The howling north wind mixed with fine ice chips poured down, and this year's northern wind and snow came exceptionally early, only the first heavy snow fell in Guanzhong in early October, and this year is colder than usual. ↖

Wu Yingqi walked at the front of the horse team, anxiously urging: "Don't drag your feet, try to go as fast as possible!" Hurry back to Chang'an City before the heavy snow comes, if I'm not mistaken, this year is a cold winter! ”

"Winter!"

The people in the team all smelled and changed.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was a short cold period, only 30 years before and after, to the death of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty since the warmer and warmer, the time of snow melting in spring every year should be earlier, the climate has been warm and humid for decades, the strong convective weather of strong winds and rains is frequent, it is rare to hear of drought and locust plague rumors in a certain place, and the days are better than before.

Good climate does not mean that every year is a good season, for example, in the spring and summer of the second year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, frequent earthquakes, locust plagues and plagues in local areas appeared, which proved that the year was not good, and local droughts affected the harvest of the year.

In recent years, there has been more and more rain and snow in winter, and there will be more snow in Chang'an City every winter, and a large amount of snow will lead to floods in the spring season.

Wu Yingqi is very worried, this year's cold winter is by no means as simple as ordinary winter, he has lived on the Qingtang Plateau for two whole years, and has experienced the extreme cold of the plateau, when there is a heavy snowstorm on the plateau, even the strong yaks can not do anything, and the fierce Qiang people can only huddle in several thick felt tents to warm up.

With the start of October, the New Year's Day dropped to below zero, and there is no doubt that this year's winter will be exceptionally long and cold. Heavy snow will directly affect traffic in Chang'an, and more elderly people will die in the cold. The military training of the county soldiers in the winter will be affected, and none of the above is the main trouble. The worst was the Xiongnu Empire, a strong neighbor to the north.

What Wu Ying Qi was worried about was also what the three princes and nine ministers of the imperial court were worried about.

Weiyang Palace Greenhouse Hall.

Tian Wei lifted the heavy flannel curtain, and the cold wind mixed with snow flakes drilled into the hall, and the snow flakes melted into cold water on his face, splashing his carefully trimmed beard, and the cool breeze went down the collar and cuffs into his body, and he shivered: "This ghost weather is really cold." ”

"Lieutenant quickly put the curtain down, it's too cold outside."

"Okay."

Hearing the voice behind him, Tian Wei immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "The prime minister has worked hard. On a cold day, you have to work for state affairs. ”

Dou Ying glanced at it and said indifferently: "Everyone is as busy as they don't have to take credit, and there is nothing to say about working for state affairs, I just hope that this storm and snow will pass, and this year's winter will not be too cold." ”

"What the prime minister said is very true, and it is good for everyone not to be cold this year."

The three princes and nine kings went around the conversation, tacitly avoiding those troubles that made people headaches, when today's son is a promising emperor, he has been on the throne for four years and has made outstanding contributions to the territory. Under the thriving momentum of the Han Empire, coupled with the ambitious young emperor, the hectares can't pour cold water on them.

A trend of main battle was formed among the Chinese military officers of the DPRK, and the Han army was invincible in the world. The Xiongnu they described were like an old lion who was strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and the Han army in its prime encountered the Huns like chopping melons and vegetables without much effort.

This force is the young people of Taizhong Doctor Han Yan and Gongsun He, and their other identity is an old man from the prince's entourage. Many old bureaucrats angrily rebuked the nonsense, but many more regarded it as the dictate of the Son of Heaven. The intention was obviously to prepare public opinion for the fight against the Huns.

Dou Ying swept over the bureaucrats standing on duty: "General Che Cai didn't come today?" ”

"I didn't come, I came to Weiyang Palace to meet the Son of Heaven a few days ago. It is said that it is to discuss the migration of Jiangxia County. ”

"I have been to Shaxian County before, the plain in the middle of the Yangtze River, the only place that leads to Yunmengze, and the general of the Che Cavalry took great pains to choose this place."

Tian Wei said jealously: "I heard that General Che Cai funded the construction of Shaxian, maybe he has the intention of hitchhiking. ”

Several high-ranking officials exchanged glances with each other, and dealt with the past quietly, Jiuqingli Lieutenant Fan Itguang, Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai, and Taifu Wang Bifang quietly missed the sight, Taichang Zhao Zhou lowered his head as if he didn't hear, and the three of them pursed their lips with disdain and secretly scolded him for being a coward, never daring to have too close a relationship with them, naively thinking that he could get past by maintaining a relationship with the meritorious liege, but he didn't know that the prime minister and the taiwei had to stare at him first, because it was a lone liege.

