Chapter 196 Who should I go to Liangzhou to do business with?

If Liangzhou City is a city, it seems that there are still people living there, and there are also wealthy people.

But some villages and towns in Liangzhou look very desolate, even more desolate than the ruins of Liangzhou.

Shen Ru looked at this scene and felt a little sad.

"Master Xiao, there must be something we can grow here! Why is the ground so empty?"

"Lazy!" Xiao Wujin said coldly in the carriage.

"Miss Shen, every year, your Excellency asks agricultural officials to distribute crop seeds to various counties, but something happens every year."

Luneng explained: "Liangzhou has little rain and poor land. I don't know why, but the harvest is not good no matter what I plant."

"Rainwater is a problem, Mr. Xiao. It depends on how long the river can be dug. If it can be connected to the river in Ganzhou, the entire Liangzhou will not be short of water."

Shen Ru suggested that in future generations, the Hexi Corridor would be a major producer of cotton, rice, and fruits!
"Master Xiao, you are doing great things that benefit the country and the people, and you will definitely get better."

"Even now, we can borrow water from Suzhou and Ganzhou!"

The words Shen Ru spoke made Xiao Wujin sound as innocent as a child, but they also sounded hopeful.

"You can still borrow water, Miss Shen, you don't know that Shazhou is also poor, and the governor is crying about poverty with us!"

In her later generations, there was a major South-to-North Water Diversion Project, but it was a pity that Xiao Wujin was the only one working on it in Liangzhou, so he was a bit weak!

"It all depends on man-made efforts. Once the water problem is solved, all subsequent problems will be solved slowly."

Shen Ru cheered: "Master Xiao, you can do it."

Xiao Wujin smiled in the carriage, and Shen Ru thought he could do it.

After a few brief conversations, Shen Ru suggested Shangguan Road and move forward faster.

A horse-drawn carriage was riding on the dusty official road. There were not many passers-by along the road. When passing through the mountain road, the speed also slowed down.

Seeing that there was no place in front of him or any store behind him, Shen Ru suspected that he would be sleeping rough in the forest tonight.

"Did you hear the sound of fighting in the front?"

As the speed slowed down, Shen Ru seemed to hear the exchange of weapons.

"There are many gangsters on the mountain road, Shen Ru, be careful."

Xiao Wujin whispered.

But it’s impossible to retreat.

"Master Xiao, take your time, I'll go take a look!"

Shen Ru said and immediately urged the horse to drive forward.

"Shen Ru..." Xiao Wujin poked his head out of the carriage and shouted helplessly, forcing Luneng to follow him.

The caravan should have encountered bandits in front of them, who were robbing homes and houses. Shen Ru looked at it for a while and was a little frightened. These bandits were very skilled!
Wait, the person fighting with the bandits... looks familiar to her!
"Fang Jin!" Shen Ru shouted loudly after seeing through the opponent's moves.

Fang Jin, who was fighting with the bandits, paused and looked towards Shen Ru.

Since they were acquaintances, they had to help. Shen Ru immediately stepped forward to help Fang Jin fight the bandits.

With the addition of Shen Ru, Fang Jin's manpower quickly repelled the bandits.

"Fang Jin, what are you... Oh, Cui Ti's mother-in-law is also in business, is this her goods?"

Shen Ru looked Fang Jin up and down and couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Shen, long time no see!"

Fang Jin smiled slightly and said, "You are still so wise."

Xiao Wujin and Luneng also arrived. When he heard that Shen Ru knew each other, Xiao Wujin stuck his head out of the carriage.

It's him!

Xiao Wujin recognized Fang Jin, but at the same time, Fang Jin also recognized Xiao Wujin.

"Miss Shen, the person behind you... you are..." "The governor of Liangzhou paid a private visit incognito. Naturally, because of my good skills, I became your escort."

Shen Ru casually made an excuse and said, "It's you, where are you planning to go this time?"

"Could it be Liangzhou?"

Shen Ru was very curious. She couldn't think of any other reason for meeting him in this place.

Fang Jin looked a little strange, but he followed Shen Ru's words and said, "Well, it is indeed Liangzhou. I stopped by to visit the Pei family."

Why did Fang Jin take action? Is Cui Ti with Pei Wenjing now?
Shen Ru couldn't help but wonder in her mind, who would Fang Jin transport this cart of things to Liangzhou to trade with?
"It's getting late. It seems that we will have to camp out in the mountains tonight."

Fang Jin's words interrupted Shen Ru's thoughts and also extended an invitation to Shen Ru.

Shen Ru turned around and silently asked Xiao Wujin.

"Shen Ru, find a place to spend the night!"

Xiao Wujin didn't think about anything else. Fang Jin was an irrelevant person to him.

Now that Xiao Wujin had spoken, Shen Ru said to Fang Jin, "Then... let's all come together?"

"With a large number of people, even if the bandits come back at night, we can resist together."

"As long as you are here, I won't be afraid of anyone coming!"

Fang Jin smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for several months, but Shen Ru is still as charming as ever!"
Fang Jin's caravan, which consisted of only about ten people, had gone into the forest to find a place to camp under Fang Jin's instruction.

On Shen Ru's side, Luneng also went to do everything, while Shen Ru stayed with Fang Jin for a long time and saw Xiao Wujin's face turned gloomy.

"You ladies...well, are you okay?"

Shen Ru still couldn't help but asked, is Cui Ti and Pei Wenjing together?
Fang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Miss, you are very kind. After you return, you will take charge of the Fang family's property."

Fang Jin could not reveal anything about Prince Jing.

"Miss Shen, how are you doing in Liangzhou? What are your plans?"

"It's good. I work for Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao keeps my family safe."

Shen Ru simply said: "When you go to Liangzhou, are you looking for the Yan family to do business?"

Fang Jin thought that Shen Ruyan knew Yan Shaoqing, so he nodded without concealing it.

"You have this plan, Shen Ru... you are in Liangzhou, have you heard that the Yan family is selling a kind of fine salt?"

Oh, isn’t this about reaching the master’s door?

But Shen Ru still looked surprised, and she leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Fang Jin, please keep your voice down. Selling illegal salt will lead to jail time."

"Don't let the governor behind me hear what you said."

Fang Jin glanced at Xiao Wujin and was startled by Xiao Wujin's cold face.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao is the most strict, you..."

"Hey, it's hard to say!"

Shen Ru sighed deliberately: "But if I want to live a good life as a prisoner in Liangzhou, I can only wrong myself!"

"Oh, by the way, Pei Chongguang is Master Xiao's disciple now and lives in the Governor's Mansion!"

Fang Jin knew about this.

"My lady has been thinking about the Pei family. They are fine, and my lady can work with peace of mind!"

"It's okay. Pei Chongguang has entered the governor's house, and his mother is working in my second aunt's embroidery workshop."

"His aunt and the old lady are at home, writing letters for the neighbors to earn a little money. They are living a decent life."

Shen Ru deliberately mentioned the situation of the Pei family, but looking at Fang Jin's expression, he was not surprised at all. Obviously, he knew!
There must be people from Pei Wenjing in Liangzhou. She really wanted to see what was in Fang Jin's motorcade!
