Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

As long as he has enough manpower, his caravans can go to many places where affordable granaries cannot be opened.

Because his men needed to collect skins from hunters, they always used horses to carry the goods needed by the tribesmen. They would sell the goods along the way and then carry the skins back. They could earn double the profit.

Salt and compound seasonings are goods that do not take up space and have high profit margins. They are also the most popular and essential foods among the people.

This time, he would use this half truckload of seasonings as samples to recommend to the nobles in the tribe. If they welcomed it, then the next time he came to Beichuan, refined salt and seasonings would also be the two main items he would purchase.

Although the affordable granaries under the name of Prince Duanjing's mansion were opened in various countries, the tribes lived relatively scattered. It was impossible to set up affordable granaries in all counties, so this part of the business was done by his caravan.

Moreover, the freight cost of bringing these spices back from the fief of Prince Duanjing in Beichuan only added 10% to the cost. Compared with the price sold by the parity granary, there was at least a 20% profit. Therefore, the shops under his name could also sell these spices and refined salt as the main products.

He believed that these seasonings would be very popular. After all, for wealthy families who pursued a better quality of life, their masters were always very particular about the taste of their dishes. Therefore, seasonings that could make food more delicious were very precious. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

A few days later, he arrived at a tribal center where many nobles gathered and showed great interest in the spices and refined salt he brought.

During the demonstration, he had the chef cook several dishes using these seasonings and refined salt for the nobles to taste.

After tasting the seasonings, the nobles praised them highly and expressed their willingness to buy them on the spot.

He successfully signed many orders one after another, and the sales price was 20% higher than that of the affordable granary in Dafu City.

After all, it takes a lot of manpower and resources for the tribes to go to the big city to buy these things, and the journey is long, so naturally they prefer these things that are delivered to their doorstep.

Hongdu was filled with joy. This attempt allowed him to see more business opportunities. He decided to expand the caravan and increase the purchase of spices and refined salt to meet the needs of more people.

The second half of the journey of Hongdu's caravan was different from that of Disi's caravan. It happened to be in a place that Hongdu was familiar with, where there were his old friends and former partners. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the safety of the caravan.

The two teams, Hongdu's caravan, sold and received goods overseas. In the process, Hongdu was thinking about how to further develop his business.

He realized that his industry could not survive long-term by relying solely on the processing of fur and meat products, and he had to find new business opportunities. He not only had to bring back good products from other countries, but also had to bring back more competitive products from here.

Hongdu began to investigate market demand in other areas. After some investigation, he found that the market for medicinal materials had broad prospects, especially some rare herbs that were favored by the nobles.

Therefore, Hongdu decided to get involved in the medicinal materials industry. He looked for high-quality and high-end raw medicinal materials suppliers and learned how to identify and process medicinal materials. With his wisdom and diligence, Hongdu's medicinal materials business gradually took off.

At the same time, Hongdu did not forget to strengthen cooperation with Prince Duanjing's Palace. He regularly provided high-quality fur and meat products to Prince Duanjing's Palace, and the relationship between the two sides became closer and closer.

With Hongdu's efforts, his business empire continued to grow and he became one of the most watched businessmen in Haribam. His success also won him the respect and support of more people.

However, just as Hongdu's caravan was preparing to return with a full load, they received an urgent message.

It turned out that Jiayang learned about Hongdu's business operations in prison, and felt that Hongdu was taking advantage of his time in prison to increase his wealth and strength, and would retaliate against him one day in the future.

Although Jiayang was still in prison, his ambitions did not subside. He did not allow the power of the other three brothers to develop rapidly.

Although the new crown prince is the third prince Wenxuan, Jiayang is still most wary of the eldest son Hongdu.

On the surface, Hongdu is very gentle and tolerant towards everyone. He appears to be indifferent, easy to get along with, and not very smart.

Jiayang didn't think so. He thought Hongdu was the most cunning person.

As the old king's health was getting better, it was not a wise move to continue to fight for the position of crown prince. The best choice was to develop power in secret and make himself strong enough.

When the old king really dies, among the four brothers, whoever can survive until then, and whoever has the greater power and can conquer the world, will be the final winner.

Therefore, Jiayang has been asking his men to observe secretly, and will severely crack down on anyone who is secretly expanding his power.

Jiayang's trusted subordinates sent a team of assassins and cultivators to attack Hongdu's caravan.

Hongdu's caravan had already known that the future trade routes would be even more dangerous, so they had made all the necessary preparations.

When they passed by the cultivator supplies store under the name of Prince Duanjing's mansion, they discussed with the shopkeeper whether they could sell him talismans and drugs. These things were not originally sold to the public.

When Prince Hongdu sent someone to buy these things, the shopkeeper did not immediately refuse. He sent a pigeon to ask for instructions from the supervisor in charge of this business. The supervisors had already received instructions from the two masters and promised to prepare a sufficient number of binding charms, stiffening charms and protective magic circle charms for him. These charms were not very offensive and were suitable for resisting enemy attacks.

