Respectfully ask Your Majesty to kill the immortal

Chapter 152 Changes
After settling down in the prefect's mansion, Cheng Renjun murmured to himself, wondering which adult from the capital city, and how come they are all a group of female relatives.

Not to mention, these female dependents are of various shapes and styles, and there are all kinds of them.

The beautiful ones like Shen Zhining and Zhao Lingbo, the ugly ones like Shu Wuyin, and the veiled Gu Jinge seemed to be seriously injured.

Forget it, he doesn't have to guess what these big shots are thinking.

Most of Xu Mochen and others have entered the immortal way, so they don't feel tired. He also asked for the geography, county chronicles and maps of Danzhou in the south.

Seeing that a group of people wanted to discuss things again, Shu Wuyin couldn't sit still and wanted to go shopping.

"Don't run around," Xu Mochen knew her depth, "Most of the people in the city are ordinary people, and it's hard to deal with things."

There are people outside, no matter how busy you are, it is easy to cause trouble.

Shu Wuyin nodded: "I know, I won't be so disrespectful, I just think it feels strange here, I'll go and see if there are any evil spirits."

Hearing that this was the reason, Xu Mochen did not continue to object.

After Shu Wuyin left, Xu Mochen set up a restriction in the room. He spread out the map on the table, while Zhao Lingbo flipped through the geographical annals and county annals.

An Zerui is a local-born immortal cultivator. He introduced: "This is the general picture of Danzhou in the south. The area is not small. Of course, it is incomparable with some big states in Dagan.

The coastal area is not suitable for growing rice due to the invasion of sea water, so most of the agricultural land is in this place. "

Xu Mochen looked at the location he was pointing at, which was a basin.

Danzhou in the south is surrounded by the sea, and there is a large ring-shaped mountain range around it. There is a river there, which runs through the whole state and finally flows into the sea.

The place surrounded by the ring mountains is the basin that Anzerui refers to.

Shen Zhining understood at a glance: "It's similar to a flood plain, so the soil should be very fertile."

"The climate is also good, with plenty of rain," Xu Mochen nodded, "so it's warm like spring all year round, which is suitable for the growth of crops."

"But the prefect just introduced it," An Zerui smiled wryly, "Weichen has been away for more than a hundred years, but he doesn't know what he is like now.

It seems that the local residents have different customs and don't pay much attention to farming.

In addition, it is said that there is sufficient rainwater only in the rainy season. After that season, sometimes there is still a shortage of water. "

Shen Zhining is also a traveler, she has a wealth of knowledge: "It seems that the main reliance is this river."

"This river is called Wanquan River, implying that the water source is very rich," Anzerui continued, "If your Majesty wants to find a place for experiments, you can search along the banks of the river."

Xu Mochen nodded, and Zhao Lingbo on the side closed Geography: "Your Majesty, this book records that the Wanquan River is relatively abundant in rain in spring and summer, but it often dries up in autumn and winter."

"No." An Zerui was a little confused, "When Weichen was here, it was normal all year round."

Xu Mochen frowned. What Zhao Lingbo said should be true. In this way, let alone a good harvest, I'm afraid that ordinary harvests will be difficult.

"Find out what's going on," Xu Mochen thought, "It's impossible for the water source to be cut off suddenly."

"It's also possible that the environment has changed," Shen Zhining raised a different opinion, "At that time, will there be a phenomenon of seawater backwashing?"

Zhao Lingbo nodded, as expected of a talented concubine: "Yes, it is clearly written on it. Every year, the sea water floods back, making many originally fertile fields gradually turn into saline-alkali land."

If this is the case, they have made a trip in vain.

"Is there no way for the local prefect's mansion to manage the river?" Xu Mochen was a little angry. If he didn't do anything, the so-called unique treasure land would be abandoned sooner or later.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Lingbo bit his lower lip, "I just read the county annals together, and found that there are records in it that, during the spring and autumn seasons, sacrifices to mountain gods, river gods, and sea gods are recorded."

Xu Mochen turned around suddenly: "Cultivator?"

"I don't know if it's a folk belief, or there are immortal practitioners involved in it." Zhao Lingbo hesitated, after all, she was the only one in the room who was 100% human. "It's just that the sacrifice is very effective."

An Zerui's expression also became serious: "It seems that in the past hundred years, because of the wars in Middle-earth, great changes have taken place here, no wonder no one from Qiongqing Palace has been seen when the humble officials came.

Your Majesty, I request you to return to the sect immediately. "

Xu Mochen agreed: "Check carefully to see what happened.

Princess, does the county annals record which sacrifices are effective? "

"Effective," said Zhao Lingbo, who is also a talented woman with a photographic memory, "but it seems that the requirements for the sacrificial ceremony are very high, and it cannot be continued every year.

According to the county annals, sacrifices are made about once every three to five years to ensure that the seawater does not flow backwards, that the Wanquan River has sufficient water, and that local farming can be maintained. "

Xu Mochen understood that due to objective conditions, there is actually not much arable land in Danzhou in the south.

If this continues, I am afraid that the entire state's cultivated land will become saline-alkali land, making it impossible to grow crops.

It's just that these are all records, and he still needs to verify it with his own eyes.

He came to the table, looked at the map carefully, and asked for a long time: "Aifei, do you think if a reservoir is built here to regulate the water source...will it be effective?"

Shen Zhining searched for the basic conditions for building a reservoir, and she pointed to a place: "Your Majesty, this place is surrounded by mountains, the Wanquan River passes through the middle, and there is only one exit. It is an excellent place to build a reservoir."

When she said that, everyone gathered around.

Brother and sister Fang Minghang also thought it was feasible.

However, there is no reinforced concrete in this era. If you build a reservoir and rely on manpower...

I am afraid that Danzhou in the south cannot afford labor.

If you use immortal techniques, there is still hope.

Xu Mochen rolled up the map: "This is only a temporary inference for now, and we need to investigate further.

Starting tomorrow, everyone will act separately.

Concubine Ai visited the city together with the princess and Mr. Xie to fully understand their customs.

Mr. Xie can also learn about the situation of medicinal herbs.

Master An, hurry back to Qiongqing Palace and find out what happened.

Fang Minghang, Fang Mingying, go and look for oak trees.

As for me, I went out of the city with Tang Aiqing to investigate in person. "

People take orders.

The meeting ended and everyone returned to their rooms.

Xu Mochen took a breath and sat down, frowning.

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun persuaded, "The situation may not be as bad as imagined. In farming, haste makes waste."

Xu Mochen shook his head: "It's not farming that worries me, but I just feel that if there are immortal cultivators secretly leading behind, it's really unforgivable."

In the world of ten directions, the attitude towards the human race is not to intervene deeply.

Tang Derun sighed: "I am afraid that the world of ten directions pays little attention to this remote area, and there will inevitably be some problems."

Xu Mochen waved his sleeve robe: "Forget it, he is really a cultivator, no matter what his background is, I will definitely get rid of it and then quickly."
