Li Yan also saw Chen Youyi's eyes so firm, and knew that she was definitely going, so he didn't persuade again, and put forward his own suggestion, "I suggest that Madame bring more chili peppers over, so that it is more like a merchant ship, and bring some other things besides chili peppers, such as our peaches, with two merchant ships." ”

"One merchant ship sits people, and the other merchant ship is used to carry goods, so it looks more like a business, if you go, it is best to be with other merchant ships, so that you can also take care of each other, plus the first time Madame takes a boat to go there, and follows those merchant ships that often go, it will also save a lot of things."

When this suggestion was put forward, Chen Youyi quite agreed, and nodded, "This is a good idea, team up with other merchant ships, and if you really want to check it when the time comes, you will check it together." She raised her eyes and glanced at Li Yan, "Then do you have any other suggestions?" ”

"In addition to the army of Zhao State, Madame should be more careful, that is, some bandits along the river, these bandits often haunt and rob merchant ships, this kind of thing also happens, so when you go again, Madame had better hire a few thugs to protect the goods, we have people in Wangjiang Town who specialize in this kind of business, it is not difficult, I can help Madame hire a few people to come over."

"That's great, so it should be about the same, is there anything else to pay attention to?" Chen Youyi looked a little excited, as if she had found a way to go to Jiangnan, but it was not so dangerous.

"I've watched other merchant ships do this, I don't know the details of the content, and I don't know how those merchants deal with the people of Zhao State, silver must be indispensable in this regard, after all, it is also best to use silver when you go out, so Madame had better bring more cash, and it is better to buy some people than to hit hard."

These are all things that Chen Youyi didn't expect, she lacked experience in this area and didn't know how to do it, but fortunately she called Li Yan over to ask.

"Then do as you say, you help me hire six thugs to come over now, and then have someone help me prepare a shipload of goods, preferably more types, and take them over in another list, and the day after tomorrow we will take the ship to the south and go to Zhao to do business."

After hearing this, Li Yan took the initiative to ask, "Madam, will I accompany you over?" ”

"No need, the business here needs you, you still take care of the business of Wangjiang Tower and Wangjiang Wharf here, let Wang Da accompany me, in addition, you also inquire, which merchant ships will depart from here the day after tomorrow, help me ask, can you follow their mall."

Li Yan nodded, then turned around and left to deal with these things.

Chen Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, and she was even more relieved, after Li Yan made those suggestions, she also thought about the details in detail, maybe this time going to Jiangnan was not as dangerous as she thought.

Since there are still merchant ships trading between the two countries, if you do business on your own, there should be no difference from other merchant ships, as long as they can pass, you will definitely be able to get by.

The next day, Chen Youyi mainly instructed people to prepare goods, the ship was ready, and Li Yan also came with news that there were two merchant ships preparing to go south, one of them was the merchant ship of the fruit merchant, and the other was the merchant ship of a boss surnamed Zhao, Chen Youyi called him Boss Zhao.

"I've already said hello to Boss Zhao, and he said he doesn't mind you following them, but he also secretly reminded that if something really happens, if you can take care of each other, take care of each other, but if you can't, you can protect yourself."

Chen Youyi's heart sank slightly, that is to say, her merchant ship would definitely encounter danger over there, and this danger also existed, so she raised her vigilance again, "What did the fruit merchant say?" ”

"His rhetoric is the same as that of Boss Zhao, so when the time comes, as long as you follow them, you can do whatever they do, it's a big deal to pretend to be in league with them, something really happened to me, and Madame can only improvise."

Chen Youyi nodded, it seems that things are still not as simple as he thought, but fortunately, the fruit merchant and Boss Zhao both promised to let them follow their merchant ship, as for what will happen when the time comes, it really can only depend on their temporary reaction.

"What about the thugs?"

"I've found six thugs, all of them are strong, I know the people who do these businesses, so they help me find relatively safe people, you can rest assured, as long as you can use their place, they will definitely help you, but the main thing is to rely on yourself."

"I see." Chen Youyi took a deep breath, no matter where he spoke, danger existed after all, but as for what would happen in the future, he could only understand it after encountering it.

The merchant ships are all ready, Chen Youyi also got a little learned about the merchant ships of the fruit merchant and Boss Zhao, the merchant ships of the two of them are also two, the goods are placed on one ship, and the other ship is mainly some finance and people, and there are thugs on each merchant ship.

Overall, her two merchant ships are no different from theirs, and if they walk together, they look like a fleet, so probably there won't be too much of a problem, she suggested to herself as she left.

Chen Youyi took a few sets of close-fitting clothes, there was a set of men's clothes she always carried, hesitated when she left, and finally put it on, she didn't plan to take the maid, if she did, I'm afraid it would be more troublesome, especially women are more timid, in case she really encounters any danger, does she take care of herself or take care of the maid?

Anyway, she is not the kind of person who stretches out her hands to eat and open her mouth, and she can handle personal matters by herself.

"Madame, have you thought about it? Once on the boat, there is no way to come down. After the carriage was parked by the river, Wang Da asked while helping Chen Youyi get off the carriage.

"It's okay, it's already here, don't hesitate any longer, not to mention that it's not just our team, there are two other teams, nothing will happen to them." She had a smile on her face, she was wearing a light and simple set of clothes, Wang Da helped her with her luggage, but the luggage was not much, and she packed a lot of belongings into it for emergencies.

After that, Wang Da followed Chen Youyi on the merchant ship, Chen Youyi and the two thugs and Wang Da were in one boat, and the other four thugs were in the other boat, and these thugs often escorted these merchant ships to and fro, so they were very good at water and knew how to row, so they did not hire a boatman.
