Pang Yang was confused, "Miss Third, what's wrong with Pang Yang?"
Gingo shook his head suddenly, "No!"
This matter has always been a question in Pang Yang's heart, so much so that when he continued to set off three days later, he was thinking about it all the way.
Most of the people following him this time were either uninjured or not seriously injured. The others stayed in the city to recuperate. After recovering from their injuries, they would return to the Bai family in Kyoto.
When leaving the city, Bie Xia kept her head down, not daring to look outside.
Pang Yan asked softly: "Soldiers are different from ordinary guards. Does the county master leave a few people to deal with the aftermath?"
Bai Guo turned a page in the book in his hand and said, "No, they said yesterday that someone will take care of it."
Pang Yan immediately thought of those people talking about bandits.
Naturally, the bandits will not come to this road, and that can only be blamed on the bandits.
On the surface, it was over like this, but as for the person who attacked them...
Pang Yan glanced at Ging Guo who was very indifferent.
This is not afraid of direct confrontation.
In a few days, Bai Guo finished reading the book in his hand.
On this day, the waterway also began to be changed. The waterway in Yining Prefecture was very developed, and large ships were densely occupying positions on the dock.
Choosing a large ship with three floors, Ging Guo directly chartered the entire ship.
The guards began to carry the guests' gifts onto the ship, and Gingguo wandered around the dock for half a day.
This waterway is developed, and each ship is bigger than the last.
Different from the flower boats seen in Kyoto, the boats here are sturdy and can transport a lot of things.
Bie Xia looked at Ging Guo and looked at all the ships one by one, and couldn't help but feel curious.
What's so cool about this?
"Ask where there are shipbuilders around here." Bai Guo saw a ship with more planks than other ships and a deeper draft than other ships. "Ask who built this ship."
The draft has a great relationship with the speed and seaworthiness of the ship.
The greater the draft, the lower the center of gravity of the ship, the higher the stability, and the smaller the impact of wind and waves on the ship.
That is to say, the ship is not prone to swaying, or the swaying amplitude is very small.
However, at the same time, the resistance of the water to the ship will increase, and the ship's speed will decrease.
In her last life, she often came to Kyoto and Fengzhou, so she naturally understood these basic knowledge.
Bie Xia glanced at it, quickly approached the ship, and inquired.
Pang Yang found that he couldn't understand Ging Guo's actions more and more in the past few days, but when he thought that he was about to leave Ging Guo's side, Pang Yang couldn't ask anything.
Bie Xia came back soon, "County Master, they said they built the boat themselves, but do they want a slave to bring them over?"
Bai Guo shook his head and turned back to Pang Yang: "Brother Pang Yang, go ahead and book a big boat with them. It's three times bigger than theirs. It also needs to have deep water, but it can't be stranded at low tide after it's filled with cargo."
With her outfit, she looked like she was being taken advantage of and easily deceived.
Pang Yang is not easy to mess with. The people these people come into contact with here are from all walks of life, and they will never fail to see this.
Pang Yang nodded immediately and walked over there.
Bie Xia quietly stood back behind Ging Guo.
Gingguo looked at the ships in other places and took a fancy to a light ship. Just by looking at it, he knew that this ship was not used to carry cargo.
"Go and ask what that boat is used for." Yu Die immediately understood what Bai Guo was looking at and turned around to leave.
Pang Yan watched Bai Guo arrange things very naturally, and everyone around her immediately understood what she meant and secretly began to pay attention.
"Third Miss, I found out that the boat is used for fishing. It goes out twice a day. Go back quickly. You will never stay on this wide river for a long time."
Yu Die came back and replied in a low voice: "This boat is the fastest, but its balance is not good. The cost is lower than other boats, and the time is very short. There are many such boats on the river, most of them are rich and powerful. You can rent it if you need it to deliver important news."
Bai Guo nodded, happy that he had saved some money.
"Third Miss, it will take one and a half years and two hundred thousand dollars to build the ship." Pang Yang had been frowning since he came back. Bai Guo understood instantly after hearing this.
Two hundred thousand guan is two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount.
Bai Guo signaled Yu Die to pay, then nodded and said, "Order one. Boats with such a draft on this river are rarely rented, and it is extremely inconvenient for us to use them."
Yu Die went back to withdraw the money very quietly.
Pang Yang glanced at such a wide river and asked puzzledly: "Why did the third lady spend so much money to order such a big boat?"
Ginkgo's eyes were a little wanton, "It has its own uses."
Yu Die quickly returned and took out twenty 5,000-tael silver notes and handed them to Pang Yang, which was a deposit.
"Discuss with them and try to do it as quickly as possible. If it is completed within a year and I am satisfied, I will add another fifty thousand taels."
With the support of the old lady, Gingguo is now wealthy.
Pang Yang took the order and turned around to leave.
Bai Guo didn't look back, but suddenly said: "From now on, you are not allowed to mention anything you see and hear to others. If you can't control your mouth, I will make sure you never have to speak again."
Pang Yan was startled by these words, and just as she was about to express her loyalty, she heard Bie Xia and Yu Die next to her just replying seriously: "I accept my order!"
Pang Yan immediately followed, "Slave, take your orders!"
Pang Yan understood a little bit.
This one doesn't care what you say, she just wants you to do it.
As long as you follow her words, you'll be fine, but if you try to provoke her, don't expect that your hard work can save you.
