Establish diplomatic relations with another world

In the third month of the snow season, the wind and snow are already very heavy. In the violent snowstorm, the snow covered the mountains and plains has already covered the chest. loss.

In this season in the north, the land has long been frozen into lumps of ice, and even with a hundred and twenty cents of effort, only a white mark can be left on it, making planting impossible.People can only rely on the stock in the warehouse to survive.

Wealthier families have two meals a day, one dry and one dilute, and some pickled vegetables, and some minced meat every [-] to [-] days, which is something that makes people jealous.The poorer families eat one meal a day, and the food is mixed with water to eat half full-the little food in the warehouse has to be kept for the winter!

Children are not allowed to run around. Firstly, they are afraid of freezing, and secondly, if they move a lot, they will consume more and eat more. Where can they get food for them now?

There is only one purpose left for all activities in winter, to live!

But even so, living is still a difficult thing.

There are too many children in the family, and the parents cannot afford to support them.The elderly are in poor health, and the younger generation cannot see a doctor for them.In the slave shed, the slaves were so hungry that they collapsed on the ground, but no one came to help them.

More old, weak, sick and disabled, after feeling that they were burdened by their families, secretly left home in the dark and walked into the snowstorm...

On such a day, the eldest son of Li Du held a dinner party for his confidantes, senior officials of Li Du whom he had befriended, and other officials from his affiliated cities.

That night, twenty tables were opened for the banquet, the tables were filled with wine and meat, beautiful dancers danced beautifully, and the sound of music filled the sky of the mansion, and it didn't stop all night long!

The next day, Du Sheng came to ask for an interview, and begged the eldest son in charge of agricultural affairs to allocate this year's payment for Yongcheng Weapons - even [-]% is fine!

The concierge ruthlessly threw the post that Du Sheng handed over to the table next to him: "When our young master wakes up, I will hand this over to him!"

Du Sheng still maintained a smiling face: "My little brother, it's convenient." While speaking, his adjutant had already handed over a purse.

The concierge accepted it unceremoniously, but his attitude was still arrogant: "Our young master had a banquet last night, how can we bother you now? Do you understand the rules? I have said that I will hand it in to you."

Du Sheng was furious in his heart, and his face was only distressed: "Yes, yes, we are not, I never thought of this... It is true that we have stayed in Li Du for nearly a month. To the eldest son..."

Before he finished speaking, the concierge raised his eyebrows and shouted sharply: "What's the matter, are you dissatisfied because you haven't seen it a few times?" He grabbed the post and threw it in front of Du Sheng, "I don't like to come here. Just don't come here, just get away, what do you think this is, and you can act wildly?"

Du Sheng looked at the greeting card that hit him and fell to the ground, and there was a stern look in his eyes. His adjutant could not control his temper and wanted to rush up, but he stopped him.

"In this case, let's come again next time." Du Sheng picked up the greeting card as if he had no temper, smiled at the concierge, and pulled the adjutant who was still aggrieved and turned away.

From a distance, someone could be heard talking to the concierge: "You can't do this well..."

The concierge said arrogantly: "What are you afraid of, the poor people in Yongcheng have the nerve to come here..."

The adjutant's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he turned around to rush back to beat him up. Du Sheng grabbed his arm tightly: "Don't make trouble, let's go!"

But the adjutant couldn't calm down, and when he returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to say angrily, "My lord, that little man and dog bully us so much, why do we put up with him?"

At this moment, Du Sheng's face was not as gentle as usual, it was cold, and he said coldly: "Can't bear it? You go and beat him up? Then the people from the son's mansion will come out and beat you up again, and I have to go and talk to the eldest son Pleading? Gong Zilin is not generous, can our Yongcheng envoy from Li Du stay here?"

The adjutant blurted out: "If you don't wait, don't wait, who cares? Isn't it just the little food, we are still short of food?"

Before the words finished, Du Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he stared at him coldly like a knife: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

The adjutant broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, knowing that he was wrong, he lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

After all, it is his confidant who has been with him for many years, Du Sheng said in a deep voice: "If you can't control your mouth anymore, get the hell out of Yongcheng! I can't keep you by my side!"

The adjutant bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I know I shouldn't talk nonsense, I dare not mention it anymore!"

Du Sheng was still unhappy, and his face eased a little: "It is not easy for us Yongcheng to have today, I don't want to see the situation in front of us be ruined because of your talk!" Speaking of this, his voice became stern: "In previous years we Don’t you get less trouble? Why can’t you bear it this year? Don’t rely on a little improvement now to get up, now is not the time yet!”

The adjutant nodded again and again and said: "I understand, I must be cautious in my words and deeds in the future!"

