Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 70 Oh, I don’t miss Shu, I don’t miss Shu!

"Sister Chuntao, you have to do me a favor."

Xia Lin found Chuntao in a hurry and blurted out these words without any warning. Chuntao looked at his expression and glanced at his lower body, bit her lip lightly, her face began to turn red visibly and she nodded lightly.

Xia Lin didn't see it at the moment, because he was looking through the bookshelf with his back turned. When he turned back, Chun Tao had already taken off half of her shirt, revealing her shoulders, with only a lilac-colored lining hanging on her shoulders.

"Oh, I'm not here to help you..." Xia Lin coughed twice: "Wait a minute... wait a minute..."

Chun Tao's face almost turned the color of pig liver. She pulled up her clothes in panic and said, "Master, what's the matter?"

"This is what I want you to do. I want you to write a letter to the young prince in your own tone."

Chun Tao raised her head and looked at Xia Lin curiously: "In my tone?"

"Well, you have the responsibility of monitoring him. You haven't sent him any messages in the past two years. Now it's time to get to work." Xia Lin put a piece of paper and a pen in front of Chun Tao: "I'll read, you write."

Chun Tao agreed, and then she heard Xia Lin start to read: "In the eighteenth year of Hong Bao, spring, March 30th, I happened to hear Xia Lin talking to his friend about the severe drought in the north."

"All right."

"Xia Lin said that after a long drought, there will be insects, and after the insects, there will be famine. This drought started from Yumen in the west to Langya in the east. It is indeed the worst drought in a hundred years. Fortunately, the court has built water conservancy projects and long canals to protect the people. However, the power of heaven is unpredictable. This drought has caused lakes to dry up and riverbeds to retreat in many places. If there is no rain this summer, locusts will lay eggs and hibernate in the mud. The eggs will lie dormant for four seasons and will come out in the autumn of next year, which will be a disaster. In the autumn harvest year, the land will be polluted and compete with the people for food, and there will be no harvest at all."

"All right."

"Grateful for the emperor's grace, the people of Wei have rested and recuperated. After the Eight Kings' Rebellion and the Five Barbarians' Invasion, the population has flourished. However, the flourishing population depends on food. If a disaster occurs, it will cause unrest in the north, and the grassland will also be affected. I am afraid that the northern barbarians will invade our border again after winter. I heard what Xia Lin said. The only solution now is to prevent the disaster before it happens. Kill the insects with medicine and don't let them become a disaster."

"All right."

"However, Xia Lin lamented: I am short of money, and I have no power to save the people with just one village. If the court can lend a hand, it will surely be able to protect thousands of acres of good farmland."

"All right."

"Well, add one more thing. I said that this medicine is not a miracle drug. It can only save 50% to 60% of the life expectancy. It is powerless to save more. We still have to rely on good luck."

Chun Tao was no ordinary maid. She had a very high level of education. After Xia Lin finished reading, she could polish it and then copy it down. However, after reading it, she looked at Xia Lin in astonishment: "Master, is there really an insect plague?"

"It's true. It's true. Have you smelled the medicine these days?"

"I smell it. It's all over town. I can't avoid it no matter where I go."

“Do you feel that there are fewer flying insects, rats and ants?”

After hearing this, Chuntao thought about it for a moment and it seemed to be true. This place has many mountains and rivers, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. Last year, Chuntao was annoyed by those small flying insects, but this year, as spring is almost over, there are few insects. It turns out that this is all due to the smell of this medicine.

"I have already negotiated with Leping Township. The pharmaceutical factory will be moved to Leping Township. The area there is vast and sparsely populated. It doesn't matter if there are some flavors." Xia Lin said this while sealing the letter with wax in his hand: "This letter is very important. I may have to trouble Sister Chuntao to go there in person."

The young prince is now in Lin'an City, Hangzhou Prefecture, which is nearly six hundred miles away, but Chuntao does not feel it is hard, because only in this way can it represent that she is trusted by Xia Lin.

Chuntao was not afraid of anything, but what she feared most was being sent back and forth like a commodity. But since she followed Xia Lin, this worry was dispelled. A few days ago, a wealthy businessman from Suzhou wanted to exchange a maid with Xia Lin. Chuntao was very scared at that time, fearing that she would be exchanged for someone who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, Xia Lin not only refused but also scolded the man away.

