Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

Having said this, Pan Yunpeng had a proud smile on his face, but soon, the smile disappeared.

Because he knew very well how the Shunfeng Escort Agency got its current status.

It's a bit boring to show off this in front of the alliance partners...

After reacting, Pan Yunpeng was a little embarrassed and immediately changed the subject: "Brother Fu, there is something I have always been curious about, but I just couldn't find a chance to ask. Now that I have left the city, can I know what you entrusted me to transport?" What exactly is this batch of goods?”

Saying that, Pan Yunpeng quickly added: "Of course, if you can't say it, forget it."

Lin Zhongtian leaned back on the cushions and said with a smile: "There is nothing that cannot be said, just the seeds in the seed bank of Shanglin Garden, as well as some grown crops, and the medical books compiled by the Taiyuan Hospital, Xu Guangqi, the bachelor of Wenyuange The translated "Elements of Geometry" and the first draft of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "Sweet Potato Essay", "Agricultural Relics Miscellaneous Essay", etc."

"..."

Pan Yunpeng's eyes widened and he was stunned.

Lin Zhongtian paused and said with emotion: "There are so many good things in the capital. I am only one person and I can't take them all. When you can come to the capital openly in the future, you will definitely go there again!"

Pan Yunpeng calmed down and said with a chuckle: "Brother Fu is joking. When we can come to the capital openly, it means that the entire capital is already in our pocket."

“Since it’s already in the bag, why bother with it?”

"makes sense."

Lin Zhongtian nodded.

Doctor Zhang, who had been listening quietly next to him, looked excited at this moment. After holding it in for a while, he still couldn't hold it back.

"Mr. Fu, you just said that there are medical books compiled by Taiyuan Hospital in the past in that batch of goods?"

"..." Lin Zhongtian and Pan Yunpeng looked at each other and said with a smile, "Uncle is tempted?"

"That's such a hospital!"

Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by Lin Zhongtian, Doctor Zhang became calm and said solemnly: "There are thirteen medical departments under the Tai Hospital, and each department has Xinglin Sage with exquisite medical skills. I am ashamed to say that I have been practicing medicine to this day. It has been forty-three years and I have had no less than ten teachers, but I have benefited most from the teachings of the former dean of the Taiyuan Hospital."

"Now that I have the opportunity to read the works of these Xinglin sages, I will naturally be moved."

Lin Zhongtian nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be impatient. When we get there, these medical books will be under our control. I just hope that my uncle can put aside his scholasticism and teach medical skills to students who are interested in this in the future."

Doctor Zhang was slightly startled, remembering what Zhao Lihe once said to him, and couldn't help but ask, "You want to open a medical school?"

Pan Yunpeng nodded: "I have this plan, but I don't know if Uncle Zhang is willing to take over."

Doctor Zhang looked solemn, straightened his robe, cupped his hands and said, "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask for your ear."

…

…

In this era where transportation relies entirely on legs, carriages and horses, traveling long distances is a very hard and tiring task.

The time taken often needs to be calculated in months, especially when there are more than a dozen carriages loaded with goods in the convoy and hundreds of bodyguards guarding them, this time will be extended several times.

Naturally, ordinary bandits would not dare to touch such a large escort team.

But even so, Pan Yunpeng still dealt with the green forest heroes in strict accordance with the rules of dart transport, just like his father.

Just like now, the escort team passed through a dense mountain forest and immediately left the official road and entered it.

According to Pan Yunpeng, there is a secret shortcut in this mountain forest, which is only known to caravans and escort agencies who often take this road.

Although the mountain road is relatively narrow and can barely accommodate a carriage and two escorts, as long as you pass here, you can save at least fifty miles of distance.

The only thing that needs attention is the mountain next to it.

I heard that there is a stronghold on this mountain, and there is a king in the stronghold, who is known as Shake the Mountain Tiger, is good at wielding a mace, and claims to have three thousand children. Any caravan passing by here will inevitably be blackmailed by him.

