Chapter 624: After the Drought, the Flood?
Late at night, Lei Ding, dressed in heavy armor, strode into a side hall of the palace.
"Commander Lei, what's the matter with visiting late at night?" This is the swordsmanship instructor of King Wu today, and also serves as the palace of Wang Yue, the first personal guard, Wang Yue was meditating, heard the sound of the battle armor knocking, and opened his eyes slightly.
"Elder Wang, Lei Ding has something to ask for!" Lei Ding knelt down on his knees and said very respectfully.
"Commander Lei, why do you need to do this?"
Wang Yue looked at Lei Ding actually bowing down to him, frowning slightly.
Lei Ding is now a hot big man in Jinling City, the commander of the Imperial Guard of Wangcheng, and with this position alone, he can kill countless people in seconds.
"Wang Lao is a first-class martial arts celebrity today, and he has the skills to create and transform, I don't know if you have a method that can quickly make people step into the cultivation of qi!"
Lei Ding lowered his head and asked very sincerely.
"Commander Lei, you are also a martial artist, you should understand that a martial artist, innate talent and acquired diligence are indispensable!"
When Wang Yue heard this, he shook his head and said, "Your talent is limited, and you have achieved great success in Qi cultivation!" β
"Is there really no other way?" Lei Ding's face was suddenly a little lost, and the scar on his face was hideous.
In the past, the tiger warriors under the car he led charged on the battlefield, and with courage and fearlessness, he could not care about the level of his martial arts.
But guarding the royal city, he felt a sense of responsibility, although the current state of Wu, although it has been settled, but there are many storms in the secret, to defend Sun Quan's last comfort, he must do his best.
Martial arts have become his weakest side,
"Yes!"
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out.
"Who?"
When Wang Yue heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Looking up at the abyssal darkness, a trace of sharp sword intent crossed his eyes.
"It's the old man, you don't have to be so nervous!" Zuo Ci wore a Taoist robe, and appeared like a breeze, with some kind smiles on his face.
"Zuo Ci? You really don't have a ghost! Wang Yue slowly stood up. said coldly: "In this palace, you can come and go freely. You really don't really take my old bones seriously! β
Zuo Ci smiled slightly, ignored Wang Yue's shouting, but looked at Lei Ding thoughtfully, and said: "With your qualifications, within three years, you will become a master of Qi cultivation, and you will already be at the peak of this life." β
"Zuo Xian Weng can have a way to let Lei break through the extreme realm?"
Lei Ding was no stranger to Zuo Ci, and hurriedly asked.
"Why do you want to enter the realm of Qi Cultivation Chenggang!" Zuo Ci's eyes narrowed slightly. Asked.
"This is the city of the king of Wu, Lei Moumeng is reused, guarding this city, defending the king's last safety, only the strongest ability can do the best!"
Lei Ding said calmly: "Lei Ding's strength is insufficient, if he can't even practice Qi Chenggang, how can he defend the safety of the king!" β
"The warrior goes step by step. If you want to jump, the old man has it. But thou hast thought about it, and this is a price! β
Zuo Ci squinted.
The martial artist comes from the former qi practitioner, he is the most authentic qi practitioner, and naturally there are some secret methods that ordinary martial artists do not have.
"As long as it doesn't endanger the king, Lei can abandon it!"
Lei Ding's voice was firm.

A sudden heavy rain alleviated the drought in Jiangdong. But it became the beginning of the flood, Sun Quan's crow's mouth, in a word.
Heavy rain poured for three consecutive days, non-stop. The entire streets and alleys of Jiangdong are washing, and the hearts of the people are also impacted.
On the first day, it rained, and the people were happy, and even rushed into the heavy rain excitedly, and welcomed the coming of this rain with joy.
The next day, the rain did not stop, but it became more violent, but after so long of drought, the people still had hope, and the heavier the rain, the better.
On the third day, the people were in complete tragedy, and even fools could see that this was a precursor to a flood, first a drought, and then another flood, and they had a sad day this year.
But fortunately, Sun Quan was prepared at the beginning, and when there was a drought in Jiangdong, he quickly dispatched a lot of forces regardless of others, greatly developed water conservancy, and opened canals and rivers, which saved a lot of labor.
The initial heavy rains did not cause a flood response in the Koto region.
However, this rain has been falling, and sooner or later it will form a major flood, and Prime Minister Zhang Zhao complained about Sun Quan's crow beak without caring about it, and he quickly ordered all parts of Jiangdong to immediately start flood prevention measures.
In Jiangdong, there are few droughts, but floods are almost every year, but they are strict or not, and last year's was more strict.
That's why Koto has always had a set of disaster prevention procedures.
It's about to enter July, July is the rainy season in Jiangdong, if this rain does not stop, plus the rainfall in the rainy season, this year's six counties in Jiangdong are sure of floods, and then there is no harvest of rice.
The Imperial Study.
Zhang Zhao's face was a little dark at this moment, and his gaze at Sun Quan was also a little unkind, almost as if he had angrily accused Sun Quan of being a crow's mouth.
Sun Quan was also very helpless, looking at his stinky face, he secretly cried out in his heart, what does this matter to me?
In the end, Zhang Zhao was still patient and reported to Sun Quan about the prevention of floods: "King, looking at the posture, there must be a problem with the harvest of the six counties of Jiangdong this year, and even the entire six counties of Jiangdong will face a food crisis!" β
The six counties of Jiangdong, but Wu produces the majority of grain, if there is a problem in the six counties, Wu may have never appeared, and there is a shortage of food.
"So strict? How is it over there in Yizhou? β
Sun Quan's face became solemn and asked.
