"Dongchuan?!"
Everyone looked at the place where Zhou Yunshu's finger fell in confusion.
"Well, Dongchuan."
Zhou Yunshu pointed to the location of Dongchuan and explained: "Dongchuan is located in the downstream plain of the two major rivers, Yudai River and Chuan River. The rivers are alluvial and sediment accumulates. The land is fertile and the water source is sufficient, making it very suitable for farming."
The drought in Qingzhou and Luzhou has cast a great shadow on Zhou Yunshu. Even if she does not farm, her men must have fields and grain to fill the granary.
"The plague in the northwest is not over yet; the war in the north is raging; we have also experienced the hell on earth in Qingzhou and Luzhou, so food is a top priority now and for a long time to come."
"No one who has food in their hands is as sure as we have food in our own hands, so the alluvial plain where Dongchuan is located." Zhou Yunshu clicked on the location of Dongchuan again, "It is the most suitable place for us to store food. "
After Zhou Yunshu said this, the people around him nodded in agreement.
"In addition, the Yudai River flows through Nanzhou, Hezhou and Haizhou and goes straight to the sea. The Chuanhe River can also connect the north and south of Haizhou. Settling in Dongchuan can facilitate us to use river transportation, develop our own fleet, and then develop our Own sea transportation.”
Dongchuan is not only located between the Yudai River and the Chuan River, but most importantly, it is not far from the sea.
Everyone who had struggled with water in Luzhou before felt that this place was very good, at least there would be no shortage of water.
"I always envy others who have ports." Zhou Yunshu pointed to the seaside location on the east side of Dongchuan and said, "Don't you think this is also a good place to build a port? We can build a port of our own."
Everyone was excited by what Zhou Yunshu said, but Uncle He had a very real problem.
He said to Zhou Yunshu: "But the first half of the Yudai River in Haizhou is managed by the Jiang family, and the middle section is dominated by the Wu family. Even the second half is charged once per village. The idle people simply cannot bear this level. Another layer of tolls, Chuanhe is no less generous.”
He admitted that what Zhou Yunshu said was very good, but it was not easy to sail freely on the Yudai River and Chuan River.
I remember that the He family spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to take Qihe for their own use, and even saw bloodshed several times in the process.
Many people in Haizhou know the value of Yudai River and Chuanhe River, but just because of its value, before there is absolute power to suppress it, everyone wants to rush up and take a bite. After biting, no one wants to let go.
Even though there are not many ships on the river now due to the harsh charges imposed by local snakes in Haizhou, and there is not much money to be made, no one is still willing to give up.
It doesn't matter if they can't make it, and they will have a psychological balance if others can't make it either.
Otherwise, if others make more money than you can, they will die from vomiting.
It’s actually good for everyone to be poor together.
"So we have to establish a foothold in Dongchuan first, and then slowly make plans. After all, we can't become fat with just one bite."
Zhou Yunshu said with a smile: "Now that we have a goal, we just have to work hard towards it. Is it possible that everyone thinks we are not as good as those rabble?"
"Of course not!" Huzi raised his head and said.
Yan Shilei also nodded. No one wants to admit that he is inferior to others.
Uncle He and Shopkeeper Liang also nodded silently. It would be fine if it was just them, but now they not only have themselves, but also strong people like Yan Shilei and Hu Zi, and the most important thing is food.
Uncle He thought of the food they had hidden when they left Damiao Village, and said to Zhou Yunshu, "Mr. Zhou, when will we bring back the food from the temple?"
Zhou Yunshu thought for a while and said, "We will pick him up after everything is settled in Dongchuan."
That's why Zhou Yunshu didn't secretly transfer the food to her own space. After so many times, she really didn't know how to explain it to a smart person like Uncle He.
They're not that easy to fool.
It just so happened that when they went to pick up the food again, they took the road from Luzhou to Dongchuan to see if Yang Yuhao had any news for her.
Although, it will probably be the end of the year when they are completely settled.
After going over the next plan with Shopkeeper Liang and the others, everyone had a clear idea and basic expectations for their future life.
After discussing it with Shopkeeper Liang and the others, Zhou Yunshu still wanted to talk to her family again.
Li Jialan and Wu Yue always did what Zhou Yunshu said. They had only one problem.
"When we arrive in Haizhou, shall we look for your grandmother?"
Zhou Yunshu is indeed their backbone now, but the Dinghai Shenzhen must be their mother-in-law, the eldest princess Ji Mingzhu.
Even if she does nothing, as long as she is by their side, they all feel at ease.
"need."
In fact, what Zhou Yunshu never said was that since they separated from Ji Mingzhu, whenever they entered a larger city and there was a Hongyun Winery in that city, she would leave a message to Ji Mingzhu.
This is why she always buys wine.
Hongyun Winery was a property under the name of Grandma Wang, who was close to her grandmother. It was the dowry given by Ji Mingzhu to Grandma Wang. Not many people in the Zhou family knew about this matter.
The drought in Luzhou is so severe that there is not much food, let alone the wineries that need to use food to make wine.
Therefore, Zhou Yunshu only left two letters for Ji Mingzhu in Luzhou, and once when passing by Tingzhou. When they arrived in Haizhou, they could finally leave their final destination to Ji Mingzhu.
If Ji Mingzhu and the others come to Haizhou, or send someone to Hongyun Winery in Haizhou, they will get news from them.
As for Zhou Yunshu, she has not received any news from Ji Mingzhu and the others from Hongyun Winery.
"I have always kept this in mind, and I have also left a message for my grandmother and the others. Now that we have decided on a place, if my grandmother knows the news, she will definitely come to us."
What she had to do was to take her mother and aunt to settle down as soon as possible before her grandmother came.
"That's good!"
Li Jialan looked at her daughter's growing belly and said, "After we arrive in Dongchuan, we will first find a place to stay. You can leave the rest to us. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your baby."
Seeing that Zhou Yunshu's belly was almost five months old, and she was still pregnant with twins.
Li Jialan now feels worried when looking at Zhou Yunshu's belly every day. She wishes she could settle down immediately and stop running around, so that Zhou Yunshu can take good care of her.
Zhou Yunshu glanced at her belly, touched it and said with a smile: "They are very good."
Xixi also leaned against her mother, stretched out her little hand and placed it on Zhou Yunshu's belly, "Yes, you have to be good, otherwise my father and I will be angry!"
Zhou Yunshu kissed Xixi's cheek and didn't take her words to heart. After all, she was still young, and she didn't know whether it was Ji Sheng or herself who was calling her daddy.
"I won't be polite when my mother and aunt are needed."
Wu Yue had done a good job working for the Red Lotus Sect when she was in Wolong Mountain.
Since they had this ability, Zhou Yunshu never thought of trapping them in the inner house.
