(a thousand words, revised in 1 point)

Wei Zhen made a tour and saw that the team was back on track and there were no abnormalities, then she returned to her place of residence to rest.

Mi Le and Li Dabai followed behind her.

"We will leave tomorrow. Brother Dabai will do the rest. I hope that when we come back next time, the Shunfeng sub-station and inn will have been built."

It won't snow here in winter, and the ground won't freeze. You can start work at any time. Of course, the ancients paid attention to auspicious days, but you can prepare other materials first.

Li Dabai thought so too, and since Wei Zhen had already dealt with Yang Jiajun, the most powerful obstacle, he could lead the villagers to work freely, and the speed would definitely increase.

"Don't worry, it will be done." If he can't do this well, what will he have in the future?

What's more, he has been practicing for many years, and now it's time to immerse himself in his career. Li Dabai is so motivated that he decides to stay up all night tonight, after reading Miss Mi's plan and Miss Zhen's drawings, he will also write down his own plan.

In the early morning, under the urging of the cockcrow, the sun stretched its arms lazily, smiling and shooting out the first ray of light.

That golden line shines warmly on the earth, reflecting the whole world into gold.

It’s a color that makes people’s eyes brighten, and it’s where the energy in the morning comes from.

As the day dawns, so is their future.

The downwind team had breakfast, packed their bags, returned to their posts, and set off on their journey.

Five carriages filled with goods were left behind at Jiuzhai Shibawan.

"Brother Dabai, who are these carriages and goods?" The villagers still don't know the plan of Shunfeng Station. They only know that most of them can go to Shunfeng Station to work, but they have no idea where they will work, what kind of work they will do, and how much they will pay.

However, they chose to believe in Li Dabai as their savior.

Therefore, yesterday's wild boar was shared with the Shunfeng team for free, and they had no complaints.

"This is the cotton and wool used by the Shunfeng team members from the Nine Villages to keep out the cold during the winter.

Of course, it's not free, but working to pay debts.

The price of cotton is the cost price at the time of purchase, which is not expensive, and the labor is distributed according to the work station.

Come, gather people, hold a meeting, and let's study the future development together.

Everyone must believe that days will definitely get better and better.”

Jiuzhai Shiba Village is still two or three hours away from Wencheng, but if you don't go to Wencheng but go directly to the next stop, the distance will be even closer.

Jiuzhai Shibawan has an official road that leads directly to Yancheng, and the distance is not too far.

"Yancheng has developed water veins and floods often occur. I heard that water conservancy construction has been under way there in the second half of the year. It is a big project. The person in charge of the construction is the prefect of Sichuan City, a branch of the Hongnong Yang family.

How many people didn’t expect that the Yang family could also do something human."

Butcher Pan said, sighing that the bad bamboos of the Yang family produced good bamboo shoots.

"Huh! There must be a lot of business opportunities there. If I have time, I will go and do it. For the long term, it will definitely be a good place in the future." It's a good place, with prosperous commerce and huge financial resources.

"That's right, Miss Mi must have good taste. If there is any good opportunity, don't forget me, brother."

"It's easy to talk about."

The downwind team maintained the same formation, chatting and laughing along the way, and arrived at Yancheng without any disaster this time.

When the sun's brilliance is wrapped in orange, there is no dazzling light, and the soft light pours down, coating the stones and plants on the mountain with a layer of gold, making the mountain city at dusk shrouded in the soft sunset.

However, the guards at the city gate were not very gentle. They were more or less fierce, looking like wolves with a green light.

Seeing the huge caravan entering the city, the originally listless guard immediately became energetic.

Even though this caravan looks majestic, their escort flags are unfamiliar and are not the flags of any aristocratic family or large caravan.

Therefore, the city gate guard's attitude was very rude, "Get in line, get in line! Everyone, get in line for me!"

Several guards were shouting while putting stickers on the cargo of their carriages. Their eyes looked at the cargo as if they were wearing silver symbols, but they almost didn't drool on the spot.

"What are they doing?" Mi Le asked doubtfully, having never seen such a battle before.

"Collect taxes?" Butcher Pan had never seen this formation before, but he could see what it meant.

Ha! These Wen Sang people are planning to use them as fat sheep to slaughter.

There was a group of guards, some with several men, some with horses, and more of them were looking for the goods very seriously.

"Which caravan do you belong to?" Surprisingly, one of the guards was literate and was holding a small notebook to take notes.

"Shunfeng Escort Agency." Butcher Pan answered truthfully.

"Where did it come from? Where are you going?"

"Come to Zangzhou and go to Guizhou."

"Are these goods all yours?"

"Half yes, half no."

"What kind of goods is this?"

"Cotton and wool." Of course there are other things.

“What’s going on with these yaks?”

"The New Year's gift I bought will be brought back to the south."

"Oh? Hehehe"

A burst of malicious laughter made people's hair stand on end.

After a few people asked a lot of questions, they went back without saying a word and ignored the Shunfeng team.

The place we went to was not far away, it was in the prison cell at the gate of the city. Looking from the window, those people were discussing them excitedly there.

"Guess how much they want to steal from us?" Mi Le narrowed his eyes and asked casually.

She traveled from the capital to the northwest and passed through many cities, but she never saw Gu Zheng and his party pay a penny.

"A few thousand taels?!" Looking at the attitude of those dogs, they couldn't bite them hard. Butcher Pan frowned and his eyes were cold.

"Haha, Lao Pan, you are still too naive and kind. You must know that human nature has been evil since ancient times!" Mi Le chuckled.

Aren’t human beings inherently kind? Bullying him for not having read a book, right?

"Ten thousand taels." Wei Zhen said suddenly.

Because she heard it.

And Mi Le can understand lip reading.

The brothers in Shunfeng gasped and exploded instantly.

"We traveled thousands of miles from north to south in one trip. We were exposed to wind, sun and rain, and we had to fight tooth and nail when we encountered bandits. We only made a few thousand taels, right?" a brother said angrily.

These prices were all public and were posted at the yamen door at that time, so every brother knew them clearly.

"Yes, even if we bring goods from the north to the south for trade, how much money can we make? Do we have to give it to them? Then what will we eat?" There are only more than 500 people in their team, so there is no need to spend money?!

Don’t you have to support your family?

Girls can’t make any money, how can they support their families?!

Therefore, the faces of Shunfeng's brothers all turned dark, and their eyes became cold and solemn.

The city gate guards who came back to deliver the official documents were shocked. These people were quite fierce. However, they were official, so they were afraid of a few charlatans?!

A few people made some mental plans before they dared to walk in boldly.

"This is your caravan's tax. Our Lord is kind and has given you a small change.

Five hundred people, five hundred horses, eighty vehicles, fifty cattle and sheep, and some goods.

We collected 10,000 taels of commercial tax, five carts of goods, and 20 cattle and sheep.”

The city gate guard handed the list to the leader Pan Butcher. After all, he was a man, so people naturally thought that he was the one who made the decision.

Butcher Pan took it for a look and then handed it to Mi Le.

Mi Le raised his eyebrows, what's there to see? It's all fake anyway, "Is there an official seal on your list?"
