Old Master Peng had four sons and one daughter. His sons were all generals with military achievements. His second son, General Peng Er, died in battle many years ago, and his second wife also served in the military.
Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has settled down, Madam Peng is not young anymore. When she went to the Western Regions before, she heard Cai Xiaolian and the others mention it. She really thought about it seriously along the way. After returning and discussing it with General Peng and Madam Peng, she quickly opened the escort agency.
The escort agency she ran was called the East-West Escort Agency, and its routes naturally ran in both the east and west directions.
The people in the escort agency were almost all retired soldiers. Last year, after they returned from the West, when she decided to open the agency, she took another group of people to the West to familiarize themselves with the roads and set up several points in the desert.
After returning from the West, she opened the escort agency.
The first order was from the Goddess Kingdom, along with some businessmen from Kunzhou.
Several sons from prominent families in the Goddess Kingdom accompanied King Liusha to the Western Lands to establish the kingdom. Although the Goddess Kingdom reveres women, some families still have their own favorite sons. Now that the roads are open, it is still worthwhile to see their children, brothers, and nephews once in their lifetime.
Therefore, several families in the Goddess Kingdom selected people from the past, brought various specialties from the east, and hired people from the East-West Escort Agency to escort them.
The women of the Goddess Kingdom are skilled warriors, but not all women are as strong as the Dugu royal family. They are still afraid in the unknown desert territory. With Madam Peng, who has been to the Western Lands twice, leading the team, they feel more at ease.
Besides the people from the Goddess Kingdom, there were also discerning merchants from Kunzhou who brought tea, silk, porcelain, and other goods to join the group.
For the first escort mission, Madam Peng personally led the team, which took three months to complete the round trip.
Because she had a lot of things to carry on her way there, it took her a long time. On her way back, she helped various tribes in the West bring things to the princes and princesses in the capital. Combined with the merchants from the West, she made money on her trip back.
Besides escorting caravans, they also accept letters. Currently, only the Kingdom of Goddess and some merchants need to exchange letters, but Madam Peng believes that there will definitely be more and more letters in the future.
After bringing the gifts for the princesses and princes of the West to the Royal Academy, she also told them the news: If you miss home, you can write a letter. Our escort agency will be faster than you sending people back. Besides, you don't have many people with you, and you yourself wouldn't be used to sending people out.
So, before Madam Peng could even begin to handle her son's wedding arrangements, the escort agency started taking on new orders.
She used her dowry to open a shop, and the Dongxi Escort Agency in the capital officially opened before Peng Erlang and Peng Silang got married.
Gu Xin also joined in the fun, wrote a letter to the King of Quicksand, and entrusted the East-West Escort Agency to deliver it.
Of course, Ali, the messenger hawk of the Sand King, could communicate even faster, but Gu Xin also wanted to test the speed of the escort agency.
...
Time flies, and it's already mid-March.
Following Gu Nian's instructions, Gu Xin and Gu Si completed the remaining experiments. After several failures, they successfully extracted the colors that Gu Nian needed.
Gu Nian then wrote to Xue Qianning, asking her to send a few trustworthy people over, saying that these colored fabrics would definitely sell very well once they were made.
