When Yang Yuhao rushed to the side yard of Wutong, he was stopped by his family's guards.
"Step aside!"
The guard did not move, looking at the angry Yang Yuhao and admonishing: "Sir, the princess has said that no one except her is allowed to enter this courtyard."
"I say it again, get out of here!"
"I'm sorry, sir."
No matter how many times he said it, Princess Yuyang made the final decision on this family.
When Yang Yuhao saw that the guards were unable to enter, he rushed in like crazy, but he was no match for these strong guards.
In the end, Yang Yuhao not only did not rush in, but was carried out of the yard by his shoulders and legs by four guards.
Du Huairou stood on the stone path aside and watched the scene before her, then silently turned around and left for the kitchen.
…
When Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui left Yang Mansion and returned to the courtyard in the backyard of Yunlai Inn, Liang Laosan, shopkeeper Liang and Du Mazi were already waiting in the courtyard.
Although the two of them had simply made psychological preparations, when they saw the respected Mr. Zhou turning into a little lady, they were still shocked and didn't know what to say.
Compared to shopkeeper Liang and Du Mazi who didn't know what to say, Zhou Yunshu was much more comfortable.
Now that they have become their own people, sooner or later they have to know that they are women.
"When did you arrive in Fucheng?"
Du Mazi glanced at Huzi, who was pouring water for Zhou Yunshu with an expression as usual, swallowed and said, "We just arrived in the morning."
"I'm just not sure whether you guys are here, Mr. Zhou, so we stayed at the city gate and finally waited for Liang Laosan to come."
"Have you met Uncle Yan and the others?"
Du Mazi shook his head.
Zhou Yunshu nodded and looked at Shopkeeper Liang, who had a complicated expression next to her, and asked, "How are things going?"
Shopkeeper Liang sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts and said: "The manpower was limited at the time, so we only had time to evacuate two grain depots. Now everything is hidden outside the city."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said: "You found out that I am a woman, so you regret it?"
Shopkeeper Liang didn't expect that Zhou Yunshu's topic would suddenly change so suddenly and directly. He was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly: "No Mr. Zhou, I, I just can't react at the moment."
"That's good."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, Huzi said from the side: "The boss is the boss, it doesn't matter whether he is a boy or a girl!"
Huzi's words instantly woke up Du Mazi and Shopkeeper Liang, who were still a little confused.
Yes, as long as they are still the same person, it doesn't seem that important to them whether they are male or female. At most, they need to pay a little more attention to propriety in the future.
Liang Laosan had already accepted it. He looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "Sir, we saw people from Dujia Village when we were outside the city, but they didn't recognize us."
Liang Laosan and Du Mazi also nodded, "They are staying outside the city for the time being. It is estimated that they will leave tomorrow after staying one night today."
Their team was almost half smaller than when Zhou Yunshu was still there, especially since there were not many large items such as luggage and mule carts. Now they looked not much different from ordinary refugees migrating south.
Du Mazi originally thought about going back to the team to have a look, but later he temporarily gave up the idea of going back when he saw that his parents and family were not only a little embarrassed, but also had some mules and luggage at home.
Once he goes back, he still doesn't know if his family will let him come back. He hopes that after he builds a family business with Zhou Yunshu, he can take his parents and family with him. Then he will have dignity.
"Everyone should take a rest here during this period. Don't go out for the time being. If you have to go out, put on a little disguise."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Shopkeeper Liang and the others who had lost a lot of weight and said, "Have a good rest. It's been a hard time."
Shopkeeper Liang looked at Zhou Yunshu, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mr. Zhou, where are we going next?"
"Haizhou."
Shopkeeper Liang frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to Nanzhou?"
"The government in Haizhou is weak, the people are strong, and pirates are rampant. We are unfamiliar with the place and will be bullied if we go there."
"Piracy is rampant, so the people's customs are strong, and the government is weak, so we can refine sea salt."
"Sea salt!" Shopkeeper Liang exclaimed, then looked around and lowered his voice: "Mr. Zhou, smuggling smuggled salt is a capital crime, let alone making it ourselves."
"But," he asked cautiously, "do you know how to make sea salt?"
Okay, he was a little excited.
After all, since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and even throughout the ages, the famous salt merchant has been extremely wealthy, and it is impossible for him not to be greedy.
"It's a coincidence." She not only knows how to make sea salt, but also knows the production process of Zigong well salt.
Zigong well salt does not exist in today's Zhou Dynasty. There are only sea salt and lake salt. Zigong well salt can be said to be a secret weapon in her later period.
But Zhou Yunshu wanted to lure shopkeeper Liang to Haizhou willingly, so of course she would not mention Zigong Well Salt.
"High risks will lead to high returns, not to mention that Haizhou is vast and sparsely populated." Zhou Yunshu now has no respect for the imperial court, so he will not consider whether his actions will harm the interests of the imperial court.
What's more, if she doesn't do it, there are many people in Haizhou who do it secretly.
"If the imperial court does nothing in Haizhou, there is only so much we can do, especially..."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Feng Xujie beside her and said to Shopkeeper Liang: "My brother's family has a fleet. If we can make sea salt, we can transport it through the fleet and sell it."
"Even if we don't sell it domestically, several small neighboring countries still need salt." Zhou Yunshu looked at Shopkeeper Liang and said seriously: "From the moment you decided to join us, I wanted to hand over this business to you."
"Of course, this is just my own wishful thinking. If you don't want to..."
Before Zhou Yunshu could finish speaking, shopkeeper Liang immediately said: "I do, Mr. Zhou, I do!"
How could he not want to!
With such a prosperous opportunity in front of him, he couldn't let it slip away from his hands.
Gan!
If you go against the government, go against the government. Anyway, as Zhou Yunshu said, Haizhou is so big, and their sea salt production workshop is hidden, so it will definitely not be easy to find.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the tempted Shopkeeper Liang and raised the corner of her mouth. Sometimes she disagreed just because the temptation was not big enough.
"Mazi, where are you?" Huzi asked, standing behind Zhou Yunshu.
"Of course I will go wherever your husband goes." Even if there was no Haiyan, he would still have to follow Zhou Yunshu.
Du Mazi knew that he was stupid and had no ideas, but he knew who to follow would be good for him.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Zhou Yunshu said, "You go and have a rest first, and I'll help you catch the wind and wash away the dust in the evening."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou."
Shopkeeper Liang and Du Mazi were led by Feng Xujie to Yunlai Inn to check in. Zhou Yunshu glanced at the figure behind the window of the west wing.
Shopkeeper Liang was moved, but he didn't know if Uncle He was moved.
When Feng Xujie came back from Yunlai Inn, he brought a twelve-year-old maid with him.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the clothes on the little maid and guessed that she was sent by Du Huairou.
Feng Xujie took the little maid to Zhou Yunshu's room and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the anxious little maid in front of her and asked with a smile: "You are looking for me."
"It was our cousin who asked me to send you a message."
"you say."
"Our eldest son came back with Eunuch Cao, who came from the capital. There was no one else around."
