Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

He tiptoed on his round figure and quickened his pace to catch up. Several actors who were fanning themselves and chatting on the deck gave Xie Xian a strange look when they heard this. They thought it was a noble lady passing by, but it sounded like they were just picking up this young lady. This young lady was the real boss, and they were going to chase them off.

That wouldn't work, otherwise it would be too late to attend the grand gathering of elegant conversation. A smart girl ran to find Hua Dajia.

Everyone worked together to move the ox carts to the tugboat at the back. Xie Xian looked at this flat-bottomed boat similar to a Fuchuan ship and turned around with interest. The boat had a similar momentum to a building ship. The bow was square and wide, and there was a cabin in the middle of the boat. It looked like it was half man-powered and half wind-powered. This 100-ton boat was already considered a big ship on the Huai River.

Seeing that Xie Xian seemed to be interested in his ship, the captain Bo Cang hurriedly introduced it. He was very proud that there was no other ship bigger than his on the Huai River, which made him have a say in the clan. Although Xie Xian was the eldest son of the second branch and had little to do with him, for them, as businessmen, the most feared thing was bandits. Although the second branch had fallen, it sometimes had to rely on the protection of the second branch's Black Stone Guards. The female ruler of the Xie family was not confirmed, but he was unwilling to lose face for such a small matter.

"My lady, you can see more clearly from the room on the second floor." Bo Cang saw that Xie Xian was somewhat interested in the boat and every question she asked hit the nail on the head. He was not shy either. It was a rare occasion to meet a young master of the host family who was interested in the boat, so he started chatting freely.

"Uncle Bo Cang is indeed worthy of being the head of the Huaishui Cang. Just looking at the boat, I know you take good care of it." Xie Xian was also somewhat interested. The ancients were really amazing. It was unimaginable to build a boat without nails.

"No, this ship can last for a while if it is well maintained, but it can't be bigger, ah~" Bo Cang also felt a little regretful. His wish was to build the biggest ship, but the only raw material for shipbuilding in this era was trees, so it was difficult to make it bigger. The materials did not meet the requirements, which was also the limitation of the times.

"I'll come and bother you tomorrow when I'm free. Go and have a rest." It was rare to meet a son of the same family who shared the same interests with him, and it was comforting to call him uncle. In the eyes of this girl, he did not see any contempt for the lower class.

What Xie Xian was thinking was that in the future, all the companies engaged in logistics would be leading enterprises.

Qingdai watched helplessly as Xie Xian got to know the captain's entire family in less than two cups of tea. They were chatting very well and treated Xie Xian like her own nephew. She secretly complained that the lady didn't dislike talking, but was just too lazy to talk.

Seeing that she was a little dazed, Tu Zhen curled her lips.

But Tu Zhen had no time to care about anything else at this moment. Her face was pale and her head and feet were light. Although she was skilled in martial arts, she was a real landlubber. When she got on the boat, she felt dizzy.

Seeing her pale face, Xie Xian was puzzled: "Are you seasick?" Tu Zhen was embarrassed. She didn't expect that no matter how good a martial arts master was, one would still be afraid of seasickness.

Xie Xian had no choice but to let Qingdai take good care of her. There was no special medicine available at the moment, so she could only endure it.

Poor Tu Zhen had never been on a boat before, and only now did she realize that she was seasick.

"There is no cure for seasickness. You can only wait until you get used to it. It will be fine after a few days." Xie Xian comforted her. If the corners of her mouth were not so raised, Tu Zhen would have believed it.

For the next two or three days, Xie Xian followed the captain. She had taken off her cap and relaxed. She knew that she was pretty. There were so many women on the boat, but when they saw her, they were like seeing a flood or a beast. They fled in panic. Xie Xian only looked at her a few more times and then lost interest.

Xie Xian was very curious about the structure of the ship. In this era, there were no nails. How did the ancients build their ships and ensure that they would not fall apart? This was simply a mystery of the century. Xie Xian followed him around without any disdain. At first, Bo Cang thought that she was just a little girl's curiosity, but Xie Xian mentioned a few things about the layout of the cabins in later generations and the improvement of the sails, which greatly inspired Bo Cang. In particular, Xie Xian proposed the idea of ​​building ships with metal.

Bo Cang attached great importance to this idea. Although these ideas were fraught with difficulties, they were still a new direction. He secretly sighed that it was a pity that the queen was a girl. If she was a boy, she would definitely have a place in the clan.

The clan had long spread the word that Xie Xian might hand over the Black Stone Guard when he returned. Everyone understood that girls her age were all young admirers, but after spending the past few days together, he saw something completely different. Young Master Xian was gentle and broad-minded, and he was too easy to trust others. The most amazing thing was that he had brilliant ideas and was very talented.

If such a beautiful and graceful heir becomes a concubine in the harem, it would be a waste of talent!

Xie Xian, who was considered to be a talented person, now just wanted to enjoy herself and have fun. Hua Da had been paying close attention to Xie Xian since she came on board. She was well-informed and knew that this girl might be the queen of the second branch of the Xie family. She was worried. Artists were always of low status. She was afraid of attracting the attention of the nobles, so she restrained the servants from going on the deck. She only got off the ship when she arrived at Jingzhou City to find another way.

