After dinner in Gujian's courtyard, Daohua sent Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi to the guest house to rest, and then returned to the room.

Seeing Xiao Ye with his arms exposed, shaking a fan in one hand, and holding a letter in the other hand, sitting at the table to read, Daohua asked Gu Yu to bring a watermelon that had been chilled in the well water and cut it.

After the watermelon was cut, Daohua walked over with a piece in each hand, and handed the watermelon in her right hand to Xiao Yeyang's mouth: "In June, Ganzhou Wei is getting hotter and hotter. Eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst."<

/p>

Xiao Yeyang opened his mouth and took a bite: "Hmm...this watermelon is very sweet." He looked away from the letter and took another big bite.

Daohua was also eating, nodding and saying: "There is little water here in Ganzhou Wei. Due to the lack of water in dryland watermelon, after long-term accumulation, the sugar content will be particularly high, so it tastes particularly sweet and delicious. However, because there is not enough water,

The yield is not high, and the watermelons grown are also relatively small."

Xiao Yeyang: "It would be great if we can grow it. Xiliang is a vast area with sparsely populated areas. If there are more varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains, people's lives will be better."

Daohua said 'hmm': "By the way, this time my second uncle and third cousin came here. In addition to seeing us, they also came to inspect Xiliang. They want to come here to develop. What do you think?"

/p>

Xiao Yeyang: "This is a good thing. The development of Xiliang cannot be separated from the exchanges of businessmen. Xiliang is not peaceful now. The second uncle and the others dare to come here for development. This is quite courageous."

Daohua nodded: "The Li family's current business was achieved through the hard work of the eldest uncle and the second uncle. This is a lot of courage."

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "The exchange of caravans can promote the development of Ganzhou Guard. Since the Li family came here at a risk, the Guard should give some support."

As he spoke, he paused.

"I plan to hire Uncle Dong as my staff and ask him to help me implement some civil affairs details."

Daohua agreed with her face: "Uncle Dong has been the chief envoy after all. With his help, you can relax a lot. Civil affairs matters are inherently complicated. If you take care of everything, how long will it take?"

Three heads are not enough. But, do you need to tell Uncle Huang about this?"

Xiao Yeyang understood Daohua's worries, shook his head and said: "The second room of the Dong family was originally implicated by the eldest room of the Dong family. Uncle Dong's political achievements during his foreign tenure are still recognized by the emperor's uncle. Now I just invite him to be a staff member."

, and no official position was granted, so there is no hindrance.”

Hearing this, Daohua said nothing more and asked the maid to fetch hot water. After washing up with Xiao Yeyang, she rested.

The next day, after breakfast, when Xiao Yeyang was preparing to go to the guardhouse, Defu suddenly came in and whispered a few words to Xiao Yeyang, and then Xiao Yeyang said to Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi: "Second uncle.

, I will accompany you and your third cousin to go shopping today."

Li Xingnian smiled and said: "Will it delay your official business?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "It's okay. It just so happened that the five barren mountains bought by Yiyi were transformed into terraced fields. I also want to see them."

Seeing this, Li Xingnian said nothing more and followed Xiao Yeyang out of the house with a smile.

After the three people left, Daohua met Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu reported to Daohua what happened during the transportation of tea.

Hearing that he encountered bandits on the way, Daohua frowned: "I still say, safety first, even if you spend more money and hire more people from the escort agency, try not to cause casualties."

Qin Xiaoliu nodded: "I've written it down, little one."

Daohua saw that he couldn't hide his tiredness and said, "I've worked hard for you during this period. Travel to and from Xiliang will definitely be frequent in the future, so you don't have to come every time."

"Zhuangzi needs you to look after the shops in the capital. If you choose a few smart and steady people from Zhuangzi to train them, you can let them escort the goods on your behalf."

Qin Xiaoliu smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your concern, girl. I just took the route to Xiliang twice. I am not very familiar with it yet. I am worried that the people below will not do well and delay the important things of the girl and my uncle, so I thought

Lead the people below on more trips."

Daohua nodded: "You and others should pay attention to your health. It's extremely cold here in Xiliang in winter, extremely hot in summer, and the wind and sand are strong. Go back and tell the people below that you should go here every time in the future."

, everyone gets an extra five taels of silver."

Qin Xiaoliu said quickly: "Thank you so much for everyone."

Daohua: "We made milk tea in the kitchen. Before leaving, the escort agency and the people you brought will drink a bowl of milk tea every day to replenish their health."

Qin Xiaoliu thanked him again.

Daohua waved him off, and she went to the warehouse to check the tea delivered this time.

As soon as Qin Xiaoliu returned to the guest house where he lived, several strong women came over carrying several buckets of steaming milk tea.

"Steward Xiaoliu, this is the milk tea that Miss Guyu ordered us to deliver."

When Qin Xiaoliu saw that it had been delivered so quickly, his face lit up and he quickly called people in the yard to come over and drink milk tea.

"What is milk tea?" A young escort from an escort agency asked in a low voice.

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Milk and tea leaves are boiled together to make milk tea. This is a good thing. Madam is kind-hearted. I think you have worked hard to transport goods all the way here, so I specially made it for you to replenish your body. Come, everyone.

One bowl, after finishing it, we have to go back and make lunch."

Hearing this, everyone immediately happily took bowls to serve milk tea.

Milk is also a precious thing in other inland areas, and it is usually difficult to drink it.

This time to escort the tea, Qin Xiaoliu invited three escort agencies. The heads of the three escort agencies drank the sweet milk tea in the bowls, looked at each other, drank it quickly, and then went into the room together to find Qin Xiaoliu.

"What's wrong with you three?"

"Manager Xiaoliu, this is the second time we have run darts with you. You should be able to tell a lot about your abilities and personality. As for us, we want to continue to cooperate with Xiao Mansion."

Although the road here in Xiliang is difficult and not very peaceful, the rewards given by the Xiao Mansion are high. From the milk tea delivered today, it can be seen that the master of the Xiao Mansion is a kind person.

Such a powerful and kind-hearted master is undoubtedly what people like them who go out to run escorts want to meet most.

If we can continue to cooperate with the Xiao Mansion for a long time, we can not only ensure a stable source of income, but also effectively reduce the casualties of the escort agency by running one route for a long time.

Qin Xiaoliu used to be a dart runner. He understood the mood of the three of them. It was because he and his tribe met the girl that they changed their fate of licking blood for a living.

"I understand what the three of you mean. In fact, I also want to continue to cooperate with the three of you. As we all know about the situation in Xiliang, we need sincere cooperation to ensure the smooth completion of the escort."

"Cooperation is possible, but here I would like to remind the three of you that you must not harm the interests of the Xiao Mansion, otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences."
