Chapter 267
From the old house to Huju Mountain, Tieshi could ride a horse in one day, but this time he took his wife and daughter out, so he couldn't go on horseback, and the group had to stop for a rest when they encountered a shop.

In fact, it could have been faster, but Ning Wan felt that it was the first time for her to go out with Sophora japonica, she might not be able to bear it, not to mention that the road was not very good, the car would be too bumpy if it went too fast.She often picks the best time of the day to go out with Sophora japonica flowers in her arms.It turns out that Sophora japonica began to go out after the beginning of spring, and the little people know that it is more fun outside than inside, and they always love to laugh when they go outside.

Therefore, their group walked slower and slower, and most of the people who had followed them passed by, but only the group of more than a dozen vehicles followed closely behind.Ning Wan whispered to Tie Shi, "That convoy is so strange!"

Lu Tieshi smiled, "It's a Fuyu caravan. It just sold a lot of silk, satin and books from Liaodong. It's nothing special." The road is now in his hands, so there's nothing he doesn't know.

"But they followed us on purpose."

"Don't worry, there are so many of them, but they can't have bad intentions, and I don't dare to have bad intentions," Tieshi comforted his wife, "This convoy brings a lot of things, and they are very valuable. They should follow us for safety. .”

Maybe it is, but Ning Wan always has a different feeling, because she has seen a middle-aged woman in the motorcade smiling and nodding kindly to her several times.

My family is a family member in the army, so I lived in the shop all the way, but the businessmen in that group were not qualified to live in it, so they set up tents outside the shop every time, so the two groups never had a chance to meet.Ning Wan felt that if this was not the case, the woman would have come to greet her long ago.

At the foot of Huju Mountain, Ning Wan realized that her feeling was indeed right.

The car couldn't go up to Huju Mountain, and everyone was unloading the car, so she hugged Sophora japonica to watch the scenery by a small river, and walked down the river casually.The woman came over at some time, and stood at the lower end, saluted her and said hello, then said with a smile, "Miss is so cute!"

Sophora japonica is really cute, and Ning Wan is the same as all mothers in the world, she especially likes to hear people praise her children.She also knew that this woman was not a bad person, so she nodded with a smile, waved the white and tender little hand of Sophora japonica flower to the woman, and taught her, "Say 'Hello, Auntie'."

Sophora Hua'er can't talk yet, but she was happy outside basking in the sun, so she yelled a few times, making her even more cute.

The woman walked forward with a smile, took out a purse and handed it over, "Mrs. Lu, I'm in a hurry, and some specialties from my hometown are not a respect, so keep it for Miss."

Seeing that the purse was very bright and cute, Sophora Hua'er stretched out her little hand to grab it and play with it, Ning Wan quickly took out a handkerchief and coaxed the purse out, and asked Bai Shi who followed behind to return the purse to the woman. "I don't know how you recognize me, but I don't recognize you, so naturally I can't accept things."

The woman laughed and said: "I didn't recognize Mrs. Lu, but I have seen General Lu. I knew it was General Lu's wife when I saw that Mrs. was beside me." Then she opened the purse in front of Ning Wan, It turned out that there were two ginseng inside, and he handed it over again: "It's really just a small thing from my hometown. Our girls use it to make up their bodies. It can be kept for a long time without spoiling."

But Ning Wan recognized that this ginseng was the top-grade red ginseng, she knew it was extremely rare just by looking at the Butterfly Reed, because she also knew that most of the red ginseng was produced in Fuyu country, and she looked closely at the woman with a round face and a slender face. Seeing that her appearance and behavior are slightly different from those of the Chinese people, I didn't realize it before because she looks gentle and polite, and she speaks Chinese very fluently, so she couldn't tell that she was from Buyeo, so she smiled and said: "This is a very good thing, Keep it to yourself."

The woman saw that Mrs. Lu knew the goods, so she smiled again: "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Lu, I originally prepared this pair for your wife. This time, I will visit you when you are in Liaodong. Since we haven't found out where your wife lives, we The schedule was urgent, so I had to come back. I didn’t want to bump into Madam on the way. Wouldn’t it be a coincidence? I also ask Madam to show the little lady some face and accept this ginseng.”

Ning Wan was surprised, "What do you want from me?"

The woman said: "We are merchants from Fuyu. My husband's family name is Cui, and we go to Liaodong every year to do business. When we passed this road, we always had to pay road money to various cottages. The road money is getting more and more year by year. It's a lot, but the profits are getting thinner every year, but the family has no other business, so we have to endure it. Now that General Lu has wiped out the bandits, it's easy for us merchants to do business, so we wholeheartedly want to honor the general. A few days ago, my husband went to visit the general and failed to meet him, so I wanted to ask the general's wife to intercede for us.

Ning Wan was surprised, "You guys just keep doing business, what can you say?"

Mrs. Cui said: "My family is the leader among the merchants from Fuyu Kingdom who came to Liaodong. We have already discussed that every tenth of the goods we have will be used to honor the general. We only ask the general to protect our safety."

