Bai Zhi brought craftsmen, and Pan Yushuang brought soldiers, but here in Taixi, both of them could only stay in the salt field.

"Miss Yushuang, I want to collect the pearls and send them back again." Bai Zhi said.

When Pan Yushuang first arrived in Taixi, he felt sorry for Bai Zhi. It was too difficult for a girl to guard the salt field here. Fortunately, Bai Zhi was smart. She used a lot of people from Taixi and gave these people generous wages. This is why Bai Zhi is safe here.

"I will accompany you to collect pearls." Pan Yushuang said.

Bai Zhi shook her head: "Those pearl pickers are very strange in nature. This time I want to prepare a gift for the Queen. When these pearls are sent back, the little master should have been born."

Pan Yushuang smiled: "If you don't lead the troops, let's go. I haven't had a good look at Taixi yet."

"Then don't talk nonsense. People here believe in the sea god and have many rules. If you say something wrong, you may be chased and killed." Bai Zhizai carefully explained the rules of Taixi to Pan Yushuang.

On the beach in November, the sea breeze is already cool, and this is also the last time the pearl picker picks pearls.

Two people left the salt field in a carriage.

Pan Yushuang was not idle all the way. Not only did she look with her eyes, she was also outlining the topographic map. Bai Zhi was a little nervous and could only whisper to remind her not to be seen. The people of Taixi have always been very alert.

The tall stone wall blocked the way. The people standing in front of the gate were wearing dark blue shorts, with thick cloth wrapped around their heads and long whips in their hands.

"These are guards?" Pan Yushuang asked.

Bai Zhi nodded: "The largest pearl picker here is the Bai family. The Bai family is very famous in Taixi. Any merchant who wants pearls has to pick up the goods from the Bai family."

"No wonder." Pan Yushuang put away the drawn drawings, and both of them had to get off the carriage. These guards had to carefully inspect the merchants entering the city.

Seeing Bai Zhi, one of the guards smiled: "Oh, Bai Zhi is really good at finding time. I only came back from the pearl picker yesterday. You are here now."

Bai Zhi smiled and bowed: "This is the last time in the year, I hope I can get a baby."

When the guard saw Bai Zhi lifting a crack in the box and revealing the silver ingot inside, he smiled even more sincerely: "Don't worry, our master is definitely willing to do things with a person as generous as Miss Bai Zhi, please."

Bai Zhi and Pan Yushuang came to Stone City.

Someone took their carriage forward and stopped in front of a very neat house.

"Miss Bai Zhi needs any instructions." The person who led the way politely opened the door, and two old ladies came over to help carry things.

Pan Yushuang secretly smacked her tongue, this is how money can make the devil push!

Everyone walks outside elsewhere, and their wealth is not revealed.

Here in Taixi, if you don’t have money, you won’t have the chance to enter Stone City!

The yard is not exquisite, it is made of stone houses, and it is cleaned. The two mothers only work in a dull way, as if they can't see Bai Zhi and Pan Yushuang at all.

"You have to bring a lot of money every time you come, right?" Pan Yushuang asked in a low voice.

Bai Zhi smiled: "Not only those, we have been a big pearl collector for two consecutive years. This year is the third year. The last batch of pearls should have good things, and they don't just ask for silver."

Pan Yu raised his eyebrows: "What else do you want? Food?"

"They want all the grain, but I have distributed all the grain to the people in our salt farm. This area is the territory of the Bai family. In fact, there are more poor people in Taixi." Bai Zhi said softly: "If the master really wants to come, then the Bai family will be almost over!"

Pan Yushuang pursed her lips: "I'm going to give birth in two months, I'm thinking about her."

As the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door outside. Pan Yushuang glanced at Bai Zhi.
