Song Yang checked the location of Jianghan Oilfield several times on the map, and it was actually closer to Mianyang, the capital of Fuzhou.
Song Yang originally planned to go to Mianyang.
But if Mingxi sent a letter to the place where Song Yang was going, it would be more convenient to go from Jingling.
Fang Zhe also said that the northwest direction of Mianyang is full of rivers and lakes, so it is best to go to Jingling.
That's why Song Yang's goal was changed to Jingling.
Jingling is an important town in Fuzhou.
After the natural disaster, the damage to Jingling Tomb was not particularly serious.
After several years of reconstruction and development, Jingling Mausoleum has been restored quite well.
"Your Majesty, this is the basic situation of Fuzhou." Lai Mingxi sent a detailed list.
Various data of Fuzhou are recorded above.
Fuzhou has a current population of 113,000, including more than 40,000 people in Mianyang, the capital city, 33,000 people in Jingling, and 28,000 people in Jianli.
There are more than 10,000 people scattered in some surrounding towns.
The 110,000 people in Fuzhou are the total population, including the rural population.
It sounds small, but the population is still relatively concentrated.
Fuzhou is located in Yunmeng Dazejiu, with many rivers and lakes within the territory.
Swamps are spread throughout the state capital, and there is very little arable land.
Although the area of the state capital is not small, it is almost as big as Fengzhou.
However, the actual developable cultivated land area is less than one-third of Fengzhou.
So the 110,000 people in Fuzhou are really not that few.
Song Yang took a look at the basic situation of Fuzhou. In fact, these contents were reported to Mingxi every year.
Regarding the specific lives of common people, seeing is believing.
Song Yang looked around the city and found that although it was not as good as Jiangzhou, the people did not worry about food and clothing.
This is enough.
Regarding Fuzhou, a state capital that is quite far away, Song Yang's attitude has always been moderate and does not seek quick success or instant benefit.
"Coming to the magistrate, the work in Fuzhou has been stable and progressing, which is very good." Song Yang gave a fair evaluation.
Thank you for your busy schedule.
In front of Lai Mingxi, Song Yang still put on some airs.
After all, he is not a close minister, and he is sent here to sit on the fence.
"Come here, sir. I will send someone down to take a look at the specific situation in Fuzhou. You can arrange for someone to contact you."
Song Yang explained.
He brought some civil servants and officials, all of them doing practical work in the government office.
Song Yang himself didn't have much time to go down to check the public sentiment, so he would send his subordinates to check out the situation.
Song Yang also does not engage in secret visits.
I told this matter in front of Lai Mingxi.
Lai Mingxi said he would do a good job in contacting and cooperating with the envoys.
After giving instructions on work matters, Song Yang brought up the oil field matters again.
Lai Mingxi didn't know anything about oil, but Song Yang just told him that he wanted to find a more important mineral.
Lai Mingxi was very happy to hear that there were still mineral resources in his territory.
With the minerals Song Yang needs, his status in Jiangzhou Group can also be improved.
"Let's do this. You can arrange some people tomorrow, and I will go over there and have a look tomorrow."
"Okay. I'll make arrangements soon."
Lai Mingxi agreed and asked carefully:
"Um... can I be accompanied by my subordinate?"
"If you are familiar with the place, just follow it. If you are not familiar with it, forget it."
Song Yang said casually.
"It's familiar. Xiaguan went there to inspect the water affairs before. Xiaguan is willing to lead the way for the prince." Lai Mingxi volunteered hurriedly.
Being able to go on tour with Song Yang will naturally strengthen the relationship between the two.
Of course he will try his best.
As for whether he is really familiar with that place, it is unclear.
Anyway, you have to bring a guide with you...
Early the next morning, Song Yang took the carriage prepared by Lai Mingxi and walked toward Qianjiang under the escort of the Fuxing Army and Navy.
From the Qianjiang side of Jingling Road, there is a Tianmen River waterway connecting it.
However, this waterway has not been dredged since the natural disaster. Siltation has occurred in several places upstream of Jingling, making it impossible to sail at all.
So we can only go there by horse-drawn carriage.
Song Yang didn't care about this. He sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and rested while continuing to review his petroleum knowledge.
The convoy walked like this for two whole days.
There is no road ahead.
There used to be a small village here, but it was abandoned after the natural disaster.
The path ends here.
Song Yang calculated the distance. Now this place is at least forty or fifty miles away from Qianjiang.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you'd better get back to the car quickly. This place is too chewy." Yu Ming circled around.
After passing the village, the front is full of large meadows and wasteland.
In addition, it had rained a few days ago, and as soon as the carriage passed by, the sky was filled with mosquitoes.
The two girls, Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan, did not dare to get out of the car at all.
There is mosquito coil incense given by Li Rui on the carriage, which is made from mugwort and other Chinese medicinal materials.
The mosquito repellent effect is quite good.
But after getting out of the carriage, the mosquito felt like it could eat people.
Song Yang waved his hands and said, "Stop hanging around me. You'll make me faint in a moment. Besides, I don't attract mosquitoes. If you don't believe me, just get out of the way first." Song Yang pushed Yu Ming away.
As expected, the seat went after Yu Ming.
When I came to Mingxi, mosquitoes were flying around in Liu Bao and San Mozhe's place.
The Renaissance Army soldiers behind were also constantly chasing away mosquitoes.
Only on Song Yang's side, there wasn't a single mosquito.
"This... must be the prince's domineering aura that scares away the mosquitoes!" Lai Mingxi looked at Song Yang as if he had discovered a new world.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that Song Yang is mighty and majestic.
"It's almost sunset, and there are more mosquitoes at night. We won't leave today and will camp on the spot."
As soon as Song Yang said he was setting up camp, everyone in the Renaissance Army cheered.
Finally, I no longer have to fight with mosquitoes.
The soldiers all brought mosquito repellents.
Once you set up camp and put some mosquito-repellent incense around it, there will basically be no mosquitoes in the camp.
There is an abandoned village here, which is convenient for camping. It is surrounded by a few relatively good houses.
Song Yang and others lived in the middle, and the soldiers lived on the outside to complete their work.
"Ahem! Yu Ming! Who lit the mosquito-repellent incense and left it to burn? If you order less, you will choke to death!"
As soon as he set up camp, Song Yang smelled a strong mosquito scent.
I asked Yu Ming to go and have a look.
It turned out that I came to Mingxi.
This guy is also a mosquito attractor. As soon as he shows up, he is greeted by mosquitoes, and now his face is covered with mosquitoes.
In order to retaliate against the mosquitoes, this guy lit mosquito coils all over himself.
Looking at it from a distance, the smoke filled area made me think that Lai Mingxi had cremated herself...
A bonfire was lit at night and there was mosquito coils.
There are also fewer mosquitoes in the mosquito camp.
"This place is really desolate, with weeds everywhere. Is the oil you are looking for really here, my lord?"
Tong Qian's cheek was also stung, and a small red envelope appeared. It looked like blush, which was quite pretty.
"The oil field is, of course, in the wilderness. I said that the conditions here are not good, but you still insist on coming. It's better now. You've been bitten by mosquitoes. Come here, I will give you some incense to repel mosquitoes." Song
Yang chuckled and pulled Tong Qian.
"Ahem!" Shen Xiaowan coughed twice, and her eyes indicated that there were some patrolling Renaissance soldiers around.
Tong Qian also blushed and went back to the room in embarrassment.
Song Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, forgetting that he was outside just now.
"Um...Liu Bao, are you ready?"
Song Yang could only change the topic and divert attention.
