At noon, the Jinyiwei put away the dried cloth strips, and then treated the wounds who had only treated the wounds yesterday but did not bandage them. Then they replaced the gauze bandages with the cloth strips and bandaged them.

After all this, it was already Yin hour in the afternoon. With Zhao Peng's order, the Jinyiwei and the people boarded the boat, headed south along Weishan Lake, and entered the canal.

In the evening, the Ming Navy fleet arrived at the controlled area of ​​King Lu. The fleet stopped at the shore and rested overnight, continued sailing the next morning, and arrived at the Yellow River in the evening.

He was about to say goodbye to Zhang Huangyan and Wu Shengzhao, and Zhao Peng left twenty large boxes for the two: "Each box is 10,000 taels of silver, and twenty boxes are 200,000 taels of silver. As Cheng Bo represents the court, he will give the two navy funds!"

Originally, Zhao Peng wanted to give Wu Shengzhao a hard work of 100,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Huangyan in Weishan Lake. So for Zhang Huangyan's sake, he gave 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 taels of Weishan Lake navy for the sake of Zhang Huangyan.

"Uncle Xie!" Wu Shengzhao quickly knelt down and thanked.

"Don't thank me, I should thank God. The money is from God." Zhao Peng quickly helped Wu Shengzhao up.

The Jinyiwei and the people did not stay at the Yellow River, but moved the goods to the Yellow River embankment as quickly as possible and then onto the ferry. After all, the north bank of the Yellow River was the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhao Peng did not dare to stay here for more, so he ordered the cargo to be transported immediately. In the evening of that day, the Jinyiwei who returned home with the people and gold, silver and jewelry crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Xuzhou on the south bank.

The salt merchant Jiang Guomao had been waiting on the south bank of the Yellow River for many days with a group of ship workers. When he saw Zhao Peng's fleet approaching the shore, Jiang Guomao immediately brought his people to meet him.

"Caughter-in-law, please see me!" Jiang Guomao stepped forward and saluted.

Zhao Peng quickly helped Jiang Guomao up: "Shopkeeper Jiang doesn't have to be too polite. We are all our own family."

"It took ten days for Bo Ye to go. Caomin originally thought that Bo Ye would only take seven days to go back and forth. Seeing that Bo Ye had not returned for a few days, Caomin was worried. There was even news from the north that Caomin's business in the north had been seized by the Tartar court. Caomin was only worried that this matter would implicate Bo Ye, for fear that Bo Ye would unfortunately fall into the hands of Jiannu." Jiang Guomao said worriedly.

Zhao Peng replied: "Shopkeeper Jiang is too worried. The fact that Kangshantang was seized by the Jiannu court has nothing to do with the Jinyiwei. Because the old Xi was jealous of the Hongjiang shopkeepers' business, they urged Jiannu officials to seize Kangshantang as their own as the imperial merchant."

Jiang Guomao said angrily: "Those old men are so hateful. By the way, wasn't Uncle liked to deal with them half a year ago? How could he tolerate those cheating merchants who have been happy to this day?"

Zhao Peng sighed: "Since I arrived in Nanjing, I have been busy for half a year. I didn't bother to deal with the old monks. I went to Qufu a few days ago and suddenly remembered this. When I returned to Nanjing first, I met the emperor and asked for an imperial edict. I turned around and raided all the old monks' homes!"

Jiang Guomao was overjoyed: "Brother, after browsing Lao Xi's business, can you give all their business to the grass-roots?"

"That's natural. Manager Jiang has made contributions to me in the Ming Dynasty! The Eight Great Masters of the Old West are the Imperial Merchant of Jiannu. Manager Jiang, you are the Imperial Merchant of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't give business to the Imperial Merchant, can't you give it to others?" Zhao Peng said with a smile. In fact, in his heart, there was a way to let Zhu Cixuan establish an Imperial Merchant himself, but at present it seems that Zhu Cixuan, who is not good at doing business, wouldn't be able to do things well if he started an Imperial Merchant.

