109 Champa Early Rice
Haijie County now doesn’t need Li You to work hard, he only needs to do one more thing, and he can go back, that is Champa rice. Grain production has greatly increased. Li You asked about this, Huanzhou still uses southern rice, not Champa early rice.
Just when Li You was thinking about leaving quickly, news of Gao Huailiang came over. Red sandalwood is expensive, Li You knows, but the real valuable is still incense agarwood, which is really expensive, and ordinary nobles dare not buy a large amount of it. But Li You is also very clear, that is, he can't take this now, he can only come back later when he is ready.
Gouzi knew the value of agarwood, and said to Li You: "Young Master, we can't let it go!"
Li You took a look at him and said, "You and I don’t know what's going on with this Kwabang, but one thing is clear. They must have a lot of people, and there are definitely real soldiers. You can’t Think of them as the aboriginal people. Besides, if we have only a few people, you dare to go there and make a fortune, and you have to wait until later. When I return to Yangzhou, I will bring Wang Yanzhang and others with me, and then go and see. There is no chance."
This is a tropical rain forest, not elsewhere. It is not easy to compete for a territory here. To fight in the jungle, Li Youke has to retrain his men.
Agarwood is too expensive, and Li You will definitely not let it go. The 50-acre pepper harvest in Lingnan Zhuhai Garden is only 50,000 per year. This is already a lot. This year he will be able to see the piles Money, but compared with agarwood, it is far worse, not to mention much, only ten roots are incense-bearing, and it is a complete agarwood, which can exceed this price. Now that there are so many people in the family, it is definitely not enough to not earn some extra money, and this is not impossible. As long as there is a chance, Li You will never let it go.
"Young Master, when shall we go back?" Gouzi asked about this again.
"Tomorrow we will sail southeast, we can go back when we buy Champa rice."
"Isn't Champa rice just a kind of rice?" Gouzi asked uncertainly, he didn't know what it was for.
"Champa rice is different. This rice can mature in two months. After it is mature, we can plant our own rice again, so that the rice can be produced in two crops a year."
Gouzi and looked at Li You incredulously and said, "Really, then... If that's the case, there is no one who can't eat enough in this world!"
Li You shook his head slightly and said, "You want to go wrong. No matter how much food there is, there will always be people who can’t get enough to eat. Not to mention that the rich and gentry families nowadays have more food and want everyone to eat It’s very rare to have a full meal. To say you don’t like to hear it, you flee from natural disasters and man-made disasters, and then you didn’t have enough to eat. Do you remember that you were all skinny at the time. Will there be no food to eat in the world? If those big clans put some food out, it will be your turn to escape there!"
"Young Master, this is also arranged by the heavens. If the young one didn’t have such a thing in the first place, he couldn’t say where he could still suffer and suffer, and there will be the current situation, without worrying about food and clothing, but he can learn from the young master. Something less."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, you go to explain, you will sail tomorrow, and today you will find someone who can speak Linyi's local dialect as an interpreter."
"Yes, young master."
The next day, at dawn, the boat left Haijie County and headed for the southeast. They didn’t travel fast, and they were still walking along the coast. The purpose was not to miss the harbor city. As long as they saw a harbor, they Will stay until I find Champa Rice.
The weather today was not bad, the wind was not strong, the boat was not moving fast, and the hull was only slightly shaking. This gave Li You a good night’s sleep. The dog never dared to disturb him. I really waited until Li You. After she woke up naturally, she fetched water to wash Li You. The dog on the table prepared a bowl of porridge for Li You and added some pickles.
After breakfast, Li You got out of the cabin. At this time, the sun was already high in the sky. It seemed that it should be around ten o'clock, and it was almost two hours before the ship was moving. After staying on the deck for a while, Li You went back to the cabin to read a book. He also knew that he would not see the port town until the afternoon at the earliest. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
It was really unexpected. When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, they finally saw a small seaside town. Unfortunately, there was no Champa rice here, and the southern rice was still used. Apparently, they had to move on. Looking for it, but Li You knows very well that he will find Champa rice tomorrow, because tomorrow their boat will arrive in Champa. Champa rice is named because later generations directly added the place name to the rice introduced here.
The port in Champa is not big because it is still dominated by fishing boats. Like Li You's boat, it is already considered a big one. Today, when their boat docked at the pier, it attracted a lot of onlookers. Li You didn't care about these people. The two of them brought an interpreter from Haijie County with them, and walked quickly. To the shore. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
After finding an interpreter, I successfully found a shop selling grain in the city. The grain here is really Champa rice, and it is also grain, which is exactly what Li You wanted. Li You didn't ask how much it was, and he gave two golds directly. The owner of the grain shop was also happy. After receiving the money, he asked someone to load the cart and transport the grain to the dock.
Just when the boss arranged to transport the grain, Li You found another good thing in the store, that is aloe, or a kind of aloe with thick leaf flesh, he has not seen this thing in Datang, he is sure it is It came here from India, he must take this thing back, because aloe vera is really so useful.
But he saw that this thing was placed on a wooden shelf by the boss in the shop. It is estimated to be rare. He didn't ask whether it was sold or not. He just took away the seedlings that came out of the tiller when the boss was not paying attention. Just this small branch is enough, and it will grow in pieces in a few years.
After leaving the city, Li You saw that there was bamboo beside the road, so he cut a piece, pryed the soil into the bamboo tube, and settled the aloe vera well. When he returned to the boat, Li You was very happy. He had to bring something unexpectedly. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
The dog also squatted down, looked at the small aloe plant that was less than two inches long and asked, "Young Master, what good thing is this?"
"This is just a medicine, and its pulp has a very good healing effect on skin wounds and burns."
Li You only said this, and didn't mention the others. If he said too much, the dog couldn't understand it. Aloe contains dozens of elements, which are almost completely consistent with the substances required by human cells. This is something with obvious health care value. (End of this chapter)
