The cold wind gusted, the snow was white, and the huge northern country turned into a white world overnight...... and with a "click", a house somewhere in Zhuo County was crushed by snow, and with the crying of women and the cursing of men, the world began to become noisy.

"It seems to be the old man's family......" The father leaned against the stove and shook his head, "Deran, get some charcoal in the firewood room." ”

"Why is it so cold?" Liu Tao muttered, but still got up and walked to the firewood room. Filial piety comes first, and on such a cold day, you can't let your dad go out in the cold wind.

The family is not poor, nor is it too rich. Maybe it's quite wealthy in itself...... But his father would always give half of his income to the idle brother Liu Bei. Yes, this is a legendary figure who became the emperor, but what does this have to do with him Liu Tao and Liu Deran?

When Liu Bei was the most developed, he didn't know if he had taken care of his brothers in Zhuo County. Do you still remember that since Liu Yuan, who has funded him since he was a child, do you remember that Liu Deran, who worshiped under Master Lu with him?

Anyway, he didn't see Liu Deran's follow-up record in the history books, perhaps, he passed away early, right?

"Is there coal around Zhuoxian?" Liu Deran tightened his leather jacket, "Why didn't you make some preparations before?" ”

In the era of no cotton, the winter in the north could not be separated from the fire. There is not even a hand stove in the huge family, and after leaving the stove, the only thing I can rely on is the sheepskin jacket on my body. The style is different from the memory, the skin is on the inside and the hair is on the outside. In the end, there is no cotton, and the sheepskin is inside and the wool is outside, so that the windproof and warm effect will be better.

Pushing open the firewood room, he took a bundle of smaller ones from a large pile of charcoal, and walked tremblingly towards the main entrance.

The Fang family is near his home, and he can't compare with the Liu family. The house where I lived was passed down for three generations, and it was 'old' in the end. Just the sound just now, I'm afraid that the girder collapsed.

"Brother Deran, are you here too?" As soon as I went out, I met my neighbor Lu Yan, the Lu family was originally a poor family, but this generation began to be developed, because there was a Lu Zhi in the family.

This person is Lu Zhiyan's eldest son, and his name is Cangshan. There is no record in history, at least Liu Tao doesn't remember such a person, but Lu Yu, who was born last year, still has some impressions. Perhaps, like Liu Deran, he is also a short-lived ghost, right?

"Cangshan?" Seeing someone coming, Liu Tao hurriedly stepped forward, "Hearing the sound, my father ordered me to bring a bundle of charcoal over." ”

"This winter's ......" Hearing Liu Tao's words, Lu Yan sighed, that's all.

It's not convenient to do anything in winter, if the ordinary place collapses, let's work together to repair it, and it's okay to make do with it. If the main beam is broken, you have to spend money to go to the timber merchant and buy a suitable piece of timber to come back.

"yes...... The ...... of the big winter" Liu Tao only echoed.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them also came back from Lao Fang's house. The situation of their house is not very good, it is indeed that the main beam is broken, and the collapsed place just buried the old man Fang, and the neighbors worked together to dig out the old man, and the person died early.

The key is that most of the house collapsed, the cold wind was bleak, and it was a problem to repair it, and the young son of the Fang family was frozen to the point that his face turned purple......

"The life of the people is not very easy." On the way back, Lu Yan sighed, "It's not surprising that there will be a rebellion." ”

"Huh?" Liu Tao's ears twitched, and he immediately asked, "Cangshan, what did you just say?" Who rebelled?! ”

"Oh, that's the case...... Lu Yan looked left and right when he heard this, and confirmed that there was no one, before he whispered, "My father sent a letter, saying that the Taiping Sect disciple Tang Zhou accused the Taiping Sect of plotting to rebel. The imperial court ordered the arrest of Taiping believers throughout the country, which seems to have forced Zhang Jiao to rebel in advance. My father warned us to be careful, after all, the Taiping Sect traitors might go north into Zhuo County. ”

Liu Tao looked shocked when he heard this, but the hand under the leather jacket secretly clenched.

