Under the guidance of Shangguan Yi, we entered the Hubu Yamen.
People in the household department are very busy.
On the road, you can see people holding a lot of books everywhere and walking in a hurry.
Shangguan Yi said: "Now is the important period of spring plowing, and it is also one of the busiest times of the year for the Ministry of Revenue."
"We have to count the area of fields cultivated by the people and help them solve the problem of growing grain. We are very busy."
Qin Wenyuan said: "Food is the first priority for the people, and food is the top priority of a country. Thank you for your hard work, Sir Shangguan."
Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "Each of our institutions has its own value, it's just a different division of labor. It's nothing hard."
Qin Wenyuan gave a thumbs up: "Sir Shangguan has a high level of consciousness."
"Hahaha."
Shangguan Yi laughed a few times.
While the two were talking, they arrived at Shangguan Yi's office.
Shangguan Yi ordered someone to prepare tea, then looked at Qin Wenyuan and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Qin needs my help, but Mr. Qin said that as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Qin Wenyuan was also not polite to Shangguan Yi.
He said directly: "I have a map here that I don't know where. I would like to ask Lord Shangguan to help me find out where the map points to."
"Oh? Map?"
Shangguan Yi asked: "What kind of map?"
Qin Wenyuan handed the map he drew to Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi took the map, looked at it carefully, and immediately couldn't help but said: "This map is very clear, and the topography is clear and orderly. Mr. Qin, who drew this? This map looks better than the map of our Ministry of Revenue.
The standards must be clear.”
Qin Wenyuan said: "I drew this, but I also imitated it."
When Shangguan Yi heard this, he was smart and understood that there was a secret behind the map, and Qin Wenyuan didn't want to tell this secret.
Shangguan Yi has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows very well what things should be asked and what things should not be asked.
He smiled and said, "Let me take a closer look first."
As he spoke, he looked at the map carefully.
While watching,
He said: "On this map, there are mountains, trees, and water, but there are no people, no cities, and no villages. It looks like it should be a mountainous area."
"Our Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and many mountainous areas."
"However, the trees on this mountain are not the lush forests in the south. They are mainly low and not as prosperous."
"And this is enough to prove that it is not a mountain forest in the south."
"On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the mountains and forests near Chang'an."
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed, he looked at Shangguan Yi and asked: "Sir Shangguan, do you think this is a certain mountain near Chang'an?"
Shangguan Yi said: "I just have a rough guess based on the characteristics shown on this map, but I am not sure whether it is specific."
"After all, there are many mountains near Chang'an. From Chang'an to Taiyuan County, there are all similar mountains, so I still need to screen and judge."
Qin Wenyuan asked: "Will it take a long time?"
Shangguan Yi shook his head: "It just so happens that the person in charge of the survey is at the Yamen now. With their help, it shouldn't take long."
With that said, he shouted directly outside: "Here comes someone."
Soon, a government servant walked in: "Sir."
Shangguan Yi said: "Call Master Zhang, Master Li and others, and also send us a map of the mountainous area with a radius of thousands of miles near Chang'an."
"yes."
Shangguan Yi looked at Qin Wenyuan and said: "Let's start the investigation within a thousand miles. If we can find it, we can find it. If we can't find it, we can expand the scope."
Qin Wenyuan understood what Shangguan Yi meant.
There are too many mountains in Datang, and the territory is too vast. It's like looking for clues, you can only do it bit by bit.
Good luck.
You can find the right direction from the beginning.
If you're not lucky, you'll really have to fight for your time.
Soon, five officials walked in, and at the same time ten government officials came over carrying thick files.
When Qin Wenyuan saw these files, he was surprised: "Are there so many?"
Shangguan Yi said: "Chang'an is located in a mountainous place, and our Ministry of Household Statistics must include mountains, big and small, and we must be proactive and meticulous, so there are naturally a lot of files."
Qin Wenyuan said: "There are so many files, how long will it take to find them?"
Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "If there were not these five masters, it might take two or three days, but with them, it might not be possible."
