Yan Shiqing didn't know that Luo Jiaocheng appeared at the gate of the capital shortly after she left.
Little did he know that she sat in the carriage and cried for an hour. In the end, she was dizzy from crying and her eyes were red and swollen, so she was sent back to the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion.
She and Chu Ximo rode in a carriage, carrying rouge, gouache, perfume, soap, etc., and headed straight to Rongcheng.
Of course, this time she took Xiaoyun with her.
Now the rivers from the two countries have reached Rongcheng.
Of course, the entire Rongcheng and its jurisdiction are not yet connected to each other, but they have only been built to the gate of Rongcheng.
As the prefect, Jiang Yunye had already ordered the construction of a dock not far from the main city of Rongcheng.
Now is the time when this pier comes in handy.
Due to the barren trees and years of drought in Dachu, the people did not know how to build boats.
The large and small wooden boats currently used in Dachu were all purchased from the Hongwu Kingdom. They were all purchased by far-sighted businessmen or wealthy officials and were mainly used for carrying passengers and transportation.
Although Rongcheng Wharf has been built now, it is not perfect. The road to the main city has not yet been repaired, and there are not many ships and people coming and going from the wharf.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunye ordered the construction of shops and inns on both sides of the pier out of consideration, so it is still somewhat popular.
But now the shops and inns are losing money every month.
Those who buy shops and build inns at the docks all have a long-term vision and are not anxious to make money within a year or so. They mainly consider the future.
They all know that the interconnection of the entire river canals will only happen in a few years.
When the entire Dachu City is fully constructed, more people will travel by land and water, and the amount of goods transported will also increase.
When there are more ships, the pier will become more prosperous. And with the shops and inns on both sides, there is no need to worry about business.
It's hard to say, but it's possible to make a fortune every day.
Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo brought a lot of things with them this time, so the walk from the capital to Rongcheng was not very fast.
After wandering all the way, we didn’t arrive at Rongcheng until mid-to-late July.
Xiaoyun originally planned to go back to Ruanjiakeng the next day after Yang Jiaxiang got married. Later, he learned that Yan Shiqing was leaving Rongcheng in June, so he followed her.
Unexpectedly, the speed was really slow. It only took one and a half months on the road. I thought to myself, no wonder Sister Qing'er had to leave early.
There are so many things that it’s hard to get up quickly even if you think about it.
After the group stopped at the inn at Rongcheng Wharf, Xiaoyun said: "Sister Qing'er, if all the rivers in Dachu are connected, how long will it take for us to transport these things by water from the capital to here?
"
"At normal speed, it will take a month to travel by land. If we travel by water, if there are no reefs and there is a favorable wind, it will take less than twenty days. Of course, this assumes that the water does not freeze."
After Xiaoyun heard about it for twenty days, he calculated that it would take him nearly fifty days to follow him back this time, and he suddenly felt that it would be better to have a canal.
Thinking of the business of the chili sauce shop, she pondered for a moment and said: "Sister Qing'er, our chili sauce shop business has been doing well in the past few years. In the next few years when you are away, I want to use the profits and buy a boat.
Boat, what do you think?"
When Yan Shiqing heard about buying a boat, she immediately frowned: "How big do you want to buy? After buying it, where should it be put when there is no transportation, and who should look after it on weekdays?"
Hearing this, Xiaoyun said: "There will be no transportation. Sister Qing'er, have you forgotten what you have done? We now have not only hot sauce, but also medicinal herbs in Jifeng Town. In addition, we also grow a lot of
Xiangdan, and in winter there are vegetables in the greenhouse. In addition, you also have a vermicelli shop. We bought a boat and will park it at the dock of Jifeng Town to transport our things to Rongcheng.
There are also glass kilns here in Rongcheng, which can be transported to all parts of Dachu. Not to mention the capital, Aunt Suxin has perfume and so on. Our ship, one is not enough, we need more than two or three.
."
Yan Shiqing thought of the bottles and jars she had, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and said: "It's okay. But you don't have to pay the money. You can write to Aunt Suxin later and ask her to make a budget and buy a ship.
The money will come from her side. In this way, two ships will be arranged in Rongcheng, Jingcheng, and Jifeng Town, and two ships will be arranged in Tuofeng Town and Antelope City. A total of eight ships should be enough. But there is no need to rush for now.
Yan Shiqing knew that Xiaoyun had been out for a long time and had young children at home, so she nodded when she heard this.
She believed in Xiaoyun's ability.
Now the business of the chili sauce shop in Jifeng Town is getting bigger and bigger. Chili sauce is very popular in Hongwu Kingdom and Dachu. But it is Xiaoyun who makes the money, and Yan Shiqing herself will use the gift money in her hands.
Donated money to build bridges and roads.
There are still many people in dire straits, and she wants to do her best.
Under her guidance, Xiaoyun would also take out some money every winter and give it to needy households in need.
