In the past, the turquoise Feixiao Mountain blocked the sand, and the residents within the mountain always felt that the dry sand was far away from them, and the cities of Kansai such as Weicheng, that little bit of difficult green, always supported some.

However, after the Rong people occupied Guanxi, they plundered a large number of black oil and coal mines, and even did not let go of the pitiful rough iron ore. After they retreated, the Kansai region was devastated, and in order to smelt ore on the spot, they cut down all the trees that could be cut down. Plus Yu Qiushan's conquest of his son Yu He's instant fire!

Cutting and felling, how can there be fire and burn quickly? After the fire burned, there were not enough soldiers and soldiers, and Yu Qiushan did not send troops to fight the fire at all. Feixiao Mountain has been burned bare.

In summer, the desert is extremely hot during the day and suddenly cools down at night, the temperature difference is large, it is easy to wind, the wind rolls up the dust and sand, it is called the sand wind, and when the wind is strong, it is called a sandstorm.

This year, Kansai has no buffer against sand winds, and Mt. Fei Xiao has no resistance. The sand wind is incessant. The so-called words are in a hurry, and the wind is also in a hurry! By the end of summer, the sandstorm developed into an unprecedented storm, blowing up the sand and gravel on Feixiao Mountain and pouring it into the Guannei. Now the farmland in the Guannai has also been destroyed, and the autumn harvest is about to end!

The local officials did not dare to press it any longer, and quickly sent it to the capital.

The envelopes of the urgent report were sandy. The wind was so strong that it poured in through the cracks in the window. When officials write letters, they can't avoid the sand.

Cui Heng's expression was solemn.

Yunhua didn't have a word to forgive him!

The year of the great calamity is coming.

Officials outside also heard the news one after another. One by one, they knelt outside the imperial study. Cui Heng was rarely timid, and he didn't dare to come out of the bead curtain, for fear that his subjects would see the look on his face.

He was able to hold on to the big battle, with the courage of his blood. He knew that there was no shortage of such bloody courage in the whole country. But the catastrophe ...... After a great war, this dynasty is already weakened, and it is difficult to withstand such a blow, and it is more difficult to endure hardships than to fight.

You can encourage a warrior who hasn't slept for days and nights to climb the walls again. Fight to the death with the enemy. But how do you deal with the people who are begging for food everywhere, from summer to autumn and then to winter?

Cui Heng is an understanding person, so his heart is even heavier, and his heart has been sinking into his stomach.

The minister outside waited for a while. Look at the emperor and don't come out. And they went out to admonish.

Some are genuinely worried. Some just want to express their worries, some take the opportunity to step on dissidents, and some take this opportunity to get the emperor's attention. shouted back and forth, in fact, there was no magical way to come up with a piece of spirit, but it forced Cui Heng to make up his mind.

Cui Heng saw that if he didn't stop these guys earlier, and wait for the hungry people to make trouble, these idiots in Beijing would make trouble for him first!

Cui Heng settled down, suppressed the most noisy minister in the end, and discussed the current countermeasures with some reliable courtiers: It is too late to talk about what to fight the wind and sand now. The residents who were seriously affected by the disaster had to be evacuated inward first, and the grain from the south was transferred to the west first. Wait for the wind and sand to settle a little, remove the sand and restore the fields, replant drought-resistant crops, and then take it slowly.

The minister stepped back, and the second prince asked to see him.

In fact, as soon as the second prince heard that the minister had entered the palace, he also came in, but he did not dare to stand next to his father through the minister, lest he seem to be trying to encroach on his father's power; I don't dare to stand here with the minister, lest it be like helping the minister force the palace. He stood far away, saw that the minister was gone, and hurriedly came out to greet his father, saying that he cared about state affairs and his father.

Cui Heng held his forehead and asked him, "Did you hear it?" Any thoughts? ”

The second prince bowed down and talked about some ideas, very upright, very upright.

Cui Heng fought hard and was inspired by several points, and the second prince said: The father is wise and benevolent, which is really beyond the reach of people!

Cui Heng suddenly became deeply tired: "Emperor! When I was the prince, I accompanied your imperial grandfather to learn government affairs, and I was also slack at night, and I didn't dare to take one more step, for fear of one less step, and I was very tired. ”

The second prince didn't know why his father suddenly remembered the past, so he had to bow down and only chatter.

Cui Heng said: "I call you now, are you more tired than I was back then?" ”

The second prince hurriedly kowtowed, and replied: In the past few years, the country's accumulated diseases have happened to arise, and it is thanks to how his father can be ruled wisely and martial, and he watched it as a son and learned a lot. It is expected that the difficulties will be passed in the past two years, the country will be prosperous again, and the father can be the country for thousands of years, and he can be the son of such a father, he already feels very honored.

That's a good answer. Cui Heng wanted to be his son, but he just answered like this. But how many of these answers are sincere? If it's false, it's true......

He waved his hand and said very kindly: Emperor, you are still young, it is not easy to achieve this level, and if you study again, your father is very optimistic about you.

The second prince kowtowed and retreated.

Cui Heng is still thinking: Why is he so unlucky? In the past few years, so many things have happened one after another?

No one can tell him that the bad luck he thinks is actually groundless, not without cause.

