Chapter 578 (1/2)

The ice and snow on the ground creaked under the rolling of the wheels.

Last night's cold wind, the snow on the ground has already become ice, after countless vehicles rolling, gradually become muddy.

In the morning, there were no pedestrians on the streets of the imperial capital, but the early traders had to walk back and forth in the cold wind, pushing cars. Teams of soldiers in the security office, wearing leather boots and white breath in their mouths, walked back and forth with their heads down.

This year's winter is particularly cold, some elderly people can't help sighing, as if in memory, the emperor has never been so cold.

The snow covered the city again and again, and even the Lancang canal was frozen. At the wharf, a fleet of naval ships stationed in the imperial capital had already sent out icebreakers with pointed wood in the bow to patrol the river to break the ice and ensure the smooth flow of the river.

The river transport workers are busy almost every day. Although the financial department has paid off a lot of money and food, and also sent out chills to the workers of the river transport department, many people are still suffering from frostbite these days.

This day, it's too cold.

In the past, the coldest time in winter was just a little snow or two. This year's continuous heavy snow has never been seen for generations.

The owners of the shops of the major families in the imperial capital are worried day by day. Because the road is blocked by snow, the caravans of many chambers of commerce are blocked on the road. For a moment, many things in the city are going up in price.

Fortunately, the river is still struggling to support. But the cargo ships are still less and less day by day. It is said that the river course in the East was frozen again yesterday. Two icebreakers of the river transport department were frozen on the river course. The ice on the river is hard enough to run horses!

With an order from the commander-in-chief, Lord camisillo, two divisions were deployed from the garrison of the imperial city near the imperial capital, together with the local garrison of the nearby towns. A total of about 100000 troops were deployed.

In this cold weather, these soldiers dropped their weapons, took off their armor, wore cotton padded clothes and carried shovels. It's turned into a labor force cleaning snow roads.

When it was the first day of snow, we didn't pay much attention to it. The rare heavy snow made many people feel fresh, but with the continuous snow, life became a little sad.

In the imperial capital and several nearby Acropolis, the price of grain land rose by 30% in three days, and by the fifth day. Even the price of vegetables has doubled. As for meat, let alone meat.

Evil door! What a hell of an evil family!

The residents of every imperial capital have this idea.

In the Imperial Palace, the wise Regent issued a series of decrees. This year, several batches of money and grain from the southern provinces were transferred to the imperial capital, and the garrison troops from all over the country were sent out to clear the roads.

This day. Just like this year's National Games, people can't help but feel uneasy.

In front of the war, although there have been intermittent small wins, but those monster races. But he never retreated. After a few months of fighting, he was still fighting. Gradually, some people with more flexible minds began to think: this battle is not small. Maybe a year? two years?

Some old people began to recall the great battle between the Empire and the northwest grassland twenty years ago. It was the largest and most protracted war in decades.

The bad weather, coupled with the shortage of supplies. Let people's hearts, but also a little floating.

I heard that this year's new year's ceremony, even the usual fireworks celebration in previous years, has been cancelled.

This news is true. In previous years, the Empire would purchase a large number of fireworks from the tulip family industry by means of official procurement. But this year, there was a clear message from the palace that the Regent himself said: the war ahead is urgent. This is the time of the festival. It's not suitable for the atmosphere. This year, it's not.

Such an order made little Zach, the chief commercial manager of tulip family, scowl and watch the income on the account book lose more than 100000 gold coins.

That's all right... Anyway, all the big businesses in the imperial capital are living with their belts. The roads are blocked and the supply of goods from all over the country can't get in. Everyone is making compensation. It's nothing more than more compensation and less compensation. Tulip family is rich and powerful, so throwing a little money doesn't hurt the imprisonment. Even the fur doesn't count.

But let small Zach helpless is his boss!

Our Duke of tulip, it seems that his mind has been more and more difficult to guess since he got sick.

In the past, little Zach was convinced of duvet's decision, because it turned out that the young Duchess was a money collector. When he came up with an idea or something, he was rolling in gold coins.

But in the second half of this year... The money is only spent but not earned... This is not quite right.

The Duchess seems to have little interest in making money, and no more ideas or new inventions can be found. Seeing the suspicion of losing money, his little Zach is the emperor. He is not in a hurry to be a eunuch (OK, there is no Eunuch in the world). But he is a worker who is in a hurry all day long. He is a boss but he is leisurely. He seems to be a carefree man. Is that a bit strange?

The year-end liquidation of this year's harvest, if not in the first half of the year to do what the martial arts contest, relying on gambling and ticket revenue to earn a lot, I'm afraid this year's revenue will become a deficit.

