Chapter 251: Pocket Pocket Rare Light and Five Colors (3)
Wu Ya was wearing a fox fur coat and a pointed hat, her face was red from the cold.
She rubbed her hands and said, "The Guan family and Mr. Zeng are still busy. It's fun outside. Guan family, let's go out and have some fun, have a snowball fight, catch wild animals, and cover flying birds, okay?"
She is a mother of two children, yet so innocent, playful and active.
Zeng Baohua struggled to stand up, bowed to her, and then tried to avoid her: "I've seen my concubine. I'll take my leave first."
"Maoming, don't leave in a hurry." Zhao Si called out to the chubby Zeng Baohua, "Let's go out for a walk together."
"yes!"
After leaving the inner room of the felt bag, there is another room outside with a stove burning, and it is also steaming inside. Next to it is a wooden stand with several woolen fox fur cloaks hanging on it. Two chamberlains, Wu Baoxiang and Jia Xiang, are sitting here.
Waiting.
Seeing Zhao Si, Zeng Baohua came out and hurriedly went to get his cloak. He also said in his mouth: "Guan family, it's so cold outside, why are you going out with Brother Zeng?"
"It's starting to snow, and it may get heavier. I'm not worried. I'm going to look at the banner people's felt bags and winter reserves nearby."
"The officials really love the people like their own children."
"When will the official come back? I can prepare hot water and rice for the official and his wife."
Zhao Si thought for a while and said, "I will definitely come back before dark."
"Here! I've written it down, little one."
Opening the door curtain of the outer room, the cold wind rushed towards me, like a thousand arrows, hitting my face, which was painful. My whole body seemed to have fallen suddenly into an ice cave from the warm world, which made me feel painful.
You couldn't help but tighten your cloak, scarf and fur hat.
Zhao Si glanced at the soldiers of the Guards and Cavalry Army standing around the felt bag, and asked kindly: "How often will you be on guard now?"
"As far as your Majesty is concerned, we now run every two hours."
"It's too cold, so the bus will be changed to every hour. Please keep warm."
"Here!"
Continuing to walk outside, there was a felt bag fifty meters away and a wooden fence surrounding it.
There were people walking and watching on it. Every other section, there was a large wooden house with a round chimney sticking out, white smoke coming out. This was the duty room, and the guards worked in three shifts, each shift lasting eight hours.
I stay here when I'm on duty, and then go out in batches to stand guard.
Walking out, in the falling light snow, you can see that this is a temporary city on a hill, surrounded by wooden fences. It is centered on the huge felt bag with a radius of 200 meters where Zhao Si lived just now.
, scattered with thousands of felt bags, hundreds of long rows of wooden houses, and dozens of large warehouses.
There are three layers of wooden fences surrounding the area. There is another layer for different areas.
Looking over, there are many flower houses and only a few white air, like a fairy city.
"Guan family, if you can't live in peace with Ningcheng, you have to come here to suffer." Zeng Baohua complained beside him.
"You damn fat man, living here, freezing you and starving you?" Zhao Si smiled and scolded, while Wu Ya giggled at the side.
"It's just not comfortable to live in an official's house. It's so comfortable to live in Hening City." Zeng Baohua said, holding on.
"Hening City is not big, and there are not many houses that can be lived in. I have ordered that Xingzai and your old home be given up to the orphans, the old and the weak, and that the students who are training can live there. You also know my intention."
"Yes, I understand. Over the years, too many people have died in the conquest of the grassland tribes, leaving many orphans, old and weak. We need to appease people's hearts. There are also those trained students who are the future backbones and pillars of Xuanwu Banner and need to be carefully won over.
.”
"It's good that you know. How about I give you the felt bag, Mr. Zeng!"
"How dare you, I dare you! Official, don't look at me because I'm getting fat. In fact, I'm less courageous than a mouse. Don't scare me like that!"
Wu Ya smiled even more cheerfully on the side.
Zhao Si turned around, looked at her and asked: "I saw that when you returned to the grassland, you got off the reins with the wild donkey and ran wild without any sorrow at all. Don't you miss staying in Kaifeng?" A city girl?"
Wu Ya was stunned, as if she had just remembered that she did have a pair of children. One was three years old and the other was two years old. They had always been with her. However, when she came to Lingbei this time, she was worried that they would not be able to bear the hardship, so she stayed in Kaifeng. In the city, he was raised by a wet nurse.
"The official family is really bad. I have slowly forgotten about it these days and I no longer dream about it at night. Now that you mention it like this, it reminds me of it again," Wu Ya complained.
Zhao Si laughed.
Soon a guard came with three horses.
The three of them, Zhao Si, got on the horse. Because they were wearing more clothes, it was a bit difficult to get on the horse. Especially Zeng Baohua, who was like a clumsy blind bear who insisted on riding on the poor horse.
Under the protection of thousands of guards and knights, the three of them ran northward along the Hala and Lin Rivers in the light snow for more than an hour, and soon arrived at the territory governed by the Xuanwu Banner Earth Bat Wings.
He Qifan, a member of the Tubat Yizuo Wanhu family, received a message from the military officer early and came with dozens of guards to join them.
