"Crackle!"

The sound of dry wood bursting in the fire made Li Yuanjia blink his eyes subconsciously and wake up from his groggy state.

In the fireplace next to him, the firewood is burning.

It's a very traditional Western-style fireplace, the kind that burns wood. Li Yuanjia didn't know if there was this thing in ancient China, but it wasn't very complicated anyway, as long as the problem of the chimney was solved. So before moving in, Li Yuanjia let the craftsmen ...... in his study I made one in the next room.

Grab a book and sit on a chaise longue by the fireplace with a tea set next to it......

After the winter, Li Yuanjia fell in love with this feeling.

Lifting the blanket on his body, Li Yuanjia stood up from the recliner and asked casually, "Spring smoke, has the snow stopped outside?" ”

"Not yet, King."

While bringing over a cup of tea, Chunyan said with a smile: "It has been raining for a day and a night, and this snow is probably half a foot thick...... In this way, next year's harvest will definitely be good! ”

Ruixue Zhaofeng year, Li Yuanjia naturally understands in seconds.

A few years ago, the big locust plague in Datang, Chunyan was also one of the experiencers, she may not understand the principle of this, but the heavy snow means that next year's harvest is good, she still knows.

After the king took the teacup and took a sip of tea, and sighed comfortably, Chunyan hurriedly interjected and asked, "Wang, Yu Niang came over to ask again just now...... What would you like to eat tonight? ”

"At night? Hot pot bar. ”

Without thinking, Li Yuanjia gave his choice. With heavy snow outside and the occasional north wind whistling in your ears, what could be more appropriate than a hot pot?

"Ah......h

When Chunyan hurriedly went out to speak, Li Yuanjia stretched his waist and stretched his body with all his might, and suddenly felt that his body bones were about to rust!

At the end of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the weather was colder than any year in Li Yuanjia's memory.

Several heavy snowfalls in succession made the temperature in Chang'an City lower than one day by day, and it also completely locked the door of Han Wang's study and bedroom. Now, except for eating, Li Yuanjia almost doesn't go out of these two rooms - if it weren't for the hot pot fireworks, Li Yuanjia would have asked his subordinates to move all the charcoal fires to the study!

Li Yuanjia couldn't help but walk to the door, pushed open the door and glanced at it.

And then......

"Sizzle......"

Trembling all over, Li Yuanjia hurriedly closed the door again, blocking the cold outside. Seeing this, Liu Mei hurriedly took Li Yuanjia's coat over, and said with concern: "King, if you go out, put it on, it's too cold outside, be careful of catching a cold." ”

"Hmm."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuanjia still put on his clothes and walked out of the door, stood still in the middle of the courtyard, and then took a deep breath!

It's cold!

Although it was only snowing, and it was not yet the coldest time to melt the snow, Li Yuanjia still felt the chill to the bone. However, a breath of cold air inhaled into his lungs, which made his whole body refreshed, and the drowsiness caused by being in the house all the time suddenly dissipated.

Looking up at the sky, countless snowflakes are falling!

I don't know why, Li Yuanjia suddenly wanted to chant a poem, a poem related to snow, to express the sudden romance in his heart at this time!

And then......

After looking at the sky with his hands and posing, Li Yuanjia was stunned.

it!

What are the ancient poems about snow?

"Ahem! Ahem! …… The point is that this body is too strenuous and there are no ideas! ”

The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of it, and coughed embarrassedly twice, Li Yuanjia quickly attributed the reason why he couldn't think of poems to the leather coat weighing more than ten catties on his body - in order to prove this, he also walked around the yard a few times and felt the amazing weight of the fur on his body!

And then......

The embarrassment just now quickly dissipated, and Li Yuanjia began to miss a warm and light clothes: "Alas, it would be nice to have a down jacket now...... Just one set! Tsk, I don't know if the technology of this era can make a set? ”

But after thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjia still shook his head.

With his current status and financial resources, there is naturally no pressure to get enough duck down or goose down to make a set of down jackets. But it's not easy to completely eliminate the smell of duck down and find a material that can completely seal it up without revealing it.

One of the keys to the popularity of down jackets is the emergence of coated fabrics.

It is undoubtedly a fantasy to expect those people to come up with it this year, so if Li Yuanjia wants to use down, he may have to give up something......

"King, Yang Changshi sent someone to send the paperwork!"

Just when Li Yuanjia moved a few times, thinking about what else he could do before eating, the housekeeper Han Shan hurriedly came over and hurriedly saluted when he saw Li Yuanjia.

"Ahem! Take it in. ”

With a cough, Li Yuanjia asked Han Shan to follow him into the house, and then casually opened the paperwork sent by Yang Su. Although he, the Yongzhou pastor, has never been in charge of things, but like the one in Luzhou, Yang Su has never neglected Li Yuanjia, and always sends a document every ten days, telling his boss what has happened these days and how he has dealt with it......

Occasionally, when the interest comes, Li Yuanjia will also open it and take a look.

Of course, it is just a matter of looking at it twice, and Li Yuanjia will definitely not interfere in specific government affairs. Sometimes he just wants to know what's going on lately......

"Huh?"

After watching it for only ten seconds today, Li Yuanjia's expression sank!

"More than 100 houses were crushed by heavy snow, and more than 40 people froze to death?"

After seeing these black and white figures, Li Yuanjia's good mood was immediately swept away, and his expression instantly became heavy.

This winter, it's really too cold!

For Li Yuanjia, the impact of the heavy snow is just some inconvenience, such as not being able to go out as he wants...... Just now, he was even considering that a down jacket is lighter and warmer than a fur coat, but it is a little more difficult to make. But for the poor, the snow means not only cold and hunger, but even death!

Especially those who are destitute, this kind of ghost weather is a reminder issued by Lord Yama!

I don't know when, Li Yuanjia returned to the middle of the courtyard, looked up at the large snowflakes that flew down, and suddenly no longer felt that they were full of poetry.

"More than 40 lives......"

This is just Chang'an, just the numbers of the past few days, and Chang'an is still the richest city in the world! What if the scope is extended to the whole of Datang, the whole winter?

I didn't dare to think about it, and when I thought about it, my heart was even colder than my body......

……

On the way, the mobile phone code word, let's watch it.
