Annan County is located in the upper reaches of the Qiangshui River, located in the plain, not far from the endless, endless Minshan Mountain, which is also the origin of the name of Minxian County.

This mountain range, which is as steep and deep as Wolong, and spans nearly thousands of miles, is not only a natural danger, but also protects Minjun from being disturbed by the outside world, and becomes a world of its own; However, it has also led to the traffic and culture of Minjun County being very closed.

Because of this, in the summer of the past, the royal family assessed Middle-earth Kyushu, Min County, and the more remote Fan County were not included in it.

The ministers were very disdainful of this land and water, thinking that it was a wild land with no grass. Because it is located in the southwest, it is in the order of Dongyi and Xirong, Nanban and Beidi, and has the alias of Rongzhou.

However, with the weakening of the Xia royal family, the reproduction of the population, and the need for war, the Zhao Kingdom in the west realized that this was a place for soldiers to fight, and it was also one of the keys to fighting for the world. Therefore, the three successive kings of the Zhao Kingdom would rather give up the pace of the Eastern Expedition and devote all their strength to laying, building, and stabilizing this southwestern rear.

In the past, there were more than a dozen small countries in Min and Fan Er Counties, but under the offensive of the Zhao army, they all disappeared. Not to mention the royal family and nobles, even the national capital was razed and relocated.

And Annan County is a newly built city after Zhaoguo demarcated the scope of Min County.

The reason why Zhaoguo set the county in this place is only one reason on the surface - it is convenient to repair the river embankment and control the Qiang water.

As for the most dangerous part of the road from Qiangshui, how many people will die if something happens...... Isn't it because of the danger that you have to settle here?

There is no definite number for the matter of controlling the water, and there are those that will be completed in three or five years, and there are those that will not be completed in a hundred years.

In this way, there is a question - how does King Zhao know how the Yulei embankment is being repaired?

If the officials of Minjun were perfunctory, crying every day and working hard to control the water, they asked the court for money and people. As a result, all the money in hand was spent on eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and people were reported to be sick and died, and they were sold to slave traders.

The king of Zhao never overestimated the temperament of his courtiers, so after Yin Xi's great-grandfather conquered Minjun, he made a strong rule that the county was set around the most dangerous area in Qiangshui and was not allowed to move.

Anyway, the Qiang Shui is cured, and you officials are naturally safe and sound; If it's not cured, you can be the fish and shrimp of Zeguo yourself!

Only with this sword hanging over their heads, the officials of Minjun are so desperate, they are really afraid that one day the Qiang water will really skyrocket to the point of being out of control, and their lives will all be over!

When Yin Ji heard this anecdote, she admired her great-grandfather in this life. Because she knows very well that if she doesn't do this, it will be a matter of decades for foreign workers to grind, and this group of bureaucrats may not be able to do it.

Since the fastest way to Yulei Causeway is through Annan County, Yin Cheng used the power of "wind" to roughly sweep Annan County along the way, and he knew it.

Annam County is more like a semi-military and semi-industrial base than a city.

In a normal city, of course, there must be merchants, rich households, small officials, slaves, and people who live in the city and work for other people in various occupations, such as working for others for a short time, such as working hard or crafts for a living, according to the name of this era, should be "Chinese people".

Of course, there are also yeoman farmers who live outside the city and make a living from farming.

What's more, these tend to be family-based.

A family, with men and women, old and young, is called home.

But none of these are available in Annan County.

There is only one kind of person in Annan County—an adult, a sturdy man.

The number is about 200,000.

If you add the 100,000 newly relocated people, this is already equivalent to the population of a county in Zhaoguo.

Yin found that most of the men lived in houses built in uniform. It is said to be a house, but in fact, it is a bamboo house made of local materials.

Probably in order to prevent the flooding of Qiangshui, the house was made of two floors, the lower floor is supported by bamboo, the upper layer is inhabited, and a grass shed is built on the roof. There was no cooking urn or mat in the room, and it was just an empty room, just a place to sleep.

Yin Ji calculated the number of bamboo houses, divided them by the average number of people, and came to the conclusion that there were about twenty or thirty big men sleeping in each room.

Since it was broad daylight, the men were not in the house, some were farming outside the city, and some went to the river embankment.

In fact, this is equivalent to half of the reclamation, and the general construction of fortifications.

The unified house, numbered according to this, one person has an accident, and the whole house sits together, which is also in line with the rules of Zhaoguo. Militarized management, strict laws.

But how many women are there, and where do they live?

Yin Ji didn't calculate carefully, but only estimated an approximate one, thinking that the number of women was about four thousand.

As for the elderly, there are basically none; Children, there are some, but not many, only hundreds.

After all, there are women who have children.

Of the 4,000 women, except for 5,600 women who looked like officials' family members, maidservants, and women who lived with their families, the remaining 3,000 women basically lived in a large row of bamboo houses in the western part of Annan County.

Most of them are withered, scrawny, and have nothing but numbness and despair in their eyes. Even so, many women's bellies are bulging, and even in their current state, having a baby is likely to kill them.

Yin Ji's face was a little ugly.

She rarely showed her emotions so much, and the people around her were all silent when they saw this, and everyone buried their heads no lower, eager to disappear from the car immediately.

And it was this moment's displeasure that made the originally tame "wind" suddenly have a little sharper!

In an instant, the sound of turbulent water came from not far away!

At this time, the entire convoy had passed through Annan County and arrived near Qiangshui.

Liu He saw that the Qiang water was soaring again, as if it was flooding again, so he immediately turned his horse's head, came to the vicinity of Anche, and hurriedly said: "Princess, it is dangerous here, please return to Annan quickly and take refuge in the bamboo tower!" ”

Before he finished speaking, the Qiang water had already made waves on the ground, and the currents converged, several feet high, and roared towards the shore!

Such a terrifying scene shook everyone's feet softly, Rao is Liu He was well-informed, and his brain couldn't help but go blank, and the horse also realized the danger and kept neighing.

The crowd was in despair, thinking that they would soon be swallowed up by the flood.

The next moment, the mud and sand on the shore merged into a huge curtain wall with the strong wind, blocking this overwhelming blow!

"Who is it?" The roar that shook the sky resounded in this land.

In the Qiang water, a crocodile with a length of hundreds of feet slowly rose, and accurately pointed in the direction of the convoy, and asked viciously: "Who invaded my territory?" ”

In the face of such a bizarre scene, everyone was so frightened that they could no longer stand, or collapsed to the ground, or kept bowing, or froze in fright, and there was no reaction at all.

And at this moment, an extremely pleasant, but indifferent voice sounded: "Princess Zhaoguo, Yin Concubine." ”
