The Ninth Princess not only brought Qin'er Zhu'er, but also Qin Ming and a group of guards. It was impossible for such a big target to disappear from the world, right?
Qing Xinyao noticed that Jin Feng's expression was wrong and said quickly: "Sir, don't worry, Wuyang is your Majesty's most beloved daughter, and your Majesty will not make things difficult for her. My uncle and I both guessed that your Majesty took Wuyang away to protect her.
"
"Protect her?" Jin Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
"Wu Yang has killed too many powerful people this time. She has offended most of the top families in the capital!"
Qing Xinyao said: "In the past, when the powerful were fighting, they would not kill people directly. Wuyang broke the rules this time. If those guys knew that she returned to Beijing, they would definitely not give up."
"They all deserve to die!"
Jin Feng said coldly.
In fact, he also knew that killing the powerful would lead to endless troubles, so he was ready to rebel at that time.
But later the Ninth Princess asked for action, and Jin Feng felt that it was more justifiable for her to take action, so he agreed.
Even so, Jin Feng repeatedly reminded the Ninth Princess not to leave Sichuan.
With the current strength of the escort agency, in this area of Sichuan and Sichuan, no matter how many people are sent by the powerful, he is still confident that he can compete with them.
No matter what happens, we can definitely return to Jinchuan.
"Sir, Wuyang has been operating in the capital for many years and has many powerful connections. Since she has returned to the capital, she has made preparations. Don't think too much and just wait for news about her." Qing Xinyao advised.
"I understand," Jin Feng nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Qing, for coming to tell me this matter overnight. As long as Wuyang is fine, it will be fine. I will not mess around."
"That's good," Qing Xinyao hesitated and asked, "Sir, Mu Lan said that after you learned about Wuyang yesterday afternoon, you had some carrier pigeons released. May I venture to ask what you did?
Of?"
"It's nothing. I forgot to put out the fire in the laboratory stove when I left. Tell my wife to put out the fire so as not to burn down the laboratory." Jin Feng said casually.
When Qing Xinyao heard this, his face was filled with black lines.
If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Can you talk more nonsense?
It’s just a stove, as for flying homing pigeons?
And there were several released at once...
Jin Feng made it clear that he didn't want to talk, and Qing Xinyao didn't want to ask further questions. The two chatted for a few more words, and Qing Xinyao said goodbye and left.
It was already midnight, and Jin Feng didn't want to sleep anymore, so he simply sat down at the table and reviewed the matter in his mind.
The Ninth Princess insisted on returning to Beijing. There must be a reason why she didn't tell her.
But Jin Feng had no idea what the reason was.
He knew so little about the powerful people in the capital that he had no clue.
What's more, now the emperor is getting involved again.
I can’t understand it, and I simply don’t think about it anymore.
When I find the Ninth Princess, I will know everything.
Qing Xinyao was right when he said that the emperor sent the Red Armor Guards to take away the Ninth Princess, probably to protect her.
This made Jin Feng feel more at ease.
It was getting slightly brighter and Wei Datong arrived.
When he learned that Qing Xinyao was coming, Wei Datong wanted to go and see him, but Qing Xinyao went to bed, so he had to give up.
After breakfast, Jin Feng said hello to Qing Mulan, then took Bei Qianxun, Da Liu, Zhong Ling'er and others to leave the Dujiangyan construction site and rush to Maoling Town.
After inspecting Maoling Town and Qilang Town until the afternoon and confirming the plan to build a canal, Jin Feng led his team straight to Jinchuan.
The next afternoon, when we returned to Xihewan, Guan Xiaorou, Tang Xiaobei and Zhang Liang were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
"Brother Liang, how is the team mobilization going?"
Jin Feng jumped off his horse and handed the horse's reins to Da Liu.
"The brothers in the village have gathered and are ready to leave at any time." Zhang Liang replied: "The brothers from other places have also been notified, but they all have work on hand and need to hand it over to others."
Since experiencing the last bandit incident, Zhang Liang has strengthened the defense forces around Xihewan.
There are hundreds of people on standby in the back mountain training camp, and in places like Double Hump and Tin Can Mountain, the defense strength is several times greater than before.
"Veteran escorts are the backbone of various places. Will the deployment of 3,000 people have a big impact on the normal operation of the escort bureau?" Guan Xiaorou asked.
"Have you forgotten, madam, that we still have five thousand Zhenyuan troops?"
Zhang Liang said: "I am worried about how to arrange them. Now, sir, I have dispatched three thousand bodyguards. They will just go up. It can be regarded as training."
"Then wouldn't it be enough to just send the Zhenyuan Army to the capital? Why bother to do this again?" Guan Xiaorou asked.
"Xiaorou, the Zhenyuan Army is a regular army registered with the Ministry of War. It cannot approach the capital at will." Jin Feng explained, "But the escort is different. The escort can go anywhere. If someone finds trouble, I have something to say."
"I see." Guan Xiaorou nodded, "Although this is more troublesome, it is indeed safer."
"It's not too much trouble. Let's set off in batches with smaller targets." Jin Feng said, "Are the ammunition ready?"
"Get ready, twenty units have been sent out today." Guan Xiaorou said, "The Chamber of Commerce has another batch of goods going to the capital tomorrow, and we can bring ten more units."
"That's good." Jin Feng nodded: "Go to the back mountain to see the brothers."
…
Ever since Jin Feng made the jacquard machine, patterns have appeared on the cloth produced by textile mills.
This kind of cloth did not exist before Dakang. The coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary people did not have any patterns, and even the color was only the original color of the hemp thread.
The patterns on the clothes of dignitaries are basically embroidery.
However, embroidery is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
The price of new cloth produced by Jinchuan Textile Factory is the same as that of coarse cloth.
Therefore, once this patterned fabric was launched, it was warmly welcomed by cloth merchants from all over the world.
Cloth merchants also named this kind of cloth "Shu cloth".
Although the looms currently used in the textile factory are not the latest models made by Jin Feng, they are also ones he has improved.
Moreover, in order to employ as many people as possible, the textile factory had expanded its recruitment several times, and now several textile workshops were producing mountains of Shu cloth every day.
However, Tang Dongdong has been holding back and not shipping in large quantities.
The first was to kill Zhou Changlin in one go, the second was to stock up on goods to deal with the cold disaster Jin Feng mentioned, and the third was to release too much Shu cloth at once, which would have a huge impact on the market.
Now that the worst period of the cold disaster has passed, Zhou Changlin has also been killed, so in the next few days, teams continue to leave Xihewan with carts of Shu cloth.
Each team not only carries the flag of the Escort Agency, but also the flag of the Chamber of Commerce.
But in fact there were only two or three chamber of commerce guys in the team, and the rest, including Lifu who was pulling the cart, were also pretending to be bodyguards.
Someone asked about it on the road, and the escorts replied that the Central Plains was prosperous and there were many rich people, and Mr. Jin wanted to sell Shu cloth to the Central Plains.
The first stop is Beijing.
They are here to develop markets around the capital.
This reason is reasonable, but no one cares about them.
Team after team came to the Central Plains openly and openly.
