I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Yanque smiled and said: "When the news of Yudu's fall came, I went back and although I couldn't find you, I heard that the Wangming Tower had changed. At that time, I thought, since the prince's brother If you are rescued, you may plan to restore the country in the future, so you will try your best to expand the mulberry industry, so that one day you can help the prince's brother."

Xie Wuyi was silent for a moment, looked straight into Yanque's eyes and said seriously: "Que'er, I came to see you this time just to make sure that you are living a safe life. As for the restoration of the country, the road is long and thorny. I don't want you to be involved in it."

When Yanque heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Back when I was homeless, it was the elder brother of the prince who took me back to the palace and gave me a place to live. Could it be that in the eyes of my elder brother, I am a person who can only share weal and woe? ? The country of Yu is my brother's homeland and mine, so don't I want my brother to restore the country?"

Xie Wuyi raised his hand and said, "No need to say too much, this matter is not for discussion."

Yanque frowned and pursed her lips for a while, then said forcefully: "If this huge property cannot be used by the prince's brother, it is meaningless in my hands. Tomorrow I will give it to others and go out to wander the world by myself. Anyway, I have no I'm a dear one, and the prince's brother's plan to restore the country can't tolerate me, why don't I just let me fend for myself!"

Xie Wuyi looked at Yanque in disbelief, never expecting that this once obedient girl has learned to be aggressive now.

Yanque looked at him for a moment, then turned to Shui Jing with some guilt, as if asking for help.

In fact, at this time, Shui Jing was also struggling in his heart.

Before that, he never thought of including Yanque in this grand plan of restoring the country. First, because he didn't know the whereabouts of Yanque, and second, because Yanque was just a child in his eyes, so it was difficult to help this plan.

But now that he learned that she was able to expand the Sangdi industry to this point in just two years, he had to change his mind.

The strategy of restoring the country must be supported by strong financial resources. Originally, Shui Jing’s plan was to use sea salt as a source of profit, but after all, it required a lot of manpower and a lot of preliminary preparations. The scale, and Yanque's loyalty need not be questioned. With her help, Jie Wuyi can save a lot of worries.

only……

Shui Jing's plan to restore the country can only accommodate ten people, but now the ten people are full, if Yanque is to be included, one needs to be eliminated.

Shui Jing looked at Jie Wuyi, then at Yan Que, and fell silent for a moment, already preoccupied, and said with a light smile, "Alright, since Que'er wants to contribute, you might as well get involved."

Xie Wuyi looked at Shui Jing in surprise, but Shui Jing didn't seem to notice, and said to Yanque: "But this property cannot be sold. If you sell it, you will only get a temporary profit and it will not be of much use. Only by continuing to grow it can the profit be able to continuously supply the needs, can you do it?"

Yanque's brows stretched, and she said cheerfully and confidently: "Of course!"

"Okay," Shui Jing nodded and smiled, "From now on, your task is to continue to expand the mulberry industry until it spreads all over Daluan."

Yanque clasped her fists with a smile on her face and said, "Obey!"

"Also," Shui Jing instructed, "From now on, the titles 'Prince' and 'His Royal Highness' can no longer be used, you can change them to..."

Shui Jing thought for a while, and said, "Master."

Yanque was startled, and then turned from kindness to Xie Wuyi and called out: "Master."

Xie Wuyi frowned and looked at Shui Jing, asking in disbelief, "Master?"

Shui Jing glanced at him, but ignored his doubts, and smiled at Yanque: "If there is no good use for money other than money itself, what's the point of sitting on mountains of gold and silver? Right?"

"Exactly!" Yanque said with a smile.

Xie Wuyi watched the two sing together, feeling really helpless in his heart, so he could only sigh softly.

……

Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi wanted to leave the next day, but Yanque tried her best to persuade them to stay. Today, they will be taken to see a shop in the city, and tomorrow they will be asked to help the staff choose a new shop location. This time, they will stay Half a month long.

After half a month, Yanque finally couldn't find an excuse, so he had to send them away resentfully.

When he was about to leave the city gate, Yanque gently tugged on Shui Jing's sleeve, pulled him aside, frowned and said in a low voice, "I always feel that I am not at ease."

Shui Jing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why?"

Yanque looked at Shui Jing seriously, narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that what you said that day was just to trick me into staying here, so that you can leave and never return?"

Shui Jing smiled helplessly, poked her on the forehead, and said: "What are you thinking about all day at such a young age? Don't worry, you, the 'God of Wealth', will be very useful in the future. Not high enough."

Only then did Yanque feel relieved, and turned serious and said: "I will definitely go all out and never delay my plan."

Shui Jing smiled and nodded, and patted her on the shoulder: "I believe you."

The two left Sangdu and went to find Shijiu and others according to the original plan.

When I arrived in Luangdu, the house where the salt craftsmen lived temporarily was empty, and the footprints in front of the house were still very clear. There were several brand-new nicks on the courtyard door, which were straight and curved. , both like a painting and like a word.

Shui Jing glanced at it and said with a smile: "They move pretty fast."

Xie Wuyi looked at the notch, a little dazed: "This is?"

Shui Jing didn't answer but instead asked, "Did you get the jade plaque I hung on your door on New Year's Eve that year?"

Xie Wuyi nodded, and Shui Jing said again: "This is the same as the words on the jade tablet. They are all in Gushuo Chinese, which is the predecessor of Qiongwen. It probably means 'smooth' in translation, and it probably means Shijiu. stay."

Only then did Xie Wuyi suddenly realize that Shi Jiu left the word here, which naturally meant that they had already been here and successfully took away the saltsmith.

When mentioning the jade tablet, Xie Wuyi remembered to ask: "What is the word engraved on the jade tablet?"

Shui Jing said: "Haiyan Heqing."

