Old Zhou finally thought of his sons, looked around, and asked, "Where are Sixth and Five at the restaurant, but where did Four go?"
Ms. Fang looked at Manbao.
Manbao said, "Fourth brother went to do business, he went to Shangzhou to get porcelain and send it to Xiazhou, then followed some friends to the grasslands to collect medicinal herbs."
"Don't we have medicinal herbs at home?" Old Zhou muttered, "The grasslands, that's the territory of the barbarians, it's too dangerous."
Manbao said, "Dad, don't worry, the Emperor has long subdued the Huihe and other tribes, the people on the grasslands now all recognize His Majesty as the Heavenly Khan."
"Even in the Central Plains, merchants can be robbed by mountain bandits, how can the grasslands be safer than the Central Plains?" Old Zhou wasn't foolish, although he was of limited experience, he had lived through two dynasties and seen the chaos of war.
