On the second day, things turned out exactly as Xie Changshi and Shopkeeper Wen expected.

After several tug-of-wars, Shen Yu'an became even more unwavering. It was another day of good food and good drinks. Before he left, several shopkeepers in Dingzhou couldn't bear it any longer and signed a contract with Shen Yu'an first.

Looking at the contents of the deed, the shopkeepers in Dingzhou were overjoyed. The advantage was the salt Yin they had discussed before, but the disadvantage...

I haven't seen any disadvantages yet.

Based on their trust in the prefect, these shopkeepers did not think that Wen would do anything illegal and put their business into an unkind and unjust situation.

Sign it, sign it, if you don't sign it, Wen will enter Beijing tomorrow.

They had all inquired, and the people from the Wen Mansion were already preparing things. They heard that for this purchase of salt, all the escorts from the Wen's Escort Bureau had been recruited, and they had no plans to recruit escorts in the past two months.

This shows that even if they don't agree, the Wen family's people will go to the capital to rob Yanyin!

The shopkeepers in Dingzhou worked together to surround the shopkeeper in Qizhou. They relaxed at the last moment and looked at the shopkeeper in Qizhou with extremely proud eyes.

Active and passive are completely different in Wen's eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as the Dingzhou shopkeepers signed the contract, the two Qizhou shopkeepers no longer hesitated, otherwise they would not be able to drink soup, let alone meat.

It was also at this time that they found out that the shopkeeper of Changzhou Liquor Store had signed a written contract with Wen Family a long time ago!
Several people looked at the wine shop owner and were indignant!
Since you are already wearing a pair of pants with Mr. Wen, why are you acting in front of them?

Now that the deed has been signed, several people have agreed on the travel time. As soon as the city gate opens early the next morning, these people have already set off. Every shopkeeper has a beautiful longing for the future on his face.

This trip to the capital may very well be the beginning of changing their destiny!
As for the Wen family, is it possible that they won’t be able to buy Yan Yin in the end?
These shopkeepers said that since they learned about the salt farm in Huizhou, they no longer have such worries.

Gu Yuzhi, wearing a thick white fox cloak, tried his best to stand on tiptoes on the city wall to watch them off. He watched Shen Yu'an and others' convoy drifting away and gradually disappearing on the long official road, and then he stamped his little feet.

Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but sneeze and got into the carriage with his hands and feet.

Silver charcoal was burning in the small red clay stove, and the carriage was covered with thick blankets. As soon as Gu Yuzhi entered, he took off his cloak and sat down cross-legged after a while.

He put his chin on his hands and said, "It's so cold."

It snowed heavily in Changzhou today. Magistrate Qi took people to inspect the suburbs two days ago, urging the people living in the suburbs to clear the snow and repair roofs.

Since the beginning of winter, it has snowed several times. Maybe it’s because all the overwhelmed houses last year collapsed, or maybe it’s because the prefect Qi took the trouble to go to the suburbs this year. So far, the houses where the poor live in the suburbs are still intact. Very strong, not a single building collapsed.

After he calmed down a little, he shook his head and said cheerfully: "When the snow stops tomorrow, we can go to Xinliang!"

His Highness's trip to Xinliang was postponed again and again. Chen Dianyi waited and waited. Seeing that Qi Chenglang and others were about to leave for the capital, there was still no sign of His Highness coming. Chen Dianyi was afraid of delaying Shen Yu'an and the others from going to the capital, so she had to Send someone to deliver the cloth first.

Not only that, Nanny Xu’s dried meat has been made several times... Xie Changshi frowned slightly: "Your Highness, why not wait a little longer. In the coldest month of winter, it snowed so heavily today, and the accumulation on the official road There is no one to clear the snow, and the carriage is prone to slipping. Your Highness, why not wait until the official road is cleared?"

The most important thing is that neither Qi Chenglang nor Zhang Yuankai is in the house this time...

This time Shen Yu'an and others went to buy salt. Xie Changshi not only sent all the escorts from the escort bureau, but also dispatched many guards from the mansion to protect him secretly. It was necessary to ensure that Xie Changshi was a little worried.

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face and said unhappily: "But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I want to go to my fief to see my people. Didn't Chen Dianyi say that before the Chinese New Year, he will distribute some food and meat to the people."

This reward mechanism was proposed by Teacher Shu. The euphemistic name not only prevents these people from regretting moving to Xinliang and settles down, but also encourages them to continue their efforts in reclamation next year.

This news has been revealed a long time ago. Chen Dianyi said last time that although the things were not distributed, the people were very happy. The guards often heard people praise the king for loving the people like a son...

Gu Yuzhi smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, and he stayed in a good mood for several days.

Although when making this proposal, both Xie Changshi and Chen Dianyi said that Xinliang has a large population now, and even if each household only has one pound of grain and one pound of meat, the expenses are not small.

Xinliang's granary has not yet put much food in it. If these things are to be distributed, I am afraid that they will need to buy them from Jinzhou.

But Xiaowen Wang patted his pocket and said that he was now "rich and wealthy" and was not worried that he would have nothing to eat after the small amount of food was distributed!
Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and said nothing, obviously trying to find a way to make His Highness fulfill his wish while ensuring safety.

Seeing that he was loose, Gu Yuzhi poked him with his index finger and kept trying: "Also, Xue Ye hasn't gone out to play for a long time. He must miss his mother too!"

Thinking of this, he tilted his head to one side and snorted: "Don't think I don't know, no one in the house wants to play with Xue Ye anymore!"

During this period, Xue Ye was in the Wen Mansion. Aunt Xu was serving her delicious food and drinks. Qi Chenglang was always out to escort people. Over time, its amount of exercise dropped sharply, and the entire wolf gained weight.

Gu Yuzhi felt that if this continued, Xue Ye's mother would definitely not be willing to recognize it!

After hearing this, and thinking of the resentful looks of the guards in the palace looking at him, Xie Changshi finally nodded: "Let's wait for two more days."

Gu Yuzhi pouted dissatisfiedly: "Why do we have to wait two days? Today we are waiting for tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows."

You have to wait every time, and if you wait any longer, it will really be the New Year!
Xie Changshi said patiently: "Your Highness, the snow is so heavy today, and it might not stop tomorrow. Moreover, there is definite news from Qizhou that Judge Qin and Guard Zhang will be back in the next two days. They accompany us to Xinliang.”

It's cold in winter and the roads are slippery. It snowed so much today. I don't know how the official road will look like when it is covered with snow. If you are not careful, it is very likely that something will happen, so Qin Yuanjian must accompany him.

Gu Yuzhi really didn't dare to be willful, so he had to go back and count the days, one day, two days, why two days have passed, and Guard Zhang and Judge Qin haven't come back yet!
