Chapter 742: Yunxiao’s Sand Control! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

After hearing Qiongying's self-introduction, Wu Li remembered that Qiu Shen, a wealthy man from Fenyang, who he had killed on Tian Hu's orders many years ago, was Qiongying's father.

He wanted to say something else, but the poison became stronger and stronger, and he finally vomited a large mouthful of blood and ended his life in a daze.

Looking back on his life, I don't know whether Wu Li regretted killing Qiu Shen or regretting adopting Qiongying.

But whether he regretted it or not, it couldn't change Qiongying's determination to take revenge.

After killing Wu Li's family in the name of sending tea, Zhang Qing asked someone to call Wu Li's men who led the troops to the Marshal's Mansion and killed them as well.

Throughout the whole process, Zhang Qing served as an assistant and tried his best to help Qiongying, which made Qiongying very happy:

"I killed so many people overnight, will you dislike me for being a murderer?"

Zhang Qing said seriously:

"You killed people who deserved to die. The more you kill, the happier I am. As for whether you are a murderer, it is not important. Besides, is there a murderer as good-looking as you?"

Qiongying did not expect this guy to say sweet words:

"Don't be so slick, business is important, hurry up and signal the master outside the field."

Zhang Qing nodded, took out a firework from his arms, and after lighting it, a cluster of fireworks suddenly rushed into the sky, exploded suddenly, and illuminated the entire night sky.

After the launch, the couple planned to take Wu Li's waist badge and take over the command of the camp as agreed.

On the way, Qiongying asked:

"My husband, since we live in a vernacular novel, did I succeed in my revenge in the original novel?"

"I did, and the method was similar to this. I poisoned Wu Li and tricked Tian Hu into coming here and captured him alive. Later, I managed to open the gate of the Weisheng Army and captured Tian Hu's brothers Tian Bao and Tian Biao alive. I was the chief contributor to the suppression of Tian Hu."

Qiongying took off the water bag around her waist and took a big sip of water, then asked:

"What do people in the real world think of this plot?"

"They all praised you as a heroine who is determined to take revenge and the number one female hero in Water Margin."

He said a lot of compliments, and Qiongying's mood finally calmed down.

"What about my husband? Does anyone praise him?"

Zhang Qing's expression was a little more helpless:

"Some people praise me, and some people scold me. For example, a critic named Li Zhuowu said that I can only attack with flying stones, which is not exciting at all. He also said that I killed my father-in-law and mother-in-law just after getting married, and my character is worse than Dong Ping."

When Qiongying heard this, she drew out the sword she carried with her:

"Where is that person? I'm going to kill him now!"

"He was from the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years away from us... I just can't figure it out. It's clearly written in the original book that Wu Li is your father's murderer. How can my character be worse than the person who killed Cheng Taishou and occupied his daughter?"

Qiongying had just learned about Dong Ping, and felt that it was a sin for Dongping Prefecture to have such a scumbag. If she had the chance, she would definitely use her flying stones to send Dong Ping to his death.

She was afraid that Zhang Qing would be sulking all the time, so she comforted him:

"My husband is a martial arts expert and handsome man. That person must be jealous of you, so he made such comments on purpose."

Zhang Qing waved his hand:

"Don't worry, my lady, I won't get angry with such a person. Let future generations judge my merits and demerits. I am only responsible for living with you."

He had a good attitude and didn't take such comments to heart at all.

When they arrived at the camp, the two tricked the camp gate open and quickly controlled the main general inside. At the same time, Gongsun Sheng and others held Wu Li's token and tricked the city gate open.

When Lin Chong led the cavalry into Xiangyuan City, everything was settled.

When the shouts and cries of killing were heard in the city, Gongsun Sheng handed a lucky cat pendant to Ou Peng:

"Now that Wu Li is dead, you can follow the defeated soldiers to the Weisheng Army in the name of Wu Li's deputy steward. There you should have the opportunity to go undercover in Xixia."

Zhang Qing and Qiongying originally wanted to go undercover in the Weisheng Army, but Lin Chong disagreed with his apprentice taking this risk, and finally arranged for Ou Peng, who was full of undercover strategies, to go.

Wu Li's sister married Tian Hu, and now Wu Li's family is all dead, leaving only Ou Peng who risked his life to go back and report the news.

As long as Ou Peng can show his martial arts, he will naturally be taken seriously. When Xixia comes to ask for people, he will jump out and say some "inside information", and the Xixia people will definitely ask for more details.

