A New Character Every Month

At this time, the two little girls were wearing thick brocade hats and mink fur, and they were hiding behind a half-meter-high "snow wall" piled up by white snow.

Beside them, there were more than a dozen already-made snowballs.

The two sides came and threw snowballs back and forth, which was not right.

Lin Zian's position is a bit awkward, right in the middle of the battle between the two sides.

It's not that he wants to lie here, as early as when Xiao Ke Xiaoyi was still in the house, he was lying on the wicker chair.

But obviously this courtyard is not small, but the two little girls took him as the middle line and separated to one side.

"Xiao Ke, come out, what's the use of hiding behind."

Xiaoyi put her hands on her waist and said.

"I do not!"

Xiao Ke quietly picked up a snowball, then suddenly stood up.

"watch out!"

Accompanied by Xiao Ke's tender voice, a fist-sized snowball hit Lin Zian's face.

The snowball broke instantly, splashing snowflakes all over his face.

Lin Zian opened his eyes helplessly, and looked over: "Xiao Ke..."

"Uncle."

Xiao Ke put her hands in front of her body, lowered her head pitifully and said, "I didn't do it on purpose."

Lin Zi'an was expressionless: "You said the same thing the last two times."

Xiaoyi's low laughter came from the side.

"Forget it, let's play, I'll go see your princess."

Lin Zian sighed, got up and walked into the house.

Xiao Ke's soft voice came from behind: "It's over, it's over, my uncle won't be angry."

"Anxin, uncle is not the kind of narrow-minded person."

Xiao Yi replied.

The corner of Lin Zian's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to pat the snowflakes on his head.

It seems that the wings of these two little girls have hardened, it is time to find an opportunity to let them know why the flowers are so red.

Inside the house, Zhou Yunhan was dressed in white fox fur.

The heavy clothes not only did not conceal her beauty, but added a touch of beauty.

Only watching from a distance, not playing around, was Lin Zian's only thought at this time.

now.

She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, she didn't notice Lin Zian who stepped into the door.

Lin Zian approached quietly, sat on the chair next to her, and said nothing.

This is Zhou Yunhan's state at work. Once she encounters something difficult to deal with, she will concentrate on finding a solution.

Attention to the outside world will also be reduced.

Of course, this reduction is reflected in acquaintances. If it is a stranger, the vigilance is no different from usual.

It took more than ten minutes for Zhou Yunhan to wake up from this state.

Back at Tsuji, she found Lin Zian who was sitting next to her, and asked in surprise, "When did the official come?"

"Just now."

Lin Zian smiled and said: "My lady, if there is something bothering you, why not talk to your husband, maybe you can give me some ideas."

Zhou Yunhan was already familiar with Lin Zian's affectionate title, so he said the matter calmly.

After talking about it, Lin Zian also understood why she was more worried in recent days.

In the Zhou family's fiefdom, due to the arrival of winter more than two months earlier.

Due to unpreparedness, the sudden drop in temperature caused the destruction of many crops in the fief, which led to a sharp rise in prices in the city.

Some merchants even started hoarding food, completely disregarding the life and death of civilians, just wanting to make more profits.

Although there are many things in this world that are relatively advanced because of profound strength.

But this kind of advancement can only be enjoyed by less than one percent of the people, and very few people are really using it for the people.

The remaining 90.00% nine people live no differently from ordinary ancient people.

In ancient times, food was the most lacking. Once any natural disaster occurred, many refugees would often appear.

Many people work hard for a day, but at most they can only eat a few bites of coarse grains and light meals for themselves or their families.

Even during the holidays, it takes careful planning to buy a bolt of inferior cloth for making clothes, let alone other things.

This means that once the price of food rises, many people can't even hope to eat enough.

This leads to some vicious circles, which may make some civilians start to take risks, or sell their children and daughters.

Chapter 190

Throughout the ages, every time there is a famine, with the common people unable to eat or even starve to death, there will always be some landlords and merchants who make a lot of money.

Therefore, the most effective solution to this kind of famine is nothing more than one.

"Fight local tyrants"!

Simple and clear, effective and fast.

As for increasing the yield of crops, the cycle is really too long, and it is far from being able to quench thirst.

Of course, Lin Zian just casually mentioned the method he read from the book, and added some hearsay methods, the specific method depends on Zhou Yunhan.

Although he has a lot of life experiences, most of the time he just fights alone, and he has no experience with these facts.

Although the knowledge is relatively advanced, but as the saying goes, interlacing is like a mountain, and when it comes to a certain matter, I am afraid that it is not as good as an ordinary official.

For this reason, Lin Zian only hated that he read so few books.

Obviously there are so many solutions in the main world, but because I haven't read them, I can give general opinions instead of specific solutions.

at this time.

Xu's grain store.

In response to the rise in food prices in the past few days, countless people have flocked to the streets to buy food for storage.

As the largest grain stores in the city, Xu's Grain Store had dozens of people waiting to buy them.

"Get out, get out, there's no more rice!"

Suddenly there was a scolding sound from the shopkeeper in the grain store.

Immediately a group of people were driven out, and the shopkeeper hung a wooden sign outside the door.

"The rice is sold out!"

A literate person read the words on the card, causing an uproar.

"Nonsense, I looked inside just now, not to mention that there are still rice in the warehouse behind you, even there are hundreds of stones in the store, how can it be sold out?"

"Is your Xu family trying to take the opportunity to drive up the price of rice?"

Someone questioned.

"Are you the shopkeeper, or am I the shopkeeper? When I say it's sold out, it's sold out!"

The shopkeeper looked contemptuous.

Immediately, several people stood up and wanted to refute.

However, he saw a big man standing behind the shopkeeper, with an imposing profound strength faintly revealing from his body, which immediately suppressed everyone's condemnation.

"Xu's grain shop is out of rice. If you want to buy it, go to other grain shops."

As the shopkeeper said, he closed the two thick doors, completely cutting off the eyes and hopes of everyone outside.

Many people who didn't buy rice slumped on the ground, their eyes revealing despair.

Now there are only a few grain shops selling rice in the city.

But the price has tripled.

Xu Family Mansion.

Master Xu looked at the housekeeper and asked, "How is the matter handled?"

"Patriarch, don't worry, all the grain shops in our city have already put up the sell-out sign. After two months, we will release this batch of rice. By then, the profit will definitely be at least this amount."

The butler said, holding out a hand.

"well done."

Patriarch Xu nodded, and said again: "What about the fertile fields outside the city?"

The housekeeper smiled again: "I have ordered people to investigate the owners of most of the fertile land in advance, and confirmed thousands of acres of fertile land. After only one month, I can exchange the most fertile land with the least amount of silver."

"Haha."

Xu Patriarch smiled and said, "This time it's really a blessing in disguise."

......

Two days later.

In a restaurant box.

Zhao Mingde was drinking warm wine with a group of rich and noble sons.

"What the hell is this weather!"
