Prime Minister Xu spurted out a mouthful of tea when he received the letter from Xu Yin's escort agency.
Before he left Beijing, his married daughter had made clear arrangements for his life after he retired and returned to his hometown.
After the prime minister's wife learned about it, she looked at him with a half-smile:
"Master, isn't your ex-son worried about not being able to help his daughter and son-in-law? Isn't an opportunity coming to your door?"
"..."
We are an old married couple, can we not be so damaging?
No matter how you say it, if you don't kiss your married daughter, she is still your biological daughter.
Although he once wanted to stuff the person back into Liu's belly and give birth again, he could only think about it.
What's more, she married King Jinnan. From then on, both prospered and suffered losses. The fates of the Xu family and Prince Jinnan's palace were already tied together when the four girls got married.
Since the seeds have been prepared for him and sent to his hometown in the north of Furong County by the escort agency, what are he waiting for!
After Prime Minister Xu finished complaining, he waved his hand: "Pack up and return home someday!"
After everyone in Xu's house had packed up and embarked on the journey back home, Xu Yin finally built a high-power engine suitable for long-distance transport of armored vehicles according to the drawings obtained with 9999 energy points.
After the blacksmith at the mine made all the parts she needed, Yan Kejin picked a few trustworthy people and took them to start welding the car together.
In addition to the armored vehicle, they also assembled a bump-proof recreational vehicle that looks just like an ordinary carriage, but actually has something inside.
When the finished armored vehicle components came out, the eyes of the guards who were responsible for it suddenly lit up.
Is this the armored vehicle that the prince said is much more useful than a carriage? It’s really hard and strong!
Xu Yin called them to get in the car and taught them how to start the car and how to control the steering wheel. Their eyes became brighter.
Good guy! Not only is it invulnerable, but it also runs extremely fast.
If we had this thing on the battlefield, would we still worry about not being able to win the battle? A real crush!
Xu Yin certainly knew that the intervention of hot weapons meant the end of the era of cold weapons.
"But I hope more that countries can coexist peacefully. War is only a means to defend the country, not an end."
She looked at Yan Kejin seriously and said:
"The reason why the Tatars invaded Yanhua was not because they wanted to fight, but more because of the lack of supplies. The climate in the north is very cold. If you don't store enough supplies in the summer, you will have to wait for death in the winter. Either way, you will die, so it is better to risk attacking the city. I Guess this is the reason why they come to invade Yanhua every year in autumn. If we bring over cold-resistant high-yielding grain varieties, bring Yanhua's abundant supplies, and make deals with them, let them have houses like us. They can be sheltered from the wind and snow, have food and clothing, and can withstand cold and hunger. Do you think they will still be willing to fight? Are they still willing to make endless sacrifices?"
Yan Kejin was thoughtful, pondered for a moment and said:
"The princess is right. All along, we only know how to take precautions, but we don't know their purpose of invading our country again and again. This time, I will personally go to negotiate with them outside the customs. Can we do it without spending a single soldier? It is naturally best for the soldiers to defend Yanguan. If the opponent insists on attacking the city and is unwilling to negotiate for peace, it will not be too late to use force to suppress it."
That’s right!
There is no point in fighting, why not make money together to support the family.
Considering that the demand for materials inside and outside the customs will not be small, Xu Yin simply opened up the purchase, regardless of the variety and quantity, and collected as much as possible.
Any mountain products, medicinal materials, wild fruits, game... collect them all!
Those that are resistant to aging are packed directly and sent to the escort agency for transportation. Those that are not resistant to aging, such as wild fruits and game, are first taken to the workshop to be made into jam and meat sauce before being shipped.
As a result, the people of Nanman were very happy. Not only the output of the fields and the chickens and ducks raised could be sold for money, but also the wild fruits picked, the medicinal materials found, and the game hunted... This money is very good. Make money!
Carloads of purchased materials were transported to Yanguan first.
After more than half a year of development, the wealthy Jinnan Palace has set up many escort bureau branches along the main roads in Yanhua County, and each section is transported by the escort bureau within its jurisdiction.
The advantage of this is that it will not make escorts travel long distances and be overtired, and it will also stimulate the labor market in various places.
In case the dart is lost due to frequent changes of hands, Xu Yin also made a cipher paper. The person guarding the dart will check it with the cipher paper and then change hands. Each time the dart changes hands, both parties need to sign and sign. If there is any mistake, both parties will be jointly and severally responsible. .
In this way, people in the two branches are particularly careful when delivering the goods when the dart changes hands. Once the dart is lost, they will not only lose their jobs, but may also lose their entire fortune.
After joining the Weinan Escort Agency and enjoying the benefits of high wages, high benefits, and a few days of recuperation leave every year, who would be willing to settle for other jobs? Naturally, he sticks to his position diligently.
When Xu Yin and his party set off from Nanman, the first group of people to follow the escort car had arrived at Yanguan one step ahead of schedule and purchased a good house, and quietly put away the supplies shipped by the escort agency.
The soldiers stationed at Yanguan saw convoys from the escort agency bringing things in every three days.
After many items arrived, they were directly taken to market stalls for sale. In addition to jams, meat sauces, canned fruits and other shelf-stable foods, there were also brown sugar, white sugar and soy sauce that were scarce on the market. People rushed to sell out and were immediately curious.
Send someone to find out which master's mansion it belongs to, and the business of its disciples has reached Yanguan?
No wonder they guessed like this. If there was no one on top, who would dare to transport the goods all the way from the south to the north for sale? Aren't you afraid of being robbed on the way?
In other words, only the royal merchants or those with the support of the royal family dare to do this.
When they inquired about it, the soldiers were shocked.
What? Is this King Jinnan’s business?
That's right?
Your majesty, why are you still in business as a peddler? Could it be that life in Nanman is really that difficult? Even the owner of the fief cannot survive and has to come out to make a living?
Asked again, what? King Jinnan was named a mighty general by the Holy One? He also has 100,000 troops to garrison Yan Pass?
It is said that King Jinnan was worried about the lack of food for the border officers and soldiers, so he hired people to transport these southern barbarian specialties to enrich the border supplies.
No wonder these things taste good and are not expensive.
They have also saved a lot of money over the years, and it is not affordable to buy some to try every now and then.
Sugar and soy sauce are the most popular.
Especially the soy sauce, I couldn't even see it before, so how could I have the chance to buy it for cooking.
It is said that the ones sold in Jingzhong are much more expensive than this, and I was immediately moved to tears. I vowed to follow King Jinnan... no, General Mighty!
The Tatars outside the Pass disguised themselves as common people inside the Pass and sneaked into the city to spy. What did they see?
Salt!
sugar! !
soy sauce! ! !
There are also canned fruits, canned meat, canned seafood made of containers made of glazed gemstones...
His grandpa’s, this is too cheap! ! !
