Chapter 142: The Neighboring Countries Are Exhausted

The opening of the restaurant branch exploded, and Ming Lanying happily wrote to Ye Jielu and Tang Ning to share her happiness.

Biansai soon ushered in the heavy snow in the middle of winter, and this year's heavy snow came more ferocious than usual.

Zhao Lao looked worriedly at the snow that had been falling for two days and two nights, "There will be snow trouble again this year......

Ming Lanying warmed her hands with the roasted sweet potatoes in her hands, "Do you often have snow in the side plug?" Why don't I seem to have encountered it? ”

Zhao Lao seemed to recall the bad old days, and frowned, "You didn't get here at that time, and the heavy snow that year flooded the entire border plug, and the eyes were all white...... The snow collapsed the house, and tens of thousands of people froze to death in one night......"

"No matter what, the people here are the emperor's people, but the inaction of the officials, let these people freeze to death and starve to death, those corrupt officials gave relief food and relief silver, and lied about the disaster, just to ask for more compensation silver, they stepped on the bones and ate human blood steamed buns, but they were not afraid at all!"

It was the human prison that Zhao Lao saw shortly after he arrived at Biansai with Xiao Dongxia, and Xiao Dongxia was scared for a while and didn't like to talk.

Ming Lanying stood silently under the eaves and looked at the snow, and said slowly for a while: "Fortunately, most of the corrupt officials have been arrested and severely punished. ”

Zhao Lao sighed, "But natural disasters will not wait for people, and this time the heavy snow disaster is estimated to kill people again......

Ming Lanying smiled, "Old Zhao, why do you have to worry about everything!" If you want to take it easy, it's up to you! When the snow comes, strengthen the house, prepare more carbon when it is frozen, and prepare more medicinal herbs when it is cold. ”

"As long as you don't deliberately seek death, you won't starve to death, and if the grain is frozen, you will open a porridge shed to reduce the price of food, as long as you work together to survive this snow disaster, you will be fine!"

Zhao Lao looked at her helplessly, "You are optimistic, do you know how difficult it is to work together here?" ”

Ming Lanying raised her chin slightly and smiled reservedly, "In the face of absolute power and force, everything is not a problem. ”

The most valuable identity of Bian Sai is Ye Juelu, and the military power is also in his hands.

Except for the emperor who was far away in the capital, no one dared to argue with the Yanbei Palace, and no one dared to disobey the orders of the Yanbei King.

As long as they don't provoke the anger of the public, they can indeed walk sideways at the side of the plug.

Zhao Lao didn't know what to say about her, he only felt that she was still naΓ―ve, shook his head and sighed and went back to the yard.

Ming Lanying only finished talking to Zhao Lao about the heavy snow in the morning, and in the afternoon, Ming Langtao came to the palace to discuss the snow with her.

Although Ming Langtao has only been the prefect for a few years, he has not been in vain, he has read the dossier of the palace newspaper over the years, and observed the weather in the past few days.

The snow is so heavy that you can get lost on your doorstep when you go out, and you know with your feet that this winter won't be easy.

As soon as Ming Langtao entered the side hall, he quickly shook off the snow, and the side hall burned a charcoal basin, not to mention that it was as warm as spring, but it could also make people feel comfortable.

Ming Langtao approached the charcoal basin to keep warm, "It's still Sister Lan Ying!" ”

Ming Lanying propped her head and looked at him, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's talk about it." ”

Ming Langtao pointed to the world outside the house that was flooded by heavy snow, "The snow scene is not good this year, there is a snow disaster nine times out of ten, the lower official has come to invite the princess, is this a matter of care or not?" ”

Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "As the prefect, can you ignore the people on this side?" ”

Ming Langtao waved his hand, "Isn't this all the look of the eyes!" ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Now your boss is Ye Juelu, if you don't deal with the snow disaster this time, it will be related to the reputation of Yanbei Wangfu in the border stopper, the reputation of Yanbei Wangfu is stinky, but it can't cover you!" Do you think you should care? ”

Ming Lanying threw the question to Ming Langtao again, and Ming Langtao reluctantly raised his hand and said, "I know, I know, for my glory and wealth, I have to take care of everything, but it is also the first time I have encountered a snow disaster, and I have no experience!" ”

Ming Lanying was also inexperienced, scratched her head, and said what she had said to Zhao Lao again.

"Stock up on enough charcoal, quilts, food and medicinal herbs, and send people to inspect people's houses, reinforce dangerous houses, and then pick a large site to make temporary shelters and make second-hand preparations."

Ming Langtao had a charter in his heart after listening to it, and it happened that Zhao Lao was also there, so he asked Zhao Lao about the medicinal materials that Xue might use, and saw that the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was convenient for him to have dinner in the palace.

