The official ship went out of the Lion Ocean, along the coastline all the way to the west to reach Qiongzhou, all the way as Ma Shi said, the weather is very good, every day is sunny and shining.

It's just that these five northern men still lack the experience of long-term sailing after all.

At first, it was okay, but from the next day, there were seasickness reactions one after another, Jin Qi appeared first, and then several people turned on vomiting mode as if they were infected.

"Childe! Son! We're here. ”

At noon that day, Guo Mao rushed into Zhu Qizhen's room like crazy, and shouted excitedly regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

Zhu Qizhen, who was originally holding the wooden barrel, raised his head, revealing a big face with deep eye sockets.

"Help me up!"

"Hey!" Fan Zhong agreed, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Qizhen's arm, and the two walked out of the cabin.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if it's true that the rocking amplitude of the hull becomes smaller after docking.

When they stood on the deck, several people's weak bodies had extra strength, and they looked at Haikou Port in front of them, and their eyes were full of longing for land.

Haikou Port belongs to Haikou Institute, that is, Haikou City in the future, next to the capital city of Qiongzhou. Also because of the connection to Leizhou Mansion, it is the largest port of Qiongzhou Mansion at this time.

Days of good weather have also made the port more frequent, and now is the busiest time of the day, with a constant stream of ships of all sizes coming in and out of the port.

And next to the official ship that Zhu Qizhen was on, a "Willow Heart" had just docked in.

"Is this ship Liu Xinju's?" Zhu Qizhen asked the boat boss curiously.

Although the boss of the ship didn't know what the identities of these distinguished guests were, he might not be a small person who might have been sent to the ship by Senator Zeng personally, so his attitude was naturally very good along the way.

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's question, he hurriedly replied: "Your guest's eyes are like torches, it is indeed Liu Xinju's merchant ship, you see a gourd painted next to the ship's number, which means that it is used by its pharmacy." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect them to run a pharmacy in addition to running an inn."

When the captain heard this, he came to his senses, and said with pride in his tone: "I heard that your guest accent is from the north, and it's normal that you don't know."

The inns and pharmacies under Liu Xinju are well-known in several nearby provinces.

I often run outside, as long as there is a place where Liu Xin lives, who doesn't say a word of benevolence!

Not to mention that the inn takes in homeless people, this pharmacy is also a free clinic every once in a while to deliver medicine, Liu Dashan is really a good person

A living bodhisattva! ”

Xiong Zongli also testified: "I have been here in Qiongzhou a few times, every time as long as there is malaria, Liu Xinju will come to help, and the medicine brought will not take a penny. ”

The two of them said this, which made Zhu Qizhen more and more curious, packed his luggage and said goodbye to the boat boss, and as soon as he got off the boat, he met Liu Xinju's ship loading and unloading and transportation workers.

A man who looked like a steward stood next to the signboard and shouted vigorously: "Ladies and gentlemen, the medicine sent to the malaria area on the ship is the medicine sent to the malaria area, and the new prescription prescribed by Mr. Xiong from the Tai Hospital is to use Artemisia annua to treat malaria."

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

This is from all over the freshly picked and transported, because to take the juice to take, so to send it to the ward as soon as possible, now there is a shortage of manpower, loading and unloading and transportation costs are added to three percent, and I hope that all the fathers and elders will sign up! ”

Although the salary has been increased by 30%, it is still less popular, there are really few idle workers, and there is a hot scene everywhere.

The shopkeeper had to shout over and over again, hoping that a few more passers-by would be willing to earn this money.

"Are you giving this herb for free?" Zhu Qizhen stepped forward to ask.

The steward is as kind as the shopkeeper in Shaozhou, although he doesn't look like Zhu Qizhen is dressed like a hard-working person, but he also patiently explains:

"Naturally, it is sent for free, our owner said, the medicinal materials used in the epidemic are not taken, and you can't lose virtue because you make money, you have to do more for the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Won't you lose money? Will a businessman buy and sell at a loss? Zhu Qizhen wondered.

When asked like this, the steward became more enthusiastic: "You are right, if you really lose money, the owner will not be able to do it!"

It's just that our Liu Xinju has always been aiming for small profits, and as long as we make a little money, we will be satisfied.

The owner also said that most of the profits were spent on our food and clothing, and it was not in vain.

I see that you have just come to Qiongzhou, right? Is there a place to stay? It's better to go to our Liu Xinju to have a look, now new customers can enjoy half-price service. Our Hainanese chicken rice is the most authentic! Make sure you still want to eat after eating. ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, but the steward was not disappointed but said: "You can go whenever you want, if it is inconvenient now, when it is convenient, as long as you go to Liu Xinju and say that you have just come to Qiongzhou, you can enjoy half-price service." ”

"Why is that?" Zhu Qizhen didn't understand again.

The steward said as a matter of course: "This is not Qiongzhou, there are still some remote areas, most of the people inhabited are local Li people, the population is not large, and many places have not been cultivated

Come out.

Qiongzhou rice can be harvested three times a year, and there are more people, so that everyone is not better off, and the excess grain can also be transported to the north, so that the people of the world can eat more than one bite of food! ”

"Isn't this what the government is going to do?" Zhu Qizhen was a little unhappy.

What do those people eat? Let the businessman do everything that should be done, is it possible that he has slept all day in the yamen?

The governor said: "This is what the Liang Governor of Qiongzhou supports to do, he said that the government has a lot of things that are inconvenient to intervene directly, so he can only do it with our businesses, and the effect is good, and the Liang Governor is a good official." ”

Zhu Qizhen's face eased at this time, the two chatted for a while, but a few people came to sign up, and the Liu Xin behind him had already begun to unload, and the steward saw that no one was coming again, so he had to put away the recruitment card and take people to prepare to leave.

"Hey, this steward, isn't he hiring?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

The steward sighed and said: "This son, you have also seen it, there is really no one, it is better to unload the medicinal materials as soon as possible, don't delay it for a long time and there will be any problems in the sun, if you want to go to the Liuxinju Inn to see, just go out of the dock and ask casually to know, the villain will be busy first." ”

"This steward, I'm asking, do you still need someone to unload the goods?" Zhu Qizhen asked again.

No matter how good the steward was, he was a little annoyed by the question, frowned and looked at Zhu Qizhen, and said with a strong backlash: "Move!" I'll leave first if Childe is fine. ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Since you are recruiting, what do you think of the five of us?" ”

As soon as these words came out, whether it was the steward, even the shirtless stevedores next to him were also stunned, why did this person still rob us of work in Ayaro?

Fan Zhong and the others have long been accustomed to this long-lived master's whimsical imagination, and they are not surprised at all when they hear that the emperor wants to unload goods for people.

"You?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and asked again: "Are you recruiting?" ”

The steward was also refreshed, nodded and said, "Move!" You don't feel dirty, tired, we can't ask for it. ”

"Then let's say okay first, we don't want a penny, we just want to send the medicine to the ward in one piece, do you think?" Zhu Qizhen's words were not shocking, and he was endless.

Suddenly, the eyes of several stevedores widened: I'm afraid this person is not a fool, right?

The steward didn't choke on it, and after repeated confirmation, he was sure that this person was not playing himself, and led everyone to the cargo hold.

Following the steward, there are workers whispering from time to time, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't care, my old Zhu family's country, there is no reason to only let others contribute!
