Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 295 All the people come to visit, man will conquer the sky!
There is a well in Zhaozhou City, together with the underground spring, the water quality is excellent and the taste is sweet.

In addition to prescriptions, modern medical theory also pays attention to the water used in medicine, and the ground spring well in Zhaozhou City is unanimously considered by many doctors to be the most suitable water source, and it has also become a special well water for medicine.

When Qi Zhongbin took Yu Jing and the Danwan jade box to Diquanjing, he couldn't help but look at the box again and again, but he didn't dare to open it easily.

"This is the elixir!"

"That's right, this is the real elixir. As I told you, this pill is called Yangyuan Pill. When the furnace rises, the pill will form five pills, and this is the last one!"

the last one
Qi Zhongbin resisted the urge to open it now, and quickly walked towards the well.

Senior Gray had already told him about his senior brother in Tiandou Mountain before, this elixir can't be looked at casually, it can run away.

Qi Zhongbin still doesn't know how to fly into the sky and escape from the ground. If this pill escapes, he will probably have to trouble his master and senior gray to catch him.

Diquan wells are not only covered with thick stone slabs, but are now guarded by government officials all the time.

Obscurity is not a panacea, too much movement is easy to attract attention.

Before Qi Zhongbin got to the well, he circulated the spiritual energy in his body, and a faint mist had already been produced from his fingertips in the blink of an eye, from which emerged a faintly visible bug, which was the spell that Yi Shuyuan helped him improve.

"Hu~~"

With a light breath, the sleepy bug flew to the dark place of several houses by the well without a sound.

After the sleepy bug flew around, the official guard in the dark suddenly felt drowsy, and tried to persevere, but after a yawn, he was getting more and more tired, and soon fell asleep.

Qi Zhongbin then quickly appeared by the well, and then grabbed the cover stone on the well with both hands, and lifted the stone up as soon as he moved his strength.

Hui Mian jumped to the mouth of the well, opened the lid of the small jade box first, and a pale yellow pill appeared in front of Qi Zhongbin.

"Hey, let me show you, it looks like this, because it's wrapped in a layer of fresh air, so you can't smell it and you can't see the light. Apart from melting it when it meets water, it can also pinch it, but if it doesn't Watch out, the elixir is gone!"

Qi Zhongbin looked at it for a while, then nodded.

Seeing that he had seen enough, Hui Mian threw the pill directly into the well.

"Puff~"

With a slight sound, Qi Zhongbin quickly looked into the well, and saw that the pill had a faint radiance after entering the water, but soon, a foot ruler fell into the water, and the radiance of the pill faded again.

The Fuchi vibrated in the water, there was a faint thunder, and the water surface in the well rippled.

"Yu Jing doesn't seem very happy!"

After Hui Mian said this, he jumped back to Qi Zhongbin's shoulder, and the latter gently put down the stone slab.

"A elixir can save the lives of more than 20 people in Zhaozhou City, and it's worth it!"

Having said that, Qi Zhongbin leaped lightly, like a light swallow leaping onto the nearby roof, and then swayed to the distance with his toes.

Hearing what Qi Zhongbin said, Hui Mian just smiled "hehe", no matter whether it is the innocent Shi Sheng or the honest and steady Qi Zhongbin, the disciples of the master are all very good-natured.

Anyone else would feel very sorry for this elixir, after all, not to mention the world of cultivation, even on the way of cultivating immortals, this thing is a rare treasure.

"Hey boy Qi, if you put this elixir in front of Emperor Dayong and ask him to choose, how would he choose?"

As Qi Zhongbin broke through the wind and left, he also thought about it seriously.

"If you change to another emperor, you must choose the elixir yourself, but in today's world, it's really hard to say."

In Chengtian Mansion, in the study room of the imperial palace, only Emperor Dayong and Zhang Liangxi are here at the moment, the emperor who has always been calm in front of his courtiers is hardly exhausted at the moment.

The intense discussion among the ministers in the early morning ended before, and just now, the important ministers of all ministries also finished their discussions and left the imperial study.

The matter of the Lingdong plague had been sent to Chengtian Mansion a few days ago, and in order to reduce the dissatisfaction of the people with the imperial government's collection of medicinal materials, this news was not concealed from the people.

As for the possibility of people hoarding goods, those who can't hoard naturally don't hoard, and those who can hoard even if the government keeps it from them, they can get the news themselves through various parties.

Today, the center of discussion between the monarch and his ministers is naturally Lingdong.