In winter, it was already dark early, coupled with the bad weather, it had been snowing heavily, and it was dark earlier than usual, and the dark and oppressive sky made people feel dull.

Ming Langtao and Ning Er were playing against each other in the warm pavilion, Ming Lanying had already cooked recipes on the side, and Mama Cai grinded and picked up the lamp for her.

Ming Lanying can't play chess, Zhao Lao has studied medicinal materials and medical skills all his life, and he can't play chess.

The two played three games in a row, and Ming Langtao racked his brains and only got one win and two losses, and finally lost out of exhaustion.

"Don't play, don't play, my half-baked chess skills are boring, I can't play Meng Huaisu, I can't play Ning'er! It's a shame to spread it! Don't I want to lose face in my dignified prefect! ”

Ning Er put away the chess pieces one by one, and said with a serious face: "My uncle let me, don't be ashamed." ”

Ming Lanying snorted, Ming Langtao's face was weird, and he grabbed Ning'er's little head and asked Ming Lanying.

"What did you feed Ning'er? How did you become so smart when you eat melon seeds? I don't know if it's like Ye Jielu or like you? ”

"Of course my son is smarter than you! Learn anything fast! ”

Mama Cai lowered her head and smiled, the wind outside the window suddenly became louder, and everyone only heard a dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the yard.

Ming Lanying frowned and called, "What's going on outside?" ”

The maid at the door opened the curtain and poked her head out, the wind and snow were charming, and the maid squinted and saw that a corner of the tree in the yard was missing, and hurriedly retracted back into the house.

"Back to the princess, a branch of the tree in the yard has been crushed, do you need the slave maid to ask someone to clean it up?"

Ming Lanying was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Forget it, let's talk about it when the snow stops." ”

"Yes."

Mama Cai shook her head and sighed, "It's such a big snow in Biansai, and I don't know if the neighbor next door will be more serious than this." ”

Biansai is more northern, the winter is long and the summer is short, the summer is only two months, the neighboring countries are more north than the Biansai, but it is not clear how much north the Minglan warbler is.

"Are the winters in neighboring countries long too?"

Ming Langtao looked at her in surprise, "You don't know? The neighboring countries are basically located in the northland for several years of cold winters, and there is less than a month of summer in the four seasons of the year, but for us it can only be regarded as spring, just a little warmer, but for them it is summer. ”

Ming Lanying now has a general understanding, "Then the wind and snow on our side this year are so bad, are they okay?" ”

Ming Langtao rubbed his chin, "It's hard to say, the celestial phenomena are not interconnected, maybe we are in the wind and snow, and they are just drifting a little snow." ”

Ning Er tugged at Ming Lanying's hand, "Mother, according to the geographical location, the heavy snow here of ours will also affect several cities on their border, but their imperial city is in the cold winter wind and snow all year round, and they will be more accustomed to such an environment, so the impact on them may not be very great." ”

Ming Lanying rubbed his face with relief, "Oh, my Ning'er is so smart, I don't have to worry about anything with Ning'er." ”

Ming Langtao said with a smile: "If you want to read more, you have to feed the pigs, now you know that reading is good!" ”

Ming Lanying raised her foot with a smile and kicked him off, "I have Ning'er, what do you have?" It doesn't necessarily mean that you are smarter than Ning'er, so when the snow is small, hurry back and hand over the complete charter tomorrow. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the wind and snow outside the door were lighter, Ming Langtao hurriedly patted his ass and went home.

Ming Lanying was worried that the battle situation on the front line was not very good, but the wind and snow were too great to send the supplies, and the junior couldn't fly out and deliver the letter.

Ming Lanying's somewhat restless mood affected the little black panther who clinged to her every day, and the little black panther also flicked its long tail irritably, and from time to time hit the wolf cub lying on the side.

The wolf cub wanted to bite off the tail in disgust, but Ning Er held his head down with one hand, "Cubs can't, you have to live in harmony with Xiao Hei." ”

The wolf cub shook its head, bared its teeth at the little black panther's vicious bares, and then moved to Ning'er's side.

The thick and fluffy wolf fur of the wolf cub is very comfortable to lean on, and Ning'er likes to lean on the wolf cub in winter.

Ming Lanying glanced at the snow-white wolf cub, reached out and pinched its ears, "Cub, will you get lost in such a big wind and snow outside?" ”

The wolf cub cocked his chin proudly, "Of course not!" I'm the King of Snow Wolves! ”

"Try it then?"

"Whew!"

Ning Er tilted her head, "Mother, what do you want the cub to try?" ”

Ming Lanying smiled and patted the wolf cub's little head, "See if he can deliver the letter." ”

Mama Cai looked at her in surprise, "The princess thinks twice, although the wolf cub is a beast, but there is such a big wind and snow outside, people can't tell the direction, how can the wolf cub tell the difference?" ”

The wolf cub raised his hand and patted it on the edge of the couch, and looked at Mama Cai with firm little eyes, as if to say it again!

