Unexpectedly, they really managed to make the Express Delivery Business thrive.
I irresponsibly tossed the problem of attracting customers to Nie Qiuyuan, who, as an e, irresponsibly passed the challenge down to the Four Hall Masters.
His approach was to let the four halls come up with their own ideas and compete against each other. Everyone was a Jianghu Hero, and in my heart, they all carried a spirit of not wanting to lose. Suddenly, creativity began to flow abundantly.
In the end, Shentong Hall, under the leadership of Master Luo, Luo Dachun, adopted a cash-on-delivery model and became the largest express delivery branch under Wanzi Mountain's Logistics Center.
After all, in this Underworld background where the escort agency operates, if they deliver your goods with quality and quantity guaranteed, who would dare to default on the delivery fees?
During this time, Nie Qiuyuan visited me twice and casually asked about the source of my idea. Considering I had painstakingly accumulated so much knowledge—mostly natural sciences necessary for survival—now he was asking me about economics? It was simply too frustrating.
I could only share my superficial understanding of the logistics industry with him. Most of that basic knowledge came from my direct experiences while shopping on Taobao.
However, despite this trivial information, his gaze towards me seemed to hold a hint of appreciation. Sigh, when will you stop being an Outlaw and become a Detective instead? Then you would surely fall for me quickly!
By the time Wanzi Mountain's escort business was on track, a month had passed. My injuries had healed, and I gradually began to familiarize myself with my current environment. So, I started quietly using my Golden Finger.
It was because I realized firsthand how inconvenient life in ancient times truly was!
The problems were particularly practical. For example, after using the restroom, depending on the season, one would have to choose between water, cloth, leaves, corn cobs, dirt clumps, or bamboo strips for wiping. How could anyone endure that? Even worse was the thought that my male idol might also use these methods; it felt disillusioning.
Fortunately, I was well-prepared. The modern paper-making process requires machinery; otherwise, the paper wouldn’t crumple properly and would be hard to ensure softness. But with someone as persistent as me around, I forced a poor student from Forestry University’s Department of Light Chemical Engineering to help me research a method for making paper by hand.
Even if the quality wasn’t great, as long as it was soft, that would suffice!
I secretly sold this patent to Luo Dachun. Selling it meant doing him a favor. His gaze towards me changed instantly as if he were looking at a pile of gold. From then on, Shentong Hall’s performance soared; they not only delivered packages but also sold paper.
As for the rest, I kept it all to myself. For instance, based on previously prepared materials, I successfully handcrafted the first set of modern women's underwear from the Tang Dynasty; even the bras were padded! Ye Liuhui already had a good figure; with such divine equipment enhancing her appearance further made her even more striking. When she wore clothes over it, she exhibited curves that ancient women lacked—a Linglong sensation that even I found mesmerizing.
I truly am a meticulous person! Prepared for anything; there’s always food wherever I go!
Unfortunately, even someone as capable as me couldn’t escape the fate of being embroiled in endless gossip and drama.
Today, Shentong Hall received a significant escort mission, transporting something extremely valuable and of great importance. Therefore, Luo Dachun invited Nie Qiuyuan to accompany him on the journey. Out of the blue, Nie Qiuyuan suggested, "Liuying's injury has nearly healed; let's take her out for some fresh air."
Come on, I thought. The only reason I invited you to join me was because I was worried about danger, and now you want to take me out for a stroll? Am I just a target?
However, when my idol made the invitation, I absolutely couldn't refuse. Just being with him was better than anything else, right? A genuine look of surprise and joy appeared on my face as I happily agreed.
In the end, our carriage wasn't robbed. Instead, we collided with someone else.
Such a collision scene is common in every drama, and it always involves someone important. My heart sank; I felt this was some kind of fate.
To my surprise, the person we hit turned out to be a handsome man.
He fell face-first onto the ground and looked quite disheveled. When he got up, he had a line of scrapes running from his forehead down to his chin, as if someone had drawn a vertical line across his face with a brush. Despite this, his face remained remarkably handsome—fair skin and eyes that seemed to converse, exuding an aura reminiscent of Nie Qiuyuan.
This handsome man appeared to be seven or eight years older than us. His maturity radiated an air of restraint and endurance. While Nie Qiuyuan also had a reserved nature, his was somewhat inscrutable; it was hard to tell what lay beneath.
Luo Dachun jumped down to help him up and asked, "Are you alright, sir? What is your name and where do you live? We can take you home."
The handsome man had an excellent temperament and bore no grudge against us. He wiped his wounds with his sleeve and replied, "It's nothing; I was distracted just now. No harm done. My surname is Mu; Mu Zilong."
Though people from Wanzi Mountain were bandits, they possessed considerable refinement. Luo Dachun supported Young Master Mu without hesitation: "Brother Zilong, let’s go; I'll take you to see a doctor."
Brother Zilong looked surprised for a moment before breaking into a gentle smile. "I'm just a big man who tripped; there's no need for such fuss!"
Luo Dachun suddenly found common ground with him. Since our escort mission was headed to this city anyway, he invited Young Master Mu to join us for a meal at the tavern after we finished our business.
Throughout this process, Nie Qiuyuan said nothing but didn’t oppose either. He and Luo Dachun shared an unspoken understanding through their glances.
However, upon hearing Young Master Mu's name, something stirred in my heart.
Perhaps it was because I had watched too many dramas; my mind often wandered toward the most coincidental and incredible possibilities. I couldn't tell if this was good or bad for a detective. In any case, modern people often create usernames by splitting their surnames; those named Li might call themselves "Mu Zilong," "Mu Zilong," or "Mu Zilong." In the Tang Dynasty, Li was indeed a royal surname. But what about Long?
I felt that one could interpret his name as "Li Long," not as "Mu" and "Zi Long." Luo Dachun really shouldn't have dragged away the latter half of his surname; it was quite inappropriate.
One must not offend; it could very well be a member of the royal family! Ah, I really have a vivid imagination.
The scholar calculated that it was now June 10th of the 66th year, and Li Yuan was still in power, but it wouldn't be long before Li Shimin took over. The Xuanwu Gate Incident occurred on the fourth day of June, and currently, the royal family members were busy killing each other in Chang'an; they had no time to wander into our county town!
A group of men were drinking and making a ruckus, soon linking arms and laughing together. Nie Qiuyuan was relatively introverted among them and didn't get involved much, so I naturally kept my distance as well. However, Young Master Mu was quite approachable. When I first met him, I sensed a cloud of low pressure surrounding him, as if he wasn't in a good mood. Now, he seemed to be gradually lightening up.
“Brother Zilong,” Luo Dachun seemed to take a liking to him and had already started calling him brother, “If you don’t mind, why not stay with us at Wanzi Mountain for a few days? The brothers can catch up slowly.”
Thus, Wanzi Mountain gained another charming and mature handsome man in Young Master Mu.
***Below is the author's whimsical moment***
Author: Is the most inconvenient thing in ancient times really just the lack of toilet paper?
Ye Liuhui: How could that be? The most inconvenient thing is definitely... the lack of electricity! In fact, there are many inconveniences; come on, focus your attention and don't let your imagination run wild in such useless directions!
Author: That's true. So, what do you plan to do about it?
Ye Liuhui: Well, I really have no idea... If I were to create everything myself, just making things would require a million words. So, I guess I'll just make do...
