vs 18 On the road
"But the lord is also interested in such strange things?" Although Guo Yue didn't say much, he could also feel Jiang Feng's curiosity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hehe, Liulang, I really haven't seen this kind of strange thing, and I don't know if this kind of strange thing can attract thunder and lightning?" Jiang Feng laughed, looking leisurely and fascinated.
This world is really a little different, and I don't know if it's because of the change in the environment that caused this kind of strange thing to disappear, or if the world itself is not the same as the original world.
"There should be no mistake, it is said that the frogs are between two or three eggs every time, so the frogs appear in two or three, and they will not be separated until they have cultivated for more than five hundred years and faded into a white dragon. Guo Yue paused, "Turning a frog into a white dragon will attract thunder and lightning, if you can survive this tribulation, you can turn into a dragon, if you can't get by, you can only leave a bunch of relics." ”
"Although I haven't seen that frog, I also know that the frog's whole body is a treasure, and the skin, gall, and eyes are all rare things, but the risk of cutting Jiao is not small, and Liulang is sure?" Jiang Feng is also very interested in such things, if he can really win the name of a hero who kills Jiao, it is also very proud.
"Hehe, my lord, how can I go alone? If there is really such a frog, at least three or five people must be invited to accompany it, and some divine blades and magic artifacts must be prepared, and finally we have to discuss the corresponding countermeasures before we dare to do it, otherwise the Jiao is not cut, but it has become the thing in the belly, and it will become a joke." Guo Yue couldn't help laughing: "Even if it is a heavenly master, it is not easy to kill Jiao, because of the extremely sensitive qi of such a divine object, if he feels that the situation is not good, he will escape by water, and it is difficult for one or two people to intercept it, so generally speaking, it takes many people to join forces to fight to kill Jiao and slay dragons." ”
Jiang Feng and Guo Yue's laughter also attracted the attention of Ju Rui and Xu Jing.
The two daughters also ride horses in pairs, needless to say, although Xu Jing does not often ride horses, her riding skills are not bad, and she can only ride horses for hundreds of miles along the way.
On the contrary, Jiang Feng is already considering whether the road from Gwangju to Shouju via Huju and Huoqiu can be repaired, so that the transportation of logistics and baggage will be more convenient in the future.
The terrain is flat on the road from Huzhou to Huoqiu, and there are many low-lying places, although the weather is dry this year, there are still a lot of servals, the reeds and grasses in the servals are luxuriant, and the birds and fish are innumerable, and these servals naturally become an excellent source of irrigation water for the surrounding fields, so it is also a major feature along the Huaishui coast.
The forward cavalry also knew that such a lush place was the easiest place to hide bandits, so they also carefully avoided this kind of place, and if they couldn't avoid it, they also searched carefully to prevent accidents.
However, Jiang Feng and Guo Yue were very calm, talking and laughing all the way, and they didn't think that anyone in this hinterland would dare to pick up the tiger's beard.
Longtan Temple.
This is already the boundary of Huoqiu.
The continuous Xue Ze made Jiang Feng also deeply feel the topography of the Jianghuai region in the original state of this era.
The reeds that cover the sky and the sun are several miles or even more than ten miles, and one serval is swamp after another, interspersed with scattered fields, and occasionally you can see the smoke of a few farmhouses.
Think about it, Huaishui was still a formidable tyrant in this era, and the wanton floods caused the terrain on both sides of the Huaishui to change constantly, especially the low-lying areas that were easy to turn into lakes and marshes under the ravages of Huaishui and its tributaries.
If there is no good drainage and irrigation system, there may be a bumper harvest this year, and the harvest will be lost due to flooding next year.
Along the way, you can already see the vitality on both sides of the post road, although it is still very immature, but this is at least a good phenomenon.
The scattered villagers have begun to be busy in the fields, but in general, the population is still too small, although there are shouts everywhere that the land is narrow and densely populated, but Jiang Feng knows that in fact, there is still a large amount of wasteland in almost every place that has not been cultivated.
First, most of these places are inaccessible and vulnerable to banditry, second, there is a lack of irrigation coverage, which makes reclamation more expensive, and third, there is no better policy support, and no one wants to do something with uncertain returns.
Huoqiu's side should be considered good, compared to Shengtang and Huoshan, which have already started reclamation, because the conditions are better, so the development is faster, if it is not for the early start of Shengtang and Huoshan, it is estimated that more people will come to Huoqiu and Anfeng, after all, the conditions here are better.
The situation should be better if he goes further, looking at the fields that have taken shape around him, Jiang Feng's mood has also become better, he hopes in his heart that the ant thieves will be wreaking havoc in Huaibei for a longer time, so that they can bring more displaced people to the two prefectures of Hushou, and now even the displaced people from Sizhou have come to Shouzhou, as long as it can last for a few months, Jiang Feng believes that the reclamation plan of the displaced people on the side of Anfeng and Shouchun will be smoother.
