When we came out of Zhenyisi, one night had passed, and the sun had already risen the next day.
When Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing returned, they also stopped by the Lushui River God's Mansion to inform the Zhu Yushan family about the matter, and then returned to Shaotong Mountain together.
"I see, it's really because of the flooding that a storm is coming!"
In the backyard of Baiyunguan, Taoist priest Ming Zhang leaned on Lu Zheng's filial chair, squinted his eyes, swayed in the sun, and took a leisurely sip of tea without any worry at all.
Yuan Jing blinked, "Aren't you worried?"
"Is there any use in worrying?" Taoist Master Mingzhang casually pointed out, "The imperial court must have thought more carefully than you. Instead of worrying unnecessarily, it is better to practice quietly and wait for the time."
"Yes!" Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing bowed to receive instructions.
…
After having lunch with Taoist Master Mingzhang and Yuan Jing, Lu Zheng returned to the county seat. He first went to Renxin Hall to tell Liu Qingyan about the matter, and then returned home to travel through modern times.
"Lu Lang!"
After traveling through time, he saw Shen Ying lying on the sofa watching a TV series, and Si Lingxi sitting next to him holding a book and reading.
Seeing Lu Zheng traveling through time, Si Lingxi looked up, and Shen Ying also picked up the remote control, pressed the pause button, looked at Lu Zheng and asked, "Lu Lang, what happened?"
Logically speaking, Lu Zheng should have brought Liu Qingyan back for dinner last night.
"I helped Mr. Liu catch a toad because of the flood." Lu Zheng told him what happened last night.
Shen Ying narrowed her eyes, "I don't dare to confront the imperial court. I only dare to secretly add fuel to the flames and aggravate the flood, causing the people to suffer. How can I be considered a hero!"
Si Lingxi shook her head and said, "They are not heroes to begin with, and... heroes focus on the overall situation and may not care about specific people."
What Si Lingxi said made sense, and Shen Ying was unable to refute it for a while.
Having said this, Si Lingxi raised the book in her hand and shook it, "Speaking of it, although the Chinese civilization has a short history, it has many outstanding people. Many articles make sense, such as this sentence, "The people are happy, the people are suffering," Death, the suffering of the people, it can be said that the sorrow of the ordinary people has been exhausted."
Lu Zheng followed Si Lingxi's movement of raising her hand and saw the name of the book.
"Guanwen Guanzhi"
Awesome!
Lu Zheng couldn't help but be in awe!
Not to mention "Gu Wen Guan Zhi", he has not even read "Three Hundred Tang Poems and Song Ci" until now. He usually pretends to be good, relying on the little foundation he gained in primary and secondary schools.
"But I think the lives of ordinary people in China are pretty good." Shen Ying said, "Not to mention, industrialization and modernization are indeed a good thing for ordinary people."
"That also depends on the overall environment." Lu Zheng shrugged and said, "The environment in China is very peaceful, and the places where there are wars are not much better."
"That's true." Shen Ying nodded, "For example, the people of Da Jing Dynasty have a better life than the people of Damascus and Baghdad here in Blue Star. At least they can have enough food and clothing."
"Speaking of which..."
Si Lingxi raised her head and asked Lu Zheng, "Have you prepared a batch of food for the people in Dajing who are about to suffer from floods?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "Yes, it's rice, which was considered a refined grain in the Jing Dynasty."
"correct!"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but patted his forehead, "Dajing suffered a flood. Although some people caused trouble, it was also caused by a natural disaster. Phoenix Mountain is located in southern Xinjiang, and many people under my command will also be affected. I'm sorry, I forgot before, I will prepare another batch !”
Si Lingxi smiled when she heard this, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, there are less fights in the Phoenix Mountain area, and even if there are some floods, the impact will not be big.
I'm not asking Lu Lang for food. I want to ask if I can bring some of the high-yielding crops cultivated here in Blue Star back to Dajing? "
"Of course!" Lu Zheng nodded immediately.
"However, these high-yielding crops mostly rely on the help of modern fertilizers, and only the first generation of seeds are high-yield, and the second and third generations will become less and less." Lu Zheng reminded.
"I know." Si Lingxi nodded, "But even so, the yield per mu of high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes is several times higher than the yield of crops in the Phoenix Mountains."
"Indeed!"
"Then can I take some back?" Si Lingxi asked.
"sure!"
Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Actually, I thought about taking this food to Dajing before.
It’s just that my cultivation was too weak, and I was worried about attracting the attention of the court when it came to the people’s meals. Secondly, Dajing’s land was vast, and the people relied on mountains and rivers to eat, so they wouldn’t be hungry in normal years, so I didn’t Thinking about it. "
"I see."
Si Lingxi nodded and said, "However, southern Xinjiang has more mountains, more water, and less plains, making farming difficult. It would be a good thing to have more high-yielding crops."
"Take, take, take!" Lu Zheng said repeatedly, "Buy more seeds and take them back, and also buy some rice and flour to take back to Phoenix Mountain."
"In that case, thank you very much Lu Lang." Si Lingxi said with a smile.
Lu Zheng also smiled and said, "I'm happy to be able to help you."
Shen Ying clapped her hands and smiled, "These crops are so high-yield, they will gradually spread. Even if someone searches for the root, they can only find Phoenix Mountain. I guess they don't dare to find trouble with Sister Lingxi."
Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi both laughed when they heard this.
"In that case, I'll call again to order a batch of seeds, and I'll go to Phoenix Mountain when they arrive."
"good!"
So Lu Zheng called the person in charge of the grain storage depot introduced to him by Liu Zhenming, and then met the person in charge of selling grain seeds.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Zheng had transferred several million, in exchange for a warehouse of grain and a large amount of crop seeds.
…
In the afternoon, Lu Zheng picked up Liu Qingyan and came back. Just after introducing the things here, Lin Wan came home from get off work. The first thing she said was, "There is news about the bronze sheep head statue."
"Oh? Finally there is news!" Lu Zheng couldn't help but his eyes moved, "Where is it?"
Si Lingxi and the three girls all looked at Lin Wan. They also knew that period of history and what the bronze goat-headed statue represented.
Among the twelve zodiac bronze heads, only one is left in its place.
"Still in Europe." Lin Wan said, "The clue points to a secret sect in Europe."
"Why is it a secret sect again?" Lu Zheng asked speechlessly. He still remembered that the bronze statue of the snake head was in the hands of a cult sect in the Lighthouse Country that worshiped the snake in the Garden of Eden.
Why is the bronze goat-headed statue also in the hands of the cult?
The so-called secret sects are, of course, secret underground sects. Nine times out of ten, they are all evil cults.
Lin Wan shrugged, "Have you forgotten, what is the image of Satan in the West?"
Lu Zheng suddenly realized, "It has goat's horns!"
"Yes!" Lin Wan nodded fiercely.
Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly, "Why did our twelve zodiac animals become the mascots of these evil sects when they went to foreign countries..."
