The big trees hugged by two people are like dense euphorbias pointing straight into the sky. In this forest far away from Taiyuanzhou Mansion, not even sunlight can penetrate.
"call!"
Amidst the heavy breathing, a staggering figure with a floating black robe walked towards the depths of the forest. His steps were chaotic and his breath was floating, but his goal was always clear and there must be no confusion.
"boom!"
The light and shadow floated in front of my eyes, and the black shadow suddenly hit a big tree that two people were hugging. Bang! There were sawdust, and a section of the tree that was more than ten feet high was directly smashed into pieces. The dense crown of the tree trembled and fell straight down.
.
"Ahem!"
There was a violent cough, and the black shadow was knocked down by a big tree. He stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and staggered forward again.
Ten feet, one hundred feet, one thousand feet...
Boom! The black shadow fell heavily to the ground. The moment he fell, a dark golden mask with only half of it flew high from his face, and then fell to the ground, making a sonorous sound.
"call!"
Something almost fell in the shadow, the wind howled, and a figure jumped down from a nearby big tree and picked up the dark gold mask on the ground.
The evil prince fell in the dust, and when he saw the slender, boneless white wrist appearing in his field of vision, a smile finally appeared on his lips:
"Finally home."
…
After staying in Langya City for about seven or eight more days and arranging everything, Wang Tai finally left. Yang Ji personally saw him off at the gate of the city.
"Yang Ji, food is the most important thing for the people. I will entrust Langya City to you. Get familiar with it. I'm looking forward to your future performance in Cangxu City."
Before leaving, Wang Tai held Yang Ji's hands, spoke earnestly, and his eyes were full of expectations.
"Don't worry, adults. The students will definitely do their best."
Yang Ji bowed and said.
Wang Tai smiled and didn't say much. After patting Yang Ji's shoulder, he boarded the carriage on the official road. A large group of guards crowded around and headed towards the place where they came from.
Langya County was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. Yang Ji sent Wang Tai away without any hesitation. He turned around and went to Nongsangsi Yamen.
"Sir, this is the Nongsangsi Yamen."
After passing through alleys and alleys, under the leadership of several civil servants, Yang Ji finally found the yamen of Nongsangsi. It was an extremely old building with gray tiles lined up in rows, and it looked like it was about to fade.
The entire yamen is simple, and the only thing that is interesting to look at are a few pillars made of unknown wood under the eaves outside. But these pillars have been exposed to the sun and rain, and they have all cracked.
The whole yamen smelled of staleness.
"Why is the gate of Nongsangsi Yamen still locked?"
Yang Ji stood in front of the Yamen, looked at the two mottled copper buttons, and frowned slightly.
"Sir, there are actually very few people coming to this Nongsangsi Yamen. It has been open for at least five or six years."
Next to him, the official Dao, who was thin, honest-looking and exuded a farmland atmosphere, had a wry smile on his face.
"oh?"
Yang Ji raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that the arts of literature were in decline and inferior to martial arts, he was still a little surprised when he saw this scene:
"Where is the former Nongsang Sicheng? Doesn't he come here too?"
The two officials from the Nongsang Department looked at each other, and the bitterness on their faces became even more bitter:
"Sir, the former Nongsang Sicheng actually died five or six years ago. He had been out inspecting water conservancy for many years, and finally fell ill. Coupled with his old age, he could not hold on and died like this."
"We have also petitioned the court to appoint a new Nongsang Si Cheng. Although the court agreed, it has been five or six years and there has been no one. The Nongsang Si Yamen has always been empty.
.”
The two of them said helplessly.
"Then who is responsible for the farming, mulberry and water conservancy in Langya County in recent years?" Yang Ji asked in surprise.
"It's just the two of us."
The two civil servants admitted frankly, "The new Nongsang Sicheng has not arrived. We can only make do with it. Fortunately, I have always been responsible for Nongsang's affairs, so there has been no major accident."
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. He finally understood why Wang Tai was able to get Nongsang Sicheng's token so easily. The new Nongsang Sicheng had never been in office.
Yang Ji didn't pay much attention to these two civilian officials before. Now that he heard that they had been responsible for the farming in Langya County, he suddenly felt awe in his heart.
Pushing open the door, Yang Ji lifted up his robe, crossed the threshold and walked in. A strong smell of dust hit his nostrils, Yang Ji frowned slightly, and looked around, the yamen was dark, with copywriting on the floor and walls.
Above, everything is covered with a thick layer of dust.
The two civil servants were right. This place has not been open to the outside world for at least five or six years.
It was very quiet in the Yamen. Yang Ji walked over and found that there were densely packed drawings on the wooden strips opposite the door of the hall.
Yang Ji took a look and saw that there were all kinds of drawings about farmland and water conservancy.
"After Mr. Chen passed away, no one has touched this place. He put these drawings here. Some are from the yamen, and some were drawn by himself."
One of the officials said.
"Did you draw it yourself?"
