PS: Thanks to hbvnzfasg for the big 100 starting coins tip. Thank you to all the brothers and sisters who voted for the collection, Taibao bows and thanks! Well, it's the weekend, and I wish all brothers and sisters a happy weekend!

The goose-feathered snow began to flutter again, first one by one, and after a while, like torn cotton wool, large clumps began to fall.

Zhao Chen opened his mouth wide in fear, looking at the snow that blurred his vision in the blink of an eye, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill.

It's too late, it's really too late!

If it is delayed any longer, then you can really only look at the sky and sigh, thousands of people! You can't just watch you freeze to death in the ice and snow like that, you can't help it! But he obviously has a way to save them, but he is worried here and is unwilling to help.

Lao Qin's words are also right, but he can't worry so much about it, Sun Simiao has been doing this for many years, what does Sun Simiao have a picture of?

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen went crazy and ran towards Dongshi, but he was tripped by the heavy snow several times on the road, and he didn't care about shaking off the snow on his body, so he rushed to the gate of Dongshi.

Far away, Qin Shubao stood at the door of his house, looking at this scene, his face turned blue on the spot, he had long known that this kid would take his words as a deaf ear, look, he really expected it!

However, seeing Zhao Chen stumbling towards the East City there, Qin Shubao's heart was somewhat relieved, he could do anything for a group of poor people living in the lower classes, how many people in the world could there be?

"Go to Cheng's Mansion immediately, tell General Cheng, just say that the old man meant, and each of our two families will send a hundred generals to Yongpingfang to help that bastard boy build a house!" Qin Shubao watched Zhao Chen's figure enter the East City from a distance, then took a deep breath, and suddenly turned around and commanded the guards behind him.

"Whoa!" When the guards heard this, they bent down slightly at Qin Shubao and said respectfully. Then as soon as he turned around, he ran towards Cheng Yanjin's mansion in Dexinfang.

Four hundred! didn't add a penny, Hu Shang Connors's attitude was very resolute, and it would be useless for Zhao Chen to say anything. Although the music box made Connors salivate, he also saw that the Tang Xiaolangjun in front of him was in a hurry to use the money, otherwise he would not have exchanged such a worldly treasure for money.

This is a merchant! Zhao Chen trembled angrily, but time waits for no one, this is already the third jewelry store he has run, and these Hu merchants are more black-hearted than one another.

Four hundred is four hundred! Zhao Chen didn't want to waste the redundant battle of words, so he immediately slapped the table and made a deal, asking Connors to convert the copper coins into silver ingots, otherwise four hundred copper coins, weighing thousands of catties, would not be able to get it back anyway.

When he went out with the silver ingot, he saw Hu Shang's ugly face, and Zhao Chen swore an oath. When this happens, if he doesn't make this bastard bankrupt, he will be surnamed Wang Ba from now on.

After only a moment of delay in the jewelry store, I found that the snow outside was already half a foot thick, and the heavy snow did not stop, so it was estimated that it would not stop for a while.

When he was about to walk out of the gate of Dongshi, suddenly there was a sound of 'stabbing and stabbing' from a room on the left, and when Zhao Chen just turned to look, the room 'boomed' and completely collapsed.

Something is going to happen, and if the snow continues like this, I'm afraid more people will be unlucky!

Zhao Chenmu looked at the house that collapsed in an instant, his body trembling slightly, half of it came from the chills of his body, and half of it came from the fear of the snow disaster.

sighed in his heart, he didn't dare to delay at all, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of Dongshi, he saw Cheng Chumo standing in the snow and grinning at him, followed by more than 100 generals, and then looked at the generals in their hands, all with shovels and other tools.

A little farther away, the generals of the old Qin family were also there, everyone was holding tools in their hands, standing silently in the snow one by one, their bodies and heads had already been covered with snow, like snow sculptures, seeing such a scene, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and instantly reacted.

I'm afraid that Lao Qin didn't leave at all just now!

There was a sudden sour feeling in his nose, how could he be so virtuous, he actually met such a veteran on the battlefield, and he always protected himself!

"Xiao Chen, we are still not brothers, why don't you notify me of this kind of thing!" As soon as he stepped forward, Cheng Chumo lowered his face and complained about Zhao Chen dissatisfied.

"It's all here, complaining about a fart!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and replied unceremoniously. Cheng Chumo is his brother, so he naturally doesn't need to be polite when he speaks.

"Brothers, today's matter, Zhao Chen on behalf of those poor people, thank you for your help!" After talking to Cheng Chumo, his eyes immediately turned to the generals of the Cheng Mansion and the generals of the Qin Mansion, clasped his fists with both hands, and said loudly.

"The little grandfather is polite, our brothers follow the little grandfather to do such a thing, which is also a blessing for our brothers!" When the generals of the Qin Cheng family heard this, they returned the salute with their fists at Zhao Chen, and replied heartily.