A series of latest news over there has just reached Chengtian Mansion. Before that, there were doubts, but today it is confirmed that the plague in Zhaozhou has broken out in an all-round way.

Some things can be discussed by the officials, and some things can only be said to the confidants.

"Zhaozhou plague. Mr. Yi even went to Zhaozhou city. Sigh."

The emperor said and rubbed his forehead.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Mr. Yi is an auspicious person, and the spies don't dare to stop him when he is going."

Of course the emperor knew this, and having Yi Shuyuan in Zhaozhou would definitely be more beneficial for controlling the plague, but being in the center of the plague was also very dangerous.

"Liangxi, you say that a person who has the talents of all over the world can really cover everything?"

The emperor's words were not only about Yi Shuyuan's medical skills, but also about the "Report to the Sima for Disaster Relief", the original manuscript of which is already on the imperial case.

The word surprised the emperor, but the content on it was a bit horrifying. If this article is not bad, there may be a severe drought in the east of Lingdong in the next few years.

Here, even Zhang Liangxi didn't dare to answer casually, but the emperor didn't want him to answer, so he continued talking on his own.

"Mr. Yi wrote an article to discuss with others, and he will know Li Qian only after he has confirmed it. It seems that this young man named Chu Hang is not easy!"

People like Yi Shuyuan actually contacted the disaster relief Sima first on this matter, instead of talking directly to Li Qian, which shows that this person's talent in this area is recognized.

And Li Qian's appointment of Chu Hang as the disaster relief Sima in Lingdong is also his recognition, and he has been mentioned several times in the previous memorial.

"In the previous rounds of Jinshi, there was no such name. The imperial examinations are not enough, and there are still many talents buried! What about Zhaozhou City?"

"Your Majesty, there is a secret report!"

The voice of the eunuch came from outside the imperial study, Zhang Liangxi immediately walked outside quickly, and when he came back, he already had an extra scroll in his hand, after he unwrapped it carefully, he handed the silk script inside to the emperor.

Upon seeing this document, the anxiety on the emperor's face eased a lot.

The secret report was not discovered by the spies themselves, but was sent by Tan Yuanshang. At that time, he had already raised a large amount of medicinal materials and food and set off.
-
In Lingdong, on the Datong River, large ships are sailing. These are all river merchant ships, with a big "Tan" written on the sails.

At this moment, the fleet has reached the boundary of Yunzhou.

Tan Yuanshang stood on the bow of the first big ship, surrounded by an elderly steward and an old boatman.

"Master, the water level is wrong!"

"Yeah, why has the waters of the Datong River ahead become so narrow?"

Tan Yuanshang looked into the distance, and suddenly his whole body trembled.

"Stop the boat quickly, starting from the last boat, stop the boat one after another—"

The old boatmen also reacted.

"Flag raised—"

Soon, more than a dozen large ships in the entire fleet lowered their sails from the last one first, and then the speed of the fleet slowly slowed down.

But it seems that it is still a step late. In order to prevent being hit by the rear ship, the speed of the first ship needs to be maintained for a while.

When the speed of the first ship began to slow down, the whole ship suddenly paused.

Tan Yuanshang leaned forward on the railing of the bow, and the mast of the ship shook slightly.

Experienced boaters know what this means.

"Oops, run aground!"

"Get off the boat and see—"

Tan Yuanshang was extremely anxious at the moment, turned his head to look at the fleet behind, and then thumped hard on the guardrail with a "boom".

"oops!"

Once the ship is stranded, it is not only a problem that the ship cannot get out, but also blocks the channel.

"My lord, even if the channel is not blocked, I'm afraid that the river in front of me can't be carried by a big ship. I can only use a small boat to distribute it, or take it by horse and horse."

Tan Yuanshang sighed.

"This place is not far from Dengzhou City, but it is still quite a distance from Zhaozhou. Hurry up and ask for help from Dengzhou and Yunzhou Yamen. I hope they will send more horses and horses, or get some boats over!"

"Yes!"

When the servants went to order someone to send a message, there were already some boatmen on board the ship. Some were watching from the shore, and some swam directly to the bow of the ship and dived to check the bottom of the ship.

Tan Yuanshang looked at the river in the distance, frowning into the word "Chuan".

Lingdong has just experienced a catastrophe. The ships originally in Lingdong were already in the water, and almost none of them survived the flood. Therefore, it is difficult to count on the ships unless they are built now.

In fact, the situation of carriages and horses is similar, and they also undertake important transportation tasks. There must not be much extra available for a while, let alone a long detour, and I don’t know how many times they will go back and forth.

