The Shiyang River is a hundred meters wide, with no head to the west or tail to the east. The entire river trough and the river embankment on both sides are like a whole stone, without any gaps, and the river water flows endlessly into the distance.

The river is as much as fifty meters lower than the banks on both sides. If people who don’t know the local terrain are not familiar with the local terrain, they will never have such a big river standing in the distance.

Leng Yan and others stood on the shore and praised repeatedly. No wonder there were still 50,000 people in such a harsh environment in Quanyang County. Now it seems that all this is due to Shiyanghe.

"Old man, do you know where this river finally flows?"

Leng Yan asked curiously, he didn't know if there was a sea in this world, so he could only ask in a test.

"Sir Qi Bing, according to the word of mouth of ancestors, when this river arrived in Shanyang County, it completely disappeared into the gap at the bottom of the mountain. Many people wanted to find its next exit, but in the end they all returned empty-handed."

The father-in-law said that he sighed here because when he was young, he did not believe in the rumors of his ancestors and tried to find the source of the moment, and the result was conceivable.

"Oh?" Leng Yan was very surprised. Such a big river actually flowed into the mountain, which was indeed a bit incredible.

"Old man, are the water we Quanyang people drinking from this Shiyang River?"

At this time, Du Ruhui, who was beside him, asked.

His talent in governing the country and governing the country is unparalleled. Since the first sight of this river, he thought of how to use this river to benefit the people.

"Yes, sir, although the river is far from the county town, pulling a bucket with a carriage is enough for a family to live for seven or eight days, so it is quite convenient to use."

The old farmer said and pointed to the river bank in the distance. He saw that there were many ruts there, some of which had formed roads, and there were still several wooden barrels and ropes on the shore.

"Old man, it's a severe drought now, why don't you use the water from this river to irrigate the farmland?"

As a martial artist, Jiang Wei's idea is very simple. If he was asked to operate, he could get seven or eight buckets of water from the river in the blink of an eye, and it would be effortless.

"Oh, the general doesn't know anything, we also think, but not only does it take time and effort, the bucket of water that has been pulled back with hard work is like a drop in the water in the ground, and it doesn't work at all."

The old farmer said and looked at Shiyang River tentatively. Using the water from this river to irrigate the fields was the dream of many generations, but it has not been realized yet.

The few people lingered by the river for a while before setting off again and heading towards Quanyang County.

Leng Yan came out so that he could figure out some situations and people's conditions in Quanyang County. Now it seems that this trip is not in vain.

As a result, when they just returned to the county government, the Chao was already waiting at the door, and his face showed a rather anxious look.

"Sir, big things are not going well, big things are not going well!"

"What?" Leng Yan, Jiang Wei and others were shocked when they saw Wang Chao performing like this and asked hurriedly.

During this period, Leng Yan was actually only worried. Since the bait killed Liu County Magistrate Zhang and Huang Si, he was waiting for the counterattack of the county magistrate, and even had forces from the imperial city.

Seeing Zhang Long performing like this, my heart skipped a beat, and I thought it was Cao Zheng and the others who took action.

"Sir, the official road we are heading to Shanyang County has been dug up!" Zhang Long said anxiously.

Because there were few grasses in Quanyang County, there were many more cattle and sheep outside the city. He went to Shanyang County to purchase grass under the order of Leng Yan. Unexpectedly, the road leaving the county was cut off.

"The official road was dug?"

When everyone heard this, they were confused, especially Du Ruhui, who knew what it meant to be dug up by the official road.

"Zhang Long, go and get me a map of Quanyang. Let's talk about it when we enter the Yanei."

After thinking for a while, Leng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and he had already guessed the rough one.

After half a stick of incense, a complete map of Quanyang County was placed on the table.

Leng Yan took a look and completely understood why some people had to dig out the official path.

On the map, the landform of Quanyang County is unobstructed. The area within a radius of three thousand miles is surrounded by mountains that stretch out into the clouds. There are only two exits to enter and exit. When you leave the west entrance, you will reach the Western Regions vassal states, and when you enter the east entrance, you will reach the hinterland of the Great Zhou.

Since there are mountains on all sides of this place, it is also the main reason for the lack of rain and barrenness here all year round.

Otherwise, this three thousand miles away would never become a place that neither the Great Zhou nor the Western Regions vassal states looked down upon.

Even at the westernmost entrance, the Great Zhou Dynasty had no soldiers guarding the battalion, and the border between the two countries was peaceful for many years.

"Sir, Dazhou is going to completely abandon our Quanyang County!"

This time, not only Du Ruhui understood the meaning of the above, but also Jiang Wei and Song Ci gradually understood it.

"Do you want to sleep me to death? You are really cruel enough. You even want to make the 50,000 people in Quanyang suffer!"

Leng Yan didn't expect that the Great Zhou would do this and dare to dig out official paths. This was definitely an order issued by the emperor himself. Otherwise, even a county magistrate or prefect would not dare to do this even if he was the prime minister of the current dynasty.

"Sir, do you want me to go and clean up the sergeants who dug the official roads and restore the official roads first."

As Jiang Wei spoke, he actually burst out his momentum, which shows that this incident really made him very angry.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yan waved his hand. So what if he killed the soldiers now? The meaning of the Great Zhou Dynasty was to trap Quanyang County to death. Even if the official road was opened again, they could not buy any forage.

"Mr. Du, how much forage, grain, salt, and silver do we have in our county now?" he asked casually.

Originally, Leng Yan's idea was to rely on here to slowly develop it, and then find a way to return to the Great Zhou. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Great Zhou actually gave him a chance to directly become king.

The official road to the east has been cut off. As long as he guards the west, he has the final say in this radius of three thousand miles. The radius of three thousand miles is no small, even much larger than some small countries.

"Since you gave me this opportunity, I wouldn't I be sorry for you if I don't cherish it!"

Thinking of this, Leng Yan had already made up his mind secretly.

"Report to my sir, our forage is only enough for seven days, the grain can last for the whole city for twenty days, the salt can last for only five days, there are still nine thousand taels in the silver treasury and ten four thousand taels in the county government."

Du Ruhui clearly reported the number of each thing, and he had guessed Leng Yan's thoughts.

"Why is there so little salt? You can only last for five days?"

Leng Yan frowned slightly after hearing this. As an earthling, he naturally knew the importance of salt.

"Sir, these two days were the time when Hexi County sent salt offerings, but now the official road has been dug up, so..."

Du Ruhui frowned and said, Quanyang County now seems to be in a dilemma.

Leng Yan and the others did not know that the salt offering in Daliang was cut off from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they did not expect that the official road was dug up this time was actually caused by the salt offering.

Although there was silent in the lobby, there was no panic. Who were Jiang Wei, Du Ruhui, and Song Ci?

If this situation was given to others, I would have gone home to pack up my burdens and planned to find another way out.

After a while, Leng Yan opened his mouth,

"Old Du, you go and summon the people of the county. This time we probably have to overcome the difficulties together!"

A trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes, and a trace of madness.
