Chapter 255: Chengdu Mansion City
The variety of crops brought with us is quite diverse, including fifteen different species.
Not to mention the grain crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the cash crops such as peanuts, peppers, upland cotton, and tobacco alone are enough to bring Liujia Village's financial situation to a new level.
Especially upland cotton, now the textile industry has been the pillar industry of Liujia Village, although the space cotton has been selected and bred several times has been an extremely excellent variety, the weaving of fine weaving is in short supply.
However, Liu Ximing always remembered that modern cotton seeds seemed to be dominated by American cotton, and he was very much looking forward to what kind of cotton this batch of cotton seeds could brive.
As for the chili peppers, hehe, in a few months, the hot pot will be started, even if it is in the state of mind, Liu Ximing's saliva has a tendency to secrete wildly.

"Dear Father Julius, our entourage has arrived safely in Chengdu Mansion, which is under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Political Envoy, and we have not suffered much along the way, so please do not worry."
"It's unbelievable that the son of Liu Ximing, whom you mentioned many times before your departure, actually came to Chengdu because of the exam, and under the call of the Lord, the two of us met in this place known as Longquan Station."
"Just as you did last time, his presence once again settled some moral disputes and problems for me and Said, and I began to believe what you said, that he was a destined person of God in Sichuan."
"What is even more exciting is that his companions, a group of scholars of great literary literacy, have a strong desire to learn about God's cause and the great world he has created."
"When I think back to the success story of the Jesuits in southeastern China, I cannot but believe that this is God's decision once again to make this success manifest in southwestern China."
"I will try to establish a good personal relationship with them, and although they are not yet in the upper classes, from what I have seen, their potential is endless."
"I was convinced that it would take a lot of time to spread the Gospel of the Lord, and I hope that their presence will help us shorten this journey."
"By the way, all the items you asked me to bring to this Liu Gongzi have been handed over to him, and he has expressed great respect for your honesty and trustworthiness, which may be used as an opportunity to break through his personal thoughts......
In the middle of the night, Richard wrote under the oil lamp, and although it was the first time he came to this place that was not illuminated by the glory of the Lord, he still regarded his achievements as a great omen.

This night seemed a little long for many people, and Du Liangji couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed.
The knowledge from the new world gave him a feeling of opening his mind, it turned out that the world was still so big, and Da Meng was not the center of the world.
However, the few words that Liu Ximing briefly mentioned on the way back to his room made him even more frightened, the Westerners had already occupied and colonized most of the land on the earth that they had become, and the big and small Francos had even begun to build strongholds in Dayuan.
If...... They want to plot against China, Du Liangji has a tremor in his heart, he is often brainwashed by Liu Ximing, the world is already a difficult livelihood, and he is not as confident in the current Da Meng as before.
The next day, the morning of Longquanyi Market Town was sober earlier than the average city, and people who went to Chengdu with various purposes in mind got up noisily early in the morning to wash up and eat, so as to rush to their destination as soon as possible.
Liu's convoy also set off in a noisy situation, the post station to Chengdu has to go over Longquan Mountain, when the convoy arrives halfway up the mountain along the crooked official road, you can already get a glimpse of the style of the Chengdu Plain, and many travelers are here to stop and watch.
Plains, endless plains.
Being able to see a majestic city in the distance on the horizon was of course trivial to Liu Ximing, but for Xu Wei, Li Biao and others, who had never walked out of the city, such a magnificent sight could already make them jaw-dropping.
"The essence of the land of abundance is all here", Liu Ximing couldn't see the appearance of a bunch of turtles under his hands, and stretched out his finger to give them guidance and explanation.
"From the Longquan Mountains to the west to Dujiangyan, from Mianzhou to the south to Yazhou, a large piece of land in the middle can be called the Chengdu Plain, covering an area of about 2 million hectares, compared to the hills in eastern Sichuan, all of which are plains that can be cultivated."
"Mother, what kind of people in Chengdu Mansion have to be rich." , Li Biao kept smacking his tongue.
