Chapter 62 The semen female partner chooses to farm (12)
However, it was not her turn to comment on the former, as the prince did.
Presumably he would not just watch the people in his jurisdiction suffer from taxes.
The latter cannot be solved overnight, it takes time.
Now she has five or six high-quality rice varieties with large and plump grains on hand. She will try planting them in experimental fields this year to see which type of rice is most suitable for the local soil and water, and then vigorously promote it.
There are also potatoes, I have to find an opportunity to take them out.
If sweet potatoes are the representative of high yield in the north, then potatoes are the magic weapon of high yield in the south. With potatoes, at least the people can be fed first.
With the task of finding ten kinds of specialties that almost all locals know how to do but have not yet leaked out of the Southern Barbarians, Xu Yin took her nanny and maid to the streets in high spirits.
You have to pass through two streets to get to the house, so you might as well skip the horse-drawn carriage and just walk around.
Although Nanman is poor, the streets of Fucheng are still quite lively. Maybe the early market has not ended yet, and there is a constant stream of people coming and going.
There are many people buying things, and there are also many people selling things. Some are selling snacks on their shoulders, and some are shouting about wild fruits and medicinal materials found in the mountains.
Xu Yin walked around with great interest and bought anything new she saw.
Some are really cheap, one penny a handful, two pence a pack...
Medicinal materials such as wild ginseng are slightly more expensive, but they are still quite cheap compared to prices in Beijing.
Even Aunt Feng couldn't help but feel moved after seeing it. She knelt down and picked out a large bag of mangosteen, two wild ginseng plants that were ten years old, and a Ganoderma lucidum that was at least thirty years old, hoping to deliver them to her son in Beijing.
But when I thought about the one-way trip, it would take two months, and the variables were too great, so I had to stop thinking about it. But I still bought it, and it was cost-effective to keep it for myself.
Not to mention Xu Yin, she bought all the medicinal materials, wild products, and other food and supplies that she had never seen on the way south.
It wasn't until the hands of the maids and guards were so full that they couldn't hold it anymore before they stopped with regret.
On the way to the house, Xu Yin frowned when she heard the system ding several times in succession.
After a while, 900 energy points arrived.
Although there is still one random skill to activate, she is not in a hurry.
I just walked two streets and found nine items. I can't believe that in such a big city, I can't find the tenth specialty.
"Does anyone want this? Beautiful red stone, sold cheaply!"
As we approached the house, there was a dark-skinned, skinny boy squatting at the alley selling things.
Maybe I thought no one would buy it, and the solicitation was weak.
Xu Yin glanced casually and paused.
That's a dark red... stone?
No, this is not a stone!
I did physical experiments before, and the hematite I came into contact with was exactly the same as this one.
Xu Yin quickly stepped forward, held it in her hands and weighed it, and then looked at the color. It was almost hematite.
When the child saw someone coming, he stood up awkwardly and eagerly:
"Do you want to buy it? It's very beautiful, and it's hard. The sharp point can be used as a knife. If my father didn't think the leg needed money, I wouldn't be willing to sell it..."
"Why don't you go to the market to sell things?"
Dongxue looked at him suspiciously, could he be a liar?
The child wrung his fingers and lowered his head: "I need money to set up a stall at the market. I, I don't have any money."
Xu Yin's attention was all on this stone: "Is this the only one?"
"Yes, there are many! I know the place." The child heard her question and said with excitement, "There are many, many red stones like this over there, but they are too hard and difficult to dig out."
"Take me there." Xu Yin asked Dongxue to give him ten taels of silver. "This is the money to buy this stone. If there are really many such stones in the place you mentioned, I will reward you again."
"That's enough! That's enough!"
The child jumped three feet high with joy.
He didn't expect this stone to be sold for so much money. If he had known it, he would have sold it earlier.
He thought he could sell it for thirty or fifty cents at most, and he would have to like this kind of red stone as much as he did. Otherwise, as his mother said, he wouldn't be able to sell it for even five cents.
With ten taels of silver, his father's leg can be saved!
"thank you!"
He bowed deeply to Xu Yin.
"Go home quickly! Don't expose your money."
After Xu Yin finished speaking, she pointed to Sanjin House in front of her.
"Whenever you are free, come here to find me. If I am not here, I will ask the concierge to leave a message for you, and he will take you to me. Then you can lead me to find this kind of stone."
"good!"
The children responded happily.
After he left, Nanny Feng sighed: "Girl, you are so kind."
She thought that her daughter had a kind heart and wanted to help the child out of pity. Otherwise, this broken stone would not be worth ten taels of silver if it could not be sold for ten cents.
Xu Yin ignored her grandma's muttering.
She tossed the hematite and asked Dongxue to put it away, then gave it to Yan Kejin as a gift in return for the house and gold he gave.
Even though it is such a small piece, if hematite ore worth developing is really found, this gift will be worth a fortune.
…
Sanjin Mansion is a real mansion. Unfortunately, only the front yard, backyard and garden have been renovated and are still under repair.
Because I was getting married here, the palace steward had already brought people to arrange the wedding.
At first glance, everything is full of joy.
My eyes are sore after looking at it for a long time, but I have to admit that Yan Kejin is quite thoughtful.
Their marriage was forcibly brought together by an imperial edict.
What's more, he must be angry in his heart. Even if he hastily worships her, she won't have anything to say.
Everyone followed him to fief the land, and the form really didn't matter.
Before leaving Beijing, I was treated as a joke by the ladies of the same age.
Now, no matter how grand it is, relatives and friends in Beijing cannot see it.
But I'm still very happy. What woman doesn't want to be treated well?
Since she was going to get married in the house, Grandma Feng asked someone to move the box containing the phoenix crown and harem from the palace.
Originally, he wanted to move the dozens of dowries that had been stored in the treasury, but the prince sent someone to say that there was no need to move them, because he was ready.
"Girl, I can see that the prince treats you sincerely. You should also be kind to the prince in the future." Aunt Feng made a rare joke.
Xu Yin played with the iron ore in her hand and replied carelessly: "Yeah, yeah."
She associated iron ore with other mineral deposits.
In the Lingnan area, she remembered which mine had the largest mineral reserves, kaolin or coal? It wasn't iron ore anyway.
Yes!
She slapped her thigh and almost jumped with joy.
With so many mineral deposits, why worry about being poor? Wouldn’t you be rich if you started mining?
But she had to find out exactly where the mines were.
[Ding—Exploring the land of the Southern Barbarians, for each county explored, a map of that county will be rewarded. ]
The first task previously released jumped out at this time.
Maps of every county are sold in every city, so it’s not difficult to get them.
Why is this task posted again and again?
Xu Yin rubbed her chin, guessing the system's intention.
Could it be that the map produced by the system is different? What is the difference? Does it indicate the location of the mineral deposits?
