The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August. Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.

In the vast world, the snow is white.

On the Yanyun River, thin ice has formed, and there is no trace of wild beasts outside in this weather.

"Uncle, what is that?" Li Yingwei shouted.

Princess Zhang Le was wearing a red wedding dress, Lin Ziyun took a white robe from the storage bag and put it on for her, and the two kept walking in the direction of Ye Jiangcheng. Qin Song should be in front of Baijiang City at the moment, and the team of relatives was destroyed, and only by finding Qin Song can he complete this mission.

Lin Ziyun stepped forward and saw a middle-aged man in a sackcloth shirt nestled in the snow.

"It seems like there's still breathing. Lin Ziyun whispered.

There was an aura between his fingers, and one finger reached out and placed it on the man's head.

After a long time, the man in sackcloth slowly woke up.

He looked at the two people in front of him, and the man in sackcloth knelt down with a thud.

"Thank you for saving me! Thank you for saving me!"

Lin Ziyun smiled at him, helped him up and said, "Don't thank me, this brother, it's snowing all over now, you better go home early, presumably your family must be very anxious." ”

Li Yingwei stared at Lin Ziyun curiously, and said, "Uncle, you are too powerful, cure diseases and save people, what else can't you do?"

Lin Ziyun said: "He should be physically exhausted, there is no big problem." ”

"Engong, my home is at the foot of the mountain. Two benefactors, the wind and snow in the mountains are too big, so it's better to go to my house to warm up before leaving. The middle-aged man said.

Before Lin Ziyun could speak, Li Yingwei spoke first: "Uncle, let's go over and hide for a while, it's too cold outside." ”

"Okay, thank you brother!" Lin Ziyun said to the man.

"What did Engong say, although my family doesn't have anything to entertain the two, but my mother-in-law's skills are not bad, so the two Engong don't have to be more polite. ”

Li Yingwei was accompanied by Lin Ziyun, not like she had just received a big shock. Instead, like an innocent girl, looking left and right, full of interest. Lin Ziyun saw that the man in sackcloth was carrying a load of firewood on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but say, "Big brother is collecting firewood, is it heating the fire at home?"

The man in sackcloth smiled at Lin Ziyun and said, "Engong, my family has been at the foot of Hengshan for generations. This chopping wood is what I rely on for my livelihood. ”

Lin Ziyun frowned, and said: "Isn't the land law promulgated by the state already implemented throughout the country? Why doesn't the eldest brother go to reclaim the fertile land, the state still has subsidies." If you are not careful, you will be in danger. ”

The man in sackcloth smiled at Lin Ziyun and said, "Engong doesn't know, not to mention that this land law has not been implemented by us yet." Even if it is implemented, my family is waiting for a ration, and if I don't go up the mountain, I won't be able to survive this cold winter. A few days ago, my mother-in-law also took her two children to dig some wasteland. However, the flames of war in Yejiang City are about to spread. Now every family has to pay the army for silver and grain, and now no one is willing to farm. ”

Lin Ziyun was puzzled and said, "Why is this? What does the reclamation of wasteland have to do with war?"

"It doesn't have much to do with it, but we are far away from the emperor here. Bandits and bandits are rampant, not to mention the constant war. The tax of conscription does not decrease every year, and the country has rewards for opening up wasteland, so you also have a life to take it. In the final analysis, the people are not happy, every household is eating today, looking forward to tomorrow, and the reward that the emperor hopes for is of no use to us at all. It's even better to go up the mountain and chop firewood for a penny, and a penny is really good. The Mai man said with a sigh.

Li Yingwei heard that he had quite a disagreement with the royal policy, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I see, you are just lazy. In the past, when the land was owned by the state, it was better than it is now, right?"

Lin Ziyun shook his head with a smile and said: "In the past, the land was concentrated in the hands of the landlords and the state, and these people only needed to sow seeds and cultivate the fields. Although there is a lot of tax every year, most of the people can eat a mouthful of food. Nowadays, the situation is different, although the land is owned by the people, but the existing land is already difficult for the people to cultivate, not to mention that there is new land to do. Not to mention the locust plague, it is only one aspect of water conservancy, and I don't know how many farmers have suffered because of it. ”

Li Yingwei said: "Uncle, isn't Sima Xianggong's policy wrong?"

