The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 390 Winter Passes
After pondering for a moment, Ren Tian immediately called Lu Zhonglian.

"Lu Aiqing."

"Your Majesty summoned me, but is there something important?"

"Yes, this is the latest information obtained by the scouts."

Ren Tian handed the memorial to Lu Zhonglian, and Lu Zhonglian frowned slightly after reading it.

"There are many water thieves in the eastern waters, and there are more than a dozen of them. This one is the most powerful?"

"Yes."

"Looking at the map, it is not far from our new country. It is easy to surprise Linchuandong County along the river. In addition, our new country's navy has not yet formed and has little combat effectiveness. These water thieves are probably a serious problem for our new country. .”

Ren Tian nodded: "Yes, this is also what I am worried about. It is equivalent to the water area to the east being blocked. I called you to come over, but I had another idea."

He put his hands behind his back: "I want to recruit this water thief."

Lu Zhonglian was stunned for a while: "Your Majesty, recruit water thieves, water thieves are cunning and capricious, how can they recruit them?"

"Mr. Lu, this team of water thieves is different. The name of this team of water thieves is Jinfan. If I expected it to be correct, the leader of the water thieves is named Gan Ning. Although he is a water thief, he values ​​love and righteousness. , He is extremely brave, he is a unparalleled warrior, if he can surrender, our new national navy will take shape, and it will be just around the corner."

Gan Ning is undoubtedly a fierce general, and the commander of the navy is also very strong. In history, Gan Ning killed Ling Cao directly.

Lu Zhonglian pondered for a while; "Since this is the case, Your Majesty, I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it."

"It's okay, just do your best."

"Yes."

Lu Zhonglian also went down, but it would take some time to go to persuade him to surrender. The current weather of hail, wind and snow is not suitable for going out at all.

After Lu Zhong went down, Ren Tian released the memorial and stood up.

There was still howling hailstones outside, walking outside the window, crackling hailstones were still falling towards the ground.

……

The hailstorm lasted for ten days.

In the past ten days, all activities in Xinguo have basically been at a standstill, except for the defenders in Man County.

In each village, the doors are tightly closed. Fortunately, the territory of the new country is safe, and the harvest of the grain grown is good. Every household has stored a lot of grain, so that people will not starve to death, and there is also a lot of wood.

In ancient times, most of the rural areas worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. After a year of hard work, they stored a little grain to survive the winter. If the harvest was good, there would be some left over. If the harvest was not good, they would starve to death.

The vulnerability of the small peasant economy can be seen from this.

In addition, Xinguo and Longguo also signed a contract. Ren Tian and Kuangzhan Tianxia have also communicated. Coincidentally, so did I, and the two felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Fortunately, the river hadn't frozen over yet, so a large amount of timber was brought to Xinguo, unloaded in Shui County, and transported along official roads to various cities in Xinguo.

Some buildings within the city have been damaged by hail, and the livestock farms in Pingyuan County have also suffered serious casualties. Even if they were not killed by hail, some froze to death.

Ren Tian originally thought that the hailstorm would be over if it lasted for ten days, but it lasted for a full ten days and it still hasn't ended. It is estimated that there will be hail disasters throughout the winter.

A whole winter of hailstorms is too harsh.

And during winter, the consumption of resources such as food and wood really doubled.

Out of boredom, Nintendo could only open the player forum. As expected, the player forum was also discussing this matter.

"Natural disasters are too fierce, isn't this hail really non-stop?"

"Our country can't afford it. Some of the crops we planted are all destroyed, and we will spend money again next year."

"One year's harvest is too important. If there is no harvest, it will basically be over in such a winter."

"It's just hail. I haven't encountered other disasters. Floods, droughts, and locust plagues. Thinking about it makes me shudder."

"Is there any way to just let the hail keep falling?"

"Think of a way, if this continues, you won't have to pass this winter."

Ren Tian began to scroll through the posts, a few posts were still discussing dungeons, and a few posts were discussing Lu Bu.

At this moment, Ren Tian came across a post, "Methods to Prevent and Control Natural Disasters such as Hailstorms". Seeing this post, Ren Tian immediately clicked on it.

"This post mainly talks about the prevention and control of natural disasters. There are natural disasters in the game, but there are many corresponding solutions. The hail disaster this time actually didn't affect me very much."

As he said that, the landlord put up a picture, looking out from the imperial study room, it turned out to be just drizzle, not hail.

"As you can see, there is no hail in my country, it's just light rain. This level basically doesn't have much impact. Before me, hundreds of schools of thought chose Yin Yang and Five Elements, and then used the accumulated national luck to perform sacrifices. Then the hail damage was reduced to light rain."

Does this work too?
Ren Tian's expression was weird. In ancient times, there was also the talk of asking for rain, but in ancient times it was all about luck. In this game, it seems to use luck?

Soon Rentian also understood, after all, this game still has some mysterious elements, such as luck, witchcraft, etc., which are still acceptable.

But Nintendo doesn't plan to use it. One is that the country's luck is more important, and the country's luck is not much in Xinguo. The other is that there is no war now, and the effect of weakening the hail is not very great.

After watching for a while, he closed the player forum, and Ren An calmly waited for the winter to pass.

……

The whole winter seemed very long, and the new country fell into peace. In the white world, the city stood tall, but the reserve training of new soldiers was not stopped. Xiao He also went directly to Pingyuan County and became the prefect of Pingyuan County.

Another [-] consecutive days passed, and the non-stop hailstones finally stopped gradually, and the snowy winter was considered peaceful.

Winter is coming to an end, and the various affairs that have been interrupted will continue.

In the early dynasty, Ren Tian and the courtiers of the Xin Kingdom arranged an imperial decree on the reclamation of farmland, and at the same time, all the basic projects of the Xin Kingdom, such as road construction, water conservancy, and city infrastructure, were all accelerated.

At the same time, Man County.

Tian Dan stood at the top of the city, looking at the scene covered in silver in the distance. Although the sun was out in the sky, the weather was still extremely cold.

But finally, it was able to come out.

"Report, a barbarian army has been found in the north of the city and is marching towards the livestock farm."

"Send the order, the whole team is ready to go."

"Yes!"

All the soldiers from Man County assembled, and at the same time, a fast horse went straight from the official road to Lie County. The soldiers from Lie County, also led by a general, surrounded the livestock farm in the north.
