"You?" Xiao Han raised his head and rolled his eyes at Luo Shixin: "Forget it, I'm not in the habit of sending my brothers to their deaths!"
"If I go, it will be a dead end?" Luo Shixin frowned slightly when he heard this, with a hint of sullenness in his tone: "Then if he goes, it won't be a dead end?"
"It's a dead end!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and snorted angrily.
I can't stand these second-guessing people. They all feel that they are much better than others, thinking that they can do what others can do! As everyone knows, in this world, such two-pronged people will die the fastest!
From here to America, there are more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 miles of sea route, with almost no land in between! Strong winds, big waves, food, drinking water, and even crew members who go crazy because of loneliness! Even a narrow escape is not enough to describe its danger!
Because of this, Xiao Han was reluctant to use his own people, but tried every means to let Mr. Wu go to Lei.
Of course, in order to increase the chance of success, not only him, but also some other pirates will start their journeys during this period! If possible, those profiteers like the Chen family had better get over there too!
"You want to drive all those people to the place you said?" Luo Shixin frowned even more after hearing Xiao Han's explanation: "Let's not talk about whether they will listen to you obediently, even if they really do
We went, but no one came back in the end?"
"Then let more people look for it until someone finds it." Xiao Han shrugged and said casually.
However, when Luo Shixin saw his casual look, his heart suddenly sank.
He didn't understand why Xiao Han cared so much about a few seeds? He even risked so many lives for it! Even these lives were all people who deserved to die in his eyes.
"Why?" Looking at Xiao Han with complicated eyes, Luo Shixin took a deep breath and slowly asked these three words.
"No reason!" Xiao Han's eyes wandered away, avoiding Luo Shixin's eyes and looking out the window.
In the garden outside the window, the shrubs that were originally lush and green are now quietly withered.
"Just think of me as a waste. Anyway, if these pirates stay, they will be beheaded. It's better to let them live and make some contributions to me." After a while, Xiao Han's dreamlike voice came.
"Um!"
Luo Shixin nodded slowly after hearing Xiao Han's somewhat tired explanation.
He is not a person who wants to get to the bottom of things, so when he sees Xiao Han, he doesn't want to go into detail, and he doesn't force him. They are all his brothers. No matter what he does, he just helps him!
"what do you need?"
"Compasses, compasses, and pirates have escaped over a hundred ships today, and only captured less than ten of them. I want the rest too!"
"good!"
Luo Shixin simply responded, stood up, and walked out of the room. However, he did not notice that the moment he left the room, Xiao Han obviously hesitated, as if he wanted to raise his hand to stop him, but in the end, that
The raised arm was still weak and hammered down.
Luo Shixin left, and Xiao Han was the only one left in the room.
He sat quietly in the room, and the cool night wind got in through the crack of the unclosed door, blowing the candle on the table flickering, and finally extinguished suddenly with a violent swaying, leaving only a wisp of green.
Smoke drifts in the wind.
"Hey..." After a long time, Xiao Han let out a long sigh, leaned on the chair tiredly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Why?
Because he is anxious, because he is afraid!
Therefore, he would rather risk his life to fill it, but he also wants to get those seeds!
Thinking of the letters from Chang'an a few days ago, Xiao Han's heart could not help but throb.
Since the beginning of winter, Guanzhong has been snowing non-stop, and Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places have been severely cold and freezing! Qin Tianjian has already predicted that this winter will be the coldest in recent decades! Even,
Even here in Guangzhou, you can feel that this winter is unusual!
Cold! Too cold!
It's so cold that even the plants in the garden are withering! It's so cold that as soon as the sun goes down, people will shiver! If the houses in Xicheng hadn't been built at this time, Xiao Han couldn't even imagine that it would be freezing this winter
How many people died!
If it's really cold, that's fine! Get some more things to keep out the cold, make a few bonfires, and just get through it.
However, from Qin Tianjian's souvenir, Xiao Han saw another crisis, that is, this severe cold is likely to last until next spring! By then, spring sowing will be delayed, and those in Henan who do not have much surplus food will
Where will the people of Hebei go?
To be fair, is the Tang Dynasty really rich today? Can it really be called the prosperous age of Zhenguan?
It seems, probably, it should be rich! It should be a prosperous age!
There are wise kings, honest officials, and armies that conquer the world and make countries all over the world tremble! There are keel waterwheels and three-crop rice. It seems that everything in front of you indicates that this is a prosperous age!
But such a prosperous age is definitely not the prosperous age in Xiao Han's eyes! A world that is still troubled by food and panics when encountering disaster years cannot be called a prosperous age!
In the south of the Yangtze River, rice has been ripe for three consecutive years, and even the granaries with so much grain cannot hold it. But what about to the north? The people there still rely on the barren land to cultivate the pitiful grains of wheat. However, the people there are...
the most!
Fang Xuanling, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, visited the world's population in the fifth year of Zhenguan and compiled records. He found that the Tang Dynasty now has less than three million households and a population of less than 12 million! Nearly three-fifths of this population is in the north!
In other words, once a disaster strikes in the north, even if all the food from the south of the Yangtze River is transported there, it won't be enough!
"People! Food!" In the darkness, Xiao Han suddenly clenched his fists and squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
——————
One night passed, and the next day, it started to rain sporadicly in Guangzhou.
It's light rain, but actually it's more appropriate to say it's icy rain! The cold raindrops fall on people's faces, making them shiver and curse inwardly, before tightening their collars.
Dongcheng, at the dock.
Since early in the morning, the scolding and sound of whips here have not stopped. The captured pirates were kicked awake early, carrying tools and wood, and continued to repair the dock.
The dock was in full swing, but the pirate ships docked at the dock were extremely quiet at this time.
On the tall mast, some pirates who tried to escape yesterday were still hanging on it! However, after experiencing a cold night, most of them had already completely disappeared.
There are only a few physically strong people who can barely breathe. Of course, it's just a breath. I don't know when they will die silently like the people around them.
