Chapter 173 The Darkest One is Marshal Fu
Xiao Yingchun stood up and Fu Chenan immediately reached out to help her.

Naturally, Xiao Yingchun's white and tender little hand rested on Fu Chenan's arm.

Although there was a layer of cloth between them, Xiao Yingchun could still feel the tenseness and strength of Fu Chenan's muscles.

This kind of power brings peace of mind.

Fu Chenan was a little agitated: the little hand holding his arm was so soft and white, why was it so hot? !

Could it be that Miss Xiao's wound was infected and she had a fever? !

Fu Chenan couldn't help looking nervous because of his worry.

Fu Zhonghai, who was standing behind him, watched his son supporting Xiao Yingchun as they walked towards the sedan chair, his eyes narrowed with smiles.

This daughter-in-law, it seems like there is some hope! Hahaha!

Two soldiers carried the sedan chair, and Fu Chenan followed beside them, walking towards the city gate in the direction of Tatar.

The city gate was closed, and as soon as Xiao Yingchun climbed up the city wall, he saw the prosperous scene above.

The huge sign had a large circle with an arrow in the middle and three rows of "I"s on the other side.

Under the huge sign, three groups of soldiers were positioned at the edge of the city wall, with plastic basins and Guangxi briefcases on one side and a table on the other.

The row of baskets on the table are filled with Cordyceps sinensis.

Each team has two people, one is responsible for receiving and sending goods, and the other is responsible for accounting...

The soldiers in charge of receiving and delivering goods used a rope to hang a large basket and lower things down. There were ten plastic basins in the basket.

There are three groups of people responding below. After getting the pots, they trade with the people queuing below. After confirming that everything is correct, they put the Cordyceps into the basket and hang it up.

The accountant above checked the size and texture of the Cordyceps and made a record of it in the account book.

On both sides of the city wall, soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands, pointing them at the people queuing below to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Xiao Yingchun was stunned and pointed at the sign hanging on the city wall and asked, "What does this mean?"

Fu Chenan translated: "One plastic basin for thirty cordyceps."

Xiao Yingchun suddenly realized: "So the big circle represents the plastic basin? And the three rows of sticks represent cordyceps?"

Seeing Fu Chenan nod, Xiao Yingchun fell silent.

Fu Chenan: "Tatars can't read, but they can understand pictures. If you draw like this, everyone can understand it."

The wisdom of the working people is infinite!
Xiao Yingchun clasped his hands together and said, "I admire you!"

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Yingchun raised a new question: "Cordyceps also has different sizes, how do we calculate this?"

Fu Chenan pointed to the Cordyceps on the accountant's desk and said, "One large one counts as three medium ones. One medium one counts as three small ones."

Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Then are these thirty cordyceps on your sign considered large? Medium? Or small?"

Fu Chenan: "Large size."

A plastic basin worth a few dollars in exchange for thirty large cordyceps...

Xiao Yingchun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Fu Chenan smiled innocently: "Originally we decided to exchange a pot for ten stalks, but my father thought about it and said we could ask if thirty stalks would work."

"Who knew that the Tatars also agreed."

Xiao Yingchun admitted defeat.

It turns out that the darkest one is Marshal Fu!

I am superficial.

Fu Zhonghai, who had been silent the whole time, took over the conversation: "The first two days it was bezoar, these two days it was cordyceps, and in two days we will need other herbs."

"A few days of angelica, a few days of Cynomorium songaricum, a few days of Cistanche deserticola, a few days of Codonopsis pilosula..."

"We take turns." Fu Zhonghai pointed down and said, "We collect medicine in large quantities. We only change the pots and buckets in the afternoon. The morning is reserved for local merchants."

"They would use money to buy all kinds of things sold by the Tatar people, and also sell some of the cloth, tea and salt that the Tatar people need for daily life."

Local businesses also need to make a living, and Fu Jiajun has no intention of making all the money.

Only by benefiting the people can they live and work in peace and contentment.

Xiao Yingchun was convinced and looked at Fu Zhonghai deeply: "Marshal, you don't do business, it's a waste of talent."

Business genius Fu Zhonghai laughed heartily: "Hahahaha... do you also think this is appropriate?"

"Oh my, we really think alike..."

After coming down from the city wall, Fu Chenan simply asked the soldiers to carry Xiao Yingchun and took another walk around Yongzhou City.

The once prosperous Yongzhou City has regained its vitality not long after being baptized by war.

Soldiers could be seen everywhere in the city, but the people were not panicked. They just went about their own business. When they saw a group of soldiers coming, they would just retreat to the side of the road and make way.

It was getting dark, shops were closing one after another, and people were hurrying home.

Xiao Yingchun followed Fu Chenan back to the Marshal's Mansion. Just as they sat down, Fu Zhonghai came back with a dark face.

"This bastard Toto knew that Miss Xiao had come to Yongzhou City, so he asked me if he could meet Miss Xiao..."

Fu Zhonghai did not hide the truth from Xiao Yingchun and told her the whole story while cursing.

Fu Chenan also understood: "You welcomed Miss Xiao with such fanfare, it would be hard not to let Toto know, right?"

After all, Yongzhou City was once occupied by the Tatars for decades, and it was Fu Zhonghai who led his army to retake it.

Fu Zhonghai laughed dryly and fixed his eyes on Xiao Yingchun: "Miss Xiao, the situation is like this..."

Fu Zhonghai talked about Toto's idea.

Toto wanted to meet Xiao Yingchun, naturally to discuss business. As for the place, any place would be fine, even in Yongzhou City.

Xiao Yingchun listened quietly and said calmly: "I will listen to the Marshal. If the Marshal asks me to see you, I will see you. If the Marshal says not to see you, then I won't see you."

Fu Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Yingchun's gaze: This girl is really smart!
That’s right, Fu Zhonghai was intending to test Xiao Yingchun.

He wanted to know what Xiao Yingchun felt towards Fu Chenan. After all, in this cross-time and space transaction, Fu Chenan was completely at a disadvantage.

Xiao Yingchun has full power to decide whether to trade with Fu Chenan, when to trade, and what to trade.

Fu Zhonghai was not sure that Xiao Yingchun only did business with Fu Chenan.

If Xiao Yingchun chooses not to trade with Fu Chenan and chooses someone else, Fu Chenan and the Fu family army will have to prepare early.

Who would have thought that Xiao Yingchun was so smart at such a young age and could react so quickly...

Fu Zhonghai was honest. Seeing that she saw through him, he bowed his hands in apology: "It was I, old Fu, who was mean. I apologize to you, young lady!"

Xiao Yingchun was surprised by his honesty, and the depression in her heart just now dissipated: "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run."

"The Marshal is also considering General Fu and the Fu family army. I can understand that."

Seeing that both sides had talked it out, Fu Chenan felt a little more at ease and looked at Xiao Yingchun sincerely.

"Miss Xiao, do you want to meet this person or not? It's up to you."

Xiao Yingchun was actually quite curious: What did the little prince of the grassland look like in ancient times?
She wanted to take a look.

"Then let's meet?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Fu Zhonghai stepped forward and left.

It was dinner time, so Fu Zhonghai decided to have dinner with Toto at a nearby restaurant.

Staff were deployed inside and outside the restaurant. Xiao Yingchun was carried in on a sedan chair. Fu Chenan helped her up and sat her down opposite Toto, who was wearing a brown brocade robe.
