As soon as the New Year passes, the first month of the second year quietly arrives.

The weather was still cold to the bone.

If Xi Yu remembers correctly, this period happened to be the extremely serious Xiaoice River period in history.

And throughout the dynasties, whenever you encounter the Xiaoice River.

The impact on the population and the economy is extremely obvious and significant.

These Xiaoice periods basically appeared in the last years of the dynasty.

The first appeared at the turn of Shang and Zhou.

The huge Shang Dynasty was more or less replaced by the Zhou Dynasty because of this.

Of course, among them, the cause of Xiaoice River may not be the most serious, but he is a very important factor.

The second ice age that followed was the era of the late Han Dynasty.

The Xiaoice River brings with it a cascade of weather factors.

This was more or less an indirect factor in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the princes who followed it fought and slaughtered each other.

It was the last straw that crushed the entire Han Dynasty.

And the third time was the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also a time of great chaos and darkness.

And whenever there is a Xiaoice period, the population of this land will begin to decline on a large scale.

The closest Xiaoice period to later generations is the Xiaoice period of the Ming Dynasty, which lasts for time.

Basically the entire Ming Dynasty was spent during the Xiaoice period.

It may not be noticeable at first, but the weather temperature is actually decreasing every year.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, some things, the impact of natural disasters and other factors were more intuitive.

The disasters in various places are accompanied by the persecution of the people to revolt one after another.

In the end, the entire dynasty was dragged down because of the Xiaoice period.

Of course, the factors for the demise of the Ming Dynasty are perhaps more important than those of the officials.

Few people think about the weather factor.

But in the later generations, the drama that has been specially watched and studied is clear.

These four Xiaoice periods, the Ming Dynasty period is actually not the most influential.

If the most serious impact is the Xiaoice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the decades-long division of princes, even with the political situation of the Three Kingdoms, it has been difficult for the population of this period to recover.

At the moment, although Xi Yu got this kind of thing out of Shi Ni in advance.

But this thing only has a slight relief effect after all.

In the playmaker's backyard, Xi Yu had just come out of the house, and Cai Yan behind him took the initiative to put a big coat on Xi Yu.

Cai Yan carefully went back and forth to help Xi Yu sort out the clothes.

Xi Yu's eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Xuchang Bureau.

As soon as the year passed, although the weather was still a little cold, the craftsmen in Xuchang City had begun to continue to build the imperial capital and some fortifications.

Along with it, the originally planned school began to be built.

As a drama who proposed the plan, he naturally paid great attention to the affairs of the school.

"Husband, it's a little cold, be careful!"

Cai Yan tied the thin strap on Xi Yu's body, and his face showed a trace of concern.

Xi Yu chuckled softly.

With his physique, things like cold and heat can only be said to have little impact on him, but he is still extremely useful for his daughter-in-law's concern.

"Yan'er, don't worry, you don't know your husband's body yet!"

couldn't help laughing, Xi Yu didn't care too much, and now the school has begun to be built.

Once a school is built and wants to recruit students, the most important thing is the school's faculty.

And now, which scholars led by Xuchangnei, although there is no way to stop Xi Yu's idea of the school.

But on the part of the teachers, they want to make the school fully operational.

The existence of these scholars still has some influence.

In this era, knowledge is still in the hands of a few people after all, and these so-called few people are naturally these Han Shi clans today.

"Husband, if I can't find a teacher, I can ...... too"

Cai Yan looked up at Xi Yu.

As a bedmate, she naturally knows how much Xi Yu values school.

Now that the recruitment of teachers seems to be a bit of an obstacle, she can't help but want to do something for this drama.

Hearing the person next to him say this, Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Cai Yan.

Reaching out and putting the other party's small hand in the palm of his hand, Xi Yu patted it gently.

"Don't worry, trust me!"

"With your collection of more than 4,000 books, it is already a great help for the husband!"

I have to say that the collection of books left by Cai Yong is extremely attractive after all.

The school wants to be completed, and there is still some time.

