Chapter 335: From initial distrust to Lord Yan to worship.
Chapter 335: From initial distrust to Lord Yan to worship.
Duke Yan didn't even get angry, but Li Yan blocked his mouth first: "My husband, don't tell me: No one in Yuzhou City dares to make a move against us?"
"I said it was in broad daylight, even in the black market, but I didn't tell you to sneak into a black shop."
Duke Yan was very angry, but when facing his wife, he was a bit lacking in temperament. At most, his tone was blaming.
At this time, Luo Mei changed the subject and wanted to help his wife. Anyway, nothing happened: "This Feng Chixiang seems to be eager to get the money back."
Zimo also said: "The price of the things my wife bought was obviously lower than the market price."
Donggu said: "When I came back, I arranged for Rouju to stay behind. I saw that there were other maids and servants outside soliciting customers. I'm afraid we only entered one of their shops last night."
Yan Guogong looked at Zimo, and Zimo nodded and said, "I asked the guards to stay behind and observe. This is indeed the case, and their business lasted until dawn. Many customers bought a lot, and many people came in." He is also a businessman from a foreign land. I think it is related to the fact that Linglong Pavilion was burned down yesterday and there is no place to buy."
Yan Guogong's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: The master behind them won't make any big moves, right?
Duke Yan: "If the snipe and the clam quarrel, will Linglong Pavilion be burned down? Or maybe Fenglingxiang will be blamed?"
Zimo: "I think it should be possible, and the forces behind them should be competing with each other. I'm afraid Feng Ling Xiang will take the blame this time."
This shows that there is more than one force in Yuzhou City, and there should be another force that is restricting each other. As expected, the water is deep wherever there is interest.
But now they see that the master behind Linglong Pavilion is more blatant, unscrupulous, colludes with others, does big business, and should be stronger.
The one behind Linglong Pavilion is more restrained.
But the purpose of both parties is very clear, that is, eager to make money.
But the fire yesterday caused Linglong Pavilion to suffer a heavy financial blow. It is hard to say how things will develop in the future.
If the two families can be made suspicious of each other and then weaken each other's power, they will naturally like to see it. Anyway, the things they sell are all from improper sources, and the money they get will not do any good.
As for how they will fight later, it has nothing to do with them, because they have a long road ahead and no time to worry about it.
Chu Chu listened to the half-informed and didn't say anything. She just felt that she had made a lot of money by getting most of the jade, and she had a lot of space, so she didn't say that she wanted to benefit the people.
When you go back, let your father find a good craftsman to polish the jade and sell it. You can also give each relative a few pieces, and even a few friends will have to give one piece as a gift.
What she regrets most now is that she failed to choose a good gift for her brother Jue. Something too ordinary is not worthy of her brother Jue.
"We'll reach the Huaihe River in one day's walk. The road ahead will be much smoother, but don't be careless."
Yan Guogong explained the road conditions ahead. After passing through Xinyang, Xiangfan, and Ankang, we can reach our destination, Qingyang.
Now, he has long forgotten his original intention of getting angry at his wife.
A few of them had never traveled far away. When Yan Guogong took out the map of Yu and analyzed it, he discovered that they were not heading due north, but actually heading northwest.
The Northern and Western Borders of the Dasheng Dynasty were actually not too far apart. It’s no wonder that Prince Chun said that it would only take two or three days to return by detouring to the Western Regions. The people of the Northern Borders all fled to the Western Borders. In addition to being close to each other, , the climate is also similar.
The other people looked much more relaxed, but they didn't notice that when he mentioned the Huaihe River, Zimo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the young lady beside him who was playing pick-up with his wife and laughing heartlessly.
In fact, Zimo discussed with Yan Guogong that the most dangerous thing for this group of people after passing through the mountains in front was crossing the river. The Huaihe River was the most important river they passed, so he had to be on guard.
Several consecutive dangers encountered by the group were all man-made. Only then did Director Fang realize that there was someone behind them who was specifically targeting them and Liang Cao, and wanted to strangle them to death along the way.
And every move in this game was solved by Yan Guogong, and they were solved quickly without him realizing it. Basically, they had no losses, and some things even seemed to be predicted in advance.
At the beginning, when the Minister of War assigned him this task, he was very skeptical of Yan Guogong's ability. After all, he was very worried about problems and did not fully cooperate with Yan Guogong's work.
But when it comes to this incident, one thing can be said to be a coincidence or luck, but the fact that everything is handled so perfectly is a matter of ability.
He is slowly turning from doubt to trust, and now he actually has a mentality of worship in his heart. It is not just the brotherly love that saved his life.
Under the guidance of Chief Fang, several young generals and soldiers also developed feelings and trust with Zimo and the guards, and everything was easy to discuss.
So when Yan Guogong and Zimo came for him again, he also brought several young generals with him, all of whom were sincere and respectful.
Captain Li and the other five expressed their opinions directly in front of Director Fang: "Master Yan, what's the next step? You can make arrangements, but we will listen to you and Master Fang."
Zimo spread Yu Tu on the table, and Yan Guogong analyzed the possible dangers ahead of the Huaihe River with everyone.
"The biggest obstacle to crossing the river is the boat."
Before they came, they already knew that there is no bridge across the Huaihe River. You must take a ferry to cross the Huaihe River. Under normal circumstances, there are only four large ferries on the Huaihe River, two of which are used to transport people; two can transport people. The carriages and horses, called cargo ferries, are located on both sides of the Huaihe River, that is, there is only one passenger ferry and one cargo ferry on each side of the river.
The passenger ferry can carry fifty people at a time, and the cargo ferry can carry four carriages at a time, and it can also carry five or six horses. According to the weight of their current carriages, it should be difficult to carry a few more horses.
If we cross the river at this speed, people can cross it in about ten trips. The most difficult thing is the carriages and horses. If two cargo ferries are running at the same time, it will take hundreds of trips. If neither of them can cross the river in a day or night, then there is still no one. It can only be completed when there are obstacles. It is difficult to say whether the ship can withstand such pressure.
"Now, firstly, there is a shortage of cargo ferries, secondly, we are worried that the ships have been tampered with, and thirdly, with such continuous ferries, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems with the ships."
After listening to Yan Guogong's words, everyone took a breath. Most of the soldiers coming from the capital and the south knew how to swim. If there was a problem with the passenger ferry, most of them could save themselves.
But if there is a problem with the cargo ferry, the food and grass will be gone, and if the ship sinks, it will be even more difficult to find another ship.
