The thirty-six states in the north are a place that Daqian both hates and fears. Since Yin Jinan has promised to keep it secret, even Zhou Lingyin cannot reveal a single detail.

A few days later, Zhou Lingyin came to see Yin Jinan and said that the matter had been settled.

"I was able to get two boats, one half-new and one new, both quite large, with the captain, helmsman, miscellaneous personnel, and the three classes of sailors under the command of the department leader. There were 20 people in the first class, 25 in the second class, and 19 in the third class, a total of 68 people on the boat, and I got them all."

"Is it reliable?"

"Of course they are reliable. It's easy for me to get dozens of people. Gang Shou Lao Liao, I talked to him and he agreed immediately. He has lived for forty years and has always had a dream, to go to the offshore. Not only can he bring these 68 people, but he can also recruit thirty or forty people from other places for me. Gang Shou also has them, and they are all experienced."

"Okay, you decide on it for him. And you can help me get his family to stay so they don't run away with the goods. I'll contact the buyer right away."

"He can't run away. I have found out where his ancestors are. When the time comes, you can send a few people to escort the goods on the ship."

Yin Jinan had never done any serious work in his life. This was his first time doing serious work, and he was very anxious.

He hates people like his brother and father the most, who always ask a hundred thousand questions every step of the way.

There is no need to worry so much in life, just do it, the worst that can happen is death!

It was impossible for Xie Zhaozhao to go out to look for Yin Jinan every day, so she asked Xu Li to go to the teahouse or the Colosseum to keep an eye on her.

Responsible for the communication between her, Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu.

Xu Li had never felt so comfortable before. He just had to wait for news on the street every day.

Yin Jinan was impatient but reliable. He was worried about the leader Lao Liao mentioned by Zhou Lingyin, so he went to meet him specially and checked all 68 people.

Finally, he said to Lao Liao: "This is my first time trying to make progress. If you mess it up, I will kill your whole family."

All the hairs on Lao Liao's body stood up. If others said this it would be a threat, but if Yin Jinan said this it must be true.

"Don't worry, Second Young Master. If Lao Liao doesn't get things done, I will stab myself to death first and notify my whole family to take a can of arsenic with me."

Everything was done. Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu rode to Qingyuan Teahouse. They saw Xu Li counting ants at the door from a distance.

The horse stopped in front of the Qingyuan Teahouse, and Li Yunmu called out, "Fatty."

Xu Li stood up immediately, with his arms above his head, ready to be beaten at any time.

Yin Jinan whipped him with a horsewhip, but didn't hit him on the head. He just made a "swoosh" sound as the whip tip broke through the air and cursed, "Get out of here."

"Okay!" Xu Li was very happy. Today's beating was gentler than before. Was his fate beginning to reverse?

Xu Li reported this to Xie Zhaozhao, who immediately left the house and entered the teahouse, where he found Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin waiting there.

Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin immediately restrained their usual frivolous and unruly manners and became very well-behaved. They greeted her and the four of them entered the private room.

When Xie Zhaozhao learned that Zhou Lingyin had already hired the captain, boatman, and miscellaneous staff, he knew that his bet was right.

In their previous lives, these people wasted their time and lived a foolish life. Yin Jinan competed with others for a courtesan and was chopped to death.

Not to mention Zhou Lingyin, who tortured each other with Xie Xiangxiang throughout their lives, and whose lives were a mess, and in the end, his entire family was slaughtered.

Li Yunmu was impeached repeatedly by the Censorate and was finally sentenced to death by hanging by His Majesty.

Before he died, Li Yunmu laughed loudly and said, "If I was born to be the head of a family, and was born to be cared for and taught carefully, who would be willing to go through this for nothing?"

Then, she would give them an extraordinary opportunity to see how they could turn themselves out of the mud.

"I will send people to seize the Baiyue cities in the south and open up business with Johor, Champa, and Xiandou."

She circled a place on the geomancy map, which was the legendary wild and untamed southern Xinjiang area: "We have occupied all these places!"

In their previous lives, Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan used Baiyue City as a transit station, purchased countless fresh supplies, transported them to Daqian, and made a fortune.

She didn't want to be a transit point, she wanted to take over this city and use it as her trading center and as a place to station troops in the future.

She wanted to fundamentally cut off Guan Yingying's future path.

"We will first establish a foothold in the south and have our own city."

Accumulate capital and then go north! She didn't say this, and exchanged glances with Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu.

In fact, she was very grateful to Guan Yingying. She learned a lot from her in her previous life, for example, women should be independent!

Only by being independent can you gain respect, respect that comes from the heart, not charity.

She had so much dowry that she wanted to make use of it instead of simply passing it on to the next generation.

She started planning from the day she was reborn.

There were several salt wells with rich reserves in the wild land. If she took them for herself, she would have the first capital to compete with the imperial court.

"Second Master Yin, this city belongs to you." She pointed to Shi'an City, not far to the west of Baiyue. "The name Shi'an suits you very well. There is a salt well with a very high purity here. I have long wanted to make it your territory."

She gave the Citong Wharf in the northeast of Baiyue to Zhou Lingyin. Compared with Shi'an City, this port was the most important.

Li Yunmu settled in Nanhai City, which is close to Xiandou. In the future, Xiandou’s white sugar, various condiments and high-yield crops will be sold from Nanhai City to the north and south.

After setting the goal, Yin Jinan felt like a fire was burning in his heart, and he wished he could roll up his sleeves and go into battle immediately.

His city!

His territory!

His salt well!

Although he was furious, he still said seriously: "Xie Zhaozhao, let's load a shipload of goods to explore the way first. Don't load them with valuables. Even if we lose money, it won't hurt us too much."

"Yes, don't spend all your money on it, explore the way first." Zhou Lingyin said, "Just pack things that are easy for us to get."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Then let's load the porcelain. I'll go say hello to the kiln master and load a batch of blue and white porcelain."

The best porcelain kiln in Daqian is in the hands of the Xie family.

After discussing, the four people decided to load porcelain, tea and paper into the ship.

"Pack some silk as well. The silk we have in the Central Plains may not be available in the Western Rong." Zhou Lingyin suggested going to Jiangnan to purchase a batch of silk to bring with them.

After determining the first batch of supplies to be brought, we continued to analyze the route and what to bring back.

In the previous life, Guan Yingying only opened the Xiandou route, which was not an open sea route but an inland caravan.

He bypassed the Holy Mountain from the west and got white sugar from Xiandou. The nobles scrambled for it and made more than 300 times the profit in one go.

However, the inland caravans were limited in the number of vehicles they could transport and the time was extremely long. The first time they explored the route, they walked for nearly two years and everyone thought they had died along the way.

Later, he cooperated with the prince to open a trade route to Johor, making a lot of money from various spices, ivory, etc.

Yin Jinan, Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin were all so excited that their blood was boiling.

Don’t say anything, just get started!

Doesn’t the family only value the eldest son?

I have Guanyin protecting me!
