    Xiahetun is not far from the county seat of Changli County. It is only a few dozen miles away and is on the road connecting the two.

    Liu Jin admired everything of this era with great interest. There was no industrial pollution, the sky was blue, and it was the golden autumn season, and the mountains and fields were all red.

    ¡°It¡¯s a crisp autumn day, but the temperature is indeed a bit cold, and the power of the Little Ice Age is still a bit strong.¡±

    A gust of cool wind blew, and Liu Jin couldn't help but wrap up his clothes tightly.

    It was only the ninth month of the lunar calendar at this time. In later generations, this time would be the most comfortable season of the year. But now, affected by the extreme cold of the Little Ice Age, this temperature is almost equivalent to the midwinter lunar month in later generations. It is worth it  Fortunately it didn't snow, otherwise it would have been much worse.

    "There will definitely be a disaster next year. If the temperature is too cold, although this wheat is cold-resistant, there is a limit. If the temperature is too low and the winter lasts too long, next year's wheat harvest will probably be impossible."

    Liu Jin looked at the busy farmers in the fields, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart.

    It has been some time since he traveled to this era. Liu Jin is very clear about the people at the bottom of this era. They are almost always struggling in the most marginal areas. Once they encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, they will immediately be unable to survive.

    Almost every household has little savings and little food. They only hope for good weather and good harvests every year to sustain themselves.

    The Little Ice Age had a great impact on agriculture. It was not just a drop in temperature, but more importantly, the winter lasted too long, seriously affecting the growth of crops. Without a certain temperature, even if crops can grow, their  Yield will also be greatly affected.

    In itself, in this era, agriculture depends on the weather, and there is no technology at all. The harvest is very low, and you have to endure exploitation. You don¡¯t have enough to eat, you don¡¯t have warmth, you don¡¯t have enough to live on, and there are all kinds of problems.  There will be endless ones.

    There were various reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, among which the impact of the Little Ice Age was also a very important one. Because of the arrival of the Little Ice Age, agriculture was greatly affected, and coupled with land annexation, taxes were gradually concentrated.  to the working people at the bottom.

    This eventually led to one after another peasant uprisings, which could not be suppressed no matter how hard they were suppressed, because more and more people could not survive. Serious internal worries, coupled with foreign invasions from the north and southern coasts, eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.  .

    "Alas~"

    ¡°When you travel through time, you always have to do something.¡±

    Liu Jin sighed softly and looked at the busy farmers in the fields along the way. These people, like the villagers in Xiahetun, were all honest and honest. They only wanted to survive with their own hands, as long as they could be satisfied.  There is no problem with this wish, whether it is a cow or a horse.

    However, such a simple and simple wish has gradually turned into a luxury in this era. The most important land is slowly concentrated in the hands of a few people.

    "Once these simple people can no longer live, they will either die in silence or explode in silence, and finally it will be a new beginning.

    Although China¡¯s thousands of years of history are bright and dazzling, it can never break away from this cycle.

    Liu Jin was thinking a lot, but Zhao Erhu, who was following Liu Jin, was all smiles. He followed Liu Jin in the county town and had a full meal of delicious dumplings today.

    What¡¯s more important is that there are several kilograms of pork in the basket he is carrying. Liu Jin said that he would eat pork at night and eat large pieces of braised pork. Thinking of this, Zhao Erhu couldn¡¯t help but salivate.

    It had been a long, long time since he had eaten meat. It had been so long that he had forgotten what meat tasted like. As he walked, he would look at the pork in the basket from time to time. He suddenly felt full of strength and wished he could go back and eat earlier.  Serve braised pork.

    "Brother Jin, it's true. If these ribs are so delicious, I might as well buy more fat."

    Seeing a few ribs on the side, Zhao Erhu didn't understand why Brother Jin wanted to buy something that no one wanted.

    The pork ribs have no meat, and they have no fat. They have always been the most important thing that no one wants. It is rare to eat meat. It is really impossible to buy this bone.

    When the sun set and night fell, Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu finally returned to Xiahetun.

    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back~¡±

    As soon as he entered his small courtyard, Liu Jin couldn't help but scream.

    "Did you encounter anything on the way? I don't know if I'll come back early."

    &nbspIn the yard of his home, Zhao Heishan saw Liu Jin who was busy setting the table and said with a smile.

    "Uncle Heishan, Brother Dahu~"

    "Didn't I say that all of your family should come over? Erhu, please go over again and call everyone over. I cooked a lot of rice today. If you don't eat it, it will go rancid."

    Liu Jin looked at Zhao Heishan, Zhao Dahu, and Zhao Erhu, and quickly gave instructions to Zhao Erhu.

    "Brother Jin, we appreciate your kindness. There is no reason for the whole family to come over to eat together."

    When Zhao Heishan heard this, he said quickly.

    "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a meal. Erhu, hurry up and call your aunt and sister-in-law. My mother can't do it alone. They all said they would have a meal together."

    Liu Jin said repeatedly and pushed Zhao Erhu. Zhao Erhu looked at Zhao Heishan blankly, very afraid of Zhao Heishan.

    "Uncle Heishan, it's really okay, otherwise I would go and invite you personally."

    Liu Jin looked at Zhao Heishan and said helplessly.

    "Go ahead and ask them to come over and help."

    Zhao Heishan looked at Liu Jin, nodded to Zhao Erhu and said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