Xie Wuyi was stunned, he didn't know what to think of, he seemed a little lost, he gave a forced smile, and didn't say any more.

Shui Jing knew that for Xie Wuyi who had lost his family and country, these four words seemed a bit ironic, so he deliberately diverted the topic away, so he asked with a smile: "Then the jade card should have been lost long ago, right?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Wuyi shook his head and said, "It's still there."

Shui Jing looked him up and down strangely, and remembered that he had changed clothes for him when he was rescued from Yudu to the old woman's courtyard. She was sure that she had never seen the jade plaque before, so she couldn't help but wonder: " where?"

Xie Wuyi looked sideways at Shui Jing, and said, "I put everything related to Master in a safe place."

He paused, his eyes softened a little, and he said with a slight smile: "When the dust settles, Master will accompany me to get them back?"

Shui Jing looked at him for a moment, then smiled at him as if responding, but didn't say a word of promise.

After leaving Luandu, the two chased in the northeast direction for two days, and finally found the carriage and horses of Shijiu and his party on an official road leading to Baihe.

Due to the large number of saltworkers and the number of chariots and horses, it looks like a long-distance caravan.

After the reconciliation, there was nothing to say all the way, until they arrived at Maitian Pass where Huo Jiajun was stationed, Huo Jue arranged a residence for everyone, and they settled down temporarily.

To say that Da Luan's sincerity in wanting to recruit Huo Jue is indeed enough, not only allowing him to lead such a huge Guancheng alone, but also sending people to send some food and salaries to cover his expenses from time to time, Huo Jue sneered at these, but since After Shui Jing came to make a point last time, he began to accept Da Luan's overtures, paving the way for the next "surrender".

After the residence was arranged, Shui Jing gathered everyone in the Guannei Chamber, and mentioned to them about Yanque's joining.

Hearing that such a "rich man" has become an ally, which is enough to meet financial needs, most of the people are happy, but Shi Jiu looks at the water mirror without saying a word, his expression difficult to distinguish.

After the discussion, the night was dark, and everyone dispersed to their residences.

Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi walked side by side in the moonlight, the night breeze was blowing, and the old crows on the roof sang lowly, making the empty street even more silent.

Walking to Jie Wuyi's house, Shui Jing said: "You rest early, and follow me to Beihai tomorrow."

Xie Wuyi's hand that pushed the door paused, as if a little surprised, he turned his head to look at Shui Jing, his eyes full of doubts.

Shui Jing knew that he was wondering why he was going to Beihai, and smiled lightly, "You'll know when you go."

Xie Wuyi saw that he didn't intend to go into details, so he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded lightly in response, pushed the door open and entered the room.

Shui Jing didn't stay any longer, turned around and went to Shi Buyu's house.

Among the people who gathered at Maitian Pass this time, most of them had reasons for dealing with Daluan, except for two people, one was Fuqiu and the other was Shi Buyu.

After all, Fuqiu has passed his thirties, so he can clearly understand what he is doing. The only thing Shui Jing is worried about is this little mute. First, he is still young, and second, he follows Shui Jing wholeheartedly, but now Shui Jing He had other plans, so he had to give him a few more instructions.

The little mute was cheerful all day long, looking careless, but Shui Jing knew that the child was actually very clever and transparent, and even many adults might not be smarter than him.

Shui Jing spoke quite euphemistically, the little mute listened carefully, blinked his eyes half-understanding after listening, and said with a stroke: Will we meet again?

Shui Jing thought for a while, then shook her head and said truthfully, "I don't know either."

The little mute bit his lip and lowered his head sullenly, as if he was a little disappointed. After a long while, he raised his head and stroked: I understand, don't worry, my benefactor, I will obey the orders of my ancestors.

Shui Jing nodded, couldn't help rubbing his head gently, and said, "Don't be so sad, just smile."

The little mute blinked at him with big glass-like eyes, and managed to pull out a stiff smile, but it was far more far-fetched than crying. Shui Jing didn't hesitate to see it in his eyes, and patted his cheek lightly. It's appeasement.

Like a kitten, the little mute rubbed his right cheek against his palm, and then wrote slowly and earnestly: I will miss my benefactor.

Shui Jing couldn't help chuckling: "I will miss you too."

After leaving Shi Buyu's residence, Shui Jing didn't go back to her own room, but went to Shijiu.

The candlelight in the wine room was dimly lit, obviously not yet asleep, Shui Jing knew that he was waiting for her, so she didn't pretend to knock on the door and asked, and directly opened the door and walked in.

The wine gourd was placed on the table, and Shi Jiu was sitting by the table. Seeing Shui Jing walk in, he didn't intend to exchange pleasantries, and cut straight to the point: "Who do you plan to let out?"

Shi Jiu is the only one among these people who knows the whole picture of the plan. He had already told him all about his plan when Shui Jing rescued him from prison. Now that the plan has changed, it is natural that he cannot hide it from him.

"Replacement" is only four words, but it is not easy to do it. Judging from Shui Jing's prediction, this will be a process that lasts about a hundred years, and all the people involved in it are mortal bodies. Naturally, it is difficult to live a hundred years, so Shui Jing planned to use the fish tail as a memory for them early on, so that they can continue the plan after reincarnation.

There are nine fish tails in total, but one of them has been connected to Gu Ruo for her use, leaving only eight usable. Fortunately, Shi Jiu is a person who does not need to store memories but can remember them forever, which saves one seat .

According to Shui Jing's original plan, the seven on his list plus Xie Wuyi are exactly eight, but now that there is one more Yanque, the original arrangement is no longer appropriate.

Shui Jing listened to Shi Jiu's question, but did not answer in a hurry, but casually walked to the desk and sat down, put his hands on the table sideways, then looked at Shi Jiu, and replied slowly and firmly: "I am."
