Chapter 1: Rushing to Tieling
"So be it."
Zhou Li put down the brush and said: "I looked at the route, if you take the official road, it will take more than 20 days a month at the earliest, and it will take more than two months if you delay a little." But with some side roads and trails, it should be about the same in a month. ”
"And where are we going first?"
Tang Guan asked.
"The first stop is only here."
Zhou Li's finger fell on the map, he looked at the name of the city, and said slowly:
"Tieling."
Tieling, a magical city, is also a noisy city. The reason why he is magical is because this is the most unique city in the entire Ming Dynasty, a city built on a huge siderite.
But he is said to be noisy because the city is always noisy. He is like a huge melting pot, constantly forging all kinds of spiritual weapons and forging different people.
For example...
"Then I really want to meet the No. 1 storyteller in Tieling."
Tang Wan touched his chin and said excitedly: "I heard that this Zhao Wenshan is the best storyteller in the world, and millions of people in Tieling have heard him tell the story, so it's just right, we can still have an ear." ”
"That's going to work."
Zhou Li nodded, as a pure northerner, Zhao Wenshan's name can be described as famous, and many people praise the sentence "If you enter Shanhaiguan, you will listen to Zhao Wenshan".
Zhuge Qing, a southerner, didn't say anything about this, anyway, she followed Zhou Li and the others back to Longhu Mountain this time, and it didn't matter how they arranged themselves.
And Xu Xuan...
Glancing at Xu Xuan, who was held in Taoyao's arms, motionless as if he was dead, Zhou Li sighed.
If you can't stand it, don't bear it.
Although I don't know why Tao Yao, who is widely loved by everyone, is as terrifying as a demon here in Xu Xuan, Zhou Li doesn't bother to care about these things. After all, in a few hours, they would take a tall carriage to Tieling.
From Beiliang to Tieling, it is about 670 kilometers if you take the official road.
The transportation industry of Daming in this world is actually relatively developed, whether it is a private post station of profit-making nature, or the [Gaoma Station] in which the imperial court participates, it can be seen everywhere on Daming Road.
Among them, private post stations belong to the for-profit industry founded by major chambers of commerce, this kind of private post stations are often one-to-one service, the more money you spend, the more services the post station will give you. For example, the leading "Baobi Station" of Daming's private post station can provide high-level escort services, and even directly purchase the service of "Didi beating" on the way.
Zhou Li also worked part-time as a Didi beater, but because the first order hit the head of the old pedant, Didi beat people and he got a painful lesson.
As a state-founded project, Gaoma Station is more civilian. Compared with a private post station that costs five or six taels of silver, Gaoma Station generally only needs forty or fifty copper plates to be able to travel back and forth between the two cities.
It is worth noting that the carriage at Gaoma Station is a special carriage, which will carry twenty or thirty people at a time, and if there is an unscrupulous stationmaster at Gaoma Station, you can even buy a ticket.
Of course, you just spend this money, and don't ask for any comfort or discomfort, after all, the carriage at the high horse station belongs to the face of the state, as long as the water content in the brain is less than 90 percent, the bandits will not dare to rob the carriage at the high horse station.
So the question is, which one will Zhou Li, Tang Guan and Zhuge Qing choose?
"You can even buy a ticket, I'll you!"
On the side of the official road of Beiliang Gaoma Station, Zhou Li, who didn't care about the strange eyes of others, grabbed Tang Guan's slender and slender arms with his left hand, pushed him to the ground with a super knee, and shouted with a desperate face:
"Damn, this is Beiliang! North Beam! How can you buy a ticket from Chengtieling to Beiliang?! Are you Brother Sun, can you buy a ticket?! ”
"Wait a minute."
Tang Guan stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhou Li's wrist, and said with a serious face:
"I feel like this happened."
Zhou Li was silent.
Zhuge Qing, who was holding the black cat on the side, was also silent.
"What the hell can you do with this, you can score twice!!!!!"
Zhou Li was desperate.
"No, you can't really blame me this time."
Tang Guan turned over and said calmly: "He told me that Tieling has been fleeing the famine recently, and asked me if I went to Tieling to cure the famine." I said no, and he asked me if I was a second-hand ticket seller, buying tickets here and mailing them to Tieling to make the difference. I asked him if it was quite profitable, and he said so-so. I said then can I make money, he said no, and then I asked him if Zhou Li could do it, and he knelt on the ground and gave me the ticket and went to turn himself in. ”
······
Zhou Li and Zhuge Qing's expressions were extremely brilliant.
"Huh?"
After a long time, Zhou Li popped out a monosyllable.
"Zhou Gongzi, you... It's amazing. ”
Zhuge Qing didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only praise weakly.
Zhou Li scratched his head, hissed, and didn't speak. I just silently walked to the side of Takama Station, bought three new tickets under the watchful eyes of the trembling part-time staff, and walked over.
"Old Don, private Marseille."
Lowering his head, Zhou Li began to say strange things that everyone couldn't understand. But Tang Guan understood, because every time Zhou Li wronged her or deliberately wronged her before, he would say this.
Oh grass, it turns out that I was wronged.
In this way, the two of them walked into the high carriage in silence. A few of them sat in a row, a little crowded, but very secure.
"So why don't we hire a carriage?"
Tang Guan, who was caught in the middle, asked faintly.
"Poor."
Zhou Li popped out one word, and after a long time, two more words popped up, "Really poor." ”
Several people were silent.
Since Zhou Li came to Daming, the biggest feeling is that the stories in it are really the virtual world of the groove, the real world, after saving a large group of people from his various operational limits, he suddenly found that he forgot to get the task reward and had no money to hire a good carriage.
On the way, Tang Guan and Zhou Li had a fierce dispute over "whether you can live by kneeling on the ground and kowtowing on the ground when you go back to Tangmen now". Zhou Li felt that they were both father and son, and they couldn't be so tragic that they were to the point of life and death, and it would be over if you kowtowed and admitted your mistake. Tang Guan felt that they were both father and son, with her perception of her father, there was a high probability that I would die if I went back now, and the chance of living was not very high, and the one who died after kowtowing should be decent.
The other passengers in the car could only endure silently under the mental pollution of these two people, and they did not dare to uphold justice, saying that they could not speak loudly in public. After all, they are all from Beiliang, even if they don't know Tang Guan, they also know Zhou Li, in case they annoy this thing, they may take out a dung fork from somewhere and stick it alive.
Outsiders don't understand, they want to go up and theorize, and then they were pulled over by the people next to them to popularize the life of Gui Daozi.
In this way, the carriage moved forward slowly, and the road was safe...
Is it? (End of chapter)
