I knew in my heart that this probably meant all the people in the city!
Among those officials, the highest-ranking one was the Governor of Liangzhou.
The man had his face covered, so it was impossible to tell how old he was. He kept his back hunched over and spoke with an accent, and from his voice, it seemed he was not young.
"Your Highness, we are already doing well here, at least we still have two cities and three hundred people.
In Youzhou and Yanzhou, there is only one city and one hundred people."
Ji Wan: “…”
"How can a city with such a small population be called a prefecture?"
"Your Highness, these three prefectures are all adjacent to the Donglin Kingdom. If they are divided into just one prefecture, it sounds like it won't be as many as the Donglin Kingdom."
Ji Wan choked.
I thought, there are a total of 400 people in the prefectures and counties. Can adding a few more names of prefectures and counties increase the population?
Ji Wan had been listening to this person's explanation on the way.
I was sweating profusely, and after a long time, I felt like I had difficulty breathing.
Along the way, you can also see many cattle and sheep grazing in the earthen city.
Ji Wan was sharp-eyed and saw the shadow of a yak in it.
Finally, after walking in the desert for half an hour, they arrived at a house made of adobe.
"Where is this...?" Sui Ruoxu narrowed his eyes, somewhat incredulous.
"It's a government office. Your Highness, please don't blame me, it's really a bit too simple."
Ji Wan shook his head silently: "No, I was wondering, what do you eat? Do you have anything like barley?"
She only remembered that in her previous life, this kind of crop was only grown in certain areas with high altitudes, and she didn't know whether it existed here.
The hunchbacked governor shook his head and took off the clothes covering his mouth and nose: "No, Your Highness, it's been dry here all year round, so we can't grow any crops, so naturally there's nothing to eat.
We can only exchange sheepskins for them in other states and counties."
Ji Wan took a deep breath. She felt a little regretful that she had not learned geography well in her previous life.
Otherwise, we would also know what to plant in this desert to make their lives easier.
Liang Yan was not feeling well. He had been coughing non-stop since he suddenly came to this windy and dusty place.
Ji Wan glanced at the residents here and the governor, whose mouths and noses were covered extremely tightly, and understood.
She casually took out a piece of unused gauze from her storage bag and handed it to him: "Cover your mouth and nose."
Yang Guan behind him kept following the veil that Ji Wan handed over.
Ji Wan didn't care about their expressions at all: "Where is your water source?"
The elderly governor pointed to the west and said to Ji Wan, "There is a water source in the direction of the capital of Ningxi Kingdom!
It is a small lake, barely enough for our people to drink.
But now it is the dry season, there is no water, only during the rainy season."
Ji Wan nodded and respectfully asked the old man in front of him, "Liangzhou Governor, what should I address you?"
"Your Highness, my name is Nahar."
"Well, Nahar, go gather all the people in the city together and bring their water containers from their homes.
I will ask someone to go back and invite some children from Moxiang Academy to bring some water."
Ji Wan acted decisively and gave orders before he even had time to sit down.
She decided that since the area was suffering from perennial drought, no crops could be grown.
Then let’s start with this aspect!
Of course, the first thing to do is to quickly solve the basic need for water!
Let the children from Moxiang Academy take over first, and wait until she and the researchers come up with a solution before doing anything else.
In the vast and endless desert, the light of the formation shone again.
The team this time was led by Mr. Shunan and Yun Shuangyi.
Many children followed behind him.
Almost all the staff of Moxiang Academy were mobilized.
There are also several researchers.
The number of people is greater than the entire Liangzhou population.
Seeing that the people had finally arrived, Ji Wan did not hesitate.
Let the children in the academy directly provide water to the people waiting here!
The children of Moxiang Academy had done this before during the drought, so they were quite skilled at it now. Under Yun Shuangyi's command, they were very disciplined.
According to the rule of grouping several people, the wooden barrel in the hand of the man at the front of the line was filled with water first.
In just two or three breaths, a wooden barrel was filled, and they still had time to comfort the frightened man.
They said, "Don't be afraid, uncle. This water is clean and drinkable."
Ji Wan nodded with satisfaction.
The man was dazed, as if he had been frightened silly. He just stared at the small wooden barrel and scratched his head.
It took him a while to react. He licked his cracked lips, and regardless of the looks from the people around him, he reached out his hand, carefully scooped up a handful of water, and drank it.
After drinking it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he lowered his head and licked the water drops from between his fingers.
After licking it, he shouted with joy: "It's really drinkable water!
Thank you, Princess, for bringing us water!"
The man immediately turned around and knelt at Ji Wan's feet, facing the direction of her and the children of Moxiang Academy, and kept knocking his head regardless of the hot sand.
Many of the people who came after him to draw water also knelt down.
Ji Wan was helpless. He looked at the bewildered children of Moxiang Academy and said loudly, "Everyone, stand up and get some water. Go home and drink it slowly.
From now on, every morning, as long as the water problem is not solved, the children of Moxiang Academy will distribute clean water to you. Remember to come and get it when the time comes!"
The people then stood up one after another and looked at Ji Wan with gratitude on their faces.
Nahar's eyes became moist as he watched this scene.
Your Highness... This is the magic of the immortals, so that they can drink water!
Immortal, he has never seen an immortal in his life.
After receiving the water, many people, like the man at the beginning, would taste the water in their hands from time to time.
There was a very happy smile on everyone's face.
A young couple got the water and immediately fed it to the child in the man's arms.
They only dare to drink water so recklessly during the rainy season, otherwise they can only drink goat milk or camel milk.
This was the first time for them to drink such sweet water during the hottest dry season!
And this water will be available tomorrow!
That’s great!
Thanks to Your Highness, thanks to these little fairies!
The children of Moxiang Academy were very quick. After they had provided enough water for the three hundred people, Ji Wan asked Tuoba Feng to lead the children and first build a formation around the city to isolate the temperature.
Otherwise, if the children come here suddenly, they will get sick if they can't adapt to the high temperature in Liangzhou.
Over there, the King of Yue, Pan Gou, Gao Qu and two experienced people had already gone to check the water source.
Ji Wan took the opportunity to pull Yang Guan along and followed behind the others.
She also wanted to see the source of water in this place.
