Chapter 301 The snow stopped
However, just when he was halfway through writing, there was a commotion outside, interrupting his thoughts.
"What happened?" Qiao Anbang put down his pen and asked loudly.
Upon hearing the noise, Lieutenant General Li hurried into the tent, with a look of surprise on his face, and replied breathlessly: "General, the snow... the snow has stopped!"
Qiao Anbang's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say? The snow stopped?"
There was shock and confusion in his voice.
This news was so unexpected that he could hardly believe it for a moment.
According to Yucheng's weather in previous years, it is snowing now and it is impossible for it to stop.
Without paying attention to the half-written letter whose ink had not yet dried, he quickly put down his pen and strode out of the tent.
The snow outside had stopped as expected.
Everywhere you look, it is still a vast white world. Whether it is the nearby tents or the distant mountains, they are all covered with thick snow, just like a fairy tale world clad in silver.
However, unlike before, the biting cold wind disappeared without a trace.
The snowflakes have stopped falling, and looking up at the sky, you can even glimpse a few rays of warm sunlight shining through the clouds.
In the past, when I was in the vast snow, in addition to the sharp cold and the biting wind, there was always a gloomy and cold feeling deep in my heart.
It seemed as if the air around was filled with a hint of chill, making people feel cold to the bone.
But now, this eerie and cold feeling is gone.
Although there was still a hint of coolness on the surface of the body, the chilly feeling that penetrated deep into the bone marrow had disappeared.
A strange feeling surged in Qiao Anbang's heart. This sudden change was too bizarre.
He couldn't help but think of the equally mysterious person—Yu Youyou!
She only appeared briefly for half a day, but she easily resolved Fang Yuan's huge hidden danger and solved the difficult problem caused by it.
The seedlings in the wooden shed have now grown as tall as a human calf and are growing vigorously.
Those who knew about this in the military camp were all amazed and regarded these seedlings as rare treasures.
They are like symbols of hope, bringing people endless expectations and joy.
In their eyes, even if these crops did not produce many abundant fruits, these seedlings and leaves alone would be enough for the brothers to enjoy for a long time.
After all, in a place like Yucheng, it is not easy to see such lush, green and mouth-watering vegetables.
Lieutenant General Li hesitated for a moment and then asked, "General, could it be that..."
Qiao Anbang quickly made a pause gesture and glanced back at him.
Just this one glance made Lieutenant General Li become serious.
"The general understands!"
Qiao Anbang stood outside the tent for a while, then turned around and returned to the tent.
He continued writing letters, completing the unfinished parts.
However, this time, there was something new added to the content of the letter.
……
At the same time, in Yucheng.
The first person to notice the change in weather was the officer on duty at the yamen.
The climate of Yucheng is very special. It does not have four distinct seasons like other places.
There are three cold winters here in a year.
Moreover, out of the twelve hours of a day, ten of them are in the evening or at night.
Therefore, ordinary people would not go out easily unless they had no other choice.
Even the government office was the same, only opening for two hours a day as a pretense, and keeping its doors tightly closed the rest of the time.
Except for the two hours when the gate is open, special guards will be arranged for the remaining hours, for fear that someone will report to the authorities and there will be no one in the yamen.
As soon as the snow stopped, the yamen runner on duty notified the county magistrate.
The county magistrate took a look and found that it was indeed the case.
He immediately reminded them to watch the weather carefully to see if it had improved.
Later we found that the snow and wind had stopped, and the weather was slowly warming up.
The excited county magistrate immediately wrote a letter to the Shenwu Army stationed outside the city.
For the county magistrate, heavy snow was flying all over the sky, the world was covered in white, and the people were all hiding in their houses and dared not go out. Was this a good thing?
In a sense, this is indeed a good thing, because if the people do not go out, many things will be reduced, the government office will be quiet, and the county magistrate will naturally have less time to work.
However, looking at it from another perspective, this is not entirely a good thing.
The severe cold weather prevented people from going out to earn a living and left them with no source of food.
The coldest period of each year is approximately from October of the previous year to March of the following year. During this full six months, countless people lose their lives due to hunger or cold.
Without exception, they either starved to death or froze to death.
Those who have the means will choose to leave Yucheng when the climate is warmer and look for other ways to survive.
This situation made the situation even worse, causing the population of Yucheng to drop sharply year by year.
Yucheng used to be a small border town located in a remote area, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. People lived a simple and plain life here, without too many cumbersome and harsh rules and restrictions.
Because of this, many people are attracted to settle here, seeking a quiet and peaceful life.
However, with the passage of time, Yucheng has become cold and freezing, with an extremely harsh climate, making it extremely unsuitable for farming.
As time went on, the population dwindled and the ways people could make a living became increasingly limited.
For the official serving as the magistrate of Yucheng County, such a situation was undoubtedly an extremely difficult matter.
All the previous Yucheng County Magistrates had some deep or shallow connection with the Qiao Family of the Dingguo Mansion, so every County Magistrate could be regarded as a good official who performed his duties conscientiously.
Unfortunately, faced with the real difficulties caused by such a harsh natural environment, they are helpless and can do nothing.
Although these successive Yucheng county magistrates hardly made any major mistakes during their administration, they also failed to achieve any remarkable achievements. Their political achievements were like a calm lake, mediocre.
If the climate in Yucheng changes, it will undoubtedly be great news for everyone.
At this moment, Zhang and his group, who were on the cliff, were also informed by the Phoenix Servant that the snow outside had stopped.
Several people walked out of the hut one after another, and it was indeed true.
Zhang grew up here and has experienced several cold winters.
I know it's November now, and it's the time when it snows heavily.
It was still freezing cold when I went out in the morning.
How come it's only been half a day, and the wind and snow have stopped?
Even the exposed skin can clearly feel the different temperature.
Others are just surprised.
Only Zhang was shocked: "It really stopped?!"
