Chapter 292: Qingyang Lake
"If you don't farm, what do you usually eat?" The woman asked in surprise, looking behind the other party, there were dozens of mouths waiting to be fed!
"It's not like it can't be planted at all!"
The old man was in good spirits and said: "Let's go here, when the year is good, we can't start farming until late May, which is two or three months later than in the south, and when we encounter a bad year, like last winter, it is very cold, and the thaw is very slow, this year we can't plant the land, and our winter comes faster than others, and the crops planted can only be harvested for one season, if the winter comes a little earlier, the harvest of the year is gone, and we can only hunt desperately to replenish!" ”
"There is only one harvest a year, there is no surplus grain, and it is not possible to plant it every year, so how did you survive?" The woman asked again.
"We survived because we don't have food or prey here, but fish!" A stout guy stood up and said.
"Fish?"
The woman looked around at the still white snowfield and made sure she had heard correctly. Her consciousness and perception are several times stronger than ordinary people, but she doesn't see where the so-called fish are, not even water.
"It's a fish!"
The old man confirmed the young man's words: "Girl, you continue to go north from here, and walk another one or two hundred miles, there will be a huge subglacial lake, called Qingyang Lake, how wide it is, no one knows, only that its ice surface does not melt all year round, as long as the ice surface is chiseled, you can catch a lot of fat big fish, you can take it to other places to exchange for rice and flour grain and cloth, and you can even enter the palace, it is very fat, it should be connected to the distant ocean, when we usually have not enough food to eat, we will go there to catch some fish to replenish!" ”
"Oh? Is that so? Can you show me there? I give money! The woman said.
"No money!"
The old man waved his hand: "We juniors are also preparing to go to work in the fishing port, girl, you can come along, anyway, it's all on the way!" ”
"So even better!" The woman smiled slightly.
As he spoke, the sturdy young man rushed to a cart, and his companions had several more behind him, and all the young men from the younger generation sat on it, but he was the only one.
The strong young man looked at the woman, his face showed hesitation, they are usually just trucks for transporting goods, very dirty, they are all rough people, it's okay to sit on it, but this clean big girl seems a little out of tune, he is not sure if the other party will sit on it.
Who knew that when he was still hesitating, the other party had already sat sideways, not affected by the strong fishy smell on the car, but a woman from a rich and noble family seemed very casual, not putting on a show at all, and won the favor of many villagers, mainly because they had never seen such a beautiful person.
Many strong young men looked at it, and the young man who was driving the car felt that his heart was beating faster, although he knew that it was delusional, but he could not resist the young man's admiration.
"Girl, looking at your dress, you must be a woman from a rich family, you can't be from the royal city, right?" The old man also sat up, chatting as he walked.
"Indeed, I am from the royal city!" The woman said, she didn't lie, she was there two or three days ago.
"Have you seen our majesty?" The old man asked.
"Oh? Are you talking about the seven or eight-year-old little monarch? The woman searched the memories in her mind, and remembered that the monarch of Fenglan Kingdom seemed to be a child.
"That's him!"
The old man sighed, with a look of admiration on his face, and said: "Although our majesty is young, he is born with a benevolent heart and loves the people, you have also seen that the living conditions on our side are very difficult, but since he ascended the throne, he has done a lot of good things for the people, and our life is much better!" I wish we could meet him in person one day! ”
"Oh, what's his good method, tell me about it?" The woman came interested.
"Let's just say that it was last year, winter came very early, left very late, most of us felt that we were going to starve to death, it was Your Majesty who exempted us from taxes and sent a large amount of food, so we all survived, thanks to Your Majesty's kindness!" The old man said.
"Oh? It seems that he is a rare good monarch! The woman also said.
"Not only these, if only this, our life is only slightly better, can not change anything, he not only sent food, but also set up a fish port in Qingyang Lake, the fish we hit unified purchase to sell, in the past, we caught their own fish, only enough to eat, want to sell, but the distance is far away, back and forth is not enough to entangle, but people live, can not only rely on eating fish, there are many households need subsidies, now it's good, we only need to be responsible for fishing, the rest don't have to worry, The money earned can also be exchanged for grain, rice, oil, salt and various household items in the fish port, and even if winter comes, you will not starve to death! ”
"That's a good thing, but not without him! Can you fish to support yourselves? The woman asked.
"It's different!"
The guy who was driving the car in front suddenly came back and said: "Girl, you don't know, in addition to the abundance of all kinds of fat big fish in Qingyang Lake, there are many fierce water beasts, which are all to eat people, and some can even rush onto the ice and drag people down, in the past, we were forced to fish helplessly, so we took the risk to feed a family, but many people can't come back because of this, and the yield is also small, I have two brothers above, but they all died in the water!" ”
"Since our majesty sent people, we have organized strong men to kill and drive away those water beasts, and many people have died in the middle, but now fishing is much safer, and the yield has greatly increased, otherwise we would not have so many people go to work in the fishing port, there is hope for life, and people are alive!"
The strong guy shook the whip in his hand, and said happily, causing his companions to laugh, and the woman also laughed, she felt that the life of these people was also very interesting, and she could feel their happy mood and hope for life!
"Girl, you are from the royal city, apart from our majesty, have you seen our national teacher? What does he look like? The guy in the car next door asked.
"Yes, in addition to our little majesty, the most powerful person in our Fenglan country is him, they all say that he is not very old, but he is born with divine power, brave and unparalleled, but he is a god descending to earth, and the reincarnation of the demon spirit, it is he who assisted our majesty to ascend the throne, but I don't know what a real person looks like, should he be three heads and six arms, and nine feet tall?"
……!
Speaking of the national teacher, those guys were even more excited, and they all gossiped and participated.
"He'......!"
The woman couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, and only a young and handsome face appeared in her mind, such a character could be boasted of being a god among the people?
She kind of understood why even Tuoba Hankong was planted in a few rumors.
