Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

The three of them strolled around until dark before slowly returning to the inn. The things they bought at the grocery store had already been delivered. Jiang Li took advantage of the night to put all the things into the space.

Early next morning

On the pier

Jiang Li looked at the people coming and going, and was a little curious: "Where is this ship going to pass? Why are so many people going there? Is the fare very cheap?"

That's not right. This is ancient times. The cost of building a large ship is very high. If the ticket is cheap, how can we make money? It seems that the people coming and going all carry a lot of goods. Maybe they are merchants.

Mo Yuan handed over the oil-paper package and said, "This is the hot bun I just bought. Eat it while it's hot. The ticket price is ten taels of silver per person. It's not cheap, it's very expensive. As for why those people took the boat."

"If we take the official road, we might run into robbers along the way. Not only will our belongings be lost, but we might also be killed. If we hire an escort agency, the extra expense will be too high. It's actually not as cost-effective as taking a boat."

“The price is right and it’s a little safer.”

After hearing this, Jiang Li understood. So that was the case. Ten taels of silver per person. The annual income of ordinary people in Qi State was only two or three taels. With this calculation, the price of the boat ticket was indeed expensive.

After taking a bite, the buns were thin-skinned and had lots of meat fillings. The gravy was about to overflow, and he looked very satisfied: "Mm, so delicious. What's the name of this bun? There's so much meat filling."

Mo Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, pointing in a direction: "Over there, there is an old lady selling it, her business is pretty good, I thought you might like to eat meat, so I bought some more, see if it's enough for you to eat."

"If it's not enough, I'll buy some more. We won't be able to eat such delicious hot buns when we get on the boat."

Jiang Li hummed twice, and said vaguely: "Okay, buy more, I'll store it in the space, so that when we want to eat, we can eat it hot anytime, very convenient."

"...That's fine, I'll be back soon, don't run around."

Mo Yuan simply bought a backpack and bought all the food that the old woman had prepared. Facing her surprised look, he explained, "Grandma, there are many of us and we eat a lot. Please sell all of this to me."

"You can bring it on board and eat it slowly. It's okay if it gets cold. Just heat it up. The weather is cool now, so it won't go bad. My mother-in-law's cooking skills are great. They all say it tastes good."

The mother-in-law was delighted when she heard this and said, "Haha, you are so handsome and can talk. Your wife will be blessed in the future."

Mo Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head to look in that direction, and whispered: "I am lucky to meet her."

"Oh my, it looks like lovers finally get married."

"Come here, these are for you. I've sold all my wares and it's time to go home to see my grandson. Thank you for letting me close my stall early today."

"Nothing, it's just that grandma cooked it deliciously."

Jiang Li saw him coming over with a backpack filled with oil paper bags that were still steaming. They looked freshly cooked and he took two bites of each, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

Ancient times are still better. The food here is real, without technology and hard work, and the food is healthy and filling.

He reached out and took an oil paper bag and handed it over: "Brother, let me give you a taste. This mother-in-law cooks it very deliciously."

Mo Jue took it and thanked him softly. He opened the oil paper package and looked at the several large buns inside. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Third brother, I can't finish these. Let's share them."

Mo Yuan nodded, took three and left.

Soon the boat arrived. After the three of them finished their meal, they packed up briefly and followed everyone else on board. They paid and were taken to the cabin. Their luggage was also very simple, and they could not bring anything like a carriage.

Just buy it when you get to the place, it won’t take much time.

The boat started to move slowly. Jiang Li came to the deck and looked at the fish flying in the sky. He retracted his gaze and looked into the water thoughtfully. It might be difficult to catch these fish. He would decide when the time comes.

Others also came out one after another. The cabin was stuffy and it was much more comfortable without the breeze on the deck. Some brought books and talked in low voices. Laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Haha, this is making me laugh to death. This is the first time I've seen a storybook written this way. It's humorous and exciting, and I can't stop reading it."

"Hey, you haven't seen it, you are so ignorant."

"This is recommended by the owner of Tianxia Pavilion. The price is a bit expensive, but the storybook is worth it. It also comes with a picture album. I tell you, the picture album is the real treasure. Oh my God, with my many years of experience watching pornographic art."

"The price of this album will definitely increase in the future. Why not buy it now while the first batch is free? You can sell it at a higher price in the future and make a profit without any problem."

Jiang Li turned around and looked at them, his eyes full of meaning.

"A Yuan, we are going to get rich, right?"

Mo Yuan looked at those people and hummed softly, "10% of the pure profit, no cost at all, Xiao Li is really a business genius, amazing, if it were a man, the position would definitely be yours."

"Haha, I'm not interested in that position. Freedom is what I want. A life of giving up is meaningful. Who wants to suffer through reviewing documents and dealing with trivial matters every day?"

Jiang Li stroked his chin and said seriously, "When the world is at peace, I want to travel around the world with you. We can eat and drink, see the mountains and rivers, and appreciate different cultural customs."

"That's the only way to live a worthwhile life. Why be trapped there like a bird in a cage for the rest of your life? How boring!"

Mo Yuan raised his hand and touched her head: "Well, I hope that one day, we can see together that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no more wars."

"That day will come."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes. If there was really no solution, he could just use hot weapons. In the era of cold weapons, hot weapons were invincible. This thought only flashed through his mind and he gave it up in an instant.

Forget it. Neither the bad father nor the soft-hearted prince brother are capable of ruling the world. She should just leave it as it is. Whoever hits her, she will just fight back. She doesn't care about anything else.

Whether it is unified or not, let the future generations decide. She is too lazy to bother with it.

The two looked at those people gathered together, exclaiming from time to time, looking at them expressionlessly, with bright eyes flashing. The profit share is paid once a month, which means that she will be able to get a sum of money next month.

"A Yuan, what are you going to do with the money you get next month?"

"That's what Xiaoli earned, so naturally you have the final say."

"No, you wrote the words. I just dictated them. The money must be divided. You can spend it as you like. I want to use all the money to buy food."

"I heard that Yu Country is a major grain-producing country. Since we can't buy much in Qi Country, we might as well buy it from other countries. It would be a good deal to exchange dead things for grain."