He's not in a hurry.

It's a big deal to go to the back, go in and be a teacher by yourself, and even Xun Yu and others, he has a way to pull them in.

Xi Yu sorted out his clothes here and took Dian Wei to the Xu County Office.

Meanwhile.

Outside Xuchang City, an extremely ordinary carriage was slowly passing through the gate of Xuchang.

On the carriage sat a young man leaning on it, the other party was holding a hemp rope in one hand, and a pair of eyes were looking up at the imperial capital in front of him.

"What a nice place!"

The corner of the young man's mouth muttered, and the carriage had already crossed the newly built city wall of Xuchang.

"Fengxiao, thank you for your hard work!"

At this time, a slightly soft voice sounded in the carriage.

Hearing the voice, Guo Jia's body outside the carriage couldn't help but straighten up.

"Aunt is polite, since Yuan Zhi entrusts you to me, I will naturally treat you as a family mother, these things are not hard!"

Responding to Xu Shu's mother in the carriage, Guo Jia didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Yuan Zhi has no news recently, I don't know about him!"

Speaking of Xu Shu, Mother Xu in the carriage couldn't help but feel a little sad.

His son killed someone and ran away, but now there is no news.

If it weren't for Guo Jia's care in the past few years, I'm afraid she would be a woman and it would be difficult for her to survive in this troubled world.

"Aunt, don't worry, that kid is smart, and he must be fine!"

Guo Jia comforted, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull down.

Damn Xu Shu, if you kill someone, you will run, and there has been even less news over the years.

For example, today's pattern has changed, with his understanding of Xu Shu, that guy must have nothing to do.

began to say that he would help the other party take care of his mother for three years.

Now three years have passed, but Xu Shu has not had the slightest news.

Seeing that for three years and three years, Guo Jia is about to become numb.

Originally, he was alone, but he didn't have much pressure, and he was still able to cope with it with his own family background.

However, in recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and grain harvests have begun to fail in various places.

Even with him, it seems that he can't get by.

What's more, I don't know what the situation has been in the past two years, and the weather in this winter is getting colder and colder day by day.

Originally, Guo Jia thought about waiting.

But who let him hear the news in Yingchuan a few days ago.

said that what kind of drama Fengyi actually created something like floor heating, which can be like a warm day in the cold winter.

This made Guo Jia greedy.

In addition, some time ago, the guy from Xi Zhicai wrote to invite him to Xuchang.

Ponder over.

Guo Jia made a decision.

This cold winter is really difficult.

Although he is young, his body is not very good, and he can't stand the cold.

What's more, there is also a mother of Xu Shu.

After thinking about it, Guo Jia still found a carriage and directly brought Xu Shu's mother over to join his friend.

The newly built Xuchang City was built against the old capital of Luoyang.

The entire city still has a bit of the momentum of the original Ruoyang City from the outside.

Some time ago, the imperial court issued a recruitment order, and now there are not a few scholars who come and go to Xuchang.

The streets of Xuchang are full of people.

The six-lane lane is divided, and the vehicles are divided into left and right directions.

Guo Jia had already straightened up from his reclining posture, and his eyes looked up and down at everything around Xuchang.

Maybe it's just after the end of the year, even if it's a little cold, but the atmosphere on the street is extremely lively.

The greetings of business travelers in my ears are endless.

Guo Jia squinted.

I didn't expect that in just a few years, the changes in the entire Cao Ying have been so obvious.

When he first defected to Yuan Shao, he naturally wanted to make a career in today's era, but after seeing Yuan Shao's nature clearly.

Guo Jiacai dissipated the plan in his heart, when he was in Yanzhou, he did not agree to the invitation of Xi Zhicai and others.

In a few years, the entire Cao camp has indeed been moving forward step by step.

It's a little better than he imagined.

Looking at the current situation, in the entire Han world, the princes who can be crowned in this troubled era, I am afraid that Cao Ying will inevitably occupy one of them.

