The third day of August.

Liang Xie slept until midnight and was woken up by freezing, and when he came out of the house at dawn, he found that a few bluestones outside the courtyard were glowing with a layer of white light, and the branches and leaves of the trees in the distance were also sprinkled with lime.

"It's ..... Frost?" The soil under his feet came from a burst of cold Liang Xie finally realized that this was frost, Futian had just passed less than a month, this was only the beginning of August, 'Zhongzhou' in August, the leaves of the trees were yellowed during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and this year there was nearly half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival fell frost, Liang Xie couldn't help but feel hairy, and walked quickly to the fish pond to see that a thin layer of ice ballast had been frozen on the edge of the pond, and the mountain wind blew, and a sharp chill blew into his clothes, making his body that had just gotten up tremble slightly.

In the past 20 years, the weather has been cold for a year, the rain has been less than a year, and this year has not fallen for a drop of rain.

The mountain breeze blows the grass and trees, the cold spreads all over the earth, Liang Xie practices and guides the qi against the coolness, time passes slowly, the sun slowly emerges, when the sun shines down, the cold in the mountains seems to be somewhat relieved, Liang Xie absorbs the fresh and cold air without the slightest stop. When the sun rose to the height of Zhangyu, the mountains finally had a little warmth, Liang Xie happened to do one hundred and forty-four weeks, and immediately closed the momentum and turned around the house, just after eating, Liu Shiyi and two men sent Liang Xie clothes and quilts for autumn and winter, and all the clothes and bedding of Lao Li Tou were here, and there was no need for others to send a special trip.

Liang Xie was holding the cotton clothes, the tentacles were soft and smooth, as if they were newly made, looking at Liu Shiyi, who was still wearing a single clothes, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

The sudden change in the weather is not only on the 'Qiuchi Mountain', the entire 'Zhongzhou' has also become cold overnight, the 'Tangzhou' in the northwest of 'Zhongzhou' and other cold is better than 'Zhongzhou', the cold in the capital is earlier than 'Zhongzhou' a solar term, and the coldest 'Beichuan' is no exception, 'Big Xiaoice City' actually rained on the 15th of July, that day was overcast, the 'Golden Cavalry' of the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' was fighting with Fang Bing's 'Iron Armored Fire Cavalry', and suddenly it rained cold, and the two sides were forced to stop fighting.

By the end of August, half of the 'Kyushu' had a major drought, especially in 'Zhongzhou', the spring wheat grains were not harvested, and the seeds of the autumn crops could not even be planted in the ground except for a few places with paddy fields, and the hunger of the people of 'Zhongzhou' was a foregone conclusion, and by the ninth day of August, the price of rice in 'Zhongzhou' had skyrocketed by fifty percent, which was more than twice as expensive as the same time last year. The most thing in the Yang Dao League is food, and at this time it could have been a windfall, but Shao Mingqian couldn't be happy, he only felt unbearable and in crisis.

On the eve of August 15, Shao Mingqian received a letter from the emperor, the letter was very polite, the gap in the imperial court was too big, and now the silver was urgent, hoping that the 'Yang Dao League' could help, and at the same time, Shao Mingqian could help the court to relieve the disaster in 'Zhongzhou', appease the displaced people, so as not to steal the people, and then compensate for the tax recovery, Shao Mingqian took the letter and immediately agreed. The other people of the Yangdao League disagreed, the reason is very simple, the world is in drought, the price given by the emperor is not high, and it has to be sent to 'Beichuan', the same price can almost be sold in 'Zhongzhou', and looking at the current situation, 'Zhongzhou' this year's tax is no play, and 'Tangzhou' and other places will only collect less than last year, if the imperial court can't find silver mines and gold mines, let alone the money of the 'Yangdao League', even the silver to feed the soldiers of 'Beichuan' can't be taken out.

On August 20, Shao Mingqian tried his best to dispel public opinion, gave 10,000 stone of grain, and gave disaster relief porridge in the ten cities of 'Zhongzhou', and at the same time promised the emperor's call, in order to reduce transportation costs, the grain of 'Zhongzhou' was not moved, and some of the unused grain reserves purchased by the 'Six Dragons Gang' in 'Dalongcheng' last year plus the grain collected by 'Dayu Tiancheng' from 'Mijindu' totaled 1.6 million stone to be transported to the capital through the canal, and then transported from the capital to 'Beichuan'. Jin Yiwei's escort the grain to 'Beichuan'. Shao Mingqian had not left Beijing, and half of the 10,000 stone of relief grain from the 'Yangdao League' had already been eaten, so Shao Mingqian had no choice but to transfer another 30,000 stone of wheat for disaster relief, and at the same time began to sell stored grain in various places, and then let people go to 'Gumengzhou' and other less affected places to buy grain.

