Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed...

Of these two people, one is the chief internal supervisor who helps the emperor stabilize the court.

He is also the boss of the martial arts eunuchs!

One is one of the big guys who helps the emperor develop technology.

He is also the son of Wang Zheng, the top leader of the Ming Dynasty Heavy Equipment Bureau!

Both were royalists.

The coincidence of interests brought the two people together naturally.

This is the gentleman's party.

As for villains who seek to profit from the party, even if it is said that they are circulating, they are just a small family with selfish interests!

man!

Living in the world, what your parents give you is the head on your neck.

Don’t look at what others say, but look at what he does!

Reputation is in the history books, and those who can leave a mark in history are not necessarily loyal ministers...

There must be vested interests behind it!

Letting someone else take over your mind and saying it lightly is a shame for your parents.

If you say it harshly, you are a fool.

Human beings are advanced creatures. With the current situation of complexity and multi-facetedness, humans cannot be reduced to one-sided pieces of paper!

Distinguish gentlemen and villains from the perspective of interests, distinguish loyal and traitors from the perspective of the country...

This is the eternal correctness!

……

cold.

This early winter was extremely cold.

Especially in the north of Qinling Mountains, the cold cotton-padded clothes seem to have turned into ice cubes, as if they cannot provide people with any warmth.

The Qinling Mountains, which blocked the cold air from going south, kept all the severe cold from the north at the foot of the mountain.

Wrapped in silver, ice hangs down three feet.

Ice skates hang on the green pines, as if God is about to hold a grand ice and snow sculpture festival.

The top of the mountain in the distance has been changed into silver.

There are green pine branches on both sides of the road and white snow.

This was placed three days ago.

Even though the sun was shining brightly yesterday, at noon, it was so hot that people wanted to take off their cotton-padded clothes.

The snow has never melted away.

It's like waiting for something.

Sure enough, when I woke up early this morning, the sky changed.

It was incredibly hot yesterday, but today it’s freezing!

The wind from the steep mountain blew against my body like a knife.

The gray sky appears dark yellow.

Experienced old people know that this is a sign of another blizzard.

The proverb goes:

"Snow looks at snow, in the second half of the moon."

If there is snow in the front field, it will not melt for a long time, and it will still exist even on days when the sun is shining brightly.

That means there will definitely be another blizzard within half a month.

Also:

"People are sick when they are yellow, and there is snow when the sky is yellow."

If a person's face suddenly turns sallow, it means that the person is sick.

And if the sky in winter suddenly turns yellow and misty, it’s like a sandstorm——

That means it's going to snow soon.

It will also be - the north wind will blow up overnight, and there will be a heavy snowstorm with white snow all over the place!

On the mountain trails in the deep mountains and old forests, the snow has not completely melted.

“Creak!

Creak! "

A group of government officials were walking on the mountain road.

Escorting a middle-aged man on a difficult trek.

The crunching sound of the snow being trampled was clearly audible.

The man was very thin and not tall.

He is not wearing official uniform and has a dark face. The typical characteristics of southern Fujian people can be seen at a glance.

It was Chen Ding.

The father of Chen Jinnan, a famous figure in history.

Chen Ding wrapped himself in the sheepskin jacket.

Looking up to the sky and sighing:

“It’s going to snow again!

But I don’t know how many people who have no food and clothing will suffer from cold and hunger..."

The previous blizzard has not yet melted, and the next blizzard is coming again...

I don’t know how many people will suffer disaster!

Chen Ding felt very heavy in his heart.

As Bailihou appointed by the imperial court.

Chen Ding, who serves as the magistrate of Song County in Henan Prefecture (Luoyang), was organized by the emperor before his appointment and returned from a collective visit to Longzhou. When the weather gets cold, his favorite thing to wear is this sheepskin jacket.

This was given to him by a Mongolian herdsman when he was inspecting Longzhou.

Although a year has passed, Chen Ding still remembers what the old man said to him——

"Your Excellency, we are just small herdsmen. The big men above are beating us up, but it's not the prairie people like us and the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty who are suffering.

Feeling better today!

Your Majesty's grandfather took over the entire grassland and made peace with the chiefs.

Only ordinary people like us have a way to survive!

This is great news!

This is a great benefactor to the grassland people!

Sir, you are the emperor's grandpa's official, and you are also our great benefactor.

We want to thank you!

The little old man has nothing valuable. This is a leather jacket made by skinning the best ewe in the family.

The little old man gives this to you, the eldest man. I just hope that our two families will never fight again in the future..."

No war...

It is the simplest wish of the common people.

After repeated beatings, it was the big boss above who benefited.

Those who suffer are always the ordinary people at the bottom.

This is the heart of the people.

After Chen Ding followed Zheng Sen to the capital of Han Dynasty, he was appointed by the emperor as the magistrate of Song County.

The position is not high, but for a person like him with a Jinshi background, it is just right.

After coming to Henan Prefecture and taking office, he used his feet to visit every village under his rule.

Song County is a mountainous area.

It is located at the northern foot of Funiu Mountain, in the deep mountains and old forests between Waifang Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain.

It got its name because there is a ridge of Songshan Mountain in the territory.

Surrounded by three mountains, Song County is a mountainous area within a mountainous area!

Song County is a miserable place. Less than 0.5% of the entire county is flat and can be farmed.

If there are many and big mountains, people will suffer.

Since this autumn, there have been continuous heavy rains.

The small amount of land in Song County was even more devastated.

This autumn, there is almost no harvest.

(In 1645, due to the great changes in Yi Ding during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, almost everyone’s focus was on the military.

Few people paid attention to the widespread floods in Jiangbei in the autumn of this year, and no one even noticed that in the winter of this year, heavy snow disasters broke out along the Qinling Mountains.

During this period in the early Qing Dynasty, due to the brutal killings by the Qing army, the impact of the environment on human beings was not reflected.

However, the early decades of the Qing Dynasty were indeed a time of frequent disasters.

Floods, droughts, locust plagues, plagues... were the main theme of the early Qing Dynasty.

Of course, in the face of the large-scale massacre by the Qing army, the population lost was minimal. )

……

Chen Ding is going to a small mountain village, a small mountain village located deep in the mountains.

——Checun Town, Dayangou Village.

It is next to Guanmao Mountain and close to Panxugou and Wolong Valley.

It is a typical small mountain village in Song County.

Seeing the heavy snow coming, Chen Ding could not sleep peacefully.

In the past few days, he has been non-stop inspecting the dilapidated mountainous villages he marked in his notebook.

This is his third time coming to Dayangou Village.

In other words, Chen Ding's feet have already visited all the villages in Song County more than twice!
