Chapter 14 Three Strategies for Snow Control and Self-Blame

"Makes sense, we really can't wait any longer."

Chen Xian rubbed his chin and stroked his beard, he felt that what his father-in-law said made sense.

If nothing else, Chen Chen should be crowned this year, and it seems that he will have to find a time to take the child and his mother to Yecheng to hold a crown ceremony for him.

And normally, when other people's families and crowns, the children have already been able to run, and now their sons are about to weaken the crown, but they still haven't seen a shadow.

I really don't know how the two of them are getting along.

"After this busy time, find an opportunity to go to Yecheng together, and discuss this matter with Xuande Gong."

Cai Yong thought about it, they still wanted Liu Bei to participate in this matter, after all, he was the biggest leader, how to say that Chen Chen was Liu Bei's most effective assistant, and Liu Bei had to be involved.

The two old guys were discussing the big things they thought were here, and Chen Chen had already brought the quickly obtained test data back to the conference hall to discuss the feasibility of these methods with the old professors.

In the end, three policies were retained, which are known as the three policies for snow control.

One of the three strategies for snow control is to build a mud wall with the city wall, which is used to burn coal and firewood in the mud wall and the city wall, and the mud is semi-closed on the wall, so that the heat can circulate between the city wall and the mud wall, so that the heat can be left to the greatest extent, and the mud wall will also be built on both sides of the ground passage, so that the heat can flow throughout the city.

However, this method has certain requirements for the builder of the mud wall, and in order to keep the heat in the wall cavity, it must involve the design of some internal cavities.

Fortunately, the most important thing in Taihang Academy is that there is no shortage of talents in all aspects, and they quickly came up with a set of plans that can be used first.

The second of the three strategies for snow control is to set up a cold protection base.

The establishment of this base is to find suitable open land in various areas of the city, build a high platform with soil, leave the center of the high platform empty, and then repair the high wall to block the wind and snow, and build beds around the high platform wall, so that a large number of people can accommodate in this small space, here is the use of the layer bed proposed by Chen Chen, just like a train hard sleeper, everyone's bed space is not large, but it can accommodate the body, so that in the center of the high platform with coal to boil hot water, with heat and water vapor to maintain the temperature and humidity in the high platform, and the water can also be used directly as a hot soup.

In fact, this cold base is like an enlarged version of the kang, and the point is to be able to accommodate so many people in a small space.

The third of the three strategies for snow control is to send the ginger wine of Bingzhou to Youzhou and Jizhou in batches, the production cost of these ginger liquor is not high, although it is not pure, but it is also considered a distilled spirit, the taste is not particularly good, but it is better than the strong, if you drink it in ordinary times, you will only feel hot and dry after drinking, and now it is just right to spend the winter.

Originally, Chen Chen also planned to experiment with how to make these wines taste better, not to mention that they could be comparable to immortal wine, that is, immortal drunkenness, but at least they were better than most of the wines brewed in this world.

Now that the taste has not been adjusted well, when the time comes, mix some water and give it to the people who are suffering from the cold, which may be effective.

In fact, to be honest, from the perspective of modern medicine, drinking alcohol when you have a cold is death, after all, cephalosporin is paired with wine, and the more you drink, the more you have.

But in this winter, the ginger wine in Bingzhou is strong and spicy, which is not delicious in itself, but it is very useful, among which ginger, the effect of this cold food is the most obvious.

And this third strategy for controlling snow is not just ginger wine, it should be said to be a food supplement.

At the beginning, there were not many people willing to plant ginger, because although this thing can be used as medicine, there are not many prescriptions for ginger at this time, and the demand is not large, and this thing tastes extremely spicy and cannot be eaten, so although it looks like food, it cannot be eaten as food at all.

And Chen Chen asked people to try to make ginger soup and found that the effect was okay, but because of the lack of ingredients, it was still not easy to eat, but after making ginger wine, it was used as a kind of medicinal wine and cooking wine, and the effect was much better.

Originally, I planned to sell these ginger wines to make a profit from the princes' families, but now I should basically invest in this winter disaster relief, and the estimated amount is not enough, so I can only support the northernmost ones first, and then slowly send them to the county towns below.

Although in the eyes of anyone, this will be considered a kind of loss for disaster relief.

But only Chen Chen knows that with the blessing of his natural ability, as long as the labor resources in the territory are preserved and the casualties are reduced, then the future will pass this hurdle, and the speed of development will be faster.

"These three strategies are actually just emergency measures, and I don't know how effective they can be in dealing with this glacial snowstorm, but if we can survive this disaster, then we need to seriously plan a long-term way to avoid the cold."

The professor of Taihang Academy frowned and repeatedly browsed the three strategies for curing the snow several times, although he always felt that there were too many loopholes and problems, but it seemed that this was also the best way that could be taken out in a hurry.

"Then bother you to bother, the juniors will take the first step, go back to Xuande Gong, and send these methods out as much as possible."

It's good to have a solution, and now is not the time to pick and choose.

Even if any of the three snow control strategies have only a little effect, which is about the same as nothing, as long as there is hope, it must be implemented again.

As long as the people are still there, they can recover as many resources as they consume.

Merely......

Chen Chen suddenly thought of a question.

In another time and space, how did Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Yu survive this glacial period?

If I am not mistaken, at this point in time, the three of them are arguing with each other in Youzhou and Jizhou.

Could it be that they have simply abandoned the people who have nowhere to run? Let them freeze to death?

Chen Chen couldn't think of a way they could use to resist this glacial period, and finally had to accept this possibility, that is, the princes at that time had no way to solve the problem of cold, and only the people who had reserves in the city had the opportunity to survive this winter and survive.

For others, whether they can survive or not depends on luck.

In fact, the reality is far more tragic than Chen Chen imagined.

During this period of history, after the people in the north were affected by the disaster, the number of casualties directly or indirectly affected exceeded 100,000, and there was no way to save the frozen bones everywhere.

Otherwise, the population of the northern territory itself is not a lot, and after this winter, there are more young people and soldiers who are physically strong, so although the northern territory has preserved its immediate combat effectiveness, it has decreased sharply in the total population, so that in the following decades, the Youzhou army has been greatly reduced, and the Youzhou army has also collapsed, and it has not been able to slow down for many years.

Otherwise, according to Cao Mengde's territory, the Battle of Chibi at that time could reach a real million people with armor, but there were only more than 200,000 people with real armor, and the rest were logistics personnel.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred in the entire land of the Han Dynasty, giving these people fewer and fewer chances to survive.

Some people always think that it is the private population of the family that makes the population drop sharply in the late Han Dynasty to a shocking level.

However, no matter how much the family has a way to hide the population, and there is not enough corresponding land and resources, it can only show that more people did not survive these natural and man-made disasters in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Rushed back to Yecheng with three strategies for snow control.

Along the way, Chen Chen's mood was low.

He can foresee that he will definitely lose this battle, but his goal now is to retain as much vitality and strength as possible for his side in this defeat.

How many generations will it take for man to conquer the sky?

Chen Chen didn't know, he only knew that he needed to use these lame methods to save more people's lives in this battle with God.

He even felt a little guilty that he didn't pay enough attention to the effects of the glacial period, thinking that he would be able to get through it with a little attention.

I didn't expect to need to cram.

Yan Ren also saw that Chen Chen's mood was not quite right.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

The one who can make Yan Ren care so tenderly is Chen Chen alone.

Chen Chen raised his head, his eyes were a little confused, and he looked at Yan Ren.
