Chapter Forty-Six: The Fire Lasts for a Hundred Miles

Yuan Shimin slept deeply.

However, I was awakened by this movement.

Yuan Shimin pushed the door out of his clothes, only to see that the sky was still bright, but he found that all the people in the city had already gone out.

Yuan Shimin had never seen such a situation.

It was not that he did not fail to see the people gathering in large numbers. On the contrary, he had seen too many, but at that time, it was all the people who had no food to eat, gathered together, begged the government for a bite to eat, and then it either turned into a riot or a massacre.

But so many people, under the guidance of officials, just do things in an orderly manner, Yuan Shimin is really rare.

In his memory, even the river workers on the Yellow River were indispensable to the overseer's whip. Otherwise, these people don't know what to do.

"Dude, what's going on?" Yuan Shimin asked.

"Last night, God didn't give face, the wheat seedlings in the field were frosted, General Zhang ordered everyone to go to the ground to light a fire to expel the frost god, and last night, the army was dispatched." One of the people said that he still had to pay tribute, so after saying that, he hurried over.

Yuan Shimin was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "If there was such a parent official when the disaster occurred a few years ago, my Yuan family would not have come to this road." ”

The fragility of ancient agriculture is unimaginable to modern people.

Some of the climate changes that modern people have never cared about are, for ancient people, natural disasters that cannot be tolerated.

Modern people can put on a few clothes and do things, but in ancient times, they couldn't bear the burden.

Zhang Xuan's image quickly grew up in Yuan Shimin's heart.

"Not good." After a while, Yuan Shimin remembered his mission and said secretly: "If something like this happens, can General Zhang still send troops to rescue Xiayi?" ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Shimin suddenly panicked. Immediately got up to find Zhang Xuan, and heard that Zhang Xuan was outside the city. And he immediately mounted his horse and set off.

Outside the city of Runing.

In the fields, bonfires were lit everywhere, and thousands of pillars of smoke rose into the sky. The blue sky was smoky to a gray one.

Now is the severe smog weather.

"Ahem, ahem." Zhang Xuan led more than a dozen people to walk through the piles of bonfires, and from time to time thick smoke came overhead. Zhang Xuan couldn't help coughing. The eyes are hot, and they are smoked.

Zhang Xuan saw an old man smoking dry tobacco in the field, looking at the crops in the field. stepped forward and squatted on the ground, and said, "How much can the old man have this harvest?" ”

The old man's face was furrowed, and he couldn't see how old he was for a while. And Zhang Xuan also knows that this year is not the future generations, the future generations are seriously aging, and in this era, there are not many old people who can live to life

Death. The old people who can really survive are a little bit unique.

And this old man, Zhang Xuan has seen before, is a famous Tian Gang style in the Runing area.

The old man is old and has seen all kinds of officials, but it is rare to see Zhang Xuan like this.

Zhang Xuan never felt that there was anything wrong with asking the old man, unlike other officials who seemed to feel that it was dirty to say a word to this old man. There are also officials who pass the word.

He took a puff of dry cigarette and spit it out, and the wind blew all over Zhang Xuan's face, and Zhang Xuan coughed violently twice.

The old man said, "You won't see it yourself. ”

Zhang Xuan looked over, the crops in the field were not as dense as he saw in modern times, and there was no chemical fertilizer, even if it was planted so densely, it was useless. And the wheat seedlings are much lower and listless, and almost all the leaves have a layer of hoarfrost.

He looked closely, and it seemed that the method of making a fire to keep warm also had a little effect, at least the wheat seedlings that were close to the fire did not seem to have this layer of hoarfrost on them.

However, you can't set fire too close, too close will also roast the wheat seedlings.

"Because the fire was made in time." The old man said, "The wheat by the fire has been saved." He waved his dry tobacco stick and said, "But the middle part is not easy to do." ”

Indeed, it takes space to make a fire.

You can only start a fire on the wheat seedlings in the field.

There is also a limit to the number of wheat seedlings that can be protected by each campfire, and as for some in the middle of the field, sorry, there is no power.

"How much can you keep?" Zhang Xuan said with a little apprehension.

For other issues, no one dares to give Zhang Xuan a ticket. It's all ambiguous.

The old man smoked dry cigarettes for a long time, so long that Zhang Xuan almost thought that the old man would not answer, and then he said: "Fifty percent, at least fifty percent." ”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Darkly: "At least there are no grains without harvest." Although there is a shortage of fifty percent of the grain, we can still get through it if we think of a way. After all, it's summer, not winter. ”

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Xuan got up and saluted and said. Then he walked up to the main road and said, "Let's go and see somewhere else." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yuanhai said.

The group walked away. The old man looked at Zhang Xuan's distant figure and said, "What a strange official." ”

On the way, Zhang Yuanhai said: "General, go back and rest, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xuan said: "When I was fighting in the Internet café, there were also people who didn't fit their eyes for two consecutive days. ”

Zhang Yuanhai didn't understand what the Internet café was, thought it was a place name, and said: "General, it's a war, and now it's okay, everyone here is responsible, you go back and close your eyes, there's nothing to do." ”

"It's also a war." Zhang Xuan said: "Take food from God's mouth. Just let me go back, how can I sleep. ”

"Report, General." A fast horse galloped over, and a personal soldier turned over and dismounted, and reported in front of Zhang Xuan's horse: "Yuan Shimin has been looking for the general, but the general can't see it." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xuan said: "Let's just say, before this matter is over, I won't see anyone." ”

"Yes." The soldier agreed, and immediately went back and said.

After a while, Zhang Zhen rode over and said, "General, it seems that there will be no frost tonight, should we continue to set fire overnight, or will we collect it today." ”

Zhang Xuan actually has feelings about this.

After all, it is already March, and even if there is a sudden abnormal climate, it will not last long.

Zhang Xuan felt that although it was cloudy today, he did not have the cold energy of yesterday.

But at this time, it's better to be cautious, it's been a day and a night, and it's not bad that this night, if God kills another carbine, wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts.

"Go on." Zhang Xuan said: "Let all the soldiers rest in shifts, and the people must also stay vigil, in short, it will continue today." After a tiring day, I will keep this food. ”

Food is human life, and this equation can be drawn in this era. Zhang Xuan didn't dare to be careless.

"Yes." The soldiers immediately went back to report.

Zhang Xuan started last night, in the second half of the night, and inspected all the winter wheat planting areas near Runing, of course, this is also related to the war in Runing last year, and the winter wheat planting is not too much.

Zhang Xuan simply didn't walk around at the beginning, and stopped in a field.

He sat by the campfire with his soldiers. Since Zhang Xuan was outside for the whole day, he drank cold water and ate dry food. If the mileage of Zhang Xuan's inspection is calculated, it is probably more than 100 miles. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't sit down for long, my eyes narrowed slightly, and my head was planted. Caught a fish.

Zhang Xuan only felt confused, he didn't know how much had passed, he felt as if his feet were empty, falling into the bottomless abyss, he raised his head suddenly. Suddenly woke up.

When I looked up, I found that the stars were hanging low, and they seemed to be leaning down from the sky. I don't know when it's clear.

Zhang Xuan was suddenly overjoyed and stood up suddenly.

Zhang Yuanhai, who was waiting on the side, immediately came over and said, "General, we are guarding here, you don't want to sleep for a while." ”

Zhang Xuan asked, "What time is it?" "Zhang Xuan has been in ancient times for such a long time, and the only life skill that he has never been able to learn is that the ancients seem to be able to judge what time it is as soon as they raise their heads.

"It's probably just past the hour." Zhang Yuanhai said.
