Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Lin He was right. This winter was extremely cold. Li Changhui had been concentrating on Lin He, so he didn't notice anything at all.

After observing others later, I realized that this was really the case.

This year everyone wears thicker clothes than before. In the cloth shops in the city, cotton-padded clothes are sold like hotcakes every day.

This can't help but make Li Changhui a little worried.

"What's wrong with you? Something's still wrong these days. It seems like you've been worried about something."

It was sunny one day, and then it was gloomy again. At noon, when it should be the warmest, it was all dark.

Lin He had already started warming himself by the fire and never put down the small heater in his hand.

Now I don’t dare to take Meng’er out to play, because I am afraid that after running around, I will sweat and catch a cold if I don’t change clothes in time.

However, Lin He also found that Li Changhui was not as nervous about him as before, but his expression still didn't seem to be relaxed.

Li Changhui hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his worries.

"It doesn't usually get so cold here, but now the temperature here is so severe, I'm worried that there may be snow disasters in some places."

Lin He immediately understood Li Changhui's worries.

"To the north, it's probably very cold now."

Lin He said, sitting and turning towards Li Changhui.

"Speaking of which, do you know how big the Da'an Dynasty is? I mean, have you ever seen a map of the country?"

She now knows a few places, Xiang'an Village, Yonghe Town, Nanzhi County, Guanzhou Prefecture, and then the capital.

Guanzhou Prefecture is eight or nine days' journey by car and horse from Nanzhi County, and the capital is three months' journey away.

Other than that, she knew very little about the Da'an Dynasty.

She didn't know how big the country was, what state capitals there were, what the geographical environment was like, etc.

Ordinary people in this world are not qualified to know this. Even if you read a book, the book will not draw you a map of the country. It will even write you a certain place without a detailed route.

However, Lin He felt that Li Changhui should know. After all, he should be the son of a certain family in the capital, otherwise he would not be able to raise a woman like Jin Rong.

What's more, he has been at the border for ten years. With the strength he shows now, he can become a general, so he will naturally have the opportunity to see the map.

However, Lin He was not interested before, so he never asked about these things. After all, in daily life, knowing these things was of no use to him.

At this moment, I also saw that Li Changhui was worried, so I wanted to know more.

"Map?" Li Changhui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Wait for me."

Then she got up and went to the study. Lin He was too lazy to move, so she just sat there. It was so warm by the fire, especially since she had been roasting here for a while and her whole body was feeling cold.

When making a fire in winter, those who have money will use charcoal, and those who cannot afford charcoal will just use firewood.

There are many trees on the mountain. Every year in autumn, people go to the mountain to get a lot of fallen leaves and twigs, which can be used to start fires.

He also chops firewood, taking advantage of the leisure time to chop a lot of firewood. Those branches that are too lush, dead trees, etc. are all sources of firewood for the common people.

Of course, there are also those who specialize in cutting firewood and selling it to wealthy families in the city.

Lin He still cherished his life. The fire was also under the eaves, but behind him was the study room, and he could even hear the sound of Li Changhui grinding.

I squinted my eyes and took a nap. I woke up the moment I heard the door open. I looked over and saw Li Changhui coming over with a piece of paper. "This is a topographic map of the entire Da'an Dynasty, as well as some surrounding countries. I drew it relatively simply, but it should be understandable."

As he spoke, the terrain map appeared in front of Lin He.

A piece of rice paper is three feet long, and Li Changhui's topographic map occupies most of the paper.

The topographic drawings of the Da'an Dynasty are relatively detailed, even some state capitals are marked, and there is even a small black dot to represent the location of Nanzhi County.

In this way, Lin He had some idea of ​​where he was.

The entire map is a bit like an irregular long pumpkin, surrounded by many other countries.

It is precisely because of this terrain that there are many countries bordering it.

The pumpkins on the rice paper are slanted, and they are in the middle and lower part of the pumpkin, very close to the border.

But comparing with other countries, the Da'an Dynasty should actually be quite big.

Lin He looked at the terrain map and suddenly pointed to the bottom position: "Is this near the sea?"

There is nothing painted here, and after much thought, I can only think of the sea.

"Yes, the capital is here and there is more shipping."

Li Changhui pointed to a place, a little above on the map.

Lin He pointed to the top of the terrain map: "Is this north?"

He looked up north and down south in his memory, and he didn't know if it was the same here.

Fortunately, Li Changhui nodded: "Yes, it starts to snow here every year around October. Although the winter is a bit cold in previous years, we can survive it. If the temperature continues to drop this year..."

Li Changhui didn't finish the rest, but Lin He had already guessed it.

According to Li Changhui, the location in the north should be similar to the north in her previous life. It is covered with ice and snow for four or five months every year and is very cold.

Then I heard Li Changhui point to the outside of the pass again: "And here, there are nomadic people here, and almost no one grows their own food."

"Normally, it's okay. They usually eat beef and mutton, or exchange cattle and sheep for some grain with the Da'an Dynasty. If there is heavy snow and the mountains are blocked, they will have no food, and they will probably rob them directly."

Lin He said softly: "Especially because the temperature drop may reduce the production of some grains, there will be less tradable food, or there may be snow disasters in some places. If we use food to help the victims, there will be less tradable food."

Li Changhui nodded: "Yes, that's what I'm worried about, here."

Li Changhui pointed to a certain place: "It's not far from our place, and this direction has been their attack direction in previous years."

Lin He's eyebrows twitched: "Do you want to go?"

Her first reaction was that Li Changhui wanted to return to the battlefield.

However, Li Changhui shook his head: "There is no point in me going. One person cannot stop thousands of troops. Besides, I have been away from the battlefield for eight or nine years. I am not familiar with everything over there. There is no use in going."

Lin He didn't understand this time: "What do you mean?"

Li Changhui hesitated for a moment, and just when Lin He couldn't help but ask and urge, he finally spoke.

"I always feel that you should have some way to prevent it."

It's prevention, not solution. All this is Li Changhui's speculation based on the cooling of the temperature. He actually doesn't know the specific situation. (End of chapter)
