Chapter 338: To add insult to injury

In the winter of the second year of Tianlu, the emperor sold the "Qinlong Building", when the world was changing, no one was willing to accept the "Qinlong Building", only sold 200,000 taels of silver, the guests of the "Huijin" money village also felt in danger, and they withdrew the cash silver, the court was short of cash, unable to repay, the more the court lacked silver, the more people were afraid, the more afraid they were, the more they wanted to exchange cash, so the capital, the "Big Dragon City", and "Little Dragon City" were panicked for a while.

The emperor had no solution but to issue treasure money, but since the imperial court issued treasure money more than 200 years ago, after the depreciation of the treasure banknotes, no one has believed in the treasure banknotes, everyone only recognizes gold and silver, and even the money has depreciated a lot, once a thousand coins were exchanged for one or two silvers, and now it has become four thousand coins for one or two silvers.

'Tianlu' two years of wax month, close to the New Year, the emperor will be the harem gold and silver to sell, all the silver obtained into the research and development of firearms, this dynasty firearms since the 'Qizong' thirty years have regressed, and longer than small firearms, clumsy in large artillery, although also in the 'Western Wilderness Red Ghost' hands to buy some, but after all, the number is limited, in order to learn from the 'Western Wilderness' and 'Red Ghost Country' invited craftsmen to study with Chang Lao Jiu.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year of 'Tianlu', the world's number one expert 'Thor', who had been in the storm for more than ten years, dissolved into ashes, and He Li, the deputy of the 'Earth Sect' who was at odds with the 'God of Thunder', was promoted to the sect master of the 'Earth Sect', called 'Nuwa', and recalled Li Jiuling as the master of the 'Thunder Sect', called 'Thunder God', and also informed 'Lei Shao' of the bad news of his father.

In the spring of the third year of Tianlu, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to join forces to study drought-resistant and cold-resistant crops, and issued a list to encourage the people to reclaim wasteland.

In the spring of the third year of 'Tianlu', the people picked up the bark and grass roots to eat, and the people had almost no place to live.

At the end of spring, Jiang Yuanling fought the 'Golden Cavalry' and defeated it with a new firearm, and the 'Golden Cavalry' horses were fast, and most of them fled back to Guanwai, which was encouraged inside and outside the court. In the summer, Jiang Yuanling defeated the Liukou, nine out of ten, the emperor was overjoyed, sealed the Taishi, and gave the unicorn suit.

In the summer, the flood in the whole territory of 'Gumengzhou' in the southern section of 'Weizhou', and at the end of summer, the hurricane along the coast of 'Xiezhou' uprooted trees and houses, and the waves overflowed the shore, overturning Zhuangtian without a plan, and more than 100,000 people were displaced.

In the autumn, Yu Qibai will 'Beichuan' elite soldiers, a total of 'Ten Thousand Poison Sect', more than a month around, defeated, except for the suzerain, the rest of the people were annihilated, the emperor was overjoyed again, in the same month, Zhong Yu defeated Zhao Wenhuai's son Zhao Lei, beheaded his two deputy generals, hit Huo Wuyang hard, tens of thousands of his men were annihilated, Huo Wuyang escorted Zhao Lei to escape to the outside of the border in disguise in the chaos.

At the end of autumn, there is a great drought again, the people hunt wild beasts, eagles and birds for food, cattle, sheep and wild boars die, and the people hunt tigers and leopards for food. After the great drought, the emperor sent a private letter to ask for the assistance of the clan, and the kings all shirked it, and the emperor prepared two taels of silver in the imperial court, and got a total of 30,000 taels, a drop in the bucket, and the emperor secretly sent the eunuch Xu Nianen to 'Gumengzhou' to find a rich merchant to borrow two taels of silver, all of which were deduced that the taxes were heavy, the world was in chaos, and the business was not good, so he did not borrow.

At this age, the rich have been robbed and killed countless people, and the rich have invited masters to protect the hospital to no avail, there is a rich businessman, hiding hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, inviting more than 100 nursing homes, and hiring three top masters of 'Juntian Jiuding' to sit in charge of the result, but still not spared, the three top masters of 'Juntian Jiuding' were also dug out of their hearts and died.

Beginning of winter. 'Zhongzhou Zen Buddhism' 'Don't ask' the old master relapsed and passed away, so far, 'Zhongzhou Zen' three masters do not exist.

Time passed little by little, every day seemed to be very slow, but in the blink of an eye it was another year, Liang Xie's body became more and more robust, and his martial arts were gradually recovering, in addition to occasionally seeing his senior brother this year, he had only seen two people, one was Liu Shiyi, who often made clothes for him, and the other was the old Li Tou who got along with him day and night, the sky was becoming more and more perverted, the first day of the beginning of winter, the fish pond was frozen and solid, in this weather, even if the rain was sufficient, there would be no yield.

Maybe it's because the weather is too cold or maybe it's because of his age, Lao Li Tou has been coughing every day since the autumn, his body is not as good as a day, he has no home, the fish pond is his home, he has no children, Liang Xie takes care of him every day as his son, all the work of Lao Li Tou is responsible for Liang Xie alone, but the illness is like this, Lao Li Tou still keeps smoking dry tobacco every day, the dry smoke seems to have magic power and is unstoppable, Liang Xie remembered his grandfather when he was a child, at that time his grandfather also smoked dry tobacco every day, the more he smoked, the more he coughed, the more he coughed。

The weather is cold day by day, Lao Li Tou's body is getting worse, he simply can't get up after the beginning of winter, and he has to be served for three meals a day.

