Chapter 8 Looking for an Iron Shop

"Of course it's to make money." Li Yewu didn't hide it either.

"make money?"

For some reason, the old housekeeper had a bad premonition in his heart: "Where can the money come from in the barren mountains and wild mountains? Madam, you don't want to scheme against bandits, do you?"

Thinking that he had guessed correctly, the old housekeeper shook his head repeatedly: "My dear madam, don't look at the noble status of the master. In fact, he does not have any military strength. The strongest troops in our palace are just these servants who protect the courtyard. You must not think about it.

We don't have the ability to rely on suppressing bandits to fill the palace's treasury."

Li Yewu couldn't help but laugh. The old housekeeper really dared to think about it.

Do you think her way of making money is to lead Xiao Jiuxi's men to kill the bandits?

Please, even if they dared, she wouldn't dare to put her life in their hands.

Li Yewu waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, I asked you if there are any bandits or bandits because I want to avoid them. I just want to go into the mountains to get some mountain goods, not to suppress bandits."

The old housekeeper looked at Li Yewu suspiciously, making sure that she was not joking, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's not about suppressing bandits, let me tell you that even if the master comes back, he may not be able to defeat those bandits."

The old housekeeper is the only one in the world who can kill his master so confidently, right?

Li Yewu was laughing so hard inside.

But she also knew what the second generation ancestor was like, and she never thought about whether this person was reliable.

It's not surprising that he couldn't defeat the bandits. If he could, he wouldn't have to buy lives and money from the bandits all day long.

While Li Yewu was complaining about Xiao Jiuxi, the old housekeeper was already introducing what he saw and heard professionally.

"As far as the old slave knows, the places marked by the young lady are mostly rocky mountains with few animals inhabiting them. Bandits do not operate in that area, but..." The old housekeeper hesitated to speak.

Li Yewu said cheerfully: "Just tell me."

"There are few animals and people in this mountain forest, so there should be no mountain products... If you are looking for mountain products, perhaps the dense forest near the river is more suitable."

The old housekeeper said as he pointed to another place on the map, which was exactly one south and one north of the place circled by Li Yewu.

Even though Taihe Prefecture is just a small country, its actual area is the same as Brazil and its population exceeds one million, and there is a huge difference between the south and the north.

Li Yewu smiled and glanced at the dense woodland: "Your suggestion is very good, but it is spring now. Let alone the three-spring birds and April crucian carp, none of the tens of thousands of creatures in nature are breeding. It is impossible to hunt the land gods in this season."

I will be punished harshly."

The old housekeeper was stunned. According to the secret guard information, the young lady often went to the mountains to pick flowers alone. It seemed that her feelings for the mountains were not fake. This further reflected that the young lady was a kind-hearted person.

The old housekeeper couldn't help but look at Li Yewu with more respect. He said nothing and silently raised his hands to bow.

"That's what the little lady said."

Li Yewu only acted according to the code of conduct of harmonious development between man and nature. She did not expect that this concept would make the old housekeeper so impressed, so she continued to give orders without noticing.

"Although our trip into the mountains is not dangerous, it should not be high-profile. Please send all the trustworthy people available in the house. We will set off in three days."

"Uh...yes." Although the old housekeeper was confused, he still swallowed it silently.

After all, he promised not to interfere with any of the little madam's actions. Now that the little madam has just issued the first order, he starts asking questions and intervening before and after, which will inevitably make the little madam unhappy.

The old housekeeper knew the current affairs and Li Yewu was also happy and relaxed.

After explaining what she had to do, she was ready to go out. This was also the first time she went out after three days here.

There are two different states of going out after reading Taihecheng County Chronicles and going out without any clue.

After disguising herself, Li Yewu looked like an ordinary girl in Taihe City, and she didn't feel out of place when she blended in with the crowd.

Speaking of Taihe City, it is the imperial capital of the Taihe Kingdom. Although it is not as wealthy as the Imperial Capital of Chu, it still has 24 squares.

It is rich in cattle, sheep, melons, fruits, rice, etc. Every year, a lot of cattle, sheep and rice are paid tribute to the Dachu Empire, and it is known as the small granary of Dachu.

However, the chaos five years ago completely paralyzed this small granary.

And it's getting more and more chaotic.

When Li Yewu came out to inspect people's livelihood, she unexpectedly discovered that the East-West Market here still existed. However, only the shops of the four major families were operating normally, and there were no other stalls belonging to ordinary people.

It can be said that the four major families basically monopolize all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation in Taihe City.

As for the place where the people stayed, it was pitiful to say the least. After walking around, Li Yewu found that many houses in the city still maintained their appearance during the war. The ruins looked like haunted houses. Their owners had long since disappeared, and it was unknown whether they had become a ray of light.

Wrong soul.

"Actually, His Majesty did not massacre the city back then. The houses here became like this because of their king's gift.

At that time, King Taihe knew that the situation was over and he did not want his majesty to get the city of Taihe, so he asked his troops to set fire to the city in an attempt to destroy both the jade and the stone.

The fire burned for seven days and seven nights, and it was only our Chu army that attacked the city that put out the fire."

As a result, the vitality of Taihe City was greatly damaged, the people were in dire straits, and the situation was very tragic.

"It was winter when the master took over Taihe City, and the city was full of displaced people. Seeing that they were about to freeze to death, the master opened the noble courtyard and let them live in it. Over time, it turned into a slum."

Although Zicui came to Taihe City later with the large army, she had heard the legends about this place from the elder brothers of the Guards for a long time.

Zicui's role in front of Li Yewu these days is that of a know-it-all. When Li Yewu asked, she naturally explained.

Moreover, the heinous behavior of King Taihe made her master shine like a saint!

Although the master loves to spend money, all he spends is for righteousness!

Although the master is in debt, he is loved by them!

How could Li Yewu not know about Zi Cui's little tricks?

Speaking of which, Zicui is the only maid in the house. It is said that she is to be trained as Xiao Jiuxi's maid, but Zicui obviously does not intend to do this. She is just like the old housekeeper, she is just Xiao Jiuxi's fan.

I also get along very well with Li Yewu these days.

The people around Xiao Jiuxi seemed to be pretty good. At least she had come into contact with them in the past few days. Although these people were cowardly, they had no airs.

It is very rare for a prince to raise a group of servants who have no pretensions.

Of course, the old housekeeper didn't know that Li Yewu rated them so highly. If he knew, he would just sigh: We also want to put on airs, but the master doesn't give us the ability to put on airs. The palace can hardly lift the pot, who can we ask for food if we put on airs again?

.

…

Li Yewu thought Zicui was very cute and couldn't help but rub her head before continuing to move forward.

Zi Cui touched her head shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The little lady likes to rub her head. Does this mean that she likes her?
