Chapter 3435 Extra Story 15

Teacher Mo agreed, there should be no problem, so she shook her head, "No."

Seeing that Bai Shan was still frowning, she whispered: "The court of that world also needs these things."

Bai Shan was puzzled, "Why?"

Zhou Man: "They can be regarded as experimental subjects. The people there have been plagued by a disease for many years. These experimental subjects can help them find a solution."

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and asked, "So their court can turn a blind eye to you?"

Zhou Man nodded.

Bai Shan asked: "Is it the same as those meteorites back then? What did you trade with them with meteorites? Rice seeds?"

Zhou Man: "...how do you know? I said so?"

"You didn't say that, I guessed it." She was suddenly sure that the rice seeds could grow as well as the new wheat seeds, and the yield could be increased on a large scale. For this reason, she set up a test field and asked her elder brother to cultivate it carefully.

Before and after they went to find the meteorite, she suddenly took out some new rice seeds every few months, and the state after planting them was all kinds of strange. Others only thought that the rice seeds she brought back were obtained from the Western Regions and other places, which were not suitable for Yongzhou. climate.

But Bai Shan has always been inseparable from her, and knowing that she can contact her little father-in-law, so he has been speculating about the origin of her new rice seeds.

Bai Shan is not stupid, he knows so much key information, some things can be almost guessed after a little association.

Although he never knew it, it wasn't his little father-in-law.

Bai Shan tidied up the room, opened the door and handed over the fruit branches to the servants outside, then turned around and said to Zhou Man: "The weather is getting colder and colder, we will go to Xiangzhou in a few days, I have asked people to go there to arrange , you have been playing in Liuzhou for the past two days, there is no rush for this matter, I will arrange it."

"Yeah," Zhou Man nodded again and again, cheering up, "Let's go to see the orange tree tomorrow, by the way, bring some kumquat branches and let Ah Shan and the others try to grow one."

Bai Shan laughed, "Take them all."

The village of Ashan’s family is a little far away from the state city. Their carriage is fast, but it still takes a day to walk. There are a lot of official documents in the governor’s mansion, so Lu Xiaofo can’t go with them. He sent them away with regret. Outside the city gate, "If you leave Lingnan, come to Liuzhou before your departure, and I will see you off."

Bai Shan smiled and said: "We will definitely come, I still have something to ask for your help."

When Lu Xiaofo heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and became happy, "You can just tell me if you have something to do."

Then he looked at Zhou Man, with a wider smile on his face, "Master Zhou, you can take a look at other places in Liuzhou. Aren't you going to Xiangzhou in two days? There are also beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is also very suitable for planting herbs."

This large area is under the jurisdiction of Liuzhou, no matter which state or county the medicine garden is located in, he will benefit from it.

Zhou Man responded with a smile.

After the carriage went out for a long time, Mingda asked Zhou Man, "Is this place really suitable for growing medicinal herbs?"

"Of course," Zhou Man said, "The climate and soil here are suitable for the growth of many medicinal herbs. You can see that every time I go to the mountains, I can dig a basket of medicinal herbs."

"The medicinal materials are planted here, will it be difficult to transport?"

Zhou Man said indifferently: "The Imperial Medical Office and the Ministry of Household Affairs will make their own assessments. I only make my own judgment, but if a medicine garden is set up here, the road will become more and more open."

She said: "Besides the Central Plains, there are also Huainan, Jiangnan, and Lingnan. The medicinal materials here cannot be sold in the Central Plains and Northern Regions. The circulation in the Jiangnan and Lingnan areas can also fill a lot of medicinal materials. At the same time, it can bring great benefits to Liuzhou."

Therefore, Lu Xiaofo's decision is not wrong. If he can win the establishment of a medicine garden under Liuzhou's jurisdiction, then in the next twenty years, Liuzhou will develop rapidly and gradually stabilize.

Moreover, Liuzhou also has water transport directly to the outside. As long as the river is dredged and the official roads are tidied up, the east, west, north, and south can be connected. This place can completely become a transportation hub. When there are more merchants, the medicinal materials here can be taken out.

"Not only the medicinal materials, but also the melons and fruits here." Bai Shan, who was riding beside the carriage, heard the discussion of the two people inside, and said with a smile: "For example, the kumquats you proposed to expand this time, and various The melons and fruits that are hard to find in the Central Plains and the North can all be sold outside like medicinal materials.”

Zhou Man: "If grafting between fruit trees can grow fruit with a better taste..."

Bai Shan smiled slightly, "Then Liuzhou will become more famous in the future."

So when he arrived at the place, Zhou Man handed over the fruit branches to Ah Shan, and encouraged him: "This is the kumquat that can be paid as a tribute. Do you want to try it too?"

Ah Shan was stunned, "This, this, can we grow here too?"

"Even if the taste is not as good as the tribute ones, it won't be so bad. After all, it's a place of water and soil," Zhou Man said, "You can also try to graft a section on the orange tree. I just took a look and found that your tree It bears a lot of fruit, much more than kumquats."

Ah Shan hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen a kumquat tree?"

"I've seen it before, and we picked a lot." Zhou Man generously asked Xibing to grab a handful for him, "Here, I brought it for you specially, try it."

Holding the kumquat stuffed in his hand, Ah Shan was very moved, and said loudly in clumsy Mandarin: "Madam, you are really a good person. What my father said is really wrong. Except for our governor, you Han people still have many good people."

Zhou Man: "...do you think that there are many bad people in the Han people?"

Ah Shan nodded fiercely, "There are quite a few bad ones. In the past few years, several merchants took a fancy to the pears grown in our village, saying that our pears are very delicious and are very popular when sold outside. The price is still high, let us increase it a bit.”

He said: "We just planted a lot of pear trees. You see, those on the mountain are all pear trees."

Zhou Man turned her head to look, but what caught her eyes was lush grass and trees that couldn't be seen clearly. She blinked, "I know the pear tree, don't lie to me."

"The pear trees are covered, and it's all because of those profiteers," Ah Shan said, "We planted a lot of pear trees, and they came to harvest after we agreed on the results, but they came, but they wanted to buy two of us for a penny. catties of pears."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he said bitterly: "We are wrong, pears cost two cents a catty."

Zhou Man asked curiously, "And then?"

"Then they wanted to buy three catties for a penny, and everyone was so angry that they beat them," Ah Shan said with a slight guilty conscience, "Then they asked the officials to arrest everyone in our village and put them in prison. gone."

Zhou Man and the others looked at him sympathetically, and asked, "You won't beat him up, will you?"

"No, they brought a lot of people here, and we didn't have time to beat them to death, so we pushed them," Ah Shan said, "Later, Lord Inspector heard about this and came to interrogate us in person and released us all. The merchants are very bad, we lost a lot of money, and made other Han people not accept our pears."

He sighed and said, "We have worked so hard to plant so many pear trees, fertilizing and pulling weeds every year, but we can't sell them after harvest, so everyone doesn't weed or fertilize. Now the orchards on the mountain have become like that. .”

Zhou Man: "Are there still pears on the tree now?"
