Five days later, the Heavenly Machine Secret Realm disintegrated and disappeared, and Qingbao Valley returned to its original state.

The grass and trees between the valleys are withered, the leaves are yellow and the autumn is cold, and a large number of confused scholars suddenly appear in the primitive and quiet scenery, which seems a little abrupt.

I can't feel the passage of time, I don't have to eat or drink, and the few days that pass quietly make everyone feel like a world away.

But most people came back to their senses, their faces were full of joy, and the harvest of the past few days was beyond the reach of the outside world.

Anyone who enters the secret realm has at least improved his literary thinking, and now he can export all of them into poems, but he only needs to study hard for a period of time, and his studies must progress by leaps and bounds.

This is also the reason why young scholars with bad backgrounds are extremely sought after in the Heavenly Machine Secret Realm, as long as you get a fragment of chance, you can increase the probability of passing the imperial examination.

Zhou Bai recalled the experience in the secret realm, his mind was still a little trance, and the memories stuffed into his mind were too huge, even the soul of the Qingming Realm could not be completely digested.

After hundreds of generations and reading all kinds of life, he only felt that his Taoism and studies had made sufficient progress.

At the moment, not to mention the same Jinshi, even Jinshi, he dares to say that his knowledge is not much different.

Just wait for you to go home and digest it, then you will really enter the field of Jinshi.

And he gained a lot of luck in the secret realm, and the spirit of the white deer disappeared with the secret realm, but the green and yellow qi it exchanged for was lush and green, almost like a canopy.

Without waiting for Zhou Bai to carefully observe his majestic luck, a few pure white snowflakes quietly fell on his forehead, bringing a hint of coolness.

"It's snowing, is this snow or disaster snow?"

"It's just October, and it's snowing in the hinterland of Dingzhou, which is not a good sign."

"Yes, I don't know what happened to the whole northern border, the snow in the north of our Dingzhou must be heavier than here."

At this time, people had just walked out of the valley, and the scene outside made everyone cry out in amazement.

Zhou Bai looked up at the sky, only to find that the original celestial phenomenon here was a continuous dark cloud, a posture of rain and snow pouring.

"Grassland, alas, cattle and sheep are now the right time to raise fat, and how can the grassland people survive the cold winter after this snow."

"In an eventful season, I assert that there will be war in the north."

"Cangbei and Bei'an County have to find a way to defend the Jin Kingdom from going south!"

Hearing the high-minded talk of some scholars, Zhou Bai did not refute it, because what he was worried about now was what they said.

It snowed in October, more than a month earlier than before, and it was a disaster for northern countries such as Daxu and Jinguo.

The main opportunity has been taken, and the trip has ended here, and Zhou Bai is now rushing home to preside over the overall situation.

……

All the way back to the north, because it was not downstream, Zhou Bai did not take the waterway again, but followed the official road through Longfeng County and Ruinan County.

Even though the mountains and rivers are far away and thousands of miles apart, with the strong support of the post stations along the way, Zhou Bai still rushed back to Bei'an before October 10.

At this point, as he expected, the land was covered in snow, and the continuous snow never stopped.

It can only be said that fortunately, the autumn harvest will be over in September, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the livelihood of the people south of Cangshan without mentioning the grassland.

After passing through Bei'an County, even if Zhou Bai didn't want to delay the time, in such a short time as he changed the horses, the county government had already learned the news and sent the county priest to invite him personally. ….

"Duke Xie Yuan, we Bei'an don't know how many years we haven't released Xie Yuan, you are a role model for Bei'an Shizi, Lord Taishou must let me invite you for a while." The priest smiled, and the invitation inside and outside the words could not be refused by Zhou Bai.

After all, he is not a jinshi yet, and if he wants to mix here, everyone must save face for each other.

This entry into the city is naturally not a banquet, except for the county guard and other chief officials, he has to meet all the officials of Bei'an County.

After drinking wine for two whole days, Zhou Bai finally put an end to the entertainment, but he was not entertaining in vain, and he got a lot of benefits.

First of all, the county government rewarded him with 1,000 taels of silver for being admitted to the first place in the Dingzhou Township Examination, and then there was a 500 mu land deed, which could be exchanged anywhere in Bei'an County

In the end, all kinds of other rewards have already been sent to Zhou Bai's mansion.

Not only that, when Zhou Bai left the county town and returned home, the county government actually arranged a team of county cavalry to escort him.

Although it is not the elite of the Silver Jiao Cavalry, it is also a standard cavalry, and the bow and horse are skillful, obviously not a new Ding who has not seen blood.

On the official road outside the city, the captain of the county soldiers saw that Zhou Bai was a little puzzled, so he hugged his fists and said: "Recently, there have been frequent changes in the Jin Kingdom, and there are often grassland horse thieves who break into Cangbei County to cause chaos, and our territory in Bei'an County is also a little unstable, and there are often small nights on the official road, for your safety, so."

"I see, then I'll trouble you, brothers."

When Zhou Bai rushed back to Pingcang County with this team of county soldiers for several days, there was a commotion, and the county soldiers defending the city thought that the golden soldiers were stealing the city, and they were almost so frightened that they pulled up the drawbridge and closed the city gate.

Fortunately, Zhou Bai's public uniform is more conspicuous, which avoids a farce.

From here, it can actually be seen how much pressure a heavy snow that does not follow common sense will bring to the creatures in the north and south of Cangshan.

Even if Zhou Bai didn't go to the grassland now, he could imagine what it meant to be hungry and hungry.

In the interior, snow is snow, but in the northern grassland, too heavy snow is also called white hair.

The white-haired wind disoriented the nomadic herders and flocks, and traffic was severely blocked.

At the same time, due to the cold weather and the lack of grain and grass, not only the livestock had to freeze to death, but even the grassland people who watched the sky and ate were difficult to survive.

Although the October snow is not as absurd and exaggerated as the June snow, it just pushes the Jin country to a dead end.

Zhou Bai still remembered that Hu Yanhe said that King Jin was seriously ill, and now his brother must transfer internal contradictions in order to control the power of Jin.

Where to move, it can only be Daxubian County.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai prepared to enter the city to visit the county magistrate Ji Hongzhe and discuss the coping strategy with him.

However, Ji Hongzhe brought him even worse news.

County office.

Zhou Bai asked incredulously, "You want to move away from Pingcang?" What about your new deal?"

"Well, I have been promoted, from the sixth grade, the official document of the official department will arrive within three months, and it will be transferred to Pinghe County."

"Congratulations on being the first in the Zhongxiang exam, the new deal may only rely on you to continue to complete the Yuan Gong, fortunately, there is not much left of the Cangshan bandits, and the rest is to open up the wasteland and develop." Ji Hongzhe couldn't say whether he was happy or frustrated, patted Zhou Bai's shoulder and sighed.

Zhou Bai reluctantly accepted the reality, and smiled: "Before leaving, you have to take Pingcang to get through this winter, and if you don't want to be ruined, promise me one condition."

"Say, it just so happens that your Xie Yuan reward, the county doesn't know how to give it."

"Those ownerless mountain fields in Cangshan, can you sell tens of thousands of acres more to me, and the mountain fields can be exchanged for ordinary acres, do you see this ratio?"
