The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1222 Enemy or Friend (1)
The third child took it for granted: “Brother Xiao An has written in his eyes, he said, if we don’t come back and surrender, we will die!”
Qi Xiuyuan turned his head to look into Xiao An’s eyes, and seeing him smiling flatteringly at him, he snorted and turned his head away, knowing that this was a tacit understanding between the children, just like the tacit understanding between him and Haoran Zijin.
In order to prevent these children from harming his Royal Garden again, Qi Xiuyuan not only directly listed them as the Imperial Garden’s refusal to come and go, but also asked their father to come to pick them up in person.
Of course, Qi Wensu and Mingzhu had already been sent back by him in advance, and now there are only three left in his imperial study.
When Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran came to lead the people, Qi Xiuyuan looked at the three bear children and the two younger brothers and sighed, “When will they be as sensible as Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong?”
Fan Zijin asked nonchalantly, “Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong are sensible?”
Qi Haoran coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: “It’s better than these few, but don’t worry, brother, they will be sensible when they grow up in two years.”
Qi Xiuyuan snorted lightly, waved his hand away without comment.
Thinking of Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong, Qi Xiuyuan clapped his hands and called the leader of the secret guard, and asked, “Is there any news from the station?”
“Yes, but the last time the carrier pigeon came back, it showed that His Royal Highness and the Shizi had already passed Taiyuan. It is understandable that the news on the land was slower.”
Qi Xiuyuan was a little worried, “I’m afraid that those two brats will go to Dayuan. We just finished fighting Dayuan and wiped out Dajin. It’s very dangerous there.”
The leader of the dark guards lowered his head and dared not speak.
Qi Xiuyuan waved him back, “As soon as the news comes back from the station, let me know immediately.”
Sitting on a chair and thinking about it.
Carrier pigeons always make mistakes, so Xiaobao’s connection with the capital is double-layered. Non-confidential matters, such as articles written, some daily greetings, and some anecdotes are sent back through carrier pigeons, while those involving confidentiality or reporting safety It is to pass the message through the post station.
Qi Xiuyuan hadn’t heard from the two of them from the station for a while, but the time was still within controllable range.
If he hadn’t worried much before, but perhaps stimulated by a few brats, Qi Xiuyuan was always worried that Little Treasure and Little Bear would go into danger.
It doesn’t matter if Hutou and the others get into trouble, this is the capital, and with their support to watch over them, they can settle even the biggest disaster, but those two are outside, they are beyond their reach.
Regarding Qi Xiuyuan’s worries, Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran both took it lightly.
Fan Zijin said: “If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, His Highness the Crown Prince has been taught by the Emperor and Taifu Fang since he was a child, so it is impossible for him to understand when he grows up.”
Qi Haoran also said: “Although Xiao Xiong is a bear, he doesn’t mess around. He won’t joke about his life and Xiaobao’s life. Don’t worry, they will definitely not go to Dayuan’s territory.”
Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong did not enter Dayuan, they just ran to the border town, stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the land of Dayuan and Xixia. Jiangshan, you have to help me take it down!”
Little Bear also nodded excitedly, “I will definitely!”
The two brothers stood excitedly on the top of the mountain against the wind for a long time, and were about to make plans for Daqi’s future blueprint when they saw someone coming with a flock of sheep from afar, and Xiaobao asked curiously: “The important town is also open to the people of Dayuan? “
The guard who was in charge of inquiring about the news stepped forward and said: “Your Highness, Daqi did not strictly prohibit private transactions with Dayuan, but we Daqi had a discussion with Dajin before. It has become a practice, unless the trading market is banned, and border transactions are explicitly prohibited.”
Little Treasure rubbed his chin and said, “Why do you want to ban each other? Besides, Da Yuan is having a hard time now. If they close the market, what will they do?”
“The grassland is cold and bitter, Brother Xiaobao, since you want to occupy this land, have you thought about how to let the people here live a good life? You can’t let the Central Plains people support them? Then we might as well not expand the territory .”
Xiaobao pondered, yes, if the people on the grassland can’t get rid of the bitter cold, even if the land is occupied, it will only be taken over by another person, which will not benefit the people.
Xiao Bao glanced at the surrounding area at the foot of the mountain, waved his hand and said, “There is no rush now, let’s take our time and figure out a way.”
Xiaoxiong responded and went down the mountain with Xiaobao.
This is the border between Qi and Yuan. This small town is a border fortress, so troops are stationed there, and there is a market outside the city gate, so there are many businessmen coming and going.
Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong brought a group of guards to live in the best inn in the town. Although it was a bit more eye-catching, because there were businessmen from all over the place, everyone just took a second look, not very focus on.
The town has everything, but it lacks everything. Daqi’s tea, salt, and silk are the most expensive. The price of the same tea is nearly ten times higher than that in Jiangnan, and the fur, cattle, sheep, and horses here are more expensive than those in Jiangnan. Much cheaper.
The two teenagers were short of money since they were young, and they borrowed the pocket money of their four younger brothers for this study tour. They are responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses of the entire team, because Qi Xiuyuan said that this is also part of the experience.
So the two kids were pulling some goods as they walked.
For example, this time they knew they were going to an important border town. Xiao Bao and Xiao Xiong bought a lot of tea and silks when they were in the Central Plains, and they sold them when they arrived in the important town.
And they plan to stay here for a few days and start to go east, go to the south of the Yangtze River after crossing the Shandong area, and get out of the northern fur, the medicinal materials and some local products at the border will be expensive, so the two of them plan to go to the market after a day’s rest. look.
The fur and medicinal materials there are cheaper, and you may even find treasures there.
Hearing that the two young masters were going out of the city, the guards hurriedly stopped them and persuaded in a low voice: “Although there are troops stationed here, it will be very dangerous to go out of the city. The son of a thousand gold will not sit down…”
But Xiaobao said: “I’m not going to Dayuan. The land more than 20 miles outside the city gate is my Daqi territory. Don’t worry, we dress up like this and no one will doubt our identities.”
Of course, no one doubted that if they hadn’t heard about the ambitions of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Shizi the other day, the guards would have thought that they were here for business.
The two little masters were all focused on doing business. Yesterday they almost had a quarrel with the buyer over the price of tea, and the children of generations of merchants who went out to practice were very vivid.
Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong made up their minds, but the guards couldn’t stop them at all, so they could only follow them out of the city with a look of lovelessness.
The clerk at the inn knew that they were going to the market, so he hurriedly solicited them: “You two young masters, do you want to guide me? My little cousin is very familiar with the market and this area. There is no one in this area that he doesn’t know. , you two have a guide for what you want to buy, and he also understands several languages on the grassland, so it’s no problem to keep the conversation.”
Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong were asked to learn the language of Dajin and Xixia since they were young, but they paused slightly when they thought of the different pronunciations in ten miles.
Seeing that there is a door, the man tried his best to solicit again: “Don’t worry, the little cousin is very tight-lipped. As long as the customer is unwilling, he will not say a word that should not be said. He is still good at bargaining. The goods that come over are as small as a piece of rabbit skin, as large as ginseng antler, and there is no price that he does not know.”
Xiao Bao interrupted him and asked, “How much is a day?”
The clerk smiled and said, “If you’re happy, give him dozens of Wen, and give him a bowl of tea.”
“Okay, you can call someone here.” Xiaobao felt that the price was really cheap.
