No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

The large caravan transporting goods ahead slowly moved forward. The officers and soldiers guarding the city not only had to check people, but also the goods. In this way, it would take a long time to check a team.

Finally it was their turn for the motorcade. The soldier took over the road guide. When he saw one of the pictures, he stopped and stared at the words on it carefully. He was shocked when he saw it clearly. He immediately scolded the soldiers who were approaching the carriage. He changed from his previous laxity. His attitude: "Hey, Miss, when you come to Shandan, why wait until now? Let someone come up and tell us, then we can let Miss's motorcade go first."

The guard took back the guide and waved his hand: "The order must not be disrupted."

As the soldiers gave the order to let them go, their convoy finally entered Shandan County!

The convoy passed through the door opening in the thick city wall and entered Shandan.

Watching the convoy leave, several inspection soldiers came up and asked the leader who was checking the road guide three times: "Who are they? Who is Miss Lu? Why are you so panicked?"

"What do you know! In the carriage in the middle of the motorcade is the young lady who serves as the minister of the imperial court."

Everyone looked surprised. If this made this young lady feel unhappy, if they went back to cry to Master Zuo Pushe and hold Master Zuo Pushe accountable to the county magistrate, then they...

Shangshu Zuopushe is the most powerful official position in Dali officialdom today. Together with Youpushe, he is in charge of the six departments. Zuopshe is in charge of the three departments of Lihuli. To maintain any war, Zuo Pushe's authorization is needed to obtain the corresponding food and grass. Therefore, the most reluctant military attache in the world to offend is Zuo Pushe. If it's their turn to go out to lead troops, and they have offended Zuopushe before, there will always be a way of retaliating that will make people helpless. One of them is stuck in the review of food and grass for a few days, and they are the ones who suffer during these days.

Civil servants, on the other hand, are very self-aware and would not want to offend him.

"The daughter of Lu Shu, Lu Lu, a native of Chang'an. On October 12, the third year of Baoying, she set out from Chang'an, destined for Jiangzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Province. She arrived at Jiangzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Province on November 26, the third year of Baoying. On the eighth day of June, we set off from Jiangzhou, Jiangnan Province, and headed to Shandan County, Ganzhou, Hexi Province."

"On July 27, the fourth year of Baoying, we arrived at Shandan."

As soon as the convoy entered the city, Manager Zhang saw with sharp eyes the owner's flag, which was exactly what he expected. As soon as the convoy entered the city, many business cooks and innkeepers came running up. As soon as they saw it, they knew The people who could call the shots were in the middle frame, so they approached one after another.

The guards around the carriage were already on alert. Just when they were about to shout out a shout, Manager Zhang on the street immediately called to his men. When the crowds of people gathered around him, he led his men to run up and stop them: "You don't have eyesight." Yes, if you alert our boss, he means he doesn’t want the business of our Fengshengliang Store. Get out of here quickly and don’t get close to the frame!!”

Manager Zhang rushed forward with his people, and those who were surrounded by the guards scolded the idlers to disperse.

The people who came up just wanted to attract business, and no one wanted to lose the business they had already received. They didn't recognize the frame of the car, but they recognized Manager Zhang.

Since what Manager Zhang said was so serious, they didn't know the importance of it, so they all slowly backed away, no longer approaching the middle frame. When they backed away, they didn't forget to tell Manager Zhang: "Manager Zhang, remember to come back next time when you need to carry goods. Come find us!”

Manager Zhang was busy meeting the hostess and cousin, waving his hands to them to indicate that he understood.

When the motorcade reached a place where it could not block the entrance and exit of the city gate, Manager Zhang stood respectfully on the outer ring of the vehicle frame and bowed towards the inside of the vehicle: "My lady is well, my cousin is well."

Xu Dan's voice came from inside the car: "Manager Zhang, you don't have to be polite. Have someone take the convoy's goods to the shop, check them out and store them in the grain depot. You can follow us to the inn. I have something to ask you."

"Yes."

The convoy split into two, with the goods and carriages going to different places.

Although the two girls in the carriage were visiting Shandan for the first time, they both sat quietly in the carriage, obeying the rules and did not open the curtain to look at the street outside. After all, they had seen the bustle of Chang'an and the natural scenery of Jiangnan, so how could they be obviously interested in the streets of a small place.

According to the location given by Shu Fu, Manager Zhang personally led the carriage all the way to a five-story inn in the east. Now that the cousin was here, and there were a group of guards following her, Manager Zhang took his hand Xin negotiated with the innkeeper.

The innkeeper and the waiter had already received the letter and the deposit, and they booked the next floor for one month, saying that an important guest was coming. When he saw Manager Zhang coming with a souvenir, the shopkeeper knew that the person in the carriage was the "distinguished guest".

After the carriage stopped, two young women were seen bowing out of the carriage. When they straightened their upper bodies, most of their faces were covered by scarves, and their complete faces could not be seen. According to the shopkeeper's ability to recognize people at a glance, he guessed the two women. This girl must be coming to Shandan for the first time.