Therefore, salt merchants like Jiang Guomao should keep them for the time being. When the Ming Dynasty Royal Silver Open is open, they can also bring in business tycoons like Jiang Guomao and Zheng Zhilong to invest, and they have brought back 20 million taels of silver. After searching the old Ximen's business names, they will probably get tens of millions of silver. With the investment from Zheng Zhilong and Jiang Guomao, the Ming Dynasty Royal Silver Open will become the strongest group company in the Ming Dynasty, and other businesses are incomparable to the Ming Dynasty Royal Silver Open.

The Jinyiwei took the cargo and the people to the Jiang family fleet. The fleet set sail and headed south along the canal. He passed by Huai'an and Yangzhou without stopping, and headed straight for Nanjing.

Zhao Peng left Nanjing for about a month. The original plan was to be able to go back and forth within half a month, but it was extended for half a month. Zhu Cixuan contacted him at any time because he had the Jinyiwei insider, so he would not worry about him. But Princess Kunxing saw that she had not come back for so long, she must be worried. And Wu Xiaomei must be eager to see them in Nanjing, and she had to go back and see them as soon as possible so that they could rest assured.

The Jiang family fleet set sail from Xuzhou and arrived in Nanjing in just five days.

Sure enough, when the fleet approached Xiaguan Wharf, Zhao Peng saw a woman in white standing on the dock from afar, looking at the river.

As the boat approached, Zhao Peng recognized it at a glance that the woman in white was Wu Xiaomei.

After all, he is a general and tiger girl. She is not very restricted by feudal etiquette. She has always been careless in her work, dares to love and be more open-minded. Over the past month, Wu Xiaomei has been waiting for her lover to return on the dock every day.

"It's sister, it's sister waiting for us to come back at the dock!" Yumei, the youngest, clapped her hands and shouted excitedly when she saw Wu Xiaomei's figure.

"Sister won't wait for us, but our uncle is waiting for us." Qingzhu snorted.

As expected by Qingzhu, as soon as Zhao Peng got off the boat, Wu Xiaomei came up like a gust of wind and threw herself into Zhao Peng's arms. Her bold opening shocked the four girls. After a while, Yumei, who was stunned, snorted: "Hmph, emphasize color over friend!"

"Without having a lover, I don't want our sisters." Qingzhu also snorted.

Chunlan pinched Qingzhu hard and said, "Don't you say sister anymore, you're not going to care about our sisters after you have a lover? Who is better than who?"

All the money brought back and the people were sent to the Nanjing New Army camp. The Nanjing New Army opened a new temporary camp outside the barracks and temporarily placed these people. After that, these people will be selected, and those who are qualified will be sent to the army, and those who are not qualified will be sent to the factory. If you do not even have the qualifications to enter the factory, you will be placed in the imperial village as a farmer.

Zhao Peng and Wu Xiaomei returned to their residence in the Nanjing New Army Camp. The two of them were kind (don't get me wrong, just hugging and kissing, without further action. Zhao Peng would not dare to let other women get bigger before marrying the princess, so that the princess's face would be bad. If Wu Xiaomei gave birth to a son, it would be even more unfortunate, and the princess's face would be thrown away). After lunch at noon, Zhao Peng rushed to the palace to find Zhu Cixuan.

Someone had already reported to Princess Kunxing about Zhao Peng's return. She had finished dressing up in Rouyi Hall early, waiting for Zhao Peng to come to find her.

Zhao Peng walked into the Meridian Gate. He originally planned to go directly to find Zhu Cixuan, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to Rouyi Hall to find Princess Kunxing first, and then go with the princess to find Emperor Shaowu Zhu Cixuan.

"Your Highness Princess, I'm back." Zhao Peng shouted when he entered the Rouyi Hall.

Princess Kunxing heard Zhao Peng's voice and hurriedly came out. As soon as they met, they hugged each other tightly. After a long time, she couldn't bear to part. After a while, the princess murmured: "Zhao Lang, I know you are back today and dressing up and waiting for you."

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "I originally wanted to go to see your emperor brother first when I entered the palace, but then I suddenly thought that we haven't met for a long time, so I'll see you first. It seems that we really have a little understanding of each other."

"Of course, we are a family," Princess Kunxing nodded vigorously. Suddenly, she pushed Zhao Peng away as if she was thinking of something. "You unfaithful man, you don't come to the palace to see me when you come back. Instead, you have a warm relationship with Wu Xiaomei for the whole morning. Humph! If you do this in the future, don't pay attention to me!"
