Chapter 264: Escorting Grain and Grass
Early the next morning, a guest arrived.
Qin Xiang groomed unhurriedly, not feeling sluggish at all.
It wasn't until she had breakfast that she went to the flower hall.
"I've been tired of the prince and prince for a long time."
Wang Gonggong said in his heart: I have been waiting for you for half an hour, but when I looked at Qin Xiang, I still had to say, "It will not be long." β
Qin Xiang didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the prince, and still let Xiaoyu watch the tea.
"Your Majesty has thought about it?"
The prince sighed at Qin Xiang's boldness, and his tone seemed to treat His Majesty as an ordinary person. However, when Qin Xiang was able to offer the oil refining method, he opened a chicken to eat, a tea house, and Xiang. The people sent to Fucheng had already reported that Qin Xiang had opened an oil refinery in Fucheng, and there was a garment factory.
"Your Majesty promises ......"
Qin Xiang listened to the money, land and other benefits given by the emperor, and then he was satisfied.
"Did you bring everything?"
"Brought." After all, it's not really a business, and the prince won't sign an agreement with Qin Xiang. The title deeds and silver tickets have been prepared a long time ago, just to show their sincerity.
Qin Xiang examined it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, the county lord, it will never be fake."
Qin Xiang glanced at him, as if he hadn't noticed that his name had changed again.
"Please arrange the grain and grass."
Four days later, Qin Xiang looked at the long convoy behind him and let out a long breath.
At this time, it has entered the coldest month.
In the cold winter, you have to travel a long way. Not to mention the wind and snow on the road, it is simply a toss.
The person who escorted the grain and grass must not be an ordinary dart game, but a trustworthy candidate jointly selected by the prince and Qin Xiang, under the pretense of the name of Yuanwei Dart Bureau.
This time, she was going to use the caravan as cover, so in addition to the grain and grass hidden in the car, she also brought a warm sweater processed by the garment factory. In addition to these, I also brought a lot of moisturizing skin care products.
The border was bitterly cold, the soldiers lacked food and clothing, and were exposed to the cold wind all day long, with sweaters to keep warm and highly moisturizing creams, which was the only thing Qin Xiang could do for them.
She doesn't know about war, and she doesn't know how to process weapons.
What's more, even if she knew, some weapons shouldn't have appeared in this period. Although it will greatly speed up the process of ending the war, the hidden dangers will also be endless.
As a historical leaper, Qin Xiang did not dare and could not bring those products of this era over.
"Boss, it's time to go."
"Everyone listen to the order and go!"
Qin Xiang's convoy was too large, and it attracted many routes as soon as he left the city. Seeing the sign of Yang Wei Dart Bureau hanging on the car, as well as the flag of Qin Ji Commercial Bank, I couldn't help but talk about it.
"I haven't heard of this Qin Ji firm."
"That's because you are lonely and unheard, so you said that the ones who eat chicken, Yimingju, and the makeup shop are all owned by Qin Ji. By the way, what brand they call it, and I don't know what it means. In short, Qin Ji is quite powerful. β
"It turned out to be this Qin Ji! Look at this posture, are they going to travel far? β
"I just heard from the entourage that they received a big order to send the goods of several of their brands to Fuzhou."
"Fuzhou? Didn't you hear that there was a war in Fuzhou? β
"That's Hanzhou, it's still far from Fuzhou. Fuzhou is a good place, there are many rich people. β
The passers-by who were talking didn't pay attention, and while they were chatting, the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, revealing a pair of bright water pupils, which were Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang has created a brand through the time of the end, and he can take this opportunity to integrate these brands. In addition to a few shops, there is also her factory.
"In the end, I took advantage of it."
"Where does the owner take advantage of what, this time to transport the goods, the owner prefers to come by himself, how tired on the road." Xiaoyu pouted, very puzzled by Qin Xiang's choice. "Not only did you come by yourself, but I wasn't allowed to follow."
She looked at Qin Xiang suspiciously, very puzzled. always felt that the owner had any plans, but he didn't tell her.
Qin Xiang lowered the curtain and explained casually: "I don't know how hard and tiring it will be on the way, what are you doing here?" β
"With me here, the owner at least has someone to take care of." Xiaoyu said as a matter of course: "Those stinky men, what do they know? β
Qin Xiang held his forehead and sighed silently in his heart.
Xiaoyu is good at everything, but sometimes love is more sincere, and a little naΓ―ve.
The matter of escorting grain and grass was very important, so Qin Xiang did not inform Xiaoyu so as not to cause trouble. How do you know that this little girl is a backbone, she secretly packed her baggage, and was only discovered when she set off.
Qin Xiang couldn't persuade her to go back, so he decided to wait until halfway to find an excuse to leave the person behind.
However, Xiaoyu reminded her that it was indeed inconvenient to have no maid to take care of her along the way. Qin Xiang is not a person who is informal, but the ancient road is not more convenient than the modern one. Besides, there was only one woman in the whole team, which was really not very convenient, and she knew that she should have asked for two female guards with the princess.
