Chapter 110: From Quanzhou to Yazhou
The wharf is full of people, there are solicitors, and those who do business directly, Xu Ling is dizzying.
Many businessmen travel by their own boats, after all, it is quite far from Quanzhou to Yazhou, and they want to do business without a plug-in like Xu Ling, so they naturally need manpower and loading tools.
However, there are also some people like Xu Ling, who only carry their burdens on the boat and go to look for business opportunities and negotiate business.
Xu Ling got on a very large boat, and there were a few very special people with him.
It was two officials escorting an exiled prisoner.
The prisoner was shackled with his hands and feet, his hair was scattered, but he was not as depressed as written on TV in his previous life, he was wearing clean prison clothes, and when he was arrested and pushed, he said good-naturedly: "You should be lighter, if you hurt me, my father will not give you money!" ”
"Master Lin, you better hurry up, we have fulfilled your wish to take a boat to Yazhou, what else do you want?"
"That's what I said, sir, isn't it also for your good that I take the boat? Don't you know that Yazhou is a vast and sparsely populated place, a real barren land, and the forest is full of beast miasma. ”
"Master, I have good physical fitness, and I am still alive and well after walking such a long way in winter, alas, I don't know if the little ladies in Wangchun Garden miss me, unlike you, didn't you get sick a few days ago?"
Xu Ling's attention was easily attracted by these people, and he happened to walk behind these three people, listening to the chatter of the young man of "Master Lin", and his heart was noisy.
How is this person like Tang Seng?
"Okay, okay, take the boat, take the boat, you hurry! Oops hey! The New Year is coming soon, and my brothers and I still want to go home for the New Year! ”
"Chinese New Year? Alas, I really envy that you can still go home and spend the New Year on the hot kang with your daughter-in-law and children......"
Finally climbing onto the boat, Xu Ling walked two steps briskly, and when he passed the young man, he glanced curiously.
What a handsome man!
Rao is a human being in his two lives, especially in his previous life, he was a ruthless handsome guy appreciation machine, and he still let out a sigh of emotion in his heart when he saw the man in front of him.
Good guy, it's amazing to be handsome, even if you wear a prison suit, it's the down-and-out Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Wu Yanzu who asks for food.
The man also happened to look over, the two looked at each other, and the next second, Xu Ling pretended to look around and left the deck without panic.
Coincidentally, the two officials who escorted the prisoners lived next door to Xu Ling's room, and he didn't go out on the boat all day, and worked hard in the space every day to cultivate the land.
Today, the family has accumulated ten acres of land.
One and a half acres of land is used to plant precious Chinese medicinal materials, and most of the seeds bought from Dr. Chai in Lingbao Town have survived, and some are scattered intensively, and Xu Ling also specially pulled out some seedlings.
The two plots of land next to the Chinese medicinal materials were used to plant some fruit trees he encountered on the way to trade, such as the jujube tree outside the village, the pear tree in Mrs. Li's house, and the peach branches, plums, and figs that he asked for when he passed by the door of other people's houses, all of which were alive and neatly planted in the space.
Go next door, there is about five acres of vegetable land, Chinese cabbage is the most, and other vegetables are relatively few, but vine vegetables such as beans and cucumbers are built up with shelves, and the yield is particularly high.
There are also two acres of land, Xu Ling opened up a paddy field and a dry land, which were used to grow rice and wheat respectively.
The two grain fields have just been planted in the first round, and they have not yet been tasseled and filled, but according to Xu Ling's planting experience of half a bucket of water, the yield per mu will be higher than that outside.
There were elders' cabbages in the space before, and after Xu Ling took the seeds, he sowed these cabbages again, and it turned out that the second-generation cabbage that grew from the seeds produced in the space was uniformly larger, and the taste seemed to be better.
Xu Ling had a conjecture in his heart at that time, so he opened up two experimental fields to confirm it.
The seeds taken into the space outside are called the first generation "XX", and the seeds that bear after the maturity of the first generation XX are the second generation "XX", if the yield per mu increases a lot after the second generation of seeds mature, will there be any changes to the outside world?
Xu Ling has no experience, so he can only experiment step by step.
It's going to be a long process, but there's room for it, and he's much happier than some of the experimenters in his previous life.
Xu Ling methodically planned what he wanted to do.
He went to Yazhou on this trip, first, for the tropical crops there, secondly, for the spices there, to quickly accumulate wealth, so that he could go home for the New Year before the year, and thirdly, the out-of-season vegetables in the grocery store were too eye-catching, and he had to find a justifiable reason.
It takes seven days to travel back and forth from Quanzhou to Yazhou, and Xu Ling was bored in the room for three days, planting vegetables and collecting vegetables to cook and eat by himself.
Occasionally out of the space, he could obviously feel that the temperature of the outside world was rising, and the cotton clothes on his body were taken off, and Xu Ling took out the autumn clothes that had been prepared long ago from the space.
On the day of disembarkation, the weather in Yazhou is sunny, cloudless, the seagulls are chirping, and the island not far away is full of jungles, but the traces of human population can be faintly seen.
"Master Lin, we'll send you here, you have to be careful on your own road in the future!"
When Xu Ling went out, the two officials next door were talking to the prisoner.
As long as the prisoners are handed over to the local government, they can go home.
Lin Lezhi sighed, "For more than a month, I have regarded you as friends, and now I am really reluctant to separate from you." ”
An official also said: "Master Lin, although the two of us have been inconsiderate along the way, we can be regarded as admiring your personality from the bottom of my heart." Although Yazhou is a barren land, Master Lin has already asked someone to take care of it, and your life will not be so sad. ”
Xu Ling leaned behind the door, waiting for the three of them to finish speaking, so as not to be eye-catching.
I don't know what kind of mistake this man has made to be exiled here. This is not a tourist attraction in the previous life, the language barrier, the uprootedness, and the miasma of fierce beasts here, it should be a little better than exile to Ningguta.
But the rich say otherwise.
This man can even buy the exile, and the family is probably not bad for money.
Xu Ling sighed in his heart, why are other people's lives so good?
After the three finished speaking, the shackles on Lin Lezhi's hands and feet were untied.
In addition to not being able to leave Yazhou, his personal freedom on weekdays is not restricted at all.
It's good to be a flower in the court, and to be a governor of a place at a young age, if not...... He is not where he is now.
With a wry smile, Lin Lezhi straightened his prison uniform, straightened his back, and strode out with his head up.
"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person."
"Two, meet again!"
The three people next door were separated, and there was no other sound outside, so Xu Ling opened the door, followed far behind, and then entered the flow of people, got off the boat together, and arrived in Yazhou.
