Since the last summons, the entire Yunzhou City has fallen into a strange calm.
The local forces were waiting for the Dragon King Crossing the River to take action, but the Dragon King Crossing the River was just minding his own business and doing some very ordinary things.
Supervise the subsequent construction of the palace, put forward suggestions for modifications to the areas that he is not satisfied with, and let the craftsmen repair them according to their own ideas. In addition, his daily activity is to go to the grassland with a group of guards to hunt and shoot rabbits every day.
And every day he returned home with a full load, carrying a bunch of rabbits back to the city.
Seeing the results of this prince's battle, other civilians in the city also became interested.
The thoughtful ones secretly followed the team to see where the team hunted every day and how many rabbits they could catch.
Who would have thought that every time after King Yun's hunting team left, these people who were secretly following him would not find a single rabbit.
I could only watch as King Yun and his entourage returned home with a full load every day, but they were helpless and couldn't get the slightest advantage.
And when Zhao Jun's daily activities continued for a period of time, other forces that were originally extremely vigilant gradually relaxed their vigilance, feeling that this King Yun was just lazy and would not do anything to threaten their interests again. .
Although he still paid attention to Zhao Jun's movements just in case, he no longer had the nervousness and caution at the beginning.
The daily life of Yunzhou City passed quickly under this strange calm, and time came to November in the blink of an eye.
The weather has also entered the early stages of winter. The weather is gradually turning cooler, and the grass on the grasslands is gradually turning yellow.
At this time, herders who have lived on the grasslands for generations will begin to desperately collect fodder to provide their cattle and sheep with something to eat in the winter.
But they don’t have a long-term storage method. Such behavior is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It is only useful in the early stages of winter. When winter really comes, they can still only resign themselves to fate and let God decide what their cattle, sheep and livestock will be this year. How many can survive?
The snow in winter is called white disaster by prairie people!
White terror disaster!
Snow that is heavy enough can even devastate a large tribe overnight.
Winter is a real battle royale on the grassland, and no grassland force can escape. This is why every winter, the former northern grassland tribes always go south to invade the Song Dynasty.
Everyone wants to live, but the grassland tribes that suffered from the white disaster can only survive the white disaster by grabbing enough living materials in the prosperous Song Dynasty.
So every time they fight, they come with the determination to die.
Even if they knew they would suffer heavy casualties, they would attack the Song Dynasty again and again like moths to a flame.
Everything is just for survival.
Since the surrender of Yunzhou County fifty years ago, after the herdsmen in Yunzhou County suffered disasters in winter, the Song Dynasty court would take the initiative to allocate money and food to help the herdsmen in the disaster survive. This also led to the herdsmen in Yunzhou County gradually settling down. It even became a barrier in the northern part of the Song Dynasty in winter, serving as a line of defense against the invasion of nomadic tribes from the grasslands further north.
This year is Zhao Jun's first year as a vassal. Since it was already approaching winter when he became a vassal, the imperial court promised to be responsible for the financial and food support to Yunzhou County this year, but next year, these will all be taken care of by Zhao Jun himself, the King of Yun. solve.
Seeing that the day was getting colder and colder, one night in mid-November, snowflakes like falling catkins fell quietly.
In just one night, the surface of the grassland outside was covered with a thick layer of snow. Even Yunzhou City was covered with "snow quilts" everywhere, and everything looked like it was covered in silver.
Crunch~
Pushing open the door, a burst of cold air hit him instantly. Zhao Jun, who was about to go out, almost retreated into the room on the spot.
He stabilized his body and looked at the snowflakes still falling outside. He subconsciously touched his chin and began to think.
However, after thinking for a moment, I felt that at this moment, I could only express the complex emotions of writing a poem but without any ink in my mind.
After thinking about it, if I really spit out those two words, it would be slightly inconsistent with my personality, so I swallowed it back.
Turning around, Zhao Jun ordered Wang Huaien who was following him: "The snow is so heavy, let the craftsmen stop working, and give each craftsman a reward to go back and have a good winter. The charcoal fire and thick quilts will be waiting for you." You have to give me enough, and don’t let anyone say that I, Prince Yun’s Mansion, am stingy.”
Wang Huai'en nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, these servants will definitely take care of things for you, and they will never let anyone gossip about Your Majesty."
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction and asked: "How is it with the Guards? Have thick military uniforms and sufficient carbon fire subsidies been issued?"
Wang Huai'en immediately said: "Not long after the snow fell last night, my servants already informed the quartermaster to issue thick military uniforms and carbon fire subsidies to the brothers. The brothers were very grateful to the prince after receiving them."
Zhao Jun nodded again, then looked at the snowflakes that were still falling outside the door and said slowly: "Don't worry about your work, this guard is the foundation of our foothold in Yunzhou City, and we can't do anything bad to anyone. They are not good. They are the source of my confidence to lift the table. You must not be careless.
In addition, not only these two places, but also the other people who followed us from Bianjing must not be left behind, and they must not be given a penny less. We do not lack this, but we cannot make people feel cold, otherwise who will give us Working hard, right? "
"What the prince said is that this servant must obey the prince's teachings." Wang Huai'en lowered his head and listened respectfully, echoing from time to time, taking the trouble to listen to his prince's endless instructions, with a proud look on his face.
This is my own prince. The reason why everyone recognized the prince in just three months is because the prince’s behavior has been recognized by everyone. He sets an example in everything he does, but he will never let others find fault. On the contrary, compared to others, the prince's caring behavior for his subordinates is more heartwarming, and it is also the reason why everyone recognizes the prince the most.
Perhaps because he felt that all that needed to be said had been said, Zhao Jun quickly stopped rambling, wrapped himself in his clothes, walked out of the room and walked towards the front hall while lightly giving instructions:
“The time is almost up, let them do it.
Although the frog is boiled in warm water, please pay attention to it and be prepared to close the lid at any time. Don't let the frog that notices the clue jump out and become a cooked duck and fly away. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
With heavy snow falling, this winter may not be as easy as usual.
I just don’t know how many people and things will turn into dust and be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Become an insignificant, stepping stone under the overwhelming momentum!
