after being kidnapped by the general

This snow fell much later than last year.

Arriving late in Yuanli, I thought there would be no more snow disasters this year, but before the end of the year, the snow still fell.

They moved quickly and urgently, and within a short moment, the world was covered with a thin layer of white.

Yuanli stood in front of the window and looked at the heavy snow outside the window.

Outside, a servant shouted happily from time to time: "Heavy snow is coming!", "Auspicious snow heralds a good year", "Snow is finally here. I thought it wouldn't fall a year ago, and the farmers in the farm were dying of anxiety"...

Everyone is rejoicing at the heavy snowfall, and regards this heavy snowfall as an auspicious omen.Yuanli is a little worried.

Chu Hechao walked over from behind and looked at the heavy snow outside together, "Is this year?"

The weather forecast can only be updated tonight. Seeing the weather in the next seven days, Yuan Li shook his head, "We won't know until tomorrow."

Cold air blew from the window, carrying snowflakes and flying over the heads of the two of them.Chu Hechao closed the window and knocked off the snowflakes on himself and Yuanli, "Don't think too much, even this year, we are already prepared."

Yuan Li let out a foul breath, "Yes."

Yuanli hoped that the snow would stop soon, but this snow fell for a whole day, and it didn't stop before going to bed at night.

As soon as he opened his eyes the next morning, Yuanli felt a biting chill. He got up and took a look. The charcoal fire in the room had been extinguished, and his exhaled breath had turned into white mist.

He was shivering from the cold, and Chu Hechao also woke up. He wiped his face to wake up, put the quilt on Yuan Li, and got out of bed to get dressed.

He moved neatly, put on his underwear in a few strokes, and pondered while putting it on, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

"It's cooling down," Yuan Li curled up under the blanket, "Is it still snowing outside?"

It was cold last night, so Yuanli didn't let the servants wait.

Chu Hechao finally didn't have to turn out the window this time. He opened the door and looked at it, then nodded, "It's still going down."

Yuan Li quickly looked at the weather forecast, his heart sank.

The weather forecast has been updated, and the results are not optimistic. There will be heavy snow for the next seven days.

Coupled with today's sudden low temperature, it is already [-]-[-]% likely that there will be snow disasters this year.

Even if he no longer wanted to face the disaster, Yuanli had to be ready to face the snow disaster.

Fortunately, he did a lot of preparation in advance.Yuanli thought about the grain and coal in the warehouse, and felt at ease.

Chu Hechao went out to get some new charcoal, changed the charcoal in the charcoal basin, rubbed his hands together and said, "The water outside is freezing, the kitchen is boiling water now, you get dressed first and get up. It was put under the quilt at the end of the bed last night, it should still be warm, have you touched it?"

Yuanli took the clothes out of the quilt, nodded, "It's still hot after touching it."

Chu Hechao put Yuanli's fur clothes to roast beside the brazier, turned the brazier, some sparks flew out, and the fire burned vigorously.

Yuanli was wearing clothes, and there were five layers of winter clothes.He was tired from dressing, turned his head and saw that Chu Hechao was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his boots and roasting them on the brazier. While roasting, he turned around and looked at the soles of the shoes.

Chu Hechao was carefully looking at whether there were any slits on Yuanli's boots, and found that Yuanli was looking at him, so he said, "The snow outside is very thick, your boots are too thin, and they get wet after walking around. "

Yuan Li fastened his belt, leaned over and said, "Are your shoes wet?"

Stretching out his hand to touch it, Chu Hechao's shoe was indeed wet. Chu Hechao said nonchalantly, "It's okay."

Yuan Li frowned, got out of bed and looked through the box.In October, after the cotton-padded clothes and shoes were ready, some were sent to him, and Lin Tian put them in boxes.

After a while, Yuanli took out two pairs of cotton shoes and a cotton coat. Yuanli asked Chu Hechao to try them on. Chu Hechao put on the cotton shoes and took two steps. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuanli in surprise. Said: "Warm."

It's like getting into bed.

Yuanli asked him to try on the cotton-padded clothes again. As soon as the cotton-padded clothes were put on, Chu Hechao nodded, his eyes flashed with surprise, "These two things are good. Is this the effect of cotton?"

Yuan Li smiled and nodded.

"It's a good thing." After putting on the cotton padded clothes for a while, Chu Hechao was sweating from the heat. He touched the clothes on his body, "If the soldiers all have a set..."