Dou Yuquan burst out laughing when he heard this, "Hahaha, what you said is too ignorant, although Chengdu is rich, but to support a large family in the Shu Wangfu, no matter how rich the family is, it will be gone." ”
He gestured in the direction pointed by Liu Ximing, "Half of the land you see, half of Thailand has been forcibly occupied by the Shu Prince's Mansion, do you say that the people of Chengdu Mansion are rich?" ”
Chen Yiding, Xu Wei and others were all surprised, Shunqing was not named the fief of any prince, so everyone did not have a too intuitive impression of the power of the Shu Palace.
In such a comparison, everyone has the impression that the Chen family, the Huang family, etc., the biggest heroes in Shunqing, are simply harmless little white rabbits to humans and animals.
"The luxurious homes are not even there, the poor people have no tile, this court is sick, and the illness is unclear."
Du Liangji threw down such a sentence sullenly, no longer enjoyed the scenery, and got into the carriage without saying a word.
When he said this, Zhao Xiangyang and the others were also a little excited, and the group shook their heads and boarded the carriage and hurried towards Chengdu again.
Gradually, the huge city outline of Chengdu is getting closer and closer, and when he walks into the city gate, even Liu Ximing can't help but sigh a little.
Although the city wall of Chengdu is about three zhang compared to Shunqing, the city occupies a much larger area.
Liu Ximing vaguely remembered that the first ring road of modern Chengdu was built along the city wall, so the circumference of the entire city was about 22 miles, which was a great city in this era.
At this time, there was a crowd of people outside the east gate of Chengdu, and the merchants in horse-drawn carriages, short brown men carrying firewood, and lone passers-by leading donkeys were all blocked at the door waiting to enter the city.
However, what should have been a prosperous scene was ruined by a series of displaced people outside the city gates.
The mood of everyone in the team sank again, even Chengdu was like this, it seems that the natural disasters in the past few years are really sad.
Following the crowd, the convoy of Liu Ximing and others creaked to the city gate, and such a big battle made the soldiers guarding the gate stunned.
The carriage of the Liu family is different from other families, and it looks extremely exquisite from the outside, not to mention, even Li Biao and other guards are also wearing uniform cyan power suits.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way," a sharp-faced officer at the door shouted at a group of pedestrians crowded at the door, beckoning his men to clear a way for the Liu family's convoy.
"I don't know which noble family it is?" After doing all this, the team officer nodded and leaned over to the side of the convoy and asked respectfully.
Li Biaozheng didn't know how to answer, Liu Ximing opened the car door suddenly, pretending to be a little impatient and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, the master still has urgent matters, hurry up and let him go." ”
"Yes, yes, come on, let go", the team officer didn't see Liu Ximing's appearance clearly, and saw that the car door had been closed.
He looked at the ornamental patterns on the carriage, did not dare to say more, and smiled and beckoned his men to let him go.
"Hahaha", the convoy walked out of the city gate for a short time, and everyone in the carriage burst into laughter.
"Li Biao", Liu Ximing knocked on the carriage while smiling, "Let's find an inn first, and then find out if there is a suitable yard to rent tomorrow." ”
Dou Yuquan retracted his gaze looking out of the window, his expression was full of sighs, Liu Ximing knew that he was thinking of his own affairs again.
"Yuquan, when we settle down, go to your old house to see how it is, just let me wait for a tribute." , Liu Ximing proposed.
Dou Yuquan hesitated, "The murderer behind the scenes that Min Yue said has not been found out, will there be any danger if I go now, otherwise let me go by myself." ”
Liu Ximing waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let's not say that after so many years, it is impossible for those people to keep an eye on them, even if there is that, your business is my business, we will have to fight them sooner or later, come on." ”
"Don't go", Liu Ximing looked at Du Liangji, Xie Wenle and the others.
Without waiting for them to object, he explained: "I have Liujiacun as the backing, even if there are thousands of people, don't be afraid, you can wait for it differently, let's prepare for the exam with peace of mind first." ”
"How can we be greedy for life and afraid of death", Du Liangji shouted with a flushed face, "We are fellow scholars, Brother Yuquan suffered this great disaster, we should work together to help him find the murderer, and I will also take care of this matter." ”
"That's right", Xie Wenle also jumped out suddenly, "I'm a little unhappy on the road, only you Liu Xi is righteous, we are all greedy for life and afraid of death, don't you, you tell us the truth as it is." ”
Looking at the three people in the carriage, Liu Ximing began to have a headache, and he couldn't just say to them that you didn't really have any effect, right......
