Chapter 413: Chapter 414: Fighting Hard (3)_1

County, located relatively close to the Provincial City, was much more prosperous than Ping County. This was evident from the thriving docks, where the scene of ships sailing to and fro was quite impressive.

After disembarking, Nan Feng headed straight to where there were many carriages, intuitively sensing that she could rent a carriage from there.

Indeed, as she approached, quite a number of people rushed up to greet her. "Where are you going, Lady? Need a ride?" they asked.

"Lady, take my carriage. It’s drizzling right now and my carriage has a canopy."

"Lady, my carriage also has a canopy. Please get into mine."

"..."

Among the many carriage drivers, Nan Feng chose one who looked more reliable. After she boarded the carriage and gave the driver the address of the Million Gold County Business Association, he confirmed that he could take her there.

Seeing Nan Feng not choosing their carriages, the other drivers dispersed to find their next potential passengers.

Once seated in the carriage, Nan Feng remained on alert, observing her surroundings. It’s essential for a young lady to be cautious while on the road.

The carriage driver turned back and looked at Nan Feng, seeing her alertness, he initiated a conversation: "Don’t worry, young lady. I’ve been a carriage driver at this dock for six years now, I won’t sell you out."

Nan Feng gave a light chuckle, "You’ve been doing this for six years? Is this carriage yours?"

"No, it’s rented from a rich man. I divide my daily earnings into halves: one for him, and the other for myself. But soon, I’ll save enough to buy this carriage. Then, I don’t have to pay the owner anymore."

Without thinking, Nan Feng asked: "How old is this horse? Is it worth buying it now? What if it’s past its prime?"

Upon hearing this, the carriage driver suddenly paused before responding after a moment, "Lady, you have a point. I have no clue how old this horse is. If it becomes a worn-out horse in a couple of years, I’ll be the one looking after it till the end."

"..." Nan Feng was dumbfounded, thinking that the carriage driver must have desperately desired a horse of his own, similar to a taxi driver desiring his own car, without checking the horse’s age or health first.

The carriage driver continued on his route, speaking as he drove: "I never thought about what you just mentioned, young lady, but I’m grateful I met you today. If not, I would have made a loss. The wealthy man always encourages us to buy the horse, saying once we own it we could earn more money in the future."

Nan Feng chuckled lightly.

She now couldn’t care less if the carriage driver tried to overcharge her.

It would really be something if she didn’t try to swindle him.

The driver then asked Nan Feng where she came from, where she’s heading, and why her parents weren’t accompanying her.

Nan Feng told him that she was from Ping County, was visiting relatives in Million Gold County, and she knew Kung Fu, so her parents weren’t worried about her safety.

After answering, Nan Feng began asking the driver about the county’s situation. Sometimes, insights from common folks can give a more realistic view of the provincial city.

The driver shared everything he knew, talking about how the government was prioritizing agriculture over commerce recently, how his business was no longer as profitable as before, and how trade with other regions had decreased over the years, and so on.

...

Talking all the way to the Million Gold County Business Association, Nan Feng disembarked, paid her fare, and only then did she walk into the Association.

The reason she came to the Business Association in Million Gold County was because it was recommended by the president from Ping County.

Inside, two middle-aged men were deep in a passionate discussion, debating whether eggplants taste better steamed or fried. They didn’t notice Nan Feng as she walked in. She had to cough a few times to draw their attention towards her.
