Chapter 57: The Drought

Xiao Rui said: "We must also solve the division of Gan Province as soon as possible. This is a constant threat to the people. The drought has caused food losses, and that has had a great impact, and it has greatly damaged our national strength and people's feelings. It's better to do it early. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I looked at the coordinates, it is almost more than 500 miles away from the capital, and there is no canal to pass, so you have to rely on a carriage to travel the whole way." I'm dragging everyone down. ”

Xiao Rui said: "The carriage has to travel for almost a month, and the round trip is more than two months. Mingyue, you don't have such time, and I'm afraid I don't have such time either. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Yes, not only that, but because Gan Province is close to Great Xia, I am afraid that our side has just destroyed the sub-array of River Province, and Daxia has already begun to arrange the sub-array in Gan Province." They used Martial Sect and Voodoo to no avail, but I'm afraid that next time they will use other methods to stop us. ”

"It's really difficult to think about it this way. We need to plan well, not just rush. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "At least I have to solve the matter on the side of the big merchants in Ba Province, and then the Yun family sisters can advance to the eight-rank masters." And your female guards need to be advanced. I received news that my brother-in-law Yun Feiyang had successfully advanced to the Martial Sect. When the time comes, I can bring my brother-in-law, so that with me, our strength will be greater. In this way, even if there are more martial arts sects dispatched by Great Xia, they are not afraid. ”

Xuangui said: "Mingyue, you collect more precious herbs below, even if the year is not high, there is no problem, I call Shen'er to plant more, but unfortunately, we only have three acres of spiritual land." If there are more, more herbs can be grown. You can also configure more powders, antidotes, etc. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I will collect this." However, Lord Xuangui, please rest assured, although for a while, the medicinal materials in the jade plate world could not be planted in large quantities, but our country's division can still get a lot of them by collecting them with all their might, and they will not be delayed. I'm afraid that if Da Xia adopts other tricks, it will be troublesome. Now I can only prepare as best I can. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he said to the Xuan Turtle: "This time, if you go to Gan Province, I don't know if the Xuan Turtle Lord has any benefits for us?" Is there a treasure? Is there a elixir? ”

Xuan Turtle couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Gan Province has always had a small population, the land is barren, and there are not many elixirs, where will there be treasures?" Do you think there are treasures every day? Well, let me think about it. If it's not good, I'm afraid that you two little ghosts won't be able to work for me. ”

Xuangui thought for a while before he said, "Gan Province, I really can't find anything good for you." However, I do know that there is a huge and very well mined open-pit iron mine hidden deep in the mountains. I don't know if this thing is useful to you? ”

Qin Mingyue said with a smile: "The two of us don't need it. However, the Great Zhou court can use it. If we want to use troops against countries controlled by witches such as Great Xia in a few years, we will need a lot of weapons and armor. This iron ore is indispensable. If you know the exact location, please let us know. ”

The turtle shook his head and said, "Okay." ”

Then, the Xuan Turtle spit out a circle of light with a position marker in it, and Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui hurriedly recorded it.

Qin Mingyue said: "The affairs of the capital, I estimate that we will be busy for a while. After the beginning of spring, Xiao Rui is going to Ba Province again, and I think we will not be able to go to Gan Province until next summer or autumn at the earliest. ”

The turtle said, "Whatever you want." ”

Xiao Rui's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Mingyue, I do know a road, or I accidentally knew it when I traveled around in my previous life. From the northern part of the province of Ha, you can reach the southern part of Gan province by crossing the Wumang Mountain in the northern part of the province of Ha. From there, you can reach the location of the big formation, and you can take a carriage for about seven or eight days. Why don't we go back to the capital and go directly to Gan Province? ”

Qin Mingyue was greatly moved: "Xiao Rui, what you said is true?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "It's true. Moreover, to go from the canal to the Qingliang River, it is just a matter of replacing the big boat with a small boat. We can directly take a small boat along the Qingliang River to the north of the river province, start from Los Angeles, change boats through the Yupu ferry, change routes, and walk for another four or five days. ”

Qin Mingyue was overjoyed and said, "This is very good. Why don't we just do it. Well, but, will this be against the emperor's order, after all, we are still here under the banner of Qincha. Why do you have to go back to Beijing to restore your life? ”

Xiao Rui said: "It doesn't matter. When I left the capital, my father gave me the right to decide. Everything must be done with the main purpose of cooperating with you to destroy the Twelve Heavens Division. There is my father and your master in the capital, and there is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, the first task is to destroy these harmful divisions as soon as possible. ”

"Last time, we sabotage, Hu Province, Ba Province, and River Province were divided, and the secret decree given to us by our father was not to praise us. I also hate this very much for harming our royal children and harming the division of the people of the world. Do you want us to destroy all these formations as soon as possible? ”

Qin Mingyue nodded.

Xiao Rui said: "Besides, the division of Gan Province is different from the division of Jiangxi Province. Jiangxi Province is in the hinterland of our Central Plains, far away from the Great Xia merchants, and it is not easy for them to do anything. However, Gan Province is too close to Great Xia, if they do something very easily, the more time they are given, and the more fully prepared they are, the lower the possibility of us taking it down, and the greater the difficulties we will encounter. Therefore, it is better to solve it quickly. ”

The Xuan Turtle naturally wanted to get as soon as possible, and he also wanted to get more energy to repair himself and the Jade Plate World. Therefore, Xuan Turtle also urged: "Xiao Rui's words are very reasonable. Last year, it was the sub-array of Lake Province that played an effective role, which led to the flooding in the south of the Great Zhou River, and how many victims were displaced? If you wait until next year to go to this branch in Gan Province. The division of Gan Province happened to exert its strength in the spring of next year, causing a severe drought in the northwest, will you feel guilty? ”

Saying this, Qin Mingyue suddenly remembered: "Yes, I remembered." In the previous life, many provinces such as Gan Province and Zhili had a drought, and the people even changed their children for food. ”

At that time, Qin Mingyue had already begun to get in touch with government affairs, so she was very impressed. However, the drought was dealt with later, because the emperor at that time was still Emperor Changping. Emperor Changping was very skillful and mobilized food everywhere, but he calmed the drought this time and did not let the people rise up. However, because of this, Emperor Changping's originally bad health became even more tired, and in the end, his death was accelerated.

Qin Mingyue is also a decisive person, she immediately said: "Okay, after we finish fighting with my second senior brother from Los Angeles, we will go to Gan Province." ”
