"You underestimate the strength of the loyal ministers now..." Gao Yue disagreed with Lu Qi's ambition in his heart.

When Lu Qi brought the herbs of Xingyuan Mansion's specialty, Gaomi Hou, and sailed down Hanchuan on a boat, Gao Yue also led the team to Yangzhou and headed towards Chang'an along Luogu Road.

This time he did not go with Wei Gao, because Wei Gao went from Fengzhou to Chencang Road, which was faster.

The Luogu Road he walked was a post road that was focused on the restoration of Jinzhou and Shangzhou after the revival of Jinzhou and Shangzhou, he took this road to the capital for about six hundred miles, which was about half a month.

Gao Yue and his party first walked into Yuehe Valley in Yangzhou, and finally went to the Lisuosangping Store in Huayang County, Yangzhou, and took a temporary rest.

There was a military farm in Sangpingdian, which was cultivated by the Huaixi soldiers of four villages. When Gao Yue and his party arrived, they had just harvested rice and planted the second round of winter wheat.

On the side of the road where the garrison was hosted, under several big trees, a group of soldiers arrived to provide drinking water and dry food for Shao Yin's men.

"I want to drink cooked water." When Gao Yue sat on Hu's bed, he asked the garrison official named Xu Chuanqi.

Xu Chuanqi was a little embarrassed, saying that there was no tea in the village. Now the foreign cavalry led by Huaiyi liked to eat tea, and our infantry camp did not have this thing.

Gao Yue said to him with a kind look: Who said that only sing tea can use cooked water?

Hearing this, the fields around him were also curious.

Because according to common sense, we can only use cooked water when cooking tea. On weekdays, we drink water all the time!

"Didn't you keep the wheat straw?"

"some."

"Rabbits are very useful. Keeping them to replace the wooden firewood is cheap." After Gao Yue said that, he asked Xu Chuanqi to bring the straw.

Soon, a bundle of wheat straw was brought to you, and Gao Yue asked everyone to dig out a soil stove, then stuff the wheat straw into it, lit it and cook a cup of water.

Gao Yue took the lead in filling the steaming cooked water with a cup, then blew it down after cooling it, and even said that it was delicious and the cooked water was still pleasant to drink, so he asked his entourage and other officials to drink cooked water.

To be honest, at first, this group of people were used to drinking raw water on weekdays, and they were a little uncomfortable when they drank cooked water, but after drinking several sips, they actually felt... Well, the boiling cooked water had a clean and clear beauty in their mouths, and it seemed that the more they drank, the more they became more and more addicted... There was no condiment, but it felt like a tea-like feeling when they drank it, and they couldn't stop.

"In the future, the water shop in Sangpingdian station should supply people with cooked water to drink. No, the officials, militia and merchants in Xingyuan Prefecture should drink cooked water. Drinking this can resist diseases." Gao Yue said, and then added: "Boil the water and use wheat straw as fuel."

Because he also understood that the reason why people in ancient times did not like to drink cooked water was not the case. In addition to the lack of hygiene knowledge, it was actually the economy. Cooking water requires fuel, and fuel is also money. Now, rice and wheat are mixed with seeds, which can just supplement the lack of fuel for civilians. Cooked water and cooked food can be guaranteed, and the living conditions of civilians can also be improved.

Entering Tanggu in Yangzhou, traveling for 400 miles, and going to Luogu in the south of Zhouzhi County, Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an City, where you drink cooked water along the way to achieve the effect of setting an example.

After leaving Zhouzhi County, I stopped at Qinchuan Post on the Fengshui River in the suburbs of Chang'an.

What I saw along the way was really miserable. Whether it was the fields or the trees in the capital, they were gnawed by locusts. On the roads of the fields, there were many dead hungry people. Whether it was the living people or soldiers, their faces were all blue-black and their bodies were swollen.

Qinchuan Post, as the capital's large post, is the starting point of the entire Luogu Road. Although the scale is very large, the supply of coarse wheat and bad rice is all served. As soon as Gao Yue and others got off the horse, they saw a group of black northern yamen children shouting, passing by the road next to Qinchuan Post, with the content: "The food is not available, and I want us to be the imperial guards? The food is worse than the prisoners. It is better to go to the mountain sack barracks in Zhongnan Mountain!"

Gao Yue was stunned by this.

On the one hand, the emperor was in Shang, and Deng and other places recruited people into the imperial guards, while the children of the imperial guards continued to flee into the mountains to serve as mountain guards.

At this time, a smoke and dust rose up at the northern end of the road, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves. A group of riders wearing brocade hats and armor caught up with the group of Northern Yamen who were shouting to go to Zhongnan Mountain to fall into the grass. The horse whip fell on their heads and backs, causing blood and dust to fly, which was very terrifying.

"Why are you trying to hit us?" The group of Beiya children who were almost disfigured were beaten to scream, hugged their heads and rolled around on the ground.

Gao Yue saw that the rider in charge was not Guo Zhuan! He pointed at the beating children of the North Ya with the tip of the whip and shouted: "What's the use of the Holy Lord to support you? He was going to be a thief in Zhongnan Mountain. He immediately arrested all of them in Si Jinwu's prison to punish you."

"We are so hungry that we can't help but give us a way out!"

"If you have the money and silk for rewards, go buy rice and grain to eat, can't you survive?"

The children of the Northern Yamen protested angrily and sadly: "The capital now costs three or four hundred yuan in a bucket of coarse grains. Where can we get so much money? Please, the judge, we have not robbed the capital's arsenal and bow and arrow warehouse, and said that we were going to Zhongnan Mountain to be a bandit. That's just a story. We just want to leave the military camp and go to the mountains to find some fragmented land and plant some crops, so that we won't starve to death. Please leave a glimmer of life for us."

"When we fill our stomachs, we will come back and serve the Holy Lord."

"A bastard, even if he has entered the military camp, he will starve to death in the capital." Guo Zhuan ignored it and shook out the chains in his hand and wanted to copy all the deserters back.

At this time, an official in a scabby thorn walked out and stretched out his arms to block him and the deserter.

Guo Zhuan was furious, but then he saw that this person was Xingyuan Young Master Yin Gaoyue?

He dares not offend this person for the time being.

"Gao Yue, you enter the house of Xuanpingfang, the capital, and wait for the Holy Lord to summon him. If you don't do your business, you will not be able to save these deserters!"

"Soldiers are also the innocent sons of the Holy Lord. The Changwu Master has become a tragic pain in front of you. Wait for Si Jinwu, don't pretend to be a tiger's power here." Gao Yue's words made all Si Jinwu furious. They were mostly evil boys in the capital, and now they claim to be the emperor. How many high-ranking officials have to retreat when they see them, but who would think that such an ignorant foreign official came out and don't understand what the weather is in the capital now?

But at this time, Gao Yue turned his head and persuaded the children of the Northern Yamen: "Don't be angry if you wait, you will be in vain. You can go back to the camp."

Seeing Gao Yuefei's silverfish in the north yamen, they were very dignified and knew that he should be a character, they all kowtowed to him in tears, "If you return to the camp, your whole family will starve to death within a month."

Gao Yue helped the leading people up, "Don't worry, I will go to visit you guys to solve your problems properly. I will definitely seek a way out for everyone, including the people in the entire capital."

Then Gao Yue turned around and shouted to Jinwu, the Jinwu of the various corps: "Please let these children return to the camp and do not torture them."

"Who is the one who hits the spine?" Si Jinwu, who was riding on the horse, cursed.
