He covered his face and did not dare to face reality. The mechanism is exhausted, but in the end, the bamboo basket is empty. What could be more tragic than that?

Jiang Yuqing asked people to escort him and led people straight to the residence of the king of Nanjiang, but found that the king of Nanjiang had been dead for a long time. The body was frozen in a coffin by the prince of southern Xinjiang.

After interrogating the palace people in his palace, he found out that he had been dead for six or seven days.

The prince of Southern Xinjiang did not announce the news of his death, just because he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the old ministers below. Jiang Yuqing shook his head and asked people to find the old ministers in southern Xinjiang.

When the courtiers in southern Xinjiang learned about it, they scolded the prince of southern Xinjiang for his unfilial piety.

Jiang Yuqing also released that the prince of Nanjiang was actually the biological son of the high priest of Nanjiang, and he was not born to the princess of Nanjiang at all, or even the flesh and blood of the king of Nanjiang.

And the princess of Southern Xinjiang also admitted that she originally gave birth to a daughter, and she used her daughter to transfer the son of the high priest.

When the matter spread out, the courtiers in southern Xinjiang were stunned.

It turned out that the southern Xinjiang royal family, which they had always been loyal to, was so dirty in private. The elder brother robbed the brother's woman, the brother and the lover joined forces to cuckold the brother, and the sister-in-law transferred the younger brother's son, and the whole thing was messed up.

This is to change to a down-and-out scholar who is in urgent need of money, and keep a book of ethics that can write a hundred chapters back to the body, and the ups and downs are wonderful.

The ministers scolded the prince of southern Xinjiang for his unfilial piety and wolf ambition. The king of Nanjiang is no longer right, and he has also raised him, and he has always been carefully raised as the prince of the king.

His behavior is chilling. They proposed that another person be in charge of southern Xinjiang. Jiang Yuqing said: "People, they must be changed." As for who to replace, let Your Majesty decide! ”

Jiang Yuqing's words were understood by the courtiers in southern Xinjiang.

The Great Xia Emperor is going to completely incorporate Southern Xinjiang into Great Xia. Although they knew that sooner or later there would be this day, when this day really came, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

But the situation is stronger than the people. They have no soldiers in southern Xinjiang, no generals, and even insufficient food production, and they still need support subsidies from Daxia every year, so they don't starve to death.

Their own royal family is like this again, the mud can't support the wall, and they seem to have no other way but to accept it.

Although the king of southern Xinjiang did not make much achievements, during his reign, southern Xinjiang was also stable. Jing Yan was also willing to give him a posthumous honor, and specially ordered him to be buried with the gift of the prince.

At the same time, the Southern Xinjiang State was renamed the Southern Xinjiang Prefecture and officially incorporated into the administrative system of Great Xia. The original members of the southern Xinjiang royal family and courtiers also had their own proper arrangements.

As for the original king of the Western Frontier, the high priest and their illegitimate sons, as well as the family members of the king, they were taken to the capital for trial.

After dealing with these things, the Chi people sent another invitation to Jiang Yuqing. As a friend, I invited her to be a guest of the Chi Clan.

After Jiang Yuqing thought about it for a while, he agreed. If the Chi people can be won over at this sensitive moment, it will obviously be of great benefit to the next strategic development of Great Xia.

Since it is a door-to-door visit, there is no reason to go empty-handed.

Most of them were rustic people who made a living by hunting and growing some food crops on the few plots of land at the foot of the mountains. often works hard for a year, and can barely fill the stomach of the family.

Therefore, the gifts prepared by Jiang Yuqing are also very real. Two carts of grain, a cart of meat, and a cart of wine and cloth are all needed and urgently needed by the people of the Chi people.

There is also a heavy gift, which she put in the spiritual realm, and then decides whether to take it out or not.

The old patriarch and high priest of the Chi tribe led several clan elders to greet her at the foot of the mountain.

After meeting and greeting each other warmly, Jiang Yuqing was immediately invited by them to get on a bamboo sedan chair and was carried up the mountain into their village by four strong men of the Chi tribe.

It is said that this is the highest etiquette for the Chi people to welcome distinguished guests.

When they arrived at the door of the village, a young girl who was as beautiful as a flower immediately held a tray and sang a joyful and loud mountain song, and gave the barricade wine.

Jiang Yuqing and his entourage also followed their customs and drank them one by one.

In order to entertain Jiang Yuqing and his entourage, the Chi people specially killed a precious cow and made a lot of special delicacies of the Chi people. A grand bonfire was also held in the evening.

At the party, the Chi people danced happily around the bonfire.

The old patriarch, who was in his old age, took out a bundle of knotted hemp rope and hung it on the hook of the fence, weaving something by the light of the fire.

