Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

After driving for most of the day, Su Mulan and her party finally approached Anlan County. However, it was already getting late, so they had to go to a nearby post station to find a place to rest.

This dynasty's post stations are divided into three categories: water horse post, express delivery shop, and delivery post. According to the different means of transportation, the inns can be divided into horse stations, stations, cattle stations, donkey stations, boat stations, etc.

The territory of the previous dynasty was huge, and most of it was inherited by this dynasty. The larger the territory, the greater the need for more convenient transportation. The post station system spread throughout the territory is important.

For example, there are four or five inns along the way from Qingsong County to Anlan County, and the two inns are sixty to eighty miles apart.

This ensures that even if the journey is very slow, you can get from one post station to another within one day.

Shuimayi uses horses and boats as its main means of transportation, but its main service targets are officials and businessmen traveling between various places;

Oxen, donkeys, mules, carts, etc. are the main means of transportation at the delivery station. The main business is to deliver military supplies, money, food and taxes to the court.

The express delivery shop is quite special. It does not use transportation. It mainly relies on delivery soldiers to deliver messages on foot. In principle, there is one pavilion every ten miles. In fact, due to the influence of mountains and rivers, the distance is not always ten miles.

The inn is under the direct control of the Vehicle and Driving Department of the Ministry of War. But in fact, local post station office funds are allocated from prefectures and counties. However, there is no station tax in the official tax of the imperial court.

Therefore, the funds for the inn are levied separately, which is a miscellaneous tax in addition to the regular tax. According to the money spent each year, it is apportioned to each household.

However, the main service targets of the inn are the imperial court. What should the common people do if they are on their way?

Where there is demand, there is a market. There will be private inns, restaurants, foot shops, etc. near various inns for unofficial travelers to rest and replenish themselves.

Some travelers, such as wealthy businessmen, will find ways to obtain the post talisman, which can be used to enter the post station for food and accommodation.

Those who hold the Yi Talisman enjoy free services at the Yi Station. Su Mulan actually also has a post talisman, which was specially given as a gift by Li Zhi County.

But Su Mulan believes that such abuse of the official station is not a good thing. There were a lot of people on this trip, and I was afraid that the inn didn't have that many rooms, so I sent Wang Sanhai'er and others to find an inn to stay.

Not long after, Wang Sanhaier and his two brothers came back with bruises and swollen faces.

"Brother Wang, what's going on?" Su Mulan asked as she got off the carriage.

"Girl, we have reserved a room, and I am about to come back to pick everyone up. I don't want another group of people to come to the inn to stay and take our room." The third child Wang said shyly and angrily.

After leaving Dazheng Village and joining the Su family, this was the first time Wang Sanzi had done something for his master's family. Unexpectedly, he messed up, so he was naturally a little embarrassed.

However, the three brothers were outnumbered by the enemy, and he was afraid of causing trouble to his girl, so he did not dare to fight back, so he came back in despair.

Su Mulan was not surprised by this. When going out, she would inevitably meet people from all walks of life. Led by the Wang brothers, Su Mulan came to the inn.

The inn is quite large, with dozens of rooms at first glance. At this time, a group of twenty or thirty people were carrying luggage, and the scene was quite grand.

Two shop assistants were receiving the group of people with apologetic smiles on their faces.

"Who hit me just now?" Su Mulan suddenly said after looking at it for a long time.

"Hey, whose eldest girl is showing up here? Those servants with no eyesight were beaten by someone outside of me. How about that?" A fat man stood out among the group of people, looked at Su Mulan up and down and said with a smile.

"For this member of staff, when staying in a hotel, there must be a first-come, first-served basis, right? You grabbed the room and beat my people, please give me an explanation!" Su Mulan rolled her eyes and said seriously.

"Hey, this little lady is quite hot. I'm going to grab her and hit you. What's going on?" The fat man hugged his arms and sneered.

"You are so arrogant. I think you have some background. Let's talk about it." Su Mulan was not in a hurry to fall out, and suddenly smiled.

"Girl, girl, this is Song Yuanwai from Shibalipu in this county. He just returned from selling fur goods. Don't offend him." The waiter saw that the momentum was not right and was afraid that the two groups would fight, so he stepped forward to remind him.

"Oh? That's it. Ye Yu, please bring me the talisman." Su Mulan felt a little more confident when she heard that Song Yuan was just a businessman, and turned to Ye Yu who was following him.

"Miss, since you have a talisman, why do you need to come to the inn?" The fat member Song saw the waiter introducing him outside. He was looking smug at first, but when he heard the word talisman, his expression changed slightly.

Those who can get the Yi Talisman, even if they are not official officials, must have official relatives and friends. Maybe they are official relatives!

"The post house is used by court officials and official errands. My lady doesn't like the use of official tools for personal use." Ye Yu said before leaving.

Sure enough, Ye Yu, who was born in the capital, was different. He frightened Song Yuanwai who was opposite him with a casual sentence.

"Miss, it's all a misunderstanding. It's all Song's fault for being eager to return home and being impetuous." He didn't wait for Ye Yu to get the talisman, and hurriedly came up to apologize, trying to make it a big deal, but it turned out to be a trivial matter.

"Member Song is very flexible and flexible." Su Mulan smiled. Since the fat man was timid, she didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After all, it’s better to do less than to do more when you’re new here.

"Haha, I made the lady laugh. There are enough rooms in the inn, but there is only one upper room. The lady is a noble person, but I am so arrogant." Song Yuanwai explained with a smile on his face.

"Then thank you so much, Mr. Song. Third brother Wang, who hit you just now, please fight back as you are." Su Mulan also smiled.

"Yes, girl." As if Wang San'er had received the imperial edict, he immediately rushed to the crowd opposite with his two brothers and slapped four of them.

Song Yuanwai's face turned pale as he watched, but he didn't say anything to stop him. Although he didn't know the details of Su Mulan yet, looking at her style and the maid's demeanor, he knew that he had hit a brick wall.

Su Mulan didn't want to cause trouble, but if she was timid when going out, she would only be bullied even more. On the contrary, the harder you pretend to be tough, the more people will be wary and not dare to provoke you.

Of course, if you encounter an official, you still have to avoid it. After all, the people do not fight with officials. Song Yuanwai gave up so quickly because of the same consideration.

Su Mulan looked at the clothes of the three Wang brothers and secretly blamed herself for negligence.

These three brothers came from Dazheng Village, and they still wore their own short brown linen clothes. Seeing that he was a country man, it was no wonder that Song Yuanwai casually ordered his men to start fighting.

Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others. This has been the case since ancient times.

It seems that when we arrive in Anlan County, we have to change everyone's clothes first. Otherwise, when these people go out to do things, they will easily be looked down upon and cause unnecessary trouble.

Compared with these three brothers, although the group outside the Song Dynasty were not dressed in silk and satin, they were at least clothed in cotton.

Su Mulan usually didn't like to wear brocade, but this time Ye Yuyan said that she shouldn't dress too plainly when going out, so he chose a fine dress from Xiangxiu Building for her.
