Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

In particular, some technologies overseas are more advanced than theirs. For example, the colored glaze and various seven-piece gadgets that were introduced in the past few years made a lot of money for the Dazhou Dynasty. In particular, colored glaze is rare, and sea transportation is difficult. It is difficult for large wooden ships to cross the strait, reach the other side, and then bring back things from the other side, so the price of colored glaze remains high.

The princes and some greedy people wanted to interfere with shipping, but were rejected by City Lord Yu, who reported it directly to the emperor. After all, 30% of the profits from shipping now go directly to the emperor's private treasury, which is why City Lord Yu is not worried that others will interfere with shipping.

When they arrived at Qiong Island by boat, Wang Shiyu found that the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was more lively than before. However, there was something flickering in the old man's eyes that Wang Shiyu was a little confused. She didn't understand why he suddenly became so excited one night, as if something had been planned successfully.

After the old man and Master Xie settled their bills along the way, she watched Master Xie slowly leave the town with the carriage and horses. Master Xie didn't even turn his head back, and left in a hurry. This attitude made her feel a little strange.

Then the old man took his family to the town. The passes for all eight members of their family were with Wang Shiyu, but Zhou Qingyun did not have a pass and could only enter the town as a refugee. Grandpa took his father to the town and was responsible for arranging the accommodation for these refugees.

Most of the people in this town were exiled here. Because their descendants were not allowed to leave this place for generations, a town was gradually formed here for them to live in. Moreover, the people here are very tolerant of refugees. Even the Wang family did not take a pass, but chose to come here as refugees.

The local people are extremely xenophobic because of the instructions of their parents. It takes a long time for every new refugee or person who was exiled here to slowly integrate into the local life. For example, after the Wang family came here, if they wanted to apply for a homestead to build a house, it would take several years to get the approval. But the old man was rich and he just used money to buy it.

So the old man directly took out two hundred taels of silver and bought a residential land in the town of Qiongdao. Because the old man gave a lot of money, the mayor did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he found him the foundation of a house that was already somewhat abandoned.

According to the mayor of the town, this place was originally occupied by a family named Zhao, but because the family was too poor and had no money to marry a wife, they had no descendants and became an extinct family. So after that person died, the house was taken back by the mayor. It happened that the Wang family came and brought so much silver, so he took out the house. The old man was also very considerate and took out another fifty taels of silver and gave it to the mayor privately as a thank you for the house he specially chose for them.

In fact, these fifty taels of silver are enough to build a small courtyard here, but since the mayor has this intention, they can't afford to miss this little bit of money. They might as well just buy it directly. What if the mayor holds a grudge against them and causes trouble in the future?

Maybe the people here don't like to communicate with outsiders. Even if they pass by face to face, they basically won't look sideways. Or maybe it's because they were taught by their elders before. People here rarely talk. Even if they see strangers like them, they will just walk past them without looking sideways.

Without even raising his head, Wang Yizu, who originally wanted to ask these people for some information, closed his mouth silently. He did not dare to say anything more, fearing that these people would directly drive them out of the town. He was even more afraid that these people would react with stress and beat them up.

Although Wang Shiyu is young, she is quite knowledgeable. When she sees these people, she always has a weird feeling, as if this place was made like this on purpose. She doesn't understand why her grandfather didn't choose to live in Jizhou City, but came to the small island of Qiongdao and found such a place to live that was difficult for him to understand. This place is clearly a nest specially for training killers.

That’s right, Wang Shiyu felt that this should be a place where powerful families specially train themselves to be deadpools or killers. Everyone here has a faint smell of blood, and even the air exudes a depressing atmosphere.

Her grandfather could actually walk straight to the place where they bought the house without looking around, as if he was unusually familiar with the place. But as far as she knew, his grandfather seemed to have never left Luojia Village since he came here as a child. What was going on?

Wang Shiyu felt a little strange about grandpa's walking posture and Men Qing'er's attitude. Even after buying the house, grandpa's attitude became even stranger.

So her thoughtful gaze fell on the old man, but because of her long-standing trust, she did not ask directly. Instead, she thought that if the old man really had something wrong, he would tell her, so she kept the matter in her heart. The main reason was that she believed that her grandfather would not harm her family, because every time something happened, her grandfather would be at the forefront. She could not assume the worst about an old man who protected his family like this.

Looking at his parents, his second uncle and his second aunt, and their joyful eyes that seemed to be about to settle down, Wang Shiyu became more determined in her thoughts. It should be that the old man did not want to be hunted down again, or did not want his original family to be involved in it, so he chose a no-man's land.

After arriving at the abandoned house, it was quite large, with two small courtyards. Although there was a lack of supplies here, the people here seemed to have plenty of money and lived very well. This made Wang Shiyu more certain that this was definitely a place dedicated to training assassins.

There are two courtyards, blue brick and tile houses, and even fragments of colored glaze can be seen in the courtyard. There are thirteen rooms in total.

Wang Shiyu chose a room on the right side of the second entrance, because this place was closer to the front yard, and she would be able to know about any problems as quickly as possible. Since there were no one here who would be a servant, the hygiene of the yard had to be cleaned by their family themselves.

In order to better understand the situation here, Wang Shiyu directly invited a well-known local know-it-all to inquire about the distribution of this place. Later, he learned that although this is an island, there are more small islands around it, and those who have just been exiled here will be directly arranged on the small islands over there.

Now it's not like our time when we fought for every inch of land. Generally, no one wants an island like this one, so basically only refugees and bandits who have committed serious crimes would occupy those places. Otherwise, no one would be willing to go there to suffer.
