Wei Zhen made an inspection, and after seeing that the team was back on track and there was no abnormality, he went back to his place to rest.

Miller and Li Dabai followed behind her.

"We'll leave tomorrow, and the rest will depend on Brother Dabai, I hope that the next time we come back, the Shunfeng branch station and inn have been built."

There will be no snow in winter, the ground will not freeze, and work can start at any time, of course, the ancients paid attention to the auspicious days of the zodiac, but it is completely possible to prepare other materials first.

Li Dabai also thought so, and Wei Zhen had already cleared the most powerful obstacle of Yang Jiajun, and he led the villagers to let go of their hands and do it, and the speed would definitely be faster.

"Rest assured, it will be done." This little thing is not good, what else does he have in the future.

What's more, he has been training for many years, and now it is the time to immerse himself in his career, Li Dabai is full of energy, and decided to stay up all night tonight, read Miss Mi's plan and Miss Zhen's drawings, and his own plan should be written well.

In the early morning, the sun stretched out its arms lazily and smiled at the urging of the roosters.

The golden thread warmly illuminates the earth and reflects the whole world in gold.

It was a dazzling color, and the spirit of the morning was uplifted.

The sky is bright, just like their future.

The team had breakfast, packed their bags, returned to their posts, and set off.

And five carriages full of goods were left by them in Jiuzhai Eighteen Bay.

"Brother Bai, what is this carriage and goods?" The villagers did not know the plan of Shunfeng Station, only that most of them could go to work at Shunfeng Station, but they did not know exactly where to work, what kind of work they would do, and how much they would pay.

However, they chose to believe in Li Dabai, the life-saving benefactor.

So, yesterday's wild boar was shared with the Downwind team for free, and they didn't complain.

"This is the tailwind team left by the main family to us in Jiucun, and the cold things for winter, cotton and wool.

Of course, it's not free, it's a labor bond.

The price of cotton is the cost price at the time of purchase and is not expensive, while the wage is distributed according to the station.

Come, gather people, have a meeting, and let's study the future development together.

Everyone should believe that life will get better and better. ”.

Jiuzhai Eighteen Villages is still two or three hours away from Wencheng, but if you don't enter Wencheng and go directly to the next stop, the distance will be even closer.

Jiuzhai Eighteen Bay has an official road leading directly to Yancheng, and the distance is not too far.

"The water veins of Yancheng are well developed, and there are often floods. I heard that in the second half of the year, the water conservancy has been being repaired there, and it is a big project. It was the prefect of Sichuan City who presided over the construction and a side branch of the Yang family of Hongnong.

How many people didn't expect that the Yang family could also do a job. ”

The butcher said, and sighed that the Yang family had good bamboo shoots.

"Huh! There must be a lot of business opportunities, and if I have time, I will also do a vote, for the long run, it will definitely be a good place in the future. "It's a good place, the business is developed, and the money is rolling.

"That is, Miss Mi's vision is definitely not bad, if there is any good opportunity, you must not forget my brother."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The tailwind team maintained the same formation, chatting and laughing along the way, and this time they arrived at the weir city without any difficulties.

When the sun's brilliance is wrapped in orange and no longer dazzling, the soft light pours down, gilding the stones and plants on the mountain with a layer of gold, and enveloping the mountain castle in the soft sunset.

However, the guards at the gates of the city were not very gentle, and they were almost as fierce as wolves, emitting green light.

Seeing the huge caravan entering the city, the originally listless guards immediately became energetic.

Even though this caravan looks majestic, their dart flag is unfamiliar, and it is not the flag of any family or caravan.

Therefore, the attitude of the city gate guard officer was very unkind, "Arrange well!" Get in line for me! ”

Several of the guards shouted as they put notes on their wagons, and looked at the goods with eyes that looked like silver taels, but they barely drooled on the spot.

"What are they doing here?" Miller had never seen this kind of battle, and asked suspiciously.

"Collect taxes, huh?" The Disc Butcher had never seen this formation, but he could see what it meant.

Ha! These mourners are going to slaughter them as fat sheep.

A group of guards, some of them numbered, some of them counted horses, and many more were very serious about the goods.

"Which caravan do you have?" Strangely, one of the guards was still literate, and he took a small notebook to make records.

"Downwind dart game." The disc butcher answered truthfully.

"Where did it come from? Where are you going? ”

"Come from Tibet, go to Guizhou."

"Are these goods yours?"

"Half yes, half not."

"What is this?"

"Cotton and wool." Of course, there are other things.

"What's going on with these yaks?"

"The New Year's gift I bought should be brought back to the south."

"Oh? Hehehe"

A wicked smile made people's hairs stand on end.

A few people asked a lot of questions, and then went back without saying a word, ignoring the tailwind team.

Not far from the place, in the class room at the gate of the city, looking out of the window, those people were discussing them excitedly.

"Guess how much they want to loot from us?" Miller squinted and asked nonchalantly.

She went all the way from the capital to the northwest, passing through many cities, and she had never seen Gu Zheng and his party pay a penny.

"A few thousand taels?!" Looking at the posture of those dog things, you can't bite them hard, the butcher frowned, and his eyes were cold.

"Hehe, Lao Pan, you are still too naïve and kind, you know, since ancient times, nature is evil!" Miller smiled.

Isn't it human nature that is inherently good? Bullying him for not reading, right?

"Ten thousand taels." Wei Zhen said suddenly.

Because, she heard.

And Miller, who understands lip language.

The brethren gasped and exploded in an instant.

"We traveled thousands of miles from north to south, exposed to the wind and rain, and we had to work hard when we encountered bandits, and we only earned a few thousand taels, right?" One of the brothers said indignantly.

These prices were all public, and they were all posted at the entrance of the yamen at that time, so every brother knew it clearly.

"Yes, even if we bring goods from the north to the south, how much money can we make, do we have to give them to them? So what do we eat? "They have more than 500 people in this team, don't they need to spend money?!

Don't you have to raise a family?

The girls can't make any money, what do they do to support their families?!

Therefore, the faces of the brothers who were downwind were dark one by one, and their little eyes became cold and solemn.

scared a few city gate guards who came back to deliver the official documents, these people are quite fierce, huh? But, they are official, and how many people are afraid of the rivers and lakes?!

Several people did a lot of construction in their hearts, and then they dared to swagger over.

"This is the tax of your caravan, and our lord has been merciful enough to wipe you with a fraction.

Five hundred men, five hundred horses, eighty chariots, fifty cattle and sheep, and a number of goods.

Collect 10,000 taels of commercial tax, five carts of goods, and 20 cattle and sheep. ”

The gate guard handed the list to the butcher at the head, after all, he was a man, and people naturally thought that he was the one in charge.

The butcher took a look at it and handed it to Miller.

Miller raised his eyebrows, what else is there to see, it's all fake anyway, "Is the official seal on your list?" ”