Lin Ziyun still shook his head and said: "Definitely, if it is done well, it is a good policy, but if it does not work up and down, it is a poison that poisons the people." ”

"Uncle, what should I do?" Li Yingwei sighed.

Lin Ziyun thought of the new law change, and he had a lot of thoughts. However, he thought of the current chaos in the world, and the people were struggling to make a living. I'm afraid that the New Deal will be nipped in the bud, and money and food must be supported to fight a war, so what's the use of having more fertile land?

"In fact, the state does not have to take back the ownership of land, and it is naturally a good thing for farmers to have good land. However, it is necessary to exclude those who have good interests or poison the masses and indiscriminately occupy private land for other purposes. If the government arranges for each household to be counted on a per capita basis, the land will be allocated. If the state wants to profit from it, it only needs to calculate it according to the yield of each household in terms of seedlings. In this way, the government gave the people money and grain, and the people sowed seeds and cultivated, and then collected the agricultural tax after the harvest. The country and the people, the king and the people, just like fish and water, are interdependent. Lin Ziyun said.

When Lin Ziyun said this, Li Yingwei clapped her hands.

"Uncle, your idea is so good!"

Lin Ziyun's idea is actually to learn from Wang Anshi's green seedling method, one step ahead of the times is a madman, and half a step ahead of the generation is a genius. He can't talk about modern reform and opening up.

"Engong, try my mother-in-law's craftsmanship. Don't dare to say anything else, this boiled mandarin fish is definitely delicious. The middle-aged man with a pure face smiled.

Li Yingwei blew a breath of hot air, took a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

"Auntie, it's delicious. ”

"Girl, eat more. The woman who cooked the rice laughed.

"There's something to ask you about!" Lin Ziyun said suddenly.

"Engong just said that he could help Engong, and it was too late for me to be happy. The middle-aged man laughed.

"My brother and sister are going to Baijiang City to join their relatives, I don't know how many roads are there from Baijiang City?" Lin Ziyun said.

Li Yingwei heard Lin Ziyun talk about her brother and sister, and for some reason, she glared at Lin Ziyun. The middle-aged man glanced at the two of them with a grin, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Baijiang City is not far away, but it is windy and snowy, and it will be delayed for some time, but it will take at least three days. If Engong goes to Yuning to take a boat and take the waterway, it will be faster. ”

Lin Ziyun knew that Yuning Town was a border town in Luoyun, Qingzhou, and since taking a boat could shorten the journey, he could naturally consider it.

After resigning from the villagers, Lin Ziyun and Li Yingwei hurried away.

Thousands of miles of Qingzhou Luoyun, frozen for thousands of miles. As far as the eye can see, flakes of snow wander in the boundless expanse of the world.

If it weren't for the fact that there were cultivators who could appear at any time, Lin Ziyun thought about trying to use spiritual power to fly with Li Yingwei. But if you do this, it will be too ostentatious and will inevitably be discovered. And once one's spiritual power is insufficient, it will definitely be extremely dangerous to encounter a strong enemy. The two of them walked like this, although the speed was a little slower, but it was better to be safe.

Heavy snow covered the sky, and the long river was also frozen for three feet. Li Yingwei threw a stone, the ice on the river was extremely hard, and the slightest sound of water could be heard.

"Wow, the river is frozen. ”

She likes to play on weekdays, running to the river and jumping around, cheering and jumping.

Lin Ziyun saw that she was as innocent as a romantic girl, and thought that the little princess would marry Nanyan and marry a stranger. A wave of excitement stirred up in his heart, and he slowed down and walked with the little princess. Perhaps, it's better to slow down, looking at Li Yingwei's smile, Lin Ziyun thought so.

"Uncle, you see me dancing......"

Li Yingwei is graceful, like a fairy in the cold palace in the ice and snow, as if she wants to fly away in the wind.

Lin Ziyun was about to catch up with her, the ice was smooth, and he was afraid that she would fall. Suddenly, the ice on the river in front of Li Yingwei exploded, and suddenly there was a strange change.

"Roaring ......"

Lin Ziyun was shocked, and hurriedly rushed over, hugged Li Yingwei and flew to the shore.

In the middle of the river, a huge strange snake appeared, breaking through the ice, opening its bloody mouth and revealing its fangs.
