Shi Lang remembered deeply that before he crossed, he went to university outside the country, rushed home during the New Year, and did not catch a car. He was sitting in the ice and snow, eating steamed buns, shivering while waiting.
It was so cold.
It's cold now, it's really nothing to him. However, the British Island is located in a temperate zone and is mild throughout the year, and it is normal for it not to resist cold.
But...
"Are you a magician? Wouldn't it be enough to perform a magic trick to keep yourself warm?" Shi Lang asked.
"But I don't want to chant spells... I'm only shivering now, and it's easy to bite my tongue." Merlin said.
Shi Lang sneered and said, "Do you think you will let you rest on this excuse? It doesn't exist! No matter how cold the weather is, as long as the planet doesn't explode, you have to keep working for me."
Merlin: "..."
Careful thinking was exposed!
Shi Lang brought a quilt and put it on Mei Lin's body, and said, "When you get warm, give yourself a warming technique, and then give me a continuation, work, and work!"
"Woo..."
Merlin cried.
Why is this person so hard to fool?
Sitting back in his seat, Shi Lang continued to look at the government affairs.
He has been on the throne for more than two months, some institutional frameworks have been established, and projects are advancing steadily.
Lucan and others are not a waste. After Shirou taught the concepts and taught the specific implementation methods, although they have not fully understood them yet, they can already be used.
Shi Lang listed his one-year development plan, mainly focusing on the training of officials and the cohesion of the national spirit. The rest is the tight grasp of the production industry.
Although the country in the ancient century, although the conventional means of magic way existed, the productivity of the general country was indeed lagging behind. So it's right to focus on productivity.
In terms of grain storage, the grain promised by King Ban has already arrived, but the consumption of more than two months, even with careful calculations, will almost bottom out.
However, it doesn't matter. The crops that Camelot cultivated and sown have been growing for more than two months, and the surplus should be able to be delayed until the winter wheat matures.
Together, the enthusiasm is high.
Even in this cold day, it can't stop a fiery and struggling heart.
However--
"It's not good, my king!" Lucan walked in anxiously.
"What's so flustered, Lucan?" Shi Lang put down the file in his hand and looked at Lucan.
"Our crops...our crops..." Lucan's tone was trembling, and he almost cried and said, "Our crops are almost frozen to death!"
"You...what did you say!?"
Shi Lang was shocked and stood up, staring at Lucan.
"It's too cold...the crops...the crops are all frozen to death!" Lucan cried.
Boom!
Shi Lang's facial muscles twitched like a thunderbolt in a clear sky.
He said solemnly: "Lead the way...Take me to see!"

Sunday, February 21, 1999.
Hot pot restaurant in Dongmu City, Xindu.
The air-conditioning and heating that were turned on dissipated the cold outside the house, and it was hot.
The waiter brought two cups of hot tea, Shen Er and Yicheng thanked them, holding them in both hands, warming them up on the warm tea cups with cold hands.
"Will Mrs. Wei Gong really come, Shinji?" Kazu Cheng asked.
"Yes. I have troubled her. She said she would come over and tell me about the relationship between the Knight King and the Eternal King." Shen Er nodded.
"It's really rare... I remember you said that this wife and Mr. Eiko, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, were your father's mortal enemies, right?" Kazu Cheng said.
"It's nothing more than the old days. People want to look forward. I don't intend to inherit the resentment of my father's generation, and say that it is a mortal enemy. In fact, my father has not cared about the Holy Grail War at all. He only hates Yanfeng Qili, but he But he died in the Fourth Holy Grail War again."
Shinji pushed his glasses and said, "The most important thing is that Mrs. Eomiya has been in contact with the Knight King, which is very helpful to my thesis."
"The King of Eternity... Regarding the king who split the line between the ancient and the Middle Ages, didn't Britain have many related papers? I know you are going to study in Britain, but even if you write about this king, You may not please those professors, right? After all, there are too many papers written by this Wang." Yicheng asked.
"Those are all outlines. What I want to write is meticulous, and you can see the high compelling character at a glance, so that you can win the favor of those professors." Shen Er pushed his glasses.
"That's nothing to write about, right? He did leave a lot of things, many of which are even useful for modern society. But his suffering doesn't seem to be much, right? The army in Cornwall seems to have only the original food. Difficult, and this was traded from the European continent by the king's mine." Yicheng said.
"It's not that simple." Shen Er said: "I will investigate carefully. The period of this king happened to be the stage of the Little Ice Age at the cross of the centuries! The disasters of the Little Ice Age, I don't need to say much, this is almost all ancient times. The most feared natural disasters in agriculture-based countries. More importantly, before the Little Ice Age, Europe had a suitable environment for hundreds of years, and there were few famine years and starvation. The Arctic ice was far in the north, and there was no experience in fighting the Little Ice Age. . But the time when the Eternal King is at is the ** stage of the Little Ice Age!"
After a pause, Shinji continued: “Due to the ice age, winter becomes colder, fish schools change the migration path, and the lives of fishermen and farmers have become difficult. The weather is abnormally cold, wars, famines and epidemics... these are not. Just one sentence in history, a bumper harvest in the coming year, can explain things. History only records the results, and people only look at the results, but what I want to write is the process! And this is what attracts the attention of the professor!"
The waiter brought the butter hot pot and lit the electric stove.
Scented.
There were also waiters who brought dishes such as beef, lamb, potatoes and other meat and vegetable dishes, which were very rich in style.
"Should we make the pot first?"
"I remember that you ate a bowl of instant noodles in the afternoon? You were hungry so quickly? Wait, wait for Mrs. Wei Gong. It would be impolite to just move the chopsticks like this."
"However, since it was the Little Ice Age, how did the King Eternal survive? I remember, this king didn't get much food in exchange for mines, right?"
"Not much. According to the European planting history in the ancient century, it was divided into spring plowing and winter plowing. The King Eternal exchanged for food before winter plowing, and encountered the Little Ice Age. To be honest, he could survive...and that The magical way of the times is very powerful, and there should be gods too? I doubt whether there is a **** helping him..."
"Going to theology again? I don't care about your thesis. I order chicken rice crackers first, I am a little hungry..."
...
...
Winter is here.
Shirou never thought that this winter would be so cold and so long.
