Chapter 228, Ice Age
Xu Hao is the only exception, Chu Chengjun doesn't know why Xu Hao used so much gold without generating karma, but he knows that the gold in Xu Hao's hands has never flowed out, and exchanging these gold for materials will not damage the national fortune of the Great Qi Imperial Court.
After some discussion between the two, Taihuazi took 100,000 sets of cotton clothes from Xu Hao, and Chu Chengjun took 1 million sets of cotton clothes from Xu Hao, but he handed them over to the envoy sent by the imperial court, and he himself stayed in Yuzhang County to recuperate!
Xu Hao often went to Yuzhang County to become a monarch early, and only after the exchange did he know why the imperial court could grasp the number of people who froze to death.
It turned out to be reported by the city gods from all over the country, and the city gods of Yuzhang County received 300,000 souls who were frozen to death in this winter, as for other places, it is no longer imaginable, more than one million deaths are already more visible, and even the states and counties in the north have lost contact, and even the city god system has lost its effect, but with the current situation of the imperial court, there is no one to find the reason, but now the number of deaths counted by the imperial court is close to hundreds of millions.
This is still Xu Hao's scattered several methods to prevent the cold, if it weren't for the fact that there would really be a few living people left in the entire north!
Chu Chengjun even asked Xu Hao, "This ice disaster was really caused by us?" ”
Seeing the pale Chu Chengjun, Xu Hao still decided to tell the truth, he used a spell to create a model of the Great Qi world, this model was suspended in Xu Hao's hands, and then said: "The last time the hell war made the volcano in Youzhou, the volcanic ash erupted for more than a year, and these volcanic ash floating in the sky will block the sun, so that our world can get the heat insight, which caused the snow disaster last year and this year!" ”
Chu Chengjun said bitterly: "We people are really guilty! ”
Xu Hao could only persuade: "Brother Chu, you don't want to be like this, and now is not the time to blame yourself, the natural disaster is not over, the volcanic ash is very light, and it will not fall down for several years if it floats in the sky, so this snow disaster is not over, and the disaster has just begun!" ”
Chu Chengjun said sadly: "In other words, Daqi will have to experience such a natural disaster for a few years? ”
Xu Hao looked at the gray sky and said helplessly: "If the volcanic ash in the sky does not fall, it is impossible for the natural disaster to end!" Therefore, the imperial court must find a way to get grain and plant some hardy plants in the next few years, because it may take up to half a year in the winter of the next few years, and there is no time for plants to be planted! ”
"How many monks are there in the imperial court, it's time for them to prepare to make artificial grain, whether the imperial court can exist in the next few years, and whether the people can survive depends on the output of artificial grain! Without the sun, you can't grow any grain in the north, even in the south like Yuzhang County, you can only grow some potatoes and corn! ”
Last year, the grain production of the entire Daqi began to decrease, and this year there is not even much grain in the granary.
If this kind of thing happens in other worlds, chaos in the world is inevitable, Chu Chengjun is now glad that Xu Hao made an artificial grain workshop a few years ago, and now this has become a lifesaver for Daqi.
Chu Chengjun said: "I will inform the imperial court, and ask Xu Hao to find a way to get more food!" ”
Xu Hao could only smile bitterly: "I can't get enough food for hundreds of millions of people, such a natural disaster can only be worked together!" ”
Chu Chengjun thought for a while and asked, "There's no way to get the volcanic ash down in the high altitude?" ”
Xu Hao also smiled bitterly: "This is going to fly to a height of three thousand zhang and get those dust down, if we have millions of imperial monks, maybe it will be possible to do it!" ”
Chu Chengjun knew that this was impossible, there were probably only tens of thousands of imperial cultivators in the cultivation realm, and most of them could not obey the orders of the imperial court!
After Chu Chengjun reported the news that Xu Hao said, the imperial court really mobilized all its monk strength to make artificial food, but deep down they still wanted that what Xu Hao said was wrong?
Soon the weather will heat up, after all, the volcanoes in Youzhou have been extinguished.
But the reality slapped them in the face, this year's winter has been very long, and it is already in April when the north is still covered with snow, and only in the area south of the Yangtze River, the ice and snow have begun to melt! According to this calculation, there may not be spring flowers in May in the north, but after August, there will be wind and snow, what is enough time to plant in 3 months?
The people at the bottom of the entire Great Qi were considered to be completely desperate, and they all fled to the warm south after the weather was a little warmer! The imperial court of Daqi has also completely given up luck, in recent years, agriculture has been unreliable, and can only rely on artificial grain, the imperial court has arranged a man-made grain factory in each county, and as long as the people do not rebel, they will arrange relief.
But the grassland people in the north can no longer bear such a disaster, although they made Xu Hao introduce the snow house to escape, but they waited until May, the heavy snow on the grassland has not yet melted, leaving the livestock to eat up the hay, and looking at the outside situation, it is impossible to graze, so the herdsmen on the grassland, killed their last bit of cattle and horses, gave up the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, and took their whole clan to run to the territory of Daqi, wanting to find a way to live.
Although millions of people had died last year, the desperate scene of the past few years made everyone believe that the south was the only holy place they could survive, so the whole nation of men, women and children in the grassland gathered, and there were as many as 3 million people, forming a large army of refugees to attack the land of Daqi.
And now the people of Daqi are fleeing to the south, there is not much strength in guarding the fortress of the frontier, the fortress that was not beaten down before the head was broken and bloody, but now it is easy to occupy, 3 million herdsmen easily invaded the land of Youzhou, only thousands of soldiers are still here to stubbornly recover the land of Daqi, but unfortunately in the face of 3 million herdsmen who survive, their strength is a drop in the bucket.
The herdsmen finally entered the place of Daqi, and everyone was excited, thinking that they had found a way to live, and now what they had to do was to loot the people of Daqi to find food to eat.
It's a pity that they can only see villages like ice sculptures here, and find some food for the total destruction of the villages, or an empty dead city, and it is a fool's dream to rely on this food to allow 3 million people to survive.