No matter how cold the winter is, no one will freeze to death.

Yuan Li said grandly: "There is not so much cotton now, and the padded clothes that can be made can't be enough for each person. When there is enough cotton next year or the next year, I will let your soldiers have a set of padded clothes per person."

Chu Hechao smiled, "Lord Inspector is generous."

The two of them just chatted and laughed, then hurriedly washed up and finished their breakfast.After breakfast, Yuan Li called Wang Er and Wu Kai who were still resting in the mansion over.

The two have worked hard for a year, and as the year approaches, Yuanli should have allowed them to take a good rest, but things changed, and Yuanli had to take away their annual leave, and asked the two of them to take a group of people to the south of the city and the north of the city to check. , See if any people's houses have collapsed due to snow.

Wang Er and Wu Kai didn't complain at all, they simply left after receiving the order.

The servants in Prince Chu's mansion were also ordered to clean up the snow in the mansion in full swing.Outside the mansion, Yuanli also sent people to clear the snow on the road.

But the snow was too heavy, and the streets that had just been cleaned quickly piled up a thin layer. If it was in later generations, Yuanli could directly use industrial salt to melt the snow, but where did so much salt come from in ancient times? The snow can be cleared in time to prevent house collapse.

The captives who cleaned up the snow were also human beings, and Yuan Li was afraid that they would be damaged by freezing, so he asked them to take turns to sweep the snow in three shifts, and enough charcoal fire was given to the captive camp.

In the afternoon, Wang Er and Wu Kai led the team back and told Yuanli a piece of good news—there are no people in Ji County whose houses have collapsed due to heavy snow.

Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief, "You have to work hard for a few more days. The snow is too heavy, and I am worried that there will be problems."

Does the lord's words mean that the snow will continue to fall?

Wang Er and Wu Kai were puzzled, but they clasped their fists together.

At home, Liu Jixin and others also learned what Yuanli asked Wu Kai and Wang Er to do.

Guo Mao hurriedly came to the Liu Mansion to find Liu Jixin and Zheng Rong in the wind and snow. The three of them sat on the porch and sipped tea, watching the heavy snow that never stopped, and all kinds of thoughts surfaced in their hearts.

"Tell me," Zheng Rong couldn't help it first, he said cautiously, "Has the lord already anticipated this heavy snowfall, and also predicted that this heavy snowfall might cause a snow disaster?"

Liu Jixin was taken aback, "If this is the case, then the fact that the lord hoarded food and built a shelter earlier can explain it."

But...but is it really possible?

This time it wasn't that heavy rain, but a snow disaster with a larger scale and deeper damage.Can the protagonist calculate the time of heavy rain, how many days of heavy snow and the disaster it caused?

If it can be calculated, what kind of ghost and god method is this——

Liu Jixin broke out in a cold sweat unknowingly, and his heart was filled with unspeakable excitement and worry.

Will such a miracle really come a second time?It has only been snowing for two days, is it really going to be a disaster?

Liu Jixin really wanted to believe it, but he still harbored some hesitation in his heart.

This hesitation is not a distrust of Yuanli, but a hesitation about things that are too far beyond his own cognition.

Guo Mao had never seen Yuanli Zeng's miraculous calculation of rain. Facing the words of Zheng Rong and Liu Jixin, he smiled and said: "Your words are too exaggerated. How can it be raining and snowing in the sky? I am waiting for mortals." Can it be counted? Not to mention unforeseen disasters such as snow disasters and torrents. You are not from Youzhou, so you probably don’t know about it. Although the winter in Youzhou is cold, there has been no snow disaster in more than ten or twenty years. "

Zheng Rong said: "But you don't know, the Lord really..."

Liu Jixin stopped him, "Brother Guo, don't you think this snow will cause a snow disaster?"

A whistling cold wind came, Guo Mao quickly raised his sleeves to hide from the wind, and after the cold wind passed, he said: "Snow disaster can only happen after two days of snow."

"Since that's the case, what do you think of the lord hoarding food and building a shelter?" Liu Jixin asked.

"Naturally, the world is in chaos, wars are raging, and preparations are made for taking in refugees."

Guo Mao finished answering, smiled again, and said leisurely: "Brother Liu, I have wanted to talk to you about this for a long time. Our lord has already established a crown, is an adult, and even a high-ranking official He is the governor of Youzhou, Marquis of Yan Jun, General Fenwu, he is no longer the young man without a crown when you knew him."

