Villager of Daming

Chapter 959 Ice Cave and Volcano as Close Neighbors

It doesn't look like it's raining yet. The people are very happy. It's easy to dry the millet.

The unhappy people are those in Loufan Town. They grow wheat and can only find ways to divert water to the hilly terraces.

People who harvest wheat and then plant other crops have similar thoughts to those in Loufan Town.

The people of the Ninghua Inspection Department waved goodbye to the military households. Someone shouted loudly: After the crops are planted this year, there will be time to work hard to build roads. Please rest assured, Your Highness, you are not afraid of extra work. Once the roads are built, it will be easier to buy and sell things.

Zhu Fan also responded at the top of his lungs, promising to mobilize more tools to help everyone make money, achieve food and clothing together, and then become well-off...

"Okay! Let's go! Stop, come back! Wait, later, ah! Hehehehehe..."

Zhu Wentian shouted the same, and waved his hand when he shouted to leave. Some people wanted to follow, so he had to stop and let the team go, without asking other unrelated people to form a group.

He was in a good mood, and each prince asked him to change the trajectory of his life. He was so close to the people that it was abnormal.

"Yes, wait for later, Marquis of Yan'an and Tang Qianhu, let's go together! I didn't ask you two to go back, so we went to Ningwuguan to have a look."

Xi'an is located, with the Qinling Mountains as its territory, but it still cannot stop the rebel army.

This road is generally inaccessible, and it is particularly difficult to walk. It is full of mountains, uninhabited, and has cliffs one after another, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Is there any?" The four princes looked at the chief at the same time, not believing Tang Zongsheng.

"Can we get there in one day?" Zhu Xi was sitting on the boat. There was still some waterway to walk until he reached Guanlui Mountain, which is the source of Fenshui River and Sangqian River.

Thinking about this situation, Zhu Wentian showed a confused smile and frowned slightly: "Try harder! The land route is too difficult."

What the village chief learned the night before yesterday was put to use now: "Yes, the Ningwu Ice Cave will never melt for thousands of years, and the Ningwu Volcano will continue to burn for thousands of years."

Zhu Fan echoed Hanhan and greeted Yan'an Marquis Tang Zongsheng and Qianhu Tangcheng who were standing there.

There is a volcano next to the ice cave, which is always burning and smoking, and never goes out. There is a hill between the two places. "

The others were silent, God knows why, but there was anyway. If the road hadn't been so difficult, someone would have taken the shaved ice out and sold it in the summer.

Everyone looked at him together, you know?

"There is coal under the volcano, not only this time, but also in other places. When the coal burns, sulfur and phosphorus come out and burn.

People passing by always go there to dig some ice in the summer, every year, and hunters even use the ice cave as a place to preserve their prey.

The journey is difficult! If you bring ice out and it all melts on the way, the key is that everyone is poor. If you bring a bowl of ice somewhere, no one will buy it.

Ningwuguan is backed by Guanlui Mountain and in front is Yunzhong Mountain. However, the pass city has not yet been built. It is an important location. Like Shanhaiguan, the Ming Great Wall has not yet been built here.

"For what?" Zhu Zhu, the fifth child, asked naturally.

This time even Qianhu Tangcheng nodded, saying that he was right, but it was strange.

Of course, the Shanhaiguan Pass has not yet been opened as to the situation of people guarding the customs.

Tang Zongsheng, the Marquis of Yan'an, nodded fiercely: "Zhu Lichang is right. If there is no boat, it will take three days and one hundred miles to travel. Your Highnesses, there are caves on the road ahead, three caves with ice that freezes all year round.

"There is actually a reason for this." The village leader knew that someone had taught him.

This side of the mountain is the Fen River, and the east side is the Sanggan River. You need to cross the mountain to reach Ningwuguan.

The two of them followed immediately. Like the government officials and other officials, they needed to walk with the team, get to know His Highness the King of Jin, and work hard to learn knowledge.