Winter solstice.

In the morning, Liang Xie waited for Lao Li Tou to eat and exited the house, looking at the bare trees and the fish pond that had long been frozen into ice mounds, Liang Xie couldn't help but feel a little sad, the world seemed to have no life at this moment, only desolation.

The cold wind blew the gravel in the ground and the clouds in the sky, and the clouds obscured the sun, and after a while the sun came out of the clouds with no energy, and after a while it burrowed into another cloud.

There are more and more clouds in the sky, bigger and bigger, gradually white, thin and transparent clouds are getting fewer and fewer, gray clouds, more and more thick clouds, the sun is more and more when it is covered by clouds, the sky is getting colder and colder, Lao Li Tou coughed more and more badly, from noon to evening he coughed up a big bowl of blood, Liang Xie cooked some porridge, boiled medicine for Lao Li Tou to drink, Lao Li Tou was silent and just waved his hand, but his eyes were staring at the cigarette pouch on the table, Liang Xie understood, took the cigarette pouch and lit it for Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou took a hard breath in his mouth, white smoke came out of his nostrils, Lao Li Tou closed his eyes but did not take a second puff。

Lao Li Tou is gone, Liang Xie can't talk about sadness, only feels desolate, from then on he is the only one left by the fish pond, there is no longer the old man who loves to be greedy for small and cheap, there is no old man who cooks unpalatablely, and there is no old man who is quite particular about the festival.

Lao Li Tou left, Liang Xie found out the silver he hid from under the cover in his cabinet, a total of seventy-three taels and six dollars, really a lot, he fought with Liang Xie for wages during his lifetime, but he couldn't take it away after his death, Liang Xie cut a tree and made a coffin that didn't look like a coffin, put Lao Li Tou into the burial and found a piece of land to dig a pit to bury Lao Li Tou, the cigarette pouch and tobacco were Lao Li Tou's favorite during his lifetime, and naturally they were also put into the burial, Liang Xie carved a wooden tablet for Lao Li Tou, and then respectfully kowtowed a few heads to be completed, the etiquette can not be simplified anymore, but at this moment, there are a few people in the world who can enter the earth for peace?

Lao Li Tou has no children, he has nowhere to deal with the silver he saved, Liang Xie originally planned to put it into the funeral and then carve a stone tablet for Lao Li Tou, and I want to forget it, when this troubled times, there are a lot of people digging graves, as long as the grave that is a little too eye-catching is inevitably planed, carving stone tablets to attract thieves to remember, rather than spending that thing It is better to take out the silver and distribute it to people who can't eat, at least a few lives can be saved, so, a few days later, Liang Xie rushed to the 'Nine Liang City' to distribute the silver to the refugees in the name of Lao Li Tou.

On the sixth day after the winter solstice, it snowed in most places in the southern section of 'Weizhou' and 'Gumengzhou', which was different from the snow that melted down a few years ago, and this snow fell for three days, several feet deep, freezing to death of many crops and people. When the emperor learned the news, he didn't speak, nor was he as irritable as usual, but silently walked out of the main hall, just this day the capital was also snowing, this was a light snow, this time the emperor did not compose a poem, he stood outside the hall for a long time, the cold wind rolled fine snow particles blowing on the emperor's head and face, did not have the slightest fear because of his identity, and then the emperor's ears were frozen, and the pain was difficult to be yellow water.

In the spring of the fourth year of Tianlu, the imperial court encouraged "Zhongzhou", "Tangzhou", "Xijiang", "Beichuan" and other areas less than severe cold to cultivate crops such as sorghum, sweet potato, millet and other crops, and planted less rice that was not tolerant to drought.

At the end of the fourth year of the spring of 'Tianlu', Yifeng, who had no news for a long time, finally had news, and as soon as there was news, it was a big move, Yifeng traveled all over the rivers and lakes and reorganized the 'Banbu Hall', and there were more than 30 disciples.

The capital, the Imperial Palace.

The sky was overcast, and the emperor stood on the base of the temple and looked at the sky without blinking, looking at the hard-won black clouds. His back was a little rickety, his sideburns were already a little gray, his face had a few strands of sickness, he had not rested for a long, long time, repeated blows, years of drought, countless troubles, and ministers who were hindered everywhere, all of which tortured him from exhaustion and haggardness, and a succession of mistakes in decision-making made him even worse.

If the emperor of the 'Tianmang Dynasty' at the time of 'Qizong' can operate normally as long as he does five things correctly in ten important things, then the emperor of the 'Tianmang Dynasty' must do seven or eight things right in ten things to have hope for the imperial court, but unfortunately he can't do it, and his courtiers can't do it, he is not a genius, his talent is not as good as Taizu, Taizong, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who was forced to ascend the throne, there is no Li Jing among his generals, there is no Huo Quai, and there is no General Ji of this dynasty. General Tianzhu', there is no capable minister among his ministers.

The righteous and awe-inspiring Duan Toriyi, the good Mr. Mi Renzhong, and the knowledgeable Zhang Lidai, these ministers who he trusted and valued the most to assist him did not seem to be as conscientious as he imagined, and the courtiers were more intrigued and less practical in a day, but in addition to these he could not find a more suitable candidate, he did not understand why what he wanted to do was always restricted, why there were always people who wanted to destroy things that were beneficial to everyone, why the national disaster was at the head, and the officials ate the court's money but even the silver for disaster relief had to be embezzled.....。
