"Yes," a smile flashed in Bai Shan's eyes, and he nodded affirmatively: "There are not only elephants, but also peacocks."
Zhou Man remembered the peacock he had seen in the capital a long time ago, and his heart moved.
Keke was also very moved, so she encouraged the host in her mind, "Host, you are the best, come on."
Just for this sentence, Zhou Man and Bai Shan said, "I want them both. But the elephant is huge, and the peacock has a high status in the Liaozi Department. Both of them are too eye-catching, so what excuse should we find to make them disappear out of thin air?"
Bai Shan held her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, I have a way. Just have fun with Bai Er and the others along the way."
It is not close from Xiangzhou to Liaozibu, and the further south you go, the higher the terrain, the less populated, and the mountains are high and densely forested. In some places, it is difficult for carriages to navigate, so they can only get down and ride horses, with their luggage tied to mules.
Wait until the road is passable before buying a new car cover.
It was also the first time for Zhou Man and the others to arrive in such a place, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while, let alone Ming Da and Yin Or.
Both of them got sick on the way, so they were not in a hurry, so they simply found a place to stay locally, and while they were recuperating, they inquired about the next journey...
They stopped in a small tribe. Here, they knew about the Jin Dynasty and recognized the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, but they did not recognize the money of the Jin Dynasty, so several people with great wealth suddenly became paupers.
Fortunately, they still recognized cloth, but they didn't bring much cloth with them. Bai Erlang exchanged a piece of cloth for a bag of rice and a lot of vegetables and meat when he came back. Then he sighed and said: "I should have known that outsiders recognize cloth but not money.
Let’s just bring a little more cloth and satin.”
Yin He: "The rarest thing in the world is to know it early."
Bai Shan was very indifferent: "Don't we still have several pieces of cloth? It's enough. When we get to the big cities or big tribes, they will recognize the money, and there are still silver coins."
If you don’t recognize copper coins, you always recognize silver, right?
Bai Erlang felt unsafe, "What if they just don't recognize us? Suddenly we feel so poor. Are we going to have a hard life?"
Mingda patted him and said, "Don't be so talkative."
Zhou Man was very confident, "It's okay. I don't care about money. It's not difficult for us to make money from them. I can treat them."
Considering Ming Da and Yin You's health, they brought a lot of medicinal materials with them, and there were also many medicinal materials in the mountains and forests, some of which were rare and rare. Zhou Man picked them whenever he saw them, and now he has dried and concocted many of them.
Even if they buy medicinal materials, it will be enough for them to live for a long time.
Yin You thought about it seriously and then turned to look at Bai Shan, "When it comes to making money, we all seem to have become useless."
Because they have no skills.
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment, "Maybe we can try buying and selling?"
Bai Erlang continued, "What if you can't sell it and you lose money instead?"
Bai Shan: "...I am still very confident in my vision."
But after asking around, they found out that the most profitable thing was the pieces of cloth they carried.
The purchasing power of small tribes is limited, and a piece of cloth can be exchanged for limited things here. But when they go to the big city, the cloth they bring is light, breathable, and of good color, but it can be exchanged for a lot of things.
It's much more valuable than exchanging cloth for something here and then reselling it.
So Bai Shan came back after wandering around and found that, as Yin Yu said, they had become the most useless.
Zhou Man chuckled at this and ordered him and Bai Erlai unceremoniously, "Let's make some pills to take with us. If we get sick on the road or meet someone who is sick, we can use them."
The two guides Lu Xiaofo found for them stopped thinking about moving forward when they saw that they were actually living in a small tribe, setting up a stall under a tree to treat people every day, or digging for medicinal materials in the mountains.
The guide didn't know their identities. When Governor Lu found them, he didn't tell them their identities. He just said that they were his good friends. But being friends with the Governor was obviously a noble person.
Therefore, the guide did not dare to go to them to question them. He could only ask the guards, "Are we not leaving?"
"My masters are not feeling well and will stay here for a while. You can stay here in peace and wait until you recover before setting off on your journey."
"But..." the guide hesitated: "They don't look like they have a big problem. Aren't they just having a bad appetite and feeling a little dizzy? It will be over after a while."
"This is a noble man. How can he bear to be sick?" The guard said: "You just stay here peacefully. We will leave when it's time to leave. Don't worry, you will not be short of money."
Considering the reward they gave, the guide could only endure it, not because he didn't want to lose his temper, but mainly because they paid too much.
Afterwards, they stopped and stopped several times, and the guide realized that there was a legitimate reason to stay in the small tribe. Later on, they heard that a valley was full of butterflies, so they changed their route to see butterflies.
, and stayed in that mountain for three or four days.
Two people went to the valley to watch butterflies all day, one person sat in a daze watching the butterflies, or took out paper to draw, and the other two people went into the forest to dig for medicinal herbs after watching the butterflies...
The two guides followed each other and it was really tiring.
There were many more things like this. When they finally arrived at Annan City after all the hardships, the two guides almost cried. These distinguished guests were really difficult to serve.
However, they still have to take people back.
But we finally arrived at Annan City.
The city wall of Annan City is not low, and it is the most prosperous city of the Liaozi tribe. The chief of the Liaozi tribe also lives in this city.
"Here, we are just classmates and friends of Guanyin. We are here to have fun, so don't reveal our identity." Bai Shan turned to look at Mingda, "Especially His Highness."
Mingda said he understood.
Bai Erlang: "What if it is leaked?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly, "It's okay if it's leaked. Just admit it openly."
He said: "Now that the Jin Dynasty is strong and powerful, the Liaozi Department is the Jisi Prefecture of our Jin Dynasty. They dare not do anything to His Highness. Instead, they want to ensure His Highness's safety."
Bai Erlang: "Then why can't you reveal your identity openly?"
Zhou Man: "Just so that you can go wherever you want."
Bai Erlang: "I don't want to go anywhere now. I just want to have an inn, take a comfortable bath, and then sleep comfortably."
Yin He: "But I don't like to be restrained by others, and I don't like to be watched."
Bai Shan: "I still have something to do. You'd better hide your identity before I finish it."
"Okay, I know," Bai Erlang said. Although Bai Erlang didn't understand why they came to the Liaozi Department, they were already here, so naturally they wanted to enjoy themselves.
He didn't ask Bai Shan what he wanted to do, and just asked people to find a place to stay after entering the city.
Most of the people in the Liaozi tribe are Yi people. I heard that this tribe is composed of many tribes, and each tribe has a different ethnic group. There are so many names that Bai Erlang can't remember them.
But there are still Han people in the city, and there are quite a lot of them. Bai Erlang looked around and saw many familiar Han people in the brightly colored national costumes. He couldn't help but sigh: "As long as I can make money, there will be Jin people."