When watching, you need to stay away and be in the limelight, otherwise you will be poisoned and cannot be used anyway.

It's okay to use the Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave, uh... don't destroy the rock wall outside.

It is located in a leeward and shady place. In summer, a large amount of hot air is blocked by the mountains. In winter, when cold air comes, more of it will enter the cave. At the same time, there is an underground river below. In summer, the temperature of the well water is low, except for the hot springs.

There is even a possibility that it is connected to the bottom of the volcano over there, and there is another hole in the ground where the volcano is located.

When the volcano burns in the summer and heat rises, another underground hole provides a large amount of cold air.

In winter, the cave is affected by the low temperature and provides less air. The interior of the ice cave is large and there are two entrances at the same time.

Then the entrance of another ice cave provides air to the bottom of the volcano, and the cold air enters the ice cave.

The entrance to the cave where people can enter is where warm wind blows in in summer and cold wind blows in in winter. If you want to understand, just dig deeper and you will understand. "

After listening to what Li Chang said, the four princes felt that it made sense and understood. That was probably it, unless they really went to dig it.

Officials and military attachés were confused. What was it? Why is it connected to groundwater and volcanoes? The hot air goes up, but the cold air has to be moved?

"Have a look? But the ice is very thick, so you have to change people when you start to chisel."

Chito Tangcheng suggested, he looked like I had to figure it out.

"No!" "No!" Li Chang and Zhu Fan said at the same time.

"Listen to Your Highness." "Listen to what's inside." The two of them once again had a tacit understanding.

"Third brother said." Zhu Xi helped adjust.

"Let me tell you, after the digging is completed, there will be no ice, and our fiefdom will lose a good place. We are going to build a farm here!"

Zhu Fan explained the reason. He wanted to use it. Where could he find the ice cave that had been missing for such a long time?

Zhu Ping didn't need to say anything anymore, the Li Chang followed: "Just as His Royal Highness King Jin said, leaving something for future generations is very easy to destroy, just use explosives to blow it up."

"Take a look first when you get to the place, forget it, don't look, it will delay your trip."

Zhu Fan resisted his desire and chose to pass by without taking a look. His time was very tight and he could not drag down the large army.

Anyway, when he becomes the vassal, he can come whenever he wants. How about going to an ice cave to escape the heat in the summer? Running in winter... forget it, it's easy to get poisoned. There will be heating, 24-hour hot water, and facilities for drinking and bathing in Prince Jin's Mansion.

The other three people also chose to give up. They had many tasks this year. After leaving Taiyuan Prefecture, they had to go to Beiping Province, then to Dingliao Duwei, and then back to Nanjing to celebrate the New Year.

"Second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, if you want to come over in the future, we will entertain you. Second brother and fourth brother will be with us. Fifth brother, when you go back, ask the headman to help you change the king.

How about you go to Jinan Prefecture first? Be the King of Lu, or the Qingzhou Prefecture to the east of Jinan Prefecture? Or Laizhou Prefecture further west? The westernmost Dengzhou Prefecture?

It's close to your fourth brother, there is the sea, and we have many boats. It's very easy to get there whenever you want.

We can't go to Henan Prefecture, and we have to cross the Qinling Mountains to get away from my second brother Yuan.

Where is our fourth brother's house? It's above Henan House, no, to the north. If you look at the map a lot, it always goes up north and down south. "

Zhu Fan began to arrange things for his elder brother and younger brother, especially the fifth brother, to change the king.

The chief said: "Baoding Prefecture is closer to Hejian Prefecture than King Lu's residence."

"Chief, let's talk about it later. Don't make a decision yet. I can't just choose a place just to see an ice cave? When we go back and study it carefully, you can tell Father where to change it."

Zhu Rui raised his hands together, "Don't send a telegram, I haven't thought about it!"

Other civil and military officials: "..."

The only thought in their minds was that the king of Wu that His Majesty had decided could be changed at will? Does Zhu Lichang of Xiaqiu Village have the final say?

Well, it depends on your situation...
