Exiled to Lingnan, my plants are miraculous

Chapter 28 A visit to the county town

The three members of the Li family were clearly arranged, and no one cared about their wishes.

Zhao Goudan, Liu Tiezhu and others, who had their ears pricked up on the side, looked horrified. What was the origin of this new exile? Not to mention that they had spare money to hire people to build a tree house, and that was the luxurious meal at noon. They had lived in this place since they were young. It's hard to eat people here, and people who kill people are told without blinking an eye. If they weren't scrupulous about them, people might actually be killed!

This made them very afraid of these people, and their original arrogance disappeared without a trace. They all lamented that Lingnan, which had been peaceful for a long time, was about to make waves.

Lin Yue saw that several people had been taken away. The farce was over and everyone had serious things to do. She decided to take advantage of her free time to go to the nearest county to learn more about this person who was about to live for a long time. place.

I also went to see what business opportunities there were. The Lin family was prosperous and they spent money quickly. She couldn't just sit back and have nothing.

You need to show your household registration certificate to enter the county. Exiled people are basically not allowed to appear there. To be precise, exiled people cannot leave the villages planned by the government at will.

Almost every village is made up of refugees and their descendants, and the management is very lax. There are no officers and soldiers on duty. Therefore, it is not uncommon for prisoners to move around in various villages. These are the results of Lin Yue's careful observation after entering Lingnan.

Under the sparkling sunlight, the brand-new bricks exude an aura of calmness and majesty, and the sense of history is overwhelming.

Standing in the crowd, Lin Yue looked at the streets with people coming and going, and finally felt a sense of presence in this world.

It was Lin Yue's first time to visit an ancient street. Everything she saw was novel, including stalls selling fried nuts, old men making clay figurines, and most of all, some seafood. It was obvious that they picked it up while going to sea. There was everything. The quantity is just too little.

There are actually shops selling fresh fruits and dried fruits. Lin Yue did not expect that winter has completely entered, and there are still fresh fruits here. In the memory of the original owner, after the fruit season, it is basically rare to see it in the aristocratic circles of Kyoto. When it comes to fresh fruits, most of them are dried fruits. Sun-dried fruits pickled with sugar basically lose the taste of the fruit itself.

There are also several three-story buildings with Mingyuan Food Shop written on them, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, mostly people wearing silk and satin. Occasionally, you can see government patrols patrolling nearby.

Passing by the pastry shop, I saw a beautifully built place with the name Yihongyuan on the plaque. The door is now closed.

Just around the corner is a luxuriously built residence that is even more spacious and exquisite than the Lin family's yard in Kyoto.

This place is undoubtedly prosperous. Compared with the villages outside, it is like a sky and a place. While enjoying life and death, it is struggling to live, and Lin Yue is one of them.

At present, the business in the county town is already saturated. If they want to make some glass, soap, and shampoo, the profits are too great. They are still in exile and they can't keep it. They can only make dry seafood and sell it to the mainland.

However, the source of a large amount of seafood and how to make dried seafood are all problems for wholesalers.

What's even more annoying is that the government may recruit prisoners at any time to build canals, roads, mines, etc. Everyone in the Lin family is a scholar, and the exile has already damaged their bodies. If they continue to do heavy work day and night, sooner or later their health will deteriorate. Broken.

I had inquired before that prisoners who had just been exiled could not use money to buy quota, and they had to serve for at least five years before the government officials under their jurisdiction would accept bribes. Lin Yue could also guess the purpose. It was just to suppress these. The prisoner's heart is ready to move.

Those who were able to survive from the cruel officials and come to Lingnan were basically capable people. Being capable meant trouble. If you could give up a little money, you could avoid a lot of troublesome things. Why wouldn't smart people do it? The only thing to do is to replenish the body and try to make the Lin family as strong as possible so that they can survive these five years of hard work. With the mountains at their backs, Lin Yue believes that she can make the whole family live safely.

During his exile, his clothes basically turned into beggar's clothes. One set of clothes was sewn and patched by Min. The skirt that originally covered the embroidered shoes was patched piece by piece on each piece of clothing.

Lin Yue noticed the brightly dressed pedestrians and avoided her in disgust, so there was a meter of empty space around her. Only then did she realize that she was out of tune with her surroundings.

Seeing everyone's disgust and contempt, she decided to buy some pieces of cloth and make new clothes for the young and old at home, so that she didn't have to be the center of attention when she went out and was in danger of being discovered at any time.

"Waiter, bring me two pieces of navy blue cotton."

Lin Yue found a small and medium-sized cloth shop. Now the sun was setting in the west. If he didn't hurry up, he would have to travel in the dark, and the people at home should also be worried.

"It's hard, what does it smell like? It smells so bad. The shopkeeper lets anyone in, and he's not afraid of ruining your reputation. He's not afraid that no one will patronize your shop in the future."

An artificial voice sounded very abruptly in the quiet Buzhuang.

Lin Yue followed the sound and saw a woman with dark yellow skin covering her nose with a handkerchief embroidered with a mandarin duck playing in the water, as if she smelled something bad.

Wearing a yellow cross-neck shirt with large peonies embroidered on it, and a green skirt also embroidered with peonies, the whole thing looks very vulgar, especially because the color makes the skin darker.

The shopkeeper over there who was still immersed in settling accounts hurriedly straightened his head, looked around in a panic, and then focused on the woman in yellow clothes sitting on the chair.

"Mrs. Ling, I will let her go immediately. I won't disturb you. It was really a moment of negligence that allowed her to come in. Calm down. Why are Hehua still standing there in a daze? Why haven't you brought the best fabric in the store to her?" Mrs. Ling has taken a look."

The slightly fat middle-aged man suddenly turned around and pushed Lin Yue out.

Things happened so fast, and just when she was hesitating whether to get angry, the shopkeeper's voice sounded again.

"Little girl, don't blame her. That Mrs. Ling inside is the daughter of the county magistrate's concubine and uncle. We ordinary people can't afford to offend her. Looking at you, you must have just crossed the sea in the morning, and the smell of the sea is a bit strong. "

what relationship?
  Relatives who can't even be found with a stick can be fake and powerful in the county. It really made her gain experience. It also made her more determined not to do business here. If the profit is even higher, people will basically target her. Can't keep it.

The shopkeeper pointed to the fabric in the clerk's hand, "This is the fabric you want. Little girl, go home quickly. You have been in the city for a long time, so be careful of being targeted by kidnappers. The city has not been peaceful these days. .”

Lin Yue blankly paid the money and took the cloth and walked to the city gate. In fact, she was quite curious about the traffickers. If she could touch their lair, wouldn't there be gold, silver and food readily available?
  But it is too late now, and there is no preparation. If the enemy is too strong, it will not look good if the ship capsizes in the ditch.
