Chapter 148 The sound of spring thunder full of doubts
Su Li did not go to the Hexi County Sheriff. He just went to Jincheng's archives through Ji Zheng to search for previous county records.
He was actually quite curious. Because Hexi County was once known as the 'granary', it was never subject to drought or floods like it is now.
This time he allowed rain here, which actually only solved the temporary difficulties this year, but what about next year? What about the year after that?
He can make artificial rainfall, but he cannot come here every year to solve the climate problem in Hexi County.
So he tried to get rid of it once and for all.
Of course, the reason cannot be seen in these county records, but there are always some clues that may be helpful.
This time, the guard became his follower and was sent as Ji Zheng's clerk to help Su Li review the information.
In fact, there are three of them in total, because Sausage can also read!
Every time the guard looked up and saw the furry ball no bigger than his forearm flipping through a book seriously, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He told himself with all his strength: This is a fairy pet, something different...
The records in the county annals are actually quite vague. In some years, the main events that happened in the county were not even recorded. The whole article is like someone's travel diary.
Su Li could only lament that the ancients were so 'romantic'...
From this, he, Liao Wei and Meuchang looked through it quickly, going all the way back and forward, and found some records of climate change in the records of the scale...
It turns out that in Hexi, May and June were also the rainy season!
But it seems that from one thousand to thirteen hundred years ago, there has been less and less rain in this month.
Similarly, the climate in May and June should have been the beginning of summer and the end of spring, and should still be cool. However, in Hexi County, it has already entered midsummer early.
They couldn't determine the cause of climate change because the records were so vague.
Su Li wasn't even sure whether it was a problem in the Tianli Mountains in the north, or something happened in the extremely cold places further north.
And just when they had no clue, the meat sausage next to them, who was reading these county records as a novel, suddenly slapped his little paw, and then screamed "Ooooooooo~".
"You said you found something?" Su Li looked over quickly.
But I saw that this article was actually the daily life record of a certain official 1,400 years ago... Did this county annals really put everything in it?
It’s just that the article pointed out by Meuchang is very interesting. It tells the story of the gentleman who was preparing for his ‘morning exercise’ with his maid in the early morning when he was suddenly frightened into epilepsy by a sound of spring thunder in the north...
If you ignore the important information in it, it can be regarded as a joke... Maybe Sausage reads this kind of story because he wants to laugh at "stupid humans".
But Su Li extracted the key from it... What kind of 'spring thunder' can scare people into epilepsy?
"Look for records and documents from this time. This seems to be an important clue." Su Li said quickly.
The guard quickly went to look for it, while Su Li touched the head of the meat sausage and said, "Good job this time. Maybe we will take time to explore the Tianli Mountains in the north."
"Ouch~" Rouchang rubbed his head against Su Li. He probably understood something and acted helpless... What does that mean? Doesn't he just want to ride me again!!
They had a clear position this time and quickly found relevant evidence from the archives... They found four articles on the same day fourteen hundred years ago, three of which recorded this time.
Deafening 'Spring Thunder'.
Two of the articles recorded that dust fog came from the north. In the following ten years, there was very serious dust in the air in Hexi and even the surrounding areas.
One of these two articles included a sentence: At that time, many people in Hexi suffered from tuberculosis.
Even Su Li's eyes felt dry after reading these ancient documents.
This is because people in Jincheng compile and copy copies every once in a while, but even so, many of these documents are missing.
Fortunately, everything he wanted to see had been seen. Su Li closed the documents and said, "I roughly know that a big change occurred in the Sky Split Mountain 1,400 years ago. I will fly my sword to pass the letter to the sect. There should be
More detailed information will be provided."
The guard rubbed his sore eyes and felt extremely envious as he watched Su Li throw a messenger flying sword.
He used to be full of dreams, but now he has passively recognized the reality...
It can only be said that he thinks too much. It is estimated that his dream is still Su Li's dream.
After the two of them finished their work, they returned to the inn where they were staying and waited for Ji Zheng to return.
"Sir, how are you going to handle our request?" Liao Wei asked.
Ji Zheng looked a little unhappy, but he still said in a gentle tone: "The county governor believes that the drought in Hexi will be resolved after this rain, and he doesn't care much about our request to drill more water wells in each village and town."
"Short-sighted!" Liao Wei was also angry in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, and he actually felt fierce.
Su Li said nonchalantly: "Don't be angry, this should be an expected result. The key is whether the county guard allows us to walk on the border of Hexi?"
Ji Zheng's face looked better and he said: "The county governor did not set any difficulties in this regard. He also sent a team of soldiers to obey the dispatch because of my status."
Everyone felt a little better now. This was already an unexpected surprise.
"Where is he?" the guard asked again.
As soon as he finished speaking, an officer strode over to the inn.
He clasped his fists at Ji Zheng vigorously and said: "The last general, Meng Zhi, has been ordered by the county governor to come and obey the young master's orders."
"General Meng is so polite!" Ji Zheng was a little flattered. He didn't expect that the leader sent by the county guard turned out to be a partial general!
Although the general is the lowest among the generals, he is still a general after all!
This Meng Zhi must have been so unpopular with the county governor that he was sent to Ji Zheng's side like a banishment...
That's right, Ji Zheng is not popular with the county guard. However, his status is too high to be disrespected, so it is appropriate to let Meng Zhi, a partial general, obey the orders.
It's just that Meng Zhi obviously didn't look so happy.
"Excuse me, sir, when will we set off?" Meng Zhi asked with some urgency.
Looking at this posture, it seems that he wants to accompany the young master from Anyang City to complete the task of 'playing house' as soon as possible.
When the guard saw this, he wanted to scold him on the spot, but Su Li took his hand and said softly: "It is useless to argue at this time. Ji Zheng can handle it by himself."
That's right, if Ji Zheng can't even deal with such a crooked general, how can he talk about the great talent and strategy in his chest?
Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "You can leave at any time. I wonder if the general is ready?"
"One hundred sergeants will definitely protect the young master!" Meng Zhi said firmly.
"Then let's go."
Ji Zheng stood up immediately...
It seems that he also understands that in order to get the approval of these grassroots officers, doing is far more important than talking.
