Chapter 880 Encounter
I stayed in this tavern for four or five days. During this time, Daniel and Wang Xuance stayed here, and the wind season in the Western Regions had already begun.

The wind outside was a bit loud, and a group of people in the tavern were sitting here eating mutton and talking.

Mou came to Daniel's room, and Daniel, who had just woken up, looked at him with a yawn and asked, "Has the thing entered the customs?"

Mou stood at the door and said: "It's all done, and you can go to Jingyang in three days. Besides, Wang Xuance is very suspicious of the villain."

Daniel nodded, "Brother Wang doesn't know your identity. If we don't tell him clearly, Brother Wang is just suspicious at most. Before the teacher nods, don't tell too many people about your identity."

Mo Wei understood a little bit, "There is also a group of Guanzhong soldiers who have arrived three miles away from our post house, and they will arrive in two hours."

Da Niu said while washing up, "Understood."

After tidying up briefly, Daniu followed Movoi down the stairs.

Mou said again: "The villain's people have followed those people from Xizhou City to Xizhou, and now it seems that there is nothing unusual."

Daniel smiled and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You, Mr. Mo, are now in the Hexi Corridor, but you can command most of the Western Regions."

Hearing this, Mou said in a low voice, "It's all for Chang'an Order."

Daniel smiled and didn't say much.

The soldiers under him on the first floor were all eating here, and Daniel looked out the window and the wind and sand were quite heavy.

Holding a bowl of braised pork, Wang Xuance said, "I didn't expect this restaurant to serve braised pork from Jingyang. It is said that the chef of the restaurant is from Jingyangfang City."

Daniu glanced at the braised pork in the bowl, and said that it is normal to be able to eat a bowl of braised pork here because of the relationship between Mou and the teacher.

"Everyone who came out with us from Jingyang likes this place very much. You can eat such authentic millet rice, braised pork, and spirits here, which can only be eaten in Jingyang. You can’t even eat braised pork in Chang’an that tastes so similar to Jingyang.”

He was really hungry just after waking up, so Daniel took a piece of cake and ate it, while looking at his notebook in his hand, which contained many experimental results of his use of firearms.

Every experiment is recorded. This is what I learned from the teacher. It is like when the teacher made paper, it was only after recording and summarizing again and again that the paper that can be printed quickly was obtained.

Turning over a page is the experimental record of landmines. When I first came out of the snow mountain, I received a letter from the teacher, and the design drawings of landmines were drawn on the letter.

When I first got the letter, I found that the sealing wax on the letter had actually been opened and read, because every time the teacher sent a letter, he would stick a very short hair on the back of the sealing wax, which seemed to be an unintentional move. is a token.

But it is not necessarily how many people can understand such a complicated drawing.

Even the numbers and formulas on the drawings may not be explained by others.

While looking at the note in his hand, the door of the tavern was opened, and a gust of wind and sand blew in.

The visitors were dressed in the clothes of Guanzhong soldiers and horses. It seemed that more than 1000 people had come, which made the tavern quite crowded at once.

Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui finally walked into the closed door of the tavern.

After slapping the sand off his body, Pei Xingjian looked at the people sitting in the tavern.

Wang Xuance saw Xue Rengui at a glance, and said in surprise: "Xue Rengui! Brother Xue!"

Xue Rengui was even more surprised when he saw Wang Xuance, he was stunned for a while, almost didn't recognize Wang Xuance who appeared now, stepped forward, looked at the familiar face and said, "Wang Xuance!"

"Hahaha!" Wang Xuance laughed loudly, "I knew that there would be a team from Jingyang coming to the Western Regions, but I didn't expect to see you here so soon."

Seeing Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian bowed slightly and said, "Brother Xue."

Everyone is from Jingyang, and they chatted together soon.

Xue Rengui looked at the current Wang Xuance: "Long time no see, I have suffered a lot in the Western Regions this year, it looks dark and thin."

Wang Xuance waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, what about the army in the court? Why are you the only ones here?"

Xue Rengui poured himself a bowl of wine and said: "The soldiers and horses in the court are not familiar with the Hexi Corridor. Once the army arrives, it will be the wind season in the Western Regions. After the wind season is over, they can continue to march. They are all waiting in the Hexi Corridor. Come check out the situation."

Pei Xingjian also saw Daniel who was eating, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Daniel!"

Daniu looked at Pei Xingjian with a cake in his mouth and said, "According to your age, you are still underage, why did you enlist in the army?"

Pei Xingjian said: "It was I who told the teacher that I would join the army and practice medicine."

Daniel closed his notebook and put it aside and said, "How is Jingyang doing recently?"

Pei Xingjian took the millet from Movo and ate it and said, "Now Your Majesty is escaping the summer heat in Jingyang. Today Jingyang is very busy. After the rainy season, Chang'an will start repairing the drainage canals."

Daniel said again: "Where is the teacher, are you still planting trees these days?"

Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "It's still being planted now. Now the grove to the west of Jingyang has become bigger. The land that couldn't even grow food before has been planted with trees."

Daniel took a sip of wine, "Due to the continuous reclamation of the land in Guanzhong, a lot of trees have been cut down for food. The king wants food to save national strength, but he doesn't know that excessive reclamation will turn the land into desert. There is no food to grow.”

Pei Xingjian said in a low voice: "The old people in the village have seen it. After planting trees, the land will get better again. Maybe it will be possible to grow food again in a few years. But Brother Big Niu, there is one thing that I always feel very conflicted about."

Daniel ate the millet and said, "What a contradiction."

Pei Xingjian put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, "The population in Guanzhong has been increasing in the past two years. A family has four or five children and the government will return money, but the larger the population, the more food is needed. Maybe it is for your majesty's food. would want to cut down trees."

Daniel said: "This is actually not contradictory. Jingyang has a lot of grain now, and the court and China have begun to cultivate rice seeds from Lingnan."

Seeing Pei Xingjian's expression, he seemed to be a little worried about the forest. In fact, Daniel knew that the potatoes and new rice seeds that the teacher planted in the village can increase the grain production several times, but the planting has not been popularized yet.

"Turning a desert into a forest means changing the world." Speaking of this, Pei Xingjian said: "I always feel that the teacher's forest is all the way to the west, and he wants to turn the desert west of Guanzhong into a forest."
