Chapter 255: Jiujiang

Wan Qianyang's question is also very normal, in fact, it is also a casual question,

"Oh, I see, Andy, let's inspect the goods first, and then let's continue on the road. Do you still need supplies here? Wan Qiyang is ready to complete the matter in hand in a few clicks.

In fact, Wan Qiyang is also going through the motions, but now these seeds are not as good as the varieties of later generations, just primitive seeds. But he still has to do this, business belongs to business, and the attitude must be correct, otherwise others really think that they don't know how to deal with these problems!

Wan Qiyang in each ship has a random inspection, and some are damaged during transportation, Wan Qianyang ordered his subordinates to take away the broken ones and the broken surrounding ones together, seeing that Wan Qiyang is familiar with these things, the foreigner Andy also agrees very much, after all, who doesn't care about his business, these also determine the quality of a person.

Wan Qiyang is basically satisfied, after all, although the size of those excellent varieties in later generations is large, it is because of the use of compound fertilizer, but the original taste is not as good as the taste of the old varieties. What's more, now there is only organic fertilizer, so Wan Qiyang decided to sow a large area, so that the harvest will be guaranteed!

"Andy, there is basically no problem, is this batch of corn seeds directly harvested in India? It feels like the time is about the same, and some of them are not dry enough. Wan Qiyang is also particularly concerned about corn, because it can replace the current staple food of the main meal.

"Uh.... To be honest, I don't know where these produce come from, and I just got the task that the company gave me to complete. Since there is nothing wrong with the gentleman, shall we be ready to go? Mr. Andy's own heart is also relieved, at least the current difficulties have been overcome, and the company has given himself such a heavy task, and at the same time, he has promised himself a reward. So now he is also very happy in his heart, because these rewards are directly cashed in the country, and his family will at least not have any difficulties in life.

"Alright, let's keep going." Wan Qiyang gave the signal to set off, and everyone got on the boat, and it is rare to see such a long group of ships on this road, so each ship is equipped with due sailors, because it is going upstream, if the wind is not enough, it still needs manpower to move forward.

There are still five or six cities and wharves along the way, so Wan Qiyang followed the back of the cargo ship all the way, and when he went to a supply, Wan Qiyang was very generous to pack the coolies on the ship to eat, and also let him bring dry food or steamed buns and other food, so everyone was quite hardworking, it would have taken nearly a week to reach Jiujiang Mansion, but it was shortened by more than a day, it seems that the working people at this time are kind and simple, as long as you are good to them, they will think of ways to repay you.

When they arrived in Jiujiang Mansion, Wan Qianyang and his party of eleven people, including Zhuang Ming and three people, Song Changqing and Wan Qiyang six. The rest of the people continued to follow the boat upward, all the way to let the boat sent by Zhuang Yang follow, the same in the above supply points let Song Changqing's people pay the bill, and finally Wan Qiyang also stipulated that everyone worked together to protect the food after the smooth arrival of the bonus, of course, except for the foreigner firm that should be paid, after a double reward, Wan Qiyang is really much more relieved, presumably at this time Lord Cheng should also go to Chengdu, Sichuan to take office, the same his own batch of letters should also be received by him.

The name of Jiujiang was first seen in the records of "Jiujiang Kongyin" and "crossing Jiujiang to Dongling" in "Shangshu Yugong". There are two origins of the title of Jiujiang, one is that "nine" is the largest number considered by ancient Chinese, "Jiujiang" means "the place where many waters gather", and "nine" is a virtual finger; The second is "thinking that the nine rivers of the Huhan Dynasty (i.e., Ganjiang water, Po water, Yushui, Xiushui, Ganshui, Xushui, Shushui, Nanshui, Pengshui) enter Peng Lize", that is, the place where the nine rivers converge, and "nine" is the real reference. The Yangtze River flows through the waters of the Jiujiang River, and the rivers adjacent to Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, and Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui provinces converge. Poyang Lake in ancient times had Peng Lize, Guanting Lake and other titles, after a long historical years, in the geology, meteorology, hydrology and other conformity, long-term development, Peng Lize to the south, the lake water crossed the Songmen Mountain to reach the vicinity of Boyang County, so it was renamed Poyang Lake. Before the southward invasion of the lake, the south of Songmen Mountain was originally the densely populated Xiaoyang Plain, with the continuous southward invasion of the lake, Xiaoyang County and Haiyang County in the Poyang Lake Basin were successively flooded into the water, and there was a saying in history that "Shenxiaoyang starts from Duchang, and Shenhai rises from Wucheng". After a long period of evolution, Poyang Lake formed the prototype of modern Poyang Lake about 16oo years ago, like a huge treasure gourd tied to the belt of the Yangtze River.

Since ancient times, the Poyang Lake basin has been a relatively wealthy area in China's economy, and many outstanding figures in China's history, such as Xu Zhi, Tao Yuanming, Lin Shihong, Liu Shu, Hong Shi, Jiang Wanli, Zhu Qi, etc., have lived in the lake area. There have been many mighty and majestic heroic deeds here, such as Zhou Yu's training of sailors, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang's water battle at Poyang Lake, and Li Liejun's "second revolution" at the mouth of the lake. Poyang Lake was the only waterway that entered Jiangxi from the north in ancient times, and the anecdotes and folklore of the literati who were born on Poyang Lake are innumerable. The famous sentence of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng": "The fishing boat sings at night, ringing on the shore of Pengli", which describes the joyful scene of the fishermen returning from fishing on Poyang Lake. The Song Dynasty poet Su Shi wrote in the poem "Li Sixun Painted the Picture of the Yangtze River Island" that "the mountains are vast, the water is vast, and the middle of the aunt and Xiaogu River" describes the beautiful scenery of Poyang Lake.

Since the Jin Dynasty, Jiujiang has become the capital of "rice merchant Najia". During the Tang and Song dynasties, Jiujiang was the famous "land of fish and rice" in the south of the Yangtze River, and its rice, tea, sericulture, fish fry, bamboo, wood, ships and other best-selling places, was one of the "three major tea markets" and "four major rice markets" in the country. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiujiang has become an important production base for rice, cotton, tea and freshwater fish, and at the same time commercial trade has become more prosperous.

When he came to Jiujiang Mansion, Wan Qiyang naturally compared it with the records he knew one by one as a historical observer, and the current history was still written by later generations when he recalled it, and there were still many differences, so in addition to rarely making mistakes in time, there were even some things that would be crowned and Li Dai. After all, it is the seat of a state capital, and it seems that it is densely populated, and the agriculture here is great, and by the way, it has also led to the handicraft industry and other commercial exhibitions, in addition to several famous cities in history, Wan Qiyang feels that this Jiujiang Mansion is also a good place, and there are so many historical celebrities here, which also shows that it is at least in terms of commerce, and there is a comfortable environment to attract countless literati.
