My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 347 Underground Fire

Many times, Lu Shiyan was obviously paving the way for Jiang Tangtang to ascend the throne in the future.

Lin Jingyue couldn't recover for a long time, and murmured: "How could..."

He wanted to say that Jiang Tangtang was a woman after all. Even if she was a disciple of an immortal, she was still a woman after all.How to make her emperor?
Also, Lu Shiyan helped conquer the world, but in the end he surrendered the world to others. Is he really willing to do so?

Zhuang Zilin was not surprised by his old friend's shock.To be honest, when veterans like them first knew Lu Shiyan's thoughts, their performance was not much better than his performance.

But the longer I stayed in Lingnan, the more convinced I became of Jiang Tangtang.

Now I feel that it is natural for Jiang Tangtang to become emperor.

Seeing that his old friend looked like he had never seen the world, Zhuang Zilin patted his shoulder and said, "You'll understand in time."

The next day, when Lin Jingyue met Jiang Tangtang, she was a little nervous and curious.

What kind of woman can make all the defecting ministers in the capital unanimously praise her as an empress?

He originally thought that he would see a very majestic person.

Even give him a showdown.

But Jiang Tangtang treated him very gently, which Lin Jingyue never expected.I couldn't help but wonder, how could a woman like this suppress the ministers below?

Although she was full of doubts, Lin Jingyue had been a minister in Dazhou for many years.

He is also very calm.

He suppressed his doubts and began his new duties for the day.

He has just arrived, and Jiang Tangtang will not arrange any important work for him. He mainly needs to understand the household registration system in Lingnan.

He was startled by this contact.

How could anyone come up with such a perfect system?

In the days that followed, Lin Jingyue was basically in a state of shock and sigh.

A large number of officials from the capital fled to Bohai County with soldiers, which put Bohai County under unprecedented pressure in all aspects and also entered a period of rapid development.

Bohae County changes almost every day, with new houses, wide streets, newly planted cacti in the fields...

Let this city, which had just experienced war and was swept by drought and locust plagues, become lifeless and desolate, slowly come back to life.

The defection of these officials also added a lot of fresh blood to the leadership of Lingnan and Bohai counties.

These officials who were selected by Lu Shiyan and sent to Lingnan were all, like Lin Jingyue, very shocked by Lingnan. They were puzzled or questioned about many of Lingnan's systems, but in the end, they all turned into admiration and worship.

On the other side, Xiao Ye's health finally improved after careful care by the imperial physician.

As soon as he recovered, Xiao Ye announced that he would lead troops to conquer the country himself.

The ministers and princes who stayed in the capital almost all thought he was crazy.

Several veterans who were loyal to Zhou Dynasty tried their best to persuade the emperor not to take risks.

But Xiao Ye had made up his mind and refused to listen to the advice. He insisted on leading his troops and marched out of the capital in a mighty manner.

*
Jiang Tangtang traveled a lot between Lingnan and Bohai counties during this period.

She originally just took a fancy to the tidal flats near the sea in Bohai County, thinking that she could plant more sea rice to alleviate the food crisis caused by drought.

As for other developments, she is not in a hurry.

But he didn't expect that a large number of officials from the capital would defect and bring soldiers and people to Bohai County, forcing Bohai County to move forward.

Not only that, when Lu Shiyan came back riding Gugu, he actually told her about a strange phenomenon.

Lu Shiyan said that when some people were planting cacti, they accidentally discovered a natural mountain fire underground.The common people were frightened and said they had encountered something unclean.

No one dares to go to that cactus field anymore.

He went to see it in person and found that the mountain fire was natural without firewood, as if there was something underground.

Jiang Tangtang's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that natural gas was discovered?"

"You mean the gas-like thing under the stove in your kitchen?"

Lu Shiyan has always been very curious about the kitchen of the small villa, and he also knows something about natural gas.

But most of his understanding of natural gas comes from books and Jiang Tangtang’s explanations.But I only have some superficial understanding, and my understanding is not deep.

"Yes." Jiang Tangtang was excited and couldn't help but wonder how to use natural gas if it was discovered.

If it is really natural gas, then the workshops that extract fresh water will no longer have to make great efforts to cut firewood in the mountains.

It can not only improve efficiency, but also reduce waste of manpower and energy, and reduce environmental pollution.

All in all, there are many benefits.

She couldn't sit still and immediately wanted to go and confirm, "Let's go and see if it's natural gas first."

"Wait until tomorrow." Lu Shiyan said helplessly, "That wasteland is not safe at night."

Jiang Tangtang glanced at him, "What's so unsafe? Do you believe in some ghost story?"

Lu Shiyan raised his hand to pull the person over, held him in his arms and kissed her, his voice hoarse and low: "I miss you."

Jiang Tangtang was so weak from his kiss that she had to hug his neck to support her body, which was as soft as water.

She was a little annoyed, but that night, she finally failed to rush to Bohai County overnight.After dawn the next day, the two went to Bohai County.

The underground fire was discovered at the foot of Boshan Mountain. Some people accidentally discovered that the land here was relatively moist, so they came here to plant cacti, thinking that they would survive better.

When Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan came over, several frightened common people had been relocated to other places, and the place where the fire was dug was guarded by a few soldiers.

When Jiang Tangtang arrived in Boshan, he discovered that the vegetation here grew better than other places.

Due to the two-year drought, many mountains have been dried to death.

But not only has no vegetation been dried to death in Boshan, but the rare thing is that the grass here grows more tender than elsewhere.

Jiang Tangtang suspected that there was underground water here.

But this time she came for the underground fire. She temporarily put aside her doubts and went to see the underground fire.

She confirmed that the underground fire discovered by the common people was indeed natural gas.

And she was right in guessing that there was indeed underground water here.

What's even better is that the groundwater here is warm when dug out.If developed, hot springs can be developed.

However, given the current severe water shortage across the country, she has no idea of ​​developing hot springs for the time being.

It is mainly used as a drinking water resource.

She put aside the matter of natural gas extraction for the time being and focused all her energy on digging wells and delivering water.

Recently, a large number of officials in the capital have defected with their soldiers and traveled to Bohai County. Now the number of soldiers in Bohai County has more than doubled than before.

With so many people, not only food consumption increases.Water also became a big problem.

If properly utilized, the water source here can solve the current severe water shortage in Bohae County.
