[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

It wasn't until Kangxi's back disappeared from sight that Jiang Ling suddenly came back to his senses.

She closed her eyes, disappeared with the swing, and returned to the phoenix tree.There are still clusters of phoenix flowers in front of me, and the faint fragrance lingers in the dream, and it is hard to tell whether it is illusion or reality.The people below dispersed in twos and threes, only the mess left.

When I was creating the dream just now, I accidentally brought in all the people within a radius of 100 meters.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, and flicked his two fingers again, and in an instant, two pedestrians disappeared on the street.The others continued with their own business as if they hadn't seen it.Then came the third, fourth, and fifth... In the real world, people who were still taking a nap with their eyes closed rubbed their eyes, thinking that they were too sleepy and dazzled, and continued with their work.

Pedestrians in the real world woke up one by one, and people in the dream disappeared one by one.

When the street in the dream was empty and there was no one else, Jiang Ling heard a clear quarrel from the mansion:

"I've asked those merchants from all over the world, and they all have no, yes, half, point, interest, interest in those foreign gadgets! A while ago, there was a merchant who wanted to buy a clock, but after knocking it lightly, it was gone. Knocking down that clock is not extorting people. You are all parents and officials in charge of a place. Tell me, what are those foreign gadgets that waste people’s money and money, what are they imported for? According to me, tariffs Thirty times more should be added, collected once upon arrival, once when transported to various provinces, and again when bought and sold, so as not to waste their high price.”

"Master Zhao is wrong. These taxes will eventually be added to the goods."

"You, you are not those Westerners, how do you know?"

"I have lived in Guangzhou for three years, and I have dealt with them for three years. How could I not know?"

"Master Gu, this is wrong. Let's ask Ming Zhongtang to judge. Zhongtang, you say, whether this tariff should be collected or not. Let's discuss the items of this transaction. According to me, the items they sell They are all tricks! None of them work. If you want to sell them, you might as well buy more rice from Nanyang. It’s just that those big grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will not be happy about it. I heard that there are still disasters in some provinces in the north, why don't you send them more food? Is that what you mean? I'll tell you today, unless it's snowing in June, this matter will never end."

"I... am not you..."

Jiang Ling sat on the tree and listened for a while, then suddenly smiled softly.

Snow in June?

It's still the end of June, but Blizzard? ...

She looked down at her fingertips, a wisp of faint mist lingered, forming a few simple rings, still breathing a little bit of cold.Since obtaining this strange ability, she hasn't used it on a large scale.I just don't know, if a June blizzard is created on a large scale in this city of Guangzhou, what consequences will it cause?

Those Westerners all believe in God.

Jiang Ling looked down at the officials, tapped the branches lightly, and those people left in a flick of their sleeves. The moment they walked out the door, they disappeared into the air and woke up in the real world.After they all disappeared, Jiang Ling let out a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and woke up in the room.

The sun is still strong outside, and the midsummer heat is lingering.

Jiang Ling leaned on the back of the chair, looking at the wisps of white mist wrapped around his fingertips, he couldn't help but smiled slightly.

She really wanted to make a June blizzard.

Jiang Ling took a look at the sunlight outside, it was still strong and dazzling, with the unique heat of the southern country.The maids who were dozing just now straightened up, some were shaking their fans, and some were covering their cheeks with cold water to cool off.She opened the door and went out, said to the surrounding maids: "I'm going to the toilet, you don't have to follow me." Then she left alone.

Although the smell in the latrine is relatively unpleasant, the safety factor is first-class.

Jiang Ling closed her eyes, a wisp of white mist wrapped around her fingertips, spread out circles around her fingertips, and condensed into tiny grains of frost in an instant.Frost flew like snowflakes, but within a moment, it was melted into rain.

The sunlight here is too strong, even if you want to create a June blizzard, it is quite difficult.

Jiang Ling looked up at the sky, calculated the speed at which the rain and snow would melt, and then closed his eyes again, setting off a fiercer storm.The ice particles were engulfed by the strong wind, and under the action of anti-gravity, they were gradually lifted to the highest altitude, where they condensed into a thick layer of clouds.Gradually, the sunlight was no longer so strong, and even the surrounding temperature dropped, and it began to rain heavily.

She looked up at the sky, silently calculated the speed at which the rain and snow would melt, and set off the third storm.

The third storm was much more violent than the previous two. The green leaves swirled and fell, clusters of phoenix flowers were swept into the air, and then slowly drifted down, turning into a colorful rain of flowers.The raindrops outside became heavier, and there were even some small ice particles mixed in them. It didn't look like it was snowing, but it looked like hailstones.

Jiang Ling rubbed his chest and took a little breath.Calling the ability three times in a row, her consumption is too great.

It was raining heavily outside, and the screams of the maids could still be heard.The thin summer shirt was drenched in the rain, and occasionally some small ice particles hit the body, which hurt a little.Jiang Ling closed his eyes, pulled out all the abilities in his body, and created the fourth and biggest storm.

Thin white frost, like a sandstorm, swayed layer by layer with her as the center.

