Chapter 77 Baihua County

The tavern is always a good place to inquire about news.

It's just that the shopkeeper heard that Ren Ning and others had entered his place, so he hurried over respectfully and politely invited them to the private room upstairs.

I couldn't hear any news from myself.

However, there was a waiter in the private seat, so Ren Ning asked.

Xiao Er knows everything.

All in all, just after the new year, everything is renewed, and the whole Yunchui is busy with the new year's spring plowing, and nothing too novel happened.

But if it is true that all is well, that is not always the case.

For example, an epidemic occurred in Yunzhong County in the southwest, and the scale seems to be quite scary.Even a small, sparsely populated county like Misty Fog dispatched doctors to the southwest to help.

Another example is that the first month has not yet come out, and several small countries in the south attacked Yunchui together and broke into Baihua County.A fire burned hundreds of thousands of acres of medicine fields.

boom!
Someone punched the table angrily.

"What a shame! What are the defenders in the south doing? Tangtang Yunchui actually let those little bugs in again."

"Hundreds of thousands of acres of medicinal fields were burned, no wonder our fortress is so short of medicinal materials."

Ren Ning didn't make a sound, just pressed the table intentionally or unintentionally.

Baihua County, as the name suggests, is a place where hundreds of flowers bloom.

It is a large county in the south of Yunchui Empire.Because the climate is hot all year round, plants grow rapidly, and brilliant flowers can be seen all year round.

If we say that Pingxi County, where the Yanfeng Fortress is located, the specialty is the underground Panlong Stone.Because the misty county in front of me does not see the sun all year round, the specialty is white and tender beauties.The specialty of Baihua County is the ubiquitous flowers and herbs.

Together with Canglan County to the south, it is the two major medicine warehouses of the Yunchui Empire.

In the parking spot, the master and servant of the Gu family were eating and talking about the two big pharmacies of the empire.

"Girl, the old slave followed your grandfather to run a business in the early years, and has a few acquaintances in Canglan County."

"Perhaps we can go to the south to buy a batch of medicinal materials, and go back to the east to buy some dried fish. In this way, whether it is sent to the north or bypassed Misty County to the west, it will be a good business route."

"It's okay to talk about fish." Gu Shengnan shook his head, "As for the medicinal materials, I don't need it."

"Although it is not as exaggerated as salt and iron, it is not something that ordinary caravans can touch."

"We are not familiar with the situation in the Northland, and I heard that it is not peaceful. Now there is an epidemic in the southwest, there is already a war in the south, and a war is about to be fought in the west. These all need medicinal materials to save people. Therefore, it is even more untouchable. If you are forced by the court on the road Go, there is no place to cry."

"That's true, the old slave was negligent." Gu Fugui nodded, frowning so much that he could kill mosquitoes.

Gu Shengnan smiled and comforted him, "Housekeeper, don't worry too much. You should eat and sleep. Our Gu family has been walking the east-west line from the clouds to Xiliang for decades, and there is no one behind it."

"After the goods in your hand are delivered and sold, you, housekeeper, continue to prepare materials for going west as before. My God, I will go to visit Uncle Zhongyong's mansion."

"As long as they speak out, Miwu and Laigu are just two low-level small counties. They may be embarrassed when passing by, and they dare not really detain us."

"I hope so." Gu Fugui's brows relaxed a bit.

"Let's eat. It will be fine after leaving the Misty County in two days." Gu Shengnan said, the meat in his mouth was a bit tasteless.

After leaving Misty County, we have already passed the three most difficult and dangerous counties on the East-West Line. Although the road ahead may not be smooth sailing, at least there is no need to worry about it.

The most important thing is that the team behind sending the spirits back to their hometown can turn to the south.

The Gu family was just an ordinary caravan, and Gu Shengnan's heart couldn't bear to go all the way with them.

In the restaurant, Ren Ning and the others were also talking about the road ahead.

Lei Er took a sip of his wine and frowned instantly.

"Fuck, is this wine? It's bland and tasteless, it's clearly water."

"Xiaoer!" He called the shopkeeper.

"Forget it. It's free anyway." Someone next to him haha ​​stopped him, "Misty County doesn't have much food to make wine, so it's good to drink if you have it."

