Xue Yan was not surprised that Jiang Yue suddenly thought that he was going to deal with the matter that the two of them talked about last time, and even thought it was normal.

Jiang Yue is too smart, he has seen it more than once.

"Yeah." Xue Yan nodded.

Jiang Yue watched as he put the small piece of ink he took out into the inkstone. This ink was not the ink he usually used, and the ink he usually used was in another small box. This ink was also bought in the town. A few days ago, the third brother went to the town to deliver ice to the Pei family. He asked the third brother to help buy it, but the quality of the ink was better than the ink he usually used. Moreover, it was made by other prefectures, but only in their town. There are also for sale.

The paper and envelopes he prepared were also better than those he usually used. They were also made by other prefectures, and the third brother bought them together with Mo.

The paper and ink usually used, although the quality is not as good as this, is produced in the state capital where they are located.

Using paper and ink from other state capitals instead of paper and ink made by your own state capital, doesn't it obviously make the recipient want to check the source of the letter and find a needle in a haystack?

She didn't have to think about it, she could guess that such a thoughtful person, he would definitely not write this letter in his own handwriting, but in someone else's handwriting.

but……

"You can erase all other clues, but how did you send the letter to the queen mother, wouldn't it leave a trace?" Jiang Yue finally asked this question.

Xue Yan's voice became even lower: "The queen mother is not in the palace now, she is worshipping Buddha in Tianling Temple, everyone thinks she is in the palace, but she has never seen anyone, it was later in her previous life, that is, next year, the current emperor passed away in a coma. Not long after, she suddenly died suddenly in Tianling Temple, and everyone knew that she had been in Tianling Temple all the time."

Knowing that he had not finished speaking, Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to ask anything.

Xue Yan: "And in our county, there is a wealthy businessman surnamed Qin who owns several big boats. He travels south and north, and he will help people with letters by the way, but the price is a bit high, about one hundred cents a piece. He opens the door to do business, and also To put it bluntly, there is no guarantee that the letter will be delivered to the other party, or that the letter will not be damaged on the road at all, that is, he will not be responsible for any problems with the letter, so, at the beginning, go to him, give him money, let him Those who carry the letter are those who really can't ask others to help carry the letter and try their luck with him."

The post station is where the government transmits letters and has nothing to do with ordinary people. Letters from ordinary people to distant relatives and friends are usually carried by others.

Unlike a large family, there is a slave, and the slave can directly send the letter.

These, Jiang Yue still knows.

However, Xue Yan's words were obviously not finished.

Sure enough, Xue Yan was still whispering to her: "Later, everyone found out that although the wealthy businessman did not guarantee anything and would not give any money, the letters were basically delivered, and more and more people entrusted him with it. The rich merchant's boat helped carry the letter. In a few years, this small business of sending letters to people has become a big business. Almost ordinary people in our state capital, as long as they have letters, they will carry them for them. No matter where the boat is going In either direction, along the way, many people from other places will ask him to bring letters to relatives and friends. The day after tomorrow, his family will have another boat going all the way to the Imperial Capital, and every two months, his family will have a boat to go there. Imperial Capital, Tianling Temple is just outside the Imperial Capital City."

Jiang Yue understood why he was writing this letter now, dealing with the matter of changing Xuanyuan Hao's fate. It was useless to write it before, and the boat would not leave.
