Baise also has some understanding of the shamelessness of the iron chain.
Having delivered the person, Baise didn't want to stay any longer and took his leave.
Tie Xiong brought Baise to the Tie family.
Upon receiving the news, He Xiugu and her men waited at the door.
Seeing Baise makes my heart skip a beat.
This one seems to have more ideas than Liu Runiang; I wonder if the two of them can stay together for a long time.
Suppress your thoughts and welcome them warmly.
After a few days of getting to know each other, Tie Sheng and He Xiugu changed their opinion of Baise and believed that she was truly living with Tie Yi.
The more satisfied the two were with Baise, the more they cursed Tie Yi in their hearts; he ran away on their wedding day. It was as if he didn't want to live a proper life.
"Where did Uncle Tieyi go?" Ye Yunniang asked curiously.
"Your man called her away." Baise said this with resentment.
On their wedding night, the groom ran away.
From Baise to Beijiang City, they familiarized themselves with the surroundings while searching for Tie Yi.
After searching for half a month, there was still no news about Tie Yi.
Tie Yi sent a letter back, explaining that he had important business to attend to and needed to leave home for a year.
Tie Yi hopes that Baise will return to Jiangcheng.
Baise was unwilling and decided to wait in Beijiang City.
Not wanting to waste their savings, Baise, after some investigation, started a fur business.
With her husband's family backing her up and a large sum of money at her disposal, she quickly opened a fur shop in Baise.
The main purpose was to transport and sell furs to inland areas far from the border regions.
"Baise Fur Shop, you really know how to name your shop. It's so easy to tell it's your shop just by hearing or seeing it."
"My name sounds nice," Baise said proudly.
Baise made a vow from a young age that all her future shops would be named after her.
"You're just going to abandon the Baise Embroidery Shop?" He's been gone for two years, without even writing a single letter.
"I'm too busy to have time. Besides, you're here." Baise believed in Ye Yunniang's abilities and was confident that she could run her Baise Embroidery Shop well.
Ye Yunniang rolled her eyes at Baise, "What brings you to the Yan Kingdom again?"
"The furs of Yan are the best, but if there is a war, the furs will not be able to be transported."
I was thinking of making one last fortune before the war, bringing men to Yan to transport a batch of goods back. My luck wasn't so good." He didn't elaborate on the rest of the story.
“I was captured and thought I was going to die, then I ran into Jiang Mingzhe. He didn’t remember me at all. It was only after I called your name that he came to my rescue.”
Jiang Mingzhe brought Baise back to his stronghold in Yan.
She met her husband, who had been missing for more than half a year, in Baise.
Baise beat Tie Yi severely as punishment for his disappearance of more than half a year, and also to celebrate his own escape from death.
Then came the war, and Baise was forced to remain in Yan's stronghold.
Baise only then learned that Jiang Mingzhe had been secretly mining iron ore in the Yan Kingdom for many years after leaving Jiangcheng.
Many years ago, Qing Dynasty spies in Yan Kingdom reported that they had discovered an iron ore mine in an uninhabited area of Yan Kingdom. The mine was of extremely high quality and could be forged into a hundred-times-refined steel knife that could cut a hair in two.
It would be extremely dangerous for the Yan state to mine the minerals, and transporting them back to the court after they were mined would be even more difficult.
The emperor sent people to select someone in the Quanqing Dynasty who could accomplish this task.
Jiang Mingzhe, with his exceptional business acumen and decisive actions, caught the emperor's eye.
After the Jiang family's misfortune, the emperor sent someone to find Jiang Danzhe and gave him two choices.
Confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan?
Jiang Mingzhe was sent to the Yan Kingdom to mine for the Qing Dynasty. If successful, he would be granted the title of Earl.
Jiang Mingzhe didn't want to die, so he chose to take a gamble.
He led his men to the State of Yan and, based on the scouts' maps, located an iron ore mine. They discovered reserves of nearly a million tons.
Jiang Mingzhe used his status as a merchant to befriend the nobles of the Yan state. He then rented a piece of land from them to raise sheep.
