"But we'll have to be quicker. It's snowing over there! Caizhu pointed to the field where there was only barren grass after the harvest and reminded.

This year's snow came a month earlier than usual. According to the elderly, next year could be a dry year. The Meteorological Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs has also issued disaster warnings to Chuhe Province, Tien Shan Province, Hebei Province, Khiva Province and other provinces, including Xiaye, that drought and floods may occur next year.

Although this news is worth paying attention to for Dayuan, there is no need to worry too much.

Because Dayuan has established a relatively complete mechanism for disaster prevention and other aspects. Each province has built a disaster emergency material base, which can respond to various disasters in the first time. In addition, the land of Dayuan is vast and sparsely populated, and many places are uncivilized.

Therefore, even if a natural disaster occurs, the impact on agricultural production is limited.

After all, the three concentrated grain-producing areas of Hezhong, Chu River, and Khorasan have never relied on precipitation to develop agricultural production. As long as there is ice and snow and rivers, there is no fear of no harvest.

"The county guard of Yelu said that it would be another day, and he would reach Puhua County. From where you take a boat, you can go straight down the river to Eminem. Then take the official road, and it is the capital city of Malu. When Chayan thought of Yelu Chongde's words, he yearned for the Tao.

"Puhua! That's the most prosperous city in Dayuan. Princess, if you get to Puhua, can you ······ it?" Caizhu said with some embarrassment.

"You! The team will probably buy some food somewhere, so let's go shopping when the time comes! Cha Yan also wanted to see with his own eyes what Pu Hua was like, and said with a smile.

While the master and servant were talking and laughing, the convoy stopped in a small town called Qierman.

It is said to be small, but in the eyes of Chayan, it is already very big. The house stretches for ten miles along the official road. Among them, the houses on the right side of the official road are densely packed and stretch to the river. Look across the river, there are also dense houses.

It's just that there are no city walls in Qiermancheng, and the gathering areas of the three areas are all expanding outward without borders. Observing their convoy, they stopped at an inn next to the official road to rest. Due to the large number of caravans in the past, this official road is lined with inns and wine shops. There are also some sellers of local mountain goods, which are bought by passing caravans.

Entering the inn, the store first served a pot of herbal tea to everyone.

However, Yelu Chongde prefers iced soda, so he said, "Shop, is there sweet water in the ice cellar?" ”。

"Yes, yes! It's just that the price ······," the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and smiled a little awkwardly.

The price of soda is still relatively expensive in Dayuan!

This is because soda has not been on the market for a long time and the production scale is not large. Therefore, the price is inflated. But the taste is sweet and astringent, and taking a sip makes people have an endless aftertaste.

When Yelu Chongde heard this, he scolded with a smile: "Even if it's up, it's not bad for that money!" ”。

There was such a lucrative deal, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed. So he hurried to the ice cellar to get soda and served it to Jelu Chongde and them.

Caizhu has eaten sorbet on broken leaves. That's why I prefer sorbet to soda that I haven't drunk. Chayan asked for a separate one for him, and the people began to eat and drink.

It didn't take long for another convoy to arrive.

When Chayan looked at these people, he knew that he had come from the same place as himself. Because these people all have the hair ornaments of the Xia Kingdom and wear the clothes of the Xia Kingdom.

Since the opening of the trade route between Gansu Province and the Central Plains, the number of Xia caravans to and from the Western Regions has increased.

It's just that now the broken leaves are snowing, and the north is gradually wintering. But there is still a caravan from the Xia Kingdom going south, which is really a bit strange.

When the group saw that there were a lot of them and some of them were wearing armor, they couldn't help but be vigilant. So he went to the corner and sat down, some distance from Jerod Chongde and them.

During this period, the two parties ate their own meals, but they were also fine.

Until another caravan came in and sat in the gap between the caravan of Yelu Chongde and the Xia Kingdom. They were dressed in the style of the Northland tribes and spoke a Uighur-like dialect. Chayan only understands a few bytes, as if he is complaining about the ghost weather in the river.

And no wonder!

The river is blocked by mountains in the north, which has a certain buffering effect on the cold air. In addition, the surrounding area is full of deserts, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large. There are four seasons in a day, not a joke.

In the morning, they were still wearing thicker skirts, but by noon they had changed to thinner skirts. Now it is because the sun outside is too scorching that I have to settle down in the inn.

The tribes of the Northland were rougher. When drinking wine and eating meat, they also talk and laugh a lot. Although Chayan is a little disliked, he will not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

But suddenly there was a bang, and the cup shattered to the ground. The tribe of the Northlands suddenly drew their swords from their skins and slashed at them.

Yelu Chongde immediately realized that it was not good, and shouted for the guards to block it.

I saw that these people's goals were very accurate!

As soon as he made his move, he went straight to Chayan to kill.

Although Yelu Chongde didn't have time to think about it, he also knew that the identity of Chayan was important. Because Xia Guo and Dayuan got married, they could add a safety lock to the relationship between the two countries. In particular, it played a very prominent role in counteracting the influence of Mongolia on the Xia Kingdom.

"Princess, go!" , Caizhu was frightened and stood in front of Chayan, showing his loyalty.

"Don't be afraid! The Warden of Jerod will keep us safe! Cha Yan said. Although she was also scared in her heart, since this group of people was staring at her, it was useless to hide. It's better to brake with stillness and believe in Yelu Chongde's ability.

At this time, the Xia State caravan at the other table saw that the momentum was not good, but they did not rush to flee.

"This... Shall we make a move? ", one of the guards asked.

"Shoot! These people are dressed in extraordinary clothes, so maybe it will be more convenient for us to find out the news. ”。

After that, this group of Xia people also drew their swords and killed the group of people in the tribe.

I have to say that the force of this group of tribesmen is really good.

When Xia Guoren joined and there was an obvious gap in the strength of the two sides, they still held on for nearly a stick of incense before stopping.

"These people are premeditated!" , Zhou Shiren, who was dressed as a Xia countryman, said to Yelu Chongde.

"Maybe you have seen through my official identity, right?" , Yelu Chongde said coldly, and then continued: "Thank you brother Tai for saving a certain niece, otherwise they would have been taken captive, and the consequences would be unimaginable." ”。

Zhou Shiren is not blind, so he can't see that the group of people is going to investigate the life, not to take it away. Therefore, I do not believe in the words of Jerod Chongde. But he didn't break it down, so he followed with a few polite words.

Then Yelu Chongde personally paid for their meals, which was regarded as a sign of gratitude. Of course, there was also one thing left behind. When you are in trouble, you can find Yelu Chongde to help.

Considering safety, Jerod Chongde did not go with them, so he left it alone.
