In winter, the snow is long coming. In previous years, the snow in Luoyang was knee-high, but now, it is only a thin layer, only past the ankle.

When the old farmers saw this situation, they all sighed. As the old saying goes, the snow is a good year, and now, this layer of tulle-like snow seems to be fluttering to tell people that next year should be an unsatisfactory year.

"Old man, what kind of rhetoric is this?" The snow is thin, which indicates that next year will not be good?

The old peasant came back to his senses from his grief, and in his old eyes he saw a fairy-like figure, with silver hair and a silver robe draped in a black fox fur, this is the son of a rich and noble family. The old farmer judged in his heart, and he was willing to speak for these young people who had no grain to distinguish.

"We often say that the snow is a good year, but if the snow falls a lot and it falls well and in time, it means that the wind and rain will be smooth next year. If there is less snow, it means that there will be less rain next year. ”

"Will there be less rain next year? Is the drought going to get worse? Doesn't it mean that this drought will bring more people to life? ”

The old farmer sighed deeply, "Not really. At that time, the drought will be severe, and those who farm the land will inevitably be eaten again. Speaking of this, the sorrow in the old peasant's eyes became even stronger, and through the gray sky in front of him, he seemed to be able to see the great famine fifty years ago, and the lives were devastated.

Seeing the old man's tears streaming down his face, the silver-haired boy said again, "The old man, a certain talent, I don't know much about this." I see that you still know a lot, why don't you talk to me more? ”

The old farmer glanced at the son in front of him again and said, "This year's drought is just the beginning. Next year and the year after, it will be so dry. ”

"Shhhh After a while, Childe said to himself, "No, it should be said that the year after the big year is still difficult, because after the great drought, everything has to start anew." Or in some places there is no food to grow. ”

"Young people's brains are fast." The old man sighed, "I heard that our Majesty is a wise and benevolent monarch, and I really hope that Your Majesty will be ready." Stop thinking about fighting with Emperor Fanbang. ”

Now, His Majesty, who often goes to fight with the prince of Fanbang in person, stood in front of the old man, immediately smiled embarrassedly, and said, "What the old man said is true." The most important thing now is to get the food ready. "Not only for the people, but also for the army.

"I heard that Your Majesty, he got a very large amount of grain from Fanbang? What is a bean called? ”

"Mud Beans."

"Well, that's it, it's called mud beans! It's also strange, why is it called mud beans? ”

"Maybe it's because the grain grows in the dirt?" Sun Nian continued to explain embarrassedly.

The old farmer suddenly realized and was dissatisfied: "Since it grows in the soil, why don't you call it a potato?" Instead, it's called mud beans? Old thing, I think potatoes sound much better? ”

"Huh? Well, right. Sun Nian smiled bitterly, "The old man does have a wide range of knowledge, and he hits the nail on the head when he names food." ”

The old peasant waved his hand proudly, "That's because Your Majesty is a dancer who plays with a knife and a pen, and he has a different view from me who plays with a hoe." ”

After saying goodbye to the old farmer, Sun Nian led Jiang Wei to the village in an unhappy mood.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing in the village?"

"I want to see the people eat." See if any officials have deceived him.

Jiang Wei heard that it was for this reason, so he stopped asking out loud, and still remembered Sun Nian's reminder that Jiang Wei didn't say much when he was out of the house. Because Jiang Wei talks a lot, he will reveal his stuffing.

When you enter the village, what is it like?

The snow is stained with yellow mud, and the dry grass is neutral. Firewood is facing the wind and snow, and it is rare to see cooking smoke.

The village is dusty, with mud houses and thatched roofs, and there are very few brick houses. The staggered rooms are placed on the side of the road, and the reflection on this snow-white earth is more and more pitiful. So why is there so little cooking smoke in the village? That's because the peasants want to save some charcoal.

Although the snow is not heavy, there is still snow on the roof. For the safety of the house, every family took advantage of the sunny weather to clear the snow on the roof.

Sun Nian looked at the people on the roof, and felt frightened when he looked at it. As soon as it falls, it's terrible.

Sun Nian is a crow's mouth. He thought so, and the man on the thatched roof stumbled and fell to the ground, and the other tumbled and fell to the snow in the courtyard. It was so coincidental that the yard had just been cleaned, and when people fell, they fell firmly onto the hard soil. I only heard a click, and I didn't know where my hand and foot were broken.

The surrounding people gathered around to help.

His eyelids jumped, Sun Nian walked a few steps forward and Jiang Wei followed.

"Don't mess with him!" When Sun Nian saw that the man's family wanted to move him, he immediately spoke up.

Sun Nian ignored them, and only said to Jiang Wei: "Come, Boyo, give me your knife, you carry him into the house." ”

"Respectfully...... Yes, Childe. Before he could say anything, he changed his mouth dangerously, called out to his son, and then picked up the man and went into the house.

Seeing Jiang Wei, who was dressed in a cyan robe and a black cloak, carried someone in, the people in the courtyard came back to their senses, looked at Sun Nian, who was in a silver robe and a black fox Qiu, and didn't dare to speak for a while.

Sun Nian didn't annoy that their eyes were too rude, but said lightly, "You guys should find a doctor in Luoyang City." With that, he took out a handful of money and gave it to one of the old men.