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, are you still out patrolling on a snowy day?" He Qifan asked after bowing his hands.
"Don't worry, let's go out and take a look while it's snowing. If it snows heavily, I won't be able to get out, and the people of each thousand households will have to trust in their fate. Only when you look around can you feel at ease."
"Well, please let me lead the way for His Majesty the Great Emperor." He Qifan said, then greeted his sister Wu Ya, and then greeted Zeng Baohua, who was also the uncle of Zhao Si.
Zhao Si stopped by a felt shop and walked in.
There lived seven members of the supporting household, two husbands and wives, an old man, and four children of different sizes. When they saw His Majesty the Emperor and the concubine, the envoy and Zuo Wanhu, they were frightened and at a loss.
"Are all the winter supplies ready?" Zhao Si asked in Mongolian.
The male host bravely replied: "His Majesty the Great Emperor, everything is ready. Food, supplies, green materials for cattle and sheep to survive the winter, and dry materials for making fires are all ready."
"Take me to see it."
"yes."
The male host took Zhao Si to the simple felt bag next to it - it didn't need to be kept warm, it just wanted to be strong, so it was very simple and as cold as outside.
Zhao Si looked around and saw that there were grains, lamb legs, mare's milk, cheese, tea, sugar... On the outside of the simple felt bag, there were neatly stacked green materials - now hay. There was also a stack of green materials. The dry ingredients for the fire - cow, sheep and horse dung - are pressed into pieces and then dried in the sun.
Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction.
"The chimney must be kept clear in the house to prevent smoke poisoning. Has Kohu come to see it?"
"Returning to His Majesty the Great Emperor, three days ago, when there were signs of snow, Kohu came down with Sige and a halberd, accompanied by Masato. He came over to take a look around and asked about the situation in detail."
That's good! He Qifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief next to him.
"Have people from hundreds of households and thousands of households come to see it?"
"Back to His Majesty the Great Emperor, a month ago, Baihu, accompanied by Jiahu, came to see him. Half a month ago, an official from Qianhuyou, who was recording affairs, accompanied by Baihuzuoqianshi, also came to see I’ve always asked the little one what he’s missing.”
Seeing that Zhao Si seems to be getting more and more satisfied, He Qifan feels happy. This accountant is really a smart little guy, so sensible. In the spring of spring, he will be promoted to the next level and become a deputy accountant, and he will be eligible to sign and earn money.
The future is divided among the spoils.
I am also very lucky. The official pointed me to this house at random. It is really blessed by the Buddha!
After leaving this house, they randomly visited about ten more households. There were main households, deputy households, supporting households, including the first household. The situation was relatively optimistic, and Zhao seemed relieved.
However, he also knew that this was because Tubayi was close to Hening City, supplies were sufficient, and the Economic Strategy Department and the Xuanwu Banner Propaganda Department were keeping a close eye on it, so the situation was certainly optimistic.
I just don’t know what it will be like in remote places? But now he can only do this.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Si was preparing to return. Before leaving, he told He Qifan: "Heavy snow is coming. Every thousand or hundreds of households must organize an emergency team to respond to the disaster at any time. There are also health teams and propaganda teams. When the heavy snow comes,
, it’s even more critical time for them.”
After thinking for a while, Zhao Si said again: "Tell every household to hurry up and let their children learn to read and write Chinese characters. I will take out 500 fat sheep and organize a learning competition in the spring. The top ten children can divide the five hundred sheep."
A hundred fat sheep.”
"This star really wants to retire"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Great Emperor. We will definitely do our best to let the people of Mobei know that under the light of His Majesty the Great Emperor, no matter how cold the winter is, it will be as warm as spring."
He Qifan patted his chest and replied.
Hey, my brother-in-law is not an ordinary person!
Back at the station, Zeng Baohua returned to his felt bag. Zhao Si and Wu Ya returned to their warm felt bag.
After dinner, the hot food and soup fell into my stomach, and my whole body felt warm.
Looking at Wu Ya's red face, Zhao Si's heart moved. He put his right hand over his sleeve and said, "Wu Ya, I just found something interesting outside."
"What is it?" Wu Ya rushed over and pulled Zhao Si's sleeve to see what was going on. Zhao Si refused to let her see it, so he pulled it off and the two of them fell on the wool blanket and fox-sable fur.
Seeing Wu Ya's delicate face in front of him, Zhao Si said: "This baby of mine can be big or small and has many changes. Do you really want to see it?"
"Of course." Wu Ya replied without knowing what was going on.
"It's snowing heavily, and we can't go out. I'll let you see this treasure as much as you can. But since you've seen my treasure, you should also let me see yours."
Wu Ya had already heard the frivolous meaning of these words, bit her lips and murmured softly, like a cat meowing.
"The official family is really bad. You don't know how many times you have watched my baby, haven't you seen enough?"
"I can't see enough, I can't see enough in a lifetime..."
The candlelight flickered, and the red shadow swayed, reflected on the glass, copper and tin vessels, emitting colorful light, bright and colorful, and varied, unlike in the human world. This chapter has been completed!
