Don't make such a fuss, this means that the alkalinity of the water is too great, so it is difficult for crops to grow, and only by using fresh water to wash away the salt covering the alkaline land, so that it is suitable for crop growth.

Hearing this, Nangong Kai and Nangong Yue both opened their mouths and looked at Chu Lixue, what is high in salt and what is alkaline, what are you talking about? There are so many people in the household department of the central government, and they can't do anything about the situation in this place, but they didn't expect the queen to find out the crux of the problem so quickly?

No wonder the emperor has always loved the queen alone, and the daughters of other ministers of the court, except for embroidery, playing the piano, and dancing, they have no skills.

"So what are we going to do? Even if it is to wash away the salt in the soil with water, but the water source is indeed a problem, I have checked the water source in the vicinity with my second brother in the past few days, I am afraid that there is no suitable water source. "Nangong Kai is embarrassed.

"Then I'll go with you to see the surrounding terrain in the next few days, maybe there is any underground water source that can be used." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing Chu Lixue say this, Nangong Kai and the others were slightly stunned, isn't it that the queen even knows this? However, there is nothing impossible about this, a person who knows how to do business, and also knows that the jewelry he produces is pulled by people to pretend to be dealers to sell in other countries, not to mention women, even if it is a man who is a veteran in business, he may not be able to play.

It was night, Wanyue always looked at Chu Lixue blankly, how could Chu Lixue not know the doubts in Wanyue's heart, "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, hide it in your heart?" ”

"Master, how do you know so many things, and what underground water source is there, so how do you find it? You can't dig holes everywhere to find underground water sources, can you? ”

"Hahaha, digging pits everywhere to find underground water sources, just a few of us? How long will it take to dig it? I'm afraid that it will be possible to dig up all this place when the baby in my belly is born and I can also make soy sauce. Chu Lixue said with a smile.

I never knew that Wanyue was still such a lovely person. In fact, the same problem is not only Wanyue alone, in fact, everyone thinks so, after all, I have not heard of a simpler way to find underground water sources.

The next day, several people were worried about Chu Lixue's hard work, so they made a simple sedan chair and let Chu Lixue sit on it, and several people took turns to carry her to walk together. In this way, Chu Lixue can help them find a water source, and they don't have to worry about her working too hard.

A few people walked in the mountains for a long time, but never found any new water source, the previous people were to pick up the water by the river, but the source of the river here is from the upstream sea divergence, to this side although the salt of the sea has been reduced a lot, but it is still not suitable for irrigation.

"Master, if there is no new water source, will the people here have to migrate?" Rean Xue carefully wiped the sweat on Chu Lixue's forehead.

"Well, but if there is no one here, it will become a barren land, and besides, the people here have lived here for so many years, the environment here is familiar to them, and there are many concerns about moving so many people to other places." Chu Lixue said lightly.

In order to find the water source as soon as possible, Chu Lixue could only go deep into the mountains, and when she walked to a cave, she heard the sound of gurgling water. However, the cave was pitch black, and there were branches at the door, and it was obvious that these branches had been cut down and deliberately blocked here, and if they hadn't tried to find a source of water to come to this deep mountain, they probably wouldn't have known that there was another cave here.

"Master, it's dark in this cave, will there be ghosts?" Ning Xiang shuddered.

"Ghosts? What nonsense are you talking about, there are no ghosts in this world, and if there are ghosts, it's just that some people have ghosts in their hearts. Chu Lixue said lightly.

"That's right, Ning Xiang, you're still too small, go back and wait until you return to the palace, let you go to the abandoned Flower Palace for a few nights to practice your courage." Rean Xue said with a smile.

"you, I don't want it, then Zheng Qing died tragically in the Xihua Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace all said that sometimes when you pass by the Xihua Palace at night, you can still hear the crying of women inside, and some people say that Zheng Qing is unwilling to leave in the Xihua Palace, just to find an opportunity to find a substitute." Ning Xiang said seriously.

Looking at Ning Xiang's serious expression, Chu Lixue really wanted to laugh, and suddenly, Chu Lixue realized something, and immediately said, "Ning Xiang, when did you hear that there is a ghost of Zheng Qing in this Xihua Palace?" ”

Ning Xiang saw that Chu Lixue asked about this, and she didn't dare to hide it, so she immediately said respectfully: "Master, it's just a matter of the past two months." ”

Just a matter of one or two months? Chu Lixue couldn't help frowning slightly, if it was said that soon after Zheng Qing's death, such words came out, she still believed that those women in the palace were playing tricks again, but now they have all been dismissed from the palace, even if they are not married, but they are also famous ladies, and they will not spread such words in the palace after they leave the palace.

