The snow storm was terrible.

In fact, the capital of Beijing, including the Gyeonggi area, is much better than other places. After all, the capital is rich, even if the common people suffer from disasters, it is under the noses of the emperor and officials, and anything will be quickly arranged and dealt with. After all, there is no shortage of manpower and material resources in the capital.

But even so, there was a tense atmosphere in the capital. Some officials in power and related officials were even more busy and were not at home for several days. They are not only responsible for the capital, nor Gyeonggi, but the entire Great Zhou!

The disaster was the entire northern line of the Great Zhou, and there were some places similar to Shunyang Pass, which were basically closed in winter, and external traffic was completely paralyzed. If the disaster area does not take some measures, how many people will be left in the north when spring begins?

The snowstorm has made rescue very difficult, and in many more places, there is no rescue at all.

While the court was in a state of anxiety, the Tyrannosaurus Rex family was still leisurely vacationing in the south, sitting in the warm sun room, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and drinking fruit wine made by merchants with spring water.

King Pingxi watched and saw Ruan Bai straining wine through a sieve. The color of the wine is slightly green, with a little sweet aroma, more like juice.

"Speaking of which, this fruit wine is also Xiao Er's old business. Most of your stewards have a hand. ”

Fruit, if you want to say how ordinary it is, it will definitely not; But when it comes to how rare it is, it is definitely not more expensive than food. After all, it doesn't matter whether you eat the fruit or not, but it doesn't matter if you don't eat the grain.

In the past, the imperial court limited the amount of sake brewed, and that was because most of the liquor was made from grain, which was very grain-intensive. People can't eat enough, and it would be an absolute disaster if they made sake without limit.

Fruit wine doesn't matter. In the past, in the Thuan Duong area, Nguyen Bai used wild fruits to make wine, and now it has become a local specialty. When you arrive in Lingnan, there are countless kinds of fruits. Some fruits don't taste good when eaten, but when they are made into sake, they taste very good.

"In Erlang's eyes, there is nothing that can't be turned into money." Princess Pingxi can't drink alcohol yet, she uses all kinds of dried fruits to make tea, and she uses a set of glass tea sets, which is not delicate enough, but it looks very good.

Ruan Bai handed the filtered wine to King Pingxi: "If you don't have preparations, this snow disaster will make a fuss, and I'm afraid you will have to start from scratch again." ”

Abandoning the entire eastern market is not without losses for him. Of course, he gave up the ones on the bright line, and some of the original partnerships were transferred to the partners; The charity has not stopped, he has no grudge against those people in the court, and he has no enmity with the ordinary people who make money for him. The time for those arrangements in the dark line is still short, and there are not many people who can get on the track, and most of them are also for him to serve as an intelligence chief, and he doesn't pay much attention to how much money he can make.

The port investment here is a lot of money. Just look at how much money the family has invested to build a port in Lingnan, and you know that it costs a lot of money. Of course, the benefits are definitely not small. Even if we don't talk about the future maritime trade, even the annual goods of the south are a large amount of income, and the cost will be recovered in a few years.

Fortunately, the market in the western region is stable, and the development of the western region has been much faster than that of the eastern region in recent years. Nguyen Bai can still afford to build this port, so he will not be stretched.

Hearing Ruan Bai mention the preparations, the Pingxi Wang couple breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and when they saw Chu Hao coming over, they hurriedly asked, "How is it now?" ”

Chu Hao didn't rush to sit down, first turned over to look at the two cubs, saw that they were sleeping on Xue Xuexue's belly and drooling all over the ground, and gently wiped it off with the small hand towel prepared next to him, before saying, "The loss is not big." Most of the houses have collapsed, and there are places to go, and so far there are only a few frostbitten ones, and no one has died because of the snowstorm. ”

"When the house collapses, it collapses, and the people are fine. There are few people in our west, but we can't afford to die. "In the family, Ruan Bai attaches the most importance to the population. A lot of what he did was to keep the population safe and suzhì.

"Hmm." Chu Hao also agreed, "Most of the collapsed houses are adobe houses, which have been in disrepair for a long time, even if there is no snow disaster, maybe there will be a heavy rain or something, it will collapse." In the spring of this year, let's build more cement houses and live in them. ”

Ruan Bai calculated the remaining money and income in hand: "Okay, you can remind me when the time comes." "He doesn't have a lot of money on hand, and he has a lot more to spend, but who has ever heard that there is a builder in a country? In the early years, many of the builders were white wolves with empty gloves, and there was no problem for him to learn properly.

