On the other side, Xu Xing also arranged for Chen Xiang to return to Yong County.

After Chen Xiang arrived in Yongxian.

Not long after, Xu Xing's people who were still in Yongxian County gathered one after another.

Chen Xiang took out a letter from his bosom, passed it to the same door, and said: "This is the letter that Mr. asked the minister to bring back, and now Mr. has said that the monarchs and ministers of Chu will be mobilized to build water conservancy, and Mr. was appointed by the king of Chu as the right worker to assist Sikong Zhaoyu in building the canal." ”

However, although there are many agricultural officials in Chu who are proficient in water conservancy, it is difficult for Mr. to command these people. Therefore, Liang was ordered by Mr. Liang to ask all the fellow disciples who were proficient in building aqueducts to go to Yingdu to help Mr. ”

Soon after Chen Xiang's voice fell, a stout man shouted: "I am Shen Niu in the matter of repairing the canal, since it is ordered by Mr., then it is okay for me to let go of the hundred acres of corn in Yongxian." ”

After Shen Niu spoke, several more people said that they were willing to go to Yingdu.

After a total of seven fellow disciples who were proficient in water conservancy, Chen spoke to the others: "The matter of building water conservancy will be handed over to Mr. and Shen Niu, but the task of our men who stayed in Yongxian County is also not easy. ”

"Mr. said that the king of Chu attaches great importance to wheat, so another purpose of building the canal this time is to force the people of Jianghuai to plant wheat."

"When Xiang returned from Yingdu, Mr. repeatedly instructed me: Xiang! Ahh Recruiting the people of Jianghuai to go to Jianghan to serve as laborers is not the purpose of the king of Chu, let the people of Jianghuai plant wheat and rice, this is where the anxiety of the king of Chu lies. ”

Therefore, Mr. was worried that the people of Jianghuai would not take the edict of the king of Chu to heart, and he was also worried that the people of Jianghuai would hesitate to take the edict of the king of Chu to heart. Therefore, Mr. hopes that we can do our best for the king of Chu in Jianghuai, by visiting all parts of Jianghuai, cooperating with the officials of various counties in Chu State, explaining the meaning of the king of Chu, and calling on the people to plant wheat after the corn harvest. ”

Song Jing hesitated when he heard this: "But now that it is August, the corn will be harvested in October, and we will go to various places now to explain the meaning of the King of Chu to the people who believe in us, will it be too late." ”

Chen Xin also spoke: "Brother, there is another question, if we all go out to call on the people to plant wheat, then we will lose a lot of manpower, I am afraid that we will not have time to plant wheat, so will we be arrested by the county officials to build a canal in Jianghan?" ”

Chen Xiang was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Yes." And Mr. also said that even if everyone went to persuade the people to cultivate wheat and rice, and finally the people avoided labor because of this, this would be regarded as the credit of Yin of Chuguo County, not everyone's persuasion! ”

"What?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this.

Chen Xiang paused and said heavily: "So, Mr. is not forced, I hope that someone can take the initiative to come forward for the purpose of teaching the people to plant wheat and rice, and by the way, go to various places to explain the meaning of the King of Chu to the people." ”

"It's just that after November, once the county officials come to recruit the people, then you and I will not be able to escape the pain of hard labor."

"This..."

Soon, Song Jing laughed and said: "In the next year, I went to Teng State from the Song Kingdom to follow Mr., worked as a farmer for ten years, and taught the people the method of farming for several years. Now the king of Chu listened to his husband's suggestion to build a canal in Yunmeng, but Jing only hated himself for not having the talent to control water, so he couldn't follow Mr. to build a canal. ”

"Now the king of Chu has given him a chance to build a canal with his husband, even if it is just to dig the soil, Jing is willing."

Saying that, Song Jing bowed to the people around him: "The hundred acres of corn planted below have been harvested with the help of everyone." ”

After Song Jing finished speaking, Chen Xiang said: "Yes, we are waiting to follow Mr. for the morality in our hearts, and where is for other things, so Xiang will also visit all parts of Jianghuai." ”

After a while, after everyone asked to go to various places, Chen Xiang waved his hand and said, "Although everyone wants to go to various places, these fields can't all be handed over to the women and children at home to harvest and cultivate." And there are also fields that we use to observe, which also need to be recorded. ”

Saying that, Chen Xiang looked at the crowd: "So, there are at least ten people left here to take care of the fields..."

······

September.

Just when the corn of various countries is about to ripen, when the people of all countries are nervously rushing to harvest with anticipation.

At this time, in a courtyard in a craftsman's workshop in the Yingdu of Chu State, a person with hot and tired eyes, sweaty face, withered complexion, dry hair, and who seemed to be nearly sixty years old, was constantly panting, and while looking feverishly at the gradually extinguishing furnace fire, he instructed the people indoors:

"Quick, take out the charcoal fire and fan the wind to cool the stove."

The voice fell, and the other person in the room immediately got busy.

The name of the speaker is Yan Zong, and he is a magician from the Yan Kingdom, and the other person is his disciple Wei Xuan.

Yan Zong once followed the famous sorcerer Xian Menzi of Yan Kingdom to go out to the sea to find immortals, and to explore the immortal mountains in the depths of the sea.

Because Qi and Yan are close to the Bohai Sea, mirages often appear in the sea, so the land of Qi and Yan has been rumored to have immortal mountains on the sea since ancient times.

For this reason, for thousands of years, there have been a large number of immortal seekers, in order to live forever and become immortals, and go out to sea by boat to find immortals.

Among them, there are official and non-governmental organizations.

Now, with the continuous improvement of navigation technology, the team of immortal seekers has become more and more prosperous.

And Xian Menzi Gao is the most famous magician today.

Three years ago, Xian Men Zigao once again took his disciples to the sea to look for immortals, but as a result, the savings were spent, two ships were destroyed, and still nothing was found, and he returned disappointed again.

After Xianmenzigao went bankrupt, many of his disciples left, among which Yanzong was one of them.

After Yan Zong left from the high place of Xianmenzi, he met the Chu State looking for alchemists and alchemists in the land of Qi Yan, and it happened that Yan Zong also planned to change his career to alchemy to refine the elixir because of the huge cost of going to sea to find immortals, but in fact, it was because he had no money. So, under the heavy money of the Chu people, Yan Zong took his disciples to the Chu State, intending to use the support of the Chu State to carry out his alchemy cause.

When he arrived in the state of Chu, Yanzong found that the king of Chu was looking for someone to refine glass, not alchemy or alchemy.

In this regard, Yan Zong was suddenly disappointed, although the glaze is rare, but when the sword is cast and alchemy, it can also be harvested occasionally, which is not a rare thing.

And the elixir, this is where Yan Zong's interest lies, but because of poverty, he has to take a step and refine the glass for the king of Chu first.

After a long time, the furnace cooled, and Yan Zong was about to look forward.

Suddenly, Yan Zong felt a tightness in his chest, then dizziness, then a blur in his eyes, and finally, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

With the death of Yan Zong, there was chaos in the craftsman's workshop.