Thick clouds blocked the sunlight, and the hailstorm just now dropped the temperature directly to winter.The fourth storm was more violent than the previous three. The cold wind carried snowflakes and whizzed through the streets and alleys, sweeping across the entire city of Guangzhou in an instant.

Within a radius of twenty miles, there was a vast expanse of white snow.

Jiang Ling slowly opened his eyes, his complexion was as pale as paper, with no trace of blood in sight.

She walked out of the latrine, leaned against a banyan tree and panted slightly, and soon her shoulders were covered with snowflakes.The maids seemed to be frightened by the snow, and there were screams one after another in the yard.Jiang Ling closed his eyes and stood there for a long time before recovering little by little, and walked slowly towards the room.

The maids were screaming one after another, but no one noticed her expression.

Jiang Ling smiled, went back to the room, wrapped herself tightly in the sheets, staring at her eyes, it was obviously a symptom of severe exhaustion.

The snow scene outside lasted for a full two hours before it slowly melted into snow water in the eyes of everyone.The thick layer of dark clouds in the sky also dissipated little by little, and the blazing sun once again shone on the land, drying up all traces on the ground.The maids, servants, pedestrians, mules and horses who were still screaming just now stopped in their tracks and looked out one by one.

"What happened just now?"

"It seems to be snowing."

"Is it snowing in June?"

"It's really strange..."

The maids discussed in twos and threes for a while, and then went back to the house, ready to wait for Jiang Ling's order.Jiang Ling lay sideways on the bed with her eyes closed, her whole body ached as if being crushed by a boulder, and she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers.

"Go outside and have a look." Jiang Ling said hoarsely, "Is there any movement?"

The maids took orders to go, and came back to report after a while. The people on the street were in a mess. Some thanked Guanyin Buddha for his blessings, some knelt on the ground and mourned their injustice, and two adults stood in front of the mansion. , his face was livid, and he didn't know what he was talking about.When they came back, they also saw two high-nosed Westerners, holding a silver cross in their hands, chanting something to the West, but they didn't know whether they were singing poems or praying.

Jiang Ling smiled, waved his hands and said, "Go down." The voice was still weak.

The maids thought she was going to take a nap, so they closed the door and went out.Jiang Ling closed his eyes, and a faint fragrance spread from his fingertips, but it was more than a thousand times weaker than the fragrance of flowers this afternoon.That ray of fragrance slowly dissipated and floated outside the wall, just bumping into a pedestrian who had just passed by.The passer-by rubbed his eyes and felt a little sleepy, so he found a teahouse on the street and sat down to doze off.

In the pedestrian's dream, Jiang Ling clearly saw the scene outside.

It really was a panic.

She smiled secretly, shattered the dream, returned to the real world, closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while.

It was already evening when she woke up, and the maids were preparing dinner for her.Jiang Ling had no appetite, so he simply used some and asked them to take everything away.Kangxi came back earlier this evening than in the past, and judging by his expression, it seemed that he had solved a major matter.

"Things are actually settled." Kangxi still couldn't believe it until now.

After the heavy snowfall just now, the official who was clamoring for [-] times the tariff in the morning, prohibiting merchant ships from going north, and only allowing [-] Westerners to enter each year, immediately fell silent.All the officials in the hall were shivering from the cold, bluntly saying that Guangzhou City has never seen such a heavy snowfall in the past hundred years, not to mention that it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when the weather is the hottest.After the snow stopped, they went out to see that besides their own people, there were a few more priests holding crosses and muttering words. The two Westerners they saw yesterday were also among them, all of them were pale, shouting that the end of the world was coming. up.

"it was god' warning."

"land cursed by god."

The priests chanted these two sentences repeatedly, their faces pale, and the silver cross in their hands was trembling slightly.

Kangxi learned the meaning of these two sentences from the translators, smiled slightly, and walked forward, intending to have a chat with them.But those Westerners were all trembling, and when facing Kangxi, they also showed a little more respect.

Not every emperor can face God's punishment without changing his face.

Two Westerners discussed for a while and decided temporarily, agreeing to the harsh additional conditions proposed earlier.

After all, in such a place where "god's warning" exists, it is better to be cautious.

God knows why these Orientals are not afraid of God's punishment.

So this time the negotiation went extremely smoothly, and it only took a total of one afternoon to finalize all the controversial details.There are two Western envoys who intend to leave immediately to return home and submit this news to the Parliament for decision.And those Nanyang envoys are already planning to take people to the south of the Yangtze River to continue their transactions with those wealthy businessmen.

Kangxi held Jiang Ling in his arms, picked out some insignificant words, mentioned them to her slightly, and then sighed: "But I don't know whether this snowstorm in June is a good omen or a warning. Several officials They kept saying that it was the Mazu in the South China Sea who sent flying snow to show them not to mess around. I have already passed on the word that when I pass by Mount Tai on the return journey, I will sacrifice to the sky again. I hope..."

Kangxi paused for a moment before saying:

"I hope everything goes as I wish."
