Chapter 195 Agree
Bai Zhao and his companions traveled quickly all the way and finally arrived at Nanzhen in the evening.
Most of their team members are young and strong, and they act very quickly.
"Jingzhi, where are you?"
When we arrived at Nanzhen, the carriage slowed down.
Bai Zhao first sent a message to ask for the address, then got off the carriage and found a place where he would not get in the way to vomit.
His actions attracted everyone to look at him.
Wei Liu pulled the reins, looked at the back of Bai Zhao's head, and cursed softly, "Waste!"
Everyone didn't know where Bai Jingzhi and the others were, so they could only wait for Bai Zhao.
Bai Zhao stood up and pounded his waist with his right hand, "Sixth Uncle, my bones are about to fall apart!"
"Okay, it's not as good as Hongmian!" Wei Liu rolled his eyes, "Where are Jingzhi and the others?"
"They're at the dock! Go north on this road, turn right twice, and go through the alley. They're at the very end."
After Bai Zhao finished speaking, he entered the carriage again.
He took out the thermos cup from the space villa and immediately sent a message to Bai Jingzhi, "Daughter, what should we do with our horses, cattle, and wooden vehicles?"
These things are worth a lot of money, and these cows will be useful when we get to Wujiyuan.
Having cows during spring plowing can save a lot of effort.
After all, they didn't know what was happening in Wujiyuan today.
It is not easy to add cattle and horses without any human habitation.
Bai Zhao was reluctant to throw these things away. When his daughter came here, she came up with one clever idea after another. Even he, who was used to big scenes, had to admit defeat.
"The boat is big enough to hold these things." Bai Jingzhi's words were concise and to the point, without a single superfluous word.
She was now listening to Yu Er Niang's introduction to the ship, and she was following along on the tour.
Unlike her previous calm cruise experiences, this time she was very excited.
She had only seen the appearance of the ancient ship in books, and this was the first time she saw the real thing.
If Bai Zhao came and saw it, he would definitely be very happy.
When they emptied the secret room in Liu County before, her father was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
In his eyes, those things are antiques.
They also have ornaments made of ancient ship wood.
“Miss Bai, Miss Bai~” Yu Erniang called out several times when she saw that she didn’t speak, “You can temporarily leave the wounds of horses and cattle here. Once the ship reaches the shore, we can clean them up.”
Yu Erniang took Bai Jingzhi to the bottom floor and said, "When we go out to sea, we usually put the goods on this floor, and the upper floors are where we live."
Bai Jingzhi just nodded and suddenly asked, "What is the name of this river?"
"Shilanjiang."
Yu Erniang didn't know what she meant, but she answered truthfully.
"On the way, I noticed that the drought near Jucheng was not serious. Why are the people here lacking food and clothing?"
Bai Jingzhi came all the way from the south. In her impression, Liu County was the one that suffered the most.
Prince Li is indeed worthy of being the most favored prince ever, and his territory is vast and rich.
In addition to Liu County, there are some other counties like Jucheng, Huaicheng, etc., where the drought is not as serious as that in Liu County.
These counties were simply hit by drought, resulting in a slight reduction in grain production.
The ground in Liu County was so dry and cracked that there were still so much grain.
She now suspected that there was a shortage of food in Jucheng, and there must be something unknown hidden behind it.
Yu Erniang didn't rush to answer just now. She thought for a while before explaining, "It's not far from Jucheng. There are troops stationed there. They were suppressing bandits some time ago, and the county magistrate collected a lot of food from the civilians."
"You've increased taxes for no reason, and your people have no one to resist? If the bandit problem is not resolved, won't they keep asking you for things?"
Bai Jingzhi figured out the trick after a brief thought.
Only these common people were foolishly deceived, while those people lived a carefree and comfortable life.
Yu Erniang nodded, "Of course. Some poor families have nothing to eat and are living worse than refugees."
These wealthy people were also blackmailed by those people.
Otherwise, her father would not have taken the risk this time, sailing farther out to sea and bringing back more things.
As a result, when the boat was about to enter the river from the sea, it encountered a shipwreck and sank.
Less than one-tenth of those on board were saved.
Yu Erniang was a little angry when she thought of this. "As you said, many wealthy families in the city have fled from Jucheng. It's not surprising."
The Yu family lived not far from Jucheng and was also exploited by these people.
In addition to selling some rare items, they also had another purpose for going out to sea this time.
They didn't want to live in Nanzhen and wanted to move their whole family, preferably to an island.
The Yu family deals with boats and water and makes a living from this.
If they could find a place far away from Dazhuang Dynasty during this voyage, her father would like to move the whole family there.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone with him.
Yu Erniang's face turned dark when she recalled that after Master Yu passed away, the Yu family's property was taken away by a concubine.
"Second Miss, it's bad! That concubine is coming towards the dock with her men."
A maid came in hurriedly. "Someone from the mansion came to report that our concubine knew we were selling the boat and someone wanted to buy it, so she came with the Yu family's relatives. She threatened to break your legs and take back the boat."
"Humph! He thinks they can stop me?" Yu Erniang sneered, "What a joke, how dare an old lady follow an old man to the sea to seek wealth without any skills?"
After Yu Erniang finished speaking, she took the meteor dart and went ashore to wait for people.
"Miss Yu, please be patient. Our people are coming soon. Why don't we leave as soon as possible? It won't be too late to come back for revenge later."
Bai Jingzhi didn't want to create any more trouble. If they got entangled with the Yu family again, they would not be able to leave.
She also realized that Yu Erniang was a capable person and did not like to suffer losses.
"Instead of causing trouble for me, it is better to bury the old man properly." Yu Erniang was only temporarily angry about her own father's arrangement. She did not expect that a concubine would suddenly appear.
The elders of the Yu family all supported that person and actually came to cause trouble for her.
She now sees through it all. All those relatives who were nice to you in the past were fake.
"The things on the carriage have been almost moved. Once my people arrive, we will leave."
Bai Jingzhi said it again.
In her opinion, now is not the time for conflict, there is still a long way to go.
"I just can't swallow this! How can I have a share in the Yu family's fortune? I made the greatest contribution to the previous voyage, otherwise how could the Yu family have so much wealth?"
Yu Erniang didn't reveal much, but Bai Jingzhi guessed a little. "Since ancient times, people have looked down on us women, so we must fight for our reputation. If we make a name for ourselves, they will have no choice but to bow down to us."
"Can we make a name for ourselves?" Yu Erniang sounded uncertain.
"Don't fight for a moment or a night, everything depends on human efforts." Bai Jingzhi smiled confidently.
This smile infected Yu Erniang, "Okay, I'll swallow this breath."
