Chapter 141: Drought
Under the escort of the cavalry, the speed of the team increased significantly, and it took half a day to reach Yangcheng, Xiong Qi saw that it was still early, so he decided to continue to move forward, although the speed was faster, but he still failed to reach Yangzhai before dark in half a day, and could only sleep in the wilderness.

The soldiers at the request of Fusu, set aside some people to hunt, Fusu to hold a barbecue meeting, a few days before the trip, although the detour, not as urgent as today, there are no cities and towns have post house reception, but the food can not make Fusu satisfied, tomorrow you can feel Yang Zhai, this may be the only time Fusu this trip to camp in the wild, naturally unwilling to let go of the opportunity. Xiong Qi did not object, but had some expectations for Fusu's request for soldiers to hunt and barbecue, obviously Xiong Qi also knew that the food in Gongzi Fusu's mansion had a special flavor.
Yubai and the others quickly returned, but they didn't have much prey in their hands, only a wild deer and a few pheasants, which disappointed Fusu greatly.
Yu Bai looked at Fusu's expression in his eyes, a little surprised, and said uncomfortably: "I'll take a few more people out to have a look." ”
"No need, it's dark, and you can't hunt any prey, everyone brings dry food, and everyone can deal with it for one night."
Yubai ordered a few soldiers to go down to deal with the prey and prepare to inspect the safety of the camp, but Fusu beckoned him to stop and rest.
"There are Fei Daren's soldiers here, they are better at it than you, so you can rest!"
"Yes, Childe." Standing quietly behind Fusu, looking around vigilantly.
"Xiaobai, why is there such a little thing, you have been out for half an hour, your hunting level is not good." Meng An secretly grimaced at Yu Bai and sneered.
Yu Bai's face was slightly red, and he wanted to explain, but finally gave up.
Fusu knew that Yubai had real skills, and it couldn't be said that the arrows were useless, but it also exceeded the level of ordinary soldiers, and there was only such a thing when he went out hunting, which was not Yubai's ability.
"I'm curious, too." Fusu asked Yu Bai with a smile.
Only then did Yu Bai explain: "Childe, there is not much rain this year, the grass and trees do not grow well, and there are naturally fewer wild things. ”
Fusu thought back for a while, and it was indeed as Yu Bai said, when there was a lot of rain in politics at this time in previous years, it didn't rain much this year.
Xiong Qi came out of the tent and was hearing Yu Bai's explanation, looking up into the distance, as if he wanted to see what the wilderness was like under the dark night, and his face was gloomy.
"Xiong Xiang, the meal is not ready yet, why did you come out?" Fusu greeted Xiong Qi.
Xiong Qi cleaned up his expression and said to Fusu with a smile: "I also want to see the craftsmanship of the childe." As he spoke, he sat down next to Fusu and watched Fusu command everyone to build a grill.
After a while, a soldier sent the packed prey over, Meng An took the wooden stick that had been prepared a long time ago and inserted the things one by one, and handed Fusu a pheasant, he knew that Fusu liked to do it himself, and Meng An and the soldiers carried the wild deer to another bonfire to barbecue.
Fusu took it with a grin, and began to flip it back and forth on the grill, sprinkling some spices on it from time to time.
The campfire crackled, tongues of fire kept spitting, pheasants slowly changed color, and oil and water creaked out. Xiong Qi seemed to be a little hot, and moved back a few steps slightly.
"It's too hot." Fusu muttered in his mouth and asked Yubai to fetch some water, but his eyes were fixed on the pheasant, full of anticipation.
"Xiong Xiang, let's drink some water first." Fusu handed the water bag to Xiong Qi first.
Xiong Qi took the water bag, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Childe's water bags are different. ”
Fusu smiled, he didn't care, there were many different things around him.
"Childe is familiar with fortifications, but I don't know if you know anything about water conservancy?" Xiong Qi drank the water and weighed the water bag back and forth in his hand.
"Why did Xiong Xiang ask this question?" Fusu was a little puzzled.
Xiong Qi put down the water bag, picked up a weed from the ground, and handed it to Fusu: "This year's rain is indeed too little, I'm afraid there will be a drought." ”
Fusu was stunned, took the weeds in Xiong Qi's hand, looked at them carefully, and found that the grass that should be green at this time was withered and yellow, like autumn.
"Not really." Fusu said with some uncertainty.
"Nine is not far from ten! There are many rivers in Guanzhong and Sanchuan County, and we are moving along Weishui and rivers, and the lack of rain is not obvious, but when we arrive in Yingchuan County, the signs of drought are already obvious. Xiong Qi sighed, "I heard that there are a large number of ink writers and public losers in Gongzi's workshop, and there are many people who are proficient in agriculture, have you ever studied water conservancy tools?" ”
"Not really!" Fusu was a little ashamed.
The drought and flood disasters in the news broadcast only let him know how hard the government is to solve the difficulties for the people, although there are a large number of craftsmen available, but Fusu is still only immersed in his own fantasy of saving the country with science and technology, although he claims that the improvement of tools will promote the development of agriculture, but he has not really considered using his own power in these aspects.
"Hey." Xiong Qi sighed, stopped talking, just picked up a dead grass again and gently rubbed it in his hand.
Under the influence of Xiong Qi, Fusu also lost interest in barbecue, handed over the pheasant in his hand to the guards, looked into the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiong Qi and Fusu's low pressure did not affect too many people, the soldiers were all given barbecue, very happy, even Jin Yi and Tian Zhi were infected by the soldiers, and kept expressing their gratitude to Yubai and others, in addition to today's barbecue and the guards who have been in the past few days.
Early the next morning, the convoy had breakfast, set off early, and arrived at Fei Teng's military camp outside Yangzhai City in two hours.
In the barracks, Xiong Qi read out Yingzheng's will, rewarded the soldiers for their brave battles, and gave them knights and fields, which greatly improved the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
After a simple lunch, Fei Teng personally accompanied Xiong Qi to Yangzhai's post house.
Fusu rode on a horse, looking up and down at this general who was the first to make a contribution in the battle to destroy the country, Fei Teng was not very old, not tall, with a simple face, like a farmer more than a general, seeing Fusu's gaze, he responded with a smile.
Xiong Qi stayed in the post house, and after Tian Zhi and Fei Teng handed over, Xiong Qi would enter the city to meet with the former minister of South Korea, the officials of Yingchuan, and express his importance to Yingchuan on behalf of the new owner of Yingchuan. After Fei Teng said goodbye to Xiong Qi, he continued to lead Tian Zhi and Jin Yi to Yang Zhai City, Fusu was invited by Tian Zhi to go to the city to rest, but Fusu politely refused, and stayed in the post house like Xiong Qi.
Fusu originally planned to write two letters and send them back to Xianyang, one was to report to Yingzheng about the possible drought in Yingchuan County, and the other was to tell Zhang Huo to arrange for someone to study water conservancy facilities. But before he could put pen to paper, someone came to visit.