"It's okay. This is my job." Chun Tao put the letter away and put it in her arms: "Master, is there anything else you want me to convey?"

"Well... nothing more, you know, I'm the only one in the world who treats Chuntao as my sister, after you deliver the letter, you can buy some things in the city, browse and relax." Xia Lin took out five thousand taels of flower notes and handed them to Chuntao: "There is a Tang family store in Lin'an, you can exchange it for silver." "Master... this is too much."

Chuntao looked up at Xia Lin. Compared with the five thousand taels of flower notes, the words "I am the only one in the world who treats Sister Chuntao as a sister" touched her more. But she found it funny when she thought about it. What brother would touch and rub his sister here and there when she is not paying attention?

"Oh, it's not much, just spend it. Tomorrow I'll ask Zhao Da to call the people from Fuyuan Escort Agency over for you, and you can pick a few to go with you and serve as your bodyguards."

"Master... that's too expensive."

"Don't worry about whether it's expensive or not. No matter how expensive it is, it's not as valuable as Sister Chuntao's." Xia Lin stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Let me get you some water."

The reason why Xia Lin wanted to submit a "memorial" to the young prince was actually very simple. If this place wanted to develop higher and stronger, the three major industries were indispensable. Handicraft industries such as porcelain manufacturing had the lowest income. The real giants were in the two major categories of pesticides and fertilizers and industrial textiles.

Fertilizers are naturally nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If you can make fertilizers, you can make high explosives, but this cannot be done in a hurry, but pesticides can! The natural alkaloid control method combined with the chemical control method is actually a reasonable solution for locust control in pastoral areas. It is simple to prepare and very profitable.

Once the pesticides show certain results in controlling locusts, the credit will go to the little prince, and the money will belong to Xia Lin. With the money, he can build roads and bridges, and then further attract investment.

All kidding aside, before the start of large-scale shipping, Jiangxi was currently the best and most central location in the world. It had no worries about the Yellow River flooding and it had the convenience of water freight. It had an outrageous amount of resources and it was connected to the three central, eastern and southern regions.

When the young prince ascends the throne, Xia Lin's status will surely rise, and if he says something nice at that time, he might be given the title of fifth-rank county magistrate. A fifth-rank county magistrate is the highest official with real power under the provincial governor! What's more, he is a powerful county magistrate with military power. How can this be tolerated?
So this matter is beneficial in every way and has no harm.

Besides that, Mr. Xia is kind-hearted and can't bear to see a child being stewed in an iron pot.

It was tonight when they were taking a bath. The situation was a bit special. It had been two years and although Sister Chuntao was always serving them every time they took a bath, she had never said that there would be any further action. But today, after she prepared hot water for Xia Lin, when Xiao Xia was lying in it enjoying his leisure time, he suddenly felt a slippery body coming over from behind and sticking to his back.

Looking back in astonishment, I saw Chuntao sitting in the water with a flushed face. She was not only embarrassed but also steamed by the heat. Anyway, she looked like a cooked shrimp.

"Ah? What's this, Sister Chuntao?"

"Let me help you scrub your back..."

You have to know that Chuntao has received special training in how to serve people in the dental building, and her skills are not inferior to those retired professional players. And this is a luxury car... a luxury car! So after two years of brushing up the favorability, today I finally brushed it to three stars. After reaching three stars, the plot will be unlocked immediately.

Although it hasn't reached the last step yet, Xiao Xia was relaxing and enjoying the whole process. Compared with a luxury double-decker bus, a private car provides more freedom and a better experience.

However, happiness is always short-lived. Early the next morning, Chun Tao went to Lin'an City to look for the young prince under the escort of the escort agency. Xia Lin stood at the dock and watched the ship slowly disappear from his sight. He couldn't help but recall the physical and mental pleasure of last night. Although there was still a way to go for the final in-depth discussion, he had to admit that the favorability he had gained in the past two years was worth it!

At the same time, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the gate of Xinping Post Station. When Lao Guo came here this time, he found that there were changes here again. Not only was the road wider, the storefront seemed to be bigger, and a stand-alone villa was built at the back.

The prince also lifted the curtain and walked down: "Post station? Old Guo, don't lie to me."

"If you don't understand, don't open your mouth. I'll show you how to have fun later and that'll be all."

"Can you really be happy?" The prince was skeptical.

Lao Guo's eyes sparkled: "Eat something first, and you'll know in the evening."
