I have a fortune book

Chapter 95
Five days later, the Secret Realm of Heavenly Secrets disintegrated and disappeared, and Qingbao Valley returned to its original state.

The vegetation in the valley is withered, the leaves are yellow and cold in autumn, and a large number of confused scholars suddenly appear in the original and quiet scenery, which seems a bit abrupt.

You can't feel the passage of time, and you don't need to eat or drink. The few days that pass quietly make everyone feel like a lifetime away.

But most people came back to their senses with joy on their faces. What they have gained in the past few days is not what the outside world can get.

Anyone who enters the secret realm has at least improved their literary thinking. Now, not to mention everyone can export poems, but they only need to study hard for a period of time, and their studies will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

This is also the reason why young scholars from bad backgrounds are so fond of the Secret Realm of Heaven. As long as you get a piece of chance, it can increase your chances of passing the imperial examination.

Zhou Bai recalled the experience in the secret realm, but his mind was still in a trance. The memory stuffed into his mind was too huge, even for the soul of the Qingming realm, it was difficult to fully digest it.

After going through hundreds of lives and seeing all kinds of life, he only felt that his Taoism and studies had made sufficient progress.

Not to mention the same as Jinshi, even Jinshi, he dared to say that his knowledge is not much different.

As long as you go home to digest and read, you will truly enter the field of Jinshi.

Moreover, he gained a lot of luck in the secret realm. The spirit of the white deer disappeared with the secret realm, but the greenish-yellow aura it got back was lush and lush, almost like a canopy.

Before Zhou Bai could carefully observe his majestic luck, a few pure white snowflakes quietly fell on his forehead, bringing a hint of coolness.

"It's snowing, is this auspicious snow or disaster snow?"

"It's just October, and it's snowing in the hinterland of Dingzhou. This is not a good omen."

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on in the whole northern region. The snow in the north of Dingzhou must be heavier than here."

At this time, someone had just walked out of the valley, and the scene outside made everyone gasp in amazement.

Zhou Bai looked up at the sky, only to realize that the original sky here was black clouds, a picture of rain and snow pouring down.

"Grassland, alas, it's time for cattle and sheep to be fattened up now. Now that it's snowing, how will the grassland people survive the cold winter?"

"In troubled times, I assert that there must be war in the north."

"Cangbei and Bei'an County have to find a way to defend the Kingdom of Jin from going south!"

Hearing some scholars' high-spirited talk, Zhou Bai did not refute, because what he was worried about now was what they said.

It snowed in October, more than a month earlier than before, and it was a disaster for northern countries such as Daxu Northern Territory and Jin Kingdom.

The main opportunity has been taken, the tour ends here, Zhou Bai now has to rush back home to preside over the overall situation.

……

All the way back to the north, because it was not downstream, Zhou Bai did not take the waterway, but followed the official road and went straight through Longfeng County and Ruinan County.

Even though the mountains were high and the water was far away, and thousands of miles away, with the strong support of the post station along the way, Zhou Bai still rushed back to Bei'an before October [-]th.

Arriving here, as he expected, the land was completely covered with snow, and the continuous heavy snow never stopped.

It can only be said that fortunately the autumn harvest will end in September, otherwise, not to mention the grasslands, the livelihood of the people south of Cangshan Mountain would be difficult to maintain.

After passing through Bei'an County, even though Zhou Bai didn't want to waste time, the county government had already heard the news in such a short time when he changed the horses, and sent the county instructor to invite him in person.

"Duke Xie Yuan, I don't know how many years we have not been out of Xie Yuan in Bei'an. You are a role model for scholars in Bei'an. The prefect must let me invite you for a while." There was no room for Zhou Bai to refuse the invitation.

After all, he is not yet a Jinshi, and if he wants to hang out here, everyone must save face.

This entry into the city was naturally not a banquet, except for the chief officials such as the sheriff, he had to meet all the officials of Bei'an County, big and small.

After drinking for two full days, Zhou Bai finally came to an end with the entertainment, but he was not in vain, he got a lot of benefits.

First, the county government rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver for being the first in the Dingzhou Township Examination, then there was another [-]-mu land deed, which could be exchanged anywhere in Bei'an County, and finally there were various other rewards, which had already been sent to Zhou Bai's family. house.

Not only that, when Zhou Bai left the county and returned to his hometown, the county government actually arranged for a team of county cavalry to escort him.

Although they are not elites like Silver Flood Dragon Cavalry, they are standard cavalry. They are all skilled in bow and horse, obviously they are not rookies who have never seen blood.

On the official road outside the city, the captain of the county soldiers saw that Zhou Bai was a little puzzled, so he cupped his fists and said, "Recently, there have been frequent changes in the Kingdom of Jin. There are often prairie horse thieves breaking into Cangbei County to make troubles. Our Bei'an County is also a little uneasy. There are often people on the official road. Xiaoxiao haunts, for your safety, so."

"So that's the case, then I will trouble you brothers."

When Zhou Bai led this team of county soldiers back to Pingcang County for several days, there was a commotion. The county soldiers defending the city thought it was the golden soldiers who had stolen the city, and were almost so frightened that they pulled up the suspension bridge and closed the city gate.

Fortunately, Zhou Bai's Jurengong uniform was more conspicuous, thus avoiding a farce.

From this, we can actually see how much pressure a heavy snow that does not follow common sense will bring to the creatures in the north and south of Cangshan Mountain.

Even if Zhou Bai hadn't been on the grassland now, he could still imagine what it means to be starved by the snow and starve for thousands of miles.

If it is placed in the interior, it is snowing when it snows, but it can be placed on the grasslands of the northern border. Excessive snow is also called white hair disaster.

The Baimao wind caused the nomadic herdsmen and flocks to lose their way, and the traffic was seriously blocked.

At the same time, due to the freezing weather and insufficient food and grass, not only the livestock would be frozen to death, but even the grassland people who watched the sky for food could hardly survive.

Although Feixue in October was not as absurd and exaggerated as Feixue in June, it happened to push Jin Guo to a dead end.

Zhou Bai still remembered that Hu Yanhe said that King Jin was seriously ill, and now his brother must transfer internal conflicts in order to control the power of the Kingdom of Jin.

Where to transfer, it can only be Daxubian County.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai was going to visit the county magistrate Ji Hongzhe in the city, and discuss with him the countermeasures.

However, Ji Hongzhe brought him even worse news.

County government.

Zhou Bai asked in disbelief: "You want to move away from Pingcang? What about your new policy?"

"Well, I have been promoted. From the sixth grade, the official document will arrive within three months, and I will move to Pinghe County."

"Congratulations on taking the first place in the provincial examination. The New Deal may only be completed by you, Xie Yuangong. Fortunately, there are not many bandits left in Cangshan, and the rest is to open up wasteland for development." Ji Hongzhe couldn't tell whether he was happy or depressed, and patted Zhou Bo's shoulders sighed.

Zhou Bai had no choice but to accept the reality, smiled and said: "Before you leave, you have to take Ping Cang through this winter. Also, if you don't want the government to perish, promise me one condition."

"Let's talk, it just so happens that the county doesn't know how to give you the reward for Jieyuan."

"Can those unowned mountain fields in Cangshan be sold to me for an extra tens of thousands of acres, and the mountain fields can be exchanged for ordinary fields. You can see the ratio?"