Little Zach had already gone to see Dewey several times. Every time the Duchess heard his own nagging, he was full of words and impatient: ”money, what do you want so much for. Can't I afford to pay for it? ”

It's affordable to pay for it. With the wealth of the boss, even if he has paid for it for ten years, he may not be bankrupt. But as the chief manager of business, if you always pay for it, where do you put your face?

Every year, everyone would arrange a term in private to calculate this year's harvest among the rich chambers of Commerce in the imperial capital. Dewey knew it a long time ago. At that time, the Duchess said with a smile: is this the Forbes rich list?

In previous years, there was little Zac, the elite of the tulip family. Since its rise, the tulip family has been at the top of the list every year. Little Zach was also regarded as the God of wealth by the people of the imperial capital.

But this year, with the war, the tulip family has also been involved in this weapon business in recent years. But after all, it's not as solid as that guy in Delan mountain. The Empire expanded its army and ordered weapons and equipment on a large scale. As a result, at the end of this year, the fat man of Mt. Delan finally turned over. This year's income finally pushed the tulip family down to the top.

Naturally, the fat man was proud, and he deliberately set up a banquet at home to treat the guests to dinner. Although there is a good relationship between the tulip family and mount Delan Warcraft. But this kind of face also cares. Let little Zach see, I can't help feeling a little weak.

In my heart, I have some complaints about Dewey's ”not doing his job”.

These days, Du Wei is not doing his job properly.

Especially... After the two ”Duchess” came to the imperial capital.

”To the left... To the right... Well, a little more to the left... Ouch, down! A little more down! Ah... Yes. Here it is. Use some strength... ”

Dewey didn't sit in a wheelchair, but he was lying on a soft sheet and his clothes were rolled up. Show a bare back.

In this room, in the fireplace, it's burning. All the carpets on the floor were scorched. The wall is a sandwich wall designed by Dewey himself, which imitates the thermal insulation wall he knew before. And the foundation under the house is also covered with a layer of interlayer.

As soon as the fireplace burned, the heat penetrated into the interlayer, making the whole house warm as spring. It's snowy outside, but it's so warm inside that it only needs to wear small clothes.

Now the Duchess was lying on the soft floor, smiling and squinting. Groaning in the mouth.

Next to him, Joe, with a worried face, put his hand on Dewey's back and tickled his man with his slender fingers.

Hate this guy ”up and down left and right” barking, but finally made Miss Qiao annoyed. Leng buting suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily, ”I think you are deliberately sending me to play!”

Let's go. He kicked it up.

Dewey grinned. He leaned over and reached for Joe's ankle. Gently a pull, Qiao Qiao immediately based on instability, the whole person fell into the arms of Du Wei. Du Wei moved to the soft collapse, and then he took Joe in his arms, gave her a kiss on the face, and said with a smile, ”good Joe, is it so impatient to scratch your husband's back?”

The fire made Joe blush. He didn't know whether he was shy or steaming. He gave Du Wei a watery look with his eyes and said: ”you guy, you just don't have a good heart...”

Just said half, but immediately exclaimed, eyebrow between show a bit of shame anger. It turned out that while she was talking, Dewey had already gone in with one hand along her skirt.

Qiao Qiao twisted his body, frowned, and his voice took some small gasps. He said bitterly, ”are you well? Tease me again

This made duverton's mind fade. He gave a wry smile, drew back his hand, held Joe's waist, sighed, and his face was full of annoyance. He said: ”Damn, I can't live this day!”

It's impossible. It's impossible!

Two beautiful little wives, or sisters, come to see themselves from a long distance. The so-called long absence is better than newlyweds. But these days, they have been recuperating day by day, night by night, and back and forth, but their damned health is still not getting better.

He's tired of sitting in a wheelchair. That's all. But looking at the two little wives around, but can't eat this crime, which man can stand it?

Although it's good to take advantage of the hand and foot once in a while, it's much cheaper than the hand and foot, but on the contrary, it makes the whole body fire

”I feel the pain of eunuch at last.” Dewey sighed.

Just then, the door opened and a pretty shadow came in slowly.

Vivian has a snow-white fox fur robe on her body. The soft and white fox fur hides her small face inside. The original delicate face is even more moving against the snow-white fox fur.

As soon as Vivian entered the door, she saw Dewey and Joe rolling on the ground. Can't help but face a red, standing at the door on Leng for a while, as if some at a loss.

As soon as Du Wei saw Vivian, he immediately received an amnesty and called out: ”come here, my little silly girl, your sister bullied me, the disabled!”
