Chapter 319 Rushing to Xunzhou
After returning to Datang, Wang Xiang immediately took out the bag containing the crystals, and the crystals inside turned into ashes.

He finally understood how the energy of the spar disappeared. Obviously, the warehouse absorbed the energy in the spar. The mutation of the warehouse itself was related to the disaster a year ago, so the connection between the two did not surprise him. , but after absorbing the spar energy, he didn't feel any changes in the warehouse.

However, he believes that since the warehouse can absorb the energy in the crystals, there must be some special changes. There is no change now, probably because the grade of the crystals is too low and there is too little energy. .

Zhao Jun is quite capable of leadership, and the construction of the base went very smoothly without encountering any difficult problems. Two days later, Wang Xiang transported thousands of catties of rice from Datang, as well as some vegetables and meat, and asked Leif to transport them outside to build the building. Inside the temporary warehouse, and told her that she would be away for a while.

Both Wang Xiang and Liu Qingqing were very surprised when he said that he would leave Lei Fu. Wang Xiang is not a capable person. It is very dangerous to go out alone in the last days. I still care about Wang Xiang.

"Why don't you, an ordinary person, hide in the base and run around? Even if you want to find someone, you are not in a hurry. It will be easier to find someone after you have established your own power."

Wang Xiang knew that Lei Fu was afraid that he would be in danger, and he didn't know how to explain it to her, so he could only vaguely say: "Don't worry, I'm not going out to find someone, I'm just going to a safe place to do some errands, and I'll be back after a while. The matter of the base will trouble you."

Lei Fu said nonchalantly: "If there is any trouble at the base, Zhao Jun and the others will be fine, but you, do you want me to go with you?"

You can't go even if you want to...

Wang Xiang shook his head: "You can't go to that place."

Rafe snorted disdainfully, thinking that Wang Xiang didn't want him to know where he was going, how could he, a place where ordinary people could go, could not be able to go, guessing in his heart that it was very likely that Wang Xiang was going to the grain warehouse he found , A grain warehouse that can produce thousands of catties of rice will indeed arouse the covetousness of many people, and it is normal to be cautious.

On the second day, the basement warehouse was locked, and all the food inside had been transferred to the newly built temporary warehouse outside, and Lei Fu was in charge of guarding it. Liu Qingqing would take some of it out of it every day and hand it over to Zhao Jun, who asked him to arrange someone to make it for everyone. meal.

Wang Xiang naturally returned to Datang, and he planned to rush to Xunzhou as soon as possible.

The canning factory originally planned to be built in Luoyang was also cancelled. Wang Xiang planned to bring a few people who knew how to make canning to build a canning factory in Xunzhou, which would be his headquarters in Datang in the future.

When Butler Wang came back with a few people who knew how to make cans, the team that had been prepared for a long time set off for Xunzhou. Chengdu, Yangzhou and other places that were originally planned to visit along the way did not stop. Li Zhi was very disappointed, sitting in the carriage pouted and looked unhappy.

Wang Xiang had no choice but to comfort them to wait until Xunzhou had more interesting things.

Except for the rest time at night, the convoy traveled non-stop along the way, and it took eight days to arrive at Lingnan, which was only half a day away from Xunzhou.

The officials in charge of receiving Wang Xiang had long been notified that someone would lead the convoy to Xunzhou, Wang Xiang's fief, as soon as it entered Lingnan.

When passing through Guangzhou City, Wang Xiang discovered that Guangzhou City is actually quite prosperous, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an and Luoyang, but it is still full of prosperity.However, the more you go to Xunzhou, the more remote it becomes. When Wang Xiang really entered the boundary of Xunzhou, he realized that his fief was a desolate and uninhabited land. No wonder Li Er said that when he proposed Xunzhou as a fief no comment.

"Master Liu, how many families are there in Xunzhou?"

There is only one official in the whole Xunzhou, that is, Liu Qingsheng, the chief bookkeeper. Xunzhou was given to Wang Xiang as a fief by Li Er, and he naturally became Wang Xiang's retainer. Of course, Wang Xiang is willing to have him, otherwise a small master The imperial court will not find another vacant job for him. If Wang Xiang does not want him as a retainer, he will probably be "unemployed".Although the chief secretary is only a low-level official position, he has at least a few dollars a month in salary, which is enough in a remote place like Xunzhou.

So upon hearing Wang Xiang's question, Liu Qingsheng, who was leading the way, quickly turned his head and replied respectfully: "My Lord, there are 120 households in Xunzhou."

120 households... Wang Xiang was sweating in his heart. He remembered watching TV and novels where there were tens of thousands of households. He didn't expect that he had only a hundred households. The gap between reality and ideal was too great.

"I heard that Xunzhou is quite a big place. Why are there only 120 households?"

Liu Qingsheng said: "In the past, there were more than two hundred families."

Wang Xiang looked depressed. Is there any difference between 120 households and [-] households...

Liu Qingsheng didn't know what Wang Xiang was thinking and continued: "The land in Xunzhou is not good, and the farmers can't grow crops. Later, some people moved away, and now there are only 120 households left."

"If you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, you also eat the sea. Isn't it good that Xunzhou is close to the seaside and there are seafood to eat every day?" In his previous life, Wang Xiang liked seafood very much, and he often envied those friends who lived by the seaside, thinking that they could eat seafood every day. I am so happy.

After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Liu Qingsheng asked in confusion, "What kind of seafood is Hou Ye talking about?"

Wang Xiang suddenly thought of the saying that there was no such thing as seafood in ancient times, and explained: "It is the fish in the sea. Even if the land in Xunzhou is not suitable for farming, people can still fish for a living. Why do you want to move away?"

Liu Qingsheng smiled wryly and said: "The people here do depend on fishing for a living, but people can't just eat fish. Besides, fishing in the sea is different from fishing in the river. The sea is dangerous. I don't know when there will be a storm. The small fishing boat was overturned, even people who are familiar with water may not be able to survive."

Wang Xiang fell silent when he heard the words. In ancient times, people relied on the land to eat and were afraid of the unpredictable sea. Therefore, if there is no way, no one wants to make a living by fishing. For them, facing the loess and turning their backs to the genius is normal life.

After learning some things about Xunzhou from Liu Qingsheng, the convoy finally entered the only village in Xunzhou. All 120 families lived in this village.

The village is very simple, full of old, dilapidated houses piled up with rubble, scattered here and there, Wang Xiang felt desolate when he saw it.

This is my fief?What a cheat!
