When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The guards over there have already cleaned up the battlefield.

Shi Yi and Zhou Zhen said, "Let's find a place near a water source to rest. We have fought two battles in a row today, so we need to recharge our batteries in case we can't stop at night."

Zhou Zhen went to make arrangements, and Shi Yi called a few experts and equipped them with some new weapons and medicine supplies, one bottle for each person.

The experts all looked at the fancy bottle with shining eyes.

The life-extender is here!

This medicine is extremely valuable and it is difficult to get even one from a girl.

This time the girl spent a lot of money.

hey-hey……

Zhou Zhen sent out the spies. He couldn't just wait for the bandits to come. He also needed them to play a role.

Zhou Zhen intended to cooperate with Shi Yi's deployment because he knew what it would mean to them if this trade route could be opened.

He was one of the first people to travel along this trade route, and in the future, the exchanges on this trade route might be inseparable from him.

The head of the Bai family will also make use of the caravan he is in charge of, and good days are coming for him and his brothers.

He must seize this opportunity no matter what and must not miss it.

With the information from the spies, Shi Yi adjusted the battle plan.

They picked out a few of the more brutal and representative large mountain strongholds and took the initiative to attack and wipe out the bandits' lairs.

Bandit: I didn't provoke you, so why did you come to my house? You don't want to give me a chance to live?

With lightning speed and timely action, they quickly occupied a favorable position.

Immediately afterwards, the development team arrived in a hurry, and the person in charge of Panlong Mountain was ultimately Manager Shang. He took over the captured stronghold without even catching his breath.

Manager Shang personally led people to raid the bandit’s lair.

There are a lot of good things in the bandit’s lair, not only food but also gold, silver and treasures.

There are also various cloths, porcelain, spices, furs, etc.

They were all goods from merchants traveling from north to south, and most of these merchants were killed by bandits.

Shopkeeper Shang: I don’t feel tired at all.

Really, it would be nice to have a few more copies of this.

Shopkeeper Shang cleared out these goods and registered them. These will become the first expenses for developing this place in the future.

Because we came in such a hurry and had to travel quickly, we could only travel light, so it was impossible to bring the funds for the renovation with us.

Unexpectedly, the boss actually handed over the financial and food resources of the mountain village to them, and the difficult problem was solved so easily.

While bandits in other mountain strongholds were soundly sleeping, the reorganization of the new mountain stronghold here had been preliminarily completed, and the transformation project was being carried out unknowingly.

Three months later, Panlong Mountain was completely transformed.

Teahouses, restaurants, inns, casinos, warehouses, horse farms, and banks opened one after another.

A trade route was opened silently like this.

There are still bandits in Panlong Mountain.

After all, they had only eliminated a few powerful strongholds;

However, as long as the caravan stays at the inn and pays a certain security fee, the inn will have a professional guard team to escort the caravan out of the Panlong Mountain.

It is said that the inn’s guards were the ones who wiped out the five largest strongholds overnight. They were so fierce!

Not only did they occupy the mountain village, they also started a business in it. This is a great curiosity of Panlong Mountain.

However, no one has figured out the exact truth.

At that time, the other bandits expressed disbelief after hearing it.

There are also a few fearless cottages that have joined forces to attack.

Ridiculous! Then let’s fight!

As a result, the bandits who came never returned, and later, anyone who dared to cause trouble would disappear silently.

After that, no one dared to provoke him for a long time.

Merchants traveling back and forth spread the news.

After this trade route was connected, it penetrated the northern and southern states.

From then on, goods from the south could be seen in the north, and the best furs from the north could be easily bought in the south.

Without the exploitation of bandits, merchants on this trade route became active and started to trade with their goods.

For a time, the 800-li Panlong Mountain became a place where businesses gathered.

Here, the Bai family business took the lead in displaying all its merchandise, occupying several exhibition halls.

Merchants traveling from north to south spread the Bai family’s products rapidly.

Merchants from anywhere can come to trade.

Is there any place in the country where I haven't heard of or seen the Bai family?

Later merchants saw the value of this place and followed suit.

They also contract exhibition halls to display their own goods, and once other customers take a fancy to them, they can trade directly with them.

The guards here patrol back and forth, so we are not afraid of anyone playing tricks. We are all doing business, and we have to be decent here.

Otherwise it would be very embarrassing.

The bandits who had not been wiped out had mostly fled, and even those who had not fled were all very well behaved.

When they saw the "Security Flag" with red letters on a black background, they would squat obediently. No one dared to rob a caravan with such a flag.

The village strongholds on Panlong Mountain have all recognized this fact. Those who dare to do business on Panlong Mountain are truly powerful and cannot be provoked!

During these operations to encircle and suppress bandits, Yaoguang "quietly" took action many times. She thought she was doing it very covertly, but in fact, someone reported it to Shi Yi every time.

Shi Yi admired Yaoguang but also felt guilty about him. She received a reply letter and learned that Yaoguang's family and even three clans were implicated.

The cause was indeed related to their workshop.

Now Yaoguang is still wanted by the government, and Shi Yi is extremely disgusted with the old emperor on the throne.

I have a deeper understanding of the tyranny and shamelessness of imperial power.

She secretly made up her mind to protect Yaoguang and make some arrangements for her to ensure her future life.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened and things ultimately went against our wishes.

Before Shi Yi could arrange Yaoguang's retreat, Yaoguang was unlucky enough to be pursued by government troops.

The sudden change caught them off guard. In order to avoid getting the caravan into trouble with the government, Yaoguang took advantage of the chaos to escape.

For some unknown reason, Yaoguang did not go to the place Zhou Zhen instructed, so he lost contact with Shi Yi for many years.

Now that Shi Yi has encountered it again, how can he just sit back and do nothing?

Everything has its own will and cause and effect. They owe Yaoguang and his people this.

Because the old emperor was seriously ill, some people in the court took the opportunity to commuted the sentences of some death row prisoners to exile on the pretext of praying for a blessing.

Among them are the three shining tribes.

Although Yaoguang's three clans were not beheaded, Yaoguang's family was not spared.

Shi Yi had already made arrangements for those members of the Yaoguang family who were exiled.

Although they suffered a lot on the way to exile, they were not bullied and arrived at the place of exile alive.

They were also taken care of in exile.

When the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, Shi Yi was not stingy and used 10,000 taels of gold to bribe the officials in charge of the matter.

He spent real money to secretly add the Yaoguang clan members to the pardon list, except for the Yaoguang family who had already been beheaded. Shi Yi really had no other choice.

All other tribesmen who were still alive were rescued.

Even so, Shi Yi still felt sorry for Yaoguang.

Yaoguang is the direct victim!

Otherwise, Yaoguang should be a young lady from an official family in Kyoto, being raised in pampered care by her parents.

She always wanted to do something for Yaoguang.

Otherwise, I would always feel uneasy with the little conscience I have left.

Yuheng: The girl still has some conscience.
