In the cold winter, the snow is flying, the first heavy snow after entering the wax moon has been raised, overnight, the whole Liang country is in the snow, the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles, the silver is wrapped, the thick snow is spread on the ground A thick layer, step in, can not reach the calf, this big

The snow came suddenly, and there was no preparation at all!

In Dongyan County, a small village, a little girl who looked to be eight or nine years old was walking on the snow in a shabby cotton jacket, wearing cloth shoes under her feet, but they were already torn, and her big thumb was leaking out, stepping on the snow, and the white snow directly covered the little girl's calves

Stomach, melting snow has soaked cloth shoes and trouser legs, the weather is very cold, the cold wind blows on the face, like a knife cut!

The little girl walked in the snow, leaving a line of footprints on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, holding some dry branches that had been picked up and some wet by the snow, and a small face was black, as if it had not been washed for many days, and only a pair of big eyes could be seen black

, like obsidian!

A pair of small hands are red from the cold, and the lips are also a little purple, because the weather is too cold, and the cold is to the bone!

"Mother, mother, Xiaoya is back!" Ten minutes later, the little girl walked into a small thatched hut in a small village with a branch in her arms, the thatched hut was simple, the windows were rotten, and there was ventilation everywhere, there was a fire pit in the thatched hut, next to the fire pit, a bed was placed, and a woman was motionless

Lying on it moving, covered with a thin quilt!!

"Mother, mother!" The little girl called the woman on the bed twice, and found that the woman did not speak, so she walked to the fire pit with a dry branch, and began to make a fire while cutting off the small senses: "Mother, wait a minute, Xiaoya found a dry branch and started a fire immediately."

When the fire rises, it won't be cold!"

The little girl's face was dirty, and her frozen red and purple hands kept scratching the dry branches, and while skillfully doing the work of burning the fire, she muttered to herself, as if to the woman on the bed, and to herself!

Originally, these jobs didn't need a little girl to do, but half a month ago, a sudden famine appeared in Dongyan County, in fact, when did the famine not happen, over the years, where in the Liang country will there not be some famine, but the real problem is

It was a plague disease that also appeared along with famine, and it swept through most of Dongyan County in a few days, and no one knew where the plague came from, but it was so fierce that it was already a little late for people to show it

"Mother, you wait, the fire will be fine soon, it won't be cold!"

Spread the small dry branches in the fire pit, and light them with a piece of rotten cloth, and put them on top of it, the little girl was very skillful, in fact, she had been doing this for more than ten days, and after the plague appeared, her father who went to the next county never returned, and her own mother was also

Infected with the plague, I couldn't afford to get sick, lying on the bed, the people in the village were almost gone, and there were only some old people who were infected or couldn't walk!

Soon, the fire was lit, from the small flames at the beginning, to the people behind the road, a warmth appeared in the house, driving away the chill of the deep mountains!

"Mother, mother, the fire is up!"

The little girl was a little happy, and went to the bedside and called the woman a few more times, but the woman did not say anything!

"Haven't you woken up yet, but Xiaoya is so hungry!" Seeing that the woman on the bed did not answer, the little girl couldn't help but touch her stomach, two days ago, everything that could be eaten in the house had been eaten, and she had been hungry for the past two days, and she couldn't stand it anymore so she looked for it outside

I took some wild vegetable roots and cooked them, but now, the snow is so thick that I can't find them!

"My mother said, you can sleep without being hungry, and I will sleep too!" stood in front of the bed for a while, and saw that the woman had not woken up yet, and the little girl also climbed into bed, turned into the broken quilt, and hugged the woman to sleep with her eyes closed, but after sleeping for a while, the little girl slept no matter what

No, no-

"Mother, Xiaoya is so hungry, when will you get up and take Xiaoya to find something to eat!"

"Mother, when will my father come back, Xiaoya misses him!"

"Mother, why are you so cold!"

After screaming a few times, without mentioning the woman's answer, the little girl got up and looked at her mother, the face of the woman who was somewhat covered by her hair had somehow become a little blue, her lips were also blue and purple, and her whole body was stiff and cold

Finding this, the little girl was scared all of a sudden!

