"Similar?" Cui Lan thought for a while, then pointed to the taro field next to her: "Is that taro count?"

Uh, the size is quite similar to sweet potatoes, but the difference between the three is ten thousand miles.

"My lord, what are these three things?" Bian Ji asked while pulling his beard.

"This is a potato, and this is a sweet potato, but there must be other names at this time. They have one thing in common. The fruits grow in the ground, just like this taro. The fruit grows underground, and you need to dig it open to see it. , As for this is called corn, here is the fruit, one or two fruits on a corn plant."

"Where do these three things grow?" Bian Ji asked again.

"I just don't know, so I asked you."

"Then how does your lord know these three things?"

"You don't need to ask."

Bian Ji nodded, thinking that it must be because of the monster called 'science', so he didn't ask any more questions, just looked at it carefully.

Seeing Bian Ji like this, Lin Bei felt that it would be absurd to count on him, so he looked at Zhen Ding. This is the shopkeeper of Zhen's firm, and he should be the most knowledgeable person.

Zhen Ding frowned, and said slowly: "My lord, I have never heard of the three names you mentioned, but I know a thing or two about the similar things you said, but I don't know if they are different from what your lord said. "

"Tell me about the similar things." Lin Bei cheered up. As long as there are similarities, it is good. It is definitely easier to find them in China than across the ocean. Although Lin Bei is now The body of the python looks huge, but there are many people in the ocean that are bigger than him. Great white sharks, killer whales, and overlords are all existences that can threaten Lin Bei now. Unless he is really sure, Lin Bei will not will cross the ocean.

Zhen Ding nodded, pondered for a while, as if trying to sort out his thoughts, and then said slowly, "Does your lord know Zhulu?"

Lin Bei nodded. He had only heard Cui Lan talk about it a few days ago, so he immediately asked, "Is Zhu Lu Zhuya?"

Bian Ji smiled and said: "My lord, Zhuya was called Zhuya in the former Han Dynasty, but now it is called Zhulu."

Oh, Lin Bei, it turned out to be the Hainan Island of later generations. At this time, there were very few people on the island, and most of them were ethnic minorities. It would be great to be able to set up a county. It seems that Hepu County is really big, and it can be managed like this Width.

"Zhen Ding, you continue."

Zhen Ding nodded: "Zhu Lu is in the extreme east of our Hepu County. We need to take a boat to pass through. The transportation has always been inconvenient, so our Zhen's firm has never set foot in it. About two years ago, a merchant surnamed Guan brought a box of goods. When I came to our Zhen's firm, I was going to sell some mountain products to us, but my shopkeeper received him, and I passed by the hall at that time, so I asked about it."

"Then?"

"The goods this person brought are also very strange. There are a lot of shark wings, and some mountain goods of the barbarian people, one of which is somewhat similar to the sweet potatoes that the lord has here."

"What happened next?" Lin Bei hurriedly asked.

"However, the thing smelled bad, and it seemed to be rotten, so I didn't ask carefully. The merchant left in a hurry after the transaction."

"Have you ever seen this man before?"

Zhen Ding shook his head: "I've never seen it before, my lord, all transactions are carried out by my shopkeeper, I don't care much about it."

"Did he say what it was?"

"I once said that what the slang people call "pigs don't eat" is said to be dug out from the ground by wild boars. It is similar to what adults said, so I have a little impression."

Cui Lan asked suspiciously: "Since this businessman surnamed Guan sells Zhubushi to your firm, it must be somewhat strange. Did he say so?"

Lin Bei nodded, yes, if he dared to get Hepu from Zhulu to sell things, it must be that the businessman surnamed Guan thinks the goods are good, just like sales promotion, he should try his best to publicize the benefits of things.

Zhen Ding smiled wryly: "My lord, I really don't know, but Zhen Ping should know that Zhen Ping is also the shopkeeper of my family, and he is usually in charge of dealing with these peddlers. My lord, otherwise I will ask Zhen Ping to come and let my lord Ask how this matter is, besides, Zhen Ping has a lot of dealings with merchants, maybe he has seen all three things that your lord mentioned."

Lin Bei naturally agreed, and Zhen Ding didn't talk nonsense. He called two guards and told them to rush back to Pupu overnight, and then escorted Zhen Ping over. The two guards responded and left with swords and swords. With martial arts skills, there are few wild animals in the forest from Longtan to Xishan Township at this time, so there is no worry about safety.

Although I don't know if this matter is true or not, and I'm not sure if it's sweet potatoes, but this is finally a kind of progress. At the moment, Lin Bei is in a good mood.

Chapter 91 Being able to pull is also a strength

the next day.

