Chapter 60: Heavy Snow

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, only reckless."

As soon as I woke up, it was covered with snow outside, and the entire Jingzhao County was shrouded in whiteness.

Before you know it, winter has arrived.

Yang Yu grabbed a handful of white snow and couldn't help but chant this poem imprinted in his soul.

"Good words!" Wang Xi struck the festival and admired. Wang Xijiu is in the deep palace, and he can still distinguish the good from the bad.

"Majestic, fascinating!"

Although there are no popular words in the Sui Dynasty, good things can be admired at any time after all, but unfortunately there is only one beginning, and His Royal Highness the Acting King has stopped.

Yang Yu smiled, the meaning of this poem is too domineering, if it is spread out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although Wang Xi is his confidant, it is better to be careful.

Holding the snow in his hand into a ball, feeling the biting chill, a thought popped up in my heart, this winter seems to be very cold.

"His Royal Highness!" Du Ruyan came in a hurry.

Yang Yu looked at Du Ruhui in surprise, this was the first time Du Ruhui stepped into the East Palace.

In the past, Du Ruhui had been working in the Disaster Relief Department, and some things were handled only after Yang Yu went to the Disaster Relief Department.

Du Ruhui stepped into the East Palace in such a hurry, obviously something urgent happened.

Du Ruhui walked a few steps quickly, came to Yang Yu's face, and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness the Acting King!" The weather is cold, the sky is snowing heavily, the homeless people are thinly dressed, and there have been many frostbite incidents. ”

Yang Yu was taken aback, recently, he was so busy that he didn't expect to ignore the change in the weather.

Most of the displaced people around Daxing City came in August and September, when the weather was warm, and thin clothes were enough.

It's already October, and in the era of no greenhouse effect, October is cold enough.

It snowed heavily tonight, and the thin clothes in summer were not enough to keep out the cold.

"Doesn't the Disaster Relief Department have clothes donated by citizens?" Yang Yu asked.

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly: "There are too many displaced people, there is no shortage at all, we can only give priority to the old, weak, sick and disabled, and now at least 200,000 displaced people lack warm clothing." ”

Indeed, among the current refugees, only those who came from Feng Yijun brought some warm clothes, and most of them were still thin clothes.

Yang Yu thought about it, and there was no good way, so he said helplessly: "Stop all the projects first, let the people who lack warm clothes return to the house, and then make plans after this snow is over." ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Du Ruhui left in a hurry less than a quarter of an hour after coming to the East Palace, and there were still many things waiting for him to handle.

Yang Yu sat down and scratched his scalp in annoyance, it is now October of the lunar calendar, the weather has just turned cold, there is still a long time before winter, and a thin snow will make him lose all his labor.

If we don't solve the problem of keeping warm from the cold, I'm afraid the whole project will stop this winter.

If Daxingcheng is to feed 400,000 people for four months, then Daxingcheng will really go bankrupt.

After thinking about it, he still didn't have a clue, so Yang Yu simply put down this question first.

After this snowfall, if you still can't think of a solution, then spend a lot of money to buy warm clothes from all over the world to cope with this cold winter!

Yang Yu had already prepared for the worst.

However, this is another large amount of expenditure, and the already insufficient funds of the Disaster Relief Department may add to the situation.

The snow was covered, all the work had been stopped, and the weather gave these people who had been busy for two months a few days off.

The cold weather and the white snow could not stop the enthusiasm of these people, and a large number of people came to Daxing City with a month's salary.

Ox carts and horse-drawn carts poured into Daxing City.

After getting out of the car, the pillar exhaled a white breath and rubbed his frozen red hands.

A few months of sufficient food has made the pillar's body grow wildly, and now his height does not have to be low, only his age is betrayed by the immaturity on his face.

Looking at the bustling Daxing City, my heart was full of shock and envy.

In the days of begging along the road, no city of outcasts like him was willing to let them in, except for this great city in front of them.