The heads of the Qin and Cheng families all regard Zhao Chen as their nephews, and the generals of the two families naturally call Zhao Chen the same as Cheng Chumo.

"Let's go, then!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he waved his hand vigorously and said loudly. To delay for a while is to let those people suffer for a while, Zhao Chen really doesn't want to waste a little time.

A group of more than 200 people, set off from Chang'an County, all the way to Yongpingfang in Wannian County, when passing through Zhuque Street, suddenly saw a few fast horses galloping out of the palace, all the way to the fast horse, galloping towards the outside of Chang'an City.

It seems that the first heavy snow in the ninth year of Wude not only caused Zhao Chen's fear, but also made Li Er feel a sense of crisis!

Crossing Suzaku Street and entering Wannian County, the scene in front of them suddenly stunned everyone. At this time, when I looked into the eyes, I saw that many houses were crushed by the heavy snow, and the streets were in chaos, and the cries of women and children filled the streets.

The more such a scene goes to Yongpingfang, the more serious it becomes, a group of more than 200 people, walking all the way to look at the crushed houses on both sides, especially those who are kneeling in the snow helplessly looking at their own crushed houses, the mood is indescribably heavy.

Compared with the prosperity of Chang'an County, Wannian County is more like a slum, and most of the residents here are people living at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty, so most of the houses they live in are thatched huts.

This sudden heavy snow destroyed the houses of these people, and along the way, Zhao Chen saw that hundreds of houses were destroyed, this is only a county in ten thousand years, so what about the places around Chang'an?

Cataclysm! This first heavy snow in the ninth year of Wude finally evolved into a snow disaster at this moment, but I don't know how many people will suffer in this snow disaster!

When I was about to arrive at Yongpingfang, I saw a few people standing anxiously at the gate of Yongpingfang, constantly looking at each other, and seeing Zhao Chen with more than 200 people, several people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

These people are Sun Simiao, Hu Lu, and Fang Zheng, who is surnamed Su in Yongping Fang, and several Fang Ding in the Fang.

"Dao Chief, how is the food matter?" As soon as the two met, there were no extra polite words, Zhao Chen looked at Sun Simiao, who was covered with a layer of snow on his head, and asked straight to the point.

When Sun Simiao heard this, he shook his head gloomily: "The poor road has just arrived at the Yamen of the Household Department, and I saw Sun Wuji, the chief of the Household Department, there is no hope for the grain for the time being, the heavy snow has closed the road, and all the grain transferred from Luoyang and other places has been blocked outside Lantian County, and the imperial court is trying to find a way to transport it in!" ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, he opened his mouth dumbly, when the Turks went south to Chang'an, they took away all the things in the treasury, during this time Li Er ordered to urgently requisition food from Luoyang Hubei, who would have thought that there would be this heavy snowfall, and all the roads into Chang'an would be blocked.

These grains can't be transported in, and with the current inventory alone, they can't satisfy so many people in Chang'an anyway!

I hope this grain can be transported smoothly into Chang'an!

After listening to Sun Simiao's words, Zhao Chen sighed slightly, turned his eyes to Hu Lu on the side, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Hu, you take this silver now, and immediately go to the West Market to buy the materials you need, now that so many houses have collapsed, I am afraid that the materials will also rise, take advantage of the fact that those businessmen have not yet reacted, and immediately go to buy it, even if the price is a little higher!" ”

Hu Lu has been staying in the Gewu Courtyard for a long time, and he happened to meet Sun Simiao in the imperial city, and after listening to Sun Simiao talk about this matter, he followed Sun Simiao here.

"Done!" Hearing this, Hu Lu took the silver from Zhao Chen's hand and said to Zhao Chen's solemn expression.

"Chu Mo, you take a dozen brothers to go to the West Market with Brother Hu, if you meet a black-hearted businessman who sits on the ground and starts the price, don't be polite!" After explaining to Hu Lu, his eyes turned to Cheng Chumo on the side, and his eyes were murderous.

Cheng Chu silently heard this, nodded, turned around and selected more than a dozen brothers from the hundred generals behind him.

After explaining to Cheng Chumo, his eyes turned to Su Fangzheng on the side again, and said in a solemn tone: "Su Fangzheng, I don't care what method you use, I must settle down all the women, children, old and young inside, as soon as possible, and select fifty young people from among them to follow Brother Hu to the West Market to transport materials!" ”

When Su Fang heard this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, obviously letting him obey the orders of a young man like Zhao Chen in front of his subordinates, and he couldn't hold his face a little, but then he saw the hundreds of generals behind Zhao Chen, Su Fang hesitated slightly, and then replied.

"Time waits for no one, so let's do it now!" As soon as Su Fang nodded, Zhao Chen immediately clenched his fists and said loudly to the people in front of him and behind him
