On the other hand, Cheng Chumo's status in the Suguo Mansion is also rising.

is no longer the Cheng Chumo who was already the one who was seen by Cheng Yanjin and wanted to slap him twice and kick him twice.

"Yes, the big deal that Gongzi brought to Cheng Gongzi is downstairs. This deal also has a share of Qin Gongzi, Wei Chi Gongzi and Niu Gongzi. ”

Hou San said truthfully.

"Oh, show us a few of you, what a big deal."

When Cheng Chu heard this, he immediately looked impatient, urging him to hurry downstairs to check.

Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huailiang and the others also immediately screamed excitedly.

A few people went downstairs just in time to see the black, shiny coal unloaded from the car.

"A few sons and brothers, it's this big deal."

Hou San pointed to the coal and said.

"This fucking thing with a black face can still be traded?"

Cheng Chumo looked like he didn't believe it.

The upright Yu Chi Baolin gritted his teeth and was furious, if it wasn't for the silence in the process, he would have gone up and hugged him a long time ago......

"Cheng Gongzi doesn't know, this is the best material for heating in winter, and now in our Linjia Village, every household uses it for heating, but it is warm."

"Oh, it's coal that can be burned?"

"Yes, it's coal that can be burned."

"No wonder my brother wants me to make a stove for these things?"

Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh fiercely and finally understood.

I only heard a miserable scream from Yu Chi Baolin ringing in everyone's ears.

"I'm sorry, Pauling. I didn't mean to, I obviously slapped my thigh, why did my hand run to your leg? ”

Cheng Chumo's innocent look made everyone cry and laugh.

"A few sons, Lin Gongzi means to set up a stall on the edge of Chang'an City, this winter is particularly cold, Gongzi said that the sales must be very large, the most important thing is that the price is fifty percent cheaper than charcoal."

"Hou San, this is too cheap, can it still make money?"

"Childe, if you can make money, it is all produced by our Linjia Village, Childe is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to see the people frozen, the price is too high, and the people are reluctant to buy it."

Hou San replied truthfully.

"Look, look... My brother's character, Xiao Jiu is indeed worth learning from a few of us as elder brothers. Hou San, go back and tell Xiao Jiu that this matter is done, and I will go find a place today. ”

"Cheng Gongzi, don't worry. Childe said that it was not too late to talk about the heavy snow in the past. ”

"Third brother, the wine and food you made are ready, take the brothers to have a glass of wine and warm up."

Liu Peng's voice came from the lobby.

"Hou San, go ahead. Go to the bar, go back and tell Xiao Jiu that you don't have to worry about Chang'an City, there are eight brothers to take care of, and there is no problem. ”

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said, this time it was really on his chest.

After eating the wine and food, Hou San and the others said goodbye to Liu Peng and returned to Linjia Village.

I never thought that the goose feather snow would fall heavier and heavier, and in the end, the whole person couldn't open his eyes.

By the time they arrived at Linjia Village, it was already evening.

"Childe, I almost couldn't come back. Horses don't dare to walk anymore... The brothers got out of the car and pulled the horses and walked back. ”

"Anyway, it's good to be back. I'm afraid it will rain for a few days and nights, and if you are trapped in the middle of the road, you will freeze to death. ”

When Lin Ran saw Hou San and the others coming back, a stone in his heart could be regarded as landing.

"Hou San, organize the soldiers and prepare the salt. Sprinkle salt on the roof of the vegetable greenhouse, the pigsty, and the chicken coop, otherwise the snow will crush the shed. ”

Lin Ran opened his mouth and asked.

"Childe, what's the use of sprinkling salt?"

Hou San was puzzled, he couldn't figure out what the snow on this roof had to do with sprinkling salt.

"Hou San, you'll know why after half an hour after you finish sprinkling."

Lin Ran replied with a smile.

"Okay, my subordinates will organize the soldiers to sprinkle salt."

"Don't worry, it's not too late to fill your stomach before you go, you must be tired when you come back with the carriage····· Eat more meat. ”

Lin Ran said with concern.

Today's soldiers, Lin Ran has treated them as his own family, otherwise there would be no Zhang Zheng's sacrifice.

Everything in the world is not wishful thinking, and the relationships and feelings between people are also proportional to their own efforts.

Although it is inevitable that there will be a few white-eyed wolves, it is a special case after all, and a group of loyal warriors cannot be abandoned just because of one or two white-eyed wolves.

"Well, thank you, Childe. I'll eat first. ”

After Hou San was full of food and drink, he immediately led hundreds of soldiers straight to the vegetable greenhouse.

The reason why I bring so many people is because I want to fight quickly, and if there are fewer people, the efficiency will definitely not be able to keep up.

