AWB Chapter 174 Pearl Reminder
Chapter 174 Pearl Reminder
Mu Feng did not directly answer Zi Nu's question, but asked: "Miss Zi Nu has been in Korea and is quite familiar with Nanyang. Do you know the distribution of land in Nanyang?"
Zi Nu has been staying in South Korea for many years, and her intelligence covers all seven countries. Nanyang is an important place in South Korea, so how could Zi Nu let it go? She knows basically everything about Nanyang.
Zi Nu frowned and said, "In fact, the land in Nanyang is similar to that in Xinzheng. The fertile land is controlled by wealthy businessmen and officials."
"As for the common people around us, they either cannot survive and become slaves of the rich businessmen and officials, or lose their freedom forever."
"Or go to a remote place and cultivate barren land to ensure that your family will not starve to death."
Zi Nu took in many women in Zi Lan Xuan who were forced to sell themselves into slavery because they were about to starve to death. She had known about these things for a long time and looked very calm.
Mu Feng recalled the past plots and continued, "If you want crops to grow well on barren land, you must think of a way, otherwise, the crops you planted will most likely fail to produce any harvest."
"In the end, they either starved to death or sold themselves into slavery."
Yan Lingji's eyes lit up: "Fertilizer, fertilizer can improve the barren land, and the crops will naturally grow well."
Zi Nu's expression changed and she asked, "Is there something wrong with the fertilizer?"
Mu Feng nodded and said, "Look, is the surrounding land covered with a layer of white smoke? Since it is raining, it should be very clear, but now it is so abnormal."
"If it's not a soil problem, then there's only one problem: someone did it intentionally."
When Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji looked over, they saw that almost all the land was covered with white mist, which was extremely abnormal.
Mu Feng continued, "I just checked and found that the land has been fertilized. With a heavy rain and fertilizer, even if there is no harvest, we can still ensure that we will not starve to death."
"Now, all of them are strangely dead."
Zi Nu thought carefully and said, "Nanyang is the base camp of the Emerald Tiger. He is the only one selling fertilizer within a hundred miles. Others dare not interfere."
"Moreover, with Night's support behind the scenes, the Emerald Tiger's power is extremely large."
"If it was intentional, the Emerald Tiger would be the most likely suspect."
Yan Lingji said: "The Emerald Tiger on the Stone is one of the four fierce generals of Night. It seems that Night has already set the trap and is waiting for us to jump in."
Mu Feng shrugged and said, "The situation is treacherous and turbulent. Now is not the time to determine the winner."
"Let's go, walk a little further ahead and take a closer look. Maybe we can get further insights into our guesses."
At the same time, on Zhang Liang's side.
Zhang Liang was appointed as an eunuch with the power to check files. With an elegant look on his face, Zhang Liang came to the storage room, ready to check the recent situation in Nanyang in recent years.
The storage room is very spacious, with the bookshelves neatly arranged and neatly displayed in the room, and the bamboo slips on them neatly stacked.
The bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner. This is the most important place in Korea, recording the history of Korea and even Zheng State. Now, Zhang Liang needs to find information about Nanyang among the numerous bamboo slips.
A breeze blew by, and the door of the storage room shook slightly, startling Zhang Liang who was looking up some information.
Zhang Liang observed carefully but found nothing wrong and was about to continue checking.
"Empress Zhang."
Suddenly, a charming voice sounded from behind Zhang Liang, which frightened Zhang Liang.
Mrs. Mingzhu wore a beautiful purple tube top dress with purple lace decoration on the top of the sleeves, her upper body was clearly visible and her waist was faintly visible as she turned her body.
The hips are tightly wrapped in the purple skirt, highlighting the proud silhouette. The purple long skirt wraps the legs to the ground, and the sides are slit to the waist, giving people an intoxicated and hazy feeling.
The purple high-heeled boots match the jade-smooth feet, and the figure is graceful and charming.
Her long hair falls behind her, her beautiful face has a smile on it, and her charming eyes are alluring.
Zhang Liang soon spotted Madam Mingzhu and respectfully stepped aside, shaking her hand and saying, "Madam Mingzhu."
Madam Mingzhu leaned against the bookshelf and said, "I want to ask Zhang Neishi to copy the manuscript. How about that?"
Zhang Liang knew that Madam Mingzhu was cooperating with Liusha, and that she was doing this to conceal her tracks.
Suddenly, Princess Honglian appeared, ran to Zhang Liang quickly, and shouted happily: "Little Liangzi."
Madam Mingzhu was surprised and asked, "Princess Honglian, why are you here?"
Honglian pretended to be surprised and said, "So Madam Mingzhu is here too. I heard that Xiao Liangzi became a eunuch, so I came here specially to congratulate her."
Honglian took out a bright red peach and threw one to Madam Mingzhu, saying, "Madam, here's one for you."
Madam Mingzhu took the peach, took a bite, and said with a laugh, "Nanyang's famous peach is Lu Yuebai. The peaches in Nanyang are indeed sweet and delicious. Nanyang has suffered from drought, but the peaches are still intact. It's really strange."
"Thank you Princess Honglian for the peaches. I won't bother you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she left gracefully.
Zhang Liang murmured to himself, "Peaches from Nanyang."
Princess Honglian smiled and said, "Yes, Nanyang paid a lot of tribute this year."
Zhang Liang was suddenly startled, and remembered Madam Mingzhu's words of warning, and said, "Most of the grain was destroyed, but the peaches were safe and sound. Could it be that there is something wrong with the soil?"
Honglian knew what Zhang Liang had discovered, and asked, "Did Madam Mingzhu remind you of something?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "That's right. Madam Mingzhu is hinting that the Jade Tiger has made some moves, and it's not the drought that's the cause."
......
At noon the next day, Mu Feng and his party arrived in Nanyang.
In Nanyang County, the scene is different. The trees are lush, the grass is green, and the lake is clear, forming a sharp contrast with the barren land outside Nanyang City.
The carriage stopped and Mu Feng got off. Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji stayed beside Mu Feng.
Mu Feng looked around at the scene and felt the surrounding soil with his right hand.
Zi Nu asked, "Did you find anything different?"
Mu Feng nodded: "The disaster said that the land was damaged, food was in short supply, and the area outside the city was desolate, but the trees here are growing surprisingly well."
Yan Lingji thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, there is a huge difference between the two, so the disaster in Nanyang may be man-made."
Mu Feng smiled and said, "Whether it's a disaster or man-made, since the Emerald Tiger has taken action, we must hand over everything we want."
At this time, a servant came and bowed respectfully, saying, "Mr. Mu, my master wants to see you."
Mu Feng's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and exchanged glances with Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji.
It seems that the Emerald Tiger is very powerful. As soon as Mu Feng arrived in Nanyang, the Emerald Tiger discovered his whereabouts. The Emerald Tiger is more difficult to deal with than imagined.
