The viewers in the livestream room were the most sarcastic.
Maixi Zhaozilong: "After watching the livestream for so long, I finally understand that the streamer is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people at most eat from their bowls and look at the pot, but the streamer? She hasn't even eaten from her bowl, but she's already thinking about the uncooked food in the pot. She's still thinking about which chicken and duck to slaughter and what to eat for supper … "
Yingyang Kuaixian: "The commenter above put it so tactfully. Can't you just say that the streamer is greedy? Of course, this is a compliment. "
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Do you think greedy can describe the streamer's nature?"
There was another round of discussion among the viewers in the livestream room. Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes in her heart and then blocked the bullet screen.
If it was an ordinary person, they would probably be frightened by Jiang Pengji's words. Feng Jin was not an ordinary person. He could actually understand Jiang Pengji's strange thinking.
He adjusted his mentality and muttered to himself for a while. "Lanting, what you mean by this … You want Fengyi County?"
From the map of Dongqing, Dongqing had six prefectures and a total of 21 counties.
The six prefectures were Cangzhou, Chongzhou, Zhangzhou, Wanzhou, Chenzhou, and Haozhou.
Wanzhou included Shangyang County, Fengyi County, and Chengde County. Among the three counties, Fengyi County had the largest area. However, it was located in the north and had the least population. Xiangyang County, where Jiang Pengji was about to be appointed, was in Fengyi County.
Jiang Pengji revealed a smile of determination and asked him in reply, "Why not?"
Feng Jin said, "It's not that I want to pour cold water on you, but the Emperor won't allow this."
Liu She was already the magistrate of Chongzhou. Before he retired, Liu Xi could at most be the district magistrate of Xiangyang County. He would not be able to climb any higher.
The Emperor was suspicious. He even guarded against his own son and even monitored him day and night, let alone Liu She and his son.
"When did I say I needed his permission?" Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Huaiyu is still too much of a gentleman."
Feng Jin, who was labeled as a "gentleman," was silent.
The "gentleman" that came out of his mouth was definitely not a compliment.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "The earthquake affected the entire Wanzhou, and the emperor insisted on moving the capital to Chenzhou. The three tribes of the Northern Borderline are also eyeing the northern border covetously. In other words, the northern part of Dongqing is in a rather chaotic state, and the imperial court has no time to attend to other matters. Huaiyu, in such a situation, do you think the appointment letter from the imperial court is more useful, or do you think a powerful troop is easier to talk to? "
In this chaotic world, only strength was the best life-saving trump card.
Previously, they had always taken the route of elite soldiers, so the number of troops had been reduced again and again.
Now that the world was in chaos, Jiang Pengji had to consider expanding the troops.
Feng Jin understood what Jiang Pengji meant. As long as they had a strong army and strong horses, they could control the entire Fengyi County by force. That would be a success.
By then, even if Jiang Pengji was still the magistrate of Xiangyang district, in essence, she was no different from the county chief.
Jiang Pengji had never been to Xiangyang District, but she had read extensively. Xiangyang District was mentioned in some geographical records and history books, so she knew a little about the specific situation there. "Xiangyang District is a good place to train troops. The terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack …"
Feng Jin was from Shangyang County. Shangyang County was adjacent to Fengyi County, so he had some understanding of Xiangyang District in Fengyi County.
He frowned and his expression was solemn.
"It's true that the land here is vast, but it's a barren place. It's sparsely populated and the terrain is steep. It's not conducive to farming. "
It wasn't easy to feed the troops. One person was one mouth. In addition to daily training, a person's appetite was twice that of a normal man. The food consumption was huge. The land in Xiangyang District was barren and there were few farmers. The food produced was not enough to feed the troops.
In other words, if she were to station troops here, she would need to spend a huge amount of money to buy food from outside every year. Could her assets afford it?
This was a troop of 5,000 people. If she wanted to expand, the expenditure would skyrocket.
"Huaiyu, you have to understand something." Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled confidently. "If a place is poor, you can't blame the lack of resources. You can only blame the people who manage the place for being too stupid. They only know how to look at their disadvantages and don't make use of their advantages."
Jiang Pengji's words could be considered as a broadside.
"Come, come, come. I'll show you a treasure." Jiang Pengji rummaged through her book box and took out a roll of slightly yellowed sheepskin. She unfolded it and gestured for Feng Jin to come over and take a look. "Sometimes, it's definitely not bad to read more."
Feng Jin took two steps forward and sat on the side of the desk again. He carefully looked at the unfolded sheepskin. There was still a slight odor in the air.
"This is … Dongqing's Universal Geographical Map?"
Feng Jin examined it carefully and discovered that it was indeed the Great Universal Geographical Map of Dongqing. However, the things drawn on it were far more detailed than the Great Universal Geographical Map that he knew of. Not only were there many more river branches and mountain lines, but there were also many strange symbols.
"Yes, it's indeed Dongqing's Universal Geographical Map." Jiang Pengji said, "Master Cheng Cheng's book collection is all-encompassing and covers almost all aspects of content. The Langye Academy is also extraordinary. There are many incomplete ancient books and only copies. I collated all the geographical records and related unofficial history and official history. Then, I copied the Universal Geographical Map and made these markings on it. It took a lot of effort. "
Feng Jin was a little confused at first. When he found that there were symbols at the corner of the map and there were annotations beside the symbols, he was suddenly enlightened.
After understanding the meaning of each symbol, it was much easier to look at the Universal Geographical Map again.
"This, this …" Feng Jin was so shocked that he could hardly speak.
Various mineral veins were marked on the Universal Geographical Map!
"How do you know all this?" Feng Jin found his voice after a long while.
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes and said, "Reading more is good for your physical and mental health. There will be unexpected gains if you write more reading notes. Before the Sixteen Kingdoms, the people were valiant and free. Many scholars traveled the world and compiled what they saw and heard along the way into books. Later, after the war of the Sixteen Kingdoms, most of these books were lost or incomplete. Some even only had one copy passed down … "
She sorted out Cheng Cheng's book collection. There were many related books, but most people treated them as travel biographies and did not pay much attention to them.
During the two or three years in Langye County, Jiang Pengji did not stay idle. She thought of ways to read many precious, only copies.
Although the Universal Geographical Map was simple, it took her three years of painstaking effort.
Feng Jin still did not understand. Jiang Pengji said again, "It's like 'A Tour of the Mountains and Rivers' written by a great scholar of the previous dynasty. Ordinary people can only read the magnificent mountains and rivers described in the book and the interesting things that happened to the great scholar during his journey, but I read something else …"
She used her finger to point at the Universal Geographical Map on the table. Her fingertips moved from one point to another. This was the "travel route" of the great scholar.
Feng Jin took a look and saw that the route was marked with many small words. When he looked carefully, his scalp went numb.
For example, the great scholar said that he saw a magnificent scene somewhere. It was so beautiful that it did not seem like a scene of the human world. Jiang Pengji analyzed the reason for the formation of the scene and studied other similar geographical biographies. She combined a series of conditions such as the mountains, soil, temperature, humidity, and the time at that time to infer the unique terrain or geological situation in the vicinity …
