When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 377 Inspection of Changping ([-])

After the big festival is over, it feels like the beginning of spring soon.

Xinqu had been hanging out with his two women for more than ten days. Just when he felt that his body was about to be drained, he heard a report from the direction of Suzaku Camp.

"what happened?"

Meng Kuan, who came to find Xin Qu with Luan Zhi in her arms, saw Xin Qu's frown.

I haven't seen him look like this for a long time.

Xinqu sighed, put down the bamboo slips and said, "The Zhuque camp came to report that Quluo Lake has thawed and there are signs of spring. Moreover, the tidal area of ​​the lake is one-third smaller than last year."

"Is this...is there a problem?"

"The problem is not small. This is the precursor of the spring drought." Xinqu pondered, "The water source of Quluo Lake comes from the Beiwuding River. The river there has been dredged for a year and a half. According to the construction period, the Beiwuding River is now If the thaw begins, more water should flow into Quluo Lake.

As a result, not only did the water not come in, but even less water came in. This can only be a possibility, that is, there is no rain in the water source of Wuding River.

Of course, it may also be because it is too cold in the mountains and the snow has not yet begun to melt in the mountains. Instead, the temperature below the mountains heats up first, which causes the snow to melt earlier and spring begins earlier.

But no matter which one it is, the scene shown is a precursor to spring drought.

And with the premature thawing, it may cause the fruits to start turning green and sprouting in advance. "

Xinqu pondered for a moment: "I have to go out for inspection. If it is really confirmed that there may be a spring drought, I have to reserve some snow water in advance while there is still ice and snow."

"Is that so? Then go and get busy. Farming is the most important thing."

Meng Kuang didn't object. Early thaw would indeed affect the survival of plants.

This is the problem faced by mainly farming tribes.

Without saying a word, Xin Qu drove out of Youxin with his convoy, [-] armored soldiers, and [-] disciples in the afternoon.

Along the way, flags, gongs, drums, and plaques were lined up for three miles, which was extremely shocking to see.

Xinqu's tour was not in vain. While making a big fanfare, he was also demonstrating his strength and suppressing any possible rebellion.

His first stop was Zeshi.

The reason why we chose this place is that it is an important part of the Xinshui water system (Guangou) and an important node that directly affects the cultivated land in the southwest of Changping.

At the same time, due to artificial adjustments, Baiyanggou and Baihugou, where Zeshi Town is located, and finally Quluo Lake merged into Zhuqueying.

Therefore, the water level of Quluo Lake receded by one-third, and there was probably a problem on Ze's side, so he drove over.

As soon as he arrived at Zeshi, Xin Qu frowned slightly.

It's strange that Ze's city has not changed in the past three years? !

Three years ago, he planned a piece of land and built a simple shack, then gave it to the Ze family to live in.

As a result, three years have passed, and Ze has not made any changes on his own?
Is it frugality?Still can't change it?

Logically speaking, after living on a piece of land for three years, the environment will also change with human behavior and customs. Why is it still the same now as it was three years ago?
Could it be that he migrated to the mountainside?
Not so much.

Xinqu ordered the convoy to move forward and soon arrived in the city.

"What about people?"

Qingyan, who was on guard, walked to the city.

empty?

"This... smells so bad——"

Qingyan covered his nose, afraid to speak or breathe. He kicked open a door and could see that the houses in the city were full of fermented feces.

Escape quickly. "Clan leader, it's all compost, and no one from the Ze family is here. It stinks!"

As Qingyan talked, he felt a taste in his throat and ran to the side to retching.

Xin Qu frowned and looked at Ze's family.

Compost directly in the city?What do you want to do?Next spring, are you not afraid of pollution?
Xin Qu turned around and said, "Go and find out where Mr. Ze has gone."

Soon, everyone rushed to look for it.

In the afternoon, news came from Baiyanggou in the northwest at the mountain pass, and it was discovered that the Ze family had migrated there.

Zeshi built a new city at Baiyang Pass, which was quite large and could accommodate more than 500 people.

Xinqu didn't say anything, and led everyone over, and soon arrived at Baiyang Mountain Pass.

Most of the forests here have been cut down and burned.

There are only a few burning charcoal forests left, and two forest areas in the northwest and southeast of the city.

There are rivers and ditches passing through these two forest areas. It seems that they were deliberately left as firewood forests.

Surrounded by the forest area is a lake, and around the lake is the city of Zeze.

The Ze clan did not have a city made of rammed earth. Instead, they followed the example of the courtyard built by the Xin clan for Zixun, and built a set of three-entry courtyards, surrounded by small courtyards for elders, livestock sheds, and wooden arrow towers.

Most of the Ze clan's population lives in the Sijin compound.

Slaves also lived in the corners of the Sijin compound, becoming a zone of isolation between the elders and the compound.

It can be seen that the Ze family still lives according to their old customs.

"Go and ask them to come out." Xinqu said to Qingyan.

……

At the same time, in the Ze family's compound, Zhou Si was complaining to Ze Yu: "What does his ice armor mean? Why don't you want the surname Si! He actually chose to take the surname."

"The surname is not bad at all." Zeyu looked at it openly, and even said a little enviously, "With the surname, it will be the small sect of Chief Xinqu. In the future, the town will be divided into one place, just like Ning Shiwu and Father Lu. , all have their own villages, towns, etc., how nice."

"Can this be the same? Isn't this betraying our ancestors and forgetting our identity? Our surname Si comes from the Youshen family, and we share the same ancestry with Queen Xia."

"Okay, okay, I also know that the surname Si is great. But the reality now is that the surname is more in line with the status of the Xin family. Look at so many children who have changed their surnames. When these children grow up, the surname There can be more room for development, right?"

"This is different!" Zhou Si gritted her teeth, "Am I angry that it was so easy for him to change his surname? He actually changed his surname for a woman named Ji! She is still a woman who is tired of being played with!"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Zeyu sighed, "Clan Xinqu has great contempt for Yehe. There are only two women he has personally acknowledged, and they have their own identities. Although Qingji was rescued by Clan Xinqu, she You are clean and honest, if you talk nonsense, be careful if someone with serious intentions listens to you and cause trouble in the whole city."

"I...Whose side are you on?" Zhou Si was furious.

"Of course I am on your side. But this time the person who sent the letter is not Bing Jia, but the elders of the sisters of the Changxin clan, Si Kui, Si Gizzard, and Si Yu. Together, these three have four thousand voices. Yu, someone is here to persuade you to agree. In Changping City, the Si surname has almost become a marginal tribe. If Bing Jia marries Qing Ji, and Si and Ji marry, they will be able to contact other tribes in the Shanxi direction in the future. It will be helpful for strengthening everyone. If the Xin family has the right to speak within the family and has a better future, you have to agree to it."

"I..." Zhou Si certainly knew what kind of pressure she was facing now.

But it's just annoying!
Very upset!

The girl she looked down on now revealed some thoughts of getting married, which immediately attracted the hearts of the elders in Changping.

The job in the textile factory is a very valuable job. More importantly, Qing Ji's niece Xue Ji serves as the servant chief next to Xin Qu. What is this?
This is a direct link to Tianting, and no one will choose to give up.

Just when Zhou Si and Zeyu were in embarrassment, a few soldiers hurriedly ran out: "Clan Chief! Patriarch! There is a convoy of Xin's family coming outside! It seems that Chief Xin Qu is here!"

"What? Go and greet him right now." Zeyu stood up quickly.

Zhou Si was also stunned, and then her expression became even more ugly: "How much does that woman hate to marry! She actually invited Xin Qu here! I want to see what Xin Qu wants to say!"
