"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to go to the Wind Hall in person?"

"Seeing Fengtang is just by the way, Lone just stayed in the palace for too long, and wanted to come out to breathe, after all, because of the assassin's affairs during this time, Lone has not been out of the palace much. ”

At this time, Jiang Ji and Feng Yu were in an ordinary-looking carriage on their way to Xianwei County.

As Jiang Ji said before, since he came to this world, he has been dealing with things related to being assassinated, as well as creating martial arts.

The two times he left the Qin Palace, it was because he greeted and bid farewell to Wei Yun, and he didn't carefully understand what the outside world was like.

So Jiang Ji wanted to take this opportunity to see Fengtang to look around, and by the way, to understand what kind of life the people at the bottom of this world are like.

Jiang Ji advised: "After the meeting enters the city, don't call me my identity, we are just ordinary scholars now." ”

"No!"

Study tours were a common occurrence in the Daewoo Empire.

Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, seeing the customs and customs of various places, visiting famous artists, increasing their knowledge, seeing and hearing, and confirming what they have learned, is basically a road that every aspiring and qualified scholar will choose, so the wind of study tours prevails.

Even if the family situation is not good, I will travel to the surrounding area and try to enrich myself.

Of course, in addition to these purposes, study tours are also a way to promote your fame, make more friends, and improve your network.

In this way, many scholars from big families visit good celebrities to get good evaluations, and then spend manpower to advocate, so as to achieve the purpose of fame, and then use this as capital to raise filial piety.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to get out of the poor family, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, even if you have the ability, you may not be able to let high-ranking officials know you, not to mention filial piety at all.

"How far is this Xianwei County?"

"Back to the king, Xianwei County is only more than 100 miles away from Yangzhai, I will wait for noon departure, it has been almost two hours now, it should not be far away. ”

Feng Yu said and lifted the curtains on the side, and asked the guards outside, "What boundary are you now?"

"Back to Shaofu, now this is the boundary of Xianwei, and you will be able to see the county seat in half an hour. ”

Feng Yu nodded slightly, and turned his head to look at Jiang Ji: "Your Majesty, your status is noble, please be careful later, there has been no peace in various places recently." ”

"What's going on?"

Because princes and kings like Jiang Ji do not have the right to participate in politics, and the original body is also a master with no ambitions, he really doesn't know much about the current situation.

Not to mention Jiang Ji, he didn't have the heart to care about these things before, and he exposed this problem when he talked to Wei Yun before.

Feng Yu's face was a little heavy: "This year, there is a big drought in the country, and it has not rained in our Qin country for three consecutive months, and the crops in the field are basically all dead, and the people have no harvest, so now there are thieves everywhere, and the public security is not ideal." ”

Jiang Ji frowned, his expression became serious, the people take food as the sky, if they can't eat enough, they can't live, so naturally they won't be bound by morality and law, and it is possible to do anything.

"How can there be such a long drought? Isn't there a master who can call the wind and rain in the prison and the heavenly prison?

The previous Zhang Jia was able to use the power of the Thunder God Scepter to attract dark clouds and cause thunder and lightning, and those who have truly reached the realm of the Dharma Body, as long as the exercises they practice are related to water, "artificial rainfall" should not be a problem.

Not to mention that the Daewoo Empire has been inherited for thousands of years, and there must be a lot of treasures accumulated, and there must be things like calling for wind and rain.

Feng Yu shook his head, and there was some helplessness in his words: "It's not that the court doesn't care, but there is no good way at all." ”

Facing Jiang Ji's puzzled gaze, he continued: "The Heavenly Prison is a master who calls for wind and rain, but when the manpower is poor, they can only affect a radius of dozens of miles at most, if there is only a few places where there is a major drought, it can be solved, but most of the empire is in drought, and they are just a drop in the bucket." ”

"The drought cannot be solved by one or two rains, and with limited manpower and treasures, we can only give priority to those important places or areas with abundant grain production, and other places are provided by the imperial court for disaster relief. ”

"In this way, even if the drought is still there, it shouldn't cause the situation you said just now, and it's a bit exaggerated to have thieves everywhere, right?"

The response of the imperial court was timely, and the plan was okay, but as long as the people could survive, there were still very few thieves, and it was impossible for Feng Yu to say that the situation was not possible.

Feng Yu sighed when he heard this, his eyes were complicated: "If it's just a year of drought, it's naturally fine, but before it was already a flood and a pandemic, the people were already miserable, plus the people who were full of their own pockets, even if the situation was a little better in the Qin State, not to mention that there were many thieves everywhere." ”

Without personal experience, Jiang Ji didn't have any real sense of what Feng Yu said, he lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out.

At this time, it was already evening, the sun was still shining, and it was barren as far as the eye could see.

Dry vegetation is everywhere, birds are nowhere to be seen, the fields are littered with cracks of various thicknesses, and the ponds that once filled with water are empty, leaving only cracked and hard dirt......

Not only these, Jiang Ji also saw many people digging weeds and other things in the mountains and forests with their children, and looking at their ragged clothes and skinny appearance, he knew how their lives were.

If it was before he understood the situation, Jiang Ji would not have too much emotion when he saw such a situation, but now it is very different.

"Natural and man-made disasters...... Alas!"

Jiang Ji lowered the curtain, and the joy of going out to play had disappeared without a trace.

"The king should not be too worried, for he has heard that rain has begun in some places, and that the drought may soon pass. ”

"Even if there is no drought now, the people have already missed the planting season, and winter is about to begin, and I don't know how many people will die by then. ”

Although he knew this, Jiang Ji was still powerless, he was now just a powerless prince, how many people could he save with his own strength?

Feng Yu didn't know that he was just comforting Jiang Ji before, and he was also powerless, so he could only say dryly: "We all know that the princes of the imperial court must have known about it a long time ago, and maybe there will be some countermeasures." ”

"Perhaps. ”

If there really is any way, the matter will be solved a long time ago, and how many of those high-ranking people will care about these low-level people?

Jiang Ji didn't know.

But he, a person from an ordinary background, still has some care in his heart, he has never forgotten the miserable life when he first crossed, nor has he forgotten the difficulties of the people at the bottom, if possible, he hopes to give these poor people a glimmer of hope and a way to live.

Am I sick of the Virgin?

Jiang Ji smiled self-deprecatingly.
