Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

In previous years, 80% of the tea produced in the tea mountains was sold to the imperial court, but now nearly 30% of the tea cannot be harvested.

This means that not only will they lose 20% of their own tea for sale this year, but they will not even be able to take out the tea from the imperial court.

Not to mention, all Mengshan tea this year will be confiscated by the government.

If they really cannot take it back at that time, will the government think that the Jiang family is uncooperative and unwilling to confer all the Mengshan tea on the government?

What a vicious heart! These people want to force Jiang to join the army and become part of their corrupt community!

Jiang Yin's body swayed slightly. She had no idea that the problem with the tea mountain would have such a big impact.

No wonder my parents went to Yazhou in a hurry in my previous life, but the problem was not solved in the end.

"Don't panic, young lady. Since the incident has already happened, we can only solve it." Uncle Wang said, "So, I will leave for Yazhou tonight and I will definitely find out the problem."

Jiang Yin said quickly, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang. I was planning to go to Yazhou in the next few days. In this case, we can leave tomorrow. As for the prefectural city, I'll have to trouble you to take care of it."

Mrs. Feng hadn't agreed yet, so she could only entrust the matters in the city to Uncle Wang for now.

Of course, she had already sorted out the affairs of the tea plantations and teahouses in the city in the past few days, and dealt with the problems from her previous life.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Feng agrees or not, she will go to Yazhou soon.

However, if Madam Feng agreed, she would entrust the affairs of the prefecture to her. If she didn't agree, she would entrust it to Uncle Wang.

At the moment, it seems that I can only ask Uncle Wang for help.

Uncle Wang hesitated and said, "Things over there are complicated. I'm afraid you won't be able to solve them if you go there."

Jiang Yin raised his hand and said, "No problem, I have to grow up, right?"

The Jiang family is so big, she can't always rely on others.

Uncle Wang pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Then young lady, please focus on your own safety. Leave the city to me, young lady, rest assured."

After deciding that Uncle Wang would stay in the city, Jiang Yin asked Uncle Wang to prepare a team of guards to accompany her to Yazhou early the next morning.

And Wang Heng was also waiting to go to Yazhou with her early tomorrow morning.

Back in the house, Xiao Luo helped Jiang Yin pack tomorrow's luggage and said, "Madam, why don't we let Uncle Wang go to Yazhou?"

She paused and continued, "We don't know what will be waiting for you in Yazhou. How about I go with Uncle Wang and you stay in the mansion. The eldest lady and the son-in-law are gone, you can't have any more mistakes."

The trip to Yazhou would be extremely dangerous, and she really didn't want her wife to take the risk.

"I can't hide like this forever." Jiang Yin folded the clothes in his hands and frowned, "After my second uncle came a few days ago, the heads of the other three families in the Five Peaks of Mengshan all went to Mengshan in Yazhou. I was delayed for some time in handling things, and brother Heng sent me the news. No matter what, we have to go to Yazhou tomorrow."

It was obvious that this was done by the other three companies in Mengshan, but she had no solid evidence and could not do anything to them.

"My mother was able to keep Jiang's company, so there's no reason why I can't." Jiang Yin looked at Xiao Luo seriously and said, "Xiao Luo, I have no choice, and I can't choose. I have to go."

She planned to stay there until this year's new tea was delivered before coming back.

Furthermore, in addition to investigating the affairs of the tea mountain, she will also secretly investigate the murderer who murdered her parents.

Her parents must not die in vain.

Therefore, she must go this time.

Once you leave, you may not be able to return for three months at the shortest and half a year at the longest. Even if you come back, you will only stay for a few days before returning to Yazhou.

That was why, after her rebirth, she spent seven days to deal with and settle matters in the capital.

……

Uncle Wang did not sleep all night and assembled a 20-man guard team and three carriages to accompany Jiang Yin to Yazhou.

Uncle Wang put a full load of daily necessities for Jiang Yin in one of the three carriages, including food and daily necessities, for fear that Jiang Yin would be wronged in the past.

The other two were empty, one was used to carry Jiang Yin's packed luggage and clothes, and the other was for Jiang Yin and Xiao Luo.

The twenty guards and Wang Heng were on horseback protecting them.

Looking at the guards and the things in the car, Jiang Yin couldn't help but say happily: "Uncle Wang, are you planning to let me move? There's an old house in Yazhou, so there's nothing missing."

The Jiang family started out in Mount Meng in Yazhou, and later moved to the city. The Jiang family's old house at the foot of Mount Meng is no worse than the one in the city.

However, in the old house over there, except for the main courtyard which was reserved for their family members to live in, the other courtyards were divided among the clan members to live in.

The old house was full of people and eyes, it was truly a big melting pot. She was afraid it would not be easy for her to go there this time.

Uncle Wang said, "Food outside is not as delicious as what we have at home. It's safer to eat what we bring from home. Oh, the cook will come over too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cook ran out with her bag on her back.

The cook's husband was the Jiang family's own servant, Uncle Fu, the housekeeper of the old house. So everyone called her Madam Fu.

After Uncle Fu passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, Mrs. Fu never returned to the old house. She didn't expect that he would go with her this time.

Jiang Yin said with some worry, "There's a cook at the old house, so Aunt Fu can just stay at home. I'll only be gone for a month or so, and I'll be back soon."

She was worried that Fu Niangzi would be reminded of the past, but why bother? There were cooks there too, so Fu Niangzi didn't have to go there.

However, Madam Fu held Jiang Yin's hand and said, "No, without me, you won't be able to eat well."

She frowned and said, "Besides, the old house is full of wolves and tigers, each one is more cunning than the other. I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone."

Jiang Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I'll trouble Aunt Fu."

Aunt Fu cared so much about her, so she was willing to accept her kindness.

She originally wanted Aunt Fu to ride in a carriage with her, but Aunt Fu refused and went to stay in the carriage that contained her clothes and luggage.

Not only that, Aunt Fu did not sit in the carriage, but sat on the edge of the carriage with the driver, saying that she wanted to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

Jiang Yin smiled and said nothing. Instead, he let the others go first, and he, Wang Heng and Xiao Luo followed behind.

Firstly, she wanted to say goodbye to Mrs. Feng, and secondly, it might be safer if they went separately.

Of course, it was almost the tea picking season, and if all the members of her Jiang family were killed, the government would not be able to ignore the matter.

So, she thought she was safe.

When Jiang Yin's carriage passed the alley of Mrs. Feng's house, it turned directly in. As soon as it turned in, Jiang Yin got off the carriage and prepared to walk in.

However, before she reached Mrs. Feng's door, she heard a burst of angry scolding. It sounded like her possessed uncle Zhang Yuanzhi.

"Mr. Feng, come out. You are the one who instigated my niece to disown her relatives, right?" Zhang Yuanzhi pointed at the closed door of the Feng Mansion and cursed, "You rotten-hearted man, a good young lady doesn't even recognize her ancestors."