I once thought that the small county town of my hometown was the most prosperous place in the world, looking at the lively scene on the street, the tall and majestic buildings on both sides of the street, and the dazzling array of goods on both sides, the pillar realized that he was really sitting in a well and watching the sky before.

Uncle Tie patted the pillar on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Look at the dazzling eyes, I won't tell you, when your uncle and I first came, we were similar to you, and you will get used to it after a few more visits." ”

Zhu Zi smiled innocently and looked at Uncle Tie, Uncle Tie's wife was starving to death, and he fled to Jingzhao County alone.

Every time he paid his salary, Uncle Tie would go to Daxing City to have a good time, and he had been here several times.

"This is Daxingdong City, you take a look here first, Uncle Tie is busy beforehand!"

Uncle Tie and Zhu agreed on the place and time of the meeting, and then they and his companions impatiently entered a small alley.

Zhuzi is not a fool, nor is he a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything, wandering has given him enough insight in the past few years.

During the two months of Daxing, in the gathering places of the homeless, there were only thieves and merchants who stared at the money bags of the homeless, and there were also a large number of casinos and brothels.

Needless to say, the places they go to are nothing more than these two places.

Zhu shook his head, no longer thinking about Uncle Tie's affairs, and began to walk around Daxing City, the weather was already cold, and Sister Xiaocao didn't have thick clothes yet, so it was time to buy one.

Thinking of Xiaocao, the pillar felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

Last month, Xiaocao's father, Uncle Zhou, had promised that as long as he raised a bride price of two taels of silver, he would marry Xiaocao to himself.

Sister Xiaocao is gentle and kind, and can cook, she is the favorite of all the boys in their gathering place, and the pillar agreed to come down on the spot.

Half a month ago, Zhu Zi had handed over all the one or two taels of silver accumulated over the years to Uncle Zhou, carefully calculated his monthly salary, and as long as it was more than half a year, he would be able to raise the remaining one or two.

When the time comes, Sister Xiaocao will become her daughter-in-law, and when she thinks of this, her face is full of happiness.

After visiting more than a dozen stores in a row, the pillar did not find that it could match Sister Xiaocao's clothes.

The pillar unconsciously walked around Daxing City, passing by a large women's clothing store.

"Little brother, I want to buy clothes for my daughter-in-law, come on, my sister-in-law will take you to choose."

In the women's clothing store, a woman in her thirties beckons to the pillars.

Now the merchants of Daxing City, who do not know the Dao, have the most spare money in their hands, and His Royal Highness the Acting King is the most generous, and he will pay his wages on time and in full every month. An adult laborer earns much more money per month than the average person.

"Does the little brother want to buy clothes for the subject?" The young woman asked with a smirk.

Zhu Zi blushed and nodded, which made the young woman even more enthusiastic, this kind of young man has money in his hands, and he is even more willing to spend money.

"Come on, little brother, take a look at these models, I don't know which young lady is blessed, our clothes here are very famous in Daxing City, and many young ladies are buying clothes from us!" The young woman boasted about herself while selling her costume to the pillars.

Zhu Zi looked at a few pieces and shook his head, and came directly to the big red coats, imagining that Xiaocao would look good in this dress.

After a while, the pillar went out of the store with the wrapped clothes. Although it took nearly a month's salary, the pillar was bought without hesitation.

Looking at the sky, I found that unconsciously, it was not early, and I hurried to the place where I had agreed with Uncle Tie.

"Hurry up! It's just you kid. Uncle Tie urged

The pillar hitched a ride on the ox cart and hurried out of the city, and finally left Daxing City a moment before the gates were closed.

"If you kid is a little later, we will end up in Daxing City, do you know that Lu Dao will spend a lot of money to sleep in Daxing City for one night."

Uncle Tie blamed the pillar.

The pillar smiled, didn't talk back, just hugged the clothes in his hand, and just looked forward to returning to the gathering place as soon as possible and seeing the elf-like girl again.