"Dad, the medical station and veterinary station will also be popularized in the coming year." Chu Hao turned his head at his father, "This snow disaster, the tables of several medical stations are not bad. Medicines such as frostbite medicine are well prepared. The evacuation facilities will have to be expanded a little more next year, and this year will have to be completed. In the end, there are fewer places suitable for growing grain in our western region, but we can raise some livestock. Veterinary stations are essential. ”

Nguyen Bai will make money and will spend money. Medical stations, veterinary stations, and especially evacuation facilities are a lot of investment. His request was that each village should have one, which should also store enough food and drinking water, as well as other necessary daily necessities, and should be checked regularly; In addition, he also worked with some officials to compile a booklet on how to escape in the face of various disasters and ordered the government to preach. These two items are directly linked to political performance, and they don't talk about it at all.

For this, King Binh Thi owed Ruan Bai a lot of money. Now it's worth it.

When the money is gone, you can make it again, and when the people are gone, it will be over-this is Ruan Bai's long-standing philosophy, and now the Pingxi Wang family is also deeply influenced by him.

After such a snowstorm, in the eyes of the common people, the government in the west is no longer simply "the one who collects taxes", but gradually has the recognition of the parents and officials.

In recent years, the common people are not blind to what local officials have done, and they have all seen it. Even if you don't see the officials, the improvement of your own quality of life is real.

In this snow disaster, in addition to the government's adequate preparation and timely response, there is another group of people who are active, that is, the merchant group.

The status of merchants in the Great Zhou has not been high. No matter how much money they make, there are strict restrictions on what they can wear and eat. If a businessman is bullied and wants to file a lawsuit, he will be stripped of three layers of skin by the government before he can seek justice.

However, since Hu Shang followed Ruan Bai to do business for a few years, he found that he was respected when he walked out of the door, and even some local officials were polite to him. It's not because his backstage status has risen, but because of what he does has benefited the people in the place.

After learning that some people had made him an immortal tablet, he suddenly felt a little weak.

That's right, what he did was to make many ordinary people live a better life than before, but he also made money! He hired the common people to do things, paid them wages, and gave them New Year's gifts, what a natural thing.

That's right, he arranged for a doctor to check the health of the employees every year, and also helped some of the employees with practical difficulties; But isn't that to make them work harder?

Besides, these arrangements were all made by Ruan Bai. Mr. Ruan has done more, and he has also taught literacy to the school!

This time the snow disaster, he didn't have much impact in Xijing. However, some of his sources are miserable.

He couldn't rest assured, so he called a few businessmen who were doing business with Ruan Bai, summed it up together, and decided on the spot to follow the government to relieve the disaster!

In terms of numbers, they are definitely not as large as the government can call, but in terms of money, food, medicinal materials, clothing, etc., they will not be short of anything.

"You don't need too good things for disaster relief, and those merchants under your hands have cleared some inventory that can't be sold." Chu Hao told Ruan Baiyi what he had learned, "Thanks to them, this snow disaster lasted for a long time, and the materials originally prepared were not enough. They also rescued the people of the government a few times on the way, and now they are acting together with the people of the government. ”

The merchants had sleds, and moving around the snow was not much hindered. It's not difficult for the government to get a few sleigh cars, but the difficulty is that they don't have dogs to pull them.

Malamutes are not just any dog that can do the job. They have to be strong and stamina, but they can't be too heavy......

Chu Hao glanced at the big fat man who came over with disgust, dragged it up and hugged it: "If the big fat can't pull the car, otherwise he will fall into the snow before he pulls it." ”

"Woohoo!" Da Fat is now bigger than the third child, and he is taller than Ruan Bai when he stands up, and it is no longer the time for puppies to be picked up and hugged casually. Leng Buding was picked up by Chu Hao, and it was startled by itself, and howled dryly.

The big fat screamed a few times and found that it was nothing, so he simply put his front paws on Chu Hao's shoulder, stretched out his tongue and licked Chu Hao a few times.

Chu Hao was licked by it, he was very disgusted, and wanted to let go of the big fat, but the big fat didn't do it, so he had to be on him.

Ruan Bai looked straight and smiled: "It's rare to be coquettish when you're fat." "The fat people in the family, the third and fourth are the best, they can do anything. Chubby can graze, Xuexue is proficient in all-terrain combat, and Fat Ball ...... Fat balls are proficient in spoiling......

Big Fat has the style of a father, but he always looks like "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you", or he is a "mortal with fish lips".

Pingxi Wang and his wife also laughed: "It's so old, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Whew!"

"Okay, let the eldest lady bring you back the beautiful daughter-in-law on the grassland!" Stepping on the snow and sinking or something, it was all Chu Hao's nonsense. People are originally the overlords of the grassland, and hunting in the snow is simply instinctive, what is it to pull a car!

"Whew!"

Ruan Bai and Chu Hao were originally sitting next to each other, but the big fat changed his posture and lay directly on the lap of the two people...... Can't lie down!

The big fat four-legged ground, belly against the knees of the two, felt uncomfortable, flicked his tail and ran away to see the little cub, looked down and sniffed, fatter than his younger brother......
