The place Lin Su wants to go is called Baijiyuan, which is on the outskirts of Haining City, only five miles away from the city.
Why should he go in person?
On the one hand, he didn't want to close the door to study. On the other hand, he heard his second brother talk about this river beach, focusing on a crop that he needed to see on site.
Baijiyuan is a river beach.
In feudal society, water conservancy construction was of course out of the question. Therefore, the riverbank areas would be flooded during the rainy season and food crops could not be grown. The locals grew a crop called sweet rice, which is not found on the earth.
It is resistant to moisture and can still bloom even if it is soaked in water for many years. Its viability is so tenacious that it can grow in extreme conditions such as river beaches.
What is the use of sweet rice?
Some people may say that since it is rice, it must be eaten, but in fact it is not.
The value of sweet potato is not its grain value, but its flowers.
Its flowers have an unusual aroma that is extremely long-lasting. Therefore, practicing sects use this flower to make secret perfumes and sell them to the capitals of various countries. It has become an important channel for practicing sects to accumulate resources. This perfume is sold in Da Cang Capital.
The price of the vial is as high as one hundred taels of silver.
At this point, anyone familiar with time travel would have guessed that Lin Su was going to make a killer weapon called perfume.
Haha, wrong again!
The value of this perfume has already been developed. How can a young man with no money and no power take food from other people's mouths?
Lin Su was only targeting Tami herself.
What is tami?
The locals call it "Huangquan rice". Why is it called this name? Because this rice is so hateful.
It has a shell that cannot be digested by humans. It will swell in the stomach after eating and cannot be pulled out at all.
It's rice, very small, with a hard shell that you can't peel off one by one.
Pound it into powder, and the shell will still be inseparable inside. If you eat it, it will still hit your stomach. If you eat it, it will cause constipation and you will definitely die.
Therefore, the locals have absolutely no way to get the rice.
I'm obviously starving to death. I obviously have rice around me, but I can't eat it. I can't even feed dogs and chickens. Think about it, how sad it is?
Therefore, this rice has been developed for two uses. The first use is to make fertilizer when it rots.
The second type is: a poor person who has been poor all his life and has never had a full meal in his life. When the deadline comes, if he eats a full meal, regardless of whether he can pull it out, he will be a dead ghost in the underworld.
Therefore, it is called "Huangquan rice".
People in this world can't do anything with this rice, but that doesn't mean Lin Su can't do anything.
He wanted to see if this rice could be linked to his big plan. If it was feasible, the Lin family would have a stable and controllable way to make money.
Five miles out of the city, the official road and the road to Baijiyuan branch here.
The official road was flat and wide enough for four carriages to run parallel, but the road to Baijiyuan was just a mud road overgrown with weeds. Lin Jialiang stopped and said, "Third brother, give me the bag."
After all, the third brother only has literary roots and has not yet entered the literary world. The road to literature is layer by layer. People in the literary world are far stronger in strength and physical fitness than those with literary roots.
"No need! Second brother, let's compare our feet."
"Third brother, you don't understand the difference between the levels of literature and education. When I really run, my speed is ten times as fast as yours!"
"I don't believe it! Come on!"
Lin Su tiptoed and walked out through the grass, as fast as a galloping horse.
Lin Jialiang smiled slightly, and quickly caught up with him. His toes touched the grass and slid past without even touching the mud.
"Wow! There is no trace of walking in the snow..." Lin Su increased his speed and crossed the mountain pass in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Silently, Lin Jialiang walked around him and appeared in front of him, with surprise on his face: "Third brother, you don't look like a Wengen person at this speed!"
"Don't forget, I have both civil and military roots!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his speed increased again.
Lin Jialiang was shocked. He increased his literary power to 80% before he could catch up. How could he be so good at having both literary and military talents? In this world, people with both literary and military talents are very rare. Why? Because emphasizing literature over martial arts is a major social trend.
If you can have Wengen, who would choose Wugen?
Almost without exception, those who choose Wugen are those who have no way to possess Wengen.
Just like in modern society, I can study at Tsinghua University, so why should I study at a vocational high school?
But Lin Su is an exception.
He was born as a general, and initially chose Wu Gen, but Wu Gen could not be activated, so he planned to try his luck at a practicing sect to see if he could open a Taoist sect, but he returned with no success.
Later, he was given a poem by a saint in exchange for a direct gift from a saint, and was given Wen Gen. Who would have thought that the poem he wrote was a war poem, and due to the feedback from the war poem, Wu Gen, which had been unable to be activated, suddenly became activated.
Therefore, he has both civil and military roots.
The more Lin Su ran, the more pleasure he felt. The hairs on his Wengen extended to his feet, and the essence was permeated. Above the Wengen, the true energy hovering seemed to be increasing. Unknowingly, he had less and less contact with the ground.
, each landing point was further apart than the previous landing point, and there was another curve ahead. His toes suddenly lifted off the ground, and he slipped through the grass and stepped onto the hillside in front of him.
With a cry, Lin Jialiang appeared in front of him, his face extremely excited: "Third brother, I have already used all my cultivation skills, and my speed is only about the same as yours..."
Lin Su looked forward: "Have the sweet potato flowers been picked? Not a single one is left."
In front of him was the river embankment and tidal flat, which stretched for hundreds of miles. A month ago, he remembered that it was still bright red and full of flowers. But now, there are not a single flower, only heavy rice, hanging on the stem of half a person's height.
, no one harvests it.
"That's nature! How precious are sweet potato flowers? They are the material for making perfume. From the blooming to the harvesting, more than ten masters of the Bishui Sect guarded the whole process and never allowed a single flower to stray among the people."
Bishui Sect?
A big monastic sect?
Lin Jialiang glanced at him: "Third brother, do you know? The marriage you have arranged is for the second lady of the Zhou family. She is in the Bishui Sect."
Ah? You even said you were a married woman?
Lin Su was a little excited: "Why didn't I know?"
"You were just born when we said we were going to get married. Where did you know where to go?" Lin Jialiang's tone turned sad: "But after something like this happened to the Lin family, people from the Zhou family came to the door, and my mother looked very ugly when she left. Maybe there was something wrong with her.
Very repetitive."
"Is it just a matter of adding insult to injury and adding insult to injury?"
Lin Jialiang shook his head: "Brother, I don't know much about this matter. I'm afraid it may not be to that extent. Even if it is to that extent, with the third brother's poetic talent, the Zhou family will definitely come back. Don't worry, third brother."
"I really don't care about this!" Lin Su said: "Since I'm engaged, second brother, are you engaged?" Yulou is not considered an authentic engagement.
Lin Jialiang shook his head: "In the world, it's natural to seek benefits and avoid harm. I don't care. I'm even glad that the marriage has been cancelled, so that Yu Lou won't be caught in the middle and it will be difficult to live a good life."
It turns out that he also made a promise, and the engagement was also cancelled.
Lin Su was very interested in these trivial things, and the topic turned to the eldest brother in the border area. So where is the eldest brother? Is he married?
Brother, Lin Jialiang sighed deeply. It was already very difficult for him to fall in love with a foreign woman, but now, it is even more difficult... This chapter has been completed!
