"Drive~drive~" came a clear girl's voice, and then a tall bay red horse ran across the road, and immediately two beautiful girls left behind a string of laughter like silver bells. ¤ Website URL: sp;¤

"You two girls, slow down, or you won't be allowed to ride horses from tomorrow!" Marin rode on a black horse, and roared angrily while chasing after him. Behind his horse's buttocks, there were piles of There are big and small bags of things.

"Understood, the third brother is really annoying!" Ma Xiaoyu, who was in charge of controlling the horse on the bay red horse, also shouted a little annoyed, and at the same time held the rein with both hands, slowing down the beloved horse below him.And sitting in front of Ma Xiaoyu was Thea from America.Thea's father, Sam, was finally persuaded by Marin and agreed to join the Ma family's plantation as an honorable overseer. Thea's mother was responsible for cooking for the overseer and slaves, and Thea himself naturally followed.

Now Thea is wearing a light blue long Han-style dress. She looks similar to an ordinary Han girl, except that her skin is slightly darker and her lips are plump, giving her an exotic look.

After moving to Ma's plantation, Ma Xiaoyu finally had a playmate of the same age, and soon became good friends with Thea.Xiaoyu has an active personality and usually likes to ride horses. Now that she has Thea as a friend, she naturally has to pull her along.Capital Datang 688

But this is the first time for Thea to see horses, because in her hometown in America, horses have long been extinct, and when she heard that Xiaoyu let herself ride on the horse, she was even more frightened and backed away. No matter what Xiaoyu said, she didn't dare to go forward. In the end, Xiaoyu rode the horse for a few laps in front of her, which convinced Cai Xiya.It turned out that the monster named horse in front of him could really ride.

Speaking of which, when Thea used to be in the tribe, she often climbed mountains, climbed trees and went down rivers to catch fish with her friends, and her body was very flexible and vigorous, but she obviously had no talent when it came to horseback riding. It took me a long time to learn it, and I even fell off my horse once.

But this is not a problem for the smart Xiaoyu, she finally decided that they will ride the same horse in the future.In this way, with Xiaoyu immediately supporting Thea, there is no need to worry about her falling down again. Thea also agrees with Xiaoyu's method very much. This can be regarded as a small agreement between the two girls.

The weather is fine today, Ma Xiaoyu and Thea originally planned to have a picnic.But it happened that Marin went out to buy vegetable seeds in Coconut City, and the two girls pestered Ma Lin to go. In the end, Marin had no choice but to take them into the city, but it was a second time for him to buy seeds. No, instead the two girls bought a bunch of snacks and clothes and put them all on his horse.This is how the opening scene appeared.

After being scolded by her brother, Ma Xiaoyu didn't dare to be naughty anymore, so she sat on the horse and chatted with Thea.Although Thea stayed in Coconut City for a few days, it was the first time she went shopping on the street today.Therefore, they seemed extremely excited. The two girls chattered non-stop, which made the boring journey a little more lively.

Ma's plantation is five miles south of Yecheng City, and it takes a short ride to get there.It is quite close, and some other plantations are generally ten miles away from Coconut City.Some are even thirty miles away.

Speaking of which, before the plague broke out in Java, the Javanese were quite hostile to the Han people. Later, due to the plague, the Javanese natives were very rare, but occasionally there would still be some wandering natives. These natives would It will cause some harm to Coconut City. Naturally, they dare not attack cities like Coconut City, so the plantations outside the city are naturally their best targets. The farther the plantation is from the city, the greater the risk.

But correspondingly, since people dared to open plantations so far from the city, they generally had corresponding force, so unless it was a special case, it was rare for the plantation industry to be breached by the natives.

Ma's plantation is right on the edge of the city, so it is very safe. This is why Ma Lin dared to take the two girls to Coconut City alone. They rode through a small forest and soon a huge plantation appeared before them.

The Ma family's plantation is the largest plantation in the entire Coconut City. It has thousands of slaves and tens of thousands of acres of land. In this plantation, there are mainly three kinds of crops. The first is the newly planted crops. Rubber trees, because they are too young, have not produced yet.

The other is coffee. This emerging drink was passed down from Dashiren, and it quickly became popular among the upper-class nobles in Daqi and Tang Dynasty. The coffee they needed was imported from Dashi, but the Ma family However, he boldly introduced the planting of coffee trees, which have been successfully planted now, but coffee trees also need three years to bear fruit, so like rubber trees, there is no output for the time being.

