“？” Zicui glanced blankly at the list.

I saw that it was written: shovels, shovels, dustpans, baskets, dry food, insect repellent medicine, etc., and dozens of things were carefully counted.

Zicui was dumbfounded: "What is this?" ”

"The things that will be used in the next few days, you and the old butler will help you prepare them tonight."

“！”

Zicui never thought that such an important thing would be given by the little lady now, and the palace is not a place where you can have whatever you want.

A lot of things have to be borrowed from other people's homes......

At this moment, Zicui didn't care about participating in the mud kneading plan, so she hurriedly took the list and went to the old housekeeper.

So in this long night, the people of the palace turned their horses and all the people moved.

Those who are looking for tools in the corner, those who borrow tools from Cui Fuyin next door, and even those who use local materials to make tools at night......

In a word, two words: toss.

Of course, Li Yewu didn't sleep this night.

She closed the door and carefully dispensed with explosives.

Nitrate, wood chips, and salt are all safe things when separated, but when they are mixed together, they become powerful explosives when they are exposed to open flames.

Originally, it was a bit dangerous to prepare, not to mention the big night, Li Yewu's room only had candles, and the danger was infinitely magnified.

At this time, Li Yewu felt like she was gambling with her life, she had no protection on her body, and once it exploded, she would immediately return to the sky.

Li Yewu couldn't help but want to cry, who is she doing all this for!

Obviously, he and Xiao Jiuxi don't know each other, and they can't fight each other, so they have to give his life to pay off his debts!

"Xiao Jiuxi, Xiao Jiuxi, I really owe you. If you know how to be a man, don't be a moth, take the heir in the imperial capital and die well, don't trouble me again! ”

Li Yewu scolded and scolded while busy with the work in hand, which was miserable and funny.

……

The next day, the palace was going to form a team and set off for Cuiwei Mountain.

Speaking of the royal family's servants, there are a total of 100 people, including the guards.

However, at this time, 60 entourages went to the Taifu to work as errands because the palace could not open the pot, and subsidized the palace.

Among the remaining 40 people, 10 followed Xiao Jiuxi into Beijing, so there were still 30 people in the house.

However, in the end, it was Xiao Jiuxi's base camp, and it was not good to let it be empty, so the old housekeeper left 10 more people to watch the house.

There are only 20 people who can set off from Cuiwei Mountain, including Li Yewu, the old housekeeper, and Zicui, a total of 23 people.

Li Yewu thought it was incredible.

I only heard of the retinue who issued moon silver, and who had ever seen the entourage go to work to subsidize the palace.

How could she not meet such a beautiful worker!

In Li Yewu's envy, everyone set off.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the refugees and bandits, the 23 people in the house went out in disguise and in batches.

When Li Yewu went to the outside of the city to meet with everyone, he saw that there was also an ox cart parked here.

A large and energetic buffalo was attached to a wooden cart with a mat on it, obviously waiting for its distinguished guests to take their seats.

"Little madam, the carriage in the house has been sold, and this car is still borrowed from the Mu family, so don't dislike it."

The old butler explained with some caution.

"......" Li Yewu.

The Mu family, one of the four major families in Taiqi City, their head Li Yewu has also seen one of the uncles who sat on the floor that day to urge her to repay the money.

Li Yewu couldn't help frowning: "Will he ......?"

"Little lady, don't worry, the master is good friends with Master Mu, and he won't charge us for rent."

"......" Li Yewu was speechless, although money is very important, is it a problem of money now? What she was worried about was whether Master Mu would know their whereabouts!

"Uh, it shouldn't matter, right? The Mu family is in the cloth business, and our mountain goods have little impact, so he won't care.

And we have the money to pay him back after we sell the mountain goods, and it is too late for him to be happy. ”

Looking at the old housekeeper's big-hearted appearance, Li Yewu sighed silently.

If the old housekeeper knew that he was not going to do mountain goods but to dig for gold on this trip, I would see if he would dare to borrow a car with such fanfare.

But at this time, the ox cart was also borrowed, and she was afraid that it would be even stranger to return it, so she could only accept it.

Li Yewu asked Zicui to put the basket she was carrying on the ox cart, and she walked over with everyone.

The old housekeeper saw that this was a little cramped: "Little lady Cuiwei Mountain will take several hours to arrive, you better get in the car, don't look at its cold is actually more stable than the carriage." ”

Li Yewu glanced at the ox cart that was slower than a person and couldn't help but sigh, can such a speed be unstable?

But at this rate, she will only be able to reach Cuiwei Mountain in the year of the monkey.

"No, I'm in good health."

Li Yewu decisively refused.

The original owner went up to the mountain to pick flowers every day, and his physical fitness was really not the kind of weak willow Fufeng.

The old housekeeper glanced at Li Yewu, who had a healthy and ruddy face, and almost forgot her origin, so the old housekeeper didn't say anything more.

In this way, the group of people from the palace walked all the way to Cuiwei Mountain with long legs, and occasionally saw goats running smartly on the road.

Seeing them, Li Yewu couldn't help but want to cast a net.

Look at the cattle and sheep all over the mountains, if you develop the breeding industry here, whether you sell live, or sell hardcover meat, or even goat milk and milk, you can make a lot of money.

How did the people of Tai Qiang City manage to face a large amount of business without being moved at all?

The old housekeeper seemed to see Li Yewu's doubts, and smiled while touching his beard: "Our Taiqi City is indeed different from other places, there are not many cattle and sheep here, for example, if Jingshi wants to eat cattle and sheep, he has to be raised in captivity, so we can just go directly to the wild to catch them, and the matter of captivity is saved." ”

“？？？” Li Yewu was shocked: "Aren't you afraid of eating it all?" ”

There are so many slums in Taiqicheng, and they receive subsidies for free every day and eat cattle and sheep for free, who still wants to work? Uncle is not as happy as them, right?

However, this kind of day of eating only rice and not producing grain will be exhausted sooner or later, and what should happen then?

"The little lady misunderstood, what the old slave said was that we can catch it in the wild at any time if we want to eat, not that everyone in Taiqi City can catch it in the wild if they want to eat.

These cattle and sheep were tribute and belonged to the royal property.

The rules of Taiqi City are that only the slaughtering department can catch cattle and sheep, and the commoners who catch cattle and sheep are regarded as poaching royal property and must be imprisoned. ”

Li Yewu nodded clearly.

The county chronicles do record that the former Taihe Kingdom had to pay tribute to Dachu every year with 10,000 cattle and sheep, as well as cloth, porcelain, silver and so on.

However, that was Da Chu's request to the vassal state, and now Taihe has become his own territory, and the administrator has changed from an outsider to the most favored son, presumably the tribute has also been reduced.

It's not right, in the past, the emperor only needed 10,000 cattle and sheep, but now it's all his own.

It should be said that the tribute has been increased.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the master, and only 1,000 cattle and sheep are meant every year, so there are more and more cattle and sheep here."

"I see." Li Yewu's eyes showed interest again.