Zhang Zhengze led the remaining hundreds of people straight to the pigsty and chicken coop.

Salt is available in Linjia Village, and even these people can't eat it in their lifetime.

"Father, mother. There was a lot of snow outside, and Erchen's shoes were all soaked in snow. ”

After dinner, Princess Changle ran out and returned without a blink of an eye.

Because Changle is particularly warm here, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun were reluctant to leave after lunch, and stayed until the evening.

"Why is there so much snow this year, Erlang has never seen it in previous years."

Empress Changsun said in surprise when she saw Changle's shoes that were submerged in snowflakes.

"Guanyin, snow is good for crops, I remember that Doctor Sun said that this year's locust plague is that there was no heavy snow in the past, and the winter was too warm to cause the spread of the locust plague. Now that the snow is heavy and the weather is freezing, there will be no more locust plagues next year. The common people finally have a good year to live. ”

His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.

"Erlang, I'm afraid that this snow will become a disaster if it continues like this."

"Snow Disaster?···"

His Majesty Li Er fell into deep thought.

"Erlang, such a heavy snowfall, I'm afraid that a lot of precarious houses will collapse, there are no houses to live in in this cold winter, how can the people survive this winter?"

Empress Eldest Sun said worriedly, and at the same time, her face became more and more solemn.

His Majesty Li Er's face changed instantly when he heard this, such a serious problem, he didn't expect it to be today, it was indeed his own dereliction of duty.

"Guanyin, is there a good solution?"

"The concubines can't think of a good way." Empress Eldest Sun shook her head helplessly and said.

"What can I do? I can't watch this snow collapse, the people's houses, just after the locust plague, the snow plague comes, God, why is this happening? ”

His Majesty Li Er was not only sad, but also looked haggard, and sat down on the stool all of a sudden.

"Third brother, why do you have to sprinkle the salt grains of these white flowers on the roof of the shed?"

The soldiers asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, Childe let me sprinkle it, Childe can't say an hour, I can find the answer. Let's sprinkle it from this end for almost an hour, and then we'll see when we come back. ”

Hou San responded loudly against the north wind and heavy snow.

"Father, mother. Are you worried that the snow won't melt and collapse people's houses? ”

Princess Changle flashed a pair of beautiful big eyes and spoke.

"Yes, how can the people's houses bear this snow?"

His Majesty Li Er replied in distress.

"Father, mother. Erchen has a way to solve this problem, but there is one condition. ”

Princess Changle raised her head with big eyes and said, His Majesty Li Er.

"Changle, don't look for your father's happiness, your father is upset now."

Empress Eldest Sun said unhappily.

"Queen Mother, the sons are not unreasonable, the sons are serious."

After saying that, Princess Changle took out the bucket of salt that Lin Ran handed to her when she returned today.

"What you need to solve the snow disaster is salt."

Princess Changle said eloquently.

"How did Changle know, if the salt can solve the snow disaster, the father will also come out with the salt, and now the Tang Dynasty no longer has to worry about the salt."

His Majesty Li Er eagerly looked at Princess Changle and asked, guessing in his heart that it should be related to Changle's visit to Linjia Village today.

Sure enough, Princess Changle's following words confirmed His Majesty Li Er's guess.

"Father, this bucket of salt was given to his son when Lin Gongzi came, and told his son that if the snow is too thick for the carriage to pass, he can sprinkle the salt on the snow and wait for a while."

Princess Changle replied truthfully.

"There is such a magical thing, this is the first time I have heard of the concubine today, why don't we go to the palace to try it, the truth or falsehood can have results in a moment."

Empress Changsun's words received a positive response from His Majesty Li Er and Princess Changle.

So the three of them went out of the temple together.

Princess Changle grabbed a handful of salt grains at the door and sprinkled them on the snow at the door.

Something magical happened.

Under the gaze of three people and six eyes.

The snow at the doorway was slowly melting, and the snowflakes eroded by the salt particles soon melted into water, forming a small clearing in the doorway.

"Wow, it's really amazing, Lin Gongzi is so good."

Seeing this, Princess Changle jumped up and down.

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun's originally constricted brows also relaxed.

"What a genius in the heavens, Lin Gongzi is simply sent by God to solve problems for me."

His Majesty Li Er said happily.

"Erlang, the concubine really can't imagine that this salt has such a wonderful use, and Changle can be regarded as a great achievement this time."

Empress Changsun lovingly stroked Princess Changle's hair, and then spoke.

"Changle won't blame the queen mother, I didn't believe your words just now, did he?"

"Queen Mother, how could Changle blame the Queen Mother for her worries? The queen mother is also thinking about Changle. ”

Princess Changle showed two sweet dimples on her cheeks, and threw herself into the arms of Empress Changsun and spoke.

