You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 24: Horrible Nanman

Chapter 24 The Horrible Southern Barbarians

Mr. Chen also chatted with Zhou Yu. The two of them only needed a bottle of wine and a plate of peanuts. If they continued chatting, they would almost fall in love.

Even, Zhou Yu was reluctant to leave, repeatedly saying that you could come to him if you have anything to do in the future.

Dad, what did you say to him to deceive him like this? Chen Xue was a little curious.

"Go, go, go, who deceived him." Mr. Chen was a little dissatisfied. "I just expressed in a vague way that we still have a chance to get up. Yamen like them who want to climb up will naturally take the bait..."

In fact, this is also the case.

Zhou Yu has been a government servant for several years, and he knows very well that even though these officials were exiled, who knows whether they will rise again the next day, and this kind of thing is not uncommon.

On the contrary, he has seen a lot.

Like the current prime minister, he was exiled several times, but the next year he was re-appointed by the emperor and became prime minister again.

Except for those who have no vision, they will step on these exiled officials. Anyone with a little vision knows that these high-ranking officials may rise up as long as they are not dead. Therefore, if you can not offend, don't offend, and if you can build a good relationship, then Build good relationships.

Furthermore, Xu Tian, a government official with a background, kept saying that Mr. Chen was wronged every day. Although Zhou Yu and the others had seen this kind of situation many times, they also knew that those who were wronged would always be found out. In other words, Mr. Chen still has a chance to get up.

That's why Zhou Yu wanted to have a good relationship with the Chen family.

So, in addition to giving both kindness and power, there are many other means

Mr. Chen taught Chen Xue some of his experience in officialdom. Although his daughter is not an official, there is no harm in learning more.

Boom!

Thunder sounded from above everyone's heads, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

"Boost!"

"Snapped!"

If you dont want to become a drowned rat, hurry up and get on your way!

There is a post station not far ahead. You can rest when you arrive.

The government officials looked at the darkening sky and felt the roaring wind. They suddenly became anxious and waved their whips to urge them.

The prisoners were also a little anxious. If they didn't find a place to hide from the rain quickly, they would all get wet.

Getting wet is a trivial matter. If they get sick, the government officials will not be kind enough to help them find a doctor.

The Chen family also speeded up. Although they had a carriage to take shelter from the rain, they did not have any servants. If the servants were sick, it would be a problem.

Boom!

Its a pity that Gods calculation is not as good as that of man.

Everyone speeded up their journey, but still failed to reach the inn before it started to rain. In desperation, the officials had no choice but to return to the carriage to take shelter from the rain, while the prisoners had no choice but to hide in the woods to take shelter from the rain.

Hurrah!

Heavy rain fell from the sky and hit the ground. Then, a strong wind came, picking up the dust and leaves on the ground and roaring at everyone.

The prisoners huddled under the trees, huddled together, trying to minimize the area exposed to rain, and even protected the elderly and children among them.

The pouring rain soon enveloped the whole world, and the prisoners were like a circle of quails, huddled under the trees and shivering.

Boom!

Thunder flashed, and the loud sound scared countless children into screaming.

Fortunately, no lightning struck.

One autumn rain and another cold!

Mr. Chen looked at the rain outside and couldn't help but sigh. After the rain, the weather became cooler.

Because it was raining heavily, all the officials had taken shelter, so there was no need to rush. The Chen family also huddled in the carriage.

Today is the second day of exile. Although it is still early, we still need to consider our plans after being exiled to Nanman

Although Mr. Chen has never been to Nanman, he has heard more or less that "the environment there is very bad, miasma is dense, snakes, rats, and ants are everywhere..."

In a word, the Southern Barbarians are in poor mountains and rivers, and the people who are exiled there will basically die of illness within a few years.

Although Chen Xue has never been there, she can refer to the ancient South in her previous life. At that time, the environment of the Southern Barbarians was almost as bad as here.

The Nanman area is very humid and difficult to live in, not to mention all kinds of dangers, miasma, snakes, rats, insects and ants... and even harassment and invasion by the Nanman people from time to time.

They were exiled to the southern barbarians, firstly to develop the southern barbarians and make them habitable, but also to resist the southern barbarians.

Of course, we are not asking them to fight with the Southern Barbarians, after all, they cannot stop them if they go, but to do logistics.

These exiled prisoners will be arranged in exile towns and small villages, and they will be asked to reclaim wasteland and farm fields to provide food to sustain the lives of the garrisoned soldiers.

Those soldiers are training on weekdays and have no time to farm. Moreover, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so there is no way to buy food, so these exiles are needed.

"So, I asked Xu Tian to inquire..." Master Chen looked at his wife and daughter, "Our exile destination is the new countryside. This is a village that was just built last year. The last batch of exiles lived there..."

The environment in Xinxiang is very bad. It is said that three hundred people were exiled last year, and this year there are less than fifty..."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. There were less than fifty people left out of three hundred. What did such a high death rate mean? It shows that it is really bad over there.

"Although I don't want to scare you, the truth is probably still serious..." Mr. Chen sighed. The border guards would definitely lie about the situation just to save face and official position.

So, perhaps, fewer people will survive in Xinxiang.

"Why is the mortality rate so high...Dad, have you found out the reason?" Chen Xue was a little nervous. She thought that the road to exile was already scary, but she didn't expect that the road was just an appetizer.

"Food, disease, southern barbarian invasion...these are all problems!" Mr. Chen sighed, "especially food...after we go there, they will not provide us with food. At most, they will provide some grains, but grains But you cant eat it. If the next years harvest does not meet the requirements, you will be driven out and starve to death in the mountains and forests..."

Chen Xue then learned about the situation there. After they went there, they would be arranged in the village, and then the government officials would only provide them with grain. They had to find ways to provide food themselves.

When I was just exiled there, there was no food. I had to go to the wild to find it. But the environment in Nanman... there were mountains and forests everywhere, with snakes, rats, insects, ants, tigers, leopards and wolves all in groups.

Many people either starved to death, were eaten by tigers, leopards, jackals, or were bitten by snakes, rats, insects, and ants and died.

In short, nine lives are not enough to die over there.

Father, mother, dont worry!

Just when everyone was feeling heavy, Chen Xue said, "I still have several thousand kilograms of food in my pocket, so we don't have to worry about food at all..."

Its not just food. Mr. Chen thought far ahead. Miasma is also a big problem. The reason why there are so many casualties is because of miasma

In addition, snakes, rats, insects and ants, these are also problems. The creatures over there are not like us. The creatures over there are wild, bloodthirsty and cruel..."

If these problems are not solved, it will be very difficult for them to survive in Nanman.

Chen Xue also had a headache, but suddenly something occurred to her and her eyes lit up. There was an exchange system in her space.

As long as you have money, nothing is a problem.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Miasma, she can exchange it for detoxifying pills, etc.

She can exchange snakes, rats, insects and ants for realgar, insecticides, etc.

As long as you have money, you can do this. Moreover, Nanman has not been developed at all. There are all kinds of medicinal materials, which is simply a treasure land.

As long as she picks herbs and lets the system recycle them, she can harvest contribution points, and then use the contribution points to exchange for pesticides and other things, and the cycle starts...

You can live a comfortable life in Nanman without having to pay out of your own pocket.
