Yang Si held two tokens with a dazed look on his face and came out of the Shenqi Division.
Chu Yi, who was following behind, hesitated to speak.
Yang Si noticed Chu Yi's expression, and Yang Si naturally knew what Chu Yi was going to say.
"Daughter-in-law, please pack your luggage later and go to the South China Sea with me."
Yang Si grinned and said.
"Ah?" Chu Yi was stunned for a moment.
"It happens to be over there in the South China Sea, and I'm not familiar with the place. Wife, please show me the way."
"By the way, let's see if you can ask about my future father-in-law." Yang Si chuckled.
"Okay." Chu Yi nodded,
Since there is light and darkness, Yang Si naturally cannot bring too many people.
Among his eight followers, Yang Si randomly named three people, Zhang Yuan, Xiao Cheng and Yang Huai.
The remaining people are helping in Chang'an.
Moreover, Yang Si told Zhang Fei to help take care of Jishi Pharmacy.
Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly.
In fact, with the Seven Star Sword Maiden here, Jishi Pharmacy will basically have no problems.
Moreover, in Chang'an City, no one would provoke Jishi Pharmacy as long as they were not fools.
Almost everyone knows that Jishi Pharmacy is Yang Si’s property. To provoke Yang Si? Are you tired of living?
Yang Si went back to the palace to meet his grandfather Yang Dingyue, and then led people to Weihe County.
...
In the afternoon and evening of that day, Yang Si took Chu Yi and Zhang Yuan to the Weishui Wharf in Weihe County.
Here, the Weihe County Shenhua Division had already arranged a boat, and Yang Si and his party of five people boarded the boat and started heading to the South China Sea.
"Is there any news about the other imperial envoy?" Yang Si asked.
"Boss, the other imperial envoy is Li Zong, the Minister of Household Affairs."
"According to the intelligence, he took his people to Pengcheng, the Protector of the South China Sea, at noon, also by boat." Zhang Yuan answered.
Hearing this, Yang Si frowned and glanced at Chu Yi.
Pengcheng, the Protector of the South China Sea, was Chu Yi's home and the former Zhennan General's Mansion.
Chu Yi was wearing a veil so her expression could not be seen.
Yang Si hesitated slightly. Originally, because of Chu Yi, Yang Si was planning to go to Pengcheng to see what the Chu family was like.
Although Pengcheng is not actually the most serious place, weird situations do occur, and the situation should be able to be investigated.
But now that another imperial envoy has passed by, it is no longer easy for me to go to the same place with him.
But Yang Si was also a little confused, why did Li Zong's imperial envoy go to Pengcheng?
It stands to reason that the most severely affected area in the South China Sea is Yicheng near the Western Border. Normally, as an imperial envoy, shouldn't the first place he goes to be the most severely affected area? Why did he go to protect Pengcheng?
Moreover, according to Yang Er's explanation, the imperial envoy Li Zong did not know the existence of his secret imperial envoy.
Originally Xia Shouren did not plan to arrange two imperial envoys, but this time the situation is serious. If there is no grain harvest in the South China Sea this year, famine will definitely break out. Moreover, the South China Sea is like spring all year round, and it has always been an important grain production in Daxia. base.
The situation in the Western Region is relatively better. Famine will not happen, but tax revenue will definitely be affected.
Daxia is currently at war with the Three Holy Kingdoms. Domestic tax revenue is affected, and another famine will definitely make things worse.
So after that imperial envoy set off, Xia Shouren thought for a while and decided that it would be better to send another imperial envoy there.
Then Xia Shouren thought of Yang Si, his nephew, who had performed particularly well in these major events in Chang'an City during this period.
With strength, means, and wisdom all on the line, he was definitely the perfect candidate for the secret imperial mission this time. Xia Shouren immediately issued a secret order to Yang Er.
Now that Yang Si is working in the Divine Catcher Division, he can just go directly to Chief Catcher Yang Er.
Originally, Yang Erxun had finished his work and went to Jishi Pharmacy to find Yang Si. Unexpectedly, Yang Si directly "delivered to the door" himself.
Therefore, in this case, Li Zong was not notified about the second imperial envoy.
Yang Si thought for a while and didn't know what Li Zong was thinking, but since Li Zong went to protect Pengcheng, he couldn't go.
"Let's go to Yicheng." Yang Si glanced at Chu Yi.
After all, Yicheng is the place where the situation is most serious. If Li Zong doesn't go, he has to go and take a look.
Chu Yi met Yang Si's eyes: "It's okay, it's important to investigate the situation of this matter clearly now."
After all, Chu Yi is also the daughter of General Zhennan, and she still has a good understanding of the big picture of right and wrong.
Yang Si nodded slightly: "If the matter can be resolved smoothly, we will go to Pengcheng on our return trip."
"Okay!" Chu Yi nodded in agreement, and she naturally felt Yang Si's wish.
...
Daxia Nanhai Yicheng is close to the western border of Daxia and borders the Buddhist country next door.
This time, the worst-hit area was the worst. According to intelligence, half of the field crops in Yicheng were not harvested, and a good part of them were already rotting in the fields.
Yicheng is nearly 1,600 kilometers away from Chang'an City. If you take the land route, you don't know how long it will take to get there.
Fortunately, starting from Chang'an City, the waterway to the South China Sea is developed, and it is all along the river. With a favorable wind, it can travel more than 20 kilometers in an hour.
However, the direction of the wind is unpredictable, and it is impossible to maintain a favorable wind at all times, so on average, it is only about 20 kilometers per hour.
And the boat is not a horse. The water is always flowing. The horses need to rest, but the boat does not need to. It can be sailed all the way down the river. It is sailing twenty-four hours a day. It only needs to arrange for people to take turns at the helm.
Moreover, Yang Si's boat was a specialized boat of the Great Xia Imperial Court's Divine Catching Division. It was not difficult to travel thousands of miles down the river, and it also had a dedicated helmsman.
It takes more than 1,600 kilometers, which is 3,200 miles, and it will take Yang Si and others three days at most to reach Yicheng.
...
Daxia Nanhai, Yicheng.
Jiangbei County, as the name suggests, is north of the river and close to the river, which is the most suitable for farming.
A large area of mature crops is swaying gently with the autumn wind in the field.
The main crop in Daxia is millet. This is the golden autumn, the harvest season. Normally at this time, the fields are full of busy people.
But now, the millet in many places has been ripe and fallen, and no one is managing it. There are only a few fields where women and children are harvesting.
Among them, there are many government servants from Jiangbei County helping to collect grain.
But there are still too few people.
At this time, not only the government officials in Jiangbei County were helping to collect grain.
The Jiangbei County Magistrate, Chen Tong, was also wearing civilian clothes at the moment, holding a sickle and helping to harvest millet like an old farmer.
At this time, a speedboat came rapidly down the river not far away.
There were four or five people standing on the bow of the boat.
It was Yang Si and others who came all the way down the river from Chang'an City.
"Ahead of the shore, there are people harvesting the fields on the edge. Those should be government officials."
"Let's go ask what's going on."
Yang Si looked at the fields by the river.
Then the ship began to slow down, and the sailors on the ship were all low-level warriors. Although they were not formal warriors, they were much stronger than ordinary people.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to stop flowing downstream.
