The rain in midsummer comes and goes quickly.

The wind after the rain blowing from the vast Yudan River Plain is less hot and a little more refreshing.

Three quarters past noon.

Li Chenan and the four of them had lunch at the Yuelai Inn, and then they set off to leave.

It's still a carriage with two horses.

It's just that there are a lot more things in the carriage, but the carriage is quite big, so it won't be too crowded.

The carriage drove out of Yudan City slowly and walked on the Yudan River Plain.

Li Chenan opened the car curtain and looked out, seeing a lush green field.

There are many rice fields in between.

Thanks to the irrigation of the Yudan River and the flat terrain, the rice fields in June have already been closed and the flowers have entered the season.

There are records about this place in the Imperial City's archives.

It is said that when the Dayong Kingdom existed, the Yudan River Plain was already an important grain-producing area of ​​the Dayong Kingdom.

At that time, there were many village houses scattered on this large plain, presenting a prosperous rural scene.

But while waiting for Lu Zhanxiao to destroy Yongguo on the train, due to the tenacious resistance of the people here, thousands of households were massacred.

The blood-stained Jade River.

It took five days to clear.

Since then, the Yudan River Plain has become deserted.

The fertile fields were left uncultivated and gradually turned into grasslands.

It was not until the past twenty years that people came to this land again. They settled here and settled down, reclaimed the wasteland, and gradually regained some of the scenes of the past.

Sure enough, it’s a little!

In Li Chenan's field of vision, there were only a few villages.

The population of Ning State was already declining, and coupled with the extremely heavy agricultural taxes when Ji Tai was in power, there were not many people cultivating this huge fertile land, and it was far from what it was when Da Yong State existed.

Li Chenan's eyes turned to Wuya Mountain in the distance.

Only then did he feel firsthand the importance of Wuya Pass.

Only by recapturing and guarding Wuyaguan can the safety of farming in the entire Yudan River Plain be guaranteed!

This fertile land cannot be left to waste.

If Wu Mian recaptures Wuyaguan, he should issue policies to benefit the people and attract people from other places to come here to farm!

Promoting industry and commerce does not mean giving up agriculture.

Instead, we must make great use of this advantageous geographical location to increase food production.

How can we increase food production?

Li Chenan recalled it carefully.

It is nothing more than seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation and scientific management.

But how to do it specifically...

"Chen'an,"

Zhongli Ruoshui's words interrupted Li Chenan's thoughts.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Huh?"

"When we enter Wuya Mountain, we will leave Ningguo."

"Yes," Li Chenan held Zhongli Ruoshui's little hand, "Don't worry about anything, we will be back in a few days."

Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is the Sword Washing Tower still far away?"

"The Xijian Tower is a hundred miles outside Dongxu City, the capital of the Wu Kingdom... After crossing Wuya Mountain, there is still about a month's journey left."

"oh……"

There was no disappointment or frustration in Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes.

Spending these days together ignited the girl's desire for life again.

She has fully felt the beauty of youth, the taste of being loved, and the yearning for future life.

She was looking forward to arriving at the Xijian Tower as soon as possible, hoping to successfully enter the Xijian Tower and go to the Forgetting Platform.

She didn't know what was in that place.

She just heard from Xiao Baozi that the founder of Xijian Pavilion a thousand years ago was the one who mastered the Eighteen Techniques of Fujian Zhoutian Jue at Wangqingtai and became the only invincible grandmaster in the world.

Sister Xiao said that Wangqingtai is the holy place of Xijian Tower.

It is also a forbidden area.

Chen'an, can he go in smoothly?

Li Chenan gently squeezed Zhongli Ruoshui's hand and said softly: "After your illness is cured, let's go to Dongxu City for a walk."

"Wen Boyu said that Dongxu City is quite different from our Yujing City."

"Although thousands of years ago, Wu, Ning, and Yue were all under the rule of the same country called Dali. But the position of Ning was the key to the political economy and civilization of the Dali Empire a thousand years ago.

center."

"In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed, and the sea has changed dramatically. Jade Capital has gone through five dynasties and has become what it is now."

"Now that Ning State is weak, the economic advantage of Yujing City is no longer there, but the cultural heritage of Yujing City is stronger than Dongxu City of Wu State and Sifeng City of Yue State."

"He said that Jade City is more refined and has an air of elegance."

"The Dongxu City of Wu State is more rough, like an unkempt man."

"As for the Sifeng City in Yue Kingdom, it has an exotic flavor."

"If we use weapons as a metaphor, Yujing City is like a sword, Dongxu City is like a knife, and Sifeng City is like the Buddhist Zen staff."

After a pause, Li Chenan continued: "I am full of curiosity about this world. After your illness is cured, we will go to Dongxu City to have a look. After returning to Ningguo, we will go to Wanxi Zhai to pick up Xiao Baozi."

"From now on... the three of us will go together and walk around this world to see. This will make it worthwhile for us to come to this world."

Zhongli Ruoshui nodded, "Okay, but state affairs..."

Li Chenan waved his hand, "I will take care of it. With Xiao Wu as the emperor, Wen Boiyu and the others, let them do the specific things."

Zhongli Ruoshui opened the car curtain and looked into the distance.

The carriage was not going in the direction of Wuyaguan.

But to the west.

This is not an official road, but a country road in the fields.

The road is very narrow and bumpy, so the walking speed is not very fast.

But Wuya Mountain is still getting closer.

Li Chenan also looked out the window.

The sun gradually sets in the west.

It was gradually getting dark.

Gradually the moonlight fell.

The carriage has reached the end of the vaguely identifiable country road.

"Master, we have to walk on foot next."

Qin Rigang stood at the door of the carriage with an angry wind lantern and whispered something. Li Chenan and Zhong Liruo got off the carriage and stood at the foot of the silent mountain.

Looking through the bright moonlight and stars, there is a slope at the end.

On the slope is a large and shadowy bush.

On the other side is a vast blackness.

Netherworld Valley is an unknown place. You are not allowed to enter the mountain tonight. You can only camp at the mouth of Netherworld Valley for one night.

Qin Rigang and his wife began to be busy. One person was responsible for setting up camp, and the other was responsible for burying pots and making rice.

Li Chenan and Li Chenan sat on the ground in front of a bush, looking towards the Yudan River in the distance.

"It's like a big dream."

Zhongli Ruoyuan put his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with his hands, and said:

"After I thought I was cured of my illness, I once thought about traveling around the world."

"But I didn't expect it to be done in this way."

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Chenan, with a smile on her face:
To be continued...
