Fangjia Village came to this group of officials and soldiers, these days caused the villagers to panic, Qian Shi and the village is also to the villagers to promise that nothing will happen, this makes the villagers no longer worry too much, but still retain some vigilance, after all, these are officers and soldiers, although I heard that they came to Fangjia Village to learn what farming methods, but in the bottom of their hearts are a little afraid of these officers and soldiers.

Fang Jing's family is still the same as usual, there are basically no major changes, they can do whatever they want, but the little babies are curious, they will go to the big banyan tree every day to see the strangeness, Fang Jing doesn't know where these little babies got such great curiosity.

Chen Erlin and his wife will go to the field every day to check the crops planted, and they will pull out some other weeds when they are free in the rice field, and there are relatively more basic weeds in other fields.

"Brother, when will this watermelon grow?" Fang Yuan touched a small watermelon that had just grown and asked Fang Jing.

"It's going to take more than a month, but my brother will take you to Jiangnan in a few days, do you want to go?" Fang Jing sat on the ridge and smoked, looking at the little girl, she couldn't wait for this little watermelon.

"Brother, really? Going to Gangnam? The little girl hurriedly trotted to Fang Jing's side, hugged Fang Jing's legs, and asked with longing in her eyes.

"Well, in a few days, get rid of the grass first, and then I can take you there." Fang Jing also felt that she should take the little girl to the south to have a look, even if it was good to walk around at will, so that the little girl often had nothing to do and always said to Fang Jing that she wanted to eat lobster.

In the next two days, Fang Jing was basically nailed to the field, except for eating, all the time was spent in weeding, the newly opened fields were so troublesome, and they had to add some fertilizer to these crops regularly, otherwise, the weeds would absorb the nutrients of the ground fertilizer, and there would be only grass and no melons at that time, which would become the first joke in Datang.

"Uncle, aunt, I took my little sister to the south today to see, I don't know when I can come back, it is estimated that it will take a month or two, when the crops in the field are to be harvested, ask the money servant to get some people to help, I told the money waiter, as long as the time comes, just say it." Fang Jing said to Chen Erlin and his wife.

"Well, okay, Jing Wazi, then you have to be careful along the way." Chen Erlin and his wife had long known that Fang Jing was going to take Fang Yuan to the south, but they didn't ask too much about it, which could be regarded as an increase in knowledge.

"Jing Wazi, why do you really want to go to the south? I don't know what's going on over there, but be careful. Zhang Xiaoxia knew that she couldn't stop Fang Jing, so she had to tell Fang Jing's brothers and sisters.

"Little uncle and aunt, we will be careful, if there is something at home, we will find money to serve them, then we will leave." Fang Jing took Fang Yuan's hand and carried a burden, which contained some clothes and shoes that he usually wore, of course, Fang Yuan's favorite shoes were worn on his feet at this time.

Everyone in the family sent Fang Jing's brothers and sisters to the big banyan tree, and the group of officials not far from the big banyan tree saw Fang Jing and their group, and they didn't know what the situation was, but Qian Shi and Zhong Dahuai came over to send Fang Jing and the sisters together, Fang Jing led the little sister all the way slowly, and then said goodbye to everyone, everyone in the family waved goodbye, this is the second time that Fang Jing's brothers and sisters left Fangjia Village, most of them used to be Fang Jing left alone for a few days, but now it will take a month or two to go to the south, which makes the little babies feel a little depressed, Only Fang Yuan was so happy that he jumped all the way, and even Xiong Er forgot about it.

Fang Jing took Fang Yuan's little hand and walked on the path out of the village, the little girl was happy, she finally went out, can she not be happy?

"Brother, where are we going to the south this time?" Fang Yuan raised his head and looked at Fang Jing and asked.

"Little sister, let's go to Jingzhou first, and then go east, directly to Yangzhou, and we'll talk about it later." Fang Jing explained to the little girl.

In fact, Fang Jing didn't have a clear route of travel, probably just going to Yangzhou first, and then starting to go south, at least he could take his little sister to appreciate the taste of southern China.

Jiangnan is the granary of the entire Chinese history, all dynasties and generations rely on the grain of Jiangnan, there are various silk fabrics such as mulberry linen silk cotton brocade, the north is relatively much less, although Henan and Hebei have large areas of plains, but every time there is a war, it will be affected, but in every war, it will be the first to attack these plain areas, in peacetime, there is indeed a large amount of grain, but throughout the history of China, how many peacetime there are, either war or all kinds of disasters.

However, the south is a little different, in the hilly areas, there are droughts, but there are very few, and there are more floods, because the south has more rain, and the rivers flow more, so that the mountains and forests are thickly populated, but the south also has the shortcomings of the south, the roads are much less than those in the north, and there are many bandits, the old clans in the townships are even worse, and the people live more hard.

After Fang Jing and his sister left the path, they walked towards the mountains and forests, and the brothers and sisters didn't say much, until they reached a place where no one could see, jumped into the sky, and walked through the air.

"Brother, look, that's the county seat, I saw it last time." The little girl is not honest, above this high altitude, looking at Pingli County, shouting.

"Little sister, don't say more, let's go to Jingzhou first." Fang Jing said to the little girl.