A year ago, I knew that I had traveled to 183 AD, and I was scared and overwhelmed for more than a month, and then it took me half a month to calm down. After that, it took a full ten months to prepare for the future.

"How does the imperial court plan to deal with it?" In order to further confirm, Liu Tao still asked tentatively.

"I didn't say anything specific, but I just said that now Taiping followers are flocking in the Dahan states, with the slogan 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and the yellow scarf as the symbol, with more than one million people. With the existing troops of the imperial court, I am afraid that it may not be able to be easily exterminated. If it drags on, I am afraid that the place will be eroded for too long, and even if this group of yellow turban thieves is exterminated, the vitality of the states will be greatly damaged. Lu Yan sighed.

"Cangshan, according to what you said, the imperial court is not strong enough, so will it allow local states and counties to spontaneously form armies to resist, and even allow Liangjiazi to form a militia to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves?" Liu Tao suppressed his excitement, and then said cautiously.

"I can't say for sure......," Lu Yan thought for a while, "It's better to say that it would be nice if it could be like this!" The border army of Youzhou is too far away from Zhuo County, if you wait for the Yellow Turban thieves to enter Zhuo County, you will report for help, and when the border army comes, Zhuo County is afraid that it will already be in dire straits. ”

"In that case!" Liu Tao began to instigate, "Why don't you write to Shizun and ask him to make this suggestion to the imperial court." In other words, even if he doesn't propose it, he can give it to a very powerful person! ”

"Brother Deran has a point, I'll write to my father when I go back! I only hope that the road is stable now, and the letter can be sent......" Lu Yan heard this, and immediately made a decision.

Liu Tao didn't stop it, chatted for a few words, and the two said goodbye and went back to their respective homes. He knew very well that according to history, He Jin would write and admonish like this, but it didn't happen in the end, so he needed an insurance.

At the same time, even if He Jin has already written the book, Lu Zhi will inevitably deepen his impression of Lu Yan when he sees Lu Yan's letter, which is very important for the follow-up plan.

"There are cakes in the back kitchen, so heat them up a little when you eat them." As soon as he got home, Liu Yuanqi's voice came from the hall.

"Oh...... I'll go to Zhang's house later, and I probably won't be back for dinner tonight. Liu Tao shouted over there.

"Got it......" Liu Yuanqi's voice came back, looking indifferent.

In the back kitchen, there are a few pieces of whole wheat cakes on the plate, not to mention the fermentation, or directly baked out of the clay pot, there is no grease at all, there is no salt in the cake, but fortunately, there is a small plate of dried pickles.

There is nothing to eat in the winter, and it has been a year since he crossed here, Liu Tao has long been used to it, and he made a little effort to make a fire, heated the cake with a retort (zeng), rolled the pickles and ate them in three bites and two bites, and then poured in a big bowl of warm water, and this meal was okay.

I tidied up my clothes, mainly straightening my hair crown. It is said that his identity is generally a hairpin, at most a turban, such as the Zhang family's advocacy of flying, which is like this.

He had previously worshiped under Lu Zhi's door, and the latter personally saluted the crown for him, and it was with this identity that he was allowed to wear the crown. From the moment he wore the crown, he also had a new name 'Hanshi'!

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I came to a house. Limited by the identity of the head of the family, it is not luxurious and tall, but the people living in it are the largest wine and meat merchants in Zhuo County, and they almost monopolize the wine and meat business in Zhuo County.

"It's Master Liu, please come in, please come in!" When he came to the gate, the porter recognized Liu Tao at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and the other person quickly ran back, thinking that he was going to report to the head of the family.

"Brother came just in time!" As soon as Liu Tao entered the door, the family advocated flying and came over with a smile, "Come, come in and drink with me!" ”