As he spoke, he looked at these five people and said: "Most of the maps here were drawn by you or personally participated in it. Mr. Qin has a incomplete map in his hands. He needs to know where the map specifically points.
land."
"So, it's up to you to do the hard work next. Take a look and see if you can find where the map points to, exactly where it is."
Qin Wenyuan bowed his hands to them and said: "Thank you for your hard work. No matter whether you can find it or not, I owe you a favor."
When these five people heard this, they quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Master Qin, please don't say that. Who knows that Mr. Qin is famous in the modern Qingtian? We all admire Mr. Qin very much. It is our honor that Mr. Qin in the modern world needs us. We
I will do my best to help Mr. Qin."
Qin Wenyuan smiled: "I won't say anything unnecessary. When you find it, I will personally invite you to drink. We will not return until we are drunk."
"Hahaha, we won't refuse this!"
The five people smiled heartily, and without further delay, they quickly began to compare.
And Qin Wenyuan did not leave either.
He had a hunch that according to Beidou Empress's situation at that time, she might not be able to go very far.
Therefore, the place pointed by the map may be near Chang'an, as Shang Guanyi said.
The five surveyors from the Ministry of Household Affairs quickly looked through the files and maps and began comparisons.
Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, sat quietly aside and did not disturb the five people.
Because Shangguan Yi was busy with official duties, he could not accompany him all the time, so Qin Wenyuan asked Shangguan Yi to go and take care of his official duties.
In early spring, the household department is almost crazy busy, so there is no need for Shangguan Yi to waste time here.
Just like that, the sound of turning books filled the room.
Qin Wenyuan sat in front of the window, looking out the window at the blue sky and white clouds.
He is clearing his mind.
Let your brain, which is filled with countless explosive information, clear some of it.
Manually delete useless things.
Then summarize the useful information into categories.
Qin Wenyuan's brain is like a computer with high computing and high storage space. As long as he is willing, he will not even lose to the computer in terms of speed in a short period of time.
But he is a human being after all, not a cold machine.
There were too many clues and information obtained during this period, and it was too complicated.
Moreover, these information and clues are closely related to himself.
If you don't pay attention, it's easy for him to get mixed up with subjective thoughts.
Therefore, he must relax himself at regular intervals, and then allow himself to sort out the clues and information collected during this period in an absolutely rational state without personal emotions.
Qin Wenyuan slowly closed his eyes.
He was thinking about a series of things he experienced after returning to Chang'an.
According to his original speed, he shouldn't have returned to Chang'an at this time. It would have been at least three or four days later.
But because of Bai Yanguan's trouble, he came back early.
So, will this be beyond the expectations of those hiding in the dark?
Originally, Qin Wenyuan believed that what happened to Bai Yanguan was because Beichen did it to take revenge on himself.
But after finding out the truth about the eucalyptus, he knew that the eucalyptus was the follow-up to the salary eucalyptus given by Li Yuanchang, the king of Han Dynasty ten years ago.
This has nothing to do with Beichen and Beidou Society.
So, does this mean that he will come back early, which is actually beyond Beichen's expectations?
So, by arriving in Chang'an early, will it disrupt some people's pace?
For example, if I went to my old house, was it too early?
So if you find the key yourself, is it too early?
Can these advances create any value for ourselves?
Qin Wenyuan thought carefully in his heart.
"found it!"
At this moment, a voice of surprise suddenly rang out.
Brush it up!
Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly opened.
Those dark, penetrating eyes were deep and profound.
He turned around and looked directly.
I saw someone getting up. He quickly came to Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master Qin, we found it!"
When Qin Wenyuan heard this, he stood up directly.
He hurriedly asked: "Where?"
I saw this man holding two maps in his hand.
One was given to him by Qin Wenyuan.
The other one is from the Ministry of Finance.
He spread the huge map among them on the table.
Then he said: "Master Qin, please take a look."
Qin Wenyuan walked quickly.
He saw the place on the Hubu map that everyone was pointing to, and then he put Qin Wenyuan's map aside and said, "Sir, please see, are the details of these two maps exactly the same?"
