The cold wind was blowing, snowy, and the huge northern country turned into a white world overnight... With a "click", a house in Zhuo County was crushed by snow. Accompanied by women's crying and men's cursing, the world began to become noisy.

"It seems that it is Lao Fang's family..." The father leaned against the stove and shook his head, "Deran, get some charcoal in the woodshed."

"What's the point of being so cold?" Liu Tao murmured, but he still got up and walked towards the woodshed. Filial piety is the first priority, and such a cold weather cannot let my father go out in the cold wind.

The family is endless and not very rich. Maybe he is quite wealthy... But my father will always subsidize half of his income to the idle brother Liu Bei. Yes, this is a legendary figure who became the emperor, but what does this have to do with him, Liu Tao and Liu Deran?

When Liu Bei was the most developed, I don’t know if he had taken care of his brothers from Zhuo County. Do you still remember that Liu Yuanqi, who sponsored him since childhood, remembered that he, Liu Deran, who joined him in the sect of Master Lu?

Anyway, he did not see the subsequent records of Liu Deran in his history books. Maybe he passed away early, right?

"Is there any coal around Zhuo County?" Liu Deran tightened his fur coat, "Why didn't he make any preparations before?"

In the era without cotton, the north is inseparable from the fire. There is not even a hand stove in the huge home. After leaving the stove, the only thing I can rely on is the sheepskin coat. The style is different from the memory. The skin is inside and wool is outside. After all, there is no cotton, and sheepskin is inside and wool is outside. This will have better windproof and warmth.

He pushed open the wood-room, took a bundle of smaller ones in a pile of charcoal, and walked towards the main entrance tremblingly.

The Fang family is near its own home, and it is incomparable to the Liu family. The house we live in has been passed down for three generations, and it is "old". The sound just now is probably the beam collapsed.

"Brother Deran, are you here too?" As soon as he went out, he met his neighbor Lu Yan. The Lu family was originally a poor family, but this generation was developed at the beginning because Lu Zhi appeared in the family.

This person is Lu Zhi's eldest son, whose name is Canshan. There is no record in history. At least Liu Tao doesn't remember that there is such a person. Instead, Lu Yu, born last year, still has some impression. Perhaps, like Liu Deran, he is also a short-lived ghost, right?

"Canshan?" Seeing the visitor, Liu Tao hurried forward, "When he heard the sound, my father ordered me to take a bundle of charcoal."

"This is the big winter..." When Lu Yan heard Liu Tao's words, he sighed, that's all.

It is inconvenient in the middle of winter. If an ordinary place collapses, we can repair it together and it will be fine if we make do with it. If the main beam is broken, we have to spend money to go to the wood merchant and buy a suitable wood to come back.

"Yes... it's in the middle of winter..." Liu Tao just echoed.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them returned from the old Fang family. The situation in their house was not very good. It was indeed because the main beam was broken. The collapsed place just buried Mr. Fang. The neighbors took action together and dug out the old man, and the person had already died.

The key is that most of the house collapsed, the cold wind was bleak, and it became a problem to repair the capital. The youngest son of the Fang family was so cold that his face turned purple...

"The lives of the people are not easy." On the way back, Lu Yan sighed, "It's not surprising that he will rebel."

"Huh?" Liu Tao's ears shook and he immediately asked, "Canshan, what did you say just now? Who rebelled?!"

"Oh, that's it..." Lu Yan looked around and confirmed that there was no one, and then whispered, "My father wrote to him, saying that the Taiping Cultist Tang Zhou, told the Taiping Cultist plotting a rebellion. The court ordered the arrest of Taiping Cultists across the country, which seemed to force Zhang Jiao to rebel in advance. My father warned us to be careful, after all, the Taiping Cultist traitor may go north to enter Zhuo County."

Liu Tao looked shocked when he heard this, but his hands under the fur coat were secretly clenched.

A year ago, I knew that I had traveled to 183 AD and was afraid and at a loss for more than a month, and then spent half a month calming down. Then I spent a full ten months preparing for the future.

"What is the court planning to deal with it?" In order to further confirm, Liu Tao asked tentatively.

"I didn't say specifically, I just said that the Taiping scholars are now swarming in various states of the Han Dynasty, with the title of "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established" and the Yellow Turbans are used as the sign, with more than one million people. The existing troops of the court may not be able to be easily wiped out. If it is delayed, it is afraid that the local area will be decayed for too long. Even if these Yellow Turban thieves are wiped out, the states will be greatly damaged." Lu Yan sighed.

"Canshan, as you said, the imperial court lacks military strength, so will it be allowed to spontaneously form troops to resist, or even allow the good family to form militia to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves?" Liu Tao suppressed his excitement and said carefully.

"This is not sure..." Lu Yan thought for a while, "It would be better to say that if this could be done! The border army in Youzhou is too far away from Zhuo County. If the Yellow Turban thieves enter Zhuo County, they will report to the rescue. When the border army comes, Zhuo County is probably already in dire straits."

"Since that's the case!" Liu Tao began to instigate, "Why don't you write to your master and ask him to make this suggestion to the court. Or, even if he doesn't make it, you can give it to a very powerful person to make it!"

"Brother Deran makes sense. I will write a letter to my father when I go back! I just hope that the road is still stable now and the letter can be sent..." Lu Yan immediately made a decision when he heard this.

Liu Tao didn't stop him. After chatting for a few words, they said goodbye and went back to their respective homes. He knew very well that according to history, He Jin would write letters and advice like this, but the matter did not happen, so he needed an insurance.

At the same time, even if He Jin had already written a letter, Lu Zhi would definitely deepen his impression of him when he saw Lu Yan's letter. This is very important for the subsequent plan.

"There are pancakes in the kitchen, so heat them up a little when you eat them." As soon as I got home, Liu Yuanqi's voice came from the hall.

"Oh... I'll go to the Zhang family later. I may not come back for dinner tonight." Liu Tao shouted to the other side.

"I understand..." Liu Yuanqi's voice came back, looking like he was careless.

In the kitchen, there were a few whole wheat cakes in the plate. Not only did they ferment, they were baked directly in a pottery pot, without any grease and no salt in the cakes. Fortunately, there was a small plate of dried pickles.

There is nothing to eat in the middle of winter. It has been a year since I traveled here. Liu Tao has been used to it for a long time. He spent some effort to make a fire. He heated the cake with a steamer, rolled the pickles and ate it in three bites, and then poured a large bowl of warm water in it. This meal was done.

I sorted out my clothes, mainly to straighten my hair crown. In his identity, he usually only has a hairpin and at most a headscarf. For example, Zhang Jiajia advocated Zhang Fei, that's the case.

He had previously joined Lu Zhi's disciple, and the latter personally gave him a crown ceremony. It was because of this identity that he allowed him to wear a crown. At this moment when he was wearing a crown, he also had a new title called "Wan Shi"!

After leaving the house, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he came to a house. Due to the identity of the head of the family, he was not luxurious and tall, but the person living inside was the largest wine and meat merchant in Zhuo County, and almost monopolized the wine and meat business in Zhuo County.

"It's Mr. Liu, please come in, please come in!" When he arrived near the gate, the doorman recognized Liu Tao at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile. The other person ran back quickly, thinking that he was going to report to the head of the family.

"Brother is here just right!" As soon as Liu Tao entered the door, the owner Zhang Fei came over with a smile, "Come on, come in and have a drink with me!"
