Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"No, the South and Xihu are too far away so we won't consider them for now. We can start developing the Northern Frontier first."

Nandi and Xihu are too far away from them. If anything happens to their people, it will be difficult for them to go and rescue them.

The northern border is different. It is only two mountains away from them.

They had excavators and explosives, so it was not difficult for them to dig a secret passage between the two mountains.

In this way, if their people go to the northern border, it will be much easier for them to rescue them if something happens.

"You mean to send people from Li's area to the northern border area?"

"Well, after learning what you asked Li Xiaoxiao and the others to do, I was also thinking about this. It's actually not very useful for Li Yi and the others to stay here all the time. It's better to let them go. They are people we trust, and we can rest assured when we leave things to them, right?"

indeed.

Leng Youran also thought so.

Hua Mingche and Ye Chaoyang are older after all, and she couldn't bear to let them keep traveling.

With the precedent of Mr. Zhou and his team taking over the goods, she no longer planned to let Hua Mingche and Ye Chaoyang deliver the goods there.

Now that Li Xiaoxiao agreed to her suggestion, Zhou Cheng and Lian Cheng are no longer so important.

As for Huo Tong and others, there are now more than 100,000 troops in the North, and they are left behind. If they continue to stay here, it would be a bit of a waste of their talents.

"In that case, let's send them all out. Also, the people who were previously trained at Nanshan Academy have been busy in various places across the Northland over the past two years. Have Huanhuan contact them tomorrow to see if they've trained anyone useful. If so, have them send them out this time as well."

Most of the people she had trained before were shopkeepers and accountants.

Since they are planning to expand their business, Huo Tong bringing them along might be of some help.

As for leaving....

"Tianze, Li Yi and the others are all very skilled in martial arts. I have an idea. What do you think..."

"Escort agency?" Li Tianze would be lying if he wasn't surprised after hearing her words. Before this, he just wanted Li Yi to take people to the northern border to test the waters.

"Well, it's a shame to not use up so many secret passages in the North. Li Yi and his men are numerous, so it's entirely possible to set up a escort agency. In this way, Huo Tong and his men won't need to run back and forth. All the goods can be delivered by Li Yi and his men. As for the Northern Frontier..."

Speaking of Northern Frontier, Leng Youran looked at Li Tianze and asked, "Are you planning to connect the two mountains behind Qishan?"

Li Tianze was not surprised to see that she had guessed it. "Well, we have the explosives you have, and we also have an excavator. It will be easy to dig a secret passage between the two mountains."

"Well, it's easy, but it also takes time. So I think we should let Li Yi and the others set up the escort agency first. That way, by the time Huo Tong and the others have established themselves outside, the other two mountains will be almost within their grasp."

Li Tianze nodded slightly and had to admit that her arrangement was the best.

Especially Huo Tong and his group, although there are quite a few of them, their things are too novel.

No one could tell whether they would be envied after taking those things out. With Li Yi and the others going together, their numbers would be enough to suppress those who wanted to do evil.

"Okay, then I'll go tell my grandfather and the others tonight."

"Well, if big brother and the others have any ideas..."

"No, my brother and his friends have sensitive identities, so it's better not to let them get involved in these matters."

Li Tianze continued to explain, fearing she didn't understand. "Youyou, do you remember why you chose to let your two uncles go? The same logic applies now. Although the imperial court knows we've occupied the northern land, our identities are still sensitive. In other words, we're still criminals in the eyes of the people of Eastern Jin."

"If those customers or merchants knew that the goods came from the north, there would be endless trouble."

"Let's leave these matters to Huo Tong, Li Xiaoxiao, and Li Yi this time!"

Leng Youran knew he was right, and if they had anything to blame, it was just their identities...

"You said we are an independent city, why do we still have to listen to the Eastern Jin court?"

Li Tianze reached out and rubbed her head, then smiled and said, "What can we do? We're still in the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If we want to earn their money, shouldn't we be a little more restrained?"

Leng Youran's shoulders drooped, she remembered that she didn't think so before.

She originally wanted to become bigger and stronger, but when it really happened to her, she realized how difficult it was.

I really envy the heroines in novels. They are so awesome. Regardless of whether they are criminals or not, they can expand their careers to so many countries.

When it came to her, I found it very difficult.

First of all, they were not tolerated by the court.

Their status as exiles restricted their actions.

But what can be done!

Hey.....

I don’t know if it’s because she’s pregnant, but she’s been feeling sentimental these days and feels like something’s not going well for her.

If she hadn't been pregnant, she could have gone out with Li Xiaoxiao and the others this time. After all, her identity could be changed at will...

Yes!

How could she forget...

"Tianze, I've thought of it. If my brother and the others want to go out, there is a way."

Li Tianze's eyes lit up after hearing what she said. Before he could ask her what the method was, Huo Tong came over with more than a hundred of her secret guards.

Also coming with them were Huanhuan, Lele and four others.

"master."

"Well, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and talk."

After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and glanced at the group of maids and servants in the yard, then looked at Li Tianze for help.

How could Li Tianze let her down? "It's okay, I'll tell mom."

Leng Youran heard this and quickly kissed him on the cheek, "I knew you were the best."

"Let's go!" Before Li Tianze could savor the moment, Leng Youran grabbed his hand.

The maid in the yard wanted to step forward and say something, but was stopped by Li Tianze with a look.

"Tell mother I'm taking my wife out for a walk."

"Yes..." the maids and servants in the yard responded in unison.

Leng Youran went out of the house for the first time in eight days. She opened her arms and breathed in the outside air.

Li Tianze could clearly feel that Leng Youran became lively again after coming out.

I thought that I must have a good talk with my mother when I come back, and I can’t restrict my wife’s freedom like this anymore.

He still likes Youyou like this.

Energetic and vibrant.

When the huge group of people returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it really scared Old Master Leng.

Upon learning their purpose, he quickly sent someone to invite Leng Yuyang and the others back.

Zhuang Chenxu returned to Huai County after the war, while the others were still in the north. They had been busy building outside the city in the past two days.