After learning the location of the theater from the passers-by on the side, Guo Jia quickly arrived at the theater with his horse.

……

On the other side, Xi Yu had just arrived at the government office when someone informed the family that someone was visiting.

"Come to think of it, it's Guo Fengxiao who is here!"

Guo Jia came to the matter, and Xi Zhicai on the other side also received the news.

This kung fu, Xi Zhicai was a little excited, got up directly and said goodbye to the group, and hurriedly planned to rush back.

Xi Yu paused.

He came to the government office this time, originally planning to see the situation of the scholars recruited by the recruitment order, and to select and see if there were any people who could serve as school teachers.

Now I heard that Guo Jia was actually here.

Xi Yu couldn't help but glance at Xi Zhicai, and at this moment, Xi Zhicai glanced at Xi Yu at the same time.

Xi Yu knew it in his heart.

This brother of his own, although he doesn't show too much on weekdays, the other party still cares about his younger brother very much.

Today, the school is newly built.

Guo Jia came at this time, and the role played by Xi Zhicai is extremely obvious.

Thanks to Guo Jia's arrival, Xi Yu was not in a hurry to check the situation on the recruitment order, and turned his head and planned to return to the house with Xi Zhicai.

"Bonghyo is here!"

Xun Yu in the main hall was also a little surprised, he persuaded Guo Jia to come to Cao Ying over the years, but the latter never agreed.

I never thought that I would come to Xuchang now.

"Zhicai, when I finish handling today's government affairs, I'll visit the theater later!"

Xun Yu said a word to the two brothers of the opera, but he was not in a hurry to follow him to see Guo Jia.

Now that Guo Jia is here, after all, the first person to find is Xi Zhicai, and there must be something to discuss between them.

Xun Yu is an understanding person, and he naturally knows in his heart that his nephew is about to arrive.

Today's Xuchang is more lively than before.

……

After leaving the government office, Xi Zhicai and Xi Yu walked side by side.

"Big brother, that guy Fengxiao came, you invited him!"

Glancing at Xi Zhicai, Xi Yu asked with a casual smile.

According to Guo Jia's temperament, this guy would not choose to come to Cao Ying under the current circumstances.

If it weren't for the invitation of the drama Zhicai, it would definitely not appear now.

"That's right!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "I have been in correspondence with Feng Xiao for a long time a few years ago, and you and I know that that guy obviously has a talent, but now he has no intention of showing it." ”

"It's nothing more than arrogance and unruliness!"

This thing is simple to say, with the temperament of a person like Guo Jia.

If you want to play, you have to choose to play when you are in danger, but Cao Ying is thriving at the moment.

One less Guo Jia, one more Guo Jia, the impact is really not big.

Just like Guo Jia, he defected to Yuan Shao at the beginning.

Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, there are too many strategists who go to defect, and with Guo Jia's status, it is really difficult to appear in front of Yuan Shao.

What's more, Yuan Shao, this guy is still a person who attaches great importance to reputation.

In the final analysis, it is to attach importance to the family and the family, and the Guo family has Guo Tu, so it is naturally difficult for Guo Jia to enter the eyes of the other party.

Even if you have a talent, there is no place to show it.

And now Cao Ying, the situation is similar.

Now there are many strategists under Cao Cao.

But the only difference is that Cao Cao doesn't care if he is a poor person, and Cao Cao values ability more.

According to the original course.

Xi Zhicai died of illness due to physical reasons last year, and there was no longer Xi Zhicai, the main beam in Cao Ying.

Xun Yucai took the initiative to recommend Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

And now, Xi Zhicai does not have the slightest problem with his body, and has become the most important figure in Cao Ying.

In the position of the middle secretary, Xun Yu will not invite Guo Jia like the original process.

"It's hard work, big brother!"

Xi Yu knew that Xi Zhi invited Guo Jia to come, almost obviously helping him Xi Yu find a helper.

After all, even he didn't know about Guo Jia's coming.

What's more, it's Cao Cao!

"You and I are brothers, since it's your business, how can you not think about it as a brother!"

