He peeled a big red orange, carefully tore off the white pulp, looked at it in the sunlight, and then Li Xian put the orange segments into his mouth.

"It tastes really good. The Xiang River Basin is not only a place where crops from both the north and south can be grown, but also very convenient for transportation. Sir, why didn't anyone think of developing it on a large scale before?"

Zhang San shook his head and explained with a smile: "Schistosome disease causes many men to die young in the south. It is said that it is easy to hide from wild beasts but difficult to prevent mosquitoes, not to mention the invisible insects in the water, which are even harder to prevent.

When the master's family first established the clinic, they asked the witch doctor to develop drugs to kill blood-sucking worms. For this purpose, the witch doctor and the master's family even went to the Xiangjiang River Basin in person.

Even with the ability of the master family, it took several years to develop a medicine that does not harm the human body together with the medical clinic. If there is no special medicine to kill blood-sucking worms, the master family will never be able to develop Lingnan. "

Li Xian thought about it and said in confusion: "But this area seems to have been developed a long time ago, right?"

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "It was indeed developed a long time ago. The drug that kills blood-sucking worms was actually developed a long time ago. However, the initial drug contained a small amount of arsenic and other poisons, so it caused great harm to humans.

Gao Zairen spoke in a nonchalant tone, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, revealing his true thoughts.

At first Gao Zairen was worried that if this place became better, he would be driven away. However, a group of students from Yuzhou who had traveled around the world to study came to Linyuan County and helped Gao Zairen to block many attacks. Only then did Gao Zairen settle down in Linyuan County.

As for the snakes, insects, rats and ants that can be seen, the small ones are eaten by chickens, the big ones are driven away by dogs, and the larger ones are dealt with by people. After killing them in this way, the safety of people can be basically guaranteed. "

Gao Zairen was just a farmer's son from Chang'an. He studied hard for ten years and worked hard for several years before he was appointed as a county magistrate in a remote area. When he first took office in Linyuan County, there were only more than 2,000 households in the area. After working diligently for several years, he saw no hope.

When Wang Zhen takes charge of Lingnan, he will naturally sort out the officials in Lingnan and the two river basins, which will of course include the prefectures and counties around Lingqu Canal. In this way, no one will dare to touch Gao in office easily.

The host often said that everything in the world is interdependent and there is always a way to solve any problem.

After hearing the news that Li Xian and Wang Ping'an were coming to open a newspaper, develop Nanzhao, and upgrade Linyuan County from a county to a prefecture, Gao Zairen almost couldn't help laughing on the spot.

"Yes, yes, yes, sir, I was wrong to say that."

This time when Li Xian came, he directly upgraded Linyuan County to a lower state, and the officials in the original county were naturally promoted as well.

"Hey, don't speak nonsense before Ling Yu arrives. Besides, no matter if you are a county magistrate or a provincial governor, you are all serving the country. Stick to your heart, stick to your heart."

Thanks to the great development of Lingnan, ships have been shuttling back and forth on the Lingqu Canal in recent years. Linyuan County, which was only built in the 20s or 30s, has undergone a transformation every three years in the past few years, upgrading from a lower county to an upper county.

The King of Zhou was twelve years old, and the young master of the chief steward's family was eleven years old. Given their status, as long as he served them well, he would definitely be able to climb up the social ladder in the future. Not to mention that Linyuan was promoted from a county to a prefecture, and he was also appointed as a governor. It was a great thing no matter how he looked at it.

The ship continued to move southwest, and it became warmer and warmer. By the time they reached Lingqu Canal, Li Xian and his companions had already changed out of their heavy winter clothes and only needed a cotton coat.

"The arrival of His Royal Highness Prince Zhou and Young Master is truly a great event for Linyuan County. Congratulations to the County Master. No, I should say congratulations to the Governor."

After the Yuzhou noble families paid enough, my father gave them the secret method of making brown sugar. After that, the secret method spread and the Xiangjiang River Basin immediately became popular. After all, transportation here is too convenient. "

The chubby Linyuan County Magistrate Gao Zairen had been waiting at the dock with his county officials early in the morning. Even though he knew that Li Xian's fleet would not arrive until the afternoon, Gao Zairen still came to wait early in the morning.

Even if the disease is cured, the person will need to recuperate for more than half a year before he or she is back to normal. "

After all these years, isn't there any problem in Lingnan?"

Li Xian pondered for a moment and said, "I really don't know much about schistosomiasis. I've only heard of it before, and it seems that no one cares about it. Is it really that scary?"

“Profit.”

Originally Gao Zairen thought that this would be the end of his life, but he didn't expect that the price of sugarcane would increase first, and then Linyuan County would actually improve.

Even though his legs were weak from standing, Gao Zairen was still happy to do it and was in good spirits. No matter what, he had to get it done. The hard work only lasted a day, but the benefits would last a lifetime.

Yesterday, someone came at full speed to summon Gao Zairen, asking him to prepare to receive the king. At first, Gao Zairen was a little nervous, but after a meal of drinks and spending a stack of bills, Gao Zairen finally figured out what was going on.

Wang Pingan sighed and said, "When Yuzhou first started growing sugarcane and making brown sugar, it immediately made a lot of money. Compared to syrup, brown sugar is not only sweeter, but also easier to store. It won't go bad even if it's kept for a year.

Zhang San explained: "It was indeed very scary before, but it doesn't matter now. One reason is that we have effective medicines, and the other is that we have done a good job of prevention, mainly in terms of hygiene.

Li Xian nodded and said with a smile: "Last year in the South China Sea, the teacher did say so, as long as it is cooked, it can kill invisible insects.

Li Xian was somewhat surprised and asked, "Are there still aristocratic families coming to develop the Xiangjiang River Basin?"

"Haha, no problem."

Gao Zairen waved his hand and continued, "According to the time calculation, His Royal Highness King Zhou will arrive in more than half an hour. While there is still plenty of time, you should check again to see how the arrangements are going and whether there are any omissions.

If there is enough time, after checking the food and accommodation, it is best to go to the warehouse to see how they have calculated. If there is still something missing, it is best to allocate it as soon as possible. We can't help with the development of Nanzhao, but we can't let His Royal Highness Zhou worry about running a newspaper, right?"

"Yes, yes, I will go and take a look right away. I will definitely not delay His Royal Highness Prince Zhou's important event."

Linyuan County not only has a wharf, but also manages dozens of steep gates. With so many ships coming and going, the county can make a lot of money. It is very easy to help Li Xian prepare the needs for a newspaper.