The persimmon picked a soft pinch, and Tian Wei quickly turned to him and said, "Is there any news too often?" You are also a liege, so you must know the reason. ”

"I don't know, I'm not very familiar with Pingyang Hou."

"Are the princes still unfamiliar? Impossible! Although I'm just a relative, I occasionally meet and greet Pingyang Hou, are you not familiar with Pingyang Hou? ”

"I really don't know each other very well, I don't usually like to associate with the liehous." Zhao Zhou fidgeted awkwardly, he suddenly felt that he had been pitted.

Just now, seeing the indifferent gaze of Fan Itguang and Zhuang Qingzhai, the princes are the most taboo about internal disunity, Zhao Zhou is just an inconspicuous marquis of Nanling, his status and voice in the marquis are below average, according to reason, he should obey the command of several powerful marquis, but his status is not won by the marquis, without the appreciation of the Son of Heaven, he would not be where he is today, and it is impossible for him to run to a few marquis to ask for forgiveness.

"I really don't know each other, so it's too often for me to be wrong." Tian Weilu smiled proudly.

He also caught a glimpse of a few princes with unkind faces, if it weren't for the efforts of the imperial historian Zhang Ou, several princes might have to make a move on Zhao Zhou, the Marquis of Nanling, so that he could remember the iron law of the Han family of respect and humility of the elderly.

Dou Ying looked at him coldly, and quietly moved his neck to cover the ridicule on his face, Tian Wei is a villain who forgets his righteousness, he has always looked down on Tian Wei and others, I still remember when Tian Wei was a doctor in Taizhong, he once flattered him as close as his own father, but now he only maintains basic respect, and since ancient times, the generations of the former and the latter are villains.

In fact, he is quite tired, and the newly formed Three Princes and Nine Princes are divided because of internal imbalance, and there are only a few people who obey the Prime Minister's greetings. Most of the princes had their own opinions, and the relatives of the two families of Wang Tian formed their own camp. The remaining Lang Zhong ordered Shi Jian, Taichang Zhao and Zhou to belong to the emperor's loyal ministers, and they have always remained neutral and not offended.

Imperial Doctor Zhang Ou sighed: "I hope the heavy snow will stop soon." It doesn't work well for us to continue to snow. ”

The sudden heavy snow did not affect the mood of the residents of Chang'an, who got up early and went out to clear the snow and clear the roads.

Drama Xin returned to school to participate in the cleaning, and he spent all this month's vacation with his fiancée Xia Yu, all relying on Cao Shi's guidance to point him a clear path to Xia Yu.

He still remembers that afternoon, he held a bouquet of fiery red flowers and sent it to Xia Yu and said that he wanted to marry her, and the strong girl who didn't let the bearded eyebrows cry with joy, hugging the shoulders of the drama letter and crying like a little flower cat.

Under the control of the Hou Mansion, the wedding date was set within a few days. The two have changed from nameless underground lovers to unmarried couples with a marriage contract, and the drama letter has also been driven back to school, and according to custom, they can't meet the bride again until they get married.

"Yo, this isn't the groom's officer! I woke up early today. ”

"Early!"

"The groom and officials are in good spirits on happy occasions, don't forget to inform your brothers when you get married."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

"When will I get some honey candy for everyone to dip into."

"Don't worry if you have a chance."

The other three neighbors in the same courtyard made fun of a few words, they usually had a good relationship with each other, and they also used a more casual vernacular to speak, since the rise of the vernacular brought about by "The Theory of Money" a few years ago has been liked by many people, especially those who lack the level of classical education like the vernacular that wastes their tongues.

There are a lot of people clearing snow. Younger students are still having snowball fights in the snow, and dozens of people are having fun around a pile of shoveled snowdrifts.

Drama Xin's agility and snowball fight strength are the strongest, and he can always take three roommates to win against strong enemies in a few nearby courtyards, and just as everyone is having fun, there is a horn sound in the distant direction.

The four figures dropped their brooms and ran to the courtyard. Busy cleaning the snow, they forgot to go out in the morning, and there were many students who were panicked, and they all ran out in a panic. Some people ran out without wearing their uniforms.

"Oops, what should I do if I forget to eat in the snow?"

"Get through. It's late for the exercise, we can't eat, and we're walking around. ”

The Taixue system is very strict, and the children who initially thought they were here to enjoy a four-year happy Taixue career were all wrong. Every student who enters Taixue has to receive military literacy training, and there is a lot of training in the formation and division, even the scholars of the liberal arts college have to hold a big pole and spear to learn the military formation, and the Han Empire requires that the military formation must be understood from top to bottom, and there must be combat power.

At the same time, a meeting was held at the banquet, which was attended by hundreds of faculty and staff, and Cao Shi, who was also invited to attend the honorary wine ceremony.

