy, and there was a very dignified old doctor sitting in the pharmacy.
Li Sangrou and his entourage sometimes hurried, sometimes walked slowly, walked all the way and looked all the way, and a month later, a group of four people entered Wuwei Mansion.
According to Li Sangrou's plan, they first went to Wuwei Mansion this time, then went along the river to Yangzhou Mansion, and returned to Jianle City from Yangzhou Mansion.
She plans to choose one of the two lines from Jianle City to Wuwei Mansion and Jianle City to Yangzhou Mansion as the starting point of her express delivery career.
