Chapter 309: An eventful year when the heavens are not beautiful
Zijin and Yuanbao's mother and son stayed in Songcheng for most of the year before returning to the southeast, after all, Songcheng is close to the border, and security factors are the first to bear the brunt. In addition, Songcheng is a northern city, and the weather is not adaptable, and the hardships of life make the little guy Yuanbao unbearable. The most important point is that the second uncle of the official wrote letters every once in a while to urge people to go back, making it seem as if he couldn't live without ingots, so Hu Chunge reluctantly asked Zijin to take the child back.
Yuanbao is very pleasing to this guy, and he has only been here for less than half a year, and he has taken all the hearts of the people in the government into his arms, and even many people love this little guy very much. Even Su Youqi often came to tease this guy, and what surprised Chun Ge even more was that the King of the North had also condescended to give gifts to the little guy under the banner of inspection. When this living treasure leaves, I really don't know that it will take away the hearts and livers of many people.
After the raid of Zijin and Yuanbao, Chunge's days became more and more leisurely, and time flickered, and two years passed. On this day, Chunge took Song Qi to inspect the border of Songcheng, in fact, Songcheng has been very good in the past two years, not to mention the unlimited economic development, and the most troublesome war factor in the past does not exist. What's more, there is also a Chun Ge who never lets himself suffer losses, and he leads Songcheng well. Chunge also held a cultural feast in Songcheng, which attracted many students to participate. If before this, it was only the Songcheng family who was convinced of Chunge, then after the cultural banquet, the entire north began to admire Chunge's wise leadership. Chunge's reputation has been greatly boosted in the north, and coupled with Chunge's reputation in the southeast before, the youngest official who can have appeal in the north and south is Chunge.
Of course, Chun Ge is so idle now, otherwise he wouldn't have this spare time to accompany Song Qi to wander around the edge of Songcheng. To put it nicely, it is to inspect and so on, but in fact, it is to accept the welcome of the people, and bring back some local products by the way. Add a dish to the government office or something.
"My lord, under your leadership, Matsucheng is surprisingly good!" Song Qi can still vaguely remember the first time he saw Chunge, he would never have thought that the man who was not yet weak would be able to bring Songcheng to such a point, he really sighed.
"Lord Song, you've been saying this for two years, are you tired of it?" Chun Ge rolled his eyes helplessly, these two years were enough for him to include Song Qi in his team, and the relationship between him and Song Qi became more and more like a friend. It's absolutely normal to make fun of it once in a while.
"Hehe" Song Qi thought about it for a while, as if he said this every time he came out with Chunge, he finally discovered his monotony, no wonder Chunge began to complain.
Song Qi just wanted to say something, but a gust of wind with wind and sand blocked his mouth, but fortunately, the wind came and went quickly, but it disappeared without a trace in a few breaths. Song Qi coincidentally ate a few bites of sand. But Chun Ge kept looking at the direction of the gust of wind, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency." Song Qi patted the sand on Chunge's body and said, "There has always been such a strong wind recently, and it will pass in a while, it's okay." ”
"Always?" Chunge has never liked to wander around, so naturally he doesn't know the weather outside.
"yes, I've met it several times." Song Qi slapped the remaining sand on his face vigorously, looking unhappy.
As soon as Song Qi said this, Chun Ge remembered. The weather in recent years is indeed abnormal, just like this year, it is obviously November, but there is still the coolness of autumn, and it stands to reason that the north in November should have been a cold winter wax moon. People only regard today's climate change as an auspicious omen, and the winter of previous years was shiveringly cold, and finally this year will be a little more comfortable.
"Drought. It's drought. Chun Ge slapped his head suddenly.
"My lord, my lord, what are you talking about?" Song Qi couldn't understand what Chun Ge was saying, but Chun Ge suddenly started to harm himself.
"How has the harvest been in the past few years?" Chun Ge changed his words, but asked about the harvest, he would have looked at it a few years ago, but after Song Qi took over, he didn't care much.
"It's not as much as in previous years, but it's still good." Even though Song Qi was curious about Chunge's changeability, he had long been accustomed to following Chunge's steps after working with Chunge for many years.
"Go back to the mansion immediately, you go and call Wang Xiang." After Chunge finished speaking, he hurried back.
Song Qi hesitated for a moment. also immediately found Wang Xiang and honestly went to Chunge's study to wait.
"My lord, it's really rare for you to look for me." Chunge, a lazy person, rarely takes the initiative to find Wang Xiang, and there have been only a handful of meetings between Wang Xiang and Chunge over the years, but it is this sense of alienation that has eased the relationship between Chunge and the Wang family. Probably distance produces beauty.
"Don't be foolish, there's something important going on today." Chunge coughed and said very seriously, he found that his subordinates didn't seem to have any fear of him, which made him a little frustrated, he was still very majestic.