After a while, this way, you can meet the Xixia princess!

In order to prevent Ou Peng from getting into trouble, Niu Gao would pretend to be defeated and lead his bandit officers to defeat the Weisheng Army and stir up trouble there in advance.

For example, he would spread some rumors that the Han army was invincible, that the Han army had the help of gods, and that those who were killed by the Han army would only be reincarnated as pigs and dogs in the next life.

This kind of "rumor" may not be useful in scaring high-level officers, but it is sure to scare the soldiers who participated in the war.

Especially when it comes to the afterlife and descendants, it is definitely what they fear the most.

After one night, the war in Xiangyuan City had basically subsided, and Lin Chong, who was dressed in armor, also met Zhang Qing and Qiongying, who had just got married.

He took a pair of gold ornaments as a wedding gift to his apprentice.

Zhang Qing and Qiongying knelt down as apprentices to serve tea to Lin Chong, which moved the nearly forty-year-old Lin Chong to tears.

In the real world, Li Yu sat on the supplies in the warehouse, looking through the list of items sent by Zhuge Liang. Dong Cheng was very willing to accept them, covering all aspects of industry, agriculture and people's livelihood.

Zhuge Liang said:

"Uncle Guo would like to ask you if the match factory that will be built soon can be located in Beidi County. He wants to organize the local people to do some profitable handicrafts."

Li Yu thought for a while and rejected the request:

"Beidi County is too remote, and it is inconvenient to transport the finished matches. Moreover, an administrator is required to go there frequently to collect raw materials. Let him focus on education and planting first, and provide food and clothing before talking about anything else."

Zhuge Liang asked:

"Where do you plan to put the match factory, sir?"

"Chang'an! Find a place to build a light industrial zone. First, support the status of Chang'an. When the industry matures, then transfer part of the industry to Luoyang. The road from Chang'an to Luoyang must be repaired as soon as possible. It should be wider and better. Four lanes in both directions to avoid traffic congestion.”

Li Yu has ordered a large number of solid tires. When they are shipped to the book world, they will be able to improve the ancient carriages.

Nowadays, all industries in the real world have overcapacity, and some marginalized industries are even in a state of collapse. As long as you give them money, they can process whatever they want.

Just open any purchasing website and you can easily buy tires, axles, shock absorbers, bearings and other accessories for making carriages.

With these accessories and the frame welded in the industrial area, a carriage with a carrying capacity of more than one ton is ready.

Li Yu said to Zhuge Liang:

"The ancient people seemed to be very taboo on four-wheeled carriages, thinking that four-wheeled carriages were used to transport people to death. We should try to reverse this concept and make four-wheeled carriages become the mainstream as soon as possible."

"Okay sir, I will write a memorial and publicize this matter when I get back."

It's amazing that a two-wheeled carriage can transport several hundred kilograms of cargo, while the cargo capacity of a four-wheeled carriage can easily reach over a thousand kilograms. With shock absorption, one ton is not a problem.

The impact of changing the carriage is huge. It can not only improve efficiency, but also save a lot of human resources.

Of course, the failure of four-wheeled carriages to spread in ancient times was mainly related to the roads. The road conditions were too poor to travel. Therefore, over time, they were eliminated from the ranks of daily vehicles and became a "hearse" specially used for princes' funerals.

Li Yu has traveled to Ningxia, but he has never seen Beidi County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty:

"Is the land there seriously desertified?"

"It's not serious. Except for the desert area, other places are no different from Guanzhong. Teacher Sun is explaining to Uncle Guo the importance of consolidating water and preventing sand. He also plans to let Uncle Guo develop tourism."

Li Yu's head was filled with black threads:

"Does this guy want to do anything else on Alxa Night?"

"That's not true. Teacher Sun was talking about a project like sandboarding, and named it Warrior Challenge. He also left a sentence saying that Helan is not a hero, and asked my uncle to carve it on Helan Mountain to attract people from all over the world."

Not to mention, just a warrior challenge can arouse the desire to win among men. Add the sentence "Helan is not a hero", and the entire Han Dynasty's famous civil servants and generals will most likely check in in the future.

No way, this is the publicity effect and celebrity effect.

Li Yu planned to buy some sandboards online and let Dong Cheng experience them first.

In order to improve Dong Cheng's enthusiasm, Li Yu drew a big cake for him:

"As long as the road from Beidi County to the oil base and Chang'an is built within a year, we will invest in a noodle factory in Beidi County in the future... The air there is dry, which can be used to produce noodles."

