After settling down in the Taishou Mansion, Cheng Renjun also muttered secretly, I don't know which adult in the capital it is, how did it come to be a group of female dependents.

Not to mention, these ladies are colorful and have all kinds of types.

The beautiful ones like Shen Zhining, Zhao Lingbo and others, the ugly ones like Shu Wuyin, and the veiled Gu Jinge seem to be seriously injured.

Forget it, he doesn't have to guess about the thoughts of these big people.

Xu Mochen and the others, most of them entered the Immortal Dao, so they didn't feel tired, and he had to come to the geographical chronicles, county chronicles and maps of Danzhou in the south.

Seeing that a group of people were going to discuss things again, Shu Wuyin couldn't sit still and wanted to go shopping.

"Don't run around," Xu Mochen knew her depth, "Most of the people in the city are ordinary people, and it's not easy to deal with things."

There are people outside, no matter how busy you are, it's easy to make a mess.

Shu Wuyin nodded: "I know, I won't be so disproportionate, I just think it feels strange here, I'll go see if there are any evil immortals."

Hearing that this was the reason, Xu Mochen did not continue to object.

After Shu Wuyin left, Xu Mochen set a ban in the room, he spread out the map on the table, and Zhao Lingbo flipped through the geographical and county chronicles.

An Zerui, a locally-born immortal cultivator, said: "This is the outline of Danzhou in the south, which is not small in area, of course, it cannot be compared with some large states in Daqian.

The coastal area is not suitable for growing rice or anything like that because of the invasion of the sea, so most of the agricultural land is in this area."

Xu Mochen looked at the place he was pointing at, it was a basin.

Danzhou in the south is surrounded by the sea, and around it there is a large ring mountain range, where there is a river that runs through the entire state and finally joins the sea.

The place where the crater mountain range converges is the basin that Anzeri refers to.

Shen Zhining understood at a glance: "It is similar to an alluvial plain, so the soil should be very fertile."

"The climate is good, and there is plenty of rain," Xu Mochen nodded, "so it is warm like spring all year round, which is suitable for crop growth."

"But just now Taishou introduced," An Zerui smiled bitterly, "Wechen has been away for more than a hundred years, but he doesn't know what he is like now.

It seems that the local people have different customs and do not attach much importance to farming.

In addition, it is said that there is plenty of rain, but it is only during the rainy season, and after that season, there is actually a shortage of water sometimes."

Shen Zhining is also a traverser, and she is knowledgeable: "It seems that the main dependence is on this river."

"This river is called Wanquan River, which means that the water source is very abundant," Anzeri continued, "If Your Majesty wants to find a place to experiment, you can look along the riverbank."

Xu Mochen nodded, and Zhao Lingbo on the side closed the geographical chronicle: "Your Majesty, this book records that the Wanquan River is relatively abundant in spring and summer, but in autumn and winter, it often dries up."

"No," Anzeri was a little confused, "When Wechen was here, it was normal all year round."

Xu Mochen frowned, what Zhao Lingbo said should be true, then in this way, don't talk about a bumper harvest, I'm afraid that the general harvest will be difficult.

"Let's find out what's going on," Xu Mochen thought, "It's impossible for the water source to be cut off suddenly."

"It is also possible that the environment has changed," Shen Zhining disagreed, "At that time, will there be a phenomenon of seawater backflow?"

Zhao Lingbo nodded, worthy of being a virtuous concubine who was eight years old: "Yes, it is very clearly written on this, every year the seawater is poured back, so that a lot of originally fertile land is now gradually turned into saline-alkali land."

If that were the case, they would have run for nothing.

"There's no way for the local Taishou Mansion to control the river or something." Xu Mochen was a little angry, such inaction, the so-called unique treasure land will be abandoned sooner or later.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Lingbo bit his lip, "The courtiers just took a look at it in conjunction with the county chronicles, and found that there were records written in it, in the spring and autumn seasons, worshipping the mountain gods, the river gods, and the sea gods."

Xu Mochen turned around suddenly: "Xiu."

Immortals?"

"I don't know if it's a folk belief or if there are immortal cultivators involved," Zhao Lingbo hesitated, after all, she was the only one in the room who was 100% Terran, "It's just that the sacrifice is very effective."

An Zerui's expression also became solemn: "It seems that in the past hundred years, due to the war in Middle-earth, this place has changed a lot, no wonder Weichen came and didn't see anyone from Qiongqing Palace.

Your Majesty, Wechen requests to return to the sect immediately."

Xu Mochen agreed: "Check carefully, what happened.

The county lord, does the county chronicle record what kind of sacrifice is valid?"

"Effective," Zhao Lingbo is also a talented woman, and he never forgets his actions, "but it seems that the sacrificial conditions are very demanding, and it cannot be continued every year.

According to the county annals, the festival is held once every three or five years to ensure that the sea water does not backflow, the Wanquan River has sufficient water, and the local agriculture is maintained."

Xu Mochen understood that due to the objective conditions, there is not much arable land that can be used in Danzhou in the south now.

If this continues, I am afraid that all the arable land in the entire state will become saline-alkali land, and it will be impossible to grow crops.

It's just that these are all records, and he actually needs to verify them with his own eyes.

He came to the table, looked at the map carefully, and asked for a long time, "Aifei, do you think that if you build a reservoir here, you can use it to regulate the water supply...... Will it work?"

Shen Zhining searched the basic conditions for building a reservoir, and she pointed to a place: "Your Majesty, this place is surrounded by mountains, and the Wanquan River passes through the middle, and there is only one exit, which is an excellent place to build a reservoir."

As soon as she said this, everyone gathered around.

Fang Minghang's brother and sister also think it is feasible.

However, there was no reinforced concrete in this era, and if the reservoir was built, it would be relied on manpower......

I'm afraid that Danzhou in the south will not be able to draw out labor.

If you use immortal arts, there is still hope.

Xu Mochen rolled up the map: "This is only a temporary inference for the time being, and we need to investigate further.

From tomorrow onwards, everyone will act separately.

Concubine Ai, together with the county lord and Xie Lao, took a tour of this city and fully understood their customs.

Xie Lao can also learn about the situation of medicinal herbs.

Lord An, hurry back to Qiongqing Palace and find out what happened.

Fang Minghang Fang Mingying, you go look for it and see if there are any oak trees.

As for me, I and Tang Aiqing will go out of the city to investigate in person."

The people took the command.

At the end of the meeting, everyone went back to their rooms.

Xu Mochen took a breath and sat down, frowning.

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun persuaded, "the situation may not be as bad as imagined.

Xu Mochen shook his head: "It's not the farming thing that I'm worried about, I just feel that if there is an immortal cultivator behind me who is secretly dominating, it is really unforgivable."

The attitude of the Ten Directions World towards the human race is not deeply intervened.

Tang Derun sighed: "In this remote area, I'm afraid that the Ten Directions World will pay little attention, and some problems will inevitably arise."

Xu Mochen waved his robe: "That's it, it's really an immortal cultivator, no matter what the origin, I will definitely get rid of it quickly."