In fact, the imperial court also had grain boats running this river, but that was a month ago, and most of the grain needed in Lingdong now came in by land through other state borders.

In the afternoon, the masters of the Tan family rushed to Dengzhou city first with light work.

After getting the news, Li Qian immediately found Chu Hang, because Chu Hang had been checking the water veins everywhere during this time.

Subsequently, many officials discussed countermeasures in the imperial envoy.
-
In the early morning of the next day, Tan Yuanshang, who had a sleepless night, came to the bow early. He has always been quite sure of everything he does, even if it is a big gamble, he at least has the initiative.

This time, it was only a ship that ran aground, but it made Tan Yuanshang experience the long-lost sorrow, not only because he had guaranteed the ticket to the emperor, but also because the things on these ships were really important.

"Master, someone is coming over there."

Tan Yuanshang, who was sitting on the bow, heard the reputation, and then gradually stood up from the bow, and even took off the cloak on his body.

Some bustling sounds gradually came from the road along the river in the distance, and many figures appeared there. Many of them were carrying ropes, some were carrying tools, there were officials and people, young and old.

The leader was Chu Hang. When he saw the boat ahead, he didn't bother to wipe his sweat and shouted loudly.

"I saw the boat—everyone work harder—"

Because of his understanding of the hydrological environment and the water conditions in various places, Chu Hang understands that although the water level of the Datong River is not good, it is not everywhere shallow. Here is a shallow section, and there is a deep section. The best transportation method is still river transportation.

How to get through shallow water?Naturally use human fiber!

More and more people came, but Tan Yuanshang didn't see many chariots and horses, let alone boats, but he got off the boat immediately and went to the shore to meet the so-called Lingdong Disaster Relief Sima.

A quarter of an hour later, while the rest of the people were still resting, Tan Yuanshang, who was learning about the plan, was shocked.

"What? Use manpower? Do you know how heavy my boat is? And it's more than one boat! Are you crazy to drag it from here to Zhaozhou?"

Tan Yuanshang felt a little ridiculous, his boat was not small.

Chu Hang nodded.

"Of course I know, I also know that a ship full of cargo has a draft of four feet six, and shallow water can also use the buoyancy of water!
And we didn't drag it to Zhaozhou, the whole river is not full of shallow water.

Tow a hundred feet forward, you can get out of this shallow current, then there are more than a dozen miles of deep water, and then dragged for twenty feet, and then there are three miles of deep water, and then dragged for fifty feet, the boat can only travel more than sixty miles."

Chu Hang pointed to the men who were resting and supplemented their physical strength with their own dry food, and then pointed to the distant river. At this moment, there were still people coming.

He said slowly in a low but firm voice.

"Tan Gong, you have to believe that in this catastrophe, people, stability, victory, and heaven!"

Tan Yuanshang looked at the men sitting on the river, one by one discussing how to exert force for a while, talking excitedly about how many lives could be saved with the arrival of so many medicinal materials, but no one said anything depressing!

The thoughts in Tan Yuanshang's mind were also a little shaken.

Chu Hang originally planned to bring hundreds of people here, but as soon as the news spread, more than 1000 Dengzhou men who had fought against floods together came overnight.

Some time later, Tan Yuanshang saw a scene he would never forget.

Ropes connect the Dengzhou men and the big boat behind them. If the ropes are not long enough, they connect.

Those who had experience in working together chanted chant in unison, intending to drag the big ship.

"One, two, three, lead the rope!"

Someone chanted a chant, and everyone repeated it together.

"One, two, three, take the rope and go, hey——"

"One, two, three, save the hometown!"

"One, two, three, save the hometown, hey-"

The rope made a sound of being tightened, and every "tracker" was blushing. Even Chu Hang was working hard together in the team, and everyone worked together to pull the rope together.

One step, two steps, three steps.
The soil under everyone's feet was trampled up, and the huge ship actually started to move slowly.
On the Datong River, as long as there is a place where the water is shallow and difficult to pass, more than 1000 Dengzhou men will become trackers.

But it’s not just the people who help along the way. Some land will appear quietly. They can’t do big things, but it can make the trackers more stable on their feet and the soil quality is more solid!

Some monsters in the water also felt it, and they couldn't do anything big, but they could change the water level and flow in some places, so that people wouldn't be able to drag the boat completely.

Although the boatman on the ship had to raise the sails and control the ship, he was deeply shocked!

More than a dozen large ships entered the shallow water area again and again, and were able to re-enter the deep water area again and again. They simply resisted with their flesh and blood!