At dawn, Lin Bei got up, ready to take a bath in Longtan.

It seemed to be quiet, Lin Bei felt a little unaccustomed to it, then raised his head, looked at the bird's nest on the vine, and suddenly realized that Diu Diu and Qi Qi were no longer screaming, usually at this time the two little guys Should be awake too.

Lin Bei climbed up the locust tree to have a look. The bird's nest was cold. Obviously, the two little guys didn't come back last night. Lin Bei was silent for a while, feeling mixed, a little relieved and a little bit disappointed. The two little birds finally grew up , began to leave Lin Bei's shelter, and did not know whether they would come back again.

Then Lin Bei thought of the little jackal with the birthmark again. This little guy probably had already forgotten about Lin Bei. Lin Bei smiled dumbly and sank to the bottom of the Longtan. Everyone was a passer-by, including these animals.

Cui Lan and the others woke up one after another, and began to wash in the spring water. It was no surprise that Lin Bei stayed under the pool. Cui Lan was washing her face while still reciting the words Lin Bei taught her yesterday.

In the past few days, as long as there is time in the evening, Lin Bei will teach Cui Lan to read some words, and Bian Ji will also watch from the side. Cui's Alan was illiterate before, but because of illiterate, he knew what Lin Bei taught. Come to progress very quickly, after all, adults are much more receptive than children.

When the time was almost up, everyone gathered and went to the school. The main task today was still to go to the Elephant Valley to catch elephants. Naturally, Bian Ji and Zhen Ding would not go, but Bian Ji would go to the school every day to have a look. Look, see the progress.

When we arrived at the school, the folk husbands hadn't arrived yet, so Lin Bei went outside and caught two hares, and handed them to Cui Lan when he came back. He started to barbecue with the things left by the villagers, and waited for others by the way.

Bian Ji was a little drunk last night from drinking Meiya wine, and today his head is still dizzy. Cui Lan made some broth for Bian Ji, drinking the hot broth, Mrs. Bian suddenly became energetic.

"My lord, Frost's Descent is already here." Cui Lan was talking, but her hands didn't stop.

Lin Bei nodded, that's true. It's a bit cold at night now. When you wake up in the morning, you can see a layer of white mist on the leaves. Of course, the weather is still very hot during the day, but you can know that winter is very close.

"I'm going to study in the school this year. If the winter is over, have the villagers saved food?" Bian Ji asked.

Cui Lan smiled and said: "It's okay, no one is hungry in Xiu Xuetang, I think some people have grown flesh."

"That's true. These peasants are full of food every day, and they still eat meat. I'm afraid many people are already thinking that this matter can continue forever." Bian Ji laughed loudly.

Zhen Ding also said: "In the past few days, some villagers have sold mountain goods to our business one after another. They are all hares and pheasants. The villagers will surely have a good year."

Lin Bei is speechless, if you come a few more times, then you can pull it down, if you come a few more times, Lin Bei will cry to death, but after the school is repaired, Lin Bei is going to let the villagers raise rabbits and pheasants in enclosures, and they will be fine when they go out to slaughter son.

Several people chatted and laughed, time passed quickly, finally, the peasants could be seen rushing over from a distance, and it was An Zhongzhi who was walking in front.

Seeing Lin Bei, An Zhongzhi's face brightened, but he didn't forget his own job. First, he ordered the small officials to let the peasants do things, and then he quickly ran to Lin Bei, looking at Lin Bei with a bitter face.

"What?" Lin Bei asked strangely.

"My lord, it's about the long-nosed beast."

"But what's wrong?" Lin Bei's heart tightened.

"No, it's just that the proboscis eats too much." An Zhong said with a wry smile, "Yesterday I ate an oxcart of grass grains alone, about two hundred catties. That's the rations for cattle for dozens of days. My lord, look..."

Lin Bei smiled. It is normal for elephants to eat a lot. If they eat less, they will worry about whether they are sick. "Then today, can you let people take the proboscis to eat near the mountains?"

"Of course, dozens of people followed them, just for fear that the long-nosed beast would escape." An Zhongzhi still tried his best to instruct Lin Bei.

"That's it for now, let's wait and see tonight."

In the evening, the elephant has already eaten for a day, so it must not be able to eat much, and if the mahout is clever, he will cut some grass from a distance and come back to feed, then maybe the elephant will be full at night. Certainly not as hungry as when I first caught it.

When Lin Bei said this, An Zhongzhi could only nod his head, and suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, my lord, the proboscis has a lot of filth. It's hot today, and after just one night, the stench is unbearable. Mosquitoes and flies are flying everywhere. Dare to ask adults how to deal with it?"
