Under the expectant gaze of the people, Xie Ling slowly told the prices of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"One centimeter weighs ten kilograms, and each person is limited to buying fifty kilograms."

When these words were spoken, the people looked at each other in surprise. Some people even dropped the potatoes and sweet potatoes in their hands on the ground in shock. There was silence.

I don't know who shouted the first exclamation, but soon after, cheers broke out like a tidal wave, surging above the square, and the whole Sinan trembled.

"One centimeter is ten pounds?"

"One centimeter is ten kilograms!!!"

"Thank you, Lord Bo, for being such a good man!"

"This is like giving it away for free!"

The first way for ancient people to express their gratitude was to kneel down and kowtow.

I don't know who started it, but men, women, old and young, all knelt on the ground and started to kowtow.

He kowtowed and shouted, "Thank you, sir, for your long life!"

The common people could hardly read and did not know other elegant ways of blessing. They only knew to wish him a long life.

Xie Ling widened her eyes, and took a half step back at a loss, just in time to bump into Gu Wei's arms.

Gu Wei bent down, leaned close to Xie Ling's ear, and said softly, "Master Xie, may you live a hundred years."

With that pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, she is inexplicably gentle and affectionate.

Xie Ling punched him and quickly called on the people to stand up, but no matter what she said, the people just knelt there stubbornly.

Xie Ling had no choice but to lower her voice:

"If you don't get up, I'll raise the price."

Only then did the people get up.

On the other side, Gu Wei ordered the soldiers and advisers to stand in front of the sweet potatoes and potatoes and organize the sale in an orderly manner.

Although today is not the real Mid-Autumn Festival, it is more joyful than the Mid-Autumn Festival.

While the people and soldiers were still together, Xie Ling announced the news of road construction.

When they heard that another road was going to be built, the people became even more excited.

They only worry about having nothing to do, not having too many things to do.

Building roads meant that the entire family, young and old, men, women and children, could get jobs and earn work points.

Men repair the roads, women go to the canteen to cook, and the elderly and children deliver meals and water.

The road was built this time for transporting coal.

Lingnan is frozen in autumn and snowy in winter. Only when the roads are repaired can coal be transported back to the city in large quantities.

Many people have just asked what coal is and why it can burn for so long.

Xie Ling gave a brief explanation.

When the people knew that this thing could be exchanged for centimeters, they were even more excited.

After all, charcoal is expensive, and it is difficult to go up the mountain to collect firewood in winter. With this coal, only a few pieces are needed to burn for a whole day.

When people thought about being able to spend the winter in warmth, they felt comfortable and surprised. After all, who would have dared to think so before?

Less than half a month later, Chang Shou's sweet potatoes and potatoes were ripe. Xie Ling did not show favoritism and prepared a grand feast for them as usual.

The remaining sweet potatoes and potatoes were stored in the Sinan warehouse.

……..

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the evergreen trees in Lingnan were covered with frost. Sometimes when I woke up in the morning, I could see a thin layer of ice covering the water tank.

People lamented that it got cold so early this year, but only Xie Ling noticed something was wrong.

No matter how early it gets cold, it can't be the same as autumn and winter, right?

How could it be so cold before the normal Mid-Autumn Festival? And this is in the south.

Xie Ling asked some local elders and found out that it was not like this before. It was only this year that was particularly strange and terribly cold.

What is going on?

Could there be an extreme cold disaster?

The south was so cold that the north was as cold as the coldest days of winter. Thousands of miles were covered with ice and snow. Countless people froze to death, and wild dogs on the roadside often carried frozen corpses in their mouths.

People generally said that it was because the imperial court ignored the refugees, which led to the suffering of the people and chaos and strife in the world, so the gods brought punishment upon the world.

Naturally, this news also reached the imperial court in Beijing.

In the court, the floor heating that used to be lit in November was lit in August this year. The emperor was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, holding a hand warmer, and was drowsy.

Until a voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. The weather in the north is getting colder, rumors are spreading among the people, and the Di people are constantly offending us. Why don't we move the capital to the south of the Yangtze River and rest and recuperate?"

Lu Yinchen's forehead twitched twice. Jiangnan?

Isn’t this right next to Gu Wei and the others?

By then, Gu Wei and the others will be in danger.

Absolutely not!

His eyes darkened and he objected, "I don't think so. Not to mention the bumpy journey, the most important thing is that our Beijiang Kingdom is in Shangjing. How can we easily waver?"
