Chapter 83 Arrival at Chao County
"So what should the prince do now?"
Yao Chi lowered her voice and said, "There are too many things going on right now. The Crown Prince is being held in the side rooms. Father has abolished his position as Crown Prince. It's still unknown how to deal with him next."
Yao Chi picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and continued, "Besides, it's a turbulent time right now. Yesterday, I heard from my mother that the Great Jin in the north has already crossed the border of Liang State and is heading towards the northern border of Daxia."
Jiang Yue was confused, "Why is this?"
“That’s because Dajin also suffered a disaster, but the difference was that they were plagued by locusts.
All the vegetation was eaten up, and the grasslands could not withstand the waves of insect plagues.
But to their east are mountains that are difficult to cross. Knowing that Liang had moved its capital and that our border troops had been withdrawn, they decided to cross through our two countries."
Jiang Yue nodded, that was really understandable.
"Now do you know where Dajin is?"
“The Great Jin marched very quickly, mostly on horseback, and their imperial tents were simpler than ours.
I heard that they have crossed the northern border and passed Kyoto.
However, their route has been changed directly eastward from Kyoto, so they shouldn't run into us."
The two chatted and laughed while finishing their meal. Yuqiu, who was beside Concubine Liang, came over to report that the fleet would set off in another hour.
The two of them quickly packed up.
Jiang Yue didn't have anything to pack, so she said something to Xiao Zhu and went back to the inner room, placing a rocking chair next to the bed.
She lay down and took out her cell phone to read a novel. Ever since she met her aunt, she felt that she was getting lazier and no longer had to worry about danger or supplies.
It's so lazy that someone has to take care of me all the way.
Sailing is faster than traveling by land, and it takes about two days to reach Chaoxian Wharf.
I don’t know whether the severe convective weather has affected Chaoxian County.
Concubine Liang has been playing mahjong with other concubines these two days and has made a lot of money.
Unfortunately, this thing is addictive. The concubines would rather lose money than play it, and finally asked the craftsman to make two more sets.
Jiang Yue went to her aunt's house twice a day to pay her respects and visit, and then she would use the excuse of making medicine and stay in her room without coming out.
Hongmei came to report that they would arrive at Chaoxian Wharf in the evening, and Concubine Liang asked her to prepare to go ashore and feel more at ease on the ground.
Jiang Yue also got a piece of inside information that Emperor Mingde would go ashore to Chao County to understand the situation.
Now the rain has stopped and the temperature is basically back to normal.
The volcanic eruption in the northwest cannot have an impact so far, so we will stay in Chaoxian for a few more days this time.
While inquiring about the situation in the inland, he also investigated the situation in Liang State in the north. If the natural disaster had passed, there would be no need to go to the Southern Barbarians.
Jiang Yue felt that they couldn't stop here. Since this book was about natural disasters, it was impossible to force people to the seaside and then let them go easily. There must be more disasters to come.
But she couldn't say anything, so she could only observe the situation first, and then check the updates of the space novel every day to obtain useful information.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the fleet finally arrived at Chaoxian Wharf. Because Chaoxian is close to the sea, the wharf is very spacious.
There are many large ships docked on the shore, and craftsmen are busy building the ships and doing final inspections.
The ships coming from Tan County docked one by one as arranged, and Jiang Yue got off the ship behind Concubine Liang.
After three days of drifting on the boat, the moment I stepped on the land, I had never missed the land under my feet so much.
It felt so good to have my feet on solid ground. Jiang Yue and Xiao Zhu helped themselves to the carriage.
Chao County is close to the sea and has unique geographical advantages.
Although this area has experienced high temperatures and little rain, there is no shortage of seafood, and there are even green plants on the roadside!
Jiang Yue quickly stopped the carriage, asked someone to tell her aunt, and then she would go there, taking Xiao Zhu with her to the peasant woman who was digging wild vegetables nearby.
Prince Rong saw them getting off the carriage from afar and hurried over, spurring his horse.
"Yue'er, why did you come down?"
Jiang Yue turned around and bowed, "Brother, I see there are a lot of plants here, I think there are some medicinal herbs we can pick.
I plan to ask the people of Chao County to collect some medicinal herbs, as I also need to make medicine."
Prince Rong dismounted and wanted to follow them, but his subordinates told him that Emperor Mingde was looking for her.
Helplessly, he called two soldiers to protect their safety.
After Jiang Yue saw him riding away on his horse, he put on his cap and ran to a few peasant women with Xiao Zhu, where they squatted down and asked two soldiers to protect them from a distance.
"Hello, sister. I'm a pharmacist who came here from Kyoto. I see there are a lot of herbs here. Could you help me pick some? The more precious herbs are more expensive."
Chao County has not suffered any natural disasters. The severe convective weather in the past two days ended before it affected here, so Chao County is not yet in a state of food shortage.
There were still many grain shops open in the city, and the county magistrate took out a batch of stored grain and sold it to the people.
In addition, every family knows how to fish and has a lot of salted food at home, so people's lives are relatively stable.
Moreover, Chao County has always been a key city for trade between Daxia and foreign countries, and there are many strange and exotic things here.
Silver is still in circulation.
Jiang Yue had only bought supplies in three towns before, and now he still had a lot of gold and silver in his hands.
It’s a pity that there are still a few boxes of banknotes, which were not spent and were wasted.
She saw these people digging wild vegetables and knew that life was not easy for the people in Chao County, so she thought of using this as an excuse to help them.
Moreover, she still needed to supply medicine later, and the fact that there was no supply of medicinal materials was also very suspicious.
It's a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone, helping them and getting medicinal herbs at the same time.
It doesn’t matter whether it is medicinal herb or not, she just needs to put it into the space.
In ancient times, information was backward and the people of Chao County did not know the importance of food today. In addition, they had plenty of food, so they were willing to exchange it for silver.
Jiang Yue looked at the two soldiers in the distance, then looked up at Xiao Zhu, who was also wearing a cap. He nodded and walked towards the two soldiers.
Jiang Yue agreed on a trading location with these peasant women and asked them to go back and tell their neighbors that she would continue to collect medicinal herbs as long as the royal fleet did not leave.
He also pointed randomly and said that any green plant could be used to make medicine, no matter the variety, just dig it up.
He took Xiaozhu and Xiaobing back to the carriage and drove into the county town.
As soon as Emperor Mingde arrived in Chao County, he became obviously busy. Jiang Yue didn't see him for two days.
Even Prince Rong and Prince An were not seen, and he was not seen during meal times.
The next day, he heard that the crown prince had been demoted to a commoner and Empress Duan was demoted to the lowest rank of concubine.
Empress Duan's brother was executed the day after the rebellion. Empress Duan knew that everything was over and she could not escape the blame, so she was reluctant to commit suicide.
Only after torturing the maidservants around her did they confess the evil things she had done over the years, including killing concubines, murdering princes, and poisoning the former queen!
Every detail was so clear that she had no way to refute it, but she still refused to plead guilty.
After being demoted to a concubine, she still wanted to assassinate Concubine Liang, but was killed by Emperor Mingde with a foot-long white silk.
