Chapter 872 Invite the Eighth Prince to drink tea at the Punishment Department

Feng Yuheng did not have a thorough research on the geography of this era. First, she did not take the initiative to understand it, and second, there was no complete map of this era. For example, in the desert, no one could clearly explain how many countries there were, but people discovered ten. As for the depths of the desert, whether there are still countries in the places that cannot be reached by manpower, it is unknown whether there are still countries.

According to Li Zhu, except for ancient Shu, the other ten small countries in the desert are: Wulan, Xiaomi, Yilou, Weidu, Xiyue, Hu Xiu, Wen Nai, Che Shi, Gui Shan, and Nanwan. The names are all relatively rare, some of which are like the thirty-six Western countries discovered by archaeology in later generations. Although they are all in the desert, they are not in the same direction.

Each of these ten small countries is not big. Li Zhu has been to several places. The largest of those countries is just a provincial capital in Dashun, and the smallest one is like a state. Each country survives with an oasis, which is considered rich. These countries form alliances, but in fact they cannot send too many troops. According to Li Zhu, it would be good if the alliance forces of the ten countries could gather 200,000. However, the Gu Shu family had 300,000 troops. In this way, it was almost twice as many troops as the Dashun guarded the border south.

Li Zhu was a little worried about the war. He said to Feng Yuheng: "The area in Biannan is very hot. Even if you go to battle, you will feel that it is too hot even if you fight bare-handed. This is the most difficult time for General Dashun to fight. On the contrary, those people in the desert have long been used to such a climate. Relatively speaking, Biannan is a little cooler than in the desert, so they can easily fight and push Dashun to a desperate situation without much effort. Earlier, the Eighth Highness defeated Biannan. To be honest, the war was won, but the price paid was too high, and the subordinates always felt that it was not worth being paid. So many brothers' lives were filled in to get Biannan, and there was nothing to be proud of."

Li Zhu complained a lot about the Eighth Prince, but what he said was fair, so Feng Yuheng could naturally understand the truth. And the problem she was most worried about at the moment was the 100,000 Zhou Jun.

If we say that the soldiers of Dashun could barely bear the climate in the Biannan area. After all, there are summers in Kyoto and there are times when it is too hot to breathe. However, Qianzhou is in severe winter all year round. They were born and raised in Qianzhou, and then joined the army and started regular military combat training. Everything was carried out under the cold weather. Suddenly, when they arrived in such a hot place as Biannan, the hundred thousand people would definitely not be able to stand it.

Survival may be a problem, let alone war.

Seeing her frowning, Li Zhu stopped saying anything and stood up to say goodbye. Recently, the county has recruited many new recruits, all of which are trained by him. The city defense of Ji'an County has also been laid out bit by bit, and it is very busy.

Feng Yuheng thought that in addition to military supplies and food, she had to think of a solution to the scorching heat as soon as possible, and at least not let the 100,000 Zhou army lose its combat effectiveness. Even if she had advanced weapons in her hands, in addition to the 100,000 Zhou army, there were less than 20,000 Dashun soldiers brought by Xuan Tianming, and the gap was too huge.

For the first time, she became anxious about the war in the southern world. The climate was a fatal factor. Even if there was no good way to solve it in later generations, she could only rely on the physical fitness of the soldiers to support her. However, the battles in ancient times were always much harder than those in later generations, and the front line was longer. It was fine in a short period of time. Staying in Biannan for a long time would be a particularly large loss for Xuan Tianming's army.

It seems that her plan to go to the southern border must be in advance, and she also has to prepare more medicine and tea in the space to relieve heat. In such a hot place, there are so many people, and even if they can't supply it, it will not solve any problem. It melts as soon as it is sunken and cannot be used. The war still needs to be decided quickly. She is sure to quickly resolve the enemy, because she is afraid that the 300,000 troops in the south of the border will secretly stumbling, and her own people will harm her own people.

In Ji'an County, Feng Yuheng has begun to prepare for military supplies and food. At the same time, he has also opened up land on the mountains around Ji'an County, and people are planting various commonly used herbs. Some of these herbs can be sold by themselves or wholesale to clinics in other places. For the people in the county and residents of Yuzhou, this is another good place for workmanship.

Nowadays, as long as it is Princess Ji'an's work, everyone likes to do it, because the salary is given more and the benefits are good. The most important thing is that Princess Ji'an does is beneficial to the country and the people, and everyone can benefit from it if it is done well.

At the same time, those who were sent to the capital to sue the emperor also knelt down to Qiankun Hall under the recommendation of the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua, and exposed the Eighth Prince's evil deeds in public in the morning court. When the complaint of thousands of people was handed to Emperor Tianwu, the old emperor was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

He suddenly threw the confession on the eighth prince's face and shouted loudly: "Who gave you the right to seek your own selfishness with the orders of the people?"

Xuan Tianmo quickly knelt down, but refused to admit it. He insisted that he was harmed by the traitor, and pointed at the people who came to sue the emperor and asked loudly-"How much money did your master give you? How dare you slander me like this?"