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, brushed away the top two drawings, took out the third drawing, took it, shook it, and said doubtfully:
"Doesn't this picture of mountains seem to have anything to do with agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy? Why did he draw this picture?"
The reason why Yang Ji recognized this picture was very simple, because it was actually a topographic map of the mountains near Jin'an City. And pictures like this... Yang Ji took a look at it, and there seemed to be many more. It seemed that it was not an ordinary agricultural, mulberry and water conservancy project.
picture.
"We don't know this anymore."
The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "I just heard Master Chen talking about it during his lifetime, and it seems that there is a Nongsang ancient library related to it."
"Nongsangguku? What is this?"
Yang Ji looked surprised. For the first time, he discovered that his predecessor, Mr. Chen, the Prime Minister of Nongsang Sect, seemed to be doing some other interesting things.
"Your Excellency may not know that all the agricultural, mulberry and water conservancy projects of this dynasty were inherited from the previous dynasty. Even the name of the Nongsang Yamen was also passed down from the previous dynasty. Each dynasty has its own place to store agricultural and mulberry water conservancy tools. Mr. Chen wants to
This is what I’m looking for.”
An older Nongsang official in his forties or fifties explained.
"There are such things in this dynasty, right? Isn't it just a place where tools, drawings and some books can be borrowed? Why does Mr. Chen have to explore the previous dynasty?"
Yang Ji was very surprised. In his opinion, there should be no difference between the previous dynasty and this dynasty.
"this……"
The two Nongsang officials looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. They understood that the newly appointed Nongsang Sicheng was a complete layman.
"Sir, that's not the case. As long as the agricultural and mulberry officials of this dynasty actually know that the agricultural and mulberry water conservancy in the previous dynasty was actually much more powerful. There are many convenient and fast mulberry farming tools that were commonly used in the previous dynasty due to the war.
The reason is that it has been lost in this dynasty, or has been partially passed down."
"Like the previous dynasty, there were once many dragon carriages, dragon canals, and underground tiger canals and hidden dragons, which could irrigate farmland in an extremely practical way, and even plant in places with no water in deep mountains. However, these have been lost.
"
one of the officials explained.
Yang Ji was slightly embarrassed, knowing that he might have asked a question that was considered common sense to Nongsang officials.
"So Master Chen drew these drawings just to find those dragon chariots and keels?"
Yang Ji knocked on the drawings on the table and asked.
"It's not entirely true. Every dynasty and every generation has a place similar to the Nongsang Ancient Treasury. It contains not only various farmland water conservancy tools for irrigation, but also other things. Mr. Chen seems to have said it once. He
It seemed like I was looking for something inside. But I didn’t hear it clearly at the time and I don’t remember it.”
The first Nongsang official said and looked at the older official next to him.
The latter frowned, looking like he was thinking hard.
"It's been a while, I have to think about it... By the way, it seems to be related to a special kind of exotic grain from the previous dynasty. This kind of exotic grain is extremely drought-resistant, grows rapidly, has a short maturity cycle, and has extremely high yield. In
It can grow in all kinds of terrain environments.”
The second Nongsang official slapped his head and finally thought about it:
"Master Chen said that the prosperity of the previous dynasty had a huge relationship with this kind of exotic valley. If we can get this kind of thing, the grain output of Langya County will definitely increase several times."
"!!!"
Yang Ji was really surprised. He had also read a lot of history books and wild books, but he had never heard of the high-yielding grains the two mentioned.
"Two adults, do you really mean what you say?"
Yang Jidao.
If there is such a thing, it will definitely be a major benefit to the people.
"There is indeed a rumor circulating in private. But no one can be sure. After all, it was a very long time ago. But Mr. Chen believes it. I don't know where he heard that in Langya County
Somewhere there is an ancient Nongsang treasury of the former dynasty. Master Chen traveled to various places and worked tirelessly throughout his life just for this purpose."
Two officials said.
Yang Ji remained silent. This is not a trivial matter. If there really is that special kind of strange valley, it would indeed be worthy of a lifetime of exploration by the former Nongsang Sicheng. But before that, Yang Ji still had a doubt.
"Two adults, the story of the previous dynasty dates back thousands of years. After such a long time, there really was that Nongsang ancient treasury in Langya County, and there really was that kind of exotic valley. I'm afraid it has all rotted away and cannot be used, right?"
Yang Jidao.
"Hahaha……"
Hearing Yang Ji's words, the two officials from the Nongsang Department laughed:
"Sir, you are worrying too much. Storing grains is the basic function of all Nongsang Departments. The previous dynasty was different from ours. Those fine grain seeds were always collected and distributed by Nongsang Departments, and they were also responsible for storage. If
There really is that place, and that kind of grain is really stored, let alone a thousand years. Even if it takes a little longer, it can still be used."
"This is just Mr. Chen's conjecture. It is still unknown whether this place really exists. Before the founding of this dynasty, there were many Nongsangsi destroyed in various places. Mr. Chen's idea may not be true. You don't need to take it seriously."
The two smiled. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
