Chapter 12 Taizhou City (1)

()

After leaving the woods, Zhang Yang and Liu Ruohan broke up. Liu Ruohan had to rush home. Zhang Yang took Shixin and Li Bosheng back to the salt ship.

"Brother Shicheng..." Liu Ruohan's eyes showed a little reluctance.

"Go back quickly, be careful, take a turn and go back from the north, don't let anyone discover it." Zhang Yang instructed.

"I understand..." Ruohan lowered his head, pinched the corner of his clothes, and still couldn't say the two hot words in his heart.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and Zhang Yang and the others had already walked away with great strides.

Although the wind is very slow, the salt ship can still sail for dozens of miles. They must arrive at the next location: Dongtai when it is dark, so they can board the ship smoothly and meet with the Shitsyi and the others on the ship. This action came to a perfect end.

Of course, it is not perfect. Although no one has discovered it, Qiu Yi's body has been placed on the road and discovered it. The government will definitely know that Qiu Yi was killed.

But this is good. Qiu Yi has done many evil deeds and is domineering in the salt field, with a radius of dozens of miles. Everyone knows that he was killed, so he can find a breath of anger.

As for whom he was killed, if the real murderer could not be found, he would definitely be on the White Lotus Training. This is a convention in the government.

Anyway, there was a lot of trouble outside. I saw the notice of pursuing the Red Turban Army fugitives in Pingjiang City last time. They were all White Lotus Sects?

Several people speeded up their journey, and went back and forth for nearly a hundred miles, which was a forced march. Moreover, in order to cover up, they walked on winding paths.

I took a break in the middle, ate a few bites of the big cake I carried with me, drank some water from the water bag, and even had a picnic.

Zhang Yang took out the stone and looked at it with love.

"Brother, isn't it just a stone? It's that beautiful?" Shi Xin asked curiously. Seeing that Liu Ruohan was not so focused, this stone has such great magic power?

"Of course." Zhang Yang said casually, "This stone has a significant effect on us." Zhang Yang was inconvenient to say more, but his inner joy was beyond words.

Thick calluses had been ground on their feet, and their legs had become sore and weak, but the three of them were still moving forward.

Finally, when I arrived at Dongtai, it was not yet dark, and I saw the small flag dancing in the wind on the salt boat from afar.

"Brother, I'm back." Shit came to greet him.

"Yes." Zhang Yang got on the boat and immediately lay on the deck.

"I'm so exhausted!" Shi Xin also fell aside.

"Brother, let's rest in the cabin. We will have to two days to get to Taizhou. It seems that the wind is coming, so we should be quicker." Shiyi said.

"Okay." Zhang Yang stood up and walked out of the cabin.

There were loads of official salt in the cabin. In Zhang Yang's eyes, this was a piece of silver. Each of them had a wrapped bag and five taels of fine salt.

This time we will start business in Taizhou.

With that waist brand, it will be convenient in the future. This is also an unexpected gain this time.

Sure enough, after nightfall, the east wind was flying. With the wind, the salt ship had the power and could arrive in Taizhou very soon.

After passing Dongtai, the salt ship sailed out of the canal and followed a small river to Taizhou.

The south has been a water town since ancient times. The water network is everywhere and transported by ship is much faster than on land. This kind of salt ship is not very big, it is only about fifteen meters long, about two meters wide, and half a meter of water harvest. Therefore, various small rivers can also come and go freely.

Under the strong wind, the salt boat arrived in Taizhou on the morning of the third day.

Taizhou, also known as Hailing, is also a relatively large city on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It is adjacent to Yangzhou and belongs to Yangzhou Road.

A few white clouds floated faintly in the sky. In the background of the blue sky and white clouds, the huge city showed a powerful momentum. It floated in Huai and Si, the vast sky waves, the sea... in the universe, and the river city entered Yangyan.

The gurgling water in the moat was calm.

At the city gate, several Yuan soldiers stood lazily on the side, holding spears and slashing their waists.

Anyone who enters the city will pay five cents of entry fees and will be handed over to the Registration Office. In fact, since the number of people entering the city cannot be counted, most guards will fill their pockets. Therefore, this small city gate is also a waste of money.

Zhang Yang will deal with these matters. He is the leader of the salt transport team. He has to deal with all these matters by himself.

Zhang Yang had already been familiar with the road, and led everyone to carry the creaking shoulder pole and walked towards the city gate.

"Stop!" As soon as the business came, several Yuan soldiers immediately became energetic.

"Several military officials, we are salt transporters from Baiju Salt Field in Gaoyou. We come to Taizhou to deliver salt. This is a document." Zhang Yang said, handing over the document from Baiju Salt Field, and handing over the city entrance fee to Junye.

"Let's go, let's go." There was no problem with the inspection of the documents, and after getting the money, he naturally let it go.

Just like last time, the troops were divided into two groups. Zhang Yang took Shixin to sell his fine salt everywhere, and Shide took the others to deliver salt to the salt merchants.

"Sister, do you need salt in the house?" Knocking on the side door of a wealthy household, a graceful maid came out, and Shi Xin immediately sold his salt in a flattering manner.

"Go away, look at your poor dress, stay wherever you are cool." As he said that, his eyebrows squeezed, he took a small step back and closed the door.

This maid looks charming, how come she speaks so sarcastically? Shi Xin shook his head.

"It's okay, let's go to the next house." Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang has seen many such people as wealthy, snobbish, and judged by his appearance. It turns out that he has seen many people. It is the most difficult to develop the market. Once the development is successful, the money will come in large quantities. In his own era, having a salesperson who can speak, observe words and expressions, understand people's hearts, and is good at grasping customer psychology is a hot commodity.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." With a few shouts, several horses rushed towards him.

There were fierce Mongolians immediately. Two whips that were surrounded by large rings swayed up and down with the bumps of their bodies. The whip was whipped on the horse, and the horse spread its hooves and ran wildly.

An old man on the road, carrying a load of firewood, had no time to dodge, and the horse was already running in front of him.

Seeing that the horse was about to hit, Zhang Yang and Shicheng quickly stepped forward and pulled him aside.

"Old man, is it okay?" Shi Xin asked.

The person who was about to go straight did not slow down at all, and said, leaving.

The old man sat tremblingly on the stone and said, "Thank you two heroes for helping each other, otherwise my life will be over!"

"Are they not afraid of hitting people when they ride horses like this?" Zhang Yang said angrily.

"It just hits you. They are Mongolians. Even if we step on our southerners, they will just be a donkey." Shi Xin looked at the direction where the horse disappeared and said angrily.

This world is so unfair.

As he was talking, the door next to him opened again.

The mean maid just now opened her eyes wide and said, "Why are you talking here again?"

Suddenly, she stopped talking.

"Dad."

The old man in the middle is his father. He hasn't returned home since he came here half a year ago.

"Xiaofeng, since you entered this courtyard, why have you become more and more inhumane? Don't learn from those rich people who are unkind. If it weren't for these two heroes just now, your father would have died."

Xiaofeng quickly made a blessing to Zhang Yang and Shi Xin: "Thank you two heroes for helping each other."

"You're welcome." Zhang Yang said.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"I cut a load of firewood and took it to the city to sell it. The buyer asked me to deliver the firewood here." The old man said, coughing twice.

"Dad, this is my salary in the past few months. You can take it home."

Shi Xin glanced at it and immediately said sarcastically from the side: "The best fine salt, one hundred pounds per pound. The goods are real and the only ones are innocent."

"I understand, come in with me." Xiaofeng said.