When you get on the official road, the speed is much faster.
Qin Xiang didn't sleep last night, he was a little drowsy at this time, and he fell asleep with his head tilted.
Xiaoyu muttered quietly, but lightly picked up the thin blanket and covered it for Qin Xiang, while he waited quietly on the side.
"Rest here tonight."
In the next few days, I hurried to hurry, and there were not many opportunities to meet the inn. It is often spent overnight in the wilderness, and it is considered lucky to occasionally encounter a broken temple.
In this way, Qin Xiang has always persevered.
Although people have persevered, their spirits are not very good.
"The owner has been a lot haggard these days."
"It's inevitable that you don't sleep well at night. When you get to the place, you can rest and you'll be fine. β
Three days later, the convoy finally arrived in Fuzhou, more than a month after their departure. The streets were filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and Qin Xiang only remembered that the New Year would be celebrated in four days. They are in a hurry, and they have no time to pay attention to what time.
The group stayed in the inn, and the shopkeeper also sent some pastries. Although it is a little shoddy, it is also a piece of kindness from others.
Qin Xiang took the opportunity to eat snacks and asked the shopkeeper if there was anything unusual in the city recently.
"The customer is a businessman?"
"Yes, the goods were agreed upon."
The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, and he said after a while: "Be careful on the road, there are often mountain bandits robbing passing merchants these days, and many people have been robbed of goods." Fortunately, they only need the goods, but they don't hurt anyone, which is really a blessing in misfortune. β
Mountain bandits? Qin Xiang's expression was not nervous, they had also encountered robberies along the way. However, compared to the guards sent by the prince, it is not worth mentioning.
Now that it is only a dozen miles away from Gancheng, Qin Xiang will never dare to be sloppy. If the goods were stolen near Gancheng, wouldn't it be a failure?
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll definitely pay attention."
After the shopkeeper left, Xiaoyu said: "Look at the situation of the shopkeeper, this group of mountain bandits seems to be very powerful. I'll go to the street and ask about it later, and I'll be able to feel more at ease. β
After walking for more than a month, Xiaoyu also knew that they were not running merchants, but escorting grain and grass to Gancheng. Instead of feeling protected, she became even more angry, and even had a big fight with Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang still thinks it's a bit incredible when he recalls it. I didn't expect this little girl's voice to be so loud, she was about to be deafened.
As a result, she didn't say anything, but Xiaoyu herself began to cry.
"The owner will take me with him, even if I die, I will die together."
Qin Xiang was speechless, "Who wants to die." β
After that, he didn't mention sending Xiaoyu away. Anyway, they have already arrived in Fuzhou, and if there is any danger, they should have encountered it a long time ago.
It seems that their strategy of fooling around still worked, and they did not startle the other party to be alert. According to the prince, the previous team had an accident not long after leaving the capital.
"When you go to the street to inquire, don't expose yourself."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm shrewd."
Qin Xiang shook his head and said helplessly: "What kind of character you have, I don't know yet." He commanded him to go down and make up one day today, and then set out again tomorrow. Good wine and good food are prepared, so that people can recharge their energy, and be sure to rest well. β
Xiaoyu jumped away, and Qin Xiang climbed into bed and relaxed.
During these days, almost all of them were eating and living in the carriage, and the bones in their bodies were about to fall apart. The carriage was cramped, the planks were hard, and no matter how I slept the next day, I was in pain.
I haven't slept in a comfortable bed for so long, even if the wooden bed in the inn is ordinary to the extreme, it is not as comfortable as at home, but Qin Xiang is like coming to heaven.
But he said that Xiaoyu left the inn and went to the market, so he didn't notice that there was a thin man at the mouth of the alley who had been staring at the inn for a long time.
Wait until the person has left, and then turn away. The man walked quickly, moving freely through the intricate alleys, and was clearly familiar with the place.
He turned left and right and entered a private house, and he was heavy three times on the courtyard door, and someone inside came to open the door.
"But there's a catch?"
"Big deal. I was wandering along the road today, and before I could see a caravan at the gate of the city. That posture, that style, is extraordinary at first glance. I followed them all the way to the door of the inn and saw with my own eyes the truckloads of goods being unloaded with their goods. β
"Did you find out what it was? Don't be like last time, it's all stuff that doesn't work. β
"That can't be." The thin man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I have inquired clearly, the merchants from Xijing are all good things." What a sweater, what a grease ......"
"What's that? What do we want to do, we can't eat it. β
"Tell the boss and see if you want to rob you on the road. If nothing else, the sweater and face fat should be exchanged for some money. β
"But the boss said, you have to check whether the other party is a black-hearted businessman, if not......"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? It's been a long time since the brothers have been boiling, and they don't care if he's black-hearted or not. I'll just ask you, do you dare? β
The man groaned and slapped his face: "Okay, just do it!" β
Only then did the thin man become proud, "With these good things, I can exchange a lot of food for enough food for the brothers." thing, the rice grain has risen so much during this period of time, and you can only eat bran vegetables if you go down. β
