After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 12 The First Transaction

The next day, the caravan set off as scheduled, and the number of carriages following on the road decreased and increased, and Ziyu's mule cart always followed in the middle of the caravan.

The snow continued intermittently along the way, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground, so the drivers had to get down and lead the animals.

The caravan uniformly changed into short woolen jackets, and leggings were tied on their legs. It was difficult to tell who was who in the team that was traveling against the wind and snow.

On the way, I met a group of exiled prisoners, dressed in cotton-padded clothes but single trousers, and their cotton-padded shoes were already soaked in snow, their faces were blue and blue from the cold, and the escort officials shrank their hands and feet.

From time to time, he swung his whip to drive a group of people who were about to lose consciousness from the cold, but the whip could not drive away the cold.

"Damn, what the hell is the weather this year? There was so much snow in early November." An official stomped and complained.

The whip in his hand was whipped on a prisoner who couldn't move, and he cursed loudly.

"If you don't go, hurry up, I will bury all of you here, bah!"

...

With a wave of the small flag in Guanshi Wang's hand, the entire caravan stopped, and Xiao Wu trotted forward to talk to the leader.

Ziyu could only hear the intermittent sound of the wind blowing over, and discern the content of the speech from the shape of the mouth of the leading officer.

Xiao Wu untied the leggings, and the leader officer took them and tied them to his legs and walked a few steps, nodding in satisfaction.

Xiao Wu bowed his hand to thank him, but he didn't want to return the pair of leggings.

Xiao Wu called his companions to carry four frames of leggings to the exile prisoners, giving priority to each of the ten officials with a pair of leggings.

The officials who had benefited were tied up one after another, and the leading officer whipped his whip on the snow, splashing flying snowflakes.

"Hurry up if you want to buy, don't delay!"

"Come here, lamb wool leggings are exclusively for sale. They are warm and waterproof. A pair only costs two taels of silver."

Xiao Wu took the opportunity to publicize with two leggings in his hand, causing a commotion among the exiles.

People who couldn't stand the cold, didn't care about hiding at this time, and took out their private treasures at the bottom of the box one after another.

Gold rings, gold beans, gold cakes, jade pendants, and a group of officials are rubbing their teeth.

The four frames of leggings that were carried were not enough to change, and Xiao Wu carried two more frames to barely make enough. The exiles tied the leggings to their legs and body one after another.

Ziyu watched this scene coldly, she didn't know how many people were implicated in the case of An Guohou, and few of these people were innocent if they fell to such a level.

Even young children, who have enjoyed the blessings of their parents, should accept the sins they have made.

Ziyu glanced at Ziluo who was looking strangely at her head, and pulled the mule cart to keep up with the speed of the caravan, and the two parties quickly separated.

Although everyone is heading in the same direction, their final destiny is different.

...

Baili Mansion, named after the Baili Mountains, is the border city between the north and the south. The city is full of two styles: rough and delicate.

After settling down on the inn, under Xiao Wu's guidance, Ziyu sold the fifteen pieces of lamb skins at the price of seven taels of silver each, making a net profit of 90 taels.

It was two taels of silver more than Steward Wang expected, and the mosquito legs were small but still meat, Ziyu was quite happy about it.

She found that in this foreign world, selling goods from the north to the south, it is easier to make money with the blessing of space than she imagined, so she settled down and prepared to make a few more trips.

"Because of the heavy snow, this year's prices are better than previous years.

The weather is abnormal, and Manager Wang said that he will leave tomorrow. "

Xiao Wu cheerfully put the 35 taels of silver bill next to his body, and he was not allowed to bring private goods when crossing the Baili Mountains. This is the rule set by Manager Wang for them.

"Little brother, please turn a blind eye to the matter in the caravan.

We all have families to support, and we can't support a large family on that wage alone.

please! "Xiao Wu's smiling eyes were bright.

"Little Fifth Brother, I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm just a stranger who came to the south with a caravan."

Ziyu wasn't afraid of Xiaowu's threat, most people who dared to go to the business were licking blood at the knife's edge, and selling some private goods was completely harmless to her.

"You brother, Fifth Brother recognizes you!
After two years, when I have saved enough money, I will move to Baili City to open a restaurant, and ask my little brother for advice! "

Xiao Wu reached out to hug Ziyu's shoulders, but suddenly found that the height difference between the two was not even a little bit.

"Hahaha, little brother, you need to eat more to grow up, a mighty man like Brother Wu!" Xiao Wu patted his thick chest.

Ziyu immediately moved away from this thick and thick man, if she really wanted to grow up like him, she would never want to find a good husband in this life.

Ziyu, who has never tasted masculinity, has never thought of being a single dog in this life, and the idea of ​​kidnapping a few husbands from time to time arises.

If a man can hug left and right, so can she!

I just don't know if this beautiful wish can be realized in this different time and space!
"You are a bear. If you want to open a restaurant, you have to establish a good relationship with Bao Jiu. I have taught him all these skills."

Ziyu decided to stay away from these rough guys when she arrived in the south.

Not to mention making fun of her height all the time, but even trying to introduce soft girls to her, she is not blessed to accept it.

...

Because of the need to cross the Baili Mountains, Ziyu only purchased the necessary daily necessities, and the caravan did not sell any more goods.

Everyone traveled lightly all the way, and encountered two teams escorting exiles in the mountains, which also added protection to the safety of the caravan.

Wang Guanshi, who was far away from the exile team, looked down, and met five teams of exiles along the way.

The case of An Guohou involved too much scope, and he was afraid that Guanshi Wang, who was affected by the master's family, would withdraw from the caravan and plan to redeem his family.

Wang Guanshi, who had this plan, was even more eager to return to Jiangfu as soon as possible.

Ziyu obviously felt that the time to stop and rest on the way was shortened, but she cautiously detained Ziluo in the mule cart along the way, always vigilant about the surrounding situation.

When a plain appeared in front of her eyes, Ziyu let out a sigh of relief, it must be safe to the south!
...

Jiangfu in December.

The warm sun in winter penetrates the gray sky, bringing warmth gradually, and the sunshine is gentle and warm.

A group of people in wool jackets took off their heavy jackets one after another, yelling and waving their whips with joy to speed up.

Three days later, Ziyu said goodbye to the caravan at the gate of the city, and she was going to the next city.

"Little brother, let's just leave here! I hope we will have a chance to meet again someday!" Steward Wang stood at the gate of the city and bid farewell to Ziyu.

"Little brother, you must come to Wang's house to have a drink with us when you arrive in Jiangfu." Xiao Wu said with some reluctance.

"Brothers, go slowly, there will be a period later!"

Ziyu stood on the mule cart and bowed her hands to everyone, driving the mule cart and disappeared from the sight of a group of weather-stained men.

She doesn't want these people to know their gender for the time being, it's better to stay away!
...

Qingyang Mansion.

From the map, Qingyang Mansion is located between Jiang Mansion and Shangdu Mansion, and it only takes three days to drive to the port.

Ziyu, who drives alone on the road, will take Ziluo to sit in front when it is warm at noon, and drive slowly.

"Brother, where are we going?" Zi Luo, who had regained her boyish attire, raised her head and asked.
