Although he was caught off guard by the sudden heavy snow, Zhao Huan did not lose his square inch like those ministers in the court.

Compared with the frequency of natural disasters almost several times a year during the Chongzhen period, the snow in Jingkang's five years is obviously a bit unsightly.

The Praetorian guards guarding the palace were the first to receive the order—except for those who were to guard the palace, the rest of the Praetorian Guards were ordered to clear a road from the palace to the garrisons outside the city within two hours, at all costs.

At all costs, these six words have a hint of ruin. In particular, the requirements of these six words were written by Zhao Huan on the holy decree.

Then, the armies responsible for guarding Bianjing City received Zhao Huan's order - the First Army of the Ban was under military control of Bianjing, and the Second Army and the Third Army were responsible for distributing grain and firewood to the people inside and outside Bianjing City respectively. The First Army of the Xiang Army was sent to cut trees and chop wood, while the Second and Third Armies of the Xiang Army were responsible for clearing the snow in Bianjing.

As for the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, they were assigned the duty of leading the way and patrolling the streets.

……

"I'm running out of food."

Carefully filled a little rice with a scoop, Gu Dacheng's mother-in-law said in a low voice: "It's snowing outside these days, and there is no place to buy food, so I can only save a little first." ”

Gu Dacheng hummed with his head sullen, turned around and picked up the broom, and said, "I'll go sweep the snow in the yard, and when the snow stops, I'll go buy food." ”

Gu Dacheng's mother-in-law shook her head and said, "Don't panic about buying food. Now that the heavy snow is closing the city, the price of grain on the streets of Bianjing City will definitely rise, and it is better to wait for a period of time to close the warehouse and release the grain before buying. ”

Gu Dacheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "How does the lady know that Chang Ping will release grain?" ”

Gu Dacheng's mother-in-law laughed lightly and said: "When the official family went to the New Year, people set up a regular position, and this year is just in time for this heavy snowfall. The officials waited with a relaxed heart, as long as there was no food in the regular closing position, this grain release was inevitable. ”

Gu Dacheng nodded, and after a hum, he went out of the house, and swept up the snow in the yard with all his thoughts.

Gu Dacheng knows very well in his heart that his brain is stupid, and he doesn't have the brains of this mother-in-law at home - although his mother-in-law is a butcher's daughter, this mother-in-law has a smart mind, and she is much more calculating than her own sour talent who didn't even pass the exam a few times.

If you don't always kneel on the washboard, it will be more perfect.

Gu Dacheng thought so in his heart, and unconsciously used three more points of strength in his heart, as if he had the meaning of treating the snow as his mother-in-law's ass - if you ask me to kneel on the washboard, I will spank your ass!

Thorn-pull, thorn-pull, and the broom waving back and forth rolled up the snow on the ground, and slowly piled it up into a small pile. Gu Dacheng sighed helplessly. This snow was just swept yesterday afternoon, and now it has piled up so much, and I don't know when it will be the end.

However, before Gu Dacheng could come up with a clue, there was a noise of people shouting and neighing horses in the distance outside the courtyard.

Gu Dacheng's heart moved, walked quickly to the door, and stretched out his hand to open the courtyard door.

On the street outside the courtyard, because of the snow for several days, the snow pressure has been extremely solid, and it has not poured into the courtyard because of Gu Dacheng's action of opening the door.

Gu Dacheng secretly said that he was lucky, and set his eyes on the street again. The snow on the street was knee-high, and it was about to reach the base of my thigh. On the other side of the street, there were already standing with shovels and brooms, and white steam on their heads as if they had collectively become immortals.

Gu Dacheng's eyes suddenly became hot.

In the summer, Gu Dacheng heard that because the Yellow River flooded again, many rivers near Bianjing flooded, and the people around them also suffered disasters.

In order to save the people, hundreds of soldiers of the forbidden army and the box army disappeared, and no one was seen alive or dead.

In order to save the people, when there was no time to search for the boats, the Qiu Ba of the forbidden army and the box army even jumped directly into the water and carried pieces of wooden planks on their shoulders as pontoon bridges for the people to cross the river!

Gu Dacheng always thought that this was a rumor-

The lives of the people are their lives, so the lives of the military masters are not their lives? If you really talk about it, the price of recruiting, training, and equipping a military master in the imperial court is much more valuable than the lives of ordinary people!

But now, they've come to save themselves......

"Lady! Wife! The Forbidden Army is coming! ”

Gu Dacheng suddenly threw down the broom, turned his head and ran to the house: "The forbidden army has begun to clear the snow!" ”

Gu Dacheng's mother-in-law snorted and said with a smile: "Since the forbidden army has begun to clear the snow, it is estimated that Chang Ping is almost ready to put grain." Perhaps, before the Chang Position is closed and the grain is released, the grain price in Bianjing City should be restored. ”

Gu Dacheng nodded, and just wanted to speak, but he heard a shout from outside the courtyard: "Gu Xianggong is not at home?" Hurry out and get food and chopping wood! ”

Gu Dacheng and his mother-in-law stared at each other for a long time, and then returned to the gate of the courtyard with a confused face, but saw that the snow in front of his house had almost been cleared, and there were two sergeants standing behind the officials of Kaifeng Mansion.

When the official of Kaifeng Mansion saw Gu Dacheng come out, he turned sideways and got out of the way, and the two sergeants who were originally following behind the official stood up, one of them arched his hand to Gu Dacheng, and said: "Gu Xianggong, this is the five catties of grain and twenty catties of chopping wood sent down by the official family, you accept it, and sign it here to prove that you have received these things." ”

Gu Dacheng glanced at the two cloth bags carried by the sergeant in the hand, and then pressed his handprint on a booklet with a confused expression.

"You don't have to buy food."

After the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the sergeants of the Xiang Mansion left, Gu Dacheng hurriedly returned to the house and said to his mother-in-law: "The official family has sent food and chopping materials. Also, I asked the messenger of Kaifeng Mansion, saying that the heavy snow does not stop for a day, and these things will be sent for a day, when it will be stopped, and when it will be stopped. ”

Gu Dacheng's mother-in-law nodded with a smile and said, "Isn't that good?" ”

Gu Dacheng also nodded and said, "Just now, the messenger of Kaifeng Mansion knew that I was a talent, so he asked me if I could help the soldiers of the Xiang Army lead the way, and if I could help them distribute things to the people." I decided, I went, not only did I go, but I also had to go to Kaifeng Mansion to find an errand. ”

"The official family is good to us, we can't not repay the kindness."
