Chapter 471 The governor was invited to do justice 3
Qian Fanji lowered his eyes slightly. He had been to Nanyuan in the past, and the conditions in Nanyuan were indeed difficult. It was still summer when they went there, and the winter was even more difficult.
Every winter in Nanyuan, many people freeze to death, and the price of coal is horribly expensive.
Nanyuan is rich in aquatic products, but the road is relatively far from other countries, and trade is not very convenient. It is difficult to make money. Even if you make some money in the summer, it is not enough to cover the cost of coal in the winter.
Speaking of Nanyuan, Zhan Chi also felt a little strange. The month he entered Nanyuan was indeed difficult, and he lived like a savage every day.
later…
He looked at Ye Qianning and relaxed a little when he saw that the little girl had no expression.
"The conditions in Nanyuan are indeed very poor. Caravans rarely go there." Zhan Yi answered, picking up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and putting it into the little baby's mouth.
"In recent years, aquatic products have been sold on a commission basis. Without sales, it will be difficult for the people of Nanyuan to survive the winter." Prince Yu looked sad: "Many people have frozen to death this winter."
The money earned in the summer is just to be able to afford coal in the winter. It is sold on behalf of the people to make a living in the winter. The coal is purchased from other countries and is expensive.
"There is no shortage of aquatic products in the other three countries, and the journey is long. It will take time and effort, and you may lose money. No one is a fool." Zhan Yi said.
Prince Yu moved his mouth but didn't say a word, telling the truth what Mr. Zhan said.
Even if the aquatic products were sold at half the price of other countries, it would not be enough for the caravans to hire people, horses, and food for the journey.
"The aquatic products of Nanyuan are more delicious than those of the Three Kingdoms." Ye Qianning said slowly.
Prince Yu was delighted: "Yes, yes, Nanyuan belongs to the waters of the South China Sea. The aquatic products are fertile and the meat is very delicious."
"Really?" Zhan Yi has never eaten.
"Well, the fish cooked by my fourth wife is very delicious. Although there is not much seasoning, it still tastes delicious, and it is fresher than the fish in Beili." Ye Qianning's previous village was also close to the sea.
It is a semi-encircled island, with the sea on one side and mountains on the other. There is a road at the foot of the mountain that leads to other cities.
Qian Fanji remembered that they walked to Nanyuan for more than a month but never reached the border of Nanyuan. The border of Nanyuan was the largest among the four countries.
Calculating, it can reach the two countries of Beili, but the people are sparse, and most of them are barren mountains and seas. It takes more than half a month to walk from one city to the next before you can see any people.
It’s pretty wild—
Zhan Chi said that he had never eaten aquatic products from the waters of the South China Sea. They walked to a place where there was no fresh water for a month, and then an accident happened.
"Tsk, tsk, everyone said it tastes good, so it must be delicious. Isn't Gu's family engaged in business? If they go to Nanyuan, let their caravan bring some aquatic products from the South China Sea. I want to have a good taste." Zhan Yi knew that the little girl had something in her mouth, so if she praised it, it must be delicious.
Mentioning the Gu family seemed to have touched Prince Yu's heart. He sighed and said, "There have been no caravans going to Nanyuan in the past two years. The caravans from Xi'an used to go there, and the Gu family will go there in a year and a half." Once upon a time, it seems that we haven’t seen caravans from the two countries in the past two years.”
"In the past, I only knew that Nanyuan was not rich, but I didn't know that it was so poor." Zhan Yi frowned and lowered his eyes at the little baby beside him. His family had really suffered a lot in Nanyuan before.
Ye Qianning's previous life was neither wealthy nor begging for a living. Her mother would send money every month and some coal in winter.
The fourth mother-in-law will heat her little room until it is very hot, which is not too painful. (End of this chapter)