Fang Jing was afraid that the little girl would experience this high-altitude trip again, and she would not be able to stand it, just like last time, except that she was frozen, and later, when Fang Jing flew away, the little girl would vomit, just need to rest for a while, this time Fang Jing just flew in the air, not fled.

There were many mountain and forest villages under his feet, including Guizhou (Zigui) Xiazhou (Yichang), and after a quarter of an hour, he saw a big city below, Fang Jing guessed that it should be Jingzhou City, so he took Fang Yuan and fell down.

"Little sister, there is Jingzhou City in front, let's go into the city to have a look, if there is nothing to see, let's go to Yangzhou again." Fang Jing led Fang Yuan out of the mountains and forests outside Jingzhou City.

"Brother, is that Jingzhou City? It seems to be bigger than the two cities we just saw. The little girl looked at Jingzhou City not far away and said.

"It's much more than other cities, let's go, let's take a look at the city first." Fang Jing looked at Jingzhou City in front of him, a bit like an ancient city of war, and then led Fang Yuan towards the city gate.

Jingzhou City, also called Jiangling City in ancient times, can be said to be a famous ancient city in history, the time can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, the former capital of Chu State, the more famous is Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Gong carelessly lost Jingzhou such a story, of course, in addition to the place where the war must be fought, there are also many famous sentences of literati, just like Li Bai's "Dynasty Speech White Emperor Caiyun, Thousands of Miles of Jiangling in a Day" in Jiangling is referring to Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, is a city where passing ships must dock, all kinds of merchants from north to south or from west to east, will basically take Jingzhou as a resting place, and even more, Jingzhou as a transit station, after all, Jingzhou is an excellent place for these merchants.

"Brother, what's that? Can you eat it? Fang Yuan asked, pointing to the shop that sold oil cakes in front of him.

"Well, you can eat it, and my brother will buy a few in a while to taste it." Fang Jing is also curious, there is this kind of fried pastry in Jingzhou?

In fact, the oil cake is relatively much less, but some people can't stop buying it to eat, at least for some merchants, or the post officer, it is a delicious snack, to make this kind of oil cake, relatively speaking, just need to waste some edible oil.

Fang Jing took out the usual money from the burden and bought three oil cakes, one oil cake for ten cents, Fang Jing felt that this was a robbery, the oil cake was not small, but the price was really a little scary, ordinary people, who was willing to spend this money to buy oil cakes to eat, and only some rich businessmen or people with some money would buy some oil cakes to solve their problems.

"Little sister, give it, you eat two, brother and I eat one, this oil cake is so expensive, one will cost ten cents." Fang Jing handed two oil cakes to the little girl, and muttered about the price of the oil cakes.

"Thank you, brother." No matter how expensive the little girl is, she can eat it, but it must be delicious, otherwise the little girl will not want to eat it.

"Brother, it's delicious, can you make this oil cake at home?" After Fang Yuan took a bite, he felt that the taste was okay, and asked Fang Jing if he could make it at home.

"Little sister, the taste of this oil cake is average, my brother is better than him, this sugar is too little, only a little sweet, when the time comes, my brother will make it for you when I go home." Fang Jing took a bite of the oil cake, and felt that it could only be tasted, the taste was really not sweet enough, maybe because the sugar was too expensive, and he was reluctant to put sugar, otherwise it could be more delicious.

The brother and sister bit the oil cake, walked around Jingzhou City casually, and commented on the passers-by from time to time, the pace of the brother and sister was small, and the Jingzhou City was visited for nearly half an hour, and then they walked to the south gate.

"Brother, are we going to take a boat? I haven't been on a boat yet. Fang Yuan, who went out of the south gate, saw the boats coming and going on the Yangtze River, and people from all walks of life were also very busy.

"You want to take a boat? Okay, then we'll take a boat down the river today. "Fang Jing doesn't care, you can go anywhere, anyway, you have time, money, I also brought two gold cakes, I think it's enough to spend, if it's not enough, let's talk about it then."

"Little brother, are you going to take a boat? Dare to ask where the little brother goes? An old man ran close to Fang Jing's brother and sister and asked Fang Jing.

"Our brother and sister are going to go to Yuezhou, has your boat arrived? If I can't, I'll look somewhere else. Fang Jing said to the old man.

Fang Jing didn't have a specific goal, where to go, it was okay to go to Yuezhou first, and then she could go to Yangzhou as well, just let this little girl experience the feeling of taking a boat first.

"Little brother, our ship is passing through Yuezhou, but we will stop in Yuezhou today to rest, I don't know what the little brother thinks?" The old man replied to Fang Jing.

"Oh? Your ship can get to Yuezhou, right? How many copper coins are we two brothers and sisters together? We need to have a seat, and if we don't have a seat, then forget it. Fang Jing thought that from Jingzhou to Yuezhou, it was estimated that it would be about 400 miles by water, and it was less than ten o'clock in the morning, and he would definitely be able to reach Yuezhou today.

"Little brother, don't worry, the seats on the passenger ship are basically available, how about the two of you count five hundred yuan together?" The old man estimated that Fang Jing had never taken a passenger ship, and thought it was a cargo ship, so he offered Fang Jing a price.

"Okay, you wait here for a while, we need to buy some food." Fang Jing took Fang Yuan to buy some food, and followed the old man on a passenger boat.