Jiang Yuqing nibbled on the delicious roast rabbit leg while quietly watching him tie the knot.

Wuya asked Jiang Yuqing in a low voice: "Does the rope joint have any effect?" ”

Jiang Yuqing said: "The Chi people do not have their own writing, and everything is passed down by word of mouth from the older generation.

In order to record the major events in their continuous migration, they used rope to tie knots to keep records. A knot, a bunch, a note. He is not tying a knot, he is recording the magnificent migration history of their own people. ”

Wuya sincerely admired her: "Madam, you know so much. ”

Jiang Yuqing: "The more books you read, the more you understand." ”

The high priest was an old man over half a hundred years old, and his gray hair and face full of vicissitudes could not stop the shrewdness and wisdom in his eyes.

He took his rice bowl, walked to Jiang Yuqing and sat down, and took two mouthfuls of rice.

A grain of rice fell to the hem of his clothes, and he didn't mind at all, so he picked it up and put it in his mouth very much.

He said in blunt Daxia language: "I have been to the outside world two years ago, and I know that your family is the best at farming.

Can you help us see what we are best suited to grow here? ”

Jiang Yuqing put down the half-gnawed rabbit leg in his hand and looked at him seriously.

"I was free a few days ago, and I walked around some of the hills where you live twice, and found that the mountains here are generally not high, and the soil is quite fertile.

But if it is like flat land, it is not possible to cultivate land and grow grain. But it's not impossible! ”

The high priest's eyes lit up: "Niangniang, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Jiang Yuqing took out a roll of parchment paper from his bag and spread it out, and asked people to take two torches to illuminate it: "Southern Xinjiang is located in a humid and warm zone, although it is mountainous, the rain is also extremely abundant.

The most important thing in farming in the mountains is not the flat land, but how to retain the rainwater. The best thing to do is to reclaim the hillside into terraces, like this......

There are also mountain streams, these water sources can not be wasted, you can also build small reservoirs and ponds to store water, it is really not possible, you can also load water wheels, lift the water to a high place......"

The high priest looked at the drawings and listened to Jiang Yuqing's detailed and patient explanation, which was an eye-opener, like an initiation.

After Jiang Yuqing finished explaining, the high priest got up and solemnly knelt down to Jiang Yuqing: "Thank you Niangniang for giving us such a good method." The people of the Chi people will always remember your kindness. ”

Jiang Yuqing and his entourage stayed overnight in the Chi tribe, and left early the next morning.

Before leaving, the high priest gave Jiang Yuqing a cow skull carved with ancient runes.

He said: "You are a friend and benefactor of the Chi people, and this skull represents our promise to never betray." ”

Jiang Yuqing took it with both hands and expressed his heartfelt thanks. She took out another bull's head from her baggage, and said to the high priest with a smile, "I have another one here." ”

The high priest was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "I know, this one must have been given to you by your third senior brother."

The Divine Doctor of Lu Yi is also an eternal friend of our Chi people. You people in the Heavenly Medicine Valley are all good people. ”

"Thank you for your affirmation!"

After this incident, Jiang Yuqing wanted to return to the capital. She said to Wuya: "I think the bolt and the pillar brothers are good.

People are honest and kind, and they also have a bit of martial arts, you might as well ask them, if you want, you can take them by your side and be an errand runner! ”

Wuya smiled and said, "My subordinates have this intention. Niangniang has the beauty of an adult, and presumably they are also willing. ”

So I asked them what they meant, and they were overjoyed and readily agreed.

When Jiang Yuqing returned to the capital, it was already mid-October.

The twins' second birthday has passed. In order to make up for his debts, Jiang Yuqing planned to cook himself and make a cake for the twins to express his apologies.

However, she still overestimated her craft, and the result was naturally a mess. So she decided to take the children shopping and "go to the restaurant".

It's time for a break. A family of five used illusion to change their appearance slightly, and they left the palace with the four guards in a low-key manner.

First, I went to Li Ji and bought the boy chicken that I didn't buy last time. Then I went to Baoyue Tower and participated in an auction, but I didn't buy anything.

By this time the weather was already cool. In the ginkgo forest outside the Baoyue Building, the golden yellow fell all over the ground, and a gust of wind rolled up pieces of golden brocade, which was beautiful.

They stopped here, admired it for a while, picked up some beautiful leaves and went back to make bookmarks, and then left.

The carriage headed towards the Shengping Building. They booked a table there and were ready to eat there at noon.

From Baoyue Tower to Shengping Building, there is still a distance that is not close. Jiang Yuqing didn't want to bend around on the street, so he ordered Canghai to take a shortcut.

Unexpectedly, when passing by an attic, someone suddenly fell from the sky screaming.

The sea was shocked, and he subconsciously flew up, took the person in his arms, and looked at each other for a while!
