In the next few days, Xie Shence was assassinated twice one after another, but all of them were strangled without exception.

After that, there was no more.

Xie Shence's condition has recurred in the past few days, but it is always developing in a good direction, and everyone has a happy face.

The snow still hasn't stopped. Although there are places to clean the post road along the way, the snow is too thick, and some sections of the road are still not cleared, and it is very difficult to walk.

Tiqi's speed was suffering from Xie Shence's illness and the weather and road conditions, and he had not been fast.

Xie Shence sat in the warm carriage, writing something.

Such a heavy snow was something Xie Shence had never imagined before.

It is said that "in winter, the wheat covers the three-layer quilt, and the next year sleeps with a bun on the pillow", which is true, but the premise of being able to sleep on the pillow is that people have to live.

With such a heavy snowfall, coupled with the fact that the autumn harvest in the north coincided with the rainy season and war, there was basically no harvest, and the life of the peasants was definitely not easy.

"Whew", Xie Shence exhaled, "I hope there will be fewer deaths." ”

I blew the letter, rolled it up when it was dry, put it in a small tube, and sent it out again in the next city.

The heavy rain in autumn has made the two banks of the Hutuo River have been cannibalistic, and now with the heavy snowfall, the birds and beasts are extinct, and there is less to eat.

And at that time, for the rulers of the Jin Kingdom, the concern was no longer how to leave a good name in the history books, but how to quell the rebellion.

People don't have anything to eat, why? Because the rich people have hoarded food.

What if you want to eat and live? Naturally, you can't just eat people, you have to grab food.

If you go to grab it, they will definitely not give it, so what should I do? Kill those who dare to stand in our way, and those who want our lives.

What happens after killing them? If you don't rob, you die, and if you rob, you die, then, rebel.

It's very simple logic.

What kind of prince will Xiangning have?

It's always been cannibalism.

Xie Shence calculated, estimating how many people would die in the north this year.

However, this heavy snowfall will be good news for the war war in the north.

According to Xie Shence's reasoning, since the snow in Hebei Province has already fallen like this, then the Yan country further north will only rain even more.

In that way, the cattle and sheep will freeze to death in batches, the tribe lacking young and middle-aged men will face a desperate situation, the population will be sharply reduced, and then the front-line army of the Yan State will be even more unstable.

After the sharp decline in population, it will bring about the further development of the deformed semi-slave and semi-feudal system of Yan State, and the difference between the development of the north and south of Yan State will be further widened, which will provoke more contradictions and make the regime unstable. At the same time, the development of this deformed system would make the Yan State more economically dependent on commercial trade with the Jin State.

If it works well, from the contradictions within the ruling class to the class contradictions, and then to the contradictions between countries, Xie Shence has every reason to believe that the Yan State is not far from the death of the country.

Look, it's still a simple thing. Just one heavy snowfall can spawn so many things.

Of course, Xie Shence also fully believes that in this world, he may be the only one who will believe that with these alone, Yan Guo can be finished within ten years.

The premise is that the side that destroys the Yan Kingdom must be an excellent team, and the execution, judgment, etc. must reach the level of art.

And these, Xie Shence will not think that the Jin Kingdom has it.

Shaking his head and shaking out these messy thoughts, Xie Shence's thoughts returned to the starting point of the question just now.

The benefits of this heavy snowfall.

Well, the benefits are actually twofold.

On the one hand, the speed of the Yan Kingdom's defeat and retreat will be accelerated, and the cost of the Great Jin Dynasty's recovery of lost territory will be further reduced.

On the other hand, if the war ends early, a large amount of military rations urgently mobilized from the south can be allocated for disaster relief.

Xie Shence believes that the high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom will still know this.

After thinking about it, Xie Shence picked up the pen and wrote another letter.

The letter was addressed to the crown prince, in which he implored the prince to "disobey military orders" and privately transfer a part of the military rations to the relief of the victims.

Picking up the prince to use military rations is a big crime of killing the head, and if you don't do it, you will be punished by the three clans. If the crown prince dares to do this during the ordinary war, the position of the prince will definitely be in jeopardy.

With such a big danger, how could Xie Shence not know?

How could the prince not know?

So, since he knew, would he still listen to Xie Shence's words?

The answer is yes.

Because the specific situation is different.

In this letter, Xie Shence was to the effect that sooner or later the war in the north would end, and heavy snow would speed up the process. Heavy snowfall will also bring millions of victims, and at this time, the surplus military rations will be used - disaster relief. If the crown prince can grasp this opportunity, he will not only gain popular popularity, but also gain the praise of Emperor Jin. Because the crown prince solved a big problem for the Jin Kingdom.

And among them, even if something goes wrong, such as the lack of supply of military rations, etc., it is fine.

Even if Emperor Jin was furious because of this, and the hundred officials were impeached, there was no need to be afraid - the war was to protect the people, and disaster relief was also to protect the people. They are all the people of the Tian family, and of course they are better alive than dead. If everyone is dead, what is the use of winning the war? Moreover, this can also consolidate the rule of the Tian family (these two words are not used in the letter of thanks), and you can also find people who have different intentions for the Tian family - what are your intentions to prevent me from saving my people? It can also further weaken the influence of the clan group on the local area.

