The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 1596 Who Set the Trap in 1619 (5)

Compared to the tranquility of the hot springs, the capital has a somewhat tense atmosphere, and a strange aura hangs over the capital.

The night is very quiet, the wind is also very light, there is no snow tonight, and the bright moon is in the sky, illuminating the entire capital city with a vast expanse of white snow.

It was very cold, and the chill was a bit heavier than before. The snow had not melted, and there were a few wisps of cold glow with the moonlight.

In the largest warehouse in the capital, there are more than a dozen wooden barrels standing there very comfortably at this time. The warehouse is very quiet, and someone is breathing lightly.

The soldiers on duty walked up and down the corridor from time to time because of the cold weather, trying to warm themselves up.

It's just that such a snow-covered night is destined to be extremely cold. Those soldiers were wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes, and they still felt that the biting cold was overwhelming, and the heavy cotton-padded clothes couldn't resist it at all.

The soldier couldn't help stamping his feet again. He wanted to start a fire, but he also knew that there was too much food and grass here. Afraid to lose his life.

Because he has this kind of cognition in his heart, he can only stomp his feet twice, and can only walk around non-stop.

Now he only hopes that the time will pass faster and the soldiers on duty will come earlier.

Soon it was Zishi, and the weather was getting colder. There were a few soldiers on duty on the other side. Seeing him stomping around, they followed suit, but they greeted him: "This winter is not as cold as in previous years, but it is also colder." I don't know what's going on, but now that it's snowing, the sky is so cold. The sun came out in the sky this afternoon, but the sun seemed to be weak, it melted a little snow, but it was even worse. cold."

The soldier on duty glanced at the eaves, but saw that a few thick ice edges had fallen there, he sighed and said, "That's right, I don't know what's going on, it's so cold in this hell."

The two chatted a few more gossips, and then chatted a few more nonsense words. Both of them had been guarding soldiers for a while, and they were acquainted with each other on weekdays, so when they met, they talked a lot more.

At this time, it was freezing cold, and they were on duty outside, and they couldn't even see a single person in the surroundings, so the two stood together and said a few more words. Will be here again.

The soldier at the front said: "I don't know what happened this year, but so much rice was harvested."

"I heard that there is a big harvest in the south." The soldier behind said: "My hometown is in the south. When there is a good harvest, there is really a lot of rice. I heard that this year the prince exempted a lot of taxes. These The rice grains are not collected by taxation. They are all bought by the princes from the people with silver. It is said that when the princes buy grain, the price they give is one penny higher than the market price, so everyone is willing to give the grain Sell ​​it to the court."

"My lord is such a good lord." The soldier in front said: "If the lord expropriates forcibly, the people will have to give it. And this year's bumper harvest seems to be a good year, but we all know that every time there is a bumper harvest In previous years, the price of rice grains would drop, but they could not be sold for a few silver coins, but this year is much better than previous years."