Yizhou is the first granary of Wu, Yizhou has been cultivating wasteland in recent years, the area of cultivated land has increased greatly, the war before and after Wu, the war of Xuzhou, the war of Youzhou, the war of Jingzhou, are all supported by the grain of Yizhou.
The six counties of Jiangdong, plus Yizhou, sit on the land where both sides produce a large amount of grain, so Wu has never had any retreat due to lack of food.
"There is no involvement there, but all the food from the Northern Xinjiang War has passed from the Yizhou Movement!" Zhang Zhaodao: "I have successively supported the Jingzhou War, and now in the Northern Xinjiang War, there is not much left in Yizhou's granary, so I want to subsidize the food shortage of the six counties in Jiangdong from Yizhou." Unlikely! β
"We'll have to figure it out on our own!"
Sun Quan didn't care very much, even if there was a grain gap in Wu State, it would not be very big, after all, Wu State's grain production was the largest in the world, he smiled. Said: "I remember that Jiaozhou and Guangzhou have developed well in the past few years, and we have invested a lot before, but since the beginning of the millennium, they have begun to feed back to the court, right?" β
"Indeed!"
Zhang Zhao nodded, his voice changed, and said, "But Jiaozhou is a little messy." Although many of Sun Ce's subordinates were suppressed by Xu Sheng and General Pan Zhang, the chaos that appeared in Jiaozhi was still those wild men who had just come out of the forest, and their temperament was unruly! β
"Shixie will calm them down!"
Sun Quan said lightly: "The Lone Society ordered to send a batch of grain back from Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and I was shocked!" β
"No!" Zhang Zhao nodded.
"One more thing!" Sun Quan squinted, and his gaze crossed a glint of essence: "Liu Ziyang's appropriation has been approved, and there is no room for slackness." Sue sΓΉ him, before this year. Kim Nam Chi Road, it must be completed! β
"King, this project is not small, be a little impatient!" When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was taken aback and hurriedly said.
"Building roads is a big deal. Jinling's official road connecting the South China Sea is the premise of the development of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and only by connecting the capital can the two states develop! β
Sun Quan said calmly: "It's time to put a little pressure on Liu Ziyang!" β
"No!"
When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was right to think about it. With pressure, you can not relax.

In the evening, after Sun Quan dealt with the tedious things, he entered the inner palace and took Cai Yan and Zhen Mi to the Cining Hall to have dinner with his mother and Aunt Qin.
Although Wu Wan and Wu Qin lived in the gorgeous Cining Palace, after Sun Jian left, they were more or less lonely.
In order not to make his mother feel lonely and lonely, he brought his daughter-in-law to the door every few days, and the family had a good meal, which was regarded as letting his mother enjoy the joy of family.
"Zhongmou, have you seen Xiangxiang recently?"
Sun Quan also brought a few children, and when the family was having a lively meal, his aunt Wu Qin suddenly asked.
"Nope!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he said: "After that girl got the token to enter and leave the palace from me, she disappeared!" β
Lord Xiangxiang has always been unable to sit still, and during her father's funeral, she was quiet for a while, but after Sun Quan sat down in the country, her temperament became wild again.
"My sister doesn't care about it!"
Wu Wan scolded a little.
"Zhongmou, she hasn't been back to the palace for several days, it's not the same as the previous escape to play, this time my aunt sent someone out of the palace, and she couldn't find her!"
Wu Qinqiao's face was a little worried, and said: "I seemed to hear that girl muttering before, what to go to the battlefield, I think, Jinling City is the capital of peace, what kind of battlefield is there, I didn't pay attention to it for a while, now I think about it, my aunt is a little scared!" β
"To the battlefield?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his mood was a little infarcted, girl, this girl wouldn't be so bold.
In the entire state of Wu, only the northern frontier can be regarded as a battlefield.
"Auntie, don't worry, that girl will just talk about it!" Sun Quan took a deep breath and hurriedly comforted: "She should have been suffocated in the palace recently, and when she gets tired of playing, I will bring her back!" β
After leaving Cining Palace, Sun Quan thought about it and couldn't sit still, so he immediately asked Cao Yang to leave the palace: "Cao Yang, you go outside the palace to take a look, the tiger girl of the Lu Bu family and the girl of the Mizhu family are not at home?" Be careful, don't make a fuss, the affairs of the royal family are making a big fuss, and most of them have been caught by Han Bin's bastard, and the headlines are sure of it. β
Han Bin, a giant in the world of public opinion, the boss of Jiangdong Daily, and a cultural tycoon called out by Sun Quan, this girl's youth is better than blue, and reporters like paparazzi have also been discovered by him.
"No!"
Cao Yang hurriedly took the order and left.
At the third watch in the evening, Sun Quan was still in the imperial study to review the book, Cao Yang hurriedly returned to the palace, and reported: "The king, my subordinates have inquired, they are gone, and the two families are also looking for it!" β
"It's over!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he patted his forehead and said, "Why do I have such an unconscious sister?" β
"Do you know where they went, my lord?" Cao Yang was a little puzzled: "With the ability of the Xiangxiang County Lord, there will be no accident in this Jinling City, right?" β
"This girl is very bold!"
Sun Quan's face was pale, directly on the bookcase, a copy of the letter, stamped a private seal at the place where the payment was made, and then sealed it with fire paint, handed it to Cao Yang, and said: "Find someone, hurry up, send it to Northern Xinjiang, and hand it over to Pan Feng!" β
"Northern Xinjiang? Promise! β
When Cao Yang heard this, he suddenly understood, panicked, nodded quickly, closed the envelope, and hurriedly left the imperial study. (To be continued......)
