Chapter 161 Qingshui County
After a while, the third prince also arrived. Several people chatted for a while at the gate of the mansion. Zhong Ruiyu, Li Ziyan and He Qianqian arrived at the same time, each with a carriage.
The group was huge. Zheng Zhimin only brought one maid, while Li Ziyan and He Qianqian each brought two maids and a coachman.
Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu were both a servant and a coachman. The third prince Sheng Zhen brought Qingfeng, Qingmu, and a team of ten guards.
Zheng Sisi brought four maids with her, and the coachman was a secret guard who had to follow her to protect her. This time she also brought Uncle Ma who worked on the land and four new people she bought yesterday, leaving three people in the mansion to look after the vegetable seedlings.
This time, Captain Liu led the guard team again. There were more than 50 people in the group, and there were so many carriages and horses that those who didn't know would think it was someone's family moving.
After Zheng Sisi finished taking care of the affairs in the mansion, she waved goodbye to Nanny Li and the others, got on the carriage, and set off with her team.
They marched out of the capital in a grand procession, attracting a lot of people to watch and talk about them.
This time the fiefdom is a little farther away than the last Wohushan Farm, but fortunately it is in the same direction and it would take three hours for the carriage to travel at a fast speed.
This is a small county town called Qingshui County. Although it is not far from the capital, it is surrounded by continuous mountains and the water flows into a river formed by clear water flowing down from the mountains. It is located in a remote area with a large population and few merchants passing through. Therefore, the most common things here are farms. Each family buys a farm and then buys some people to grow crops, and they don't care about anything else.
The local villagers and tenants also lived in poverty, just as the name of the county town suggests. Without any agricultural or specialty products that could generate income, the county government became a place of little consequence.
But these are not a problem for Zheng Sisi, who has modern knowledge. All she needs is time. She believes that with her own ability, she can develop Qingshui County into the richest and most prosperous county.
After the large army set off, they staggered forward all the way. Several little girls were very excited. They left their maids and crowded into Zheng Sisi's carriage, chattering loudly and occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside.
When Zheng Sisi was traveling, Nanny Gui prepared a lot of snacks and food for her. Zheng Sisi avoided people and put some of them in her space. Although the weather was not hot yet, she was afraid that they would go bad if kept for too long.
Zheng Sisi put out some snacks, and the group enjoyed the snacks and drank tea.
Zheng Sisi didn't ask them to drink more, just to moisten their throats. At first, they didn't understand. Zheng Zhimin said, "Sister Sisi, please pour me another glass. I want to drink more."
Zheng Sisi rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are just trying to have fun now, but you will suffer later. If you drink too much water, you will have to relieve yourself. We are on the official road, and there are no inns. Where will you go to relieve yourself later?"
After hearing this, the three of them thought about it and their faces turned red. There were mostly men in this group, and if they let others know that they were urinating in the wild, they would never see anyone again.
They had never traveled far, so of course they didn't know such common sense. They had just blamed the county lady for being stingy, but now they felt embarrassed.
He Qianqian said: "County Lady, I'm sorry, we didn't know this would happen."
Zheng Sisi said: "This is human nature. If you go out more often, you will gain experience."
Zheng Sisi added: "Don't call me the county lady, you can call me Sisi."
Li Ziyan interjected: "I am the same age as Zhimin. Can I call you Sister Sisi like her?"
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Sure!"
He Qianqian also said: "I am a little older than them, so I will call you Sister Sisi too."
Zheng Sisi: "Well, this is much more pleasant to the ear. Calling her the county lady sounds a bit strange."
Several people chatted as they talked, and after the carriage had been traveling for more than an hour, several people began to feel a little restless. Unlike modern cars, which have soft leather sofas, the seat of this carriage was too hard, and even if the carriage was driving steadily, it still hurt their buttocks. Slowly, several people began to feel a little restless again.