But think about it, once the ant thieves go south to cross the Huai, I am afraid that there will be another storm in Wudi, but the conditions of Chu, Yang, Run, Chang, and Xuan Zhuzhou are far better than here, I don't know if the people who were involved in the war will be willing to leave their hometowns and come to Hushou here?
At this time, Jiang Feng found that he had become more and more of a feudal lord looking at what was happening around him.
Knowing that once Qin Quan led these 100,000 ant thieves to cross the Huai, he was afraid that millions of people from all over the country would encounter this catastrophe, but Jiang Feng found that it was difficult for him to have much sympathy, and even had some vague expectations.
I am extremely looking forward to this war to bring opportunities and people to my rule, how can I become like this? Maybe this is why I want to change the world at the same time, but also constantly being changed by this world?
Subconsciously shaking his head, Jiang Feng let out a breath and looked around.
The power of one person, even if he can understand the past and the present, is powerless to return to the sky, the ant thief can be so patient to wreak havoc in the Huaibei states, tossing the black smoke and miasma of Huaibei, but he refuses to cross the Huai, and the plan is big, and it is no longer possible for any one person or force to stop it.
Jiang Feng could even be sure that even if the monarchs and ministers of Wu Land could be reconciled and in the same boat as before, the ant thieves would also go south, and now no one could stop the pace of the ant thieves' southward invasion, even if Yang Xingmi could resurrect.
For oneself, it is a great merit to be able to do a good job in one's own hands, to be able to accept more victims of war, and to be able to defend against enemies outside one's own jurisdiction.
He could even imagine that on hundreds of miles of Huai Shui, the ant thieves would have countless plans to cross the Huai, and Chuzhou and Haozhou would be the edge of the ant thieves' attacks across the river.
Especially in Chuzhou, as long as it breaks through Chuzhou, Yangzhou is in the bag.
There is already news from the scouts that the water bandits in Baishuitang have secretly joined the ant thieves and will become the vanguard of the ant thieves crossing the Huai, and the ant thieves will even use the water thieves and water bandits in their hands to go south along the Cao Canal and cut off the Cao Yun.
And the Han Baling Department in the south will also echo from afar, launching an attack from Xuanzhou to Runzhou and Huzhou, and the entire Jiangnan will be covered by the flames of war.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng found that he was more excited and expectant, but he didn't have much pity for the hardships of the people's livelihood, and he couldn't help but say that he had really changed.
"Erlang, what's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Feng shaking his head, Ju Hui, who was parallel to Jiang Feng, asked sideways.
"It's nothing, it's just a little touching. Jiang Feng shook his head and looked around, "The situation of the post road is not good, maybe it's time to consider renovating it." ”
"I'm afraid it's not the right time, right? I heard Lord Chen say that maybe the upstream and downstream of the Huaishui can be dredged better, especially the water transportation conditions in Shouzhou, like our Huzhou and Gwangju, in fact, we can use the Huaishui to load and unload goods at the upstream wharf, and transport them to the state city through cattle and horses. ”
Jiang Feng didn't expect Ju Hui to be able to say such a truth, he was a little surprised, and smiled: "It is still necessary to take the land post road from Gwangju to Shouzhou via Huzhou, after all, the amount of Huaishui above Shouzhou is greatly affected by the harvest and dry season, and there is still a certain distance between the two states and counties of Guanghun and Huaishui, but below Shouzhou should be mainly water transportation." ”
"Erlang, it's just that the cost of building this post road won't be less, right?" Ju Rui hesitated, "I'm afraid it's difficult for Huaiyou to ...... now."
Jiang Feng laughed and quipped: "Then can you consider letting your two uncles lend some more money and silver? Huaiyou needs to spend too much space, or just use it as a dowry?"
One sentence made Ju Hui's face red, and even Xu Jing, who was smiling with a pursed mouth, turned red.
"And Xiao Jing, I'm also talking to Ziqing, are you considering that the Xu family will also come up with a dowry, I'm short of money now, I'm afraid I don't have money to do a lot of things, even if I borrow money like the Xu family?" Seeing Xu Jing's cowardly appearance, Jiang Feng couldn't help but think of wanting to tease the other party.
His eyes were a little confused and flustered, Xu Jing brushed his hair that fell down, and tidied up the cloak on his shoulders, "Erlang, since the family took back the mansion in Gwangju, in fact, there is no one living in those houses, Sister also said that if we want to live in Huzhou for a long time, we might as well sell a few houses in Gwangju, maybe we can scrape together some money for Erlang,......"
Jiang Feng was a little moved in his heart, although he was pretending to be Xu Ning's mouth, but Jiang Feng knew that this was probably Xu Jing's true thoughts, after marrying himself, he was afraid that he would really marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, and there would not be many opportunities to live alone, so it was better to sell the mansion in Gwangju, which could be regarded as a heart.
"I took Xiao Jing's wishes, but the mansion in Gwangju is still kept, after all, it is the ancestral residence of the Xu family, and I haven't reached that point yet, we will be more difficult in the past two years, but as long as we survive these two years, we will get better, I promise!" Jiang Feng couldn't help but look to the east again.