"Go back to the palace, it's cold outside."

At this time, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it is impossible to see anything beyond ten meters. A gust of north wind, singing songs that people didn't like to hear, swept in, blowing flying snowflakes into the necks of several people.

His Majesty Li Er took the hands of Princess Changle and Empress Changsun and returned to the fire.

"Immediately summoned Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, and Fang Xuanling, the prime minister, to me. I have something important to explain..."

His Majesty Li Er said to the chamberlain.

Not long after, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui rushed to the palace in the heavy snow.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er could not let the two ministers enter Princess Changle's boudoir.

So he also braved the heavy snow, and stepped on the snowflakes all the way to the imperial study.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and the military department Shangshu Du Ruhui began to disbelieve in His Majesty Li Er's method of sprinkling salt and snow.

After seeing it with your own eyes, you will admire the five-body throwing to the ground.

"Your Majesty has the world in mind, and the ministers admire it."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's words made His Majesty Li Er very useful.

"The two Aiqing are my right-hand men, and such important matters can only be supervised by the two Aiqing themselves, so that I can sleep peacefully."

His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.

"Third brother, the last row of salt is sprinkled, the son is really willing, this white flower of salt, just sprinkle it."

"Okay, let's go back and see what the greenhouses in the first row are like now."

Hou San patted the snowflakes on his body and said.

Before the group reached the end, they heard the sound of raindrops falling.

The sound of ticking made the soldiers involuntarily look up at the roof of the shed.

The melting snow is flowing happily downward, and they can't wait to throw themselves into the arms of Mother Earth.

"So that's it, haha, haha. I finally understand why Childe asked us to sprinkle salt. In order to prevent the roof of the shed from being crushed by the snow......"

Hou San said with a smile.

All the soldiers suddenly realized, and their admiration for Lin Ran became more and more like a surging river......

"Childe, it's gone, it's all gone."

Hou Sanyi walked all the way back to the castle in Linjia Village in the thick snow, and happily reported to Lin Ran.

"Thank you for your hard work, get up early tomorrow and sprinkle salt on the roads of our four villages, otherwise I am afraid that the children will not be able to come to school."

Lin Ran said with a smile.

In order to keep the bodies of the children in the four villages from harm, it is worth wasting a little more salt.

"Forget it, inform the children to review their homework at home for the time being, the wind and snow are also very risky. Wait until the snow has cleared before announcing the start of school. ”

Lin Ran solemnly explained.

"Yes, Childe. I know, so I'll send someone to inform the villagers in the other villages. ”

The next day's heavy snow still didn't stop breathing.

The whole world was covered with snow, and the people of Chang'an City were awakened in the morning by the sound of soldiers stepping on the snow.

To their astonishment, the soldiers sprinkled snow-white grains of salt onto their roofs.

When snow slid down the roofs, the people realized that the soldiers were saving their houses.

With tears in their eyes, many people knelt down and saluted the soldiers.

Pulled up by the soldiers.

"Fellow, it doesn't have to be like this. I heard that the general said that it was a holy decree issued by His Majesty himself, and the houses of the people of Chang'an City must be protected from being crushed by the snow......"

His Majesty Li Er's move won the support and love of a large number of people.

It also made his reputation and prestige among the people increase all of a sudden!

The discourse spread against him by floods and droughts and locust plagues pale and ridiculous at this time.

Your Majesty is willing to consume a lot of salt for the safety of the people's houses.

What could be more convincing?

This is a living, really good majesty who loves the people like a son, such a majesty is not worthy of support and love, do you still kneel and lick the absurd and unscrupulous faint king?

The voices of the people naturally reached the ears of His Majesty Li Er, and the joy in His Majesty Li Er's heart was much happier than when he married the concubine.

The reputation of the people is not something that can be exchanged in a few words, it needs to be hard-working.

After the snow cleared, the people of Chang'an City found that there was a wide place to sell coal in the south of the city.

Coal is something that ordinary people don't dare to hope for, so let's get colder, it's a big deal not to go out during the day and exercise more at night......

Well, even if you can exercise, but you can also help each other and keep warm, why not?

As a result, I asked for the price.

In an instant, this guy went crazy, no one could pull it, so he had to come to a hundred pounds first.

A hundred catties only cost ten yuan, and it is not a little cheaper than charcoal.

So the news instantly passed through word of mouth, but in half a day, the people of the entire Chang'an City were dispatched.

A wide area at the south gate of Chang'an City has become the most lively place in Chang'an City this winter.

The shops that were originally backlogged with charcoal and were ready to take advantage of the cold winter to make a lot of money were all dumbfounded.

sent someone to inquire, and the coal turned out to be sold by the sons and daughters of the four generals.

They are all unprovoked Lords!

Admit it obediently.