"He has many under his command, he has more dignity, and he acts more decisively and calmly," Guo Mao watched Liu Jixin's expression gradually sinking into thought, and said softly, "You can no longer regard the lord as the lord when you first met."

Liu Jixin was speechless for a moment.

Guo Mao took a sip of hot tea to warm his body, and continued: "You have also experienced two masters, and you should know how rare your character is. Our meals in the Zhengshitang are specially cooked by the master, or three meals a day. You can count how many good wines, meats and rewards the lord has given me. Once you get something new, whether it is potatoes or cotton clothes, windmills or mandarin duck pots, you will give us a copy. I am too late , but these things are not lacking either. It’s all about the lord’s love for us, the lord is a corporal who cherishes talents, but we can’t go beyond the rules because of the lord’s love.”

Liu Ji gave a hard smile, "What you said is a bit profound."

"I also know that Brother Liu is doing it for the good of the lord, and I'm afraid that the lord will become arbitrary and won't listen to what we say," Guo Mao said bluntly, "but Brother Liu, just talking about the fact that the lord used his own money to hoard food, even if The food was damaged, does this have anything to do with you and me? Looking at the matter of stockpiling food, do you think it is right or wrong? As the Lord’s subordinates, since this matter does not affect the overall situation, why do you and I need to say more .”

Liu Jixin didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed, "I'm the one who was stunned. Brother Guo taught me a lesson."

Yuanli is indeed not the former Yuanli who has not yet established a crown and needs him to worry more about everything.

At this time, Yuanli has grown into a reliable and worthy protagonist.

Liu Jixin didn't say any more, but raised his hand to toast Guo Mao to express his gratitude.

For the next few days, the heavy snow never stopped.On the third day, houses in Ji County were already collapsed by heavy snow.

As the year approached, Yuanli's subordinates began to get busy. They came to Yuanli's study every day to discuss how to deal with the heavy snow.

Fortunately, because Yuanli had ordered the people to build up the strength of the houses and clear the heavy snow in time, the damage caused was not too great.

Seven days later, it was still dark.

Liu Jixin was fast asleep.

Suddenly there were eager footsteps and the sound of horseshoes outside, someone slammed on the door of Liu Jixin's room and said loudly: "Lord Liu, get up, Lord Inspector please!"

Liu Jixin woke up suddenly, put on his clothes, went to the door and opened a crack, "What happened?"

The people outside were Yuanli's own soldiers. At this time, their faces were serious, and they spoke anxiously: "There are disasters in the four counties of Guangyang, Changping, Jundu, and Anci! An avalanche occurred in the mountains on the north side of Ji County, and the three villages Buried under the snow! The disaster is imminent, please change your clothes quickly and go to the Chu Palace!"

After finishing speaking, the guard left quickly and continued to inform the others.In the room, Liu Jixin looked at his back and shuddered suddenly. The coldness rushed up from his back and woke him up for a moment.

It really, really snowstorm happened...

Liu Jixin took a deep breath, quickly changed his clothes with trembling hands, and hurried to the governor's mansion.

The sky was still dark, the horses slipped their hooves several times, the world was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the snow that had been cleared from the roadside was already as high as a person.

The more he looked, the more frightened Liu Jixin became. When he came to Yuanli's study, he saw Guo Mao who was also pale with panic.

Guo Mao was still in shock, his clothes were messed up, and his hair crown was not tied. He muttered to himself, "A snow disaster really happened, the snow disaster really came... How is this possible... Could it be that my lord really counted a snow disaster? gone?"

The emperor has no such ability...

Thinking about the time he spent storing grain in Yuanli, he had been building a shelter to stockpile grain since August—Guo Mao's scalp was numb, and his arms were covered with goose bumps in an instant.

That was August!A full four months in advance!

Who would believe such a thing?Who could have predicted that there would be such heavy snowfall for seven consecutive days in four months!

But their protagonist just did it.

Destiny... This is the person that destiny belongs to...

Guo Mao gasped, and suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Jixin with burning eyes.

The same frightened and complicated look flashed across the faces of the two advisers.

The troubled times have come, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty will collapse.

And their protagonist, could it be, could it be--the real dragon chosen by the gods? !