The little girl didn't know why she would die after she had time to die, but she knew that when a person died, she would never wake up again, and her body would slowly rot

"Mother, mother, wake up!

"Don't leave Xiaoya, Xiaoya is afraid"

Sanchuan County, Chenxian County, Kelai Restaurant, the street outside was covered with a thick layer of snow, and on the second floor by the window, Ning Caichen and Tang Renjing sat opposite each other!

Ning Caichen was dressed in white, with a white fur coat draped over his shoulders, and Tang Renjing was also dressed in civilian clothes, not wearing the official mansion of the past!

"Your business here is getting better and better" Tang Renjing looked at the endless stream of guests around him and drank another glass of wine!

"It's good to drink!" After drinking, Tang Renjing said: "After drinking your wine, it will be difficult for other wines to eat in the future!"

"If Lord Tang likes it, I'll let Xiao Er give you a few jars back later, of course, the money still has to be given, otherwise people will say that I didn't bribe adults, I don't care, but it's not good to ruin other people's reputation!" Ning Caichen smiled and gave himself and Tang Renjingyi

The man poured a cup and spoke!

"You kid, being stingy is being stingy, and you have to find reasons for yourself. Tang Renjing scolded with a smile!

"I'm thinking about Lord Tang, the wine is small, but my sin will be great if I ruin my reputation as an adult!"

Ning Caichen drank a glass of himself, smiling, this restaurant was ordered by him more than a month ago, and now it has become a famous restaurant in Chenxian County, the most important thing is that Ning Caichen's memory of the earth has played a great role, and he has drunk the wine of this world once, which is particularly strong

, and there is a kind of astringency, like the later work was not handled well, fortunately, he had some understanding of the principle of winemaking in his previous life, and it was not difficult, and he even did it himself, and he couldn't get the famous wine, and he could still get it with ordinary rice wine and the like!

The principle is almost the same, the newly brewed one was named Wuliangye by Ning Caichen, because it was brewed with grain, and it directly stole the well-known brand of the previous life, and because of Wuliangye, the reputation of the guest restaurant is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting better and better!

"Recently, I saw that Lord Tang frowned, what was the trouble. ”

"Hmm!" Saying this, Tang Renjing's face was a little heavy: "Recently, there have been a lot of displaced people from Dongyan County outside the city, and I heard that there was a plague over there, and most of Dongyan County was affected!"

"You mean those homeless people outside the city!" Ning Caichen thoughtfully!

"What else could there be. Speaking of this, Tang Renjing sighed: "It's difficult!"

It's difficult, of course it's difficult, at least tens of thousands of displaced people have gathered outside the city, and it's not going to enter the city, it's not going to the city, and Chenxian is just a small county town, so many displaced people are entering the city, hungry and cold, God knows what kind of disaster will be born.

"But there is a countermeasure, if these people are kept out of the city for a long time, I am afraid that there will be riots, and speaking of which, these people are also pitiful."

"I don't know. Tang Renjing shook his head: "I have already reported this matter to the imperial court ten days ago, but"

But there was no response. Ning Caichen said: "Now that the court is in chaos, those people in the court may not care too much about these things." ”

Tang Renjing didn't speak, even Ning Caichen, an outsider, could see it clearly, he was not a stupid person, and he was in the officialdom, how could he not know the things in the court, King Liang was mediocre, so happy, but he had no talent and no virtue, and he listened to slander, so that today's Liang State

The people are not able to make a living, and chaos is rampant.

"Lord Tang, a Great Xia, the inside is decaying, what will happen" Ning Caichen said again.

"Crumbling. ”

"yes, crumbling, if the last pillar falls. ”

Will collapse Tang Renjing said instinctively in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back raw, and glanced at Ning Caichen with a shocked look, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, it was because of his cleverness that he understood what Ning Caichen meant, but it was for him to have his forehead

A cold sweat broke out.

The collapse of the building is a great contradiction.

"Water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats, this time the Dongyan plague, if the imperial court does not deal with it well, I am afraid that the negative impact of the long-term will break out. ”

Ning Caichen said again, but Tang Renjing didn't answer, because it was a little scary!

"My lord, my lord, no, those people outside the city have rioted. ”

At that moment, an official rushed in.
