Chapter 2050 people are hard

Wan Jiaojiao widened her eyes and asked, "Didn't it mean that the auspicious snow indicates a good harvest? Is it a good thing to snow in winter? Why...?"

“There is a limit for everything.”

Boss Zhang of the inn sighed and said, "This snow alone has been falling for half a month. People who have frozen to death outside the city are found every day. Not to mention the good harvest, what crops can grow in the fields now? They are all frozen to death."

"It is a good sign of auspicious snow in winter, but if there is continuous heavy snow, it is not auspicious snow, but a snow disaster or a disaster."

Boss Zhang's words made Li Chen frown suddenly.

When others encounter such heavy snow, at most they complain that it is hard to live a cold and difficult road.

But when it comes to Li Chen, he must consider whether heavy snow will form a real snow disaster. Once it forms a snow disaster, it will be a large-scale disaster with a positive and wide coverage.

This disaster is no less severe than drought or floods.

"How much land does my father have?" Li Chen asked.

Old Liu looked up at Li Chen and saw that he had no knowledge. He only felt that the young man in front of him was dressed in extraordinary clothes. The cloak made of fur from unknown animals was priceless. Facing the noble Li Chen, he replied with a restrained attitude: "I have two acres of three parts."

Li Chen nodded clearly.

It is not bad to own more than two acres of land.

"The harvest in the field is like this sweet potato?" Li Chen asked again.

Old Liu said bitterly: "It's all the same. I'm better. I snatched away the snow before. At that time, it was not yet fully mature. Many people were reluctant to take it. But they didn't know that the heavy snow all night was frozen. It was too late to grab it. Other people's houses were rotten in the fields, and I snatched some out of it."

"But these sprout and blacken, they can't be eaten anymore." Li Chen said.

When Old Liu heard this, his voice choked and said, "What? Farmers can only survive on these, right?"

Li Chen looked at the porridge and was a little more energetic. At this time, he was timidly pulling Lao Liu's legs and hiding beside him. He had a big head, a thin torso and a fiery limbs. This was an obvious symptom of malnutrition.

"Are all the people nearby like this?" Li Chen asked again.

This time the answer was Zhang Manager Zhang.

"It's almost the same, and there are even worse things. If the family can't get rid of the blame, they have to mortgage the land and ancestral property. After the mortgage, they can only go to beg for food."

During this question and answer process, Li Chen's brows became more and more tight.

He seemed to see the disaster created by a huge snow disaster spreading in the north of the Qin Empire.

"Did the government not take care of it?" Li Chen asked.

"Share you, why don't you?"

Mr. Liu's answer made Li Chen feel a little comforted, but the comfort had not yet fully risen. Mr. Liu continued: "We farmers did not have any experience in growing sweet potatoes for the first time. They only knew that it was not cold-resistant, but how cold-resistant it was, they didn't know. But the government officials knew that today's heavy snow would cause all the sweet potatoes to rot in the ground, so they collected the grain tax early, saying that the court was fighting and the treasury was empty, and today's harvest should be collected early."
