Since the heavy snow hinders the harvest of autumn grain, it is natural that the people cannot grow winter wheat in the fields, so even if the land on Hedong Road is covered with nine layers of 'quilts', it is useless. At most, it will have a certain advantage for grain planting next autumn.
If you want to replant spring wheat or sorghum in the spring, you have to ask God if he agrees.
Obviously, this time, God did not give Zheng Xia and Wen Yanbo this face, this heavy snow disaster from the middle of August of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the third day of Zheng Xia's succession, to the middle of March of the first year of Yuanyou, pinching his fingers and counting, it lasted for seven months!
The snow has stopped, but it doesn't mean that farmers can immediately start planting this season's grain on the land on Hedong Road, because you have to wait until the snow melts!
In this way, the accumulated snow in the sunny plains melted relatively easily, but it took about ten days for the ground to completely thaw. However, at this time, there was a very fatal problem - now there is no one on the entire Hedong Road.
Ordinary people, even farmers with so many acres of land at home, can't let their families survive this cold winter, and those tenants who rent the landlord's fields are not to mention, so most of the farmers on Hedong Road are still staying in front of Bishui Pass at this time.
Hedong Road used to have a lot of people and little land, but now there are many people and few people, and these landlords, who have lost a year's income, have empty land, but they can't find a tenant to cultivate the land for them.
Only those truly good landlords, who have relieved their tenants with their own grain free of charge, and reaped the loyalty of these tenants, will be able to plant this season's grain in time.
However, such landlords are a minority of the minority in the entire Hedong Road. Even in every state and county, you may not be able to find one.
Lu Dafang did not expect such a situation, and he also sent people to try to drive these hungry people who had been lying in front of the Bishui Pass back to Hedong Road. However, if you want to enter Hedong Road at this time, there is no way to go!
Entering Hedong Road, there are many ways to go.
But the quickest passage is undoubtedly the passage where these hungry people first entered the Luoyang Prefecture area through the Yellow River - Fengling Ferry, from there, Lu Dafang can use a boat or rebuild a pontoon bridge to settle these hungry people in Hezhong Fu first.
Cai Dao asked people to build the pontoon bridge before, after making sure that there were no large number of hungry people entering Hezhong Mansion, Cai Dao had already ordered people to take back the small ships that built the pontoon bridge, and those that could not be recovered were not abandoned, those were wood! Roast it on a charcoal fire and you can use it for immediate warmth. At that time, there was a lack of enough firewood in the entire Hedong Road, except for the cottage.
However, Fan Zuyu is also mediocre enough, until now, he didn't think of sending troops to attack the Fengling Ferry North Ferry, which has been controlled by Cai Dao, as for the Fengling Ferry South Ferry, after the Lord Mu Laozhai took the initiative to retreat, it was occupied by those instigators of Luoyang Mansion, so that they can be regarded as having an explanation to the prefect of Luoyang Mansion.
In that era of the Great Song Dynasty, if in the past, after winter, there was a thick layer of ice on the Yellow River, even the cavalry of the Liao State could cross the river on horseback, and it was not impossible for ordinary people to cross the river on foot, but still, the weather in the eighth year of Yuanfeng was strange here.
Throughout the winter, it also snowed in the area south of the Zhongtiao Mountains, but it was not much at all, and the ice on the surface of the Yellow River was not very thick. Lu Dafang sent people to try, and in some places it was impossible to ride a horse at all. Although the people would not pass on horseback, no one dared to make this decision easily because the group of hungry people was too large, whether the ice on the Yellow River could support so many hungry people.
Lu Dafang, who has always been cautious, naturally did not dare to take this risk, otherwise, the image he had built up with great difficulty would also suffer a great impact.
In other words, since the sixth year of Yuanfeng, the Central Plains region has finally stopped for a few years, and has not continued to encounter various large and medium-scale natural disasters. However, since the autumn harvest of Yuanfeng in the eighth year, except for the snow that began to fall on Hedong Road, other roads in the Central Plains have gradually begun to show signs of drought.
According to the reports of the chief officials of various prefectures and counties, the scope of the drought has caught up with or even surpassed the great drought in Xining in the seventh year.
Lu Dafang also thought of this method, and wanted to cross these hungry people through Fengling and settle them all in Hezhong Mansion first. However, as soon as the people he sent inquired and reported to him when they came back, Lu Dafang almost crooked his nose.
Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu are really old and dizzy, is Fan Zuyu a magistrate? I think that at the beginning, Lu Gongshu's elder brother Lu Gongxuan said that Zeng Gong was only suitable for cultivating history, not suitable for being a zaifu. However, Zeng Gong also served as a magistrate for several terms back then, and his political achievements were also good.
However, Fan Zuyu has been following Sima Guang's ass to repair history books since he became a jinshi, and he has no experience as an official at all.
However, it is completely unimaginable that these two old fellows would send a guy with almost zero ruling experience to Hezhong Mansion at such a critical time. There are so many experienced officials among the conservative ministers who are fully qualified to be the governor of this river.
However, it was too late to say anything now, so Lü Dafang hurriedly wrote an urgent document and sent it to Wen Yanbo and Lü Gongshu, the document was to obtain the authority of their military operations in Hezhong Mansion from the two.
Lu Dafang suggested that at this time, he must send troops to quickly capture the Fenglingdu North Ferry and open up this passage into Hedong Road.
In fact, Lu Dafang, who had been staying in Bishui Pass, had already seen the signs of drought near Luoyang. Due to the excessive number of hungry people coming from Hedong Road, in order to save more victims, the grain reserves in the government treasury and the inner treasury in Bianliang City directly decreased rapidly.
To be honest, the heavy snowstorm on Hedong Road had a very big impact on the political situation of the entire Great Song Dynasty. It is also because when Cai Dao first arrived there, the foundation was insufficient and the preparation was insufficient, so this led to the fact that this time, there were farmers on the entire Hedong Road who fled their homeland on a large scale, and there were not a few people who froze to death at home and on the road.
But the location of this snowstorm is only the place of the Great Song Kingdom all the way, except for the consumption of a lot of food in Bianliang City, the impact on the surrounding area is not too great.
On the contrary, this drought is not just a local phenomenon, for Zhao Xu, who has just ascended the throne, it has little to do, but it is undoubtedly a very huge blow to Gao Taotao, who has just listened to the government.
