Chapter 215: The Coming Tribulation (1)
In the early morning of winter, the moon is practiced, and the morning frost is lingering. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The clouds and mountains are brocade, and the morning dew Pu Pu.
Those who braved the wind and snow to hurry up unconsciously stepped up, and the accumulation of cold overnight made the morning seem to be a little colder than the night.
At this time, in the main palace of the Yue Clan in the Western Regions, Minsa, Still Shu and Pei Xing were gathering together at the moment, discussing around the charcoal fire and crackling stove. These days, they have always gone to bed late and got up early, and they are very busy. Of course, at the same time, it is also full and enjoyable that it has never been before.
The opening of Fengbo Mountain is progressing step by step, but there is no leisure at all during this time, and there are still many things to be done in parallel and intertwined. For example, the matter of asking the Yunling Navy to eliminate pirates cannot be delayed.
The rampant piracy of the waterways in the area has been a major factor affecting the trade between the waterways and the Yueshi waterways. Although Pei Xing and the three of them were busy raising funds at the beginning, they seemed to be putting all their energy here, but in fact, they never ignored the matter of pirates for a moment.
Mingsa and still said that they had already communicated with the Imperial City of Yunling, and after the opening of Fengbo Mountain was settled, and everything started steadily, the Yunling Naval Army just took advantage of the opening of the mountain for several months to eliminate all the pirate forces on this waterway one by one. The parallel progress of the two tasks can ensure the complete smoothness of waterway trade after the opening of Fengbo Mountain.
While the three of them were talking together, the Yunling Navy had already marched towards the vicinity of Fengbo Mountain, all the way forward, eliminating the pirate forces along the road.
……
"Pei Xing, what is the place of the Six Sacred Bays that the rich people of the Yue Clan are afraid of, I have always heard of it, but I have never heard a detailed explanation." Minsa asked Pei Xingdao.
Whether it is in the hall of the elders of the Yue Clan who coerces and lures, when it comes to waterway trade, some rich people talk about being afraid of the Six Holy Bays. Still at the opening ceremony, Minsa could still hear ordinary people whispering about the Six Holy Bays, which was mysterious but people were quite jealous.
The Six Holy Bays known to Minsa are said to be just a legend in the Western Regions, not real, and it can make people so jealous, which shows that the deterrent power of this rumor is strong enough.
Pei Xing told the legend of the Six Holy Bays to the two of them. It's not surprising that the two of them don't know, but the people of the Western Regions know and yearn for and fear that mythical realm.
The Western Regions is a region with a complex history, which has experienced peaceful and tranquil times, as well as the years of conquest of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. Due to the complex terrain, the different climates, and the dispersion and isolation of the states, I have witnessed many struggles, the change of thrones, and the migration of people.
However, it is said that in the long years of the existence of all the states and the change of royal power, there is a paradise-like region that has never changed in the harmonious picture of glaciers, forests, oases, and lakes.
The secluded and happy realm is an island, which is rumored to be located in the hidden place of the sea behind the Fengbo Mountain, and this island is what people call the Six Sacred Bays!
"An island that existed many years ago, aren't the people living on the island primitive people?" Minsa asked curiously.
"Has anyone been on that island? Why are the rumors so true? Still Shu also asked.
"In recent years there has not been... It is said that the island is very secretive, but more than ten years ago, someone accidentally broke into the Liufan Holy Bay and was attacked by powerful forces, so this place is even more fearful. Pei Xing explained.
Minsa nodded in understanding. Six Sacred Bays, a paradise in the uncharted sea, but if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, as long as the Six Holy Bays don't hinder the waterway transportation to Yunling and Yueshi.
……
In addition to the elimination of pirates, there is also the establishment of craft workshops.
No, Minsa said that from tomorrow onwards, she and still said that she and she would take a team of people to the remote places of the Yue Clan to inspect them, and if they didn't see those legendary handicraft workshops with their own eyes, they couldn't be very confident in their hearts to make large-scale workshops.
Similarly, before the shipping trade begins, you can inspect the various specialties of the Yue Clan with your own eyes, and you can also give a more detailed account to the Imperial City.
"Can I go too?" Pei Xing has been a little depressed in the main palace recently, except for discussing these big and small plans, he almost can't leave the door of the main hall with his feet, maybe this is the most depressed period of time he has lived in all these years.
When Pei Xing said this, his expression and tone were obviously saying, although I know that you won't let me go, and I shouldn't go out.
"You should be your lord, how can there be a lord who keeps shouting to go out and run. Just leave it to us lowly people to do it. Sure enough, Minsa teased with a smile.
"Yes, what are you still pretentious, you will have to live like this for most of your life in the future." Still Shu also joined the ranks of amusing Pei Xing, always poking at his sore spots.
Pei Xing glared at him angrily, too lazy to bother with him: "But the weather has been bad recently, and in early winter, the cold wind of the Yue clan is the wildest." You are not familiar with the climate of Yueshi, and I don't feel at ease when you go out. ”
"Then you can't go, the son of a daughter can't sit down, and now you are the head of a country, and you can't miss it." Still recounted.
Minsa nodded in agreement on the side: "Don't worry, wouldn't it be good if you brought us a few people who are familiar with the Yue Clan." ”
Seeing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, Pei Xing had no choice but to agree and let the two of them go to the vicinity of the Yue Clan to investigate.
……
The visit was a real eye-opener.
Along the way, the inspection team passed through some villages where melons and fruits were grown, and in this winter, when the temperature difference between day and night was very large, the melons and fruits still grew freely in the greenhouses carefully built by the farmers.
The first village to come to is called Grape Gully, where most of the farmers are carefully cultivating grapes. The water in the village is surrounded by a stream of pure water. The farmhouses are scattered, dotted with flowers, fruits and trees.
In the greenhouse, the green branches under the grape trellis are bright and pleasant. The grapes are crystal clear, white like jasper, green like jade, and red and purple like agate. Evenly sized, like a plump pearl.
Farmers vied with each other to explain the differences between each type of grape, some with a sweet taste, some with thin skin and juicy skin, and some with a strong meat...... Either one is enough to get your taste buds pumping.
Still Shu and Minsa tasted it in the farmer's house, and finally they couldn't stand the momentum of all the families rushing to invite them to taste it in other homes.
Every farmer hopes that their melons and fruits can be selected and become the first darling of Yueshi Shipping, and the level of enthusiasm is really overwhelming. (To be continued.) )
