At this moment, it snowed heavily, and the snowflakes fell like goose feathers, enveloping the whole world in a white vast.

A Xiongguan like ice, but it is revealing the outline, this Xiongguan is across a vast mountain range, like the head of the dragon of Wolong, extraordinarily majestic.

Outside this majestic pass, a person who staggered and carried a huge burden seemed extraordinarily small.

Like an ant, the man panted tiredly as he walked.

His body was covered in snow, and even his bare clothes were already dirty, like a mud-stained mop.

He walked through the snow with difficulty against the icy wind, leaving a trail of deep footprints.

I saw that the eyebrows and eyes seemed to have frozen stiff, and only the mouth was still full of white gas.

Under the burden behind him, a few ice cubes actually formed, and when he took a step, the ice cubes trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and walked with difficulty with weight.

Finally, the whites of his eyes closed, and his barely radiant pupils jerked upward.

He saw Xiongguan, this moment......

He cried.

Finally...... The body could no longer support it, and the burden behind him shook, and it fell to the ground with a sonorous bang, countless pots and pans, as well as nest heads and half-bitten steamed cakes, all scattered in the snow.

He is Liu Jin.

The Liu Jin who hurriedly ran out of Jinzhou City, but couldn't find Ouyang Zhi, the Liu Jin who chased all the way for more than ten miles, and was unwilling to return to Jinzhou, thinking that Ouyang Zhi should be in front, so he gritted his teeth and continued to chase wildly.

After running for dozens of miles, he realized that he was very likely to go in the wrong direction, but he had to move on.

The one who finally found a post station, finally breathed a sigh of relief, rushed into the post station, and reported his identity, only to find that his ticket was Liu Jin in Ouyang Zhi's team.

The one who was beaten out by the messenger in the post station and lived in the wilderness, must return to Liu Jin.

The one who was stealing food and clothes along the way, but was chased for several miles by the dealer with a rake and the guard dog, but he ran fast and got rid of the farmer and the vicious dog.

The beggar all the way, holding pots and bowls, unkempt, and Liu Jin, who once cried in the street market and said that it was okay.

The Liu Jin who was beaten to the point of bleeding because he ate the overlord meal, and finally brushed the plate for a few days in the inn in the biting weather.

The one who still did not change his original intention, kept his mission in mind, still went south, and refused to be taken in by a kind old woman.

He...... To live.

To go back.

He finally understood why his father asked someone to cut his JJ and send him to the palace, and he began to have no resentment in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at this majestic pass standing between the white sky and the earth, and felt indescribable kindness, after this pass, there are two worlds, one heaven and the other hell.

But at this moment, he still wanted to cry...... So he whimpered silently in the snow.

We...... Liu Jin...... It's back!

Then, he collected his tears, got up, bent over, and picked up the nests, broken bowls, porcelain plates, iron pots, and half steamed buns on the ground, and carried a roll of familiar baggage on his back. Unkempt, he wiped his head with his hands hard, revealing a face full of pot ash.

He held his head high, his eyes were firm, and then he limped and continued to stride towards Shanhaiguan.

Under the snowstorm, a new footprint appeared in the vast snow like a blank landscape painting, and the footprints slowly extended into the distance, and finally, the snowflakes of goose feathers covered all the footprints.

……………………

In the East Investigation Factory, a person in short clothes hurriedly entered, and after a while, a stall head of the East Factory hurriedly came out, Pegasus to the noon gate, and there was already a eunuch waiting here.

The head of the stall whispered a few words to the eunuch in the doorway, and the eunuch understood, and rushed towards the depths of the palace.

The whole East Factory is like an old machine, but once it starts, it starts to run wildly.

Although the old ancestor was not scolded, it is said that in front of His Majesty, he did not know a few times in a row, which made the old ancestor so angry that he did not sleep well for several nights.

If ordinary people are angry, at most they will just go home and beat a dozen mothers-in-law.

But if the ancestors are so angry that they can't sleep and eat, the children and grandchildren are trembling, they know that if they don't sell their strength, they will die, and it is not others who will die, but themselves.

"Godfather......" The little eunuch was already panting and kneeling in the duty room of the celebrant supervisor.

At this time, Xiao Jing was leaning back on the chair, his face was pale, his eyes were full of anger, and several eunuchs were hunched over, and they didn't dare to come out and hugged Xiao Jing.

On the ground, scattered are a few letters sent by the cabinet to draft votes, according to the rules, the cabinet draft votes, the master of ceremonies approved red, of course, there is a procedure in the middle, and His Majesty the Emperor Zhu approved, but the world's affairs, as many as a cow's hair, not all trivial matters need to be handled by the emperor personally, therefore, these things fell on the head of the master of ceremonies.

If the emperor is lazy and may not even pay attention to the big things, and all the decisions are left to the celebrant to decide, then the celebrant will inevitably be powerful, because the affairs of the world are in their hands.

But if the emperor is diligent, all the celebrant can do is to assist the emperor and deal with some trivial matters.

