After the locust plague was resolved, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er continued south, and they had to find a place with a suitable climate to plant a large number of unicorn fruits.

It can be regarded as helping the people of Shangguan Xuanhao's fiefdom to make a fortune, so it should be a full moon gift for his son.

Who let him be so good this time, and offered to stay in the imperial capital and let them play to their heart's content for a year and a half. Of course, he stayed because his son was too young to go far away, otherwise he would have followed them out a long time ago.

The fruit is regarded as a sacred fruit in some overseas countries, and they will offer dragon fruit on the altar during sacrifices and major religious events, and now sell it to our country.

Now that the Min Ze Dynasty has opened its ports, overseas trade is becoming more and more frequent, and if the Linlin fruit can be planted in large quantities and sold overseas and in the north, it can bring a good income to the people in the south.

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi checked the local logs in the south, found a suitable place for planting unicorn fruits, and prepared to go over for a field trip, and then asked the government to arrange for the people to plant and promote, and by the way, find a port in the south to go to sea, and then find a sea area to play surfing.

The two walked by land for about ten days, and then switched to the water route.

To get to Zhenyang County, you can take a section of water, and then walk for a few days by land.

Tonight they will stay at the inn, and tomorrow they will go to the dock to take a boat.

In the evening, Shangguan Xuanyi received a letter from the emperor flying pigeons, Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at the content of the letter, and saw that his father actually asked them to go to the northern drought-stricken areas to inspect it, and by the way, let Xiao'er bring some blessings over, so that God could hurry up and rain.

Shangguan Xuanyi couldn't cry or laugh after reading the letter, this is treating Xiao'er as a god?

Fortunately, the emperor only wrote a letter in the form of a letter, which was a family letter, not a holy decree, and his idea was simply too nonsense, and Shangguan Xuanyi decided to ignore it.

Xiao'er saw Shangguan Xuanyi's impatient expression, and was a little curious about what was written on the letter: "What is written in the letter?

Shangguan Xuanyi gave the letter to Xiao'er, and Xiao'er couldn't cry or laugh when she took it: "Father, is there something about me? Do I have such a big face? If I go, God will hurry up and it will rain!"

"Father and Emperor also said casually, the locust plague can still find a way to kill the locusts, as for God, if it doesn't rain, we can't do anything, can we still follow the example of the future and make artificial rain? Shangguan Xuanyi folded the letter and put it away.

Due to the drought in the north, many people have already gone south, and the imperial court will naturally arrange for county orders to build shelters to meet those victims.

Thanks to the good weather in the past few years, there is still a lot of grain in the country's granary, and there is no problem in setting up sheds for disaster relief, and Shangguan Xuanyi knows that those people who fled are all with part of the food stored at home, they just have no water in their hometown, so they have to find a place with water to cook and eat, and when it rains in their hometown, they will naturally go home.

The next morning, the two arrived at the pier.

The boat on which the two of them were riding was not an official ship, but a passenger boat crowded with many people.

Because the sitting time is not long, I get on the boat from Yizhou Prefecture to Zhenyang County, and I will arrive in a few days. , Xiao'er didn't want to make a big fuss, so she took a passenger ship.

Besides, this is Old Man Shi's boat, but Old Man Shi gave 20% of Caoyun's shares to Xiao'er as a dowry, so they can be regarded as taking their own boat.

Shangguan Xuanyi helped Xiao'er onto the boat, Xiao'er took out a sign and showed it to the sailors on the ship, and the man immediately saluted them respectfully, and then warmly took them to a private room on the second floor with the largest space and the most elegant decoration.

This passenger ship is very large and has two floors, the second floor is for the rich and noble, and the lower level is for ordinary people.

The second floor is an independent small private room, each private room is beautifully decorated, the cabin is hung around some calligraphy and paintings, quite elegant, there is a small bed inside, a small table, the whole ship has a total of 20 private rooms.

Of course, the private room where Xiao'er is now is the largest private room, with a bed, dining table, desk, and coffee table.

The second-floor boat fare is calculated from Yizhou County to Zhenyang County is ten taels of silver for a private room, and the ship passes through ten counties/towns, charging according to sections, and charging one tael of silver for each dock stopped.

The fare of the first floor, the shortest trip, also needs 100 Wen per person, and each additional distance will be charged 100 Wen per person, and the whole journey requires a total of one or two silver per person, and the whole ship can accommodate more than 100 people.

Therefore, every time the boat travels, the income is very considerable.

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi have a private room, and Yang Liu and Yangmei have a private room.

When Xiao Er took them up to the second floor, in a corner of the ship, a woman buried her head, and after they went up to the second floor, she looked at the direction they left with a quenched gaze, and the hatred in her eyes was so thick that she couldn't hide it.

But she was worried that someone would find out about her strange appearance, so she quickly lowered her head, folded her hands directly on her thighs, and then rested her head on her arms, pretending to be sleeping, but she was thinking of a way in her heart.

Fortunately, the boat went down the river and went very fast, and at this speed, it should be able to reach its destination a day or two earlier.

After the boat went for two quarters of an hour, Yangmei began to get seasick, and the whole person vomited dizzily.

Yangmei is most afraid of taking a boat, every time she takes a boat, she vomits upside down, so she rarely goes out, and usually Yang Liu accompanies Xiao'er, just for fear of encountering a situation where she wants to take a boat.

Yangmei herself rode a horse when she carried out her tasks, and she would only take a boat if she was forced to do so.

Although this seasickness will not be fatal, it is really fatally uncomfortable.

Xiao'er also heard her vomiting in the private room next door, she also knew that Yangmei was seasick, but she didn't know that the fainting was so serious, after all, the sound insulation effect of the boat she sat on before was better than that of this boat.

"Brother Shangguan, I'll go see Yangmei. ”

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded and did not stop.

Xiao'er came to their private room and knocked on the door, after Yang Liu opened the door, the two of them were shocked when they saw that she was coming, Yang Liu hurriedly blocked Xiao'er out of the door: "Young lady, it's filthy inside, you better don't go in." ”

Yang Mei also nodded: "Young lady, I'm fine, it's fine after vomiting, don't worry, vomit ......"

After talking more, Yang Mei began to vomit again.

"Why don't you vomit like this and don't look for me, this is a motion sickness pill, it won't be so uncomfortable if you eat it!" Xiao'er didn't insist on going in, it was really Yang Liu's posture of blocking the door, she handed a bottle of pills to Yang Liu: "If you take the medicine, you can't do it, you just order her sleeping hole and let her sleep all the way!"

"Then how can I do it, I still have to protect the master and the young lady. ”

Hearing this, Xiao'er couldn't help but quip: "Okay, you yourself are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and you can't protect yourself, how can you protect me! Rest well, don't think about it, the boat is very safe." ”

Xiao'er said a few words and went back to her private room.
