Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 202 Jidong Island

Lin Shangwu and Wang Zheng stood behind Zhou Yue, holding the pencil and notebook given by Zhou Yue in their hands, ready to record.

"About a day's walk over there, there is a reef. Be careful, otherwise you will hit the rocks." Peng Panghai pointed in the direction and said.

Zhou Yue took out the compass and looked, "It's southeast."

The two people behind recorded it in a hurry.

"About a day and a half after walking around the reef, there is an island. It is not a small island, but it is guarded by officers and soldiers. I have never been there.

But every once in a while, you can see a large ship from the imperial court passing by. "Pang Panghai went on to say that he had known about the island over there since he was a child, but he never knew what was on the island.

"It's Jidong Island." Wang Zheng said behind Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue suddenly remembered that General Song and his family were originally sentenced to be exiled to Jidong Island. It seemed that this island was the place of exile. No wonder there were officers and soldiers stationed there.

"How big is that island?" Zhou Yue asked. There are quite a few people who have been exiled by the imperial court for so many years, and an ordinary island should not be able to put so many people there.

"Then I don't know. It's big anyway. It's too far. I've never been to the other side of the island."

Pang Panghai usually goes out to sea for fishing. Because his boat is small, he has not gone too far. The farthest place he has gone to is the west of Jidong Island.

"Are there any dangerous places in other sea areas?" Given this opportunity, Zhou Yue wanted to find out more clearly.

Pang Panghai raised his hand again, pointed in the direction and said: "There are often whirlpools there for about two days. It is very dangerous. We fishermen will avoid it."

Zhou Yue looked down at the compass, "Northeast direction."

"There is nothing else. I have never been to any place far away. Our village only fishes in the nearby waters." Pang Panghai thought about it carefully and made sure that there was no missing information.

"Thank you, you can rest on the boat for a while, just let me know when you want to leave." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she took Wang Zheng and Lin Shangwu away.

"Father, this boat is really nice!" Er Niu couldn't help sighing seeing Zhou Yue and the others leaving.

Daniel also nodded, "Yes, father, this boat is taller than other boats, it's really impressive!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Nobles have many rules. We will go back in a while. If the fishing net is gone, we have to go back to the village to weave a net." Pang Dahai glanced at the two of them and warned them carefully.

The three of Zhou Yue returned to Class A, and Lin Shangwu was the first to speak: "Fourth son, I know a little about that Jidong Island. It is very big, almost half the size of Dongguan Mansion."

"Half of Dongguan Mansion? That's really big!"

Zhou Yue was a little shocked after hearing this, the area of ​​Dongguan Mansion is not small, such a big island, no wonder this is the only place of exile, because no matter how many people can be put there.

"That's right, Jidong Island has been a place of exile since the time of the first emperor. Many of the island's criminal officials and their families, and some people who have committed the most crimes from all over the world will also be exiled here." Wang Zheng added.

"Are there many officers and soldiers stationed here?" Zhou Yue asked.

The two shook their heads, "I don't know, there shouldn't be too many. The exiles need to work in exchange for food. After all, there is too little arable land here, and they can't leave here without a boat."

This island is a natural barrier, the prisoners can't escape, and there is no government ship to deliver supplies, and everyone can't eat, so the officers and soldiers don't need much to control it.

At this moment, Pang Dahai came down from the second floor with his two sons, saluted Zhou Yue, got off the boat and left.

"Are there other countries overseas?" Zhou Yue asked the two of them.

"Yes, I know there is Luo Ao Country and Qina Country, but they are both island countries. I don't know how far away they are, and I haven't heard of them." Wang Zheng replied after thinking for a while. He didn't know much about the sea. The two island countries also heard what others said.

Zhou Yue: "In which direction are those two island countries?"

“I heard that Luo Ao Kingdom is in the southeast of Daxia Kingdom and Qina Kingdom is in the south of Nanyue Kingdom.

Our Daxia Kingdom has little contact with them. At most, there are a few caravans that sell some of their country's specialties. Nanyue Kingdom is relatively familiar with them. "Lin Shangwu said.

No wonder Nanyue country is rich. They have good trade relations with other countries, and their economy must be developing rapidly, Zhou Yue sighed secretly.

Great Xia Kingdom is not going to work, the emperor is fatuous, partial to Taoist priests, framed Zhongliang, just experienced drought and foreign war, and encountered plague, it really is a double whammy!

The common people's requirements are very simple, just enough food and clothing, but according to the old emperor's "hard work" now, the common people are complaining about not having enough to eat, and it won't be long before someone will resist.

Under this situation, I don't know how long it will be stable. Fortunately, Dongguan Mansion is still relatively stable, and she is no longer the little girl with a bare family when she first traveled through time.

Now that she has money and people in her hands, even if the Great Xia Kingdom is really in chaos, she can take her family to find a place to live peacefully.

Her wish is very simple, for the family to be happy and live in peace.

After regaining her senses, Zhou Yue said to Wang Zheng, "Go try our fishing net bar and see what fish you can catch!"

Their boats are huge, and similarly, their fishing nets are specially made large, several times larger than fishermen's nets.

"Okay! I've wanted to try it for a long time!" Lin Shangwu responded impatiently. He had been thinking about the big net since he got on the boat.

"Let's go!" Wang Zheng also wanted to see how many fish the fishing net could catch.

Zhou Yue followed them to the side of the boat, where there was a special device for pulling the net, which was rotated by a pulley to save the effort of pulling the net, which was very practical.

More than a dozen wolf soldiers threw the net into the sea with all their strength. The thick rope kept sliding down, and everyone waited patiently.

Finally, when the net was collected, several people turned the rope, and the fishing net slowly began to rise.

"Wow! So many fish!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Pull over here!"

"Haha, this net is really exciting!"

Several people dragged the net into the boat, spread the opening of the net, and all kinds of fish and shrimp fell out with "plop" and "puff", and the whole boat was scattered.

Everyone retreated one step at a time, some retreated too slowly, their legs and feet were covered by fish and shrimp.

"Hey! It's the first time I've seen so many fish!" Pan Shan's eyes lit up. This is all money. It can be sold for a lot of money!
"Who isn't? I don't know many fish, they look so strange!" The soldier next to him echoed.

Wang Zheng and Lin Shangwu were also very excited. With this big boat, they could make a lot of money just by fishing.

The food and supplies for the Wolf Army during this period were all arranged by the Fourth Young Master. There were so many people, which was a huge expense. Although the Fourth Young Master had several shops, the more money-making things he could do, the better.

What's more, with this big boat, the brothers no longer have to stay in the mountains all day long, but can also come out to help with fishing.