The affairs of the world, no matter how big or small, as long as they are sent to the palace, even if they are only insignificant, are just a gesture in the eyes of the Manchu monarchs and ministers, but as long as they are outside the palace, in fact, it is a major event related to tens of thousands of people, and it determines the life and death of countless people.

Now, Xiao Jing lost his temper, he glared viciously at one of the big eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, and scolded angrily: "What is the use of keeping something like a dog? I said it a long time ago, Your Majesty's criticism of the red note also needs to be checked, don't you have eyes? Such a crucial red, you don't even raise your eyelids, and you send it out? ”

The big eunuch knelt down in fear, and said with tears in his eyes: "The slave and maid are ten thousand deaths." ”

And this little eunuch who just came from the noon gate saved him.

In the past few days, Grandpa Xiao's temper is not good, which is also well known.

The little eunuch lay on the ground and said, "Godfather, potato...... Found. ”

All of a sudden, Xiao Jing was shocked, and he didn't have the heart to care about the big eunuch anymore, so he only glanced at people.

The eunuchs understood, and hurriedly packed up the tickets scattered on the ground and retreated one after another.

In the celebrant supervisor, only Xiao Jing and the little eunuch remained.

Xiao Jing suppressed his excitement in his heart, showing a light appearance, slowly picked up the teacup, opened the lid of the tea, blew the tea foam in the teacup, and then gently spit out two words: "Say it." ”

The little eunuch said truthfully: "This potato is planted by the prince, Xinjian Bo, and Fengcheng Bo, and it is said that it is ripe, and it can be eaten or used as rations......

"Can it be used as a ration?" Xiao Jing said in surprise, and the indifference that he had tried to put on was finally unbearable.

He suddenly realized, why ...... Your Majesty will mention potatoes.

If it is an ordinary thing, His Majesty will not care about it, even if it is a longan and other rare things sent from the south, after His Majesty tastes it, at most he will just say that it is delicious, and sometimes he will even say that if it is just because of the tongue, it is really bad to send such things for thousands of miles, so it is a bad practice, so the tribute of longan and other things is eliminated.

But rations are different.

Xiao Jingke clearly remembered that when sweet potatoes appeared, it caused a shock in the imperial court.

And Your Majesty, how long have you been happy about this?

He squinted, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Gradually...... He began to have a little clue: "Same as sweet potato?" ”

The little eunuch said: "It's better than sweet potatoes, it is said to ...... Sweet potatoes can not completely replace rations, in Xishan, there are rumors, that sweet potatoes can be used as supplementary food, if there is a disaster year, it can indeed live countless people, but it is not easy to really replace rice and wheat. ”

Xiao Jing said with emotion: "Even so, it is enough to shock the world." ”

The little eunuch said: "And this potato is completely different, it can completely replace the staple food......

Call......

Xiao Jing's eyes widened suddenly, but a long breath came out of his mouth: "What else?" ”

The little eunuch thought for a while and said, "There are ...... It is said that the taste is very good, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally tasted it, and he said......"

Xiao Jing had already stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth: "Hurry up." ”

The little eunuch said, "Your Highness, he said...... It smells so good! ”

"It smells so good!" Xiao Jing raised his head and looked at Fang Liang, he was a little shocked: "This Fang Jifan, he really deserves to be favored by His Majesty, speaking of which, even we are beginning to like him, everyone is making a fuss and practicing bow horses, but he is doing the opposite...... Potato...... This name is not good, it should be called the fairy fruit, it can be seen how vulgar this person is, who has not read in the inner study...... Hehe......"

Xiao Jing's lips hooked up a sneer, and he was very disgusted with Fang Jifan's vulgarity.

Xiao Jing is most proud of the two things in his life, one of them is that he has read in the inner study, the emperors want to be lazy, but the eunuchs are illiterate, how can they help the emperor deal with the vast mountain? So someone came up with a solution, that is, to set up an internal study.

The person in charge of teaching in the inner study is Hanlin, teaching the eunuchs to read, of course, not all eunuchs have the opportunity to go, they are often carefully selected, and these eunuchs who have read books are like Jinshi among the scholars, and the future is great.

Xiao Jing is also a person who has read books, and his knowledge is not bad, after all, his teacher is also a first-class Hanlin bachelor, so he has to more or less despise those vulgar people, and say that it is ugly, you are not educated, we are discriminating against you.

But after thinking about it, all of a sudden, his face seemed to have eaten a fly, Fang Jifan...... Will it be uneducated? If you are not educated, how can you teach so many capable disciples?

Bite...... Is it inferior to people everywhere?

……………………

When writing about Liu Jin, the tiger felt that he was depressed, his mood was very complicated, maybe he was too deep, he wrote so many words every day, and the whole person was immersed in the book, to be honest, his mood changed a lot, sometimes he was irritable, sometimes he was sad, and the tiger suddenly thought that he and Liu Jin, except that the tiger had one more thing than him, were hard-working babies, ...... Come and support it, please, the monthly pass.