Those people were not vague. Seeing their former master's face now, they were so angry that they were about to explode: "You are our master!" Someone answered and said, "Repay money? We have taken all the lives of our own sons. Do you think we would give up our own sons to falsely accuse you? Your Highness, we used to believe in you and follow your words with your will, but what did we change? It was changed to you to kill the donkey and kill all the donkey's cubs! Today, we are trying to sacrifice our lives and not to expose your crimes in front of the emperor, and seek justice for those wronged souls buried under the jade mine!"

After saying that, these people shouted at Emperor Kaiwu again: "Please investigate clearly!"

Tianwu attached great importance to this case. After all, the mining disaster was considered a major disaster, so he immediately took over the case by the Ministry of Justice. The current Minister of Justice is Xu Jingyuan, the former Jingzhao Yin. When he heard that something happened in Ji'an County, Xu Jingyuan's face darkened, stared at the Eighth Prince and groaned, stepped forward and took his life, and then said, "Then please ask the Eighth Prince to go to the Ministry of Justice to have some tea after the morning court!"

Xuan Tianmo shook his sleeves and looked bad, and even said, "Then please ask Lord Xu to handle the case quickly. Don't delay the king's arrangement of food and supplies for the war in the southern border. That is a big deal and cannot be mistaken."

Xu Jingyuan nodded, "The Eighth Prince's words are reasonable. Since both sides have a big deal, why don't you ask the emperor to send someone else to take over the escort of food and grass! The Eighth Prince's crime is now up to date, and it is not suitable for this position of escort of food and grass."

Xuan Tianmo's eyes could almost emit fire, but Xu Jingyuan was not afraid of him at all. In addition, the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua also said: "Transporting grain is a big deal, and the father thinks twice."

Emperor Tianwu nodded, looked down, and finally his eyes fell at the second prince. The matter of transporting grain to the southern boundary finally fell on the second prince Xuan Tianling!

On the third day of April, it is the best season for the capital. But for the southern border, the hot summer season is long gone, and there is no distinction between seasons.

In Fengfu in Lanzhou, Fu Ya sat in her yard, eating the fruits sent by the Magister Majesty, and drinking the sour plum soup made of ice cubes hidden in the cellar. But she still felt extremely hot and felt extremely depressed.

Yao was afraid of his daughter's suffering, so he called four maids to fan Fu Ya in a circle, and he also pinched a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat on Fu Ya's forehead. At the same time, he advised: "Honestly, if it really doesn't work, we won't live in Lanzhou, right? As long as you are with your mother, we will live the same wherever we go."

Fu Ya shook her head helplessly, "It's okay, mom, I can still bear it." This is not a question of being unable to bear it. They came to the southern world not to live a life, but to carry out tasks for the Eighth Prince. Only when this task is performed well and the results are achieved, one day in the future, can they get some benefits in front of the Eighth Prince. Once the Eighth Prince can successfully solve the problem of the Ninth Prince and Feng Yuheng, she will be the real Princess Ji'an, and she will be rich and worry-free in her life.

A servant hurried over from the front yard to report: "Princess, Fang Rujiang, the drug dealer who opened Baicaotang with you, is here again. He is at the door and says he will meet you no matter what."

Yao frowned when she heard this: "Didn't you tell the public that Ah Heng was caught in a heat and would not see guests if he didn't go out? Why is that person so ungrateful?"

The servant who came to report said, "The news has spread out, but the man carried the medicinal materials in his hand and said that he was here to relieve the heat of the princess."

Fu Ya was so angry that she suddenly threw the cup containing the sour plum soup and stood up suddenly. Yao thought she was going to see someone, so she was tightly tidying her clothes, but Fu Ya said, "Mother sits for a while, and her daughter goes to say a few words to her father." After that, she hurried to Feng Jinyuan's study.

Yao looked at Fu Ya's back and felt empty, as if this daughter was about to leave her soon. She was obviously in front of her, but she couldn't catch her tightly. The feeling of going further and further between the capital and Feng Yuheng came up again, and Yao was very worried.

Feng Jinyuan also received news from Fang Rujiang to the mansion again in the study. Seeing Fu Ya coming hurriedly, he said helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, see you! Baicaotang has been open for a while, and you have been avoiding showing up. Yesterday, when my father walked on the street, I heard a lot of people talking about it. Some people said that Princess Ji'an's Baicaotang in Lanzhou is too different from the capital. No matter how you look, they look like a fake. I think it's time to show off my face to give people a reassurance. Lord Ji also sent someone to Baicaotang in other provinces to buy that special pill. I believe that I will be back soon."

Fu Ya had no choice but to go to the front yard with Feng Jinyuan and receive Fang Rujiang in the Fang Hall.

The man was very polite when he saw Fu Ya. He heard that she was caught in the heat and had a long time of coldness to ask about her well-being, and sent medicinal materials to understand the heat. But when the medicine was put on the table, Fang Rujiang said again: "These are all to be made into Chinese medicine soup. I think the princess will not take such medicine. The good medicines in our Baicaotang were gone a few days ago, and the princess has never been there since the opening of Baicaotang. Recently, the people will always gather in Baicaotang to cause trouble. So the villain came here this time, hoping that the princess could go to Baicaotang to sit, and secondly, hoping that the princess could also supplement the missing medicines. After all, our Baicaotang mainly relies on the reputation of those special medicines, right?"
