The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1518: Playing By Ear

Editor: Henyee Translations

Pingling County was a small county under the jurisdiction of the Lingzhou Prefecture. As it was near the sea, the sea products here were very abundant. More than half of the people lived by fishing.

Not to mention anything else, there was a lot of seafood.

It was rare for them to come to the beach, so they had to bring some seafood back, especially the dried seafood. Unfortunately, it was too late now. Most people had closed their stalls, leaving behind those who had not. The seafood in the frame did not look good.

It seemed like they could only shop another day.

Xuanhe Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture were inland cities. There was very little seafood, so she wanted to bring some for her parents and relatives to try.

Gu Yundong and Shao Wen returned to the inn after walking around. Shao Wen, who had also gone out for a walk, also returned.

They began to exchange the information they had obtained.

As Tong Shuitao had just gotten off the ship, she was still a little uncomfortable, so she stayed in the inn to guard their luggage. Fortunately, she had already adapted to it after last time. Coupled with the seasickness medicine given by Shao Qingyuan, other than feeling a little uncomfortable, she was much better now.

"Young Master, I’ve asked. It’s not difficult to go to Linxun Island, but the difficulty is whether we can catch the ship to Linxun Island." Shao Wen said.

After a pause, he continued, "Not only that, but it also depends on who’s on that ship. If the person who owns the ship is easy to talk to, it’s fine if we give them some silver. If we encounter a difficult person, I’m afraid we’ll have to bleed profusely."

One could enter Linxun Island. It was a place of exile. Those who could be exiled to the Lingzhou Prefecture were not considered to have committed heinous crimes. Therefore, relatives and families were allowed to visit.

However, the exiled were not allowed to leave the island. There were also soldiers guarding the island.

Linxun Island was desolate. If the people guarding them wanted to get some benefits, other than collecting money from these prisoners, they would also receive it from outsiders.

This was something that everyone tacitly understood. The officials also knew, but most of them turned a blind eye.

Linxun Island was so poor, everyone had to eat.

Besides, I’m not forcing you to buy or sell. If you don’t give it to me, why don’t you just stay away from the island?

However, even so, there were always those with big appetites. Some people accepted tea money as a token of appreciation, but there were also those who saw that you cared about the people on the island and were so greedy that they wanted to skin you alive.

"We have asked around. Tomorrow, a ship will go to Linxun Island to replenish supplies." Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan asked more details.

Although the island was self-sufficient, there was a limited number of things. Things like oil, salt, and cloth had to be transported from outside the island.

"Unfortunately, we couldn’t find out who was in charge of steering the boat."

"Looks like we can only go to the docks tomorrow to take a look."

Gu Yundong said, "Alright, rest early today. We’ll act according to the situation at the docks tomorrow morning."

Tong Shuitao and Shao Wen left their room.

After all, it was the first day they got off the ship. The few of them were a little tired and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, the group left Tong Shuitao to guard the inn while Shao Qingyuan and the other two walked towards the docks.

Sure enough, there was already a boat parked there. Many people on the dock were fighting to move things.

The boat was not big. It was much smaller than the one they had taken previously.

Shao Qingyuan looked around and finally gestured to Gu Yundong. "There."

Gu Yundong looked over and saw a person registering not far away. This person was the head of the dock porters.

He was in charge of finding workers to carry the goods for the ship, so he naturally knew who was driving the ship recently.
