The Empress Dowager

Chapter 348 Going to the countryside ([-])

After several days of suppression by Murong Yu, the rogues in the city have subsided a lot, and the law and order in the city has relatively stabilized.Even so, Murong Yu still sent guards who followed him to make daily inspections.

In most areas of Ningyuan, soil salinization is relatively serious. Many people have empty land but cannot plant farms, which is a headache.

Moreover, there is no modern treatment technology for drinking water here, so the water that people drink is relatively salty.

On this day, Murong Yu didn't inform the local officials, and only took Xianying with him to go to the countryside for investigation. Nangong Yue was fine, so he followed Murong Yu to the countryside.

In Linping Town, Yuanqing Village has a large area of ​​barren land. There are not many people in the village. Most of them are old people and children. Young men go to other towns to work to earn some silver and support their families.

The more Nangong Yue walked in, the colder her heart became. She knew that Ningyuan was bitterly cold, but she didn't know that it was so cold. What she saw now was only the situation of a village. You must know that Ningyuan is so big that there must be many affected areas.

Some trees were planted on both sides of the road. Although it was early spring, those trees stood there lifeless, with bare branches hanging down low.

Not far away, a group of four or five-year-old children were playing. They saw Murong Yu and his group walking towards the village, and dispersed one after another, each running home.

Nangong Yue looked at the group of children in ragged clothes, her dark eyes flickered, she really suffered for them.

Not long after, a group of old people, children, and women gathered together to look at Nangong Yue and the others.

"It's really strange. No one has been in our village for a long time. What are they doing here?"

"Who knows? Looking at their attire, they must be young masters from wealthy families. Miss, look, how good is that woman's skin?" a woman said.

"I suppose they've gone to the wrong place?"

"That's right, who would come to this place where the birds don't shit?" Another person said mockingly.

"Our Lizheng didn't come, if he found out, he would be very happy for a long time."

……

Everyone was talking about each other, but Murong Yu had already left a long way with his people.

Murong Yu asked someone to get a shovel and loosen the soil. A layer of soil was turned up, and some white soil could be seen inside. Murong Yu dug a few places, and the situation was the same.

Murong Yu looked at the surrounding water sources again, not very optimistic.

For Nangong Yue, she has never encountered this kind of situation. However, for a period of time, some researches on saline soil and improvement of saline soil were always shown on TV.

Nangong Yue thought about it, and she could think of one or two.

Nangong Yue looked at Murong Yu who was standing aside and frowning, and said, "There should be a solution to this kind of soil salinization. Let's observe it for a few days."

Murong Yu looked at Nangong Yue, the soil is salinized?The locals call it Xiantu, but no one calls it so official...

"Well, we're going to live here for a while, so I'll wrong you for a few days." Murong Yu said softly.

"You are serving the people. Besides, this is not a grievance? However, let me tell you, this land is not that bad, so it should not be difficult to deal with it." Nangong Yue said.

"Yue'er has seen worse land than this?"

"I just heard someone say it." Nangong Yue said in a low voice. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and almost said the wrong thing.

"Yue'er has a good memory, it's getting late, let's find a place to rest!" Murong Yu said, stretched out his long arms, and walked towards the house where Nangong Yue lived.