The last one is the most important source of income for the Ma family, and it is also the plant that needs the most slaves. That is sugar cane, and the Ma family not only grows sugar cane, but also uses sugar cane to make wine, and even registers a trademark for this sugar cane wine. , has become the iconic product of Majia.In addition, the Ma family also planted a lot of vegetables, mainly to supply the needs of Coconut City, as a supplement to the family's income. This time he went to the city to buy some tomato seeds native to the Americas and try to plant them.

The gate of the Ma family plantation is very simple, and it can even be said that there is no gate at all. The Ma family has planted coconut trees on the border of the entire plantation, but the planting time is too short, so it looks short, probably. It will take at least another four or five years to grow into a tall coconut tree.The so-called gate of the plantation is actually a gap of more than ten meters wide between two transplanted tall coconut trees. Entering the inside is a smooth concrete road, leading to the gate of the Ma's Manor in the center of the plantation.

Although the Ma family's plantation is very close to Coconut City, there is generally no danger, but just in case, the Ma family built a fortress-like Ma's manor in the center of the plantation. The outer wall is strong enough to withstand general attacks, and there are turrets around the city wall, and people patrol the turrets every night, which is also a common practice in Java plantations.

After entering the plantation, the Ma brothers and sisters did not take the concrete road, but turned their horses around and ran towards the manor along the grass next to it. This is mainly because the cement road is too hard. If you ride a horse on this road, the iron horseshoe will wear down. Very fast, and may even hurt the horse's hoof.The horses of their brother and sister are all BMWs brought from the Western Regions, and it is said that there are bloody BMW bloodlines. The two have always cherished them very much, so they usually pay special attention to some small details.

Just as the three of them were riding through a mature sugarcane forest, they happened to see a group of slaves with hundreds of people under the supervision of several supervisors, waving machetes in their hands and quickly harvesting sugarcane.Thea happened to see her father, and now Sam was one of the overseers, chatting with another overseer.

Seeing her father, Thea looked very happy, and immediately asked Ma Xiaoyu to stop, then jumped off the horse and ran to Marin's side, and took out a beautiful glass bottle from the bundle behind him, which contained a light green This is the insect repellent water that Thea bought in Coconut City today.

For Americans like Thea, everything in Java is good, except that the weather is too hot and there are many mosquitoes. Sam is out to supervise the work, and he is bitten by mosquitoes almost every day when he returns home. The careful Thea has long told Ma Xiaoyu She had inquired about it, and knew that after applying this insect repellent water on her body, she would not have to worry about mosquito bites, so after entering the city, she was the first to buy a few bottles of insect repellent water.

Sam also saw his daughter at this time, and immediately greeted him with a loving smile. He was very satisfied with his current life. The job of a supervisor was very easy. He just followed the slaves every day and watched them not let them be lazy. In addition, every few days, their supervisors also act as guards. They go to the turret to be on duty at night, and the rest is fine, and the plantation also includes food and lodging. This kind of life is what he wanted when he was in America. Can't think of it.Capital Datang 688

Thea handed the insect repellent water to her father, and then helped her father apply it on the exposed skin on his face and neck, and then bid farewell to Sam, and rode back to Ma's Manor with Ma Xiaoyu .

After returning to the manor where they lived, Marin helped them deliver the things they bought to the yard where Ma Xiaoyu lived, because in the whole manor, only Thea and Ma Xiaoyu were the same age, and the two girls were very compatible. Xiaoyu is also a little scared to live alone, so most of the time, Thea will live with Ma Xiaoyu.

The two girls first sorted the things they bought, and then fought for a while. Finally, Thea took the things she bought for her parents and left the yard, and then came to a row of yards on the north side of the manor. Here is the supervisor The place where they live, Thea's parents naturally also live here, but now the sun has just set, it is estimated that they are all eating in the dining hall, so there is no one at home.

Thea put the things at home, and then came to the dining hall, just in time for dinner, this dining hall is very large, except for the Ma family, most of the people in the plantation eat here, and if you pay attention If you observe, you will find a very interesting thing, that is, in the dining hall, the overseer and the slaves chat and laugh, and some even sit and eat together, which is not as opposed to people as they seem.

In fact, at the very beginning, the life of the slaves was still very miserable. For example, in the first sugarcane plantations in Taiwan, the slaves worked under the whips of the supervisors. If they were not careful, they would be beaten, and they might even be beaten kill.

But later, with the expansion of Li Yin's territory, slaves were needed everywhere, so the price of slaves also increased accordingly, and the death of one was a big loss, so those who owned slaves had to make changes. Although the management is still very strict, in terms of life, it has been raised to a level similar to that of ordinary people.
