Although he was still a little worried about whether the imperial court would allow trade with foreign countries without permission, Chen Ao still agreed to Lan Yuyan's proposal and allowed her to trade in Hulu County.

Chen Ao suddenly remembered the investment promotion of later generations, and he didn't expect that this kind of thing would also be encountered by himself. If this kind of activity can be successfully organized, it will inevitably benefit the people, and it can be regarded as a great achievement of oneself.

The two laughed for a while, and gradually had nothing to say. The atmosphere immediately seemed a little ambiguous, and Chen Ao hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Lan Yuyan got up and sent him out of the room, watching Chen Ao follow the maid down the stairs, she suddenly sneered lightly and muttered, "Chen Ao...... Hmph, but that's it!"

Chen Ao feels that he is really smooth sailing now, he is so bored that he can talk to beautiful women, and he can do such a great thing for the people of Hulu County. If Hulu County can really become the commercial center of the East and the West, even if the people of Hulu County do not do trade, they can make a lot of money just by receiving caravans from all over the country.

Now Hulu County is only out of the main transportation route, and the caravan is just a temporary stop. Hulu County's catering and entertainment industry is so thriving. When the day comes, when the caravans don't just pass by, but settle here, the little city will no longer be as desolate as it is now.

Chen Ao was elated, humming a little song and walking back. On the way, he met Zhou Zhutou and gave a special order to send someone to protect the Persian caravan from being harassed.

This is the first time that a foreign caravan has traded goods in Hulu County, and everything is difficult at the beginning, and Chen Ao can't let this matter be messed up. Zhou Zhutou agreed, but his face was a little strange, and he looked at Chen Ao ambiguously, as if to say, "I understand"!

Chen Ao was inexplicable, turned back to the county office, and met Qin Lang at the door again. His heart moved, and he thought to himself, the county government has a gang of fast-eyed masters, and it's okay to scare ordinary people, but he really has to deal with some ruffians, scoundrels and bullies, but he is afraid that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength.

And the people led by Qin Lang turned out to be from the Salt Gang, so brave and ruthless, they were more bandits than bandits. If they were to keep an eye on the Persian caravan, they would come in handy in case there was something inconvenient to catch them.

Thinking of this, Chen Ao stopped Qin Lang and ordered: "Qin Lang, do you know that there is a group of Persian merchants in the city? You send two brothers to go to the Fuxi Tower to hold a little bit around the Fuxi Tower, don't let any petty thieves, ruffians and other people get into trouble!"

"Hey!" Qin Lang agreed, and actually looked at Chen Ao with the same strange eyes.

Chen Ao said strangely: "Why do you look at me like this? Zhou Zhutou is also ......"

Qin Lang whispered: "My lord, you still have to take care of your health! You already have five ladies, which is enough to work hard." That Persian cat is not an easy master to submit, you need to pay attention!"

Chen Ao couldn't laugh and cry, and said, "Persian cat, you mean Miss Blue, isn't she a vixen?"

"You also know that she is a vixen!" Qin Lang said seriously, "I'll just say! Dressed like that, isn't it a vixen?"

"Get out!" Chen Ao smiled bitterly, raised his foot and kicked Qin Lang's buttocks, "Do as I say!"

Qin Lang gave up his hand and left. Chen Ao shook his head, he didn't expect that he was actually thought by them to be in love with the blue jade smoke. also blamed himself for marrying five beauties at the same time, and the movement was too big. So much so that many people think that he is a promiscuous magistrate.

Chen Ao sighed and returned to the backyard. After thinking about it, I went to the study first and wrote down what I saw and heard today. It seems that there will be a lot of wonderful plots in his legendary story.

After writing the story, he went to eat with a few beautiful women. Chen Ao was unconcerned and told everyone about today's events.

In hindsight, he found out that he was very wise in doing so. These wives of his are not those little daughters-in-law who don't go out of the door and don't go out of the second door. These women have eyes and hands, and they already know what is interesting going on in the city today. Naturally, they also heard that a Persian vixen had arrived, and they were waiting to see if Chen Ao would hide anything from them.

As a result, as soon as Chen Ao said it honestly, they laughed, and a storm disappeared into invisibility. Chen Ao sighed secretly, it seems that he can't hide anything from his wife in the future!

After eating, Chen Ao called Master Wu over and instructed him to provide some convenience for the Persian caravan. Master Wu naturally agreed without a button. After doing this, Chen Ao had nothing to do. He doesn't know much about trade, so he naturally can't get involved. For specific things, let Lan Yuyan toss it by herself.

Chen Ao put this matter aside for the time being, and remembered the gang of horse bandits for a while. It has been more than two months since the last time a gust of wind was committed. For some time, it has been calm. Chen Ao felt lucky, but also a little difficult. In the last case, I was not able to find many clues. If a gust of wind doesn't come out again, then it will be really difficult to catch this gang of bandits by yourself.

Chen Ao asked Feng Hu to take people and patrol the trade route every day to ensure the safety of the trade route. Some time ago, Xu Minghua came to suggest a few times and asked him to withdraw the people. Xu Minghua said that a gust of wind was due to the fact that he saw that the government was moving bigger, and he was a little scared, so he might have gone somewhere else.

Chen Ao also felt that there was such a possibility. But he didn't dare to withdraw the people, what if the horse bandits saw that their people were gone, and came out to commit crimes again?

Chen Ao felt that he couldn't move forward. At this time, Xu Minghua suddenly walked into the lobby again, still holding an official document in his hand.

Chen Ao invited him to sit down and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Xu?"

Xu Minghua said: "The official letter from the state government has just been delivered, and there is nothing special, that is, we must ensure the safety of the caravan and the smooth flow of the trade route!"

Chen Ao frowned and said, "Aren't we doing this?"

Xu Minghua said: "My lord, it's spring now. It is customary to use this time of year for merchants from all over the country to form caravans and conduct trade. Generally speaking, at this time, I set off and went to Persia and other countries in the Western Regions to stay for a while. Once and again, it is almost autumn, and you can rush back when the weather has just turned cold. Therefore, the caravans of this season are the largest. We are responsible for the safety of Hulu County, and the pressure at this time is also the greatest!"

Chen Ao suddenly nodded and said, "Lord Xu has always been in charge of public security, and you still have to worry about this matter!"

Xu Minghua said: "It is naturally our duty to do things within our humble duties. It's just an adult...... There are not many people in our county office. At this time, everyone was in charge of the security of the city, and they all felt very difficult. Now you've sent half of your people outside, and I'm afraid ......"

Chen Ao frowned and hesitated. Of course, the safety of the city is important, but the safety of the road should not be neglected. What if a gust of wind takes advantage of this time to plunder the gang?

Xu Minghua seemed to see what Chen Ao was thinking, and said: "Xia Guan thinks that we have been patrolling for so long, and we have not been able to succeed in a gust of wind for so long, so we must not dare to act rashly." And so many caravans, taking care of each other. Ordinary horse bandits don't dare to do it casually!"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Okay! In that case, you tell them to stop patrolling the roads from tomorrow onwards, and concentrate on maintaining law and order in the city!"
