How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 673: This Journey Is for the People

The first batch of Double-sided Brocade to be exported has been woven, and there is a caravan in each location, then the caravans from different cities join together.

These caravans are escorted by personnel organized by Tang Zan, all of whom are top-notch experts with a keen sense of danger.

Pei Shu’er waved at Tang Zan, taking Tang Chong, who was over a year old, and the wet nurse to set off together.

Even after she had gone a long way, she could still see Tang Zan standing on the city wall.

It felt like when Pei Shu’er left, half of his heart was hollowed out.

But he knew that Pei Shu’er was going not just for herself, but for countless people of Dayan.

As for Tang Chong, that little rascal who always pees on his father, he didn’t miss him at all.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Chong were in one carriage, while the wet nurse was in another.

Along the way, Pei Shu’er laughed and read many stories to Tang Chong and played games with him.

Tang Chong’s smile was so wide that his teeth showed, clapping his hands continuously.

On the journey, while everyone else’s meals were kept simple, Pei Shu’er never shortchanged Tang Chong, providing him with timely and varied food, including formula, every day.

During this period with Pei Shu’er, Tang Chong was very happy, always giggling.

When Tang Chong fell asleep, Pei Shu’er placed him in a room in the space.

The air there was excellent, with the most suitable temperature and humidity, allowing Tang Chong to have a good sleep.

Pei Shu’er also entered the space and slept with Tang Chong.

The two of them had a very sweet sleep.

Meanwhile, the people on the carriage endured the bumps, which were not to mention, and it was also very stuffy.

Even with ice on the carriage, it did little to relieve the heat, and many people suffered from heatstroke.

In the end, it was Yinxing who distributed the iced plum soup that Pei Shu’er had long instructed, finally improving everyone’s complexion a bit.

After Tang Chong woke up, Pei Shu’er took him out of the space again.

When the carriage stopped, she would hold an umbrella and take Tang Chong outside to enjoy the scenery.

The wet nurse approached Pei Shu’er several times.

"Empress, you’re tired. Let me take the little prince."

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "I’m not tired, go and rest. I actually enjoy taking care of Tang Chong; he’s so well-behaved and doesn’t fuss or make noise."

The wet nurse looked at Tang Chong and noticed that the little prince’s face seemed rounder than before, with skin so fair and tender.

He was currently taking small steps on the grass, chasing after butterflies, looking utterly adorable.

He even occasionally called out to the butterflies as "Dad" and "Mom," making Pei Shu’er’s eyes smile till they were crescent-shaped.

The wet nurse could only standby, not letting the little prince fall.

The cook had already started the fire, and once the meal was ready, it was brought over.

Fortunately, Tang Zan was well taught and could now eat by himself entirely, without needing others to feed him, which made it easier for the adults.

But after eating, they had to wash his face and hands and change his clothes.

After the meal, Tang Chong played for a while and then yawned, ready to sleep.

Pei Shu’er took Tang Chong onto the carriage again and entered the space once more.

Pei Shu’er wasn’t worried about anyone suddenly lifting her carriage curtain; she was now the Empress, the most noble person on this trip. No one dared to do so without first consulting her.

The journey was not entirely peaceful, as they encountered many crises.

For example, they encountered bandits and mountain bandits, as well as some refugees.

Every time Pei Shu’er saw these refugees, she would stop to inquire and direct them, while also handing out Pei’s tokens.

"Now, you can go to the Pei’s aid point in the city to receive food. As for housing, if you have money, you can stay in the inn in the city; if not, there are also resettlement houses built outside the city for you to stay temporarily."

Initially, these people didn’t realize who was speaking to them, just feeling that the person in front was kind, beautiful, and gentle. She spoke to them without any airs, and her words flowed over their parched hearts like a clear spring.

Until the guard beside them nudged them.

"Hurry and thank the Empress for her good deed."

Only then did they realize that this fairy-like woman was the current Empress.

The refugees quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and even until the caravan had traveled far, they were still seeing them off.

There were many refugees encountered along the way, but many were also saved by this manner.

They had been traveling for about two months now, and the grain sown by Pei’s in various places had matured enough to temporarily sustain these refugees.

Upon reaching the Gulan Border, Pei Shu’er felt both estranged and familiar as she gazed at the Deserted Mountain.

She smiled and looked at the Deserted Mountain from afar but did not choose to enter it, instead leaving from the Gulan Military Camp.

Now, the outskirts of the Gulan Military Camp had actually been managed well, even hosting a market on the first and fifteenth of every month, where the Deserted Mountain and Dada exchanged supplies.

Because both sides had made peace, even small-scale marriages had begun to occur.

It was believed that over time, this situation would become more and more common.

To reach the Great Shang, they actually needed to pass through Dada for a stretch.

They had considered taking other routes before, but this path was the most stable.

After Jing Ci knew they had arrived, she specially went to the Dada border to welcome them.

Everyone was exhausted at this point, so having such an ally’s hospitality naturally led them to choose rest.

The accommodation provided by the Tatar Palace was quite good, unlike the military camp, which consisted only of tents; there were also earthen structures.

Without the trouble of wolves and bandits, everyone slept soundly that night.

When they woke up the next day, they enjoyed a hearty, calorie-laden Tatar breakfast.

After breakfast, Jing Ci smiled as she began to speak.

"I’ve seen that batch of Double-sided Brocade and Cloud Brocade you have. They’re very beautiful. If possible, we at Dada would also like to purchase some."

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "We only want food."

Jing Ci nodded, "Luckily, Dada had a bumper harvest this year. I think we can negotiate a very favorable price."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present seemed relieved.

Doing business with Jing Ci was quite pleasant; she was straightforward and had her own baseline. As long as it was within that range, she would agree directly without even bargaining.

In the end, it was agreed to exchange one piece of Double-sided Brocade for fifty kilograms of rice, and one piece of Cloud Brocade for sixty kilograms of rice.

Jing Ci naturally also saw those several pieces of Pei’s ready-made garments, and for a moment, her gaze was glued, filled with intense nostalgia.

When her hand touched a deep purple dress, she was reluctant to let go of the feel.

"How much for this clothing?"

Pei Shu’er replied, "One hundred kilograms of rice per piece."

Jing Ci laughed, "You really are robbing, and quite aggressively at that."

Pei Shu’er laughed, "I have no choice in the matter; I know that your country’s rice is not valuable now."

Jing Ci nodded, "True, it’s just after this wave of yours, the price will likely increase."

Pei Shu’er shrugged with a smile, "No matter, it’s just market dynamics."