It's just that no one can react to those causes and effects.

It's important, it's the suffering of the poor at the bottom, and the officials' books don't reflect it, it's all the prosperity of the peace-

Yes, if you take a walk from Jincheng to the capital, you will see that it is also peaceful, and occasionally a few poor people are swept out of the corner of your eye, what is it? Where are there few poor people?

The plight of the residents of the old street where Mingzhu was born, no one followed up. The gangsters in the old city of the gourd scoop can start street battles, and no one dares to stab the emperor. It's like a watermelon, placed in the ground, covered with green skin, and slowly rotten inside...... Suddenly fell to the ground, and the stinky water flowed sideways, why are you so unlucky, just splashed with stinky water?

Alas! Don't think these old streets are trivial. Jincheng is still a rich city in this dynasty, not to mention the status of the capital. They all have old neighborhoods, so what if they were other small towns? How many "old towns and old towns" will be hiding in the corners and no one knows, slowly rotting like watermelons?

This is still when everyone said that the prosperous era, in a big war, the Rong people took advantage of the Rong merchants' ability to squeeze almost all the gold and silver treasures they occupied, and the Hu people said that they could not burn and plunder, leaving the endgame, up to Cui Heng, down to the ministers all said that they wanted to govern the country thriftly, and most of the books in the music boasted about how they were thrifty and peaceful the people, and everyone could still live...... In fact, how many people will not survive after this book?!

In the next few days, the palace and the palace were busy. The disaster was not settled for a while, and there were many discussions, Yu Qiushan was the culprit of the burning of the mountain, the people didn't understand, and they didn't know who poked it out, so they made him into the drama and said, so the streets and alleys all knew. He is a hero, but hunger is in front of him - people are dying of hunger in the west, and the displaced people are coming to the south, and the grain in the south that is already less than in previous years will have to be transported to the west! How did you get it?

In this way, there are more and more dissatisfaction with Yu Qiushan, some of them are thinking about the old feelings, not talking about General Yu, talking about other civilian and military generals - and even complaining about the old man, that is, alluding to the Son of Heaven.

Cui Heng and other civil officials and military generals had to tell Yu Qiushan to be honest and stand up to the people's grievances.

Yu Qiushan deeply repented of his reckless behavior of burning the mountain. At such a large age, he had new war wounds on his body, took off his armor, knelt on the ground with tears and snot, and his nose was sore.

In fact, Cui Heng is also distressed - what's the use of being distressed? Let's overcome the difficulties together and come up with some ideas!

Cloud Sword finally came up with an idea.

Yun Jian is not a heavenly master, and he has no way to deal with wind and sand, but he is a Confucian general, and Confucian generals mean that they can fight like murderers, and they can have bad ideas like ancient sages.

At present, his idea is: Anyway, there is a shortage of soldiers and food in the west, so why not transport all the hungry people who have no food to the border with the Rong people, and let them rush without any tactics, and tell them: "There is food over there!" ”

Isn't this more powerful than locusts?

The people of Xijon and Beihu are not people? Are they not afraid of locusts?

If they come to rob us, why don't we rob them?

The rabbit is still biting when it is in a hurry, we can't catch up with the rabbit!

Cui Heng felt that the above ideas were very good, and immediately authorized Yun Jian to implement them.

Yunjian solved a large part of the starving people, and the Han defense line advanced several cities to Xirong, achieving a rare victory. I heard that the Rong people have already cried and shouted that the "Han disaster" is coming. The Han people felt that being called a scourge by their neighbors was a historic step forward – better than being pressed by their neighbors to rob them of food and clothing. Therefore, the people are very happy, and the lanterns are colored to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The weather is cold, the sandstorm has stopped, drought-resistant crops have been promoted, sweet potatoes and other things, are all looking for the Western Regions, Xirong originally planned to stop us: "We are enemies, why do I send seedlings to the enemy?" "This mentality. But the Han people showed that "don't give us seeds, okay, we'll eat you when you're ripe." Xijon also flinched.

The grasslands of Beihu have also been affected by the sandstorm in the west, and the pastures have been hit badly, and it is estimated that the sheep will be choking this winter. The Great Khan of Beihu even took the initiative to contact the Central Plains to see if Ming Chun could join forces to solve the desert problem. "If this continues, no one will have anything to eat."

The person who sent the letter also expressed his condolences to Yun Jian on behalf of the Great Khan: Is the golden eagle good?

It's so sour!

On the surface, this is the Great Khan who knew about the dogleg usurpation and the alliance with the Cloud Sword, but he didn't dare to intervene, showing great weakness. Actually? Since the Great Khan knows about the Golden Eagle, can he not know that the Cloud Sword broke a piece of the Tiger Talisman and gave it to the dog's leg? The Great Khan is threatening the Cloud Sword with a handle! - Look at the good things you do! It's better to be polite with me, or I'll go to your emperor to sue you." You Han people are taboo about this, right? Don't say whether your intentions are good for the Central Plains. Just give the tiger talisman to outsiders, and let your court know, you won't be troublesome!

Yun Jian smiled and replied, "The golden eagle has returned to the clouds." ”

The messenger was stunned: "The general let him go?" ”

"Yes." (To be continued......)
