Lord Chen also chatted with Zhou Yu, and the two of them were short of a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and if they continued to chat, they almost bowed to each other.

Even, Zhou Yu was reluctant to leave, and repeatedly said that he could find him if he had something in the future.

"Dad, what did you say to him, fooling around like this?" Chen Xue was a little curious.

"Go, go, who fooled him." Lord Chen was a little dissatisfied, "I just vaguely said that we still have a chance to get up, and officials like them who want to climb up will naturally take the bait......"

In fact, it is also true.

Zhou Yu has been a servant for several years, and he knows very well that don't look at these officials being exiled, but who knows if they will be reinstated the next day, and this kind of thing is not uncommon.

On the contrary, he has seen more.

Like being the prime minister of the dynasty, he has been exiled several times, and it is not the second year that he was reused by the emperor and re-served as the prime minister.

Except for those who have no vision, they will step on these exiled officials, and those who have a little vision know that these big officials, as long as they are not dead, are likely to rise up, so if they can not be offended, they will not be offended, and if they can have a good relationship, they will have a good relationship.

Moreover, Xu Tian, a servant with a background, is saying every day that Lord Chen is wronged and so on, although Zhou Yu and they have seen a lot of this situation, they also know that the wronged will always find out, that is to say, Lord Chen still has a chance to get up.

Therefore, Zhou Yu will think about having a good relationship with the Chen family.

"So, in addition to the combination of grace and power, there are many other means......"

Master Chen taught Chen Xue some of his experience in officialdom, although his daughter is not an official, it doesn't hurt to learn more.

Rumble!

Thunder sounded from above everyone's heads, and everyone's faces suddenly changed.

"Speed up!"

"Smack!"

"If you don't want to become a soup chicken, hurry up!"

"There is a post station not far ahead, so you can rest when you arrive."

The officials looked at the darkening sky and felt the whirring wind, and suddenly became anxious, brandishing their whips and urging.

The prisoners were also a little anxious, and if they didn't find a place to hide from the rain, they would all get wet.

Getting wet is a trivial matter, and if they get sick, the officials will not be kind enough to help them find a doctor.

The Chen family also sped up, although they had a carriage to hide from the rain, but the subordinates did not, and if the subordinates were sick, it would be a trouble.

Rumble!

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.

The crowd hastened their way, but they still couldn't reach the post station before the rain, and in desperation, the officials had to go back to the carriage to hide from the rain, and the prisoners could only hide in the woods to avoid the rain.

Whoa!

Bean-sized rain fell from the sky and fell to the ground, and then a howling wind came, rolling up the dust and leaves on the ground, and roaring at the people.

The prisoners were huddled under the trees, huddled in a ball, and minimized the area to be exposed to the rain, and even protected the elderly and children in them.

The rain soon enveloped the whole world, and the prisoners shrank under the trees like a circle of quails.

Rumble!

The thunder shone brightly, and the loud sound frightened countless children into screaming.

Fortunately, there was no thunderbolt coming down.

"An autumn rain and a cold!"

Lord Chen looked at the rain outside and couldn't help but sigh, after this rain, the weather became cooler.

Because of the heavy rain, the officials and messengers took shelter from the rain, so there was no need to rush at all, and everyone in the Chen family shrank in the carriage.

"Today is the second day of exile, although it is still early, but we must also consider our plans after being exiled to Nanban......

Although Lord Chen had never been to Nanban, he had more or less heard of it, "The environment over there is very harsh, the miasma is dense, and snakes, rats and ants are everywhere......"

In a word, on the Nanban side, the poor mountains and bad waters, the people who were exiled there basically died of illness within a few years.

Although Chen Xue has never been there, he can refer to the ancient south in his previous life, when the environment was almost as bad as the Nanban here.

The Nanban area is very humid and difficult to live in, not to mention all kinds of dangers, miasma, snakes, rats, insects and ants...... There are even harassment and aggression from time to time by the Southern Barbarians.

These people were exiled to the land of the Nanban, one is to develop the Nanban and make it habitable, but also to defend against the Nanban.

Of course, it's not that they are going to fight with the Nanban, after all, they can't stop it if they go, but to do logistics.

These exiled prisoners will be arranged in exile towns and villages, so that they can reclaim wasteland, farm and pay grain, and maintain the food of the soldiers stationed there.

Those soldiers were training on weekdays, so they didn't have time to farm, and the mountains and roads were far away, so there was no way to buy food, so these exiles were needed.

"So, I asked Xu Tian about ......" Lord Chen looked at his wife and daughter, "The destination of our exile is the new village, which was just built last year, and the last group of exiles lived there......"

"The environment in Xinxiang is very bad, it is said that 300 people were exiled last year, and this year there are less than 50 people......"

"Hiss~"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, there were less than fifty people left in three hundred, what does such a high mortality rate mean? It shows that it's really bad over there.

"Although I don't want to scare you, I'm afraid the truth is still grim," Lord Chen sighed, those border guards would definitely lie about the situation for the sake ......of face and official position.

So, perhaps, there are fewer people in Xinxiang who survived.

"Why is the mortality rate so high...... Dad, have you found out why? Chen Xue was a little nervous, thinking that the road to exile was already terrifying, but she didn't expect that the road was just an appetizer.

"Food, disease, the invasion of the Nanban...... These are all problems! Master Chen sighed, "Especially the food...... When we go there, we will not be provided with food, at most some grain, but we will not be able to eat the grain, and if the harvest does not meet the requirements in the next year, we will be driven out and starved to death in the mountains and forests......"

Chen Xue learned about the situation over there, after they passed, they would be arranged in the village, and then the officials would only provide food, and they would need to figure out how to do it themselves.

Just exiled there, there is no food, you can only go to the wild to look for it, but what kind of environment is Nanban...... There are mountains and forests everywhere, snakes, rats, insects, ants, tigers, leopards, jackals, all in groups.

Many people were either starved to death, eaten by tigers, leopards, jackals, or bitten by snakes, rats, insects and ants.

In short, over there, nine lives are not enough to die.

"Dad, mother, don't worry!"

Just when everyone was in a heavy mood, Chen Xue spoke, "I still have thousands of catties of food in my sleeve, so we don't have to worry about food ...... at all."

"It's not just food." Lord Chen thought far, "Miasma is also a big problem, and the reason why the deaths and injuries are so serious is because of the miasma ......"

"In addition, snakes, rats, insects and ants, these are also problems, the creatures over there are not like ours, the creatures over there are wild, bloodthirsty and cruel......"

If these problems are not solved, it will be very difficult for them to survive in Nanban.

Chen Xue also had a headache, but suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, she has an exchange system in her space.

As long as you have money, nothing is a problem.

Miasma, she can exchange for antidote pills, etc.

Snakes, rats, insects, ants, she can exchange realgar, insecticides, etc.

These can be done as long as you have money, and besides, there is not much development on the Nanban side, and there are all kinds of medicinal materials, which is simply a treasure land.

All she had to do was pick herbs for the system to recycle, and she would be able to harvest contribution points, which she would then use to exchange for things like pesticides, and that was the cycle......

You don't have to pay for it yourself, and you can live a chic life in Nanban.