You Ji was a musical instrument specialist among the actors. Hua Dajia passed on a message that nobles had come on board. Although they were not famous actors, most of them were zither players, not opera stars in the opera world. He had been in the class for less than two years. His master said that he was too handsome, so he let him specialize in playing musical instruments.

"Oh, I wonder what the grand gathering of elegant conversation on the boat that Hua Dajia mentioned is like." He was young and couldn't sit still. Thinking about the guys eating on the wet bottom of the boat, he must not be careless.

You Ji muttered, "These three guitars need to be put up there to dry in the sun, otherwise they will get moldy. Then the Yueqin people will get angry again." You Ji frowned and wiped them carefully with the linen cloth in his hand.

The little girl who was helping nearby said, "This pigskin drum needs to be dried in the sun, otherwise it will get damp and we will have to replace the drum skin again."

"Then take it out to dry in the sun." Suddenly a clear female voice sounded.

You Ji and the maid turned around and saw the person standing by the warehouse door with her back to the light. Her thick black hair was tied into a ponytail and inserted diagonally with a white jade hairpin.

She wore a white cross-collared narrow-sleeved jacket, a red pleated skirt, and a half-breasted jacket. She looked both capable as a teenager and gentle as a young lady. The girl wore a black and gold waist belt, and one could tell at a glance that she was the daughter of an official family. Although her clothes did not make her look romantic and voluptuous, they had a sense of dignity.

The two people's exclamations attracted other zither players. Bo Cang slapped his head, ah, he forgot about these actors, but these old zither players showed some leniency, it would not be appropriate to drive them away directly, but he saw what Xie Xian meant.

"Madam, what about these zither players?" You tell me what to do.

Xie Xian didn't care. Seeing that everyone seemed to be in a stalemate, she just followed her heart and enjoyed the treatment of a noble lady.

She was always brief and to the point in front of outsiders. She had seen everything that needed to be seen on the boat in the past two days. She just wanted to find something new to satisfy her curiosity.

Hua Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this. The most feared thing for these old zither players was that they were useless. Now that the noble wanted to listen to music, they should hurry up. Maybe they could get some benefits if they served well.

The actors and actresses led by Hua Yin are all older. Kang Jian is now popular with entertainers and actors. This profession relies on youth. People like them who rely on their skills can only go elsewhere. They were invited to the Qing Tan Festival on Jishang this time. The old men were unsure. If they couldn't think of a few more pieces, they might have to disband in the future.

After setting up a stall on the deck, the musicians began to perform their best. Listening to the sound of stringed instruments, Xie Xian leaned against the bow and sighed silently. They had agreed to have fun. Although they were all masters of the zither, they only played a few songs over and over again. At first, it was fresh, but now I just want to sleep.

Jin Mingrui was having fun holding Xiao Cao'er, and Qingdai was enjoying it too. Compared to Xie Xian in later generations who was bombarded with information, it was a rare opportunity for them to listen to a professional band's performance, and they were not picky at all. However, Hua Dajia could tell from Xie Xian's expression that this lady was probably fed up with it.

They could also understand that Xie Xian came from Kangjian and had seen and heard everything.

You Ji was a smart man. He was paid a large sum of money to stay with Xie Xian for a bright future. He was reluctant at first, but after hearing the experiences of Jin Mingrui and his group, he had a different opinion of this young master Xie Xian.

"Young Master Jin, what kind of music are you popular in Pingcheng?" He followed Xie Xian for two days without her paying any attention to him. Now in everyone's eyes, he and Jin Mingrui are two brothers in distress.

Xie Xian was too lazy to pay attention to anyone and just immersed herself in her own lamentations. She wanted to go home after listening to it once, and wanted to go home even more after listening to it twice. Xie Xian leaned on the side of the boat and began to consider whether she could get back on if she jumped off now.

Qingdai was a little nervous. The music reminded the lady of her family and she had been in a bad mood for the past two days.

After hearing Qingdai's words, You Ji felt even more pity for the female monarch. She was similar to himself in that she had lost both her parents and was forced to be alone by her clan. He couldn't help but pay more attention to Xie Xian.

Tu Zhen was also caught by Qingdai, "Come and see the lady, it looks like her." There was worry in her eyes.

After several rounds of torture in the past few days, Tu Zhen was able to move on her own, at least she could walk without drifting. She squinted at Xie Xian and said, "Will she go to seek death? I don't believe it. Maybe she just wants to jump into the river to see if the water is cold." She spoke in a loud voice, and the children were startled for fear of poking Xie Xian's lungs.

But Xie Xian thought that it was already autumn, and if she jumped down now, it would be very cold regardless of whether she could put the clothes back on, so she decided to forget it! Then the children watched Xie Xian go upstairs dejectedly.

Stunned GPJ

Seeing Xie Xian turned around and walked away, the children breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Mingrui glared at Tu Zhen, but Tu Zhen was not angry and just grinned. How could she not know Xie Xian's temper? If she hadn't met her in person, she couldn't imagine that there could be such a lazy and greedy girl in the world. But she didn't make people hate her, and she couldn't understand it.

Hua Yin watched the interaction between the few people and felt that this lady was really good-natured. She didn't get angry even when the people below said harsh words. If...