Suddenly, Chu Lixue sounded the palace maid who left in a hurry and disappeared, this palace maid seemed to have suddenly disappeared in the palace, and there was no trace of it.

Seeing Chu Lixue's solemn face, Wanyue couldn't help but worry: "Master, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'm thinking about the palace maid you lost with."

"Master, it's all the fault of the waning moon, and I didn't track down the palace maid."

"I've said it, I don't blame you for this, if the other party had been prepared, even if you have the ability, the other party will find a way to resolve it, not to mention, what I saw was just the back of a palace maid, but it's hard to say whether it was a palace maid. If you don't see things with your own eyes, you can't jump to conclusions. Chu Lixue said lightly.

"Master, why don't I go in and see what's in this cave?" Nangong Kai respectfully asked.

"Okay, then you have to be careful, if there's anything wrong, you can't go alone, you have to come back quickly." Chu Lixue is colorful.

This Nangong Kai, she still knows something, according to Xiyue's words, her third brother is a very curious person, if he sees something he is interested in, he will always follow, because of his strong martial arts, he never feels that there will be any danger.

Listening to Chu Lixue's instructions, Nangong Kai hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed to Chu Lixue's request. If he had discovered this cave by himself, he would have tracked it down, but now that the queen was still there, he would never put the queen's safety at risk.

Nangong Kai lit the fire and crept slowly towards the cave, he didn't know what was in the cave, so he wouldn't make a noise and let the danger come in advance.

The cave smelled of decay, and Nangong Kai almost didn't vomit yesterday's dinner when he smelled it. The deeper you go into the cave, the clearer you hear the sound of water.

Coming to the depths of the cave, Nangong Kai saw a huge metal door, stepped forward and pushed it hard, but it did not loosen at all, and then looked at the two sides of the metal gate, there were two dragons made of gold, the dragon's mouth shouted a night pearl respectively, and not far from the golden dragon, there were several decomposed corpses and a few pairs of white bones. The corpses and bones were all covered with arrows, and it is conceivable that they were all killed by these arrows.

Nangong Kai understands that this must not be an ordinary place, otherwise how could there be a fortification? If it is said that the institutions on the rivers and lakes are set up well, it is the Medicine King Valley, and it seems that if you want to enter it alive, you need the people of the Medicine King Valley to come forward.

Thinking of this, Nangong Kai turned around and left the cave, and briefly reported the situation outside the cave to Chu Lixue. Before leaving, I didn't forget to restore the appearance of the hole.

The water source was never found, and a secret place was accidentally discovered. Chu Lixue pondered for a moment, "Let's continue to look for the water source first, don't make a noise about this place first, and then make a decision after discussing with the emperor after returning to the palace, you also said just now, there are a lot of organs here, so I still need to ask the young valley master to come forward to help." ”

"Yes, sissy." Nangong Kai said respectfully.

Chu Lixue looked at the surrounding mountains, and sounded the old Zeng Tou in his father's archaeological team, this is an old man with a strange temper, and he always has thorns when he talks to people, so everyone doesn't like him very much. However, it is very impressive that this old Zeng can find a water source and a tomb just by looking at the mountain.

And when Chu Lixue followed her father to archaeology before, Lao Zengtou also slightly pointed out some ways for her to find a way out and water source in the deep mountains.

Bypassing the cave, the group came to the end of the mountain, and they found the mountain spring, but the flow direction of the mountain spring is only the back of the mountain, take a closer look, it turns out that the place where the mountain spring falls, has already been washed by the water into a big hole, the spring water flows down the hole, and the slightest bit has not flowed to the village under the mountain.

"Master, this water source has been found, but how can those people bring it down from here?" Ning Xiang frowned.

If those people are asked to carry water down the mountain for irrigation, I am afraid that when they carry water down the mountain, the sun will soon set, and I am afraid that there is no way to water even an acre of land on this day.

If you have a good water source, you need to check whether the water source here meets the standards, if in modern times, the father and they will bring water with them when they go to the mountains for archaeology, and if they find the water source, there will also be a special test strip to test the safety of the water source, and in this era, the test strip is impossible to exist, and the only thing that can test the water source is the medicine powder that you carry with you.

"Master, slave and maid go and get some water." After that, the waning moon will go over to fetch water with light skills. Han Jiang grabbed him, "You stay to protect Niangniang and fetch water for me." After finishing speaking, Han Jiang took out a bamboo tube from his waist, flew to the mountain spring, and quickly returned to some of them.

Chu Lixue took the bamboo tube and sprinkled the medicinal powder into it, the water was still clear, and the faces of several people finally showed smiles. In the next few days, Chu Lixue often locked herself in the house, and she wanted to think of a good way to help the people here live happily again.

Finally three days later, Chu Lixue happily opened the door, "I already have a way......
