"Girl, Ruyi County is ahead of us. If we continue on the road and don't have time to go to the next county, do we want to stay here tonight? If girl doesn't like Ruyi County, let's speed up a little bit. We're on a night trip, but there's a town
You can pass by or stay at a farmhouse." The driver asked on the walking carriage.
"But which county was the most severely looted by the horse bandits and then resettled the victims in large numbers?" Bai Ling asked.
"Exactly." The coachman responded, and then added: "I heard that the county magistrate here is a good official, and the victims have been properly resettled. It's just that there are too few rich people, and business is not easy to do. The neighborhood is famous.
It has become a poor county. In addition, some local people secretly exclude the new victims. Even if the county magistrate wants to maintain order, there will still be a lot of gangsters in the county."
"Go and have a look." Bai Ling said in a calm voice.
As a businessman, such poor counties are more suitable for long-term investment.
But Ruyi County became like this because countless people died tragically under the sword of disguised enemy soldiers, and Bai Ling really couldn't be happy.
As the carriage drove into Ruyi County, there were a lot of hawking sounds on the streets, but there were not many pedestrians on the road.
Bai Ling lifted the car curtain and saw that most of the pedestrians were in a hurry, and there were very few customers visiting the shops.
"Girl, my subordinate just asked. The largest inn is near the county government office. I heard it's quieter there." The coachman's voice interrupted Bai Ling's thoughts.
"Then let's go." Bai Ling nodded.
However, Bai Ling didn't know that when she lifted the car curtain, she was already being targeted by more than one group of people.
"For outsiders who can afford to ride in a carriage, they are big fat sheep. You must inform your elder brother immediately. If you are late, others will eat them."
"Young ladies are pretty. If you sell them after robbing the money, you'll get another huge amount of money."
"Go and inform the brothers that a big deal is coming."
However, Bai Ling did not notice these passers-by, but the secret guard knew clearly, but did not stop any of them.
Yuankelai Inn is the largest and most prestigious inn in Ruyi County.
Even so, the business of Yuanke Lai Inn is also sluggish. It is true that Ruyi County has a bad reputation. Recently, no merchants are willing to stay here. They would rather rush and take a detour.
"Little thief, I asked you to steal something, but you didn't even bother to find out who the owner of our Yuanke Lai is. If you dare to seek death here, I won't beat you to death!" The boy cursed and punched a teenage boy.
Kick.
Although he couldn't see the young man's face clearly, his bright black eyes caught Bai Ling's attention.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. If a person has such eyes, he must not be someone who lives at the bottom all year round.
Moreover, the boy's clothes obviously didn't fit him, but except for the shoe marks and dust from being kicked just now, they were very clean.
Of course, Bai Ling did not miss the cocoon in the young man's mouth, which was left behind by years of use of weapons.
"What did he steal from you?" Bai Ling spoke softly, interrupting the man's violence.
If it weren't for the poor public security in Ruyi County, Bai Ling really wouldn't want to live here.
To be able to kill a beggar shows that the owner is not a kind person either.
"This kid sneaked into the back kitchen, ate a roast chicken, and took a tray of steamed buns. That's my month's wages!" Thinking that his wages would be deducted, the waiter got angry again and kicked him hard.
The boy kicked.
"How many things he stole will be recorded in my account." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he walked towards the inn and told the coachman: "Uncle Zhong, give him some broken silver and medicinal wine to treat bruises."
The young man knew kung fu but did not fight back, which proved that he was not a bad character and knew how to pay for the wrong things he had done.
When people in the world are in trouble, Bai Ling is still willing to help with things that can be easily done with a little effort.
"You're lucky to have met such a beautiful and kind-hearted female Bodhisattva. If you dare to steal anything in the future, I'll break your legs!" The man sighed, but his wages were not deducted, and he was flattering to Bai Ling.
He got up and said, "The girl is really kind-hearted. Do you want to stay in a hotel or work as a prostitute?"
"Staying in a hotel, sharing two rooms." Bai Ling didn't want to argue with a waiter. After all, it was not easy for everyone.
Thinking back to the time when he traveled back in time, when Old Lady Bai came to snatch some fish that he had caught, Bai Ling wanted to fight for his life, so he understood what the guy was doing.
It's just that the waiter's behavior is understandable, but the boss's failure to stop him was wrong.
"Girl, please come to the second floor. The rooms on the east side are all upper rooms. You can stay in any room you want. Our Yuan Ke is the best inn in Ruyi County. I guarantee that the girl will be satisfied." The waiter walked quickly to lead the way.
When Uncle Zhong gave the young man something, he realized that the young man was a practicing master, but without saying a word, he asked a waiter to park the carriage in the backyard, and then went to find Bai Ling with the luggage he needed.
After the young man put the things in his arms, his eyes fell on Bai Ling, he raised his darkened face, and a look of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
Bai Ling chose to live at the end of the corridor, while Uncle Zhong lived next door to her, so he could take care of her when something happened.
After a simple dinner, Bai Ling told Uncle Zhong: "Go and contact our people here, let them become local leaders here as soon as possible and change the current situation of Ruyi County. If there are properties for sale at low prices, just buy them first."
Come down and open a grain store for the time being, and wait for the situation here to stabilize a little before we can open for business."
"It is cheap to buy property at this time, but you have to wait at least a few months before doing business. There are few rich people in Ruyi County, and I am afraid that you will lose money in the first two years of business. Girl, don't you think about it again?" Zhong Zhong
Shu Ming is a coachman on the surface, but in fact he is a bodyguard. He is also the kind who has traveled through rivers and lakes and has some opinions on many things.
"It doesn't matter. If we want the economy here to recover, we have to keep everyone fed, clothed and employed. We are not short of money. If we can establish a foothold in Ruyi County now, we won't be afraid of not being able to make money in the future." Bai Ling wants the most.
It's the intelligence network and the connections it belongs to.
As for how much money a county can earn, Bai Ling doesn't take it seriously. After all, the most important thing for her is money.
However, Bai Ling didn't know how much convenience her actions today would bring in the future.
After Uncle Zhong left, he symbolically asked for a bucket of hot water, then opened the door and entered the space.
The destination this time is Zixiao City. Since we are going to Shangguan Yu's territory, we must prepare something for him.
For example, medicinal materials and meet-and-greet gifts.
After harvesting a batch of medicinal materials, Bai Ling took a bath in the spiritual spring and then leaned on the swing frame to carve jade pendants.
After a busy night, Bai Ling settled the bill energetically and prepared to leave Ruyi County.
"Boss, that coachman seems to know some skills. Let's not get on for a while and let Brother Hu and the others pester the coachman. All the money should be with the little girls. Let's drive the coach away without even leaving them any people."
A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said with a wicked smile.
"Okay, when they start fighting, you go and catch the carriage. We will wait for you at Shiliting." The man known as the boss nodded and asked the other brother to duck away, ignoring the sharp-mouthed man who was struck by lightning.
expression.
Even if the coachman is good at boxing and kicking, he is still only one person. He is hugged by so many people and there are still many people idle. Can he get close to the carriage by himself and still successfully drive away?
While the sharp-mouthed man was petrified, several waves of people rushed forward and intercepted the carriage.
"The carriage, money and women are left behind, you can go." A big, round man pointed at the carriage and shouted, holding a rusty broadsword in his hand. (To be continued)