The reason is readily available. The nobles of the Qing Dynasty loved to eat mutton, but they lacked the resources to raise sheep.
The pastures in the State of Yan were lush and the sheep raised there were of the highest quality.
After raising sheep, Jiang Mingzhe developed a series of ways to eat mutton, such as making dried mutton, air-dried mutton, and smoked mutton.
The sheepskin and wool were not wasted.
Sheepskin is made into sheepskin rugs.
The wool is cleaned, made into yarn, and used to knit sweaters. This is a recipe that Jiang Mingzhe bought at a high price from a young man in the Northwest.
Wool is a treasure from head to toe, and Jiang Mingzhe's livestock business is expanding more and more.
The mined iron ore was hidden in a secret chamber and transported to the Yan Kingdom.
But it's too slow; you have to be very careful every time.
Jiang Mingzhe suggested building an ironworks in the Yan Kingdom to manufacture the refined swords and transport them back.
Two years ago, Tie Yi was transferred to the Yan Kingdom by a single order. In a secret underground ironware workshop, he worked day and night forging weapons until Baise arrived.
The couple were finally reunited.
After two years of war, the Yan Kingdom was defeated, and its prince, who led the army, was captured. The Qing Dynasty emperor demanded that the Yan Kingdom pay ransom with two cities and their surrounding territories.
After much haggling, a city was reduced to a desolate wasteland.
The wasteland is an iron ore region.
With the imperial court arranging for troops to be stationed there, Jiang Mingzhe was finally able to go home.
"Halfway there, Jiang Mingzhe suddenly said he wanted to turn a corner." Baise said, looking at Ye Yunniang.
At the time, no one in the team understood why Jiang Mingzhe wanted to turn.
Now Baise knows that Jiang Mingzhe did this to save Ye Yunniang.
After speaking with Baise, Ye Yunniang returned to the tent.
Standing at the door, I hesitated, wondering whether to open it.
After a while, they lifted the lid and went inside. Jiang Mingzhe was not in the tent.
Ye Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief and went inside.
Ye Yunniang lay down, recalling what Baise had said.
"You need to be prepared. Jiang Mingzhe has made a great contribution. His future will be bright when he goes back this time. His wife ran away with someone else, and many people will definitely be eyeing his position as the legal wife."
"Don't be discouraged. You gave birth to his only son. He won't treat you badly."
Why are you crying?
"No," Ye Yunniang said, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Baise bullied you." Jiang Mingzhe reached out and hugged Ye Yunniang.
"No." Ye Yunniang shook her head, not wanting Jiang Mingzhe to ask any more questions, and made an excuse, "I just miss Mother and Pan'er. I wonder how they are doing now?"
“They’re fine with Bao Min taking care of them.” Jiang Mingzhe knew Bao Min quite well.
Ye Yunniang hummed in agreement and leaned against Jiang Mingzhe without saying a word.
Ye Yunniang fell asleep quickly.
Jiang Mingzhe took Ye Yunniang's quilt and turned to go find Baise.
"What nonsense did you say to her?"
“I didn’t say anything,” Baise laughed.
"I'll ask you one more time, what did you say to Yunniang?"
Tie Yi, who was inside the house, stepped forward to support Baise. "Commander Jiang, my wife is pregnant. She didn't mean anything by it."
"Tie Yi, you're helping him but not me." Baise was unhappy.
"Baise, I'll ask you one last time, what did you say that you shouldn't have?"
"My wife,"
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you." Baise recounted her conversation with Ye Yunniang.
"You should be grateful for the child in your belly." If Baise hadn't been pregnant, Jiang Mingzhe would definitely have taught her a lesson.
"Tie Yi has high hopes for your woman."
Jiang Mingzhe lifted the curtain and left.
Tie Yi looked helplessly at Baise, "Wife, why do you insist on picking a fight with Commander Jiang?"
"He ruined my wedding night. I'll remember it for the rest of my life." Baise put her hands on her hips, determined to get revenge if she got the chance.
