Jiaohua

Chapter 1284
The weather was bright and clear, and the sun was warm. Xia Zhaoyi, dressed in gray and plain, stopped at the intersection.

Going down from the bridge in front is Hengxiang's largest market for chariots and horses.

There was a lot of voices and endless noise.

"These goods are not good! You must pay more to deliver these goods!"

"Where is the guest going? This way, this way, guest officer, come here!"

"Leave here for Yanzhou, and we will be leaving in an hour! Those who want to get in the carriage, hurry up! The price is cheap!"

"No, no, no, I won't go out, I won't go out with any money, I'm only shopping in Hengxiang!"

"Water transport? I also know how to transport by water! The price is easy to negotiate, absolutely fair!"

……

"Second Miss, this place is really prosperous!" Zhan Ning couldn't help saying.

"Zhao Ning's contribution," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "she built the Ning'an Building in Hengxiang, and the business exchanges also led to the rise of the car and horse market."

"If it goes on like this, it is also the credit of Dongping Academy, because Dongping Academy settled in Hengxiang."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Let's go."

After crossing the stone bridge, she was surrounded by several men as soon as she got off the bridge.

"Where is the guest going?"

"Is the passenger officer transporting the goods or traveling by himself?"

"Oh, I didn't realize that, the guest officer is a little lady!"

……

Xia Zhaoyi politely refused them, walked into the back alley, and entered the largest shop in this market from the backyard.

Hearing that Xia Zhaoyi was coming, the shopkeeper greeted him immediately: "Big boss! Manager Wang mentioned it, but I didn't expect you to come in person!"

Xia Zhaoyi was looking at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, turned around when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "There are too many trivial matters these days, and Wang Fengnian may be too busy, and because of this, I have to tell you a lot, so I will come here."

The shopkeeper's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Boss, this matter seems difficult?"

"It's not difficult, but it will be very tiring." Xia Zhaoyi said, looking at Zhan Ning.

Zhan Ning immediately stepped forward and put the baggage he was carrying on the table.

The burden is square and square, as if wrapped in a brocade box.

When Zhan Ning opened it, it turned out to be a whole stack of paper, as thick as a brick, and the paper was high-quality Xuanhua paper.

The shopkeeper picked up a piece of paper and looked at it with amazement, but after reading the contents of the paper, he was speechless: "This..."

"I need to send these papers to the northwest," Xia Zhaoyi said, "From now on, I need to send people to go there every ten days until I build a town in Juezhou. Afterwards, Nafu Town will print."

The store manager didn't read on, and said embarrassedly: "Second Miss, the content on this paper is too exaggerated, how can it be so good..."

"Since it's your own writing, your own paper, you can praise it however you want." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhan Ning pursed her lips and smiled.

The content on the paper is indeed full of hype, boasting that the people of the Central Plains are strong, the people of the Central Plains are wonderful, and the people of the Central Plains are omnipotent.

However, this is only a small part.

As the second young lady said, I have to send it every ten days. I have prepared a lot of words, and I specially hired those talented people from Lianfeng Academy to write them.

He bluntly asked them to flatter, to praise the country, Xia's army, men, and women.

So, how loud this flattery is, how to shoot, the harder you shoot, the higher the reward...

Even an eighty-year-old woman who can dance with two knives, somersaults and somersaults on a horse has been written.

Xia Zhaoyi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, pushed it away and said, "Send it to this address, and someone will pick it up there."

"Okay," said the shopkeeper, and couldn't help rubbing the paper with his fingers again, "Second Miss, this paper is really good."

A piece of flower paper is like a bookmark.The paper is smooth and full of texture, and there are looming patterns on the paper, which are elegant and delicate.Under the specific light, the texture is lustrous gold and fine silver, micro-carved to the touch, and the texture is superb.

Not only is the design exquisite and the details are exquisite, but the art of printing and embossing is also an excellent craftsmanship.

It may not be difficult for some craftsmen to copy leaflets, but now, this thick stack is produced in batches.

"Compared to them, we are already very stingy," Xia Zhaoyi looked at the printed paper in the bag, "They not only printed booklets one after another, but also gave free shoes."

"Shoes? Why? To buy people's hearts?"

"Ah."

"That's easy, then we'll give you shoes too! No, no, we'll give you clothes and some dry food?"

"How can we send dry food!" Zhan Ning said, "They want to buy people's hearts, but we don't need it."

"That's right," said the shopkeeper, "There are still so many hungry people in my family, so there is no reason to give food to the enemy."

"For this matter, shopkeeper Lin will have to work hard." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"No hard work, no hard work!" Shopkeeper Lin said quickly, "We must let the best horse and the strongest messenger do this job!"

Leaving the chariot and horse market, not long after walking, there was the sound of gongs beating across the street.

Zhan Ning turned his head to look and said, "I don't know if it was the gamblers who came knocking, or the officers and soldiers in the yamen knocking."

"Officers and soldiers," Xia Zhaoyi said, "It's almost noon."

"Those from the Fang family, are you going to pass by here?"

"I don't know, but if you parade through the streets, you should pass by the place with the most people."

Zhan Ning looked around, nodded and said: "Indeed, this area has the most market, so it should pass by here. Miss Er, shall we go to see the execution?"

"Killing, what's so interesting about it?" Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and looked up at the blue sky above his head. "Actually, they could have survived."

Outside the window of the Kangku mansion, she heard Ding Yuejin and the others say that the Fang family came to the city to start a killing spree.

Therefore, these people cannot stay.

Tigers and wolves in the dark will always be punished.

The sound of gongs and drums became louder and louder, deafening.

The crowd is surging, they all go to the place where the sound is, and wherever it is lively, they will squeeze there.

Xia Zhaoyi turned around and went to the other side, took a longer detour, and entered an inconspicuous mansion in the northern city.

Inside the gate, several horses raised their heads, and ten soldiers on the side of the horses were ready to go.

The Xia family army headed by Gao Zhou saw Xia Zhaoyi coming back and shouted, "Second Miss!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled at them, then turned to look at Guan Chi, Fan Yu, and Liang Dechang on the other side.

The three of them were also preparing to set off, but they had much more packages than them.

"When you go to Qingxiang Village, after meeting Big Brother Zhi, you must first write to me to let me know about his recent situation." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Second Miss, don't worry, I'll make it happen." Fan Yu responded.

"It's a long way to go, and the situation in the northwest is becoming more and more difficult. Take care, I will definitely arrive after autumn."

Liang Dechang said solemnly: "Well, we have been in the Northwest for many years, and we have already been familiar with everything in the Northwest. Second Miss, don't worry too much. On the other hand, Hengxiang and Li Qian, and the battle of going south to Namuye, Second Miss, you have to take care of yourself."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Okay."

The gate of the mansion was wide open, and when all eyes were drawn to the execution ground of the Fang family, two groups of soldiers and horses came out from the gate, heading north and south.
