In order to prevent Ouyang Feng from doing anything wrong, Yu Qian'an took out a gold ingot and cut it into small pieces with his flying sword. "Find the carriage and buy it. Don't try to steal it. Take this gold. You'll have to pay for everything you buy in the future. You're not just representing yourself when you go out now. Don't ruin our reputations!"
Ouyang Feng: "Yes, Master, I am right."
Money makes things easier. Not long after the three of them arrived in the town, they found a good carriage. Originally, the owner was unwilling to sell it, but under Yu Qian'an's golden offensive, they finally bought the carriage at twice the price.
The carriage started moving, and Yang Jiarui was particularly happy. He chattered all the way, sometimes stopping to look at the scenery, and sometimes stopping in the fields to watch others work, as if everything in this world was full of novelty and joy.
Yu Qian'an also knew that Yang Jiarui was not happy because he saw the scenery, but because he was happy to play with him and the two of them could be alone together.
Yu Qian'an is not a piece of wood, and he is not completely unable to feel the girl's feelings. It's a pity that they are both survivors, and talking about love is a very luxurious thing. Yu Qian'an does not want to be an irresponsible person.
Besides, it feels like the system is everywhere in this crappy game. If something happens between us because we fall in love, it would be like a live broadcast, which is so embarrassing.
With the strength of the two of them, there is absolutely no problem in calling them gods in this world. The most cost-effective way to pass through this world should be to use the advantage of the two of them knowing the plot to crush them all the way with their strength and complete the task as quickly as possible.
However, Yang Jiarui chose not to cheat and just travel around to complete the task according to the plot, which is very irrational.
Obviously, she regarded this world as a world for just two of them, Yu Qian'an, and wanted to have a good love relationship here.
Time flows a hundred times faster. Half a year in the coastal town is enough for two people to live here for fifty years. Fifty years of life is a long time, and a lifetime will pass.
But Yu Qian'an couldn't be as willful as Yang Jiarui. Loving someone naturally meant planning for the long term. What would he do after enjoying fifty years? What if the enemy on the next journey was even stronger?
But seeing Yang Jiarui so happy, Yu Qian'an couldn't bear to say any words of persuasion. Five years, just stay in this world for five years, complete all the system tasks and leave immediately. At worst, they can still be together in the next world.
Love isn't just about mountains and rivers, movies, hot pot, spicy hot pot, milk tea, drinks, big plate chicken, ice cream cones...
And isn’t fighting together, going through adventures together, and experiencing the test of life and death together also a part of love?
"Look at those two puppies, they're in love!"
Yu Qian'an looked over and saw two Chinese pastoral dogs chasing and playing, biting each other happily on the ridge of the field, creating a leisurely scene.
But as they watched, the two dogs' butts stuck together, making Yang Jiarui blush: "Go, go, go!"
Yu Qian'an: "Don't panic, I want to criticize them. How can they do such shameful things in broad daylight, in a place full of people? How can they do such shameful things? How can they do such shameless things?..."
Yang Jiarui: "Oh, you're going to die, and you're still talking! Go! Old Huang, drive! Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Ouyang Feng smiled slightly: "Okay, Miss Yang! Go!"
After walking for a while, Yang Jiarui seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing incident. He opened the curtains and looked at the mountains in the distance: "Where are we going?"
Ouyang Feng: "Miss Yang, we are going to Jiankang Prefecture and from there we will take a boat across the Yangtze River. We are currently following the main road through Suzhou, Zhenjiang to Jiankang Prefecture, and we are almost in Suzhou now."
Yang Jiarui: "They say there's heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. When we go to Suzhou, we must take a good look around and try some authentic snacks. The food and drinks here are all natural, without any technology or harsh practices."
Yu Qian'an: "Alright, then stay for three days?"
Yang Jiarui: "Three days is not enough, at least seven days is needed. Aren't there Jiangnan gardens here? Let's go visit them too. Isn't it said that Suzhou gardens are the best in the world?"
Yu Qian'an: "It's not impossible to play for a few days, but it's more troublesome if we want to visit the gardens. We are not in the future where all the gardens are turned into parks and scenic spots with fees. These gardens are now other people's homes. If we rashly enter their homes, they won't allow us. We can't just visit like thieves all the time, right? What if the hostess in the backyard is taking a bath..."
Yang Jiarui: "Pah, pah, pah, you just want to have beautiful things, don't look at it!"
Ouyang Feng interrupted, "Speaking of gardens, the best are definitely those in Yangzhou. There are many wealthy merchants there, and their gardens are also luxurious and grand. Besides, merchants are easy to talk to. We can just borrow their identities and take a look."
Yang Jiarui: "Gardens in Yangzhou? I've never heard of them."
Yu Qian'an explained: "Yangzhou has been a place of rebirth since ancient times. It is located at the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River. Its status is similar to that of the Magic City in later generations. It was the base camp of salt merchants and Huizhou merchants, and they have been doing business there for a long time.
Otherwise, how could there be a saying that one can ride a crane to Yangzhou with a fortune of 100,000 taels? Only with 100,000 taels can one enjoy a god-like life in Yangzhou. Just tell me whether the consumption in Yangzhou is high or not.
When I visited Yangzhou before, people there said that Yangzhou cuisine borrowed from Shandong cuisine and Confucius Mansion cuisine, and was the basis for many dishes of the later Manchu-Han Banquet. The food culture was also very prosperous.
But later, the Jiannu invaded and attacked Yangzhou for ten days, completely destroying the prosperous Yangzhou that had lasted for hundreds of years. Although it recovered later, it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.
Yang Jiarui: "So there is this reason. They say Yangzhou was massacred three times in ten days and Jiading was massacred three times. I thought these cities just happened to be strong and the Jiannu carried out the massacre to intimidate the people. It turns out that they coveted the wealth of Yangzhou.
Then we must go to Yangzhou to take a look. Old Huang, what kind of identity do we need to be able to visit other people's houses in Yangzhou?"
Ouyang Feng was used to hearing Yang Jiarui call him Old Huang. "Miss Yang, the biggest merchants in Yangzhou are the salt and cloth merchants. All we need is a badge from the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office or an Inspector's badge from the Textile Factory. These wealthy merchants will be forced to invite us in, and they'll even prepare good food and wine for us, and give us nice gifts when we leave."
Yang Jiarui: "Then let's go to Yangzhou. But what about this government matter? Should we just threaten them directly?"
Ouyang Feng: "We just need to find the most powerful local official and feed him poison. If he cooperates, we can detoxify him after we have had enough fun. If he doesn't cooperate, we can just treat it as justice for the people. They are all corrupt officials anyway."
Yang Jiarui: "What if a corrupt official killed the wrong person?"
Yu Qi was relieved: "What are you thinking? There are good people among the officials. If we kill them all, there will definitely be some who were killed by mistake. But if we kill 99% of them, there will definitely be many who escape."
