Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 256

Ah Shan looked at Ye Xi's puzzled expression and realized that she probably didn't know much about the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Miss, I have been back for more than three months. I heard that the court has sent more troops to the north and west.

There will probably be wars in the next few years. If you have this map in your hand now, you might be considered a spy surveying the terrain of our dynasty.

After all, fighting a war is also very dependent on climate and terrain."

Ye Xi suddenly realized that the means of modern warfare can change many natural factors, so these are not very important information, but they were indeed taboo in ancient times.

She was glad that she had not allowed anyone into the study room because she was afraid that someone else would touch the account books, but she unexpectedly avoided a disaster.

"I understand. I will keep it away and not let anyone see it."

Ye Xi felt sorry, so she quickly spread the news, stopped those who were still making these records, and gave them generous hush money.

Ah Shan was very happy to see that Ye Xi had listened to his words and smiled again.

"Speaking of which, Ah Shan has to kowtow to the young lady."

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times solemnly to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was so scared that she quickly helped the man up and blamed him for being too polite.

“These are nothing. If it weren’t for the young lady’s citrons, I might have died on the ship.

If it weren't for the young lady's instructions, I might not have been able to come back in one piece."

It turned out that the time when Ashan went out to sea was also the first time the Chamber of Commerce tried to go out to sea. They did not take many things into consideration, such as scurvy.

Although many people in the Zhou Dynasty lived by the sea, they stopped at shore for supplies along the way, which was different from the situation where they would drift on the sea for several months or even a year or two.

Because of Ye Xi's instructions, Ah Shan insisted on drinking citron tea every day, so when some people gradually developed scurvy, he understood Ye Xi's painstaking efforts.

He didn't dare to shout loudly about his specialness, and could only secretly remind everyone what supplies they should replenish when docking to alleviate the symptoms of those patients.

At the same time, he also found people on the ship who were as prepared as he was, and gradually they became friends with each other.

He finally became one of the survivors on the ship, but encountered various problems when he arrived in the New World.

One of the reasons was due to different customs and habits. He saw many of his colleagues being forced to stay in the local area and never be able to come back because they violated local customs.

He did not forget to bring Ye Xi what she wanted.

During the long boat trip, his favorite thing to do when he was bored was to look at the porcelain bottle given by Ye Xi.

I kept stroking the patterns on it, memorizing each one in my mind.

He was so excited when he saw those familiar species appear in front of him!

Sometimes I hide the seeds secretly, and sometimes I just exchange what I have with others.

In short, he brought back everything Ye Xi wanted that he could find.

What he didn't tell Ye Xi was that in a certain place, he met local refugees and was beaten up.

Fortunately, he was heard by a colleague passing by, who rescued him and they returned to the boat together, so he was able to come back alive.

Ye Xi knew that his experience would not be smooth, but as long as he could come back, it would be fine.

She was very happy to hear that he had brought back what she wanted.

Ashan returned the porcelain bottle that she had given her. She happily poured out all the seeds inside, but her body suddenly stiffened.

Ah Shan followed her gaze and his body stiffened.

Some of the seeds had turned black, probably because they were delayed for too long on the road.