The two girls were wearing skirts made of fine silk material. The colors were bright and unusual for ordinary people. Moreover, the patterns and styles did not come from the northwest, but were more like the styles popular among the nobles of Chang'an.

Just when the shopkeeper was guessing the identity of the two women, he suddenly saw the golden phoenix hairpin on the head of the woman who came out behind, and his face turned pale with fright.

How can a little girl wear a golden phoenix hairpin?

He didn't dare to ask, but became more submissive.

The two little girls were wrapped in layers of guards, isolating Manager Zhang from the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was in front, bowing his waist and respectfully guiding them. In the eyes of all the merchants, the two girls came. When we arrived on the fifth floor, we felt that the environment was suddenly much quieter.

Xu Dan and Lu Lu came to the room. The shopkeeper had already opened the door first, and the guards went in to check before letting them in. Seeing this formation, the shopkeeper stood in front of the door and wiped his sweat, bending his body and never straightening up.

At this time, Xu Dan asked: "When we went upstairs just now, we saw that most of the people in the inn were students. Why is this?"

The shopkeeper immediately replied: "In five days' time, the second day of August will be the time when Shandan will hold the county examination. There will be a total of five days."

Xu Dan understood and nodded: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for informing me."

"No, no, since the ladies are fine, I'll take my leave. If you two have any instructions, send someone to call the waiter in the building to let me know." After saying this, the shopkeeper stepped back from the door, turned around and went downstairs.

The guards had already ordered the inn to bring food and hot water, allowing the two girls to change clothes, wash up and have a good rest.

Manager Zhang stood at the door, watching the guards take the food and hot water brought by the waiters from a distance from the stairs, and slowly set up the room.

Lu Lu didn't say a word since she got off the carriage. She just sat by the window, as if she wanted people not to pay attention to her existence and just say what she needed to say.

Manager Zhang thought that he didn't have much time to ask questions, so he simply told the lady everything about Li Erlang in order, including his two appearances on the bandits' revenge list and the process of suppressing bandits.

Just after hearing the beginning, Lu Lu finally became a little interested, but after listening to it, this interest also dissipated: "On the way here, I heard passers-by talk about the miracle of the copper ball. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. I didn’t expect that this juggler would be so greedy that he would become a bandit.”

Li Erlang's suppression of bandits was just incidental in Xu Dan's eyes. What was more important to her was the batch of garlic and the expansion of planting. The Hu merchants in Shandan were the biggest obstacle.

When there was only one target, and it was Li Erlang, who had a "bad reputation", it was too obvious for Hu Shang to take action. When there were many targets, they could create many conflicts, threaten and beat them as long as they quietly stumbled a little. These are two of the methods that have proven successful time and time again.

Originally, there was only one Li Erlang household, and the planting area was not large. Hu Shang was still worried about Jiangnan, so he didn't want to care about it. But now he wanted to expand his planting. As soon as the news came out, Hu Shang could no longer sit still. As the quantity of garlic increases, the price in Chang'an will drop. If it drops, they will make less money. This is like cutting off the flesh on their bodies. It is absolutely impossible.

After Xu Dan heard about it, he asked about Hu Suan: "How is Hu Suan growing? Did he ever say when to pull the garlic?"

Manager Zhang replied: "Miss, it's not that I'm partial to Erlang Li. I have to say that the garlic he grows grows very well. It's even better than the ones sold by Hu Shang. It's big in size and has bad garlic and small garlic." Very little."

Manager Zhang looked excited. If these garlic can be transported to Chang'an smoothly, he will definitely make a lot of money. Then he continued: "Erlang of the Li family estimates that he will be able to pull the garlic in early August. After the lady has decided on a day to go to Shangli Village, I will have someone tell Erlang of the Li family that the garlic will be pulled out on that day."

Xu Dan glanced at his cousin and asked, "How many days should we rest? Can we go on the second day of August?"

Lu Lu nodded indifferently. She had no interest in Hu Lian anyway. Her biggest interest in coming to Shandan was to watch the Bronze Ball Show, but that was gone now, so it didn't matter where she went.

After setting the time, Manager Zhang stopped disturbing him, said goodbye and turned to leave. Only Xu Dan, Lu Lu, and six female guards were left in the room.

They had been sitting in the carriage all the way, and it was the hot summer. They had been waiting in the carriage all morning, and their bodies were covered in sweat. After Manager Zhang left, they got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath together. .

The two of them soaked in the large bathtub, feeling the relaxation of all pores, soaking away their fatigue, and immersed themselves in this short leisure.

The two sisters were soaking in the water while chatting: "If it weren't for the government's order to suppress the bandits, we would have encountered many obstacles on our way from the south of the Yangtze River, except for those things with the eyes of roe-headed rats. The water route and the land route would be much more difficult to reach here than here." Now it’s twice as long.”

