Through the explanation of the shopkeeper, Song Yifei finally understood why he was so poor.

It is indeed because of planting trees!

From the perspective of modern people, it should be called invasive species.

At that time, the magistrate of the county was particularly fond of willow trees, especially the scene of catkins flying. In order to satisfy his personal hobby, it is not known where to look for a special willow tree, which can appear for a long time in the flying.

The common willow tree only flies from April to May, while this special catkins can float from March to July.

There is no environmental protection in this world, and the magistrate, in the name of protecting the river, ordered the people to plant this special willow tree on both sides of the river.

At that time, people did not know the harm of this willow tree, and with the intention of knowing the county, the river was soon planted with willow trees.

As the old saying goes, there are flowers that do not bloom when planted intentionally, and willows and willows are planted without intention.

The willow tree itself is very difficult to plant, and after planting it with heart, a large willow forest began to appear near the county seat after planting the river.

In the early days, the catkins were flying, and the people were bored, but the literati and artists were overjoyed, and some scholars even traveled hundreds of miles to come here to watch.

The sudden increase in tourism income has completely eliminated the resistance of the local people to willows, and many people have planted willows in front of their homes.

But the good times did not last long, and with the large-scale planting of willows, another attribute of willows slowly became prominent.

Poisonous!

This willow tree has a toxin that kills other plants. This toxin is not only found in willow forests, but also on catkins.

The crops covered by catkins plummeted in yield, and in less than three years, the entire Liulin County became barren.

In the beginning, the squires organized the cutting of trees, but it still took several years for the land to be replanted, and it took even longer to restore normal yields.

In ancient times, the productive forces were backward, the landlord's family did not have much surplus grain, and there was no income for several years, and the emperor could not withstand it, let alone the squires and the common people.

Later, someone proposed to use fire, and the effect was really good at first, and the things that originally required time and effort were now solved by fire.

But everyone didn't expect that it was this fire that completely pushed Liulin County into the bottomless abyss.

This willow tree itself has a characteristic, that is, how easy it is to burn oil. This would have been good news because it was convenient to ignite. But it also brought bad news, that is, some of the remaining plants around the willow forest were also burned to death.

What's even worse is that the willow trees, which the people thought had been burned, actually sprouted again and thrived the next year. The other plants that were roasted to death by the fire were completely finished.

The burned catkins and willow ashes made the ground more toxic, making Liulin County a real barren land, similar to the saline-alkali land in the frontier.

The Daqian Dynasty did not have a planned economy and a team that professionally governed the environment, and the people who realized it later were powerless to return to heaven.

"Now in the county seat, everything that can be moved has been moved! There are only some people who really can't be moved, stay here and wait for death!"

"I see!"

Song Yifei recalled that when he first entered Liulin County, he saw a large area of wasteland, and finally understood why.

There are many solutions to this kind of thing, Song Yifei, who has a modern soul, but he is not an official of the imperial court, and he is too lazy to care about the life or death of the people here.

"If you want to stay for a few days, try not to go out of the city at will! There are many people who will burn them with fire in order to remove the flying flotsam, and if they are not careful, it is easy to be trapped inside. ”

The shopkeeper specially reminded Song Yifei.

After eating, Song Yifei lay in the guest room and rested for a while, then asked Xiao Er for directions, and rushed to Laojunguan alone.

Song Yifei's job is very simple, which is to manage Wudang's industry in Liulin County. However, looking at the situation in Liulin County, it is estimated that those industries in Wudang have already existed in name only.

"Brother is not bad for money! Is there a Wudang industry, it has little impact on me! The right is to find a place to clean up!"

Song Yifei didn't have much hope for such a thing as fishing for oil and water from the beginning. is saying that he has a huge sum of 100,000 yuan, and he can't look down on this bit of oil and water.

Laojunguan is one of Wudang's local industries, and it is also the place where he and Ma Zhao agreed.

The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and Song Yifei walks alone on the mountain road.

Looking around, there is a kind of poetry of heavy snow. If you put aside the hazards of catkins, this scenery is indeed beautiful!

Laojun Temple is built on Laojun Mountain, and Laojun Mountain is only a hill less than 100 meters, and Laojun Temple is only a small Taoist temple, which is not worth mentioning compared with Wudang Mountain.

Any palace and hall on Wudang Mountain are ten times larger.