Instead of a match factory, there is a noodle factory. Going back to buy two sets of salt-making equipment, Dong Cheng is definitely very motivated.

Li Yu took the list, crossed out all the equipment that was shipped, and then said:

"Water pumps and other equipment will arrive in the next two days. You can transport all the power panels in the photovoltaic power plant warehouse tonight. You should be able to transport ten wind turbines, which is enough for irrigation water in Lingzhou, Lian County. In addition, we will dig more Build canals and reservoirs to increase water storage, so we won’t have to worry about droughts in the future.”

Zhuge Liang wrote it down one by one and planned to explain it clearly to Dong Cheng when he returned there to stimulate the uncle's motivation.

After talking about business, Li Yu planned to go to the kitchen to make dinner:

"Let Sun Facai watch for a while. He is still wandering around Beidi County at the moment. Be careful that he will not be able to make it to Chang'an when Erlang gets married and will not be able to attend the wedding."

"Teacher Sun is counting the time. After we finish our business in Helan Mountain, we will head south. Once we leave Beidi County, we will reach Guanzhong. It seems far away, but it is actually very close. We won't miss the New Year's Day wedding."

Beidi County is long and narrow from north to south. The southern end is less than 100 kilometers away from Chang'an, while the northernmost end is adjacent to Shuofang County, spanning thousands of miles. It is a typical strategic hub.

Starting from the Western Han Dynasty, once Beidi County was lost, the entire Liangzhou would fall into the hands of foreigners. In the late Han Dynasty, the ownership of Beidi County was a barometer of the rule of the Han Dynasty.

For example, the Bald Tree Functional Rebellion was first planned in Beidi County, and even once regarded the Yellow River Basin in Beidi County as its base.

The land here is fertile and the climate is warm. When winter comes, Helan Mountain becomes a barrier from the cold and is a geomantic treasure land coveted by foreigners.

In addition to the bald Xianbei occupying this place, later Dangxiang people also regarded the southern foot of Helan Mountain as their base. Genghis Khan was obsessed with this place and failed to obtain the land in Ningxia several times. Therefore, before his death, this old climber He left his last words and asked his descendants to kill all the party members who broke their promises.

Zhuge Liang asked:

"The aliens are obsessed with this place, not just because of Feng Shui, right?"

Li Yu shook his head:

"That's definitely not the case. The main reason is that they couldn't take the Central Plains or Guanzhong, so they had to settle for the second best. Taking Ningxia, which is closer to the Central Plains, can be regarded as a kind of psychological compensation... Genghis Khan was angry with the Dangxiang people because he felt that it was okay for him to not take the goddess, but he was fooled by the spare tire several times. It's normal that he couldn't swallow this breath."

The two favorite pieces of land of the foreign races are the southern foot of the Helan Mountains where Ningxia is located, and the southern foot of the Yin Mountains in Jiuyuan. Both are in the Yellow River Basin, with fertile land and lush grasslands, and both have mountains to block the severe cold.

Unfortunately, from now on, the land here belongs only to the Han people.

The foreign races should not even think about getting involved, even they themselves belong to the Han people.

After chatting, Zhuge Liang loaded a car of pickles from the warehouse and drove back to the Three Kingdoms world.

As soon as he appeared, Dong Cheng came over:

"How? Can the match factory be settled in our Beidi County?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head:

"Sir, you should solve the problems of education and food and clothing first, open more schools and plant more land, and repair the roads in your spare time. As long as you can build the road to Chang'an and the oil base within a year, I will invest in a noodle factory for you."

Hearing this, Dong Cheng rubbed his hands excitedly:

"No problem, we will immediately gather the people to start building the road, and send an ultimatum to the foreigners settled in Beidi County, either come to build the road obediently, or be forced to build the road by the army."

During the late Han Dynasty, Beidi County was already a typical mixed area of ​​Han and Hu.

For the Hu people in the territory, Dong Cheng mainly conquered them, supplemented by appeasement. The goal was very clear, that is, to use the carrot and stick strategy to make the foreigners contribute more and work more.

Sun Facai picked up the supplies brought by Zhuge Liang and muttered:

"Brother Yu has really changed after having four wives. He used to remember to bring me a Daokou roast chicken, but now he has nothing... It's really not good to marry four wives. I will only have one wife and two concubines in the future. If I have more, I might become like Brother Yu who forgets his loyalty for the sake of beauty..."