The faces of the four generals became more and more ruddy.

This little day has never been so prosperous as this year.

Every day, there are four little rabbits who salute the good wine and good food, and now the whole box of copper plates is moved to the house every month.

It was much higher than the four of their generals, and while they were jealous and envious, they also secretly rejoiced.

After all, the money went into his own account.

"Lao Cheng, it's still a filial son under the stick. Look at these kids, after being beaten up by the four of us last time, this guy has become a good boy. I have never been so rich, but I didn't expect that the most money was earned by my stupid big Baolin. ”

"Don't be stupid all day long, Baolin is stupid, according to my old Cheng's opinion, you are a hundred times more fucking stupid than Baolin, last time there was obviously a grasshopper left, and you still robbed me of the ......"

General Cheng Lao is really a stubble that can't be opened, and the upright General Wei Chi gritted his teeth and was angry......

Obviously, it's you Cheng Cheng biting Jin and robbing me of Wei Chi Jingde's grasshopper, okay?

I've seen shameless people, but people like Cheng Yanjin who don't want it, Wei Chi Jingde really calls the heavens and the earth unspiritual!

His Majesty Li Er ordered the soldiers who defended Chang'an City to clear the snow on the roads of Chang'an City.

The people of the entire Chang'an City were dispatched to fight side by side with the soldiers.

The army and the people work together, and their profits are gold.

Soon the thick snow on the road was cleared.

Chang'an City, which had been snowed and sunny, returned to its original appearance.

After the early dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji and the prime minister Fang Xuanling were deliberately left behind by His Majesty Li Er.

"Auxiliary machine and Xuan Ling, go back to the house to change your clothes, don't wear official clothes, and go to me and the queen for a private visit."

"Minister, wait until your majesty's command."

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling immediately respectfully retired.

"Auxiliary, do you know where Your Majesty wants to go?"

On the way out of the palace, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji walked side by side.

Because the mansions of the two families are closely connected, they just stop by when they return home.

Because of this, the relationship between the two families has always been good, and the eldest grandson Chong and Fang Yiai have been good friends since childhood.

"Xuan Ling, I don't know where Your Majesty wants to go? Maybe it has something to do with the heavy snowfall. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said after a little thought.

"Could it be that I am leading you and me to see the damage to the houses in the countryside?"

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Possibly... Since the queen and mother are traveling together, let's let the butler put on the carriage. ”

"Yes, yes. What the auxiliary machine said was very true, I asked the butler to put on the carriage, and the auxiliary machine could go with me. ”

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling's words made the eldest grandson Wuji very happy.

"In this way, thank you Brother Xuanling for the auxiliary machine."

The two returned to the mansion and changed into their regular clothes, and in the surprised eyes and concerned voices of the two ladies, they walked out of the mansion almost at the same time.

The housekeeper had already prepared the carriage.

The two boarded the carriage and headed straight for the palace.

"Let the auxiliary machine and Xuan Ling wait for a long time......"

Not long after the two of them got off the carriage, His Majesty Li Er's carriage walked out of the palace gate.

"Uncle ......"

The crown prince Li Chengqian opened the curtain and shouted cordially to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are also going out of the palace?"

"Well, the father and the queen mother agreed to take Chengqian to Linjia Village together."

At this time, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Officials, knew that they had gone to Linjia Village for a private visit.

"Auxiliary, Xuan Ling. Since it is a private interview with Weifu, I must not reveal my identity. ”

"Obey."

The two replied in unison.

Everyone boarded the carriage and went straight to Linjia Village in Wannian County.

"Father, mother. You see, from here on, there is not a trace of snow on the road paved with bluestone slabs. ”

Prince Li Chengqian's immature child's voice sounded in the carriage.

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but look out the window.

Sure enough, the bluestone road is smooth and tidy, and it is the same as the road in Chang'an City.

"It should be Mengjia Village in front, and after Mengjia Village is Linjia Village, no wonder Changle chattered last time, saying that the roads of the four villages near Linjia Village are paved with bluestone slabs. This kid from Linjia Village is thoughtful and thoughtful, beyond the reach of ordinary people! I thought that the snow on this road was also cleaned by Lin Gongzi. ”

His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, Linjia Village has arrived, and there is a newly built castle in front of it." The chief attendant of the car spoke.

Several people looked out of the window at the same time, and sure enough, a brand new castle appeared in front of them.

"What Changle said is true, it is indeed a beautiful castle. Linjia Village is very rich now. ”

"Village Chief, someone is looking for you at the door. I look like Lao Li came last time. ”

Liu Laohan, who was guarding the village gate, ran to the door of the school and said breathlessly.

"Lao Li, you can be regarded as here. Why didn't Xiao Li come with you? ”
