Chapter 185: Marina City
Xiao Jingyu was reluctant to leave, but Lin Jin coaxed her: "Wait until next year to ask Xiao Chen to make you a few, the fireworks tower he made will definitely be much better than these!" ”
Song Chen's attainments in mechanical techniques are very deep, and the fireworks tower is just a small trick for him, and he can naturally get it by hand, and he can also add some designs to it, which can be even more surprising. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After watching the fireworks, they no longer stopped in Lily of the Valley City, but went to Melan City. Along the way, it is already the spring season, according to the signs of previous years, at this time these southern cities should be the end of the dark green and the new green probe to probe the brain. But from Lily of the Valley to Molan City, this wild is still a snowy plain white world, and the leaves that should still be hanging on the branches and will not fall until the new leaves come out have long since fallen like the north, leaving the bare branches to be steep in the cold wind.
Su Miao and Xiao Jingyu felt novel all the way through, not to mention Su Miao, even Tang Yun and Xiao Jingyu had never seen such a scene in the south, and they were discussing passionately all the way. But Song Chen and the others vaguely felt in their hearts that behind this abnormality, it seemed that something unusual was about to happen.
The further south you go, the more obvious the snow becomes, and Tang Yun sighed: "This year, the north and south seem to have turned around!" There is hardly much snow in the north, and this snow is coming down to the south! And it seems that the further south you go, the more snow falls! ”
Tang Yun was right, after they stayed in Molan City for a day, they continued to Binhai City. Marina City is located in the southernmost part of the land of Dalan, and there has never been a record of snowfall. But when they arrived, they woke up the next day and saw snowflakes fluttering in the sky!
The people of Marina City, from the elderly to the children, were so happy that they had never seen snowflakes in the local area! Of course, not only are people not afraid of the cold, but they run out and catch the snowflakes with their hands. As soon as the snow fell in a thin layer, there were children scurrying through the streets, calling friends, ready to build snowmen......
When Su Miao and the others arrived at the beach, they saw that the sea near the beach, which was nearly ten zhang wide, was covered with a thin layer of ice. At this time, there were still a few fishing boats planning to go to sea, Su Miao and they asked, saying that the sea water near the sea had become cold, and those shallow sea fish did not adapt to this sudden change, and they all swam very slowly, and they just went to catch fish......
"Master, is there something wrong here?" Song Chen frowned slightly and asked Lin Jin, although he had not experienced such an abnormal situation, there must be a demon when something went wrong.
"That's right." Dalan has not had any natural disasters in the past 30 years, but according to his experience in the past 100 years, every time if the climate is abnormal, there will be unusual natural disasters in the future. This winter, so much snow has fallen, and when the weather is warm, all this snow will turn into water and collect into the river, and when the rainy season comes, the river may not be able to carry it. ”
"How's that for good?" Song Henghuan asked. If this natural disaster happens, the people will definitely suffer, and among the people present, he has the closest relationship with Song Hengyuan, and naturally he is the most considerate of the latter.
"It's just what I think might happen, and it doesn't necessarily come to pass." Lin Jin said with relief.
"Shall we not do anything, just wait and see?" Song Henghuan's face was a little solemn, and he was already thinking about whether to tell Song Hengyuan about the situation.
"No one can say this kind of thing, if you make a big move at this time, it will cause the people's hearts to fluctuate, and your emperor brother must not approve of it." Lin Jin said, "If you want to remind him, you can do it, or send an order for the government to dredge the river, etc., just in case." ”
"Master, why don't we open some grain shops!" Song Chen mentioned it at this time, "You are right, if the news of the loss of grain harvest due to natural disasters spreads, grain merchants may stock up grain and sell it, driving up the price of grain." And if the government comes forward to purchase food for backup, it will confirm the rumors, so the emperor will not do this easily. ”
"Instead of being so passive, it is better for us to open some grain stores in various places. It was only collected and not sold, and it was announced to the outside world that the grain was to be transported to the snow country to be sold. We'll store the grain first, and then we'll use it if we can't, and if we can't, we'll actually transport it to the snowy country. ”
"Xiao Chen's method is feasible!" Xiao Jingyu strongly agreed, "I haven't done business for a long time, so it's better to do a business for a year and a half!" ”
"In that case, we're going to get to work on it right away." Lin Jin has always been sharp in doing business, "While nothing is revealed in this abnormality, we can choose a location for the grain store on the one hand, and prepare a warehouse where grain can be stored on the other!" "Naturally, grain cannot exist in grain stores, on the one hand, they cover up that they want to transport grain out to the "snow country", and on the other hand, the grain stores in the city can store only a limited amount in the warehouse.
None of those present had ever experienced famine and did not know how terrible it was. Lin Jin still remembers that one year when he went to the west, he passed through a small country a little west of the Eagle Country, and that small country had just experienced floods, and all the farmland in the country was flooded. The small country was really small, and there was only one mountain in the territory, and after being visited by the hungry people, it became bare, and those who did not dig up the roots of the grass also picked the leaves and ate them. When a person is extremely hungry, it can really be anything to stuff into their stomach.
Later, the grain merchants of the Eagle Country heard the wind and transported a large amount of grain to the border, but all those who had a little surplus money in their hands flocked to it, but the price of rice that was originally fifteen wen a pound rose directly to fifty wen, but what can be done, if you want to survive, you can only exchange the silver in your hands for food. Poor peasants who have no money to spare can also use the land to exchange for food, but they all feed on the land, and what will they live on after losing their land? You can only be a tenant farmer, the rent of the people of the Eagle Country is too heavy, and after paying the rent and paying the taxes after a year, the rest is not enough to fill the stomach, some people are really hungry, and even the land has been changed, and some are really reluctant, only continue to peel the bark on the mountain to eat, and it is said that there are also direct cannibalism......
Of course, Dalan has a vast territory, and there will not be such a situation where the entire country will suffer from floods, but listening to what Song Chen and Su Miao said, there are only two snows in the north, and if there is a flood in the south, it is foreseeable that there will also be a drought in the north, and then I am afraid that Song Hengyuan will not be able to take care of it so much.