A few drops of toilet water essence were dropped into the water, exuding a burst of fragrance. Lu Lu agreed with his cousin's words: "The officials are wise and must have laid out a plan to suppress the bandits long ago. Otherwise, how could a strange phenomenon just appear in the sky, in the south of the Yangtze River?" All kinds of criticisms related to cults suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, no matter how hard they were suppressed, they couldn’t be suppressed.”

"There must be uncle's idea inside, otherwise why would he let you return to Chang'an after the situation in Jiangnan has stabilized. But I can't figure it out why uncle wants you to go around in a big circle to Shandan? How will you return to Chang'an then? ? Should we still take the official route? But wouldn’t it be exposed if we take the official route? Why go to such trouble? "

Xu Dan gently rubbed his cousin's face, which was as nice and soft as a tender egg: "If it weren't for your escort to escort me all the way, I'm afraid I would have to encounter some dangers to reach Shandan. Thank you cousin for escorting me all the way." I counted the flax and beans along the way!"

Lu Lu was rubbed so much that he bulged his mouth: "Dad has his own reasons. Just wait for news from him. It's a pity that the copper ball show is gone. I can only count beans during these days of rest."

"You!" Xu Dan laughed angrily at her: "I want to play chess and cards with you, but you are too lazy. I want to teach you embroidery and reading, but you don't want to. You just focus on grains. You, how can you develop this Hobby!"

Lu Lu tilted his head: "Maybe I should ask Manager Zhang what's more interesting."

There was a splash of water, and Xu Dan pulled his cousin up together: "Don't soak for too long when you are hungry. The rice porridge on the table will be cold by then." The doors and windows were closed, and they and the female guard were the only ones in the house. There are also female guards guarding them, so the two of them don't have to taboo anything.

They put on light clothes and silk trousers, wrung their hair, and came to the table. Xu Dan ate half a bowl of dense rice porridge before he responded to what Lu Lu had just said: "I'll ask you when you think of it. I'll be in the mood soon." That's it. It seems that there is nothing interesting in Shandan County. I know your character. You don't like wineries, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, cloth shops, theaters, racecourses, etc. Bai Qingshan Temple, the only place where you can go out and play, has also been sealed up. Now you can only look at the accounts with me in the room."

"I don't." Lu Lu ate rice porridge and refused in a low voice: "You only read half of the daily accounts, and the other half will still go out and check at the grain store."

Xu Dan asked her if she wanted to go with him, and was not surprised at all when she received a rejection.

Xu Dan sighed inwardly while drinking the porridge. In fact, my cousin's reluctance to go out is also to reduce the chance of encountering danger. After all, my uncle's official rank has reached the top, and he is in charge of the world's food, official promotions and etiquette. All ninth-level officials have enemies, and an official as big as my uncle will inevitably offend people. , in Chang'an, my uncle is watching, and my cousin can still be free. When leaving Chang'an, she must be cautious in everything, and her guards will never leave.

This time my cousin went to Jiangnan and came back to visit her grandfather.

More than twenty years ago, my grandfather was just a small official in Jiangnan. The two daughters got married a year apart. The eldest daughter married the former owner of Fengzu Trading Company. Now her son has taken over as the new owner, and Fengzu Trading Company has slowly developed into a large trading company. Behind the scenes, Zuo Pushe suppressed and controlled her, and weighed the left and right. Zhongfengsu Grain Store is just a small merchant and cannot develop into one of the top merchant houses in Jiangnan; the youngest daughter married a minor official who was sent to Jiangnan to work on grain taxation projects. Now the minor official has become a highly respected official and has become a minister. Zuo Pu shot.

My grandfather was suddenly in poor health, and it was inconvenient for my aunt in Chang'an to travel far away, so she had to ask my daughter Lu Lu to visit the old man on her behalf.

Lu Lu was also recalling that when he learned that he was going to Jiangnan, his father immediately arranged for many guards to accompany him, one to guard against bandits and the other to guard against rioters. When the government did not order to suppress the bandits, her father kept her at her grandfather's house. No matter how the officials sent by the government cleaned up the account books, changed the forces of various parties, and how turbulent Jiangnan was, he did not let her leave immediately. She returned to Chang'an to avoid the crisis, but waited for the officials to suppress the bandits and clear a relatively safe road for her.

The bandits are gone, but the forces south of the Yangtze River are still pursuing them. It will be better if they come to the northwest.

It was said to be a force in the south of the Yangtze River, but Lu Lu knew in his heart that the water inside was very deep, and he was afraid that Chang'an would be involved.

The road from Jiangnan to Shandan was full of dangers and turbulent waves. She knew what her father was trying to test, and now she had successfully reached Shandan. If she rode a fast horse, she could reach Chang'an in only four or five days.

But what to do next still needs to wait for Dad’s arrangement.

Now, what she is most worried about is the nightmare that has no beginning and no end.

Can she follow the route set by her father and return to Chang'an safely?