"Now I think the road is very safe. Could it be that there are bandits?" Ning Wan said, "If there are bandits, just tell me, and our general will send troops to wipe them out."

"Not at all, we didn't see a single bandit on the way," Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "So I thank General Lu wholeheartedly and want to offer everyone's hearts to him. Of course, we also thank Madam, this red ginseng is just a It's just something for the lady to play with."

Such expensive ginseng is nothing more than a small thing, it seems that these Buyeo merchants are really generous.Ning Wan understands their thoughts, that is, they would rather give up some property to keep the business going, if so, it would be a waste of money to agree to them!

But Ning Wan directly refused for Tie Shi, "If this is the case, there is no need, our general never accepts gifts. And since he was ordered to come to suppress the bandits, he will definitely keep this area safe." She turned to look at the car. My things are almost gone, so I want to go back with Sophora japonica.

Mrs. Cui has been in business for so many years, and she has never seen a safe one without spending money, so she became anxious and hurried forward two steps: "We really sincerely offer the goods, as long as General Lu agrees!"

Ning Wan laughed, "You guys are sincere, but don't you know that our general is ruthless and never accepts a penny of gifts!"

Since Mrs. Cui met Mrs. Lu, she felt that she was kind and kind, and now she had no choice but to believe this incredible thing, and thanked her repeatedly, "Our life will be easier in this way."

Ning Wan said: "Although you have saved tolls, others have also saved, and because the journey is safe, there will only be more people doing business. Much cheaper."

"Nothing can be hidden from Mrs. Lu, that's how business is." Mrs. Cui was really convinced at this time. She wanted to honor General Lu's money. In fact, besides the purpose of ensuring safety, she actually had another idea, which was to use this to climb up to Lu. General, control all business in this area in the future.Although a lot of goods have to be delivered in this way, it actually restricts the exchange of ordinary people in the two places. At that time, the price of the goods is completely up to the family.

Now that General Lu doesn't receive a penny, it's not just his family that really benefits, but everyone else.

Although Mrs. Cui was a little disappointed, the result was actually very good, and she was also happy.And she had been preparing for a long time to meet General Lu and his wife, so she said again: "Our family has discussed again, and we are willing to donate our property and ask General Lu to build a few shops in the northeast of Huju Mountain."

"But even if a delivery shop is built, you can't live in it?"

"Although we are not allowed to live in the shop, as long as we rest in the shop, we don't have to be afraid anymore. Even dozens of miles around the shop are extremely safe."

This is not bad, as expected, I saw many people walking outside the shop every day during the trip.After a while, houses will be built next to the shop, and maybe a small town like Ma Yi will be formed!
Ning Wan didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters, but after listening to Mrs. Cui's words, she felt somewhat sympathetic to these businessmen.Although I also opened a shop to do business, after all, I was safe and sound in the city, and I never encountered bandits.Now these people are begging in front of themselves just to keep the hard-trafficked goods.

But of course she couldn't make up her own mind about such a big matter, so she said, "I can help you ask Qianhu if the shop will be repaired again." As she said, she hugged Sophora japonica and went to ask Tieshi.

Tieshi had seen his wife talking to the Fuyu people earlier, and now he heard his daughter-in-law come to ask questions for them, so he smiled and said: "You are kind," and said: "Just pass on the word, I will continue to go northeast to prevent bandits. Build a shop."

Sure enough, Ning Wan sent a message, "The shop will be repaired again, you just need to rest assured."

Mrs. Cui laughed when she heard this, "Thank you General! Then we will be safe and sound." Waving a few people from the caravan, they all stepped forward to salute Tieshi, "Thank you General Lu for destroying the bandits, so we are willing to donate our family wealth Take refuge in the general!"

"No need!" Tie Shi was still smiling just now, but now he lowered his face and said indifferently: "I have already dealt with the merchants who were involved in the bandits before, so there is no problem for you to do business, but if there is anything that violates the laws of the dynasty, it will definitely not be done." Forgive me!"

The people of Fuyu got scared and kowtowed again and again: "Although we paid the road money before, we were forced by the bandits, otherwise we would have been snatched by them even people and cars, and the worst thing is that they even lost their lives! Don't dare to collude with bandits, let alone violate the laws of the court!"

Lu Tieshi said: "In that case, you guys go!"

The people of Fuyu got up and respectfully backed away. Mrs. Cui stayed behind and thanked Ning Wan again and again. Madame is here."

Ning Wan also felt that these people were really afraid of Tieshi.

In fact, Iron Stone is not that scary at all.He just looked serious, but in fact he was only dealing with enemies. As for ordinary businessmen and common people, he never made things difficult for him, nor did he want to get too close.

But on second thought, Tie Shi is the general who suppressed bandits, so this attitude should be more appropriate.Just as it is better to say gentle words yourself, he smiled and said: "As long as you don't collude with bandits or do things that violate the law, our general will not only not ask for your property, but also guarantee your safety in the Huju Mountain area." , you don’t have to worry, just go about your business.”