As he got closer, the image of Lao Junguan gradually appeared in Song Yifei's eyes.

There is no fairy spirit, no antique, no clear spring and flowing water, only sitting north to south, more than a dozen dilapidated halls, standing alone on the mountainside.

A section of more than 30 meters long horse wall, horizontal on the side, wooden gate, full of holes, through the holes, can clearly view the scene.

The main building of Sanjin, the shadow wall, the shrine, the upper part is engraved with the stone pillar of the couplet, in the far point is the main hall with the Sanqing plaque, the temple door has been demolished, and several lacquered mottled statues are vaguely seen.

In the courtyard, there was an old Taoist priest wearing a shabby robe, who was holding a broom to clean the catkins that had just flown off.

Bang bang!

Song Yifei walked to the door of the Taoist temple and knocked lightly.

Hearing the knock on the door, the old Taoist priest who swept the floor showed a surprised look, then put down the broom and walked quickly to the door.

Creak!

"I don't know what happened to Childe?"

The old Taoist priest opened the door, looked at Song Yifei, who was dressed as a rich son, and asked suspiciously.

The old Taoist priest has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his face is a little more red than the people in the city, and it seems that he should live a good life.

"I've heard there's ...... here."

Song Yifei originally wanted to say that he was a tourist of Shangxiang, and he was going to find out the situation in the temple and show his identity.

At this moment, a young man of twenty-eight or nineteen years old in a gray cloth robe, who was white and chubby, and a little Lori who was thirteen or fourteen years old in a white lady's clothes, suddenly ran out of the porch.

"Dead fatty, you dare to be greedy for even my money, believe it or not, I will kill you!"

"Auntie, I dare to be greedy for your money, it's the inn at the bottom of the mountain that sits on the ground, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"You don't follow nonsense! The last time Ah Niu went down the mountain, why wasn't it so expensive!"

"There was a lot of goods under the mountain before, and now there are fewer goods under the mountain!"

"If you don't admit it yet!!!Then eat me with a sword!!"

"Auntie, don't cut it! I don't have any clothes to wear!"

Little Lori is holding a long sword in her hand, her body is flexible, her steps are subtle, and she keeps chasing and slashing the white fat man in front of her.

The robe on the white fat man's body has already had many sword marks, and it looks tattered, like a beggar on the side of the road, very miserable.

"Liu light cicada!!Why are you here??"

After seeing the appearance of the little Lori, Song Yifei showed a look of shock.

"Ah Fei, you're finally here!"

When Liu Qingcian heard Song Yifei's voice, he immediately gave up chasing Ma Zhao and ran over happily.

Hoodlum??

I'm still a little boss!!

Ma Zhao appeared in the Taoist temple, and Song Yifei was not surprised, after all, the two agreed to meet here. But when Liu Qingcicada appeared here, he really couldn't understand it.

Could it be that this girl smuggled out of the house?

According to Song Yifei's understanding of Liu Qingcicada, it is really very possible!

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice! Tell me first, why are you here?"

Song Yifei's footsteps moved sideways, dodging the fluttering Liu Qingcicada, and asked coldly with a frown.

He didn't want to be charged with abducting and selling an ignorant girl.

"I'm looking for you!"

"What are you looking for me, and how did you get out of the house?"

"Looking for you to explore the rivers and lakes together, didn't we make an appointment!" Liu Qingcian said with a grin.

"I smuggled out of the house, don't worry, I've already left a letter, my father and mother won't worry!" Liu Qingcicada said lightly.

Don't worry about ghosts!

"How did you know about this? Forget it! No matter how you know, now hurry up and pack your things and go back!" Song Yifei said with a cold face.

Liu Qingcicada is not cannon fodder like Ma Zhao and Ah Niu, no one asks when they die, if Liu Qingcicada has three long and two short, just Daddy and Mother are enough for him to drink a pot.

"Big brother, you're finally here! I'm almost worried about you!"

At this time, Ma Zhao also ran over with a big round face.

Looking at Ma Zhao, who seemed to have eaten fat again, Song Yifei smiled in his heart.

Worrying about me being fake, worrying about my money, is it true!

However, Song Yifei didn't bother to poke this two-faced fat man.

"Just the two of you?

"Ah Niu is here too! He's chopping wood in the backyard! And Little Nine Girl!"

"Xiao Jiu?!Why is she here?"
