Chapter 1614: White Bone Bowl.
"It doesn't sound difficult. Is it difficult to remember?"
"It's not difficult to remember. How about you come?"
Wei Chou hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately. He kept a cautious eye on it and said, "How many have you remembered?"
"Ninety years."
Wei Chou was stunned: "How much?"
"Ninety years, there are still four hundred and twenty years left, but she also asked people to move the county records of Dajiang County. Dajiang County is a relatively new county with only two hundred years of history. There are not many county records left. It should not be difficult to check. You Come?"
Wei Yan didn't even bother to write the note. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no."
Liu Wei, who was in charge of the case, slammed the table and scolded: "Have you finished remembering it? You are so free to laugh and laugh?"
Zhong Ziyu's hair stood on end and he quickly said, "I'll make room for Wei Chou."
Wei Chou nodded and hunched over, and then echoed: "Yes, make room, make room."
Liu Wei finally said nothing, and the only sound in the room was the sound of turning books.
The job Liu Wei asked Zhong Ziyu to do is actually very simple, which is to fill in the database. This is something that anyone who can read can do. Although it sounds complicated, it has no technical content. What she herself was checking was the Zhenyang Kingdom. Related information about the original Zhenyang State.
The interest in Zhenyang Prefecture originated from the words of Magistrate Song five days ago. Those words were completely unintentional, but they did open up another way of thinking for Liu Wei.
Dajiang County is a small county in the lower reaches of Baishanzhou. Due to a large-scale flood more than a hundred years ago, the entire town was destroyed. After reconstruction, part of the geology was incorporated into Xijin County.
The original county records of Dajiang County, except for those preserved in the prefecture's treasury, ceased to exist when the flood occurred. Now, the ones Liu Wei had people move here were preserved in Baishanzhou and were later sent to the west. Jin County, the part restored by the magistrate of Xijin County.
The content is not much, only about twenty volumes.
The reason why Liu Wei investigated Dajiang County was because the Dajiang County at that time was the county near Liangjiang and the closest to Zhenyang Prefecture. Although it was later flooded, according to old records, the original Dajiang County was not the same as the previous one. There are a lot of trade exchanges in Zhenyang State.
Dajiang County is the central county between Baishan Continent and Zhenyang Prefecture. The county is almost suspended on a small island. Zhenyang Prefecture is too far away from the land and is inconvenient to travel, so it is particularly barren. Dajiang County has opened a two-way trade, which is to trade the special products of Zhenyang State with the rice, grain, flour and noodles of Xianyan State.
The destruction of Dajiang County was also the main factor that indirectly caused the rebellion in Zhenyang Prefecture. Because of the loss of the trade direction of Dajiang County, Zhenyang Prefecture fell into a large-scale food shortage. At that time, the Xianyan Kingdom also thought about relief, but suddenly The waterway is too far, and there is no stopping port in the middle. The official ship enters the deep river and is easily robbed by bandits. Secondly, it helps the emergency but not the poor. In the first year, it can still send food and winter clothes. In the second and third years, if This happens every year, even if the imperial court has mountains of gold and silver, it still has to be defeated.
After considering all aspects, when the Mula tribe led troops to rebel, two factions emerged within the court. One faction did not allow the Xianyan territory to flow out, and did not allow the country to be divided. The other group believes that people's livelihood is more important than anything else. If the Mula tribe can lead the people to have enough food and clothing after occupying Zhenyang Prefecture, and they don't have to wait for food every year, then giving up Zhenyang Prefecture will be beneficial to the people. It outweighs the disadvantages.
Facts have proved that the people who saved the tens of millions of people in Zhenyang Province are indeed the Mula tribe. It is impossible for the Xianyan Kingdom to show weakness and make friends with the Deep Sea Yi Kingdom, which has been fighting for many years, for the sake of a mere Zhenyang State. But Zhenyang State After the split, the leader of the Mula clan, holding the title of the new king of the Zhenyang State, developed trade relations with all the tribes on the sea. It was precisely because of his reorganized trade that he saved the dying people of the Zhenyang State.
There are still different opinions on whether this matter is good or bad, but in Liu Wei's view, it is indeed a bit unbelievable for a huge country to take the initiative to divide a piece of national territory.
It was precisely because of this that she became more interested in Zhenyang Country, and at the same time, she dug out Dajiang County to find out everything.
And this investigation did allow her to find something.
The geographical location of Dajiang County and the direction of the flood are very strange.
On Wei Chou's third day as a coolie, Liu Wei stood up from behind her main case. She held a rather old sea map in her hand and announced to the two sleepy people under the window: "We will set off tomorrow. , into Liangjiang."
…
On the same night, Rong Leng, who was far away in Laicheng County Post House, also entered Ji Nanzheng's room with a book of Yun family history.
"A stinging beast with a tail bone?" Ji Nanzheng looked at a picture of a sea creature included in the family history and wondered: "What is this?"
"A ferocious beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It eats people, swallows blood, can fly into the clouds and ride in the mist, and captivates the mind."
Ji Nanzheng blinked: "Then what?"
Rong Leng pointed to the looming town behind the sea monster on the map: "Dajiang County was overturned a hundred years ago. It once stood on the two rivers and was built on the island. It was glorious for a while."
Ji Nanzheng frowned.
Rong Leng added: "This picture was painted by the ancestors of the Yun family when they woke up from a dream. When painting, they made it clear that the stinging beasts in the dream were ups and downs, turning the earth upside down, making it difficult for the people to live, and leaving corpses everywhere, so the dream was really terrifying. It was thrilling, so when I woke up from the dream, I drew it to record it.”
Ji Nanzheng still didn't understand: "The ancestors of the wolf clan drew such a picture to tell future generations that a town standing on the sea would be overturned by this sea monster and be destroyed for a while? Sea monster? Seriously?"
Rong Leng shook his head: "People in the old days used to use supernatural powers to explain the collapse of mountains and cracks of the earth. In fact, Dajiang County was not caused by a sea monster, but because of a flood, the entire island was submerged in the deep sea."
Ji Nanzheng nodded and asked: "How do you know that this is Dajiang County?"
Ji Nanzheng had also heard about the affairs of Dajiang County and Zhenyang Prefecture. After all, he had been a senior official for decades. Even if he didn't ask about such major events related to the national system, there would always be anecdotes.
Rong Leng pointed to the corner of the broken town behind the sea monster. There was a memorial archway there. Only half of the plaque was left, but if you look closely, you can still see the word Dajiang.
Ji Nanzheng touched his chin: "So what do you mean?"
Rong Leng sat opposite his grandfather and took out two silk bags from his arms. He opened one of the bags, and fine white sand flowed out, while the other bag was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
Ji Nanzheng was puzzled: "What is this?"
"The holy object of Zhenyang Country, the little snake said, this is called 'Bone Bowl'."
Ji Nanzheng was stunned: "You melted the holy object into sand?"
Rong Leng remained calm and changed the subject: "The earthen jar, I didn't think it was strange before, but later I found that there were marks on the jewels, and then I melted the jar, and then I realized that there was another deep meaning."
"What is the deep meaning?"
"The jar is made of ashes, and the jewels inlaid on the jar are all engraved with deep marks, and those deep marks are also recorded in more than half of the Yun family records."
