My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 351 Xi Rong
Bohai County is no better than Lingnan, and rice cannot be grown here many times.After the sea rice harvest, a large number of farmers became idle.

With so many people idle, not only is there a question of who will be responsible for the food rations for these idle people, it is also prone to chaos.

Jiang Tangtang thought about it and decided to develop Boshan.

Boshan dug out hot springs, and the temperature nearby was higher than elsewhere. Jiang Tangtang felt that the special local climate could be used to develop planting and breeding industries.

In addition, after the sea rice was harvested, there was a lot of straw, and farms near the tidal flats were also built.

Jiang Tangtang plans to find a time to send over the wild sheep in the space and the half-sized ducks bred by the Lingnan breeding farm.

When the sea rice is harvested, the rice piles are left, and the rice scattered during the harvest can also be used as food for the ducks.

However, the actual implementation deviated from Jiang Tangtang's plan.

Although the rice piles were left, because the harvest was too late, the rice piles did not have time to sprout.

As for the small amount of rice that accidentally fell during the harvest of sea rice, ordinary people took their children to the fields and picked it up one by one.

These minor problems are nothing. The most terrible thing is that the land that has been dry for nearly two years actually ushered in very bad and extreme weather after the onset of winter.

A few days after the beginning of winter, heavy hail suddenly fell.

Thumb-sized hailstones came crashing down, smashing the vegetable seedlings carefully cared for by farmers at the foot of Boshan Mountain to pieces.

In addition to the huge losses suffered by Jiang Tangtang's planting industry at the foot of Boshan Mountain, this hailstorm was also a very cruel test for many refugees.

Not long after Lu Shiyan occupied Bohai County, he had been accepting refugees.Although Lingnan is backed by financial and material resources, infrastructure construction takes time.

It is not easy to control the plague in such a short period of time, and the resettlement of refugees cannot be considered so comprehensively.

Under this situation, many people suffered from frostbite.

But after this hailstorm, it started to rain lightly.

People had suffered from nearly two years of drought, and when they saw the rain, many people ignored the cold and began to cheer.

Some people even knelt down and prayed for a good harvest next year.

Jiang Tangtang is not as optimistic as others.

There is an ancient proverb, "After a severe drought, there will be a great disaster." This year's locust plague and plague perfectly prove this sentence.

In order to resist possible disasters, Jiang Tangtang held a meeting. The main contents of the meeting were two points.

The first thing is to make preparations for building fire pits, and to notify local officials to dredge water canals and prepare for flood control.

On the other side, Emperor Xirong received news of the death of his third son Qi Hongshen.

After Qi Hongshen escaped from Cangwu, all his men died of the epidemic. He also showed symptoms of the epidemic, but he refused to accept the reality and refused to admit that he was also infected with the epidemic.

But the epidemic would not let him go just because he refused to admit it. He eventually died of the epidemic.

The Emperor of Xirong was angry because Lu Shiyan was unwilling to lend medicine to help Xirong, and wanted to teach Lingnan a lesson.

Now that he learned that his third son died in the plague, he blamed all the faults on Lu Shiyan and the others.

Qi Hongzong, the eldest prince of Xirong, assembled an army of [-], intending to assemble with the [-] troops who had previously attacked the Zhou Dynasty, and then attack Bohai County.

The reason why Qi Hongzong chose to attack Bohai County first was because Bohai County did not build such a large-scale city wall like Lingnan, so it was relatively easy to attack.

After Xirong experienced drought, locust plague and plague, its treasury was empty and could not produce too much food to cope with this war.As we all know, Bohai County has a bumper harvest of sea rice this year. As long as these grains are snatched, Xirong will have war supplies.

The spies sent by Lu Shiyan to Xirong to find out where Xirong's granary was located also immediately discovered Xirong's intentions.

In order to facilitate the transmission of news, the spies sent out were accompanied by carrier pigeons.These homing pigeons are domesticated in space and have intelligence enabled. They are smarter than ordinary homing pigeons, have more responsive reactions, and are not easily shot down by bows and arrows.

Before Xirong's army set off, Lu Shiyan received a letter sent by a spy using a carrier pigeon.

Seeing the news sent back by the secret agent from Xirong, Jiang Tangtang smiled instead of being angry, "We are going to Xirong right now."

Lu Shiyan glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's raining."

Jiang Tangtang raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to go if it rains?"

Wait until Xirong gathers his troops to fight them?

Of course, with their current strength, she is not afraid of going to war with Xirong.But I just can’t get angry.

"That's not what I meant." Lu Shiyan saw that she was like a cat with fried fur, and quickly comforted her: "What I meant was, can I keep you from getting wet in the rain?"

Jiang Tangtang said indifferently: "Rain is not a big problem. We will just wear thicker clothes and put on a raincoat outside."

And as long as there is space, it won’t be a big deal even if you get wet. After waiting, just go to the space and take a hot bath.

"I think this is a very good opportunity. You see, Xirong has gathered its forces and plans to attack us. Even if they plan to come to Bohai County to steal our food, they must prepare the food and grass first, right? Let's go at this time , they can serve the food and grass they worked so hard to raise in one pot without any effort."

Jiang Tangtang didn't need to explain these principles, Lu Shiyan could also think of them.But he thought deeper than Jiang Tangtang.

"Could this be a trap? There is a plague in Xirong. If someone uses something infected with the plague to lure us there..."

It's not that he's suspicious, but it's about Jiang Tangtang, and he will handle everything related to her carefully.

After what happened with Xiao Ye, he would not look down on any opponent.

"Probably not!"

Jiang Tangtang thinks it shouldn’t be that evil!Can her secret be discovered by the old emperor in Xirong?
But just in case, she still said: "Then let's be careful."

Jiang Tangtang put on a thick cotton-padded jacket and took out a raincoat and gave it to Lu Shiyan.

After the two changed their clothes, they set off to Xirong on Gugu.

Although Bohai County is far away from Xirong, Gugu flew very fast and arrived at Xirong before dawn.

The two of them arrived directly at the capital of Xirong, which was more heavily guarded than other places.

But Gugu flew high and it was a rainy night, so no one noticed.

The two of them entered Xia City, the capital of Xirong, so easily.

Although the two of them wore raincoats, they both got a lot of rain on their bodies as they rode on Gugu and flew high in the sky.

And now that the temperature is already low, the temperature in the high altitude is even lower.

After arriving in Xia City, Jiang Tangtang planned to find a hidden corner to enter the space and change clothes.

But as soon as she turned around, she was shocked by the tragedy on the roadside.