"Okay, you say, you say." Wang Xiang still has a hippie smile, but Chun Ge knows that this guy is absolutely ruthless when he plays ruthlessly, and in the face of his brother's residual forces in Songcheng, he uprooted his eyes without blinking, leaving no room for anything, this kind of courage is also one of the reasons why Chun Ge admires him.
"There is a change in the sky, have you two noticed it?" When Chun Ge said this, he sighed deeply, if he was in the southeast, why did he need to go around like this, just tell Ah Liu directly that he wanted food, but unfortunately Ah Liu had already gone back to the southeast.
"My lord, don't you know, now it is said that with your lordship, even God will give you a face, and it will never be cold in winter anymore, you are much more effective than Tang Pozi." Wang Xiang smiled and repeated what he heard outside, which is enough to prove that Chun Ge is popular in the north.
"It's not cold in winter, it's not raining in summer, you know." Chun Ge is also a well-read poet, astronomical and geographical, classic classics, it can be said that he knows everything, coupled with his father's influence when he was a child, he has a great talent for being a god.
"You mean, there's going to be a big drought in the north." Song Qi and Wang Xiang are not stupid, Chunge's words have come to this, and they said it in unison.
"Otherwise, I really know God?" Chun Ge couldn't help but ask, if he was that kind of skill, he would have become an immortal a long time ago, and what kind of excitement would he have in the world.
"How is this good, the harvest in the past few years is not bad but definitely not good, if there is a great drought, will not many people starve to death." Song Qi is in charge of grain, so he naturally knows that the remaining rations in the granary are pitiful.
"Although the Wang family has a grain store, it has not been a major drought for a long time, and it just sold its stock last year, and it is still stockpiling grain." Wang Xiang has also been the mainstay of the Wang family in recent years, although he can't say it directly, but he won't hide Chun Ge too much, after all, the two are now in the stage of cooperation.
"Panic what." Chun Ge straightened his face, a little unhappy, he was not in a hurry, how could these two be as anxious as fleas.
"It's not that there is a shortage of food now, and it's too early to wait until the drought is out of control, don't you two have a lot of time to collect surplus food." Chunge himself will apply for food from the imperial court, and I believe that with his current connections in the imperial court, he can still get a little. It's just a drop in the bucket, his point alone is far from enough, and he can't care about the southeast, in the end, it's a matter of the north, unless it is absolutely necessary, Chunge will not open this mouth. So he can only pin his hopes on these two henchmen.
"It's not that I'm scared by adults." Song Qi patted his little liver, whoever asked Chun Ge to either say that he was accurate, he was scared.
"My lord, couldn't you have said earlier that you wanted us to raise food?" Wang Xiang was also depressed, if Chun Ge directly said the purpose, why would they be frightened by the drought.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, you two go get some food." As he was talking, Chun Ge seemed to remember something, and hurriedly added: "Also, we are not saints, it is enough for you to raise food from Songcheng, and as for other places, we just have the obligation to remind us." ”
"Of course, it's best to remind us when we're done." Chun Ge said calmly without blushing or panting, anyway, he told others that there would be a big drought tomorrow, and people would say that he was a god, so it was enough to remind him a little.
Song Qi couldn't help but turn his head, their family is still the same, with his current reputation in the north, let alone predicting drought, even if it refers to deer as a horse, everyone can believe it. He is clearly letting himself get food, regardless of whether people live or die.
"Well, my lord, we will never leak secrets." Wang Xiang jokingly raised his right hand and vigorously obeyed Chunge.
"That's it." Chun Ge took the case, and this matter was done, and he finally said: "Before the Chinese New Year, I want to see that my granary is too full." After saying that, Chunge didn't look at these two people as if they were going to die, and went directly to Leshan to play.
The two people who stayed behind were all crying and sad, the two looked at each other, the whole brother was a difficult brother, and the adults of their family would never stop if they didn't blow up their surplus value, and they still wanted to have a good year, they were all dreaming.
Chunge is in full swing to raise food, but a big event has happened in the capital. Su Jianyu, who has always been in good health, is sick, as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and no one can predict that this pillar with Su will fall. So Su Youqi at the border was ordered to go back to Beijing to take care of his father, ostensibly to take care of Su Jianyu's body, but the fact is that those ministers knew that Su Youjun was useless, and found Su Youqi to supervise the country. Anyway, Su Youqi embarked on the road to the capital, and he deliberately went around to Chunge, and said goodbye to Chunge in the name of having something to discuss.
Chun Ge also agreed with Su Youqi's return to Beijing, he knew that Su Youjun was not incompetent, but he couldn't make a holy gesture on the bright side, if Su Youqi was in front and Su Youjun was behind, this matter would be much easier. What's more, one of these two brothers is in charge of state affairs, and the other can take care of Su Jianyu. Chun Ge also asked people to inform his uncle Qiu Shenyi, to be honest, he also wanted to go back to Beijing to take care of Su Jianyu, but his identity was embarrassing, so he could only give a few orders, and watched Su Youqi leave with a sad heart.
