Fight the Giants Chapter 410

Huo Xi lifted the curtain of the car to look out from time to time.

Mu Yan's tall body was riding on a horse, walking straight in front of the carriage.

Aren't you going to go to Mobei with the army tomorrow? Is there still time to see her off? Huo Xi was puzzled.

A group of people left the city and arrived at the Shili Pavilion outside the city. Huo Xi shouted to the front: "Let's go here."

Muyan Lema stopped.

Just as Huo Xi was about to jump off the carriage, he drove the horse to the back of the carriage.

stopped her: "Don't get down, I'll send it here, be careful all the way." Saying that, he glanced at Tayue on the shaft of the car, and Tayue cupped his hands at him.

Mu Yan withdrew her gaze, glanced at Huo Xi, and before she could speak, reined in her horse's head and galloped away.

Raised bursts of fly ash.

"Come back safely!"

Huo Xi shouted at his back. This person, there is no time for her to say a few words? Tsk. What's wrong.

The corners of Mu Yan's mouth curled up, and he rode his horse and galloped into the city.

The carriage traveled on the road for a day and arrived in Tongzhou in the evening. The group stayed in Tongzhou for one night, and took a boat to Tianjin early the next morning.

The shopkeeper Lan came to pick her up. Huo Xi went with him to the North Wharf which was under construction. The North Wharf was bought by her, and it has been more than half a month since the construction started, and there are many people around to watch the excitement every day.

Every day they are discussing whether the owner who bought the North Wharf has lost his mind.

The shops in the South Wharf are not sold out, and they are transferred every day. There are so many shops in the North Wharf, which are restaurants and inns. How much money can't be spent?

Shopkeeper Lan is surrounded by merchants asking questions every day, which makes him very irritable.

But Lu Shun saw a business opportunity.

Booked two shops with Shopkeeper Lan, not to mention. I heard that Huo Xi bought several houses in Tianjin City, and also bought several shops and houses.

The cloth that he was caught in the south of the Yangtze River has arrived in Tianjin, and now he has recovered.

Seeing that Huo Xi had arrived in Tianjin, he came to discuss with her. Knowing that she was still buying Zizhuangzi in Beiping, she turned around and was going to order her grandson to bring the steward, and buy a few shops and a few houses when she went to Beiping.

Seeing that she believed in herself, Huo Xi suggested: "Shops and houses are the next best thing. If you have enough money, you can buy some farms. Now that the population of Beiping is increasing, food is probably in short supply. Planting some food will always pay off. .”

Just like the current capital city, if people in the capital want to buy Zhuangzi, they can only go to other prefectures and counties to buy it. In the future, when the population of Beiping increases, Zhuangzi can only buy Changping, Daxing, and Tongzhou.

Lu Shun thinks so too, if you buy a field, you can grow it, and you can earn money if you buy it, and the grain can be sold to the grain shop in the future. It is also easy to realize the field.

I solemnly thanked Huo Xi.

Guangfengshui started his family later than himself, but he came from the capital, and when he came to the north, he bought land and property with a lot of money. I'm afraid he got some news.

Businessmen like them are at the bottom of the list, with low status, and they have no access to the officials in the court and the central government, so they are slow to get news. The Huo family must have some inside information.

Huo Xi heard from shopkeeper Lan that after the construction of the pier, Lu Shun helped find a lot of craftsmen and peasants, who helped a lot, so he treated him to a good meal, and shared some news with him.

"I know the emperor has arrived in Beiping, but is the emperor going to conquer Mobei himself?" Lu Shun was a little surprised.

Huo Xi nodded, "Now the emperor's army is on its way to Mobei."

"Then the battle is stable?" Lu Shun was a little excited. I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times. Who wants to fight? Their wealth and lives are in this northern land.

Once aliens from the prairie set foot on the northern land, where are they going to flee?

Huo Xi smiled: "The emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and if he is not fully prepared, he will not personally conquest."

Lu Shun breathed a sigh of relief. He heard that there was going to be a war with Mobei, and he even took the property in central Beijing to the south. Now hearing what Huo Xi said, my heart is settled.