In September, the disaster was reported in various places, and the emperor was asked to reduce the tax allocation for disaster relief, the treasury was already empty, and the 'household department' was helpless, and the emperor had no choice but to move the silver of the depositors in the 'Huijin' money village to rescue the emergency, and wait for the tax to come back, or the land rent that was released, bought and sold, and the silver was recovered, and the money earned from the sale of the 'Qinlong Building' was made back again. However, what he didn't expect was that the 'Qinlong Building', which had always been an excellent business, had plummeted since he took over, and he couldn't figure it out, so he could only let the eunuch take care of it and let the cook cook well.

In mid-September, the imperial court allocated 1 million taels of silver to appoint Feng Zhu, the left attendant of the 'household department', Li Rong, the 'imperial envoy of Bajindu' and the 'imperial envoy of inspection', sent to 'Tangzhou' and 'Western Xinjiang' for disaster relief, and 'Zhongzhou' was replaced by the 'Yangdao League' for disaster relief, and the imperial court allocated 300,000 yuan of silver to be directly distributed to the 'Yangdao League'. Under the holy decree, the Manchu dynasty was in an uproar, and the ministers were furious, calling the 'Yang Dao League' a reckless gang in the rivers and lakes, how could they accept such a heavy responsibility? If they took the silver for themselves, the people would not be innocent, and the society would be in danger. Under pressure, the emperor was replaced by Zhang Qing, the 'Zhongzhou Hou', to carry out disaster relief.

In the past few years, the already chaotic world has been slightly improved, but the drought of more than half a year has become chaotic again, and the momentum is still better than at the beginning.

The fishpond was still calm, and there was no difference except that the water level had dropped by a foot compared to the spring, but the change in the weather was a little difficult for him to accept, and the weather had never been warm since the day of the frost on the third day of August, and it was not yet the beginning of winter. Qiuchi Mountain's is already bare, fallen leaves fly everywhere, the edge of the fish pond is covered with a layer, he and Lao Li Tou in addition to feeding the fish every day to clean up the fallen leaves, busy and happy, fortunately, after half a year of recovery Liang Xie's body is no less than the old Li Tou, now he can feed all the fish in a fish pond in less than an hour, since a few days ago, he took over the second fish pond, and became half of his and Lao Li Tou's management.

Although the new work made Liang Xie feel tired, he never stopped practicing, and the fatigue on his body was not as breathless as in spring.

In the second half of September, Liu Shiyi came once, and in addition to bringing some clothes, he also brought a person, a person that Liang Xie could never dream of - Ren Xiao.

Liu Shiyi took Ren Xiao to leave on her own after seeing Liang Xie, she left very decisively, but there was a trace of reluctance in her eyes.

Liang Xie didn't see it, and he didn't have time to see it, from the moment Ren Xiao appeared, his state of mind could no longer be as calm as before, he thought he had completely let go, but when he saw Ren Xiao, his heart was still inexplicably shocked, and then the whole heart was like being held in his hand.

In the more than half a year that they have been separated, many things have happened in Ren Xiao's family, first his father Ren Kangnian was demoted to an official when he was most proud, followed by Ren Xiao's in-laws who had just been married, and then his mother died, and then Ren Jiaxian, who had been quite quiet and polite, suddenly changed her temperament and scolded the maid all day long.

Liang Xie listened to Ren Xiao's words, and looked at the serious appearance of this former gentleman at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, his former brother-in-law has finally matured.

Ren Xiao's purpose is very simple, the title of Liang Xie has not changed, Liang Xie knows that this must be Jiaxian's meaning, he has put it down, but the change of things makes him a little unbearable, and in his heart Ren Jiaxian's figure has been lingering, but when she thinks of her domineering, her unreasonableness, her self-righteousness, Liang Xie still has a feeling of being in prison, in addition to her domineering demeanor towards Liu Shishi, Liang Xie is very disgusted, extremely disgusted.

He is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he will inevitably end up in the rivers and lakes from the rivers and lakes, he is unwilling to deal with the people in the government, the kind of people who are sent to the horse's fart and groveling and the rules and regulations he can't stand it, and he can't do it, he didn't see Ren Kangnian so restrained when he saw the emperor, and the kind of look with disgust on his black face made him never forget it for many years.