In the past two years, the Yu family and other families, who have started their own reselling business, have become increasingly prosperous.
When Xiaoyun used his money to help needy households, he would also buy some food and drink and send them to them.
Today, the lives of the villagers in Ruanjiakeng and Yangjia Village are getting better and better, and they are famously wealthy villages in Jifeng Town.
In places such as Jifeng Town, which were originally dry, I don't know who took the lead and planted trees every year. Every household, regardless of age, would plant a few trees.
Today's Jifeng Town can be said to be lush and lush. Wherever you go, you can see trees wherever you look.
Similar to Jifeng Town, it is Rongcheng.
Not to mention other places, you can see it from both sides of the pier.
After Yan Shiqing left Xiaoyun, she turned to Bai Zhi and said: "Go to the Rongcheng government office and tell my godmother that she will be at the dock when I arrive. Let her prepare the things I want with Suya.
Send everything over and set off early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Princess!"
Bai Zhi responded and hurried out.
After Yan Shiqing could no longer see Bai Zhi, she turned to look at Chu Ximo and said, "Ah Mo, I brought a lot of books this time. In addition to elegant eyebrows, my godmother also has glass jewelry, dishes, etc.
Of course, there are glass mirrors. There are a lot of these things, and they are heavy. I’m afraid there won’t be enough for both ships.”
Yan Shiqing arrived at Hongwu Kingdom first this time. Qi Lie had already sent two large ships and they were waiting at the dock in Rongcheng.
Yan Shiqing forgot to glance at the majestic carriage team and felt a little worried.
There were so many things to bring. She never expected that the various books alone would take several carriages.
"No, it's enough. There aren't many people going together now, and the boat sent by Qi Lie is big enough to carry it. I'm afraid it won't be enough just to wait at the Hongwu Kingdom and do some shopping and take it out. The craftsmen are waiting
We have already arranged to take other boats, and we are not in a rush to go there right away, so don’t worry, eh?”
Yan Shiqing knew who the craftsmen here were.
In addition, Xiao Nian'an did not come with him, and those who taught him then naturally did not follow him now.
As for going to other places, she originally planned to take Emperor Dexuan with her and prepare five or six large ships. In addition to transporting the things she brought out, she would also have to prepare food and people to protect Emperor Dexuan on the way.
Now that Chu Ximo said enough, she didn't need to worry about anything.
Anyway, most of these were arranged by him and Jiang Hongxuan.
"Okay, then you look at the arrangements. I'm going to take a rest. I'm a little tired from traveling these days. By the way, you have to remember that when you pass by Huaizhou, stop for a moment. Master is still there waiting for us."
Yan Shiqing said, rubbing her forehead, and after seeing Chu Ximo nodding, she went directly to the side room to rest.
She didn't know if it was because she had been sitting in the carriage for a long time or something else, but she felt uncomfortable all over.
Seeing her mental state, Chu Ximo stared at her back for a long time, pondered for a moment, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Thinking of the speculation in his mind, he was a little undecided for a moment. He decided to wait until he set off by boat tomorrow and ask Ni to show her when he arrived in Huaizhou.
Well, before that, he needs to keep an eye on her. As for her morning exercises, he should find a way to tell her not to bother with it yet.
I have to say that Huo Yiyi's work efficiency is fast.
After she saw Bai Zhi and heard what she said, she immediately asked people to start transporting all the things she had prepared to the dock.
When Yan Shiqing got up the next day, the things she was transporting had already been loaded on the ship.
"Shi Qing, my godmother asked my godmother to make these pastries early in the morning. They are still warm. You can take them with you to eat on the road."
Huo Yiyi is still grateful to Yan Shiqing. Now that Suya and Yang Jiaxiang are married, Shiqing is going to an overseas country, and she also doesn't forget to help Suya make money. In this regard, she can do more than other sisters.
Well come.
Yan Shiqing reached out to take it, opened it, took a look, and then smiled: "Thank you, godmother, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it! Shiqing, when you see Campbell when you go overseas, remember to say hello for me!"
"Yes. Godmother, Amo and I will leave first. Take care of yourself!"
When the two ships left Rongcheng Pier and Huo Yiyi's figure standing on the pier became smaller and smaller, Yan Shiqing couldn't help but yawned again.
Chu Ximo saw all this in his eyes, and saw his eyes flashing: "Qingqing, there is nothing to do now, why don't you take a break with me?"
Yan Shiqing still couldn't cheer up. She felt like she was sick, but there was nothing wrong with her. When Chu Ximo said to take a rest, she nodded involuntarily.
"good!"
As the ship headed from Rongcheng to Huaizhou, Chu Ximo became more and more sure of his thoughts.
This little girl always seems like she doesn't get enough sleep. She's not like her usual self at all. She might be pregnant. yyls
If he remembered correctly, her menstrual period was already a few days late.
The little girl probably didn't think much about it, or maybe she forgot about it.