A lot of drugs and antidote pills were prepared in case the caravan encountered a large number of enemies or was poisoned collectively.

The members of the caravan, who were already highly skilled in martial arts, had already made psychological preparations. They were always on guard to protect the safety of the caravan's horses and personnel.

The drug and antidote were carried with them to prevent poisoning. Each person brought two bottles of antidote pills. There was no limit on the quantity of this drug, and the caravan bought a lot.

Unexpectedly, what was supposed to happen finally happened. Someone really took advantage of the caravan's night rest and secretly put drugs in the horses' food.

Because the horses were stunned, the robbers thought that if they did not give the horses the antidote, the goods would not be able to be transported the next morning.

They wanted to take advantage of the night when the caravan was asleep, use drugs to knock people unconscious, and then kill and rob them. Even if they encountered an expert who could resist their drugs and attacks, the horses were all stunned, and it would be impossible for them to escape with the goods.

However, they never expected that the people in the caravan had already taken antidote pills and would not be poisoned at all.

Even if these horses were poisoned, they would immediately return to normal after being fed antidote pills the next morning.

At night, the caravan members pretended to be drugged, and when the robbers broke into the house, they were drugged by the drugs that had just been spilled in the house.

That was a drug specially developed by Xiao Yunyan. Ordinary detoxification pills could not cure this poison. So all the robbers who came to kill him fell to the ground.

Afterwards, the caravan members tied up the robbers, searched their bodies for the antidote, and used it to detoxify the horses.

After dawn, the leader of the team looked at the robbers in front of him, thoughtful.

He realized that this attack was not accidental and there must be someone behind it.

In order to find out the truth, the team leader decided to leave two capable confidants in Beichuan to investigate the matter.

At the same time, he also ordered all members of the caravan to be more vigilant and protect the safety of people and horses to prevent any accidents.

The caravan returned as planned. The two people who stayed behind to look for clues about the robbers were nearly killed by those mid-level cultivators while investigating the case.

At the critical moment, it was the carefree girl who was tracking these people who saved them.

Just when the cultivators in the middle were casting spells on the two people, trying to freeze them into ice sculptures, the little girl Wuyou suddenly thought and took the two people into the space.

At the same time, he cast a fire spell at the intermediate cultivator who was casting the spell, burning the cultivator's eyebrows, beard and hair to ashes.

The little girl Wuyou didn't want to take his life, so she just used a relatively low-level fire spell to burn his hair.

At that time, this person was using a water spell - Three Feet of Ice, so he was able to protect his body.

Although he survived, his head was burned like a boiled egg. Not only was there no hair, but his face was also burned black by the small flame. It really looked like a huge boiled egg.

The sudden attack made this intermediate cultivator break out in a cold sweat.

With his cultivation level, he was able to rescue the man without him being conscious, and burn him to the point where all his hair and beard were gone. This man was definitely a master, his cultivation level was definitely higher than his, and the gap between him and that man was not even a little bit.

He knew that this man didn't want to kill him, otherwise he would have been burned to death on the spot.

The mid-level cultivator calmed himself down, clasped his hands together and bowed to all around him, shouting, "Thank you for your mercy, Master. I don't know how I have offended you. If you are willing to do me a favor, I sincerely ask you to show up and give me some advice in person."

The little girl Wuyou did not show up. She hid in the space, observing every move of this mid-level cultivator.

She thought to herself, this person has a strong cultivation base, why would he become a robber? There must be something hidden behind this. So, she decided to wait and see how things develop.

Seeing no one responding, the intermediate cultivator packed up his bag and left in a hurry. The little girl Wuyou followed him quietly, wanting to find out his identity and the mastermind behind it.

After following all the way, they came to a remote valley, and the intermediate cultivator entered a cave.

The carefree girl approached the cave cautiously and heard a conversation coming from inside. "Mission failed? What happened?"

"I met a master, and my subordinates are incompetent..."

Then several people started talking about this matter at the same time. Although their voices were not loud, they were all heard by the little girl Wuyou.

When Miss Wuyou heard this, she understood clearly that these people should be Jiayang's men.

She quietly returned to the space, fed the two people she had knocked unconscious the antidote, and sent them out of the space.

Wuyou wrote a note, clearly stating the identities of the men in black, and put it in the hands of one of them.

Wuyou did not show up. In the letter, he told them not to find out who helped them, but to continue tracking down the robbers.

The two woke up in a daze, not knowing what had just happened, but they were sure that someone had rescued them.

When the two found the note, they knew that there was a master helping them in secret.

The two decided not to pursue the robbers any further, as the note had already made it clear. The contents of the note confirmed their previous guess.

The two quickly caught up with the caravan and informed their leader of the intelligence they had obtained.

The leader decided to change the itinerary and return by a detour to avoid danger again. At the same time, he sent an envoy to report the matter to Prince Hongdu and request additional guards to ensure the safe arrival of the caravan.

After Hongdu received the message from the carrier pigeon, he immediately sent two masters to meet the caravan.

The two masters received twenty protective magic array talismans, ten stiffness talismans, and six round grenades from Hongdu.
