"Imagine the canal being opened, and pleasure boats sailing from south to north, harvesting wealth from all over the place."

Su Linger thought about it after hearing it and it seemed to be a good idea.

As for the income in Suzhou and Hangzhou alone, it can be said that the most prosperous period is only one or two months.

But if you go down the canal, who wouldn’t want to meet the girls from the south of the Yangtze River?

By then, the painted boat will be prosperous for twelve months.

Gambling houses can also be moved onto the canal.

Of course, the base camp in Suzhou and Hangzhou cannot be lost, and a group of newcomers must be left behind to guard the home and train and develop.

A month after winning the title of Oiran, I entered the canal route.

"Okay, as long as the prince brings his troops, the Su family will certainly help the prince open the north gate."

The North Gate of Suzhou and Hangzhou is the gate next to the Qinhuai River. After crossing the Qinhuai River, this is the closest and most convenient place to attack Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is also the focus of the opposite side's frontal defense and the most difficult gate to break through.

However, although the Su family is not as powerful as the Sun family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is not too easy to open and guard a door from the inside.

"Okay, now that we're done, Miss Su, would you like to have dinner together? If you have anything urgent, you can leave."

Although Li Xiuzhu's words were sincere and heartfelt, Su Linger was stunned.

Although Li Xiuzhu said that it had nothing to do with the courtesan, she didn't believe it at all, so she was a little hesitant when Li Xiuzhu asked her to leave.

Who knows if this bastard was playing her on purpose.

But she was obviously overthinking it. Although Su Ling'er did not leave that night, Li Xiuzhu did not ask her to sleep with him, and he did not even reveal any such intention.

So she slept in the guest room.

The next morning, Su Linger realized that she might have been overthinking.

When the flower boat docked, Li Xiuzhu took the three girls and a few boxes, said hello to Su Linger, and left.

Since the boat couldn't be taken away, he simply returned it to the Su family.

As soon as Li Xiuzhu left, an old man appeared beside Su Linger.

"Miss, the master asks you to go home."

Su Linger heard this and said without turning her head: "Let's go, I also happen to want to see my father."

As she spoke, Su Linger entered the pleasure boat again, and the pleasure boat headed towards Suzhou and Hangzhou City.

The power system of the pleasure boat at this time was semi-human, with two waterwheel-like fan blades as the power group, combined with a millstone-like wheel to rotate the waterwheel.

Although the boat speed is not fast, the stability of the boat is already very good.

Flower boats basically stop when they reach the river, and most of the boats used for transportation are small boats, so they do not require much power.

In other words, Li Xiuzhu had a special identity and had several boxes to be unloaded, so the flower boat docked.

However, since Miss Su wanted to return to Suzhou and Hangzhou, she naturally had to dock.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when Li Xiuzhu brought the three girls back to the military camp.

None of the five were surprised to see Li Xiuzhu coming back with three women.

Even the most jealous Huang Rong has a deep understanding of her own position.

Although Huang Rong guessed what might be in the box, she still opened the box to verify it.

Looking at the golden bars, Huang Rong suddenly sighed.

She and her ex-husband were controlled by Li Xiuzhu because of these things. The military pay was not even half of the gold.

Suddenly she felt a little pitiful.

In addition to giving 50,000 taels of gold, the head of the Zheng family also gave a box of jewelry.

The head of the Sun family only gave 50,000 taels of gold.

Li Xiuzhu opened the jewelry box and said, "Take what you like. The rest will be sent to Beijing later."

Then came Xi Honglei.

Compared with the gold hairpins and gold bracelets that Du Sanniang liked, Xi Honglei preferred pearls. She chose a huge oriental pearl ornament and a pearl necklace.

The remaining three women have all seen the world. There are countless treasures on Peach Blossom Island, and Bi Xiuxin has also come into contact with countless treasures as the head of Jingzhai. Even Nalan Mingyue was once a princess and has seen a lot of good things.

So Huang Rong just picked out a hairpin made of good-quality mutton-fat seed material, and chose a jade bracelet and a jade pendant for her daughter.

Bi Xiuxin chose two jade hairpins. A monk doesn't need so many decorations, and two hairpins to pin up his hair are already the best choice.

The mutton-fat jade hairpin goes well with her white dress.

But after she finished choosing, she suddenly looked at Li Xiuzhu, hesitated for a moment, and then picked a few jade earrings and bracelets.

A woman dresses up to please herself, and she needs to please this man.

Nalan Mingyue chose more.

She had nothing here, including only one set of jewelry. She had wanted to buy some for a long time, but had never found the right opportunity.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After the five people had made their selection, Li Xiuzhu signaled to Li Canghai's three daughters, and the three daughters then stepped forward to start making their selection.

Li Canghai simply picked up a red and white coral hairpin.

Zheng Xiu picked up a jade brush and inkstone.

Sun Youling selected more than ten pieces of jewelry.

Li Xiuzhu knew that Li Canghai had his own jewelry box, so he looked at Zheng Xiu and asked, "Xiu'er, don't you want to choose two pieces of jewelry?"

Zheng Xiu smiled and said, "Before I came out, my uncle prepared some jewelry for me, and I also brought my usual jewelry with me, so I'm not short of anything."

"This inkstone looks pleasing to the eye and suits my taste."

"If I had known that uncle had this treasure, I would have definitely asked for it a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Sun Youling suddenly felt a little inferior. She, the daughter of the head of the family, was treated worse than a branch of the family.

You have to know that she couldn't bring anything with her except the things on her body. Although as long as the prince was still there, her things would not be taken away, but in fact she didn't have anything particularly valuable.

She bought all her jewelry with her own monthly allowance.

"Someone come!"

Following Li Xiuzhu's order, one of the two maids outside the door immediately walked in.

"Your Majesty."

"Go and call Niu Jinlie in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Xiuzhu then looked at the five women, hesitated for a moment and then looked at Xi Honglei, and said, "Honglei, take the gold back to Shangjing City tomorrow morning. I don't feel comfortable without an expert to watch over so much gold."

Xi Honglei was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would have to go back so soon after coming out.

To be honest, she was a little reluctant, but seeing so much gold, it really needed someone to escort it.

Sanniang is better at serving people than her, and the master needs her care.

That bright moon is not yet peerless, and it is easy to encounter danger during the escort.

She felt that Huang Rong was a possibility, but she thought that Huang Rong's stay would be more useful, especially the Beggar Gang's intelligence network, which was what they needed.

As for Bi Xiuxin, she was originally an enemy, although she has surrendered now.

But if someone runs away with the gold and silver when you deliver the gift, you will never be able to find it again.

Moreover, now the other party has obtained the secret manual of magical skills that she wanted and entered an unparalleled realm.

Well, it seems that I am the only one suitable for this trip.