"In October, the new year is goodbye to the old and the new year, and we will also usher in a new school year and new challenges...... After more than half a year of summarization, there are many problems in the current textbooks, and it is a long process to improve the textbooks. ”

Wei Wan arranged various affairs endlessly, and the old man who usually didn't look good was very capable, and it seemed that when this Taixue sacrificial wine was a bit like a fish in water, it reflected that it was a bit difficult for him to be a prime minister.

Cao Shi was silent and did not say a word as an audience, except for Xiao Sheng's hostile gaze from time to time, he remained curled in his seat as an inconspicuous passer-by throughout the whole process, anyway, he was not involved in teaching affairs at all, he was only responsible for arranging the employment of some graduates, and as for other arrangements, he had to let Sangong Jiuqing discuss it.

The meeting dispersed, and the exercise also returned at this time, and the lecturers had to go back to lead the class to give lectures, and Cao Shi was strolling around in the conference room to play.

Wei Juan invited him over to sit down and asked, "General Che Cai, is that thing you said okay?" ”

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with opening in the southwest, you also know how rich Mitsukoshi and Yelang are, Nanxi Yi will be richer next to Magadha, the selection and appointment system of the imperial court will change sooner or later, and the good position will be occupied by the Tai students who graduated first in the future, and the graduates who come out later will also go to the southwest Yi sooner or later to experience, the opening over there needs a lot of knowledge, loyal and patriotic people who are full of learning to educate the people, Taixue will have the first batch of people in two years, except for the experience and apprenticeship, it is a good thing to go to the most remote places to endure hardships and hone their hearts."

"You're not fooling us, are you?"

Cao Shi secretly wiped away the cold sweat: "How come, we are all a family, we always need people to come out to contribute to the Han family, how much strength does the liehou have, and he must not come out of your Taixue." ”

"But Taixue is a well-cultivated good seedling, and it always feels bad to go to Nanxiyi, in case you get a poisonous miasma or don't adapt to the water and soil, it will be a waste of a good seedling."

"Don't say that, it doesn't make much use for you to keep them, it's useless to be a person who talks about soldiers on paper, if you want to be an official, you have to go to the most dangerous place to go through the training, and you can easily sit in Chang'an City and wait for the expedition to cultivate people with lofty ideals, the difference between Marquis Xiao He and Confucian Jia Yi is this."

Wei Juan nodded thoughtfully, Jia Yi is a Confucian who can only say that he can't do it, not only is his eyes above the top but also very good at provoking relationships, he was the one who single-handedly assisted Emperor Wen of Han to expel and suppress the liehous, as long as he was born in the liehous, few people like Jia Yi, so the evaluation of Jia Yi in the early Han Dynasty was polarized, and the Confucian praised it like a flower, so he almost called Jia Zi, but the evaluation of the imperial court was very low, especially after Cao Shi debated with Confucianism, the evaluation continued to decline.

It is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to pass through Wei Xuan, the arrangement of the students is a piece of his heart, the batch of 35,000 students, the second batch is reduced to 15,000, and the third batch will be recruited in the coming year at least 10,000 people, and the fourth year is to go out to exercise and apprenticeship according to the school system, and the imperial court is planning to study and practice in various places according to different majors.

The plan he gave was to go south to experience, regardless of the sea of fire in the southwest or piles of gold and silver, it would be a good way to beat those students over.

Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, recently almost broke his leg in order to go south, and went to Weiyang Palace six times last month, repeatedly lobbying the Son of Heaven to hope that he would agree to the plan, the difficulty of moving Jiangxia County to the county is very low, and the Son of Heaven agreed without thinking much, and it is not so easy to build Shaxian County into Shaxian Yi in the future.

The Son of Heaven is most worried about floods, the low-lying Jianghan Plain is prone to major floods, and it takes great courage to build a city on the edge of the Yangtze River.

Cao Shi didn't have a good way, he couldn't let him build a Yangtze River embankment, Shaofu Han Anguo tossed for two years in order to repair a Weihe embankment, and he tossed his own dead and alive to get seven or eight points, and it would take at least half a year before the completion of the Weihe Dam, you must know that it was nearly two years of busy labor with more than 100,000 people in Guanzhong.

The construction of the Yangtze River embankment is not reliable for 2,000 years, and it is not enough to repair the embankment by relying on the clinker cement produced by Shaofu for a thousand years.

Leaving Taixue, snowflakes floated in the sky again, and the whistling north wind whistled and blew, and the sound was like a beast whimpering in the distance.

Cao Shi lamented: "It's snowflakes again, it's really a bad start, I hope God bless you don't go on so cold, otherwise the border county will have to strengthen its vigilance in the spring of next year." (To be continued!)