"Thank you for the news you brought. So we feel at ease. You can rest assured that you will go back to Jiangnan and the matter of Tianjin Wharf. As long as there is a need for Shopkeeper Lan, I will definitely do my best."

Huo Xi thanked him, sure enough there are many friends and many paths. In the north, some local people can help, and the result will be doubled.

Stayed in Tianjin for two days, bought some local products, and boarded the ship back to the south of the Yangtze River after the ship was unloaded.

A group of caravans with more than 20 carriages was carefully passing through the narrow path between the two mountains.

Gong Ziyi watched the last carriage pass through the valley, and waved his hand, "Rest in place."

Li Neng and others immediately chose a flat place, set up a tent, set up a stove, and sent people to check the surrounding environment. If they want to sleep here tonight, they must ensure the safety of everyone.

After a simple dinner, Gong Ziyi ran to a place where he could avoid people while it was still dark. With a straw in his mouth, his hands are resting on the back of his head, one leg rests on the knee of the other, he swings twice, staring at the sky in a daze.

His brother, how could it be a girl?

The virtuous brother he worshiped at the Grand Canal at the age of twelve, the virtuous brother he has called for several years, how could it be a girl?

Just such a good brother, how did he become a girl?

Gong Ziyi thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out. As soon as he lay down, that hair of black hair would dangle in front of his eyes, making him distraught.

No wonder the younger brother refused to let him hold his shoulders, soak in the hot springs with him, or lie on the same bed with him and talk at night. So this is not the younger brother.

He actually read it wrong that day, right? A good brother is still a good brother, not a good sister, right?

Gong Ziyi wished to wash his eyes with snow water from Tianshan Mountain, he has been blind all these years.

turned over and beat the ground hard. The land covered with weeds was hammered, and a small hole was immediately hammered out.

Li Neng came to discuss things with Gong Ziyi, seeing him like this, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. The young master is talking about it, who is calling him blind?

"Call you, you are blind!"

You are blind! Not even a girl can tell! She also allowed me to become a sworn brother and called him a good younger brother for so many years. Maybe she laughed at me behind my back.

You are blind! Looking at Li Neng, his eyes were full of sorrow and resentment.

Uh... Li Neng wiped his eyes with his hand, why is he blind? His eyes are bright. Can be seen at night.

Li Neng looked puzzled, and turned his head to look around. He had someone check it out. This place is very safe. There will be no hungry wolves to disturb the young master's quietness at night, so the young master can sleep through the night. The light is bright.

Where are you blind?

Shaking his head, he didn't want to bother with the crazy young master, he could be blind as long as he could see the road.

"Master, we brought a lot of salt and food this time, should we still go to the tribes we visited last time?"

Speaking of serious matters, Gong Ziyi lost his expression.

"The place we went to last time, those people bought a lot of salt, and they should be able to eat it for a while. This time, let's bypass Kanshan and go to Hulan Zhabu. There are many good horses there. This time we Bring back some more horses."

Li Neng frowned tightly.

"It's too far over there. If you run there, you'll go too deep into the grassland, and I'm afraid it won't be safe. Besides, the emperor personally conquered Mobei. If those people arrest us as spies, it may be dangerous."

"I know you are worried. But we have already been to the south, and they have to save more things in their hands. If they only return some gold and silver, they will return empty-handed. Why did we make this trip?"

Seeing that Li Neng's brows were still unfurled, he comforted him: "Don't worry, we have a guide, and we've brought a lot of guards this time. It's a big deal, we don't want the goods, as long as the people are safe."

"Master, you don't have to do it yourself, and you are the eldest son of the eldest son, and you will get a lot of property in the future. Why don't you stay in Huai'an?"

Li Neng really couldn't figure out what Gong Ziyi was thinking.

It is not necessary to be a noble son of a salt merchant, but to come out and make a living. Now the Patriarch has seen the ability of the young master, and there is no need to prove anything to the clansmen.

Gong Ziyi didn't intend to say more. What is in the family belongs to the family, only what he worked hard for is his.

Swiped Li Neng back, lay back on the grass, and looked at the starry sky with long-distance eyes.

The stars in the sky seem to be connected into a blue thread, from one end to the other.

Gong Ziyi was so frightened that he shook off the goosebumps on his hands and crawled into the tent.