Jianghu people can be down-and-out, can be ordinary, can be restrained but can not be restrained, in the past ten years he has been bound, is against his conscience in doing things, against his will to do things, that is forced, forced to do the wrong is also wrong, now he doesn't want to be like that, he thinks it's good to do things for the senior brother to raise fish for the senior brother, he knows that the fish is well raised. Yang Dao League's brother's share has a share of the poor people in the world who don't have enough to eat, and every fish he feeds may be able to save a person, so every day when he drags his exhaustion to sleep, he is very satisfied.

Liang Xie fell into deep thought, on the one hand was his former wife, on the other hand was the life he wanted, he hesitated, just when he couldn't make up his mind, Ren Xiao persuaded him: "Brother-in-law, Daddy, he already knows that he is wrong, after going back this time, Daddy will help you to give the court a title, with your relationship with the emperor, the court will definitely give you a position, maybe you can't Jin Yiwei's post, when the time comes, you will serve in the capital, your father will be an official in the local area, and your son-in-law will take care of each other, and our family will not worry about no glory and wealth, which is ten thousand times better than you showing people the fish pond here...... ”

Liang Xie listened quietly, Ren Xiao has indeed changed, he has grown up, matured, and done things reliably, but this kind of high-sounding persuasion has dispelled all the unbearable in Liang Xie's heart, it turns out that in their hearts, the promotion and wealth of Guangzong Yaozu will always be put first, he found that she actually doesn't need him at all, but her father needs him very much, and needs to use his relationship with the emperor to get promoted and make a fortune, Ren Kangnian is no longer the Ren Kangnian of ten years ago, and Ren Xiao is not Ren Xiao of a year ago, maybe he has never really understood these two people, but it doesn't matter anymore。

Liang Xie didn't agree to Ren Xiao in the end, he didn't even have the interest to go back and take a look, as a waste person who couldn't write articles, couldn't set a strategy and lost all his martial arts and didn't even know how to farm, he felt that looking at the fish pond was a gift from his senior brother, he didn't want to take too much advantage, he didn't want to look at people's faces to live, and he didn't want to make friends with the emperor, which was good, very good.

Ren Xiao left, with contempt and contempt in his eyes, Liang Xie saw it in his eyes, but there was no unhappiness in his heart.

The fifth day after the beginning of winter is the Xia Yuan Festival, the weather is particularly cold on this day, a thin layer of ice has appeared on the fish pond, and even the center of the fish pond has floe ice, which has gradually shown signs of freezing.

On the endless sea, the fleet had been traveling south for several months, the weather turned from hot to cold, and then from cold to hot, and the 'dragon god' and his party did not know how far they had traveled, and they did not know how many islands they had encountered, and because of the large number of people they could not settle down, finally on this day a piece of land appeared at the end of the boundless sea, a land large enough to be seen in sight.

"It's ...... North Household South Wilderness?" Liu Feng looked at the land road.

Legend has it that the country of the north is in the extreme south, and its sea area is frozen all year round, and the climate here is warm and moist, and it is obviously not the north household. It was Xia Zhongyuan who spoke.

"It doesn't matter, the North Door is no longer testable, since everyone likes the name of the North Door, from now on this place to the south will be collectively called the North Door, this piece of heaven and earth is opened by you, and from then on you are the master of this piece of heaven and earth. "'Dragon God' said.

"We would like to worship the 'Dragon God' as the emperor. I don't know who started it, and the people followed suit.

The dragon god smiled: "Excuse me, this kind of drudgery will be taken care of by the Central Plains, I still have one more thing to do." ”

The crowd even claimed that it was.

After another half a day, the people came ashore by boat. Half a month later, when everything is settled, the 'Dragon God' set up a lonely boat to the north, went to sea again, traveled for three days, and saw a small island, and the 'Dragon God' stopped on the island. The 'Dragon God' jumped into the air, the internal force made the power of the sea, and the monstrous waves suddenly rolled up layer by layer, and the 'Dragon God' stepped on the end of the waves, laughing loudly, the feeling of being lost for a long time, no longer need to suppress the power, and raising the hand and the foot is the power of ten thousand jun.

"The legendary supernatural power of the 'Six Qi Dragon Resisting Hand', let me see what you are capable of surpassing my Heavenly Determination. The 'dragon god' muttered to himself, his eyes closed, and his mood turned ...... abruptly.
