“Whoa!”
Heeee-
The escort captain halted the carriage.
“I don’t think we can drive the carriage any further. I’ll turn around and head back the way we came. Is that alright?”
“We’ll just walk.”
“Understood.”
Jie Hualan opened the door, and I, along with Qingchao and Miao Xiang, followed her out of the carriage.

– We have wool imported from the Western Regions! Come see for yourselves!
– Yunnan-grown He Shou Wu, two taels per bundle!
– Handcrafted porcelain! Buy ten, get two free!
– Sichuan pepper powder, five coins per bundle!
– Delicious noodles, two coins per bowl!
An overwhelming number of merchants were buying and selling goods.

To apply such a method in medieval China, hundreds of years removed from the modern era.
‘She’s a genius!’
Indeed, just as the Taoist master had seen in her face, she was undoubtedly destined for a conglomerate.
“Well, this is all thanks to the Sect Leader clearing out the bandit gangs nearby.”