"The lintel of the dramatist, thanks to the support of you and me!"

"Besides, your name is much louder now than that of your brother!"

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh.

Why did he choose Cao Cao, a talent that can be displayed by himself.

On the other hand, there is a natural desire to revive the lintel.

Since the decline of the opera, what Xi Zhicai has been thinking about is to make his own family shine again.

And today's dramatists, although there are only two people, him and Xi Yu, they are no worse than those wealthy families.

"Speaking of that guy Fengxiao, I guess this guy can't hold it anymore!"

"Now that the winter is cold, you and I can't be clearer about that guy's body, where can that guy resist, not to mention, he also helps Xu Shu take care of the other party's mother!"

"When that guy heard that when he corresponded with me some time ago, he was asking you about the floor heating between the lines!"

The two joked all the way, and after a while, they had already returned to the opera.

The two of them crossed the corridor all the way, and when they arrived at the main hall of the opera, they raised their eyes and saw a figure lying horizontally on the main hall of the opera.

"This guy really doesn't think of himself as an outsider at all!"

Looking at the situation in front of him, the corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Xi Yu could see the joy that jumped out of his brother's eyebrows.

Speaking of the relationship with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are closer than him.

They are like a gourd, split from the middle, one person and one scoop, one from the east scoop to the west, and the other from the south scoop to the north.

……

At this time, I heard movement outside the main hall.

Guo Jia, who was lying in the hall, moved, and directly left a back for the two brothers of the opera.

It's like falling asleep.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled, followed two or three steps and walked up, raised his foot and kicked Guo Jia's hips.

"Shhh

"What a drama talent, that's how he treats visitors!"

Guo Jia, who was kicked, turned over and got up, staring at Xi Zhicai with his whole eyes, his whole face bared his teeth and grinning, without the demeanor of a scribe at all.

Xi Zhicai was not polite to the other party.

He sat directly on the floor of the main hall and grinned and laughed.

"Oh, how can there be a guest lying in the main hall of the main house, treating himself as an object to block the way?"

The two scolded each other for a few words, but then returned to their normal colors.

Xi Yu sat on the other side and glanced at Guo Jia.

The other party is still not much different from the beginning, but compared to a few years ago, there are a few more strands of beard under the chin.

"How's my aunt?"

After Zhengse, Xi Zhicai took the lead in asking Guo Jia.

The latter grinned and chuckled: "It's in the back hall now!" ”

"Speaking of which, the floor heating made by Fengyi is really a bit magical!"

Guo Jia touched the slightly warm ground with his hands, as if he couldn't put it down.

"I should have come sooner if I had known there was such a warm thing!"

Although he said this, Xi Yu and Xi Zhicai didn't care at all.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Xi Zhicai asked Guo Jia.

If the other party has plans to serve Cao Ying, he will naturally help Guo Jia recommend him in front of Cao Cao.

With his recommendation, some things would naturally be simpler.

Hearing Xi Zhicai say this, Guo Jia shook his head.

"No, no, no!"

"I look at today, the rise of Cao Ying is unstoppable, and it doesn't have much impact with me!"

"And looking at the princes of the world, Yuan Shao of Hebei, has a plan and is indecisive, this person may be able to become a prince all the way by virtue of his heritage, but it is difficult to become a big thing!"

"Huainan Yuan Shu, eager for quick success, is not to worry, it is expected that soon, it will set fire to self-immolation."

"Jingzhou Liu Biao, more than enough, not enough enterprising!"

"And the newly emerged Jiangdong Sun Ce is a bit interesting, but after all, his person just lacks some momentum, and the future is still unknown!"

"As for Lu Bu in Bingzhou, the dog who lost his family, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, a pool of stagnant water, like a turtle in an urn!"

"The pattern of the world is so clear, I expect that your two brothers will naturally see it clearly!"

Guo Jia smiled, opened his mouth and yawned, for him, he still prefers something a little difficult.

Riding the wind like this makes it less interested.
