Parents are busy farming

Beijing, Hong family.

One day after the Wang family arrived, before Wang Chuanxing's things were packed, a boy came to see him with a thick letter.

When Wang Chuanxing saw the familiar fonts above, an indescribable warmth flowed through his heart.

But when he opened the envelope and saw the contents inside, his face was full of disbelief.

Then he didn't dare to hesitate and went directly to grandpa's study.

Mr. Hong is a serious person, and children of the younger generation are not willing to get close to him.

When he heard the young man say that his eldest cousin wanted to see him, he thought he had heard wrongly.

Then he ordered the boy to invite Wang Chuanxing in.

Wang Chuanxing saluted after entering the house, looked at his grandfather, then at the boy, and said cautiously: "Grandpa, please step aside, I have something important to report to you!"

Master Hong saw Wang Chuanxing's serious expression and raised his hand to wave.

The boy went out very wisely. He closed the door before going out and stood outside the door to prevent anyone from intruding.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Wang Chuanxing immediately handed the letter in his hand to Mr. Hong.

Mr. Hong took the letter suspiciously. After seeing the words 'Wang Chuanxing personally expresses' on it, he asked: "Did Xiaowu write it?"

Master Hong only remembers Ye Zifen as Xiaowu, but no longer remembers her name.

As for how he recognized her handwriting, firstly, it was because Ye Zifen's handwriting was beautiful, and secondly, his old wife once showed off to him the letter Xiaowu wrote to her.

Wang Chuanxing was very anxious, but he still showed a calm look on his face.

He said: "Yes, it was written by Xiaowu, and the boy just gave it to me."

Master Hong nodded before opening the letter and reading it.

The more he read the content of the letter, the more solemn his expression became.

After reading the letter, he immediately raised his head.

Looking at Wang Chuanxing and seeing him standing there calmly, he nodded secretly.

‘This kid is a real talent! ’

Then Mr. Hong shouted: "Come here!"

The boy outside the door heard the sound, quickly opened the door gently, walked in, bowed his body and said: "Young man is here, please give me your instructions!"

Mr. Hong said: "Go to the Yamen and call some gentlemen back. Tell me that I have something important to discuss with you!"

Seeing Master Hong being so solemn, the boy didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly said "yes" and went to the gatekeeper to pass on the message.

An hour later, several masters of the Hong family came back.

Among them, the one with the highest official position is Master Hong, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, followed by Master Hong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Although the second master was born as a commoner, he studied hard, was awarded the Jinshi twice, and was protected by the Hong family, so his official position was not low.

Several other gentlemen are also officials. Although they do not hold important positions, they also know the affairs of the court.

When they read the letter, they were all shocked.

They did not expect that the Protectorate Guild would do such a thing. If what the letter said was false, they did not believe it.

With all the personal and material evidence available, it is absolutely impossible for the Protector to be unjustly accused.

"What does dad mean?" Mr. Hong asked.

Mr. Hong stroked his beard and said: "This matter can only be decided by the Emperor himself. Boss, you should go to the palace to see the Emperor now and report this matter to the Emperor. Be careful not to let others know about it. After all, the Protector of the Country is My sister is very favored in the palace!"

After Master Hong came back, Master Hong was then called into the palace.

When he came out, he carried a secret order with him.

Later, all the reputable officials in the capital knew that Mr. Hong Er had been appointed as an imperial envoy by the Holy Emperor and was going south to investigate the case.

Before anyone could react, Mr. Hong Er came to Beijing with the bandits and evidence. In the morning, he handed over to the emperor the letters between the Protector and the Japanese pirates and the bandits' confessions.

The Protector was thrown into the sky prison on the spot.

Soon after, he was beheaded.

Ye Zifen and the others only saw the rewards given by the imperial court to Magistrate Su and Zhang Huaiyu.

Little did they know that the Hong family was indeed the biggest beneficiary.

Mrs. Hong was promoted to imperial court, and several gentlemen were promoted, especially Mr. Hong, who was directly promoted to the minister of Dali Temple.

The status of the Wang family in the Hong family has increased even more.

The Hong family even invited a great scholar of the time to help Wang Chuanxing solve his doubts.

While Wang Hong was grateful to Ye Zifen, she also wanted to go home early and finish the ceremony with Zifei and Chuanren.

Mrs. Hong Er (the original Mrs. Hong Er, because Mr. Hong no longer serves as an official, the name of her family has been changed) heard what Mr. Hong Er said and knew that Ye Zifen played a big role in it.

With a wave of his hand, many gifts were transported from the capital to the Ye family.

He even secretly stuffed two thousand taels of silver notes inside.

When Zi Zifen got the gift, she couldn't laugh or cry. Although they didn't meet each other, Mrs. Hong's attitude of treating money like dirt immediately appeared in front of Zi Zifen.

Zhang Gaoyi's miserable life on the road finally ended, and more than 20 people finally arrived at the beach.

When Zhang Gaoyi appeared in the small mountain village again, he was warmly welcomed by everyone.

After learning that Zhang Gaoyi had brought more than forty taels of flour, everyone became uneasy.

"Gaoyi, how do you sell this flour? Why don't you just transport the grain here? Is this strange carriage specially used to transport flour?" asked the man who once went to sea with Zhang Gaoyi.

Zhang Gaoyi replied: "This kind of car is specially used to transport marine goods. If you have any fish in the future, you can sell it to me!"

The man's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and he asked sheepishly: "Can I exchange the sea goods with you for flour?"

Zhang Gaoyi nodded, "Of course. But it requires the freshest seafood."

So all the fishing boats on the beach went out that day.

Zhang Gaoyi began to sort out the flour on the carriage.

His carriage was designed by Ye Zifen. It had two layers, the inner layer was made of iron and the outer layer was made of wood.

The inner and outer partitions are not connected to each other. There are two layers of covers on top, and there is a thick quilt on the wooden cover.

After constant experiments, the two felt that this was the best way to keep the temperature low.

In order to get more saltpeter, Zhang Gaoyi made a special trip to Fucheng and bought up all the saltpeter in Fucheng. Only then did we get the amount needed for forty carriages.

After sorting out the flour, he went to several nearby villages to talk about the situation, and then he quietly waited for everyone to come back.

Two days later, all the flour on the carriage was returned to the villagers.

The price is not high, and their local flour is two cents less per catty.

Don't underestimate this penny, their more than forty cars are worth forty taels of silver.

In addition, Zhang Gaoyi did not lower the price of those overseas goods and settled according to their local prices.

So if shipping goods by sea does not make money, then they will most likely lose money.

But seeing how happy people were because they were eating cheap white noodles, Zhang Gaoyi suppressed those worries in his heart.

More than 40 cars set off back, using the same road and the same treatment.

It just takes longer to go back. Because there were seafood and ice in their car.

Zhang Gaoyi was afraid of tiring the horses, so he had to take a rest from time to time.

When resting, put water in the compartment.

There's plenty of saltpeter in it, so just add water.

These people on the rivers and lakes did not open it and look at the contents after setting off.

In their opinion, no matter what they do, they will lose money on this trip.

But no one said it. It would be more interesting to see the silly boy crying when he went back.

Of course, regardless of what they were thinking, Zhang Gaoyi was still recalling their tricks.

Think about the methods and pace of evasion and attack.

Ye Zifen was at home thinking about the disposal of the seafood.

In the end, I only thought of one solution, which was to open a restaurant and make seafood a signature dish.
