From the moment she entered the North Street of the town, Princess Lu Jie involuntarily slowed down and looked around with her eyes.
As for the technicians behind her, they were like a cat that saw a fish, unable to walk at all.
In the end, Princess Lu Jie realized that she was slowing down the team, so she reluctantly speeded up her pace.
The one who takes the lead is faster, and even if the technician is reluctant, he can only follow and speed up.
Princess Lu Jie has decided that she must come back to take a look after the arrangement is completed. If it is really too late, she will also ask Jiang Wenwen to help her buy everything here and bring it back to others for study.
After passing the shopping area, there are rows of warehouses. There are horse-drawn carriages lining up at the entrance of many warehouses, waiting to unload or load goods.
After walking a few dozen meters, a fork in the road appeared. Xu Wei led everyone along the fork to the west and walked a few dozen meters before stopping in front of a warehouse.
"This is one of the warehouses of the salt mine. The door over there is for loading and unloading goods, so you can go to the warehouse. The door over here is for the dormitories."
Xu Wei pointed to the small door in front of her and explained: "When we used to rely on manual loading and unloading, there were many workers here. Now that there are cranes, so many people are no longer needed, so the dormitory is mostly empty."
The crane Xu Wei mentioned was not the gantry crane used in shipyards, but the relatively primitive hand chain hoist.
Although this manual lifting equipment is relatively primitive, it is very useful.
In the past, loading and unloading salt relied on people carrying bags one by one.
With the equipment, dozens of bags can be packed on a wooden board. The size of the wooden board and the size of the truck used to transport the goods are all in the same standard. When you arrive at the dock, use a small crane to lift one board at a time, and then carry it to the dock.
Once the cart is put on the cart, you can hitch up the mules and horses and go.
When you get to the warehouse, you don't need to unload the goods one by one. You can just use a small crane to lift the whole slab of salt away, which saves a lot of labor and time.
In the past, this warehouse required dozens of loaders and unloaders, all of whom were strong laborers. Now it only needs seven or eight people, and most of them are women in their forties.
Most of the dozen or so dormitories prepared when the warehouse was built are now empty. The beds inside are all good, but there are no beddings, and each bed has only a hard bed board.
"Your Highness, I have already sent someone to deliver the bedding. It should be delivered to you later."
Xu Wei said: "The conditions are limited. Your Highness will be aggrieved for a moment. Once you see off the Taiping, you will return to Xihewan. Then you can go to Xihewan."
“I’m very satisfied just to have a place to live. I’m not aggrieved.”
Princess Lu Jie shook her head: "I'm sorry, Miss Xu."
After hearing this, Binger, who was behind her, took out a money bag without Princess Lu Jie's wink, stepped forward, and handed it to Xu Wei with both hands.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I accept your offer, but we have regulations."
Xu Wei waved her hands repeatedly, then turned to look at Jiang Wenwen: "Platoon Commander Jiang, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."
Seeing Jiang Wenwen nodding, Xu Wei nodded towards Princess Lu Jie, then turned and left.
As soon as Xu Wei left, someone drove over in a carriage and delivered a cart of straw mats, bedding and the like.
These people also use the name Guan Xiaorou.
Princess Lu Jie did not doubt that he was there, and after rewarding the delivery coachman with a little money, she left her entourage to clean up the dormitory. She said something to Jiang Wenwen, and led a group of people back to the North Street of the town to start a shopping trip.
The majestic prairie pearl is like a little country girl who has never seen the world. She is curious about everything she sees and wants to buy everything.

Fortunately, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Eastern Barbarians are dying, Princess Lu Jie brought a lot of money to Dakang this time. In the East China Sea, the yard can buy whatever they want. Now there is no shortage of people to buy farm tools.
Small money.
When I go to every store, I almost always go shopping and buy at least one item of every item.
Jiang Wenwen, who was following behind, frowned secretly when he saw this.
Just now Princess Lu Jie said she would go out to visit the town, but Jiang Wenwen didn't pay attention and agreed.
She thought Princess Lu Jie was just visiting the town for a casual stroll, but who knew that the other party had turned on the shopping mode?
Although her impression of Princess Lu Jie has changed through recent contacts, she also feels that Princess Lu Jie's behavior seems a bit not good.
If Princess Lu Jie was buying consumables such as rouge and gouache, Jiang Wenwen would not care. However, Princess Lu Jie was not interested in rouge and gouache at all and only bought valuable things like farm tools.
These farm tools are not conspicuous, but they are the crystallization of the wisdom of the people of Sichuan and Sichuan. Princess Lu Jie just bought two of them as toys, but now she feels a little inappropriate to buy them so wantonly.
But I already agreed just now, so I feel a little embarrassed to stop it now.
Moreover, this kind of thing is sold openly, and it is easy to make it carefully. With Jiang Wenwen's understanding of Jin Feng, he may not stop it.
So Jiang Wenwen decided to leave it alone and wait until he saw Jin Feng next time to ask for instructions.
If Jin Feng feels it is inappropriate, Jiang Wenwen will confiscate all these things even if he offends Princess Lu Jie.
Anyway, she may not see Princess Lu Jie in the future, so she will be offended if she offends her.
On the other side, Xu Wei returned to the dock camp and went straight to the small courtyard where Jin Feng was.
This small courtyard is located in the northwest corner of the escort camp and was specially built for Jin Feng. It is empty most of the time, so Tang Xiaobei will come and stay when he passes by the dock.
After Xu Wei entered the small courtyard, she was led by Tie Zhui to the study room and reported to Jin Feng what had just happened.
No, I actually reported it to the Ninth Princess.
From beginning to end, Jin Feng was looking down at the information without looking up.
After Xu Wei left, Jin Feng put down the information and glanced at the Ninth Princess helplessly: "Wuyang, why do you think you are making such a fuss?"
Jiang Wenwen's suspicion just now was correct.
It is true that Xu Wei was not arranged by Guan Xiaorou, but by the Ninth Princess who pretended to be Guan Xiaorou's name.
This is what Jin Feng can't understand.
The Ninth Princess hated Princess Lu Jie so much on the dock, but when she came back, she took the initiative to help Princess Lu Jie arrange a place to stay.
Just arrange the accommodation, and use Guan Xiaorou's name.
"Husband, you don't understand this," the Ninth Princess explained with a smile: "Actually, this is also a kind of white face and red face. I am the red face and deliberately make things difficult, and my sister is the white face to win over, so that Lu Jie will see it.
There is no hope of negotiation, so I won’t feel that there is no hope at all and turn around and go back.”
"Don't you hate her very much?" Jin Feng became even more puzzled.
Whether it was her previous performance or what the Ninth Princess revealed in her daily chats, it could be seen that she did not like the Eastern Barbarian party items and Tubo.
But now, listening to her intentions, she actually wants to facilitate this negotiation.