Xie Shence wrote several pieces of paper freely. Of course, there are some words, such as weakening the power of the world race, etc., Xie Shence will not say it directly, but only hints slightly. With the prince's scheming, it is impossible not to see the deeper meaning hidden in it.

Then inevitably, if this is done, if it succeeds, the biggest winner is not the prince, but the Xie family.

Because it's still very simple.

The prince did this to meet Sima Bi and fall out - anyway, he was already at odds with each other, so in the Great Jin Dynasty, the prince could only rely more on the Xie family. And out of gratitude, the crown prince will continue to maintain the incense of blessing his descendants with the Xie family, just like Emperor Jin.

Hehe, it's really simple.

It's just that the operation is difficult. However, Xie Shence will not care about the specific operation, it is the wrestling between the prince and the transfer envoy King Qi and Sima Bi of the Northern Army.

Xie Shence sniffed, then tightened his clothes, covered himself with a quilt, and took a lunch break in the carriage

The Chuzhou royal family, thousands of miles away, welcomed a guest at this time.

The little master of the Lu family in the Southern Song Dynasty - Lu Juan.

Lu Juan Dao Chuzhou was to find Wang Lao Shangshu to record a fragment of an ancient book, which recorded some geographical maps of Panyu in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was a very important part of the "Atlas of the World" that Lu Juan was compiling at this time.

The purpose of Lu Juan's coming is very simple.

Of course, if Xie Shence knew that Lu Xiaofuzi had gone to Chuzhou, and after going to the Wang family, he would definitely not think so.

Rubbing takes a long time, and it is not enough to copy just one copy. Lu Juan came here, and brought many craftsmen and scholars, to supplement the incomplete places, and to engrave the stele, after carving the stele in the extension.

It is estimated that it will take nearly a month.

If Xie Shence knew, he would definitely scold: Wouldn't it be okay to copy a copy and go back to engrave the monument yourself? It's just that I eat and drink in other people's homes. If you don't go back for so long, your mother doesn't want you!

But everyone knows that the reason for the atmosphere of thanking God will not be this.

Lu Juan is really a person who is rich in learning and knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he is in charge of this matter, even Wang Laoshangshu is full of praise, and he has repeatedly said in front of the younger generations that "the little master is worthy of his name". Even after Lu Juan went to Langya Mountain and exchanged Buddhism with the old Zen master, he was praised by the old Zen master.

You must know that whether it is an old Shangshu or an old Zen master, they are not very good at praising people.

So of course, the descendants of the Wang family also moved around frequently with Lu Juan under the instructions of Lao Shangshu.

Of course, getting along with each other is definitely not as friendly as it seems.

After all, if your parents said that you should have nothing to do and play more with the first place in your grade, would you be happy? If you are the first in the grade, it is a beauty, but the land roll is a man!

Especially a handsome man.

The younger generation of the Wang family, in terms of appearance alone, there are few people who can take a shot. That's the crux of the matter: they are inferior in knowledge and appearance.

Well, that's limited to boys. Girls, it's another matter, the girls of the Wang family are all beautiful and smart.

Therefore, the boys of the Wang family are not very willing to associate with Lu Juan. And the girls of the Wang family are even more reluctant!

Because, it's so simple.

The Southern Song Dynasty was beaten so miserably by the Huai army, can the men of the Southern Song Dynasty be better than the thin chicken-like Huaiyang Dao men?

What's more, now the wife of the Grand Governor of Huaiyang Dao is coughing about the Lu family, not to mention, everyone knows about the Xie family's affairs about the Lu family.

Therefore, in the initial period of time, the young people of the Wang family only maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding with Lu Juan: You don't look for me, I don't look for you, everyone is busy, everyone is happy.

This kind of perfunctory "correspondence" naturally can't hide from Lao Shangshu's eyes, and after roughly guessing the reason, Lao Shangshu also found his daughter-in-law Xie Yun and asked her to come forward to persuade these children.

This kind of thing, a matter related to the relationship between men and women, even if Xie Yun has a lot of say in the Wang family, there is no way to change it for a while.

Young people, there are conditions for making friends. It's nothing if you accidentally make a bad friend, but you're afraid of losing your worth.

After persuasion to no avail, Xie Yun finally forced Wang Jiehua to set an example and became the ambassador of friendly exchanges between Wang and Lu.

Wang Jiehua was 10,000 unwilling to do this, not to mention that Lu Juan had offended her before, just the way Lu Juan looked at her made her feel uncomfortable, not to mention that Xie Shence also had a direct dislike for Lu Juan.

All this made Wang Jiehua unwilling to say even half a word to Lu Juan.

But all this is a small matter for Xie Yun.

It's not a blind date, Wang Jiehua is engaged to Xie Shence, and he is not afraid of any gossip from the outside world (no one dares to be bold enough to slander Wang Jiehua's innocence, Wang Qingyan's example is there). And it's just for show, to drive the atmosphere, and it won't lose a pound of meat.

So with this tragedy of "generous death", in Wang Qingyan's ridicule, Wang Jiehua was reluctant to meet Lu Juan for the second time.