While this guy was nagging, two roast chickens wrapped in kraft paper appeared in front of him. Then, Yunxiao descended from the sky and asked with a smile:

"Brother Facai, what were you talking about just now?"

Sun Facai quickly changed the subject and praised Li Yu:

"I'm saying that Brother Yu is great. He married a good woman like the fourth sister-in-law. He must have saved the entire universe in his previous life. He not only married four good wives, but also a good brother like me...Brother Liang, don't just stand there, hurry up and praise him."

This kid, isn't he usually very perceptive? Why is he dumb when it comes to saving the situation?

Zhuge Liang was watching the excitement. When he heard Sun Facai call his name, he bowed to Yunxiao and saluted:

"Greetings to the Fourth Master's Wife. Lian County has not had any rain for nearly a month. The farmland is dry. If the Fourth Master's Wife can send down the rain, the people will be grateful."

After saying that, he winked at Dong Cheng, who quickly saluted and promised to build a statue for the Holy Son's Wife as soon as possible.

When Yunxiao heard this, he took a lot of water from the Yangtze River and sent down the rain to the entire Beidi County. At the same time, he also picked some grass seeds from the Conferred God World and sprinkled them on the edge of the desert.

The desert, which was originally filled with yellow sand, soon had a green grass belt about one kilometer wide.

Yunxiao ordered:

"Arrange people to water regularly. These grasses will spread and grow in the desert. When it needs rain, pray in front of my statue. Within half a day, there will be rain."

Dong Cheng faced this miracle for the first time. He was so happy that he was at a loss. He nodded and agreed repeatedly. He even planned to set up a rain praying officer to be responsible for praying for rain from Yunxiao.

Sun Facai took out a folded small flower umbrella from the car, opened it, and asked Yunxiao:

"Fourth sister-in-law, the Dragon King of Jinghe River was beheaded for a little rain. You just casually sent down heavy rain, won't the Heavenly Court care?"

Yunxiao said:

"It is the Dragon King's duty to send down rain. The Heavenly Court has the final say on how much rain to send down. When I send down rain, I take the water from the human world and send it down to the human world. It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. If they want to intervene, I don't mind killing a few righteous gods to help them wake up."

She is only one step away from becoming a saint. The Heavenly Court is too busy trying to avoid her. Who dares to intervene?

Sun Facai flattered from the bottom of his heart:

"Fourth sister-in-law is really amazing. How about letting my son Maoer recognize you as his godmother? We are already a family. Now let's make it even closer. Let my son Maoer feel more maternal love."

You are really good at making connections... Yunxiao nodded:

"Okay, no problem, I recognize this godson."

She set the range and rainfall of the Yangtze River water she fetched, and prepared to leave to the Western Regions to investigate Zhu Jun, Su Ze and others.

When Sun Facai heard that she was leaving, he hurriedly said:

"Fourth sister-in-law, I was so inspired yesterday that I suddenly wrote a poem. Can you help me send it to Su Ze... I heard that he regarded Lao Lu as his confidant, so I will also write a poem to feel the joy of being regarded as a confidant."

After saying that, this guy took out the poem he wrote yesterday from his arms and handed it to Yunxiao, who was happy when he saw it:

"The desert is full of smoke, the long river is full of sunset... Is this the poem you wrote?"

"That's how Lao Lu's poem came from. Fourth sister-in-law, don't forget to give it to Su Ze. While he doesn't understand what's going on, I will try my best to get as many fans as possible."

"Okay!"

Yunxiao accepted the paper and reminded:

"When Cao Cao surrenders, you can accept Cao Zhi as your apprentice."

Sun Facai's eyes lit up:

"This is a good idea. Thank you for reminding me, Fourth sister-in-law!"

After Yunxiao left, Sun Facai took out a bottle of Erguotou from the car with a small flower umbrella, and sat under the eaves with Dong Cheng, enjoying the rain outside while drinking wine and eating roast chicken.

Yunxiao was hidden in the sky. Just as she was about to go to the Western Regions, she found that the Tengger Desert in Wuwei County had a tendency to expand. She directly transferred some river water from the Pearl River, set the range, time and rainfall of the rainfall, and then left.

From today, the Tengger Desert will rain for two hours every day.

Although the rainfall is not large, it is enough to give birth to some weeds and plants. In time, an oasis will definitely develop.

After doing all this, she stepped across to the Western Regions and began to inspect Zhu Jun's political achievements on behalf of Li Yu...
