Chapter Forty-Nine: Runes to Protect Against the Cold

It was rare for a light rain to fall in Taicang.

The light rain at this time is not of much benefit to the people of Taicang, because the harvest season has passed, and it is more of a panic.

Because this light rain is a sign that the sun is getting closer.

The day is near, which means that the time has come for a large number of dead people.

"There is still more than a month to go, this is the first day of death since I took the throne, and the major offices must complete all the scheduling plans before the day passes, so that the people of Taicang can have as few deaths as possible. ”

Ji Xia sat on the throne and said to the first ministers.

The ministers should be, Ji Xia asked again: "In the past, in addition to food, the second reason for the death of the people was the unbearable cold, and now in addition to food, Taicang lacks wood for winter heating and winter clothing, is there really no way to solve it?"

Lu Shang Yin said: "Back to the lord of the country, the woodland around the Southern Forbidden Forest has basically been cut down, and the country has planted saplings many times, but the timber consumed every year is too terrifying, and the growth rate of saplings is far less than the speed of the disappearance of the woods. ”

Ji Xia threw the fold in his hand to Zhu, and said in a serious tone: "Then we have to find a way to solve it, if we let it go, it will only be worse for a year, and all the departments can have ideas or methods to solve it?"

There was a sudden silence in the court.

Ji Xia was about to get angry, and a minister hesitated: "I heard that there is a kind of rune in the Great Fu Country, which only needs to be attached to the stove, and the furnace can continuously produce flames, and the flames triggered by the runes are even hotter than the flames burned by wood." ”

"Many wealthy nations continue to buy such runes from the Great Talisman to ward off the cold when the sun is gone. ”

Ji Xia pondered for a long time, and then shook his head: "Today's Taicang is poor and white, and he is far from being able to afford the price of the Great Rune. ”

He thought for a moment, "Is it possible to produce this kind of rune on its own? If it can be engraved on the stove of each household, then the problem of keeping the people warm can be solved." ”

"Lord of the country, because of many reasons such as talent constraints, insufficient conditions, insufficient inheritance, etc., in the past two hundred years, there has never been a rune master, although the runes used for people's livelihood are the lowest runes, but in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, they are also extremely complex things, and the threshold for ordinary countries to mass-produce runes is too high. ”

Speaking is the Taicang Xue Palace acting palace master Pleiades, the Taicang Xue Palace master was originally held by the former lord Ji Shang, and now the first lord has returned, Ji Xia's cultivation is not enough to serve as the palace master of the school palace in the eyes of everyone, so the position of the palace master has been vacant, and the head of the Taicang Xue Palace holds the position of the acting palace master.

In the past few days, Ji Xia has read a lot of Taicang classics and boundless wilderness, and naturally knows that Fu Shi is indeed an unattainable figure for a weak country.

Even in many powerful countries, talismans are very scarce, only a talented race like the Great Fu can give birth to a large number of talismans, and after the Great Fu is reproduced, it has changed from a weak race to a vast and huge country in just three hundred years, which is inseparable from the large number of their talismans.

"Maybe I really should go to the Great Fu Country. Ji Xia thought to himself: "After trading spirit crystals, I will have a chance to see if I can solve the problem of cold runes." ”

There are many deficiencies in wood for fire and cold, first of all, a large amount of wood is needed, the timber reserves around Taicheng are already insufficient, and it is simply a fool's dream to enter the depths of the Southern Forbidden Forest to cut wood, at least the countless fierce beasts that inhabit it will not agree.

Secondly, the temperature of the flame produced by the wood is limited, and every family in Taicang barely has a stove, and the stove is very small, even if there is enough wood, it is not enough for the people of Taicang to spend the sun warmly.

At most, it's just hanging their lives and letting them live.

If you can obtain a large number of cold runes, or get the method of engraving and urging cold runes, it will be of great benefit to the people of Taicang.

"No, for the long-term development in the future, the problem of the sun and the cold must be solved. Ji Xia secretly decided: "In the past years, there were tens of thousands of people who froze to death in Taicang, if this problem is not solved, the population of Taicang will never be able to develop, the population will not develop, and all ambitions are nonsense." ”

"It would be nice if everyone in Taicang could cultivate. If everyone had the strength of more than five heavens, the number of people who froze to death would be greatly reduced. ”

Ji Xia also knew in his heart that this was impossible, not everyone had the cultivation talent of gathering Lingyuan, there were more than 600,000 people in Taicang, and there were only more than 10,000 people who could cultivate, and basically everyone was working for the royal court.

The vast majority of the remaining ordinary people will spend their lives ordinary, tired, and miserable.

"That day, Ji Qianqing said that there is a powerful country in the boundless wilderness, and the people of that country are supernatural powers, and I can't imagine how terrifying that country is, although Dafu is powerful, it is not worth mentioning compared to that kind of country. ”

Ji Xia suddenly had an indescribable emotion in his heart: "I don't know when the human race will be able to juxtapose with that race." ”

He shook his head, and secretly laughed in his heart, the Taicang human race can't even eat enough now, and is still worried about the wood that survives the sun, and now it is too ambitious to envy such a terrifying race and country.

Ants can envy other ants, but when ants look up high and look at the bright scorching sun in the sky, they should never be envious, they just need to look high.

After thinking about it for a while, the next recital was also coming to an end, and after Ji Xia announced his retirement from the dynasty, he wanted to go back to the palace to rest.

The doors and windows of his bedroom have been pressed by the craftsmen of the craftsman's house, this time it is different from the past, the craftsmen are still on the wooden doors and windows, carved a lot of patterns, most of them are some symbols of auspicious beasts, the shabby stone bedroom because of these carvings, there is a little beauty.

It's no longer as monotonous as it used to be.

Ji Xia and Jing Ye stood in front of the door of the dormitory, watching the hundred officials leave the royal court in an orderly manner, and each went to the corresponding office to deal with government affairs, they were like worker ants, methodical and tireless, dealing with Taicang's big and small affairs, even if there were some mistakes sometimes, but their spirit was still commendable.

He was about to praise the conscientious Taicang Baiguan for a few words, when the Great Sun Town Spirit Furnace in the Great Snow Mountain suddenly jumped.

Ji Xia's breath stagnated, and the Great Sun Town Spirit Furnace in the Great Snow Mountain suddenly shot out two spirit elements that were so pure that they could not be increased, and they flowed into his eyes!

The young lord's eyes were hot, and the two rounds of scorching sun emitted an infinite scorching aura, which was reflected in his pupils.

As if through countless spaces, Ji Xia's gaze was thousands of miles away, and suddenly landed on a towering mountain.

On that mountain, a three-eyed god-man and a hundred-foot giant were fighting.
