Chapter 288 Departure
Xie Shuangbai asked Xiaochun to serve tea and snacks, and then the few of them discussed the details of the southward trade route.
Ning Yuan does not have the ability to form a caravan, so he needs support from Rong Ye. After all, it is impossible to travel from the north to the south without the support of someone with strength and background.
Of course, Ning Yuan would also take out all the resources of the Ning family in the south and provide them to Xie Shuangbai to open up new markets.
Ning Yuan can also use this road to transport his own goods, which can be regarded as profit sharing. He also understands that in the final analysis, he still gets more benefits.
After all, even without him, Xie Shuangbai could still do it, it would just take a little longer.
This is also the important reason why Ning Yuan was determined to hook up with Xie Shuangbai again.
Moreover, he has already written to his sister-in-law, saying that he plans to live in the border trade area permanently, so that the Ning family will have connections between the north and the south.
He also stated that he wanted to set up his own business and not be involved with their property.
Of course her sister-in-law is willing, after all, they are from the south and the north, he
It can also expand the Ning family's industry.
So his sister-in-law used all the resources of the Ning family to support him and the prince in making the connection.
With this premise, things went very smoothly.
After they finished their discussion, Xie Shuangbai returned to the yard.
Rong Ye was already in the room, playing with Rong Chi.
"Haven't you eaten yet?"
Rong Ye: "Waiting for you, I'm not hungry."
Xie Shuangbai: "Then let's eat later. I'm not very hungry." He touched his stomach and said, "I just drank a lot of water."
Rong Ye: "Okay, how did your talk go?"
Xie Shuangbai's eyes were filled with smiles, and Rong Ye knew it was a success at a glance.
He said, "It's going pretty smoothly. I've reached a preliminary consensus with Ning Yuan. I'll take him with me when I ship the goods, and they'll assist Wang Yun when we get to Huacheng."
"You need to find some skilled veterans to transport the goods. The journey from north to south is long and you never know what will happen along the way."
Rong Ye said confidently: "Don't worry, my soldiers are all good at fighting."
Xie Shuangbai looked at the map and thought: "Actually, I'm wondering if we can take the water route. Taking the land route is too far and too risky."
Xie Shuangbai pointed at the map and said, "If we start from Luoshui River and head south, we can reach Huacheng in a month at most.
If we go by land, it will take at least three months, and if something unexpected happens, it may take even longer. Time is the most important thing in business, so I think we still need to open up a sea route."
Rong Ye: "Alright, let's open up a waterway that belongs to us. If there are any problems in the future, we can use it."
"So I plan to let the Ning family take charge of this matter, and we'll do the hard work behind the scenes."
Rong Ye understood Xie Shuangbai's intention.
"Okay, I'll let Rongyi cooperate with you."
Xie Shuangbai asked: "Are the soldiers in your hands very weak?"
Rong Ye was stunned, "You don't need to know how to swim to fight against the barbarians."
Xie Shuangbai thought for a moment and said, "You can select some skilled people. It doesn't need to be too many, thirty will be enough. They will go to the south, and they must be able to swim."
Rong Ye also realized his shortcomings.
"I'll let Rong Yi pick the right people tomorrow."
Xie Shuangbai thought about where it would be suitable to train and what he thought of.
He smiled and said, "It's summer in Rongye now, why don't we go see Jiang Feng."
Rong Ye was puzzled: "Jiang Feng?"
"He's building a hot spring resort, isn't he? It should be pretty much finished by now. We can train there. It's secluded and has water."
Rong Ye had forgotten that he had such a place.
He also thinks it's good.
Xie Shuangbai was still worried about the Empress Dowager. He asked, "Is there any movement from the court?"
Rong Ye has been keeping an eye on it recently, but after the Cai Siyi incident, there has been no movement from the Queen Mother.
After dinner in the evening, Xie Shuangbai gave Rong Chi a bath and found that he had several large mosquito bites on his body.
It hurts so much to see him.
He quickly took out the cooling ointment and applied it to him.
"Little Daddy, this is so cool and comfortable!"
"An ointment to repel mosquitoes."
"Little Daddy, do you have any more? I want to take them to Yibao Houcai and the others to clean them tomorrow."
Seeing Rong Chi's sharing spirit, Xie Shuangbai encouraged him even though there were only two ointments left.
Little Daddy, you can give it to everyone tomorrow."
"Thank you, little daddy." He said and kissed Xie Shuangbai.
Xie Shuangbai scratched his little nose and said, "Okay, the water is getting cold. Come out."
The next day, Xie Shuangbai went to find Si Yuzhu. He planned to give the children a two-month summer vacation.
Xie Shuangbai walked to his office, saw him reading a book, and knocked on the door.
Si Yuzhu saw Xie Shuangbai and quickly stood up: "Princess, you are here!"
Xie Shuangbai smiled and said, "I hope I didn't bother you. I came here to tell you that I plan to start the summer vacation for the children on the 30th."
Si Yuzhu: "Summer vacation?" He looked at the sky outside and seemed to understand: "That's good. The weather has been getting hotter recently. I was worried about this too. Now that it's vacation, I don't have to worry about the children's safety."
"Tell the children about this today. Also, write a letter to the parents and have them take it back. It should clearly state the holiday and school start times."
Si Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, I will talk to the other teachers later, and then write the letter, and have them take it back to tell their parents in the evening."
Xie Shuangbai added, "After the holiday, I will take Chi'er to the hot spring village. You can come with us."
Si Yuzhu's face was clearly smiling. Xie Shuangbai looked at him and smiled. He blushed again in an instant and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Princess."
"Then you should prepare in the next few days and bring what you need when the time comes."
Rong Yi came soon after I finished arranging the child's affairs.
He said, "My Lord said you needed thirty good men, but some of them are not in the camp. I need to send people to find them. I don't know when my Lord will need them."
Xie Shuangbai: "Just ask them to gather directly at the hot spring villa on July 2nd. You know the place, right?"
Rong Yi: "Is it the land at the junction of Prince Fencheng and Bincheng?"
"Yes, I have already sent people to build the manor. We will set out from the palace on the 30th. Just ask them to arrive on the 2nd."
"Yes, Master. I will make the arrangements right away."
“It’s best to find someone who knows how to swim.”
After these arrangements were made, things proceeded according to Xie Shuangbai's plan.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month and Rong Chi was on vacation. Qin Yan learned that Xie Shuangbai was going to train the navy, so he and Rong Ye applied to learn swimming.
Rongye approved his request.
Since Qin Yan was here, Yibao and Mu Ning were definitely there, so they followed them to the hot spring villa.
In this way, the original small team expanded a lot.
Xie Shuangbai and Rong Ye were in one carriage, while Qin Yan and Mu Ning were in another.
Si Yuzhu and Yantai shared a carriage. Xie Shuangbai also arranged a carriage for Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong.
Of course, they also brought a lot of food with them, and the whole team marched towards Bincheng in a mighty manner.
In order to play with Qin Yibao, Rong Chi went to Mu Ning's car.
Rong Ye finally felt that the world was quiet. The baby was not in the car and would not disturb the world of two people between him and Xie Shuangbai.
He hugged Xie Shuangbai and nibbled her. Xie Shuangbai was so hot that she started sweating even though there was ice on her body.
Rong Ye's fire was too strong. It would be fine in winter, but in summer it would really burn him to death.
He refused: "No, it's too hot, you're burning."
