Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 299, Dock Robbery

Even if there was no such troublemaker as Princess Jing'an, Qi Xunfu would not dare to delay returning home. In such a dynasty, most of them live together with clans. When selling a house or land, the first consideration is the clan, neighbors and local people in the village.

A piece of land is a lifelong reliance, and few people will move around after they have land, unless natural disasters make them unable to survive.

If you sell it casually to outsiders, if you are a bad person, it will bring a lifetime of disaster to the neighbor. If the neighbor knows the truth before the contract is formed, he can go to the yamen to sue to stop it.

A piece of Susukida in Qi Xunfu's family was first sold to his own family, and two houses were sold to neighbors, and his family business was thus settled.

Both he and Qi Jun's family are poor, and the crops in the fields are far from enough to live on, otherwise they would not work under Qi Dong's subordinates, otherwise they would not agree to go to Beijing with Yan Yan.

When people really have no choice, they can only move.

The buyer is an acquaintance, and the processing was completed within one day, and Qi Jun’s family property was processed in another day. The two families temporarily rented at Qi Dong’s house in Xinji Town, and Qi Xunfu started to buy goods. Fortunately, he was familiar with Xinji, and it was completed in three days. On board the ship, Qi Xi and He Feng sent them to the pier, exhorting and exhorting, telling them to bring the words to the children in Beijing. The cargo of [-] yuan was included in a large ship. Qi Xunfu stood on the bow of the ship and waved his hands in the north wind, feeling the joy of life. Proud, start here.

Escorts were invited, and it was in November, and people returning home for the New Year began to go on the road, which meant that there were more robbers, so we should not be careless about safety.

Qi Xunfu sat back in the cabin, watching his youngest son look left and right in his wife's arms, looking at the novelty, the two bodyguards on the bow were gesticulating and talking, and their pride was strong, he believed that sister Xiu, Yanyan and Lv Zhudong's shops will open all over the world, and following these bosses, he will become the shopkeeper of a larger shop.

Be careful along the way. When he saw the wharf outside Beijing, Qi Xunfu let go of his worries. The cargo ship is relatively large, and it can only stop when it comes out of the wharf. Qi Xunfu waited and saw two big ships blowing out. , cheered: "Whose merchant ship is this, magnificent."

Standing on the two big boats were Hou Ping and Yunfei respectively. This was Yun Zhan's annual gift to his father-in-law in the northwest. If they didn't go on the road, the weather in the northwest would be cold and the river would freeze.

There are some places in the canal against the wind, but the overall speed is faster than the land. The boat is about [-] miles away from the original important town. The river is so fast that manpower is needed to pull the fiber. There were bursts of white waves.

To change ships here, as long as the boatmanship is good, in the middle of the river at the junction, the two ships will use the springboard to move the cargo to the medium-sized ship, otherwise the narrow river channel will not pass.

Choose a place far away from the rapids to change ships, the gangway is shaking and not ordinary people dare to go, most of the merchant ships are moved by local boatmen, Hou Ping and Yunfei brought out the government soldiers, they moved the goods and changed ships by themselves, and carried the carriage. Leading the horse to change the boat, the local boatman did not earn any extra money, so he also applauded: "The guys are not bad at their workmanship, and this horse is also very handsome."

Hou Ping curled his lips, feeling somewhat complacent.Several families of military generals in Beijing, the Mansion of the Duke of Huguo, the Mansion of the Marquis of Jiyang, the Mansion of the Viscount of Yuhai, and several other families of Dukes and Marquises, etc., although they have lived in the capital for a long time, their children will go to the border towns to serve when they grow up. However, when the border towns needed reinforcements, it was never ambiguous for Beijing to send out reinforcements.

The current Lord Protector has visited the battlefield several times in his life to command operations. His soldiers have experienced the rain of guns and arrows, and they have also experienced various difficulties when training horses.

The 110 carts are the same as last time, ten carts are weapons on the road of Hou Pingren, and one hundred and one carts are annual gifts. If someone looks carefully, where is the dry food they ate on the road?
Carry dry food and dried meat with you, and when you encounter places where you can replenish it, such as passing through the market town outside Lanyuan City later, you can replenish food on the spot.

The other cart is the filial piety of Yanyan, Luzhu, and Yuanhui. This trip is 110 carts in total. Each cart has two long marching horses. multiple horses.

There are only a few dozen horses on board, and they are ready to be used when they need to mount the horses to fight halfway. The rest of the horses will be set off by other family members first, and rush to Lanyuan by land. Now they are waiting at the wharf outside the city of Lanyuan. This batch of dry food and water are ready , and when Hou Ping returned to Lanyuan City after delivering the New Year gift, there were market towns everywhere to replenish food and water.

There is no weapon, otherwise he will be detained by the people of Pingxi County King after interrogation.

The [-] government soldiers brought by Hou Ping and Yunfei did not have a special vehicle for dry food, and ten vehicles for weapons were carried by Hou Ping. If you don't want to let it go, you can use the official document to suppress it and let it go.

Rao didn't bring all the horses, this is also a large group of medium-sized merchant ships. When they arrived at the wharf outside Lanyuan City, there were applause among the people watching, which alarmed the soldiers on duty at the wharf today. He walked out of the room and looked at the docks for miles around: "What's the matter?"

"It's a big fleet, with carts and horses, speaking official language," a soldier replied.

Mandarin?

Wang Ergou regained his energy, opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be that the convoy to Guxi is coming again?" His mouth was drooling more.

Zhang Liang, Hua Tianyu's lieutenant general in Guxi, is his fellow villager. The two grew up playing in the same village. Liang and Wang Ergou sat down and boasted, there is an old man in Guxi, he is a good man, so good, I brought it, I brought it, Wang Ergou joked that he sat here alone, did not see When you brought the old Yuan Da alive, Zhang Liang took out a shriveled sheepskin wine bag, and gave it to Wang Ergou with heartache: "There are still a few sips, you can only take one sip."

That wine is really beautiful, Wang Ergou has never drank it before, and even if he thinks about it, he can't imagine that the wine can be so delicious.

Zhang Liang was careless, and Wang Ergou was a bit scheming, and asked Lao Yuan's son-in-law to pass by the pier to give a gift. Wang Ergou was careful at the time, whether to give this year's gift or not?If you send it back and never disembark from the pier?
If you go by land, Wang Ergou doesn't have any ideas. He is only on duty at the pier this year.

Careless Zhang Liang said that he didn't know the door. He said that Lao Yuan's son-in-law was from Beijing, and it would be quicker to save money by taking the canal.

Wang Ergou kept it in his heart.

Hearing the official language, Wang Ergou slapped his head: "Call Qi brothers, give me some posture, let's take a look."

A noisy group of people came, Hou Ping had been prepared, and Yun Fei each took out a handful of silver, one for Wang Ergou and the other for the rest of the soldiers, Dui laughed and said: "Everyone has worked hard, this big Even in cold weather, we come out to check, and we are also doing routine work, haha."

Wang Ergou blocked the silver, his eyeballs swished, and he only focused on one thing: "Is this something for Master Gu Xi Yuanyuan?"
