Chapter 431: Return (1)
"Childe, did you really let them go like this?"
Aqing really doesn't understand his son-in-law, obviously he is reluctant, but what about Miss Chuxue, she came thousands of miles and left like this?
These two people, he can't understand them anyway.
It's over when we meet in the middle of the night?
At this time, you know that people are leaving, and you don't send them away? It's really busy, but it's still possible to take a little time.
"Aqing!" Mei Shijiu suddenly shouted solemnly.
"Huh?" Aqing was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable.
"The two love each other, not in the morning and twilight, you don't understand." Mei Shijiu smiled and comforted herself, lowered her head and continued to work.
Ah Qing's teeth suddenly sour, okay, he doesn't understand, since Gongzi said so, he won't be verbose.
At the gate of the city, Jinxiu and Tao'er still looked uneasy, and watched with a little resentment as the first snow set out on their return journey.
"Master, this... Just left? ”
Only then did the young man feel that the girl in the carriage in front of him was also peculiar and different.
came from afar, and there was no drama of reunion after a long absence.
"Let's go back too, haven't you been persuading you to go back before? Don't rush now? ”
Jin Juetian turned over and got on his horse, glanced in the direction the carriage left, and then turned his head and rode away.
Everyone in the play is so free and easy, and he, who watches the play, should be more free and easy.
Seeing this, Tuan'er and Qingsui hurriedly rode their horses to keep up, and they always felt that what the master said just now was a little temperamental? Did they mess with the master? Wake up quickly.
A rectification in the Northwest Army, the appearance of the army has changed immediately, and all the officers and soldiers know one thing, and now the Northwest Army has only one commander, everything obeys the orders of the commander, Mei Shijiu's vigorous and resolute action also makes the soldiers feel more than a season, and understands that the new commander and military division sent by the imperial court are by no means soft persimmons, but ruthless characters who are decisive in killing.
Although the news of the capital has been sent, and he knows the strangeness of Concubine Xian's death, he still doesn't dare to act rashly, and only dares to secretly burn some paper money in the dead of night to talk about the depression in his heart.
King Cheng is actually quite smart, knowing that Mei Shijiu can target Dou Bingxian and them, he will definitely not ignore him and not move him easily, first, he really did not touch the things that her mother and grandfather did, and second, he is the prince after all, he is sure that as long as he dares to act rashly now, Mei Shijiu will never take care of his identity, and will do it to him, he also saw Mei Shijiu's attitude, that is, whoever messes with the Northwest Army, he will kill whom.
Seeing this attitude in a courtier, Chengwang Feng Zixi couldn't say anything in his heart, some envied Feng Zi the more he met Mei Shijiu, he could still get his help, and some of the lively mentality, such a character, I am afraid that he will be a master in the future, how will Feng Ziyue treat him?
Cheng Wang pondered these things, Mei Shijiu didn't have time to think about it at all, because Polo had mobilized troops.
As they expected, the Polo moved troops on all fronts, and the entire northwest fell into war.
At the beginning of the snow, they turned back all the way, and they still walked step by step according to the plan on the road, and the war intensified, but it made her business a lot better, and the journey was quite smooth.
"Miss, I just got the news today, Polo has attacked Sangxu, and now the western front has basically fallen, and the distant city and Shuizhou that Prince Ying is defending are temporarily kept, but the grain and grass in the DPRK are no longer available, but the ninth prince has not only recovered the shogunate, but also defended several cities along the north that he guarded for the time being."
The news from the first snow side is quite timely, their current location is in a mountain forest in Dongzhou, it has been a month since they set off from Yuancheng, according to the current itinerary, if there is no accident, they should return to the capital in less than a month.
"Nine sons are amazing!" Tao'er didn't know where these places were exactly, and she still had a little impression of some of them passing by.
Sleeping out tonight, everyone sits around the fire, and now it is the tail of summer, and autumn is about to enter in a blink of an eye.
Chu Xue gnawed on dry food and sighed at the fire, "It would be nice if Da Yuan had a few more senior brothers, and now it is calculated, half of the territory in the northwest has fallen into the hands of Polo, less than four months after the war, the grain and grass have been tight, and the battle behind this will become more and more difficult to fight, on the other hand, Polo is an expedition, their supply will slowly lag behind, and the progress of the war will slow down." ”
Indeed, the current situation of Dayuan is not optimistic, and as a Dayuan person, everyone's heart is a little heavy.
When I arrived, there were few displaced refugees on the way, but on the way back, the situation changed completely, and I could see displaced people who had lost their relatives along the way.
】
"The owner, this way, there is only one Lu'an Mountain left, I am familiar with it, and they are also familiar with it, I will go this time, you go back early, it is about to be autumn, the wind is cool this night, Tao'er said that you can't stand the cold."
Lei Xiaocheng, who had already met with Chu Xue, had helped a lot along the way, and if it weren't for him, Chu Xue wouldn't know how to start this method.
"Peach, open the map!"
Chu Xue put down the dry food and clapped her hands, this trip to the northwest is indeed a bit hard, but the harvest is not bad, she has already sent the letter back, the shopkeeper Tong and Xiao Ye should be almost ready, access to the world, soon to open in the northwest, this way, she also stepped on all the points.
Tao'er opened the map as she said, and Chu Xue looked carefully at the firelight, and already had a blueprint in her heart.
"Chuxue, although the caravans going northwest have stopped now, and we are the only one to open the world, but in this situation, who will send things to the northwest?" There is no business after this is opened, it is easy to get through this road, and Jinxiu is a little worried about business.
"Other people's business is just incidental, and I always want to use it myself."
"For yourself?" Jinxiu doesn't understand very much, isn't it to help people pick up and drop off goods?
"Business is flexible, at this time many commercial banks have stopped trading in the northwest, involving all walks of life, the entire northwest is short of materials, poor liquidity, access to the world why can't we take advantage of this time to do these businesses? I have already written to Xiao Ye, the Chu family firm has some foundations and can save a lot of things, but it needs to be carefully pondered in some other areas, mainly the source and price. ”
At this time, the prices in the northwest have risen wildly, and most people cannot afford to consume them, and even so, many things are still in short supply.
"That's... This business is big, the owner, I am afraid that the cash in our hands is not enough, besides, this is too risky. "Those trading houses evacuated the northwest because the risk was too great, and this was all like this, although their things may be able to go through the northwest, it is difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in case they encounter the enemy, those mountain bandits are afraid and can't protect it.
Jing Si's concerns are not groundless, but the most realistic situation at present.
"If you want to do big business, you always have to take risks, business is originally the coexistence of interests and risks, how to say, if we don't do it, the northwest materials are becoming more and more scarce, and the biggest impact is the people, who are not clothed, hungry, and sick..."
In the future, if the war subsides, access to the world will be deeply rooted, and it will be much easier to do other business.