"That's right," the others nodded in support, "I don't dare to drink more than two sips of water in the fortress."

Lei Er didn't hum.

He glanced at Ren Ning, "Old Ren, don't worry."

"Didn't Xiao Er say that the imperial court has dispatched doctors from various counties to Xingluo County? A small epidemic will be brought under control soon."

Ren Ning nodded.

He wasn't too worried about Xingluo County.

That was the land of Longxing in Yunchui, and almost all the ruling class of the empire came from Xingluo County.Every Qingming, Hanshi and Chongyang, including the royal family, will send people back to Xingluo to worship their ancestors.

The ancients were superstitious, and it was a big taboo if the land of Longxing was infected with the epidemic.If the situation is out of control, it is estimated that even the Holy Majesty will have to punish him.

So no matter what, even if all the doctors in Yunchui were mobilized to help.The imperial capital will give priority to ensuring that Xingluo County is safe and sound.

Others didn't know what Ren Ning was thinking, and raised their glasses one after another.

"Drink, everyone!" In the booth, a soldier from Yunzhong County raised a cup and stuffed something into his mouth.

"It is said that life and death are determined by fate and wealth. It is useless to think too much."

"When I first joined the army, I just left the fortress to fight the Xiliang people. I was always worried about this and that, and worried about being injured and worried about not being able to return. Later, after fighting many battles, I found that my brothers were not afraid of death and rushed forward. Will die. Only someone who shrinks his head and thinks about retreating to protect himself will really die. Even if the enemy and the supervisor don't cut him down, I will kill him."

"This place is still far from Yunzhong County, so there is no need for you to worry. Besides, no matter how worried we are, we won't be able to help you, so let it go."

Everyone looked at each other and raised their glasses in unison: "Drink!"

Although he said he was not worried, how could he not be worried in his heart.

It is precisely because the soldiers miss their homes that they travel thousands of miles to go home on vacation to visit relatives.

It's just that the epidemic is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be touched, but it is extremely lethal.Often one person is infected, and the whole village or family suffers.It is much more difficult to deal with than the enemy army in the southern border of Xiliang.There's nothing they can do if they worry.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, the Big Three in Misty County were wearing dew and waiting outside the convoy with a group of people.

The county guard and the county lieutenant guard one side, but without the emperor's order, it is even more difficult for them to leave the county.The security commander who sent the soul back to his hometown may be nameless, but he may enter the palace to face the saint.

Although the chances are not high, Fan Gaopeng and others dare not be lighthearted.

If this kid doesn't open his mouth to talk nonsense, they may be in trouble.

Seeing the caravan wake up, Fan Gaopeng hastily returned all the city entry tax that was overcharged yesterday to the Gu family caravan, and stuffed some into Ren Ning's hands.

The three talked a lot and made repeated guarantees.What impartial law enforcement will never allow the scum of the common people to exist again.

Ren Ning nodded and stopped thinking about it.

After packing up, almost all the people in the city came to see him off, and the convoy headed east again amidst blessings.

Compared to the west, the post road east of Wuliang City is much easier to walk.There are only a few places where heavy vehicles need to be towed, and most other places can pass smoothly.

Two days later, the sky ahead was a long-lost blue, which made everyone feel refreshed.

According to Ma Dali's previous agreement, everyone in the fortress should escort the Gu family's caravan to continue forward, pass through two counties, and send it to the Xinglan Grand Canal.

But as soon as he left Misty County, Gu Shengnan's master and servant ran over and said something tactfully.

The two counties in front are densely populated and the roads are smooth.There is no longer any great danger for caravans passing by.Everyone in the fortress is homesick, so there is no need to send them any further.

Of course, the "double protection fee" promised before is still a lot.

Ren Ning looked south.

As long as you get out of the foggy wetland, the roads in all counties extend in all directions, and there is a way back to the stars before you.

Since Gu Shengnan said so, he agreed, and by the way, exchanged the Xiliang banknotes he took from the Benlu patriarch into Yunchuitong's banknotes.

3 million taels?
Gu Shengnan was taken aback and quickly realized.

Generally speaking, there is a discount for exchanging money.However, the female business leader swiped a pen and directly exchanged it to Ren Ning for 3 taels.

Not a lot.