Mama Cai was frightened, and Ming Lanying comforted her with a smile, "It's okay Mama Cai, the cub has a different bloodline, this is the descendant of the wolf king, maybe it can!" ”

The wolf is a class animal, if it was an ordinary snow wolf, Ming Lanying would not have tried so boldly.

But the wolf cub is a descendant of the wolf king, has a bloodline suppression, and the spirit is very early, and it is much smarter than other wolves, so she wants to try it.

Ning Er hugged the wolf cub's neck, a little worried, "Mother, it's snowing so hard outside, what if there is an accident?" ”

"Of course we won't let it go out when the snow is at its highest! Wait for the snow to light up and let the cub deliver the letter. ”

But this heavy snow did not stop for seven days, and Ming Langtao and Meng Huaisu discussed a complete set of snow hazard regulations for two days.

As soon as the charter came out, there were accidents in several houses that were crushed by snow, and the people and officials panicked for a while.

Ming Langtao and Meng Huaisu calmly dispatched the manpower, arranged things one by one, cleared the road, saved people, and repaired.

The charter will then be distributed to several other prefectures, counties, and subordinate units to minimize losses.

Yanzhou has Ming Lanying in charge, and the pharmacies are in the hands of Ming Lanying, which can quickly achieve the most reasonable distribution of medicinal materials.

Some businesses are also very knowledgeable to cooperate, open warehouses to reduce prices, and take the opportunity to earn a good reputation, but nothing major happened.

The snow in other states is not so serious, and the new officials are in a hurry soon after taking office, and if they don't send the charter even to Ming Langtao, they will probably be overwhelmed for a while.

However, businesses in other states and counties are not so aware of the overall situation, and they take the opportunity to raise prices and engage in hunger marketing if they want to make a fortune.

But these are all places that Minglan Ying can't control, and he is really helpless.

The threat of the threat, the warning of the warning, the rest is to see what the officials do.

The side plugs are busy dealing with the snow, and the front line is busy dealing with the raging storm and the enemy's knives hiding in the snow.

Ye Jielu had already conquered several cities before the heavy snow came, and only stopped to rectify when the enemy's reinforcements arrived.

This stop is passive, the blizzard is coming, which is conducive to the enemy's attack, in terms of tactics, Ye Jielu chose to be conservative, hold the current position and troops, food and medicinal materials are precious materials to be carefully stored, and also to prevent the enemy from stealing home.

Hebai and Shan Zhao are not suitable for fighting in the snow, some are tied, and they are not happy, and in the end, the two of them are combined, and the army is defending head-on, and they take a small team of people to sneak attack, and they do not succeed in sneak attacks a few times at a time.

Anyway, if you can't beat it, it's better to secretly rub and kill a few to get angry.

General Tuoba knows his former colleagues well, he has a number of abilities, and with General Tuoba's analysis, Hebai and Shan Zhao are full of confidence in the sneak attack.

Ye Jielu pondered for a long time, and when he saw that the wind and snow did not stop, he agreed.

That night, Hebai and Shan Zhao changed into gray-white night clothes, ordered a team of agile assassins, and took advantage of the night and blood to touch the enemy's military camp, and Ye Jielu also assigned a few secret guards to protect the two.

On the first night of the sneak attack, they avoided the patrol team and touched the camp where the small post rested, Hebai and Shan Zhao directly killed several lieutenants and lieutenants, and they still couldn't look down on the small soldiers who did not have enough official positions.

One person cuts one, and when he sees it, he takes it.

Early the next morning, the enemy found that a few lieutenants had been broken in vain, and it was clear that they had been provoked, and several generals jumped to their feet angrily, threatening to pay the price on the other side.

But the heavens are not beautiful, and as soon as the neighboring countries have reorganized their troops, it will snow, and the snowflakes will be mixed with hailstones the size of fingers, which will fall high, and the heads of the people who will be smashed will hurt.

The breath of not being able to go out of the army was uncomfortable in their hearts, and several generals took their anger out on the military prostitutes in the barracks.

The spies hiding in the shadows were shocked by the number of military prostitutes of the thousands.

No one thought that a neighboring country would bring military prostitutes to the ranks when they sent troops to fight, and it was still close to more than 3,000 military prostitutes.

The spy didn't dare to hesitate and quickly handed the news back.

Ye Jielu sneered after receiving the news, and several generals leading the team in the camp all laughed mockingly, and General Tuoba had nothing to say.

Such an army with erosive military discipline, unless they have infinite manpower and are talented in killing the enemy, otherwise it is the opponent's military exploits.

Ye Jielu got up and looked at everyone, "If we lose to such an army, then we don't need to ask for reinforcements, just apologize!" ”

"Yes!!"
