Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 393
Is the Western Region a good place for people to live? It is cold in winter and hot in summer. Whether it is cold or hot, it is so special. When it is hot, eggs can be scrambled, and when it is cold, water can be splashed into ice. There are many countries, but the main reason is the limited population.

The autumn harvest was in September, and in October, taking advantage of the last bit of sunshine, the cotton was harvested, and it was not until the end of October, when continuous heavy snow began to fall.

Fortunately, I prepared enough coal in the past few months and made enough briquettes to survive the winter safely. Of course, this enough means that Li Shimin just changed it to Xiyu Road, Gaochang County, and the Tang Dynasty belonging to Xiqiele County. As for Yanqi, Kucha, it’s enough to provide part of it to the royal family. Anyway, the people don’t have a kang. As for the people, those who help the expedition, those who farm the land, and those who work, are all given benefits. A few woolen clothes and thin cotton clothes, although they are all secondary. Although they are not good quality products, they are much better than their original ones. For this reason, Feng Daiwen, Li Ke and Li Tai have gained a lot of prestige.

In the name of Princess Guang'an of the Tang Dynasty, Feng Daiwen distributed winter benefits to the working people, a bag of salt, a bag of kelp, and a can of canned fruit. Not only did the people of Gaochang quickly return to their hearts, they all thought it was the returning of fallen leaves to their roots and returning to the motherland, and also let the other two The common people who came to work in the country are envious.Because even the captives bought were rewarded.Compared with their own country, it is simply a world of difference, and Datang taxation, welfare, etc. are slowly spreading through these people.

It was snowing heavily, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness. Although the snow scene was good, no one was in the mood to watch it. Adults would be half trapped when going out. After the heavy snowfall, everyone was busy cleaning the snow on the roof.

Fortunately, the current houses are all built of bricks, so they will not be crushed, but the snow on the roof must be removed every day.

Since the East Turkic war a few years ago, skis have been handed down from the Tang army. They are easy to make and quick to learn. Whether they are used for driving or playing, they are very good, so few people don’t know how to use them. This at least allowed Feng Daiwen's people to travel.

More than a dozen counties in Gaochang have all arranged people to check to see if anyone has been affected by the disaster, so that they can be rescued in a timely manner. After all, most of them are Han Chinese and their descendants. It is always good to have fewer deaths.

There is a coal stove in the shed, and finally there is a harvest. This is an incredible thing in the eyes of the people from the Western Regions. The only pity is that they cannot be transported for sale. The snowy road makes transportation difficult and the cost is too high. This makes the soldiers We are full of delicious food, the easiest to preserve, and the easiest to grow, with the best yield of radish, cabbage and kelp, stewed in a large pot of yam vermicelli, although the yak meat is small, but full of oil, put a little ginger and spring onion, Mustard greens, everyone is holding a porcelain bowl the size of a human head, sitting around the stove, sweating profusely from eating.

Feng Daiwen was also eating hot pot Wodong with Guang'an in the house, the only fly in the ointment was that there were two more light bulbs.

Li Tai brought Li Ke here, smelling the fragrance, nothing happened in winter, and they knew that Feng Daiwen likes to cook some delicious food, and since Guang'an and the others were there, they made delicious food in different ways, so as not to be far away from home. The girls have a bad appetite.

So, Li Tai and Li Tai took it for granted that they lived in here to eat and drink, and they even called it taking care of the eldest sister. This sentence was justified, but fortunately Li Ke was relatively thin-skinned, and he blushed a little.

"Brother-in-law, there must be too much snow in the Western Regions in winter!" Li Tai said with a frown as he watched the snow start falling again outside the glass window.

If he only listened to his words, he would think that he was concerned about the country and the people, but unfortunately he was still picking meat out of the pot with chopsticks in his hands.

A piece of yak meat was rinsed in the hot pot, put it in his mouth, let out a comfortable moan, touched his bulging stomach, and wondered whether to continue eating.

"Forget it, people shouldn't be greedy for their tongues." Li Tai put down his chopsticks with a bitter face, and comforted himself.

"Pfft!" Feng Daiwen sprayed it to the side with a mouthful of white water in his mouth. He had never seen such a shameless person before, and he was amused by him. He was the one who ate the most and had the face to say such a thing.

"You...you...you are really shameless and invincible!" Feng Daiwen tapped Li Tai with his hand, and waited for the tone to subside, and said angrily.

"Look at you being stingy. If it's okay, the fourth brother can eat as much as he likes. It's not enough for the cook to mess with." Guang'an looked at the chubby Li Tai and said with a smile.

"Heck! Heck!" Yaya and Aomei couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing out loud.

Originally, the two of them were not qualified to eat at the same table with them, but they had a close relationship and were familiar with each other, so no one cared about that.

"I won't eat, I won't eat, I'll just stay indoors every day, and at least I'll grow a lot this winter." Li Tai looked at the meat in the pot, resisted turning his head away, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hey, it will take at least three months for the snow here to melt. For such a long time, in order to prevent you from gaining too much weight and affecting your body, I decided to help you exercise." Feng Daiwen grinned, squeezed his hands hard, and his fingers made positive movements. Crackling.

"No, no, I know how to exercise myself. Brother-in-law, you should help the third brother exercise. You can see that he is being taken care of, so he will definitely lack exercise." Li Tai shuddered, and quickly pointed at Zheng Zheng who was looking at Long Yuzhu Li Ke, who kept picking vegetables for himself, said.

Li Ke was also speechless when he saw Li Tai's misfortune, and looked at Long Yuzhu who was staring at him affectionately, and shook his head helplessly.

"Your father has already written a letter requesting the Holy Majesty to grant you a marriage. I think the Holy Majesty will agree, but before that, you must pay attention to the influence, so that the little girl cannot see others." Feng Daiwen told the two implicitly .

"No, no." Li Ke glanced at the lovely Long Yuzhu, blushed, and hurriedly said.

"Really? The Holy Majesty will agree, right!" Long Yuzhu only heard the first half of the sentence, turned her head, averted her eyes from Li Ke, and asked with a smile.

"There should be no problem. Seeing that the two of you have a good impression of each other, I will say a few words for you as an adult." Feng Daiwen nodded and said.

"That's great!" Long Yuzhu immediately screamed as she hugged Li Ke's arm, with a happy smile on her face.

"Ah! The children nowadays are really not polite. They don't even say thank you when they say good things to her. It's really a decline in the world, and people's hearts are not old." Feng Daiwen shook his head and sighed deliberately dissatisfied.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Long Yuzhu reacted to Feng Daiwen's teasing, and followed Li Ke's address in embarrassment.

"Since you have called brother-in-law, I won't let you call for nothing. In the past few months, you can safely follow Ao Mei to learn the royal etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, or else you will be looked down upon by others." Guang An said softly to Long Yuzhu said.

"Thank you, big sister!" Li Ke stood up and saluted gratefully upon hearing this.