Qin Wenyuan looked around.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Sure enough, the two maps are consistent in terms of the trends of the mountains and the streamlines of the water.
You can be sure that this is where the map is!
"Where?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
The man looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "It's very close to Chang'an, and Mr. Qin has also been there!"
"I've been there too?"
"Cuihua Mountain!" he said.
"The place this map points to is Cuihua Mountain!"
"Cuihua Mountain!"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes opened slightly.
Of course he knows where Cuihua Mountain is.
Because after he became Lord Qin of the Tang Dynasty, he had several big events, all of which were held in Cuihua Mountain!
A big eucalyptus is a eucalyptus of money lost!
Cheng Yaojin returned from delivering wages, but was robbed by the overlord of Western Chu. It was he who was responsible for this crime.
And Cuihua Mountain is the first place where eucalyptus grows!
After that, he found out many people and found out Hou Junji's conspiracy!
And there, he also found a dilapidated Taoist temple, which was built by Tianji, and found a secret room there.
It was also because of that secret room that Tianji and Li Xiao came to the surface.
And precisely because of the existence of Dawn, Qin Wenyuan found out about the Beidou Society, and finally found out about the Beidou Society!
It can be said that Cuihua Mountain is where everything began!
He didn't expect that the place where his mother left him a gift happened to be at Cuihua Mountain!
So, is this a coincidence?
Or is there some inevitable connection?
Qin Wenyuan was deeply impressed by Cuihua Mountain.
So when he heard the name of Cuihua Mountain at this moment, his brain was out of control, with countless thoughts and guesses.
But soon, he suppressed these thoughts and speculations.
After all, he doesn't have any evidence or clues now.
All speculations are too subjective.
And this kind of subjective guess is untenable.
Instead, it's easy to tip it in the wrong direction.
Therefore, Qin Wenyuan must not think wildly.
Divergent thinking is not the time to diverge now.
He took another careful look at the two maps.
And the details were carefully compared.
Qin Wenyuan discovered that the two maps were not completely consistent in some places.
After all, these are two people who drew it based on their own customary survey.
Naturally there will be some differences.
But in the key details, they are completely the same.
Mountain and river trends.
Flow direction.
Even the orientation of the trees.
And these are enough to prove that these two maps are the same place.
Qin Wenyuan said: "I have been to Cuihua Mountain many times, but why have I never seen this terrain?"
Qin Wenyuan has a photographic memory.
If he had seen this terrain before, he would have recognized it the moment he saw the map.
But Qin Wenyuan had no memory of this terrain.
The man smiled and said: "Master Qin has been to Cuihua Mountain, and you just came to break the eucalyptus, right?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
The man continued: "For ordinary people, it is difficult to compare the trends of mountains and rivers with the contents on the map."
“For non-professionals, it’s hard to see the key.”
"Moreover, Cuihua Mountain is very big. The place here on the map is located in the back mountain of Cuihua Mountain, about ten miles away, halfway up the mountain."
"There are usually few people there, and occasionally there are some wild animals, so there are even fewer people there. Mr. Qin may not have visited the entire Cuihua Mountain, right?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
"You are right. I have checked several times, and they were always near the top of the mountain, and always in front. I have never been to the back mountain."
The man smiled and said, "That's it. Master uu Kanshu has never been there, so naturally he doesn't recognize him."
"And Mr. Qin is the only one who knows everything. If it were someone else, even if he had been there, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize it."
"Unless you live there all year round, it is difficult for outsiders to completely remember its complex topography after visiting it a few times."
Qin Wenyuan nodded in agreement.
Industry specializing in surgery.
Although he has a photographic memory, when walking in the mountains and forests, his line of sight is blocked, and the places he can see are the areas he has walked through.
If he were suddenly given a map looking down from above, he might not be able to recognize it at a glance.
As the poem says - I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain.

Qin Wenyuan cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your help. When are you free? I would like to ask you to have a good drink. We will not return until we are drunk."
Everyone in the household department stood up quickly.
