Chapter 318: Rushing to Xunzhou

After returning to Datang, Wang Xiang immediately took out the bag containing the spar, and the spar inside turned into ashes.

He finally understood how the energy of the spar disappeared, it was obvious that the warehouse absorbed the energy in the spar, and the mutation of the warehouse itself was related to the disaster a year ago, so the connection between the two did not surprise him, but after absorbing the energy of the spar, he did not feel any changes in the warehouse.

However, he believes that since the warehouse can absorb the energy in the spar, there must be some special changes, and there is no change now, probably because the level of the spar is too low and the energy is too little, so he can only wait for the future to save enough spar to try.

Zhao Jun has quite a lot of leadership skills, the construction of the base is going very smoothly, there are no difficult problems to solve, after two days Wang Xiang transported thousands of catties of rice from Datang, some vegetables and meat, all for Lei Fu to transport to the temporary warehouse built outside, and told her that he was going to leave for a while.

They were very surprised that Wang Xiang said that he was going to leave Lei Fu and Liu Qingqing, Wang Xiang was not a capable person, and it was a very dangerous thing to go out alone in the last days, although Lei Fu looked cold on the surface, he actually cared about Wang Xiang.

"Why don't you hide in the base and run around? Even if you want to find someone, you don't have to rush for a while, and it's easier to find someone when you build up your own power. ”

Wang Xiang knew that Lei Fu was afraid that he would be in danger, and he didn't know how to explain it to her, so he had to say vaguely: "Don't worry, I'm not going out to find someone, I'm just going to a safe place to do something, and I'll be back after a while." The matter of the base is going to trouble you. ”

Reev said nonchalantly, "What's so troublesome about the base." With Zhao Jun, they can do it. But you, do you want me to go with you? ”

You can't go if you want to......

Wang Xiang shook his head: "You can't go to that place." ”

Lei Fu snorted disdainfully, thinking that Wang Xiang didn't want to let him know where he went, how could he not go to a place where ordinary people could go, and guessed in his heart that it was very likely that Wang Xiang was going to the grain warehouse he found, and the grain warehouse that could take out thousands of catties of rice would indeed cause many people to covet it, and it was normal to be cautious.

The next day, the basement warehouse was locked, and all the grain inside had been transferred to the newly built temporary warehouse outside, which was guarded by Leif. Liu Qingqing would take out a part of it every day and hand it to Zhao Jun and ask him to arrange someone to cook for everyone.

Wang Xiang naturally returned to Datang, and he planned to rush to Xunzhou as soon as possible.

The canning factory that was originally planned to be built in Luoyang was also canceled, and Wang Xiang planned to take a few people who knew how to make canned food to Xunzhou to build a canning factory, and Xunzhou would be his base camp in Datang in the future.

When Steward Wang came back with a few people who knew how to make canned food, the team that had already prepared set off for Xunzhou, and Chengdu, Yangzhou and other places that were originally planned to be played along the way did not stop, which made the little Lori and Li Zhi who were full of expectations very disappointed, sitting in the carriage and pouting and looking unhappy.

Wang Xiang had to comfort them, and waited until there was something more interesting in Xunzhou.

In addition to the rest time at night, the convoy traveled non-stop all the way, and it took eight days to arrive at the land of Lingnan, and it was only half a day's journey from Xunzhou.

The official in charge of receiving Wang Xiang had already been informed, and as soon as the convoy entered the Lingnan territory, someone led the way to Xunzhou, Wang Xiang's fiefdom.

When passing by Guangzhou City, Wang Xiang found that Guangzhou City was actually quite prosperous. Although it is not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, it is also full of prosperity. However, the more you go to Xunzhou, the more remote it becomes, and when you really enter the boundary of Xunzhou, Wang Xiang finds that his fiefdom is simply a desolate land with no one inhabited. No wonder Li Er said that when Xunzhou was proposed as a fief, the ministers of the court had no opinion.

"Master Liu, how many households are there in this Xunzhou?"

There is only one official in the whole Xunzhou, that is, Liu Qingsheng, the chief bookkeeper, Xunzhou was given to Wang Xiang by Li Er as a fief, and he naturally became Wang Xiang's retainer, of course, this has to be Wang Xiang's willing to ask him, otherwise a small master of the court will not find him a vacant position again, if Wang Xiang does not want him as a retainer, he will probably be "unemployed". Although the main book is only an official position that does not enter the stream, it is enough to have at least a few yuan of money every month, which is enough in the remote place of Xunzhou.

So hearing Wang Xiang's question, Liu Qingsheng, who was leading the way in front, hurriedly turned around and replied respectfully: "Lord Hou, there are a total of 120 households in Xunzhou. ”

120 households...... Wang Xiang sweated in his heart, remembering that he used to watch TV and novels in the past, but he didn't expect that he only had a hundred households, and the gap between reality and ideals was too big.

"I heard that Xunzhou is quite large, why are there only 120 households?"

Liu Qingsheng said: "In the past, there were almost 200 families. ”

Wang Xiang looked depressed, is there a difference between two hundred households and one hundred and twenty households......

Liu Qingsheng didn't know what Wang Xiang was thinking and continued: "The land in Xunzhou is not good, the Zhuang family can't live, and then some people moved away, and now there are 120 households left. ”

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat, Xunzhou is close to the sea, isn't it good to have seafood to eat every day." In his previous life, Wang Xiang was very fond of seafood, and often envied those friends who lived by the sea, thinking that they were so happy that they could eat seafood every day.

After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Liu Qingsheng looked puzzled and said, "What is the seafood that Hou Ye is talking about?" ”

Wang Xiang suddenly thought that there was no such thing as seafood in ancient times, and explained: "It is the fish in the sea, even if the land in Xunzhou is not suitable for farming, the people can still fish for a living, why move away?" ”

Liu Qingsheng said with a wry smile: "The people here do make a living by fishing, but people can't just eat fish, besides, fishing at sea is different from fishing in the rivers, this sea is dangerous, I don't know when the wind and waves of the people's small fishing boats were overturned, even people who are familiar with the water may not be able to survive." ”

Wang Xiang nodded and fell silent when he heard this, in ancient times, the people relied on the ground to eat, and they were afraid of the unpredictable sea, so if there was no way, no one wanted to make a living from fishing, and it was normal life for them to face the loess and turn their backs to the genius.

After learning some things about Xunzhou from Liu Qingsheng, the convoy finally entered the only village in Xunzhou, where all 120 families lived.

The village was very simple, old everywhere, and the dilapidated houses built of rubble were scattered and scattered, and Wang Xiang's heart was desolate.

This is my fiefdom? What about the cheat!
