Liu Qinghai came to Chang'an from a remote village not long ago, and he had never heard of lychees.

Hearing this, Liu Qinghai was still searching for what Lingnan and lychees were far away that day, and he didn't have time to make a sound, but he heard a low cry behind him-

"What, Lingnan's lychee?"

Seeing that his cousin and brother only walked on their own, regardless of themselves walking behind, Liu Qingshan didn't care about the score that he often put as a teacher recently, so he closed the door of his house casually, and quickly caught up, but only when he walked to the lotus pond in the front yard, he heard this sentence Lingnan lychee, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then held a folding fan in his hand, shaking his head while shaking the fan and sighed: "There is a great drought in Guanzhong, there has been no rain since spring and March to July, crops have died in a large area, and the well water will be exhausted. I don't know how many horses will be killed, and how many ice cubes will be needed to cool off the heat, it's really corrupt! ”

It turned out to be a great drought in Guanzhong.

The impression seems to be like this, she left Chang'an in early March and returned to Beijing at the end of April, but now it has been three months since she returned to Chang'an, but there has not been a day of rain.

The words of three sighs came from behind him, and Liu Chenxing's footsteps stopped.

At this moment of stopping, the fact that it has not rained in Guanzhong from spring to summer was quickly confirmed in my mind.

"Brother, how is the situation in Guanzhong now?" Liu Chenxing stopped and turned around, the brothers and sisters had nothing to say, and they had planned to talk to Liu Qingshan about this matter as soon as they came back, but Liu Qingshan took the initiative to mention it, so he simply asked directly.

Hearing that Liu Chenxing finally talked to him about the drought in Guanzhong, Liu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, continued to fan his folding fan, and said with a handsome boy's cynicism: "In addition to eating and sleeping recently, you are practicing calligraphy and writing books silently, and you don't even have time to talk to us. ”

In the end, it was her brother and sister who grew up together, and she just opened her mouth to ask, and she exposed herself.

Liu Chenxing listened to her brother's ridiculous words, her slightly furrowed brows relaxed, it seems that she has really ignored too many people and things recently, and her brother is protesting to her.

However, how long has Brother Liu Qingshan been a gentleman, why did he become such a pretentious appearance, other people are okay with such a posture, but her brother is really not suitable.

Liu Qingshan is tall and big, of course, it's nothing to be tall, Shen Zhongyi is also tall, but looking at the whole person, he is long and thin, and he can pretend to be a Sven son, but Liu Qingshan is visible to the naked eye, his skin is darker than Tian Sheweng, and he still has a simple appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

It's just that now is not the time for the two of them to complain to each other, she is still worried about things in her heart, and she doesn't pay attention to Liu Qingshan's jokes, and preaches back to the point: "Brother, today the King of Wei and the Wei Sheren of the Judge History Museum, as well as several officials, have come to the History Museum to check the Zhengcang information of Taicang and Gyeonggi Province. ”

Liu Qingshan's expression of playing treasure was closed, and he "snapped" and put the folding fan sent by the Dragon Boat Festival of the Wei Wangfu in his hand, and said, "No wonder you discovered the drought a few days earlier than I expected." ”

In this sentence, Liu Qingshan said again: "Chang'an is okay, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is still singing and dancing, and there is still wine and meat in Zhumen, just like the officials of your History Museum, you can still have Lingnan's lychees to eat." At this point, the resentment is palpable.

Liu Chenxing listened slightly silently.

Don't blame her brother for being an angry young man.

As the saying goes: a line of floods, a large area of drought.

Compared with other natural disasters, drought has the most direct and serious impact on agricultural production, and it can be said to be the first meteorological disaster affecting agricultural production.

According to her recent historical records, all droughts are well documented, mainly because of their serious impact on agricultural harvests.

In particular, severe droughts and extremely severe droughts often lead to thousands of miles of red land, rivers drying up, and crop yields are reduced at least or at worst, followed by widespread famine.

Their brothers and sisters are poor and hungry, to say a little ugly, in the past, their ancestors were all shaved in the ground, how hard-won every grain is, there is no better than them, that hungry stomach in the middle of the night only the taste of pouring cold water in this life can not forget, thinking of a large area of land drying up, I don't know how many families are counting on this bit of production in the field at the end of a year's hard work, completely hopeless, should usher in the summer harvest, autumn harvest in the blink of an eye is nothing, really uncomfortable.

She hadn't seen it yet, and she hadn't felt the drought herself, but she felt sorry for the food and the land, and it was uncomfortable just to hear it.

Maybe it's the influence of the environment of their origins, or maybe it's because since ancient times, our literati have always pursued the principle of "helping the world if you are good, and being good for the poor", they have the world in their hearts and worry about the country and the people.

Liu Qingshan sneered, and knew that such emotions should not come to Liu Chenxing, he took a deep breath and said, "Ah Xing, I'm not targeting you. ”

Liu Chenxing nodded and said, "Brother, I know." ”

Liu Qingshan looked at the lotus pond in front of him with his hands and said: "The situation in Chang'an is okay, but the situation around Gyeonggi is not good. You also know that at the end of the year, the peasants pay taxes, and the remaining rations are only enough to survive the winter, and in the spring of the next year, they are often green and yellow, and the situation is ...... now."

The farmer knows the farm life best, and before he finished speaking, Liu Qingshan couldn't go on.

Liu Qinghai is already fourteen years old, and he is also half an adult, so he should be sensible.

Besides, he is also a reader, and he still has a certain amount of knowledge.

He led the horse, heard the conversation between his brother and sister, hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is Taicang in Chang'an, I heard that a large amount of grain is transported from the Jianghuai region every year, and there is a great drought in the land of Gyeonggi, so the imperial court should not let the people around Gyeonggi live a bad life." ”

Hearing this, he looked at his little cousin, the fourteen-year-old boy Lang was full of vitality and had a beautiful vision for the future, Liu Chenxing wanted to give his cousin a positive answer, but when he thought of Shen Zhongyi's menacing investigation today, he frowned.

Liu Chenxing didn't want to worry too much, he was silent for a while, and said to his cousin Liu Qinghai: "Your brother has said that Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the cities around Gyeonggi are the protective ground of the imperial city, and the imperial court will not sit idly by." ”

Yes.

No matter what, the imperial court will not care.

Even if you pull out some tumors in the court, you will always give an explanation to the world.

Suppressing the good thoughts in his heart, Liu Chenxing smiled: "Okay, how long do we have to stand here, go back!" ”