When Pang Yang came back, he handed a piece of paper to Yu Die. Yu Die read it carefully and put it away carefully.
This paper will be used to pick up the boat when the time comes.
After the boat was settled, Bai Guo took the people back to the boat he rented.
The Dark Guard and Deadpool also boarded the ship.
Bie Xia and Yu Die sat there once when they followed Ginkgo back to Kyoto to pick from Fengzhou, so it was not surprising.
Pang Yan behind her couldn't help but look outside as the boat started, her eyes shining brightly.
This place is located in the south, and the rivers in the south do not freeze. However, Jinning Prefecture is in the north, and there are few rivers that can carry large ships.
"You can go out and take a look if you want." Bie Xia glanced outside and said, "The county master rarely needs anyone to serve him, and when he is reading, he will not move for a long time."
Pang Yan shook her head hastily, "No, no."
Looking at Pang Yan's expression, Bie Xia knew that this person thought she was trying to instruct her to make a mistake, so she immediately stopped talking and began to consolidate her previous recognition of words in detail, and occasionally asked Yu Die next to her.
Yu Die's current progress has far exceeded hers. In the words of the county leader, Yu Die can now enlighten children.
After arriving in Guwu County, Fengzhou, Baiguo did not go directly to her second uncle's house. Instead, she opened a room in an inn and repaired it for a day before arriving the next day.
"Second Aunt has been looking forward to it for several days, why did it only arrive today?"
He Mei received the news that Bai Guo was coming to congratulate her on her birthday before she even left Kyoto. She calculated that it would be a few days earlier than this.
"But what dangers did we encounter on the road?" He Mei felt a little uneasy when she saw that Bai Guo's face was covered with a veil and the guards following behind her all had scars.
Bai Guo held He Mei's hand comfortingly, "Second aunt is worrying too much. My niece just saw the pleasant scenery on the road, so she walked a little slower."
How could He Mei not see that these were just words of comfort? Seeing that Bai Guo didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Cousin Minghong, cousin Mingshao, cousin Mingzheng." Bai Guo watched the three people behind He Mei recognize each other one by one.
"Cousin!" Bai Mingzheng ran directly from behind He Mei, but the short man was holding Gingo's sleeve tightly, "Cousin, why did you come back?! Where have you been?"
Bai Mingzheng has had ginkgo since he was born. When he reaches this age, he has never seen the ginkgo for more than three days.
And Ginkgo was gone for nearly a year because of the selection, which really made Bai Mingzheng cry miserably.
To Bai Mingzheng, he called her cousin, but he regarded Ging Guo as his biological sister.
Bai Guo quickly touched Bai Mingzheng's head and said, "Mingzheng, be good. My cousin has gone to meet my cousin's parents. How about I come back to celebrate your birthday this time?"
Bai Mingzheng's birthday falls on August 15th.
Children are easy to coax. When Bai Guo said this, he immediately forgot about his grievances. His round eyes were shining and he asked: "What birthday gift did my cousin prepare for me? I want to see it!"
Bai Guo flicked Bai Mingzheng's forehead, "Of course the birthday gift should be given on the day of your birthday. If you do this, my cousin will give it to you after your birthday."
Bai Mingzheng just followed this trick, his round eyes showed his anxiety, "I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it, cousin, you have to give it to me on my birthday."
Bai Guo smiled and rubbed Bai Mingzheng's head, "But my cousin has prepared a meeting gift for you, so I can give this to you first."
Bai Mingzheng blinked his round little eyes and almost ran around the yard twice with joy, "They also said that my cousin doesn't like me anymore when she comes back. They lied! My cousin is the closest to me!"
The raised little breasts reveal pride.
Just hearing this, He Mei frowned.
She knew about Ginkgo's condition, and it made her heartache to hear that she couldn't be raised by her parents for ten years.
She has been taking care of Ging Guo as her own daughter these years, and she would never say such things to her youngest son.
"Then Mingzheng told cousin who said it." Bai Guo touched the child's head.
Children of this age are thinking about things. They miss her after not seeing her for almost a year. If she behaves a little coldly today, there is no guarantee that the children will not think too much and secretly shed tears behind her back.
"I told my cousin, it's Sister Mingshu and Bie Ye next to her. My cousin wants my mother to teach them a lesson. They are whispering bad things about you!"
Bai Mingzheng betrayed Bai Mingshu completely, "They said that my cousin was like a pheasant that flew up to the Jinshan Mountain. Her position as county leader was lowered by her. They also said that the emperor's eyes..."
blind.
Ging Guo covered Bai Mingzheng's mouth.
Bai Mingzheng blinked his eyes and put his two small hands on the back of Bai Guo's hand covering his mouth. He was a little confused, but he obediently let Bai Guo cover his mouth and continued talking without pulling or making a fuss.
He Mei's face almost turned pale with fright. Seeing Bai Guo's quick reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to the nanny behind her: "Take the county lord's people in to rest."
Grandma immediately responded and asked the servant to take the guards and others to the front yard. She took the servants and things that Ging Guo had brought into Ging Guo's yard in the backyard.
"Good boy, cousin knows they are talking bad things about cousin. Ming Zheng wants to see the gift, so we can't say any more." Bai Guo and Bai Ming Zheng confirmed, Bai Ming Zheng nodded hurriedly, and then Bai Guo let go of his hand.
Fengzhou is far away from Kyoto and usually does not have much restraint.
If you talk about these things in private, it will be fine as long as they don't spread.
