Chapter 267 Salt Field

At this time, it is summer, and it is hot.

At noon, the scorching sun hit the head, and the extremely hot sunlight poured down from the sky, causing the whole land to be in a state of transpiration. The trees on both sides of the avenue were all withered branches and leaves, and looked sluggish.

Through the canopy, the sunlight is divided into countless fragments and projected on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

Several figures walked past with a smile under the canopy. They were carrying hoes, baskets, and baskets. They were a group of farmers who had just returned from working in the fields. They were probably in a good mood because the crops were growing gratifyingly.

They are all from Li Family Village, and now they are going back to eat.

Yan Zhan and Guan Qingxuan watched them pass in front of them, the former looked at the latter suspiciously, only to see him nodding slightly with a smile: "Since ancient times, people have worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and have two meals a day.

But look at the people in Licheng, who work at sunrise, rest when the sun is scorching, rest at sunset, eat three meals a day, and are much stronger than the people outside Licheng. "

"Yes," Yan Zhan nodded, "The people live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing. This is enough to show that Mr. Lu's decision is not wrong."

"Yeah." Guan Qingxuan Nianxu nodded, followed the farmers and common people, and pointed to the small village not far away that was crossed by a river, "Look over there."

Yan Zhan looked up, and saw that the other side of the river was full of skinny children, wearing patched clothes and bamboo tubes filled with water around their waists, all of them were looking at the Lijia Village on the other side of the river, where the smoke was everywhere, and pulling their pants uncomfortably.

In stark contrast to them are the children on the other side of the river, all of whom have ruddy complexions and are white and fat.Although the clothes on his body are a bit old, there is not even a single patch.

And they were holding bright red apples in their hands, which made the children on the other side envious.

The apples are produced in the east of Licheng, and the quantity is extremely large. Several mountains are planted with apples, so they are sold cheaply, and they are the only fruit that ordinary people are willing to eat with their pockets anytime, anywhere.

So it's not surprising that the children took it.

Just looking at the children on the other side of the river, Yan Zhan frowned: "Teacher, it's only across the river, why is there such a big difference?"

"This is the intersection of Licheng and Jinmen Pass, the river is the dividing line, the opposite is the jurisdiction of General Chu, and this is the jurisdiction of Lord Lu.

Zhan'er, tell me, should Mr. Lu take care of it or not? "

"This..." Yan Zhan's face suddenly changed. Daxia's most taboo is jian yue. If, as he imagined, Lu Cheng is in charge of the village across the river...

hiss……

He was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly bowed to Guan Qingxuan: "It's Zhan who didn't think well."

Guan Qingxuan smiled and waved his hands: "Zhan'er, the way to govern the world is like cooking small fish, not to mention it involves a lot, so don't be in a hurry. City Lord Lu has a deep heart and loves the people like a son. Just follow and learn."

"Yes, I will keep it in my heart."

Guan Qingxuan nodded and walked slowly, his eyes lingering on the crops in the field: "I didn't expect that Master Lu could understand the things in the field so well. Look at the growth of these rice, it is heavy, and the harvest in the future will not be less than a hundred loads."

"Yes, there are also potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and many others that I have never heard of before, and I don't know how Master Lu got them. So much so that Licheng is rich in species, which I have only seen in my life." Yan Zhan nodded in response.

Take another look at the houses made of thatch and loess on the other side of the river, and then look at the blue brick and tile houses on the other side of the river.

It was really hard for him to imagine, in an environment where seven out of ten private houses in the entire Great Xia are built of thatch and loess, how did the Lord Lu manage to live in green brick and tile houses in the entire Li City?

"The reason why Licheng has developed so well is inseparably related to City Lord Lu's hard work." Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, Guan Qingxuan said slowly:

"Look at the waterwheels above the fields, the canals and ravines, the sewers under Licheng, the completed wharf on the banks of the Kanjiang River, and the Kanjiang Bridge under construction, which ones are not closely related to people's livelihood.

I also watched the children's school yesterday, but I didn't understand any of the biochemistry.But when you think about it carefully, it also implies the truth of heaven and earth, which is really weird.

Especially the multiplication formula is the key to arithmetic. It used to take an hour or more to calculate the result. After using this multiplication formula, the result can be obtained in just a few breaths.

The old man admires that City Lord Lu can come up with such an arithmetic method, but it's a pity that he is actually a daughter. "

Daughter body?
Yan Zhan pursed his lips slightly, without saying a word, just looking at the sparkling lake, his thoughts drifted away.

The sun is getting stronger, the sky above the forest is densely covered with intertwined branches, it is difficult for the sun to hit the ground, and the rare sun that misses is like a brightly colored insect crawling on the moss and reddish withered moss.

Shashasha~
The sound of the soles of shoes stepping on the dead leaves sounded, and the vegetation trembled. A group of tall barbarians came out from behind the dense trees, and behind them were several extremely short people.

"It's hot in here."

"Still wet!"

Fear and Qianbai spoke in tandem, and cut off the unsightly branches with an axe.

The surrounding leaves were still covered with moss, and the accumulated water left by the rain dripped drop by drop from the tip of the leaf and onto the ground, which made it very slippery when they walked up and stained their shoes with mud, so they sped up again, trying to get rid of the shackles here.

The tall green savage in front turned his head and glanced at the two of them, two streams of white mist spewed out of his nose, as if disdainful, and then turned his head back.

He obviously didn't speak, but Fear narrowed his eyes: "Big Bear, you're scolding me!"

The savage who had just looked at them turned his head, glanced at them, and then withdrew his gaze. Heh, with such a small size, he was afraid that he would accidentally trample them to death, so he didn't bother to talk to him.

"Hiss~ third child, he really despises you." Qian Bai was excited, and poked Hori's elbow, maybe there would be a fight.

Fear glared at him: "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

Qianbai choked, smiled, and walked forward sullenly: "If it wasn't for finding some salt fields for the young master, I would have killed you, a rascal."

I was so angry that my heart throbbed with fear, and I wanted to curse, but before I could speak, Jiaoyu patted on the shoulder, "Okay, let's follow their high priest. I can't understand their words, so I can communicate with the high priest."

Hearing this, Fear endured his violent temper and followed Jiaoyu's pace.

As he walked, he suddenly sniffed: "Jiaoyu, do you smell it? It's very salty."

"Yeah." Jiaoyu nodded, raised her hand to wipe the leaves beside her, her hand was immediately covered with many particles, she licked it, her eyes lit up immediately: "It's salt!!!"

"Jiaoyu, Hori, look quickly, there is a big salt field ahead!!!"
