Chapter 25 Shiyang River
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has a nominal prince at this moment, there is no real next prince.
In order to compete for the position of the ethereal prince, the princes can be said to be fighting openly and secretly, plus they are not born of the same mother, and the only bit of brotherhood has also been exhausted in this battle for the prince.
The eldest prince Leng Yang was the initiator of this war, and at this time he heard that Leng Yan was not only alive, but also that the Xuanwolf Iron Horse still had remnants, so it was strange that he was not angry.
"Elder Xuan, what do you think about this matter?"
After the eldest prince Leng Yang was angry, he looked at an old man in gray next to him and said.
This gray-clothed old man is his chief staff, and his cultivation has reached the level of an innate martial artist, and he is definitely one of the top masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Prince Qiyu, this matter is difficult to say, and it is simple to say, as long as the salt supply of Quanyang County is cut off, no matter how strong Leng Yan's henchmen are, they can't make waves. ”
The gray-clothed old man, who is called Xuan Lao, looks confident.
"What's so hard about cutting off the salt supply?"
Leng Yang raised his eyebrows, and a puzzled look appeared on his face,
Now the third child no longer has the identity of a prince, just a county order, even a prefect can easily do it.
"After all, there are still 50,000 people in Quanyang County, and letting them accompany them to the funeral will inevitably affect some reputations. ”
Xuan Lao said expressionlessly.
But this sentence in the ears of the eldest prince set off a monstrous wave in his heart, in order to extinguish the cold flame, let 50,000 people follow the funeral, this is not just to affect the reputation of such a simple, if the people of the world know, it will definitely be a big mess.
"This?"
For a while, Leng Yang was in trouble, he cherished his feathers very much, the impact of this matter was too great, and he had to consider it carefully.
"Now the Great Liang Dynasty has cut off my salt supply, and the major forces are vying to hoard salt, but once the salt shortage starts, there will definitely be many people who will suffer, Quanyang County is located in a remote area, and it is a desolate place all around, and it is normal for some people to die on their side, so this matter is worth a fight, and there is also the second prince's side, and even His Majesty's side may acquiesce in this matter, so this matter is worth a fight. ”
Xuan Lao's words poked directly into the depths of Leng Yang's heart,
After weighing it again and again, he finally made up his mind,
"Okay, then it's decided, do everything you can to cut off the salt supply in Quanyang County!"
In the Great Prince's Mansion, orders began to be handed down.
Compared with the eldest prince, the second prince's cold heart was much more ruthless, and he did not hesitate to order his forces to cut off the salt supply in Quanyang County at all costs.
At the beginning, he quietly gave Leng Yan a cloud and yang scattered,
Therefore, in his mind, although Leng Yan has the help of the remnants of the Xuanwolf, he himself has become an idiot, as long as the salt supply is cut off, Quanyang will be destroyed.
In the palace, in the imperial study, there was only the emperor Leng Jue and an old man in red, and his cold face was also cloudy and uncertain at the moment, and he knew the rumors in the market at the first time.
"Impossible, there is absolutely no remnant of the Xuanwolf Iron Horse, that plan is seamless, who is helping the third child!"
After a long time, Leng Jue slowly spoke, and his tone was slightly tired.
"According to the old slave's opinion, maybe someone from the rivers and lakes taught that Huang Si a lesson, after all, Huang Si only has the cultivation of a martial artist. ”
The old man in red's voice was still very low.
"Since this is the case, then send someone to take a look, as for the salt offering in Quanyang County, it will be broken, if the third child can survive, it is his creation, if it falls, it is also his life. ”
Although Leng Jue seems to have no emotion in his mouth, he is actually ruthless to the extreme, he thought of it with the eldest prince and the second prince, if this can really get rid of Leng Yan completely, he will not bear the infamy of killing his own son.
"Yes, old slave, let's do it!"
The old man in red retreated, and Leng Jue pinched his eyebrows.
Of course, he knew why the girder would cut off the salt supply at a critical moment, but so what?
If you can sit in this position for a long time, what is the death of some people!
In Quanyang County, Leng Yan and Jiang Wei, Du Ruhui, Song Ci and others appeared outside the city.
In the past few days, with Du Ruhui and Song Ci, the entire Quanyang County has begun to change for the better.
With Leng Yan's support, the entire Quanyang County was exempted from taxes for three years, and some particularly poor people, Leng Yan also gave a few sheep and a ploughing cow, so as long as the supply of food and other aspects is sufficient, it is only a matter of time before this side becomes a rich land.
Now the hearts of the people of Leng Yan Zaiquanyang are no longer the Lord of the Blue Sky, but have become their backbone and their king.
"My lord, the weather has been dry and rainless recently, and the crops on the outskirts of the city have begun to turn yellow. ”
On horseback, Du Ruhui touched his beard and said worriedly.
They are now passing through a field with their heads drooping from the crops, which is a sign of lack of rain.
At this moment, there were still two old farmers working in the field, and when they saw Leng Yan and his party coming, they hurriedly ran over, knelt down and bowed, calling to meet the adults.
For many years, they had never seen a county lord come to inspect the field in person, so they were excited and moved at the same time, and unconsciously Leng Yan's status in their hearts rose a few points.
"My lord, it's hot here, I brought some water here, if you don't dislike it, you can quench your thirst!"
After Leng Yan and the others dismounted, the two old farmers immediately took out a broken bowl and a broken jar, and wanted to fill Leng Yan with water while talking.
"Uncle, forget it, the weather is hot, you still have to work, and this water will be left to you!"
Leng Yan naturally won't drink their water, the vicinity of this county town looks bare, and it should be very difficult to fetch water.
Unexpectedly, after Leng Yan refused, the two old farmers actually looked at each other and smiled,
"But do you think that the fields are in drought, and we people can't drink water?"
"Huh?" Leng Yan was surprised, and even the few people accompanying him showed puzzled looks,
Isn't it true? The weather is dry and rainless, and the ground is full of loess when one foot is stepped on, and it is strange that the people have water to drink.
Seeing the puzzled expressions of Leng Yan and his party, one of the old farmers said a shocking thing,
"My lord, do you know that there is a river a hundred miles away from the county seat, called Shiyang River, which is strange at this moment, and the banks of the river trough are composed of complete rocks. ”
"This river flows continuously all year round, and it is very clear, but because the whole river channel is lower than our Quanyang County, so adults can't see it when they stand here, and our fields can't use the water of the Shiyang River to water the fields, but the water that people drink is still relatively rich. ”
After the old farmer explained, Leng Yan and the others finally understood, but they didn't expect that there was such a place in Quanyang County.
"Uncle, can you take us to have a look?"
Leng Yan's mind moved, he always thought that this place was a Gobi Desert, but he didn't expect that there would be such a place.
In this way, it has become much easier for Quanyang County to develop, and as long as there is water, many things will be much more convenient.
