As soon as the new year passes, the first month of the next year comes quietly.

The weather is still bone-chillingly cold.

If Xi Yu remembers correctly, this period happened to be the extremely serious Little Ice Age in history.

And throughout the past dynasties, whenever we encounter a small glacier.

The impact on a series of population, economy, etc. are extremely obvious and emphatic.

These Little Ice Ages basically appeared in the last years of the dynasty.

It first appeared at the turn of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The huge Shang Dynasty was more or less replaced by the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, Xiao Glacier's reason may not be the most serious among them, but he is a very important factor.

The second ice age that followed was the era of the late Han Dynasty.

The Little Glacier brings a series of weather factors.

This was more or less an indirect factor in the Yellow Turban Uprising, which was followed by a melee between princes, killing each other.

This was the last straw that broke the entire Han Dynasty.

The third time was the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in the late Tang Dynasty.

It was also a period of great confusion and darkness.

Whenever there is a Little Ice Age, the population on this land will begin to decline on a large scale.

The Little Ice Age that is closest to later generations is the Little Ice Age of the Ming Dynasty, which continues through time.

Basically, the entire Ming Dynasty was spent during the Little Ice Age.

It may not be obvious at first, but the weather temperature is actually getting lower every year.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the impact of some things, natural disasters and other factors became more intuitive.

The disasters in various places have forced the people to revolt one after another.

In the end, the entire dynasty was brought down by the Little Ice Age.

Of course, perhaps the more important factor in the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the factors of the officials.

Few people think about weather factors.

But Xi Yu, who lives in later generations and has watched and studied it, knows it clearly.

Of the four Little Ice Ages, the Ming Dynasty was actually not the most influential.

The most serious impact was the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the decades-long feudal separatism and the political situation of the Three Kingdoms, it has been difficult for the population during this period to recover.

Although Xiyu has found out things like Shi Nie in advance.

But in the end, this thing only provides some relief.

In the backyard of the opera house, as soon as Xi Yu came out of the house, Cai Yan behind him took the initiative to put his big cloak on Xi Yu.

Cai Yan carefully went back and forth to help Xi Yu sort out the clothes.

Xi Yu couldn't help but glance in the direction of Xuchang Yamen.

The New Year has passed, and although the weather is still a bit cold, the craftsmen in Xuchang City have begun to continue building the imperial capital and some fortifications.

At the same time, the originally planned school also began to be built.

As Xi Yu, who proposed the plan, he is naturally very concerned about school affairs.

"Husband, the weather is a bit cold, please be careful with your health!"

Cai Yan tied up the thin belt on Xi Yu's body, showing a trace of concern on his face.

Xiyu smiled softly.

With his physique, things like cold and heat can only have a minimal impact on him, but he is still extremely useful to his wife's concern.

"Yan'er, don't worry, you don't know about my husband's body yet!"

Xi Yu couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now the school has started to be built.

Once a school is built and wants to recruit students, the most important thing is the school’s teaching staff.

Now, although the noble clans headed by Xuchang Nei are unable to stop Xi Yu's vision for the school.

But as for teachers, they want to make the school fully operational.

The existence of these noble families still has some influence.

In this era, knowledge is ultimately controlled by a few people, and these so-called minorities are naturally the Han gentry today.

"Husband, if you can't find a teacher, I can also..."

Cai Yan raised his head and looked at Xi Yu.

As someone who shares the same bed, she naturally knows how much Xiyu values ​​​​the school.

Now that there seemed to be some obstacles in recruiting teachers, she couldn't help but want to do something to help Xiyu.

Hearing what the person next to him said, Xi Yu turned around and looked at Cai Yan.

Reaching out to put the other person's little hand in the palm of his hand, Xi Yu patted it gently.

"No need to worry, just trust me!"

"Your collection of more than 4,000 books is already a huge help to my husband!"

It has to be said that the collection of books left by Cai Yong is extremely attractive after all.

It will take some time before the school is completed.

He is not in a hurry.

At worst, he could go in and become a teacher by himself, and he could even pull people in like Xun Yu and others.

Xi Yu packed up his clothes and took Dian Wei to the Xu County Yamen Office.

At the same time.

Outside Xuchang City, a very ordinary carriage was slowly passing by the gate of Xuchang.

There was a young man sitting leaning against the carriage, holding a hemp rope in one hand and looking up at the imperial capital in front of him.

“What a nice place!”

The young man murmured something, and the carriage had already crossed the newly built city wall of Xuchang.

"Fengxiao, thank you for your hard work!"

At this moment, a slightly soft voice sounded from inside the carriage.

Hearing the sound, Guo Jia, who was outside the carriage, couldn't help but straightened up.

"Auntie, you're welcome. Since Yuan Zhi entrusted you to me, I will naturally treat you as my mother-in-law. These things are not considered hard work!"

Guo Jia responded to Xu Shu's mother in the carriage, but Guo Jia didn't take it to heart at all.

"There's been no news about Yuan Zhi recently, so I don't know about him!"

Speaking of Xu Shu, Xu's mother in the carriage couldn't help but look a little sad.

My son killed someone and ran away, but now there is no news.

If Guo Jia had not taken care of her in the past few years, it would have been difficult for her as a woman to survive in this troubled world.

"Auntie, don't worry, that boy Yuan Zhi is smart and he must be fine!"

Guo Jia comforted her, but couldn't help but pull down the corners of her mouth.

Damn Xu Shu, he killed someone and ran away. There has been very little news over the years.

Nowadays, the world's situation has changed. Based on his understanding of Xu Shu, that guy must be fine at all.

At first, they agreed to help each other take care of their mother for three years.

Now three years have passed, but there is no news about Xu Shu.

Seeing three years after another, Guo Jia is almost numb.

Originally, he was alone, so he didn't have much pressure. With his family's financial resources, he could still cope with it.

However, in recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and food harvests in various places have begun to fail.

Even with him, it seems that I can’t survive.

What's more, I don't know what has happened in the past two years. The weather in this winter has become colder day by day.

Originally, Guo Jia wanted to wait.

But who told him to hear the news in Yingchuan a few days ago.

Speaking of which, Fengyi actually came up with something like floor heating, which can be like a warm day in the cold winter.
