In Guanshan Town, Taiyuan Prefecture, Nanhaiwei has a small team of troops stationed there. The leader of the team is You Yong, one of the four people who used to be around Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan put him here, which is a good way for him.
His reuse is also a training for him.
This small team does not have much to do on weekdays. Rather than being a garrison stationed here, it is more like an office of Nanhaiwei here. However, they are not contacting the local government, but
The affairs of the grain merchants in Shanxi, and as a transit point from Nanhaiwei to the capital.
The final destination for Renlao and Catherine is this small transit station.
Whether it's Renlao, Catherine, or You Yong, they all know each other. Sometimes, a familiar face can reduce too much red tape and even temptation.
You Yong was also extremely surprised to see Ren Lao and Catherine. You Yong was not very impressed with Ren Baihu, but Catherine was an old acquaintance.
"Ren Baihu, Miss Catherine, please feel free to rest here for a few days. I have sent someone to send you a message. The road from Shanxi to Shaanxi has not been very peaceful recently. Miss Catherine has come all the way, so naturally she cannot take any risks.
The risk!”
"Actually, if possible, I would like to appear directly in front of Mr. Jiang and give him a big surprise!"
Catherine said she had no objection to his arrangement. The journey from Tianjin to Shanxi was definitely not an easy one. It was very reasonable to take a short rest here and see Jiang Wan again. Which woman would want to be seen by the person she admired?
How about you looking haggard?
In the past, Catherine's affection for Jiang Wan only gradually deepened, but this time because of the sweet potato incident, she almost completely cut off her retreat. Whether it was the kingdom or the Chamber of Commerce, they would never allow her to
This kind of crop was introduced to the Ming Dynasty, and she not only disobeyed the orders of the Chamber of Commerce, but also turned to the Sihai Trading Company in Haojingao for help. With the help of Jiang Wan's people, she directly smuggled a batch of seeds that could be used as seeds.
The sweet potatoes come out.
When they escaped from the sphere of influence of the Folangji people, they were in such a hurry that they chose the sea route and an ordinary merchant ship instead of entering the Ming Dynasty directly by land. In addition to safety reasons, they faced the Ming Dynasty.
Catherine, who knew enough about it, knew that it was such a long road from the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty to the northwest part of the Ming Dynasty. She was worried that if the sweet potatoes she smuggled out could not be delivered to Jiang Wan in time,
Then all her efforts would be wasted.
Now that she was finally at the end of the field, she was only one step away from meeting Jiang Wan. She could finally relax, take a good rest, and think about her makeup again.
He knew that many people in Ming Dynasty did not appreciate her beauty very much, but she knew that Jiang Wan was different. Regarding this, she had a deep understanding of this through many contacts with Jiang Wan. She even felt that if
Who knows how to appreciate him the most in the entire Ming Dynasty? If Jiang Wan claims to be second, no one would dare to say he is first.
Those ignorant people even thought she was ugly, and even children would be frightened and scream when they saw her, which once made her feel very embarrassed.
It is said that there is a huge city not far from this barren town. That city is even the center of this province. In such a city, I can buy for myself some services and jewelry worn by noble women of the Ming Dynasty.
It shouldn’t be a difficult thing!
Catherine was thinking about this matter in her mind, thinking about how hard it was for Renlao and his subordinates to escort her all the way here. It would be inappropriate to bother them again for such a thing, she thought.
After thinking about it, I decided to go find the young Baihu officer.
At least that officer from Baihu had been a bodyguard by Jiang Wan's side for a long time, so he should be able to understand her mood very well and be more talkative.
In the room in front, the young officer seemed to be talking to someone. The soldiers on the road smiled and nodded towards her. They did not prohibit her from approaching the room. She smiled and saluted back to the soldiers.
, standing under the eaves, waiting for the people in the room to finish speaking.
"Shopkeeper Fan, it's a good thing that Fan Ji can take the initiative to increase the grain team, but my manpower is limited, and we can only follow the usual rules for guarding. There is only one sergeant with a small banner in the grain team at most, and, you know
Yes, today’s grain team, besides your Fan Ji, there are several others..."
"It's a good thing that you organize your own security guards. As long as the government doesn't have any objections, there won't be any problems when you get to Yan'an Mansion. I know about this and I will report it to our commander. Shopkeeper Fan doesn't have to worry!
"
The young officer from Baihu in the room seemed to be talking to a businessman. After listening for a while, Catherine immediately lost interest. He seemed to be talking about something about food. This shows how poor food is in Jiang Wan's area.
This is already another province of the Ming Dynasty, and he actually sent people here to buy food.
The people in the room said a few more words, and the businessman stood up to say goodbye. Catherine walked in. The businessman who stood up and was about to go out suddenly saw a red-haired and green-eyed man in front of him, and he was slightly stunned.
Startled.
His feet immediately stopped.
"You Baihu, I want to go visit that city in Taiyuan and buy some clothes and jewelry. I came in a hurry and didn't bring these things with me..."
"Of course there's no problem with that!" You Yong laughed: "Miss Catherine, you are our guest. You don't need to ask my opinion on where you want to go. I'll ask someone to prepare a car, and then I'll accompany you, Miss Catherine, into the city!"
"What kind of car should you prepare?" Fan Yongdou, who had not yet gone out, said with a smile on his face: "This lady is a guest of You Baihu, and she is also a guest of my Fan. When we arrive in Taiyuan, how could Fan not
As a landlord, I'm familiar with Taiyuan City. It's much more convenient to have a guide to guide you than to find shopping places by yourself..."
He pointed outside: "I have a car outside, available at any time!"
Catherine didn't see such a businessman who suddenly appeared. She looked at You Yong, as if asking whether this person was trustworthy.
"Then we have Shopkeeper Lao Fan!" You Yong did not hesitate and nodded with a smile: "When I change my clothes, I will accompany Miss Catherine into the city. When I get here, I can't let anyone bump into you or offend you.