Lin Zhongtian asked curiously: "Is there really three thousand men under the command of the mountain-shaking tiger?"

Pan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Of course not. The last time I passed by here, Shanshanhu invited me to go up the mountain to have a drink. I didn't agree. It was Uncle Liu who went up the mountain to the banquet for me. While we were having a drink, Uncle Liu took the opportunity to observe. The size of the village is estimated to be only five to six hundred people, and this includes the women, children, old and weak people in the village. If we only count the strong men, it would be good to have one in their early 200s!"

"... Are there still women, children, the elderly and the weak in the village?"

"Yes." Pan Yunpeng sighed and said, "I have already investigated clearly. Three years ago, the earth dragon turned over here, and a nearby village suffered great damage. It was about to die. It was the mountain-shaking Hu Sheng discovered this trade route, so he invited his fellow villagers to go up the mountain and become bandits, making a living by robbing the road and hunting."

As Pan Yunpeng said this, he quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the escort beside him.

The escort took the letter, took three brocade boxes, and went up the mountain with his two companions.

Lin Zhongtian looked at it curiously with a white-eyed perspective, and found that the first brocade box contained three ingots of white silver, the second brocade box contained two pieces of red silk, and the third brocade box contained a jar of clear of fine wine.

Three gifts, not very heavy, but definitely not light either.

Seemingly sensing Lin Zhongtian's curiosity, Pan Yunpeng explained with a smile: "Silver, silk and fine wine are the rules set by my Shunfeng Escort Bureau and the other three escort bureaus in Beijing to borrow roads from mountains. Silver is the money for borrowing roads. Accepting the silver means that the other party is willing to give way; the silk and satin are gifts for the women and children of the village; accepting the silk and satin means that the other party is willing to make friends with us."

"As for fine wine, most bandits are not willing to accept it, because accepting fine wine represents a deeper friendship, and the other party needs to send personnel to escort us all the way. If something happens to us on the other side's territory, the other side must also help."

"Of course, this kind of friendship and responsibility is mutual. If friends from the mountains come to the capital in the future, they can visit our Shunfeng Escort Bureau. If there is a purchase demand in the mountains, the Escort Corps is also obliged to trade with the copycats, and the price cannot be too high. Based on prices in nearby counties..."

Pan Yunpeng explained clearly and logically.

Lin Zhongtian listened with interest.

At this moment, the three escorts who went up the mountain came back empty-handed, indicating that the other party had accepted all three gifts.

Lin Zhongtian looked past the three bodyguards and found that behind them were four strong men with sinewy faces, and a young woman with a delicate face, wearing a long blue skirt, who did not look like a bandit.

When they arrived in front of the motorcade, the four strong men and the young woman stopped.

The three bodyguards walked up to Pan Yunpeng, clasped their fists and said, "Chief bodyguard, the village has accepted all the silver, silk and fine wine. The Shanshanhu sent five people to follow us down the mountain, hoping to trade goods with the bodyguards."

Pan Yunpeng asked casually: "What do they want?"

The escort looked a little strange: "Food, cloth, farm tools... and books."

Pan Yunpeng was startled when he heard this, looked at Lin Zhongtian next to him, and said in surprise: "Book?"

The escort leaned his head and lowered his voice: "It was the young woman who suggested it."

Pan Yunpeng glanced at the young woman calmly and asked, "Did you find anything?"

The escort nodded and whispered: "The hands are rough, and there are new injuries, the wrists are delicate, and the back of the neck is white and tender. It should be that I only started doing rough work in the past few months. I guess it is most likely about half a year ago. They kidnapped a woman from a wealthy family in the mountains."

"..."

Lin Zhongtian looked at the escort in surprise when he heard this, as if he didn't expect that this rough man had such delicate thoughts.

Pan Yunpeng was used to seeing scenes like this, so he nodded, said 'I understand', and walked towards the young woman.
