Closely follow the pace of Cao Laotou Peiwende looked at the old man who led the way in front of him and did not give birth to a strange feeling in his heart.
Just a glimpse of Yu Pei with gold will stop asking about his origin and purpose.
The old man’s trust in Li Yanran is not too high, is it?
Isn’t he afraid that he is an important criminal in the imperial court and a bandit in the army?
"psst!"
Just at this time, the little green snake, who had been hiding in the collar, looked up at the right time and looked at everything around curiously and cautiously.
Chapter 10 AnXiangYi
Cao laotou is the oldest post official in Anxiang post office and the longest post official in Anxiang post office.
However, few people know that when Cao was young, he was also a chivalrous man and stopped a gang of gangsters from persecuting villagers.
With the increase of age, Nai left all kinds of injuries when he was brave and brave. The older Cao Lao got, the more he could not do it.
So in this case, Li Yanran, an orphan and widowed mother and daughter, hired this once-chivalrous man to hope that the other party could protect the mother and daughter from those relatives who are like wolves and tigers.
Li Yanran is not clear whether Cao Laotou has another friendship with his mother.
But she is definitely the only credible person in the world except her mother, Cao Lao, who once briefly replaced her father’s role and gave her father love.
Because even the news that Shanjun lived in seclusion in Mulian Temple was also that Cao Laotou secretly inquired about Li Yanran with Lu Lan behind his back.
When Pei Wende came to him with Li Yanran as a token, Cao Laotou took Pei Wende into the back yard of the post office without any hesitation.
"Do you want to go to Changsha?"
In the backyard of the post, Cao Lao-tou was the first to ask before Peiwende could speak.
"Uh, yes."
After a short hesitation, I’m not sure how much the old man Cao knows. Pei Wende nodded his head.
"Since you are introduced by Xiao Niang, I will naturally give you a hand."
Pei Wende imagined that the different eyes were deep, and the old man Cao glanced at him gently, but did not continue to delve into it.
"There are two ways for you to go to Changsha."
The tone is gentle and steady. See the old man Cao talking and pointing to the pedestrians outside the post.
"In the first way, you go with those young people who go to Changsha outside."
"Look at the old man’s face, they won’t mind having one more person in their carriage."
Those who can stop at this post for a while are either officials or students, and most of Cao Lao-tou are acquaintances. It’s no big deal to see his kindness and ensure that you bring an extra Pei Wendegen.
If it were an ordinary caravan, they wouldn’t dare to take a young man who didn’t return the knife and bow from his route.
"When can they leave at the earliest?"
Also glanced at those people outside the post PeiWenDe slightly frowned and asked.
According to Pei Wende’s observation, the pedestrians outside don’t seem to be in a hurry, and even the horses and carts have been sent to the stable to eat grass.
"It’s close to noon now, and if they continue to set out, they won’t be able to reach Changsha before dark."
Like already guessed PeiWenDe idea cao old man unhurried explained.
"So they will stay in the post for one night and start at dawn every day. If there is no accident, they should be able to get to Changsha before late."
Compared with Pei Wende’s impression that trains and cars are really slow.
But in this era, this speed is already very fast.
After all, ordinary caravan horses don’t have the amazing endurance of those horses outside. It’s perfectly normal to spend a day or two.
"No, it’s too slow."
Decisively shook his head, Pei Wende, although he firmly believed that sharpening the knife did not mistake the woodcutter, it was natural that one more person would die in Changsha Lufu later.
Pei Wende believes that since Li Yanran introduced the old man Cao to himself, there must be a faster way for the other party to get to Changsha.
"Just say the second way!"
Hear PeiWenDe that firmly answer cao old man couldn’t help but leng a heroic laugh immediately.
"Good courage is really worthy of being seen by Xiao Niang."
Words this Cao laotou simply no longer secretive, pointing to his behind that a few tall, strong swift horse said.
"Since you are in a hurry, pick out one of these swift horses and set off quickly in the name of’ delivering letters’."
"Passing through the post along the way will not ask for letters, but also help you to change your horses actively to ensure that you can get to Changsha before the sun sets."
Smell the strings and know your kindness PeiWenDe immediately stare big eyes some incredible low asked.
"What are you … asking me to pretend to be a post officer?"
Here, we have to have a "post" as an official institution.
As far as Pei Wende knows from Li Yanran, "post office" is somewhat similar to his impression of "post office"
There are more than 1,700 resident staff in the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there are about 20,000 people, all of whom are officially certified by the government.
Theoretical posts are divided into six grades, first-class posts with 20 posts, second-class posts with 15 posts, and third-class posts with 23 posts.
Due to the different forms of information transmission in different regions, these posts can be divided into three types: land post, water post and land post.
Among them, the largest number of Youlu posts accounts for more than 10% of the total number of posts.
And Cao laotou’s management of Anxiang post now is undoubtedly a standard Lu post, which has the "special" of quickly delivering information.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, even if the area is remote, Lu Yi must have several swift horses all the year round to facilitate the imperial court to deliver important information and intelligence.
And once you see the courier, the courier will automatically delay the urgent information.
It can be said that Pei Wende can really reach Changsha before dark, as Cao Laotou said, with a layer of post office identity.