Only then did Du Sheng feel that it was almost done, and asked him to leave, but the adjutant refused to leave, and dawdled: "My lord, you asked me to post a message to those small town envoys to treat guests to dinner, you are planning...to form an alliance with them ?”

Du Sheng swung the knife in his eyes, and without opening his mouth, the adjutant shut his mouth and ran away in desperation.

The room became quiet, and Du Sheng sat on a chair, recalling what he saw in Li Du during this period.

Even if it is as rich as Li Du, there are still ordinary people in the western district who live in precarity. Li Du has a lot of fertile land, and the grain produced is enough for the people in the city to live, but most of the farmland is occupied by nobles. .

Li Du is still like this, and life in the surrounding small towns is even more difficult.

The old city lord is already exhausted, and the heir, Zilin, has become more complacent recently. He is extravagant and dissipated, and even allows his subordinates to run amok. As far as Du Sheng knows, there are many people who secretly worry about their future life!

Bai Ye was right, this is their best chance!

City Lord Li may not be able to survive this winter, if he misses this time, he will not know when the next time will be!

Thinking of the weapons piled up in the Yongcheng city defense warehouse and the granary full of grain, Du Sheng gritted his teeth.

do my best!

The power of hybrid rice is infinite. As an old city that has been passed down for hundreds of years, Yongcheng has its own extensive land, and with the blessing of chemical fertilizers, Yongcheng ushered in a bumper harvest this year.

The common people can not only eat enough and wear warm clothes every day, but because of the previous assistance from the Bai people, they also have a warehouse of frozen meat, learned to grow bean sprouts, and built a small greenhouse. Eating green leafy vegetables is a beautiful life.

Yongcheng has never concealed its dealings with the Bai people. With these real benefits in front of them, the people quickly accepted their dissatisfaction with their dealings with the Bai people, and only three sticks of incense were dedicated to City Lord Du every day.

"If the city lord was not smart enough to trade with the Bai people, how could we have a good life today?" An old woman handed the rice cake in her hand to her little granddaughter, and urged her to be grateful.

The child didn't understand, and asked: "But before, didn't you say that the Bai people are all bad, and if you saw them, you should tell you immediately, and you should go to the Yamen to report?"

The old lady shook her head: "What kind of villains? They are all good things that the superiors are jealous of, and deliberately ruin their reputation! My old lady has lived most of her life without knowing that the Bai people were also a big city with a great reputation, compared to our Lidu. It’s much more prosperous, and Zhongdu wanted to annex Baicheng before, and there were several battles! Later, Baicheng was destroyed, and Zhongdu didn’t want to add insult to injury?”

The child seemed to understand, but the old man's daughter-in-law asked curiously: "Mom, I saw the Bai people on Yongxing Street before, they were very kind, and they didn't put on airs at all. Some of them were sold as slaves before. It's miserable. Could it be that all of these were done by Zhongdu? What kind of deep hatred?"

The old grandma shook her head: "I don't know, I just heard from my grandma that when she was a child, there was a war between Zhongdu and Baicheng. It's bad. As for why, I don't know. But Li Du sent a letter before, asking none of us to take in Bai people, and we have to report them when we see them!"

The common people don't understand politics, but they are simple. In the early years, the government said that the Bai people were bad people. They didn't feel it, didn't know each other, so naturally they wouldn't help.Now that they have truly received the favor of the Bai people, they sincerely regard the Bai people as their own.

Since you are one of your own, of course you have to rack your brains to defend your own family.

The old lady was categorical: "The Bai people are kind. They bullied Zhongdu so much and didn't beat them back. They just asked for some compensation. Zhongdu himself is not honest. He broke the city, so he didn't allow any city to help him, otherwise he would fight for Zhongdu. Enemies. The Bai people are scattered all over the way, and they are crying!"

Daughter-in-law nodded: "I heard that there were tens of thousands of people when the Bai Clan city was destroyed. If they were ruthless and captured a city, life would not be so difficult!"

After hearing this, the old lady nodded with great emotion: "Yes, the Bai people are kind!" She looked at the rice vat in the corner, which was now full of big white rice, enough for the whole family to eat until the beginning of spring.

"The Bai people are so kind!"

Such good grains were given to Yongcheng!

"The people in Zhongdu are really ruthless. There are tens of thousands of people. They force people to be slaves!" The old woman shook her head.

Naturally, Bai Ye didn't know what the people at the bottom of Yongcheng were thinking. He was now leading people to experiment with the newly arrived weapons.

In the purposely leveled training ground, even the blizzard and wind could not block the footsteps of the Bai fighters.Carrying equipment weighing twenty kilograms on their backs, they crawled on the ground, waiting for the movement of another "enemy" on the opposite side...
