Chu Yun stayed in Nanyang for a while. After almost no suspense in the situation in Nanyang, taking advantage of the spring wind blowing from the Pacific Ocean to land, Chu Yun left the Gulf of Siam under the protection of the Zhili fleet and sailed north along the coastline. Because Chu Yun's identity is valuable, he did not personally go to the three newly occupied ports of Manila, Malacca and Batavia to patrol to avoid storms in the middle. If he was sailing along the coastline, he could immediately dock and shelter from the rain when he encountered storms in the middle.

On the way back, Chu Yun also visited the rubber plantation in Qiongzhou Prefecture, Hainan Island. Now Qiongzhou Prefecture has set up three rubber plantations, and the scale is still expanding. The rubber produced is transported from Qiongzhou to the north by sea. At present, almost no one knows what Chu Yun wants so much rubber to do, but only knows that Chu Yun’s annual allocation to rubber plantations is increasing, and the output quota is constantly increasing. Chu Yun also plans to set up a rubber plantation in Nanyang.

Only Chu Yun himself knew that everything he did was to pave the way for the important breakthrough of the Second Industrial Revolution. The Second Industrial Revolution required the reserve of more materials, no longer as simple as iron and coal, but also needed rubber, oil and other materials.

Although Chu Yun did not open up any large-scale technology, he was actually accumulating early technology, especially internal combustion engine technology and oil extraction technology. In recent years, he has accumulated a considerable amount of rubber in order to produce strategic materials such as tires and military boots in the future.

I came to the rubber garden and took a rough look. The first rubber garden that I summoned here was in the deep mountains and forests, transporting natural rubber to the port by rivers. The second and third rubber gardens were already located in the area close to the port and could be transported nearby from land. However, the second and third rubber gardens were still growing. Their seeds were attracted from the first rubber garden.

After patrolling the rubber plantation, the Zhili fleet went to Guangzhou Prefecture and Xiamen Bay again, and then headed to Yizhou.

Yizhou is also a place that Chu Yun is very concerned about. Although Yizhou did not fall for long in this era and returned to the embrace of China, Chu Yun was still very concerned about the development here because of his obsession before traveling through time.

Chu Yun first went to the southern city of Taiwan and Chikan City. These two cities were built by the Netherlands. In fact, they were like their fortresses in Yizhou, which could not be considered a city. After the arrival of the Jiuzhou Army, they expanded these two cities into real cities, migrating immigrants from the southeast coast, and the indigenous people from Yizhou to the city. Now both cities have tens of thousands of household registrations, becoming refuges for victims in some drought-affected areas in the southeast coast.

After arriving in Taiwan City and Chikan City, Chu Yun went north to Bengang in the central part of Yizhou. This was once a place where pirates such as Zheng Zhilong led victims of the southeast coast to reclaim. It had a history of reclaiming for about ten years, so it became the most prosperous place in Yizhou, with a population of 100,000 and a thousand hectares of fertile land.

Chu Yun originally planned to stay in Bengang for up to two days before leaving Yizhou and sailing to the capital. However, he encountered a storm in Yizhou and was forced to stay in Yizhou with his ministers.

The backyard of the Bengang Government Office was originally where officials lived, but it was vacated for Chu Yun to move in because of Chu Yun's arrival. Even Nelson, Zhao Youguang and others had to live in some wealthy families, and the local officials were even more treacherous.

Chu Yun sat in the backyard hall, and the rain continued to rain outside the door, falling on the bluestone slab.

"Yizhou is a good place. Even if typhoons and rainstorms are frequent, our itinerary is also delayed." Chu Yun picked up a cup of steaming fragrant tea. The tea tasted cold and the taste was mellow and sweet. There was a hint of honey. He couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of tea is this?"

"Return to the army master, this is the high mountain tea deep in Ali Mountain. The mountains are covered with clouds and mist in the morning and evening, and the climate is cool. The tea trees are less bitter and sweet. In addition, the tea leaves produced here are mostly irrigated with mountain spring water, which is sweet and mellow. Although it is not as good as some famous teas on the mainland, it also has a unique taste. Moreover, this high mountain tea is also divided into many types..." The official from Bengang quickly replied that the military master was willing to taste the specialties on their side, which made him quite proud.

"I wish to hear it carefully." When Chu Yun was stranding in Bengang, the memorials and military newspapers from the capital were separated by the vast ocean and had nowhere to come. He was so happy that he had a leisurely time.

"When it comes to high mountain tea, most of the wild camellia are inferior. For example, Maoluo Mountain produces tea, which is extremely cold and dare not drink it. Many camellia cultivated in tribes in the mountains and forests, which can be used for their own drinking. As for the best, only camellias carefully cultivated by tea-raising masters with decades of experience from Fujian and other places. They brought Fujian tea trees and went to the mountains of Yizhou to choose the best terrain to cultivate. Because of the different climate and soil, they cultivated tea with spiritual energy here, and then selected the high-quality products. These teas are already the best products used by wealthy families to give each other. As for the military master, what you drink now is the best among high mountain tea." The official from Bengang couldn't help but talk about the tea here.

"You said that the tea-raising masters in Fujian are already top-notch, and there are top-notch?" Chu Yun said unexpectedly.

"The military master doesn't know anything. The first generation of witches believed in by the indigenous Gaoshan tribe of Yizhou was the little princess who went exiled here when the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed. At that time, the things she carried were the seeds of the royal family from the place. After several generations of Han witches, they chose the best from the best, and they were the best tea leaves here. I heard that the military master came, and this witch picked some tea leaves and sent them here." The official said.

After reminding this official, Chu Yun remembered the witches believed in by the Taya tribe among the Gaoshan Aboriginal people I met here a few years ago. He was originally the daughter of a small official in Zhejiang. When he was young, his father was killed by pirates, his family was in trouble, and he moved to Yizhou and was taken in by the Gaoshan witches here, and then became the current witches. When he saw her, he was still a 17 or 18-year-old girl.

Chu Yun vaguely remembered that before leaving Yizhou, she told her that she had the opportunity to go to the Academy of Sciences to further her studies. After all, she was a hero who promoted the integration of Yizhou natives and Han immigrants.

But later Chu Yun became busy and never went to Yizhou again, so he gradually forgot about this.

"I have summoned her two or three times, and she seems to be called Xiao... How are you doing now?" Although Chu Yun still vaguely remembers her appearance, he couldn't remember the woman's name for a moment.