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "Childe, the old man doesn't dare to take your money." It's none of your business, it's my son who is useless. "You can fall off any snow sweeper. Saying this, he scolded the young man on the side, "Ah Si, go to the village and invite that old doctor!" ”

"Okay, Daddy."

Sun Nian squinted his eyes as the young man walked away and said no more. Just as Jiang Wei came out, he asked, "Boyo, how is he?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, the man's leg was broken. This winter, I can only nest in the house to recuperate. Otherwise, it will ......" - fall into a leg disease'. However, these last few words were interrupted by Sun Nian's rough cough, "It's good to be able to recuperate." By the way, he also glared at Jiang Wei, who was speaking straightforwardly.

While waiting for the old doctor, Sun Nian asked a few words about the old man's harvest this autumn.

Speaking of this, the old man was very happy, "Although the total harvest is three or four percent less than in previous years, but the emperor is hockey, the grain tax is exempted, and we can also eat porridge and water this year!" ”

"Porridge water?" Sun Nian frowned, "In previous years, wasn't even enough porridge and water?" ”

"Not really!" The old man's family sighed, "Son, you are a rich and noble man, how do you know the hardships of our peasant family!" In a good year, in addition to the grain for taxation, the rest must be eaten tightly, drink more porridge and water, and eat more wild vegetables, which can also last until next summer or autumn harvest. If not, you can only eat wild vegetables, and in disaster years, it is good to eat the roots of grass and trees. ”

"That's right." The rest of the people responded one after another, telling them all about their own situation.

Sun Nian listened, letting him roughly know the situation in the village, and his mood became heavier. When the old doctor came to see the doctor and knew that the man would be recuperating until the end of next spring, the faces of the people in that family were a little desperate. It's good at the end of spring, and there is one less laborer at the beginning of spring at home, but how can I catch up with spring planting!

Sun Nian was moved by compassion, and just left the two pieces of money, "Buy him some bone soup to drink, the family has a hot soup to drink, he also has to eat, and it can get better quickly." ”

The old farmer excused himself, was overwhelmed by poverty, took the money, and cried and thanked: "Thank you, son!"

Sun Nian left ashamedly and left the village, wanting to go to other villages to see. However, when I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met two pretty girls standing there against the cold wind, not knowing who was waiting.

Sun Nian and Jiang Wei were both cold-hearted people, but they just glanced at the two pretty girls with rouge and crossed them without squinting.

"Two sons!" Two girls were born at the same time and stopped them. One of them stepped forward very boldly, blocked in front of Sun Nian, and said shyly: "Childe, I am Chunlin, I want to follow Childe and make cattle and horses for Childe!" ”

The other girl didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she hurriedly walked up and did stand beside Jiang Wei, looking at Jiang Wei with affectionate eyes.

Sun Nian and Jiang Wei blackened their faces at the same time. The two glanced at each other quickly, snorted coldly, and were about to leave. Unexpectedly, the two girls were really bold, and they opened their hands to hug them!

Scared them away! had to use their own kung fu to deftly dodge, so that they pounced in the air, and one accidentally fell into the snow!

Sun Nian and Jiang Wei didn't want to say a word, and when they saw them falling, they didn't say that they felt sorry for the jade, but just frowned and glanced at them, as if they were looking at something dirty, and hurriedly opened their eyes.

The two girls got up with sad faces and cried: "Son, you are so ruthless! After saying that, he wanted to pounce, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, a group of cavalry appeared, all wearing white armor.

The two girls of the white cavalry still know each other. They were a little scared, but they didn't want to leave, because they didn't feel any different from the two men in front of them.

But the truth was always beyond their expectations, and those white-armored cavalrymen stopped in front of the two sons and looked at them respectfully.

This makes it all the more sure that they have a great background.

At this time, a girl suddenly remembered that their majesty was a beautiful man with silver hair and silver robes, or the big leader of the white-armored cavalry!

Thinking of this, her eyes brightened even more. She knew that the silver-robed black fox Qiu Gongzi in front of her was the king of their Great Qi! It's not in vain that she stood here and waited for him for a long time! It seems that she is really going to be a concubine!

"Childe, why did you cruelly abandon me!"

Sun Nian was impatient, "You and I don't know each other, so why abandon it?" ”

Jiang Wei was more direct on the other side, pulled a soldier down, he rode up, flicked the whip, and the horse galloped a few feet away! The soldier looked at the girl with glowing eyes, screamed in fright, and chased Jiang Wei as if he was being chased by a dog! He also shouted: "The general will return my horse!" Wait for me, General! ”

All the white-armored soldiers looked sideways - what a pig-like brother!

Sun Nian's face darkened, and he warned the two girls with a cold face, "I hate restless people the most in my life." If you dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, I will not make it easy for you. With that, Sun Nian sat on a horse and disappeared into the vast snow with the white-armored cavalry.

After a long time, the girl who pestered Sun Nian said quietly: "The one you fancy is a general." A general always falls behind the person I fancie, which means that he is really our Daqi's heaven. ”

Sun Nian thought that his warning would thoroughly understand the matter, but he didn't know that it had just begun.
