The first snow fell for six days in a row, and at noon on the sixth day, the snow finally stopped.

But the entire capital has not sunny, and is still shrouded in a dark cloud.

Looking at the gloomy sky, everyone knows that the heavy snow is not over.

Woowoo......

At noon, Zhao Yu, who was dozing off in the supervisor's duty hall, heard a low horn sound from the school grounds.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Yu summoned the monsoon who was on duty outside the hall and asked.

Since Ji Feng was promoted to the 100 households of the superintendent, he has been responsible for the errand of the superintendent headquarters.

"If you go back to your lordship, because the first snow is a little clear, the Thousand Households Office of the Army is convening the headquarters to assist the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, and prepare to go to the outer city to clear the streets!"

Ji Feng knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully to Zhao Yu.

According to Zhao Yu's orders, whether it was Lu Jianxing, a deputy Qianhu or an ordinary wrestler, there was no need to kneel down when he saw him, but Ji Feng insisted on doing so.

The capital city of Daqian is divided into the inner city and the outer city, most of the people living in the outer city are civilians, and in the inner city, the people living outside are some wealthy merchants, the closer to the central imperial city, the higher the identity of the people who live there.

Of course, small merchants and vendors in the outer city can also enter the inner city to do business, but they have to be in time for the morning bell and dusk drum.

Otherwise, the civilians from the outer city will either spend a lot of money to live in an inn, or they will have to go to the prison of Shuntianfu for a few days!

"Outside the city?"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, the dignified West Factory service, no matter how bad it was, it was under the rule of the emperor's ministers, and he actually did the work of a cleaner?

Even so, it stands to reason that even if the streets are to be cleaned up, it will give priority to the inner city, when did the old men of the government start to care about those civilians in the outer city?

"Let's go, let's go join in the fun!"

It was a little boring to stay in the headquarters of the prison department, and Zhao Yu got up and prepared to follow the soldiers of the army and the thousands of households to have a look.

"My lord, this street is a filthy thing, you ......"

Seeing that Zhao Yu actually wanted to join in the fun, the kneeling monsoon below was stunned.

It's too late for others to hide from this bad thing, how can this Shangguan still focus on making up!

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, if you're idle, you'll be idle, and it's good to go out and breathe! ”

Zhao Yu waved his hand, then got up to greet Erha, took Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, and walked towards the outside of the West Detective Factory.

Looking at Zhao Yu's expression, Ji Feng knew that this Shangguan didn't understand the meaning of his words at all.

……

Outside the West Investigation Factory, the battle under the rule of thousands of households in the army has been prepared.

But when Zhao Yu saw the guys in the hands of these servants, he frowned slightly.

Since it was a clear street, why didn't I bring a broom, a shovel and other snow removal things, but covered my mouth and nose with a white towel one by one.

After a while, the hundreds of households sent by the main hall of the army came to the outside of the West Investigation Factory, and walked towards the outer city with the soldiers.

Zhao Yu, who was suspicious in his heart, followed behind the battle from afar.

……

After passing through the inner city, Zhao Yu and his party came to the outer city of Kyoto.

When he saw this scene in front of him, Zhao Yu's whole person froze in place, and after a while, Zhao Yu's face was actually flushed sickly.

Wow!!

After a tumbling in his chest, Zhao Yu vomited all the pastries he had eaten in the morning.

When people are experiencing extreme mood swings, their stomach and intestines will cramp rapidly.

Dead people, it's not like Zhao Yu hasn't seen it.

Since coming to Daqian, there have been several heads cut off by his own hands.

But after seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Yu still couldn't suppress the horror in his heart, and retched directly on the street.

"Your Excellency...... Are you alright?! ”

Jin Yichuan saw that Zhao Yu was vomiting, so he stepped forward with Lu Jianxing and helped Zhao Yu up from left to right.

Yes, it's support.

Zhao Yu, who has surpassed most of the masters of internal strength, has no strength to stand at this moment.

He now finally understood why Monsoon had such a look when he talked about clearing the streets.

Why was he still puzzled at the beginning, those officials and old men, Qingjie would think about the outer city first!

On both sides of the street in front of Zhao Yu, frozen and stiff corpses were carried out by the officials and soldiers and thrown on wooden carts in the middle of the street.

In disorder......

Clear the streets, not the snow that has accumulated on the road for days, but these ordinary people who have been frozen and starved to death!!

Although Zhao Yu is in Daqian, his soul comes from a relatively peaceful society.

There, although he still lives like a salted fish that will never turn over, at least as long as he is willing to move, he will not go hungry!

The scene in front of him, when Zhao Yu was studying, he had seen it from history books.

But those few words and sentences can't be compared with the human tragedy in front of you.

After relieving his breath, Zhao Yu gradually suppressed his retching.

"It's just a heavy snowfall, how can so many people die?" Zhao Yu looked at the layers of corpses and muttered to himself in a low voice.

This is still in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is difficult for Zhao Yu to imagine what kind of bleak situation it will be in other state capitals of Beizhili outside the capital.

"My lord, this cold weather is only one aspect, the most direct cause of these people's deaths is the ration ......"

Lu Jianxing heard Zhao Yu's whisper to himself, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

It turned out that as soon as the heavy snow fell, the major grain merchants in Kyoto began to stock up on grain, and the price of grain in and around the capital began to rise wildly.

The people, who were already under the threat of heavy snowfall, were cut off from food rations......

"My lord, this is just the beginning, when refugees begin to emerge in the state capitals of Beizhili, it will be really miserable!"

Lu Jianxing took a breath and said everything he knew.

"Doesn't the court care?"

After listening to Lu Jianxing's words, Zhao Yu asked something that made him feel quite idiotic.

"Tube. Of course! ”

Jin Yichuan sneered and said: "This heavy snow can make officials at all levels happy. ”

In the event of such a snow disaster, the imperial court will definitely allocate disaster relief food, and at this time, it is the time for officials at all levels to make a windfall!

……

Zhao Yu, who was unwell, did not leave the outer city, but thought about walking closer to the outside of the city.

Along the way, Zhao Yu found that the closer he got to the outside of the city, the more corpses died of freezing and starvation, at first they were just some old and weak, and in the end, even the young and strong corpses gradually increased.

"Go later!! Who dares to rush forward again, be careful of the water and fire stick in Lao Tzu's hand! ”

Just after Zhao Yu and the others turned an alley, they saw a large number of ragged people crowded together on an empty boundary.

"My lord, this is a porridge factory opened by the imperial court!"

Seeing Zhao Yu looking at the crowd, Lu Jianxing on the side explained.

But in the event of a catastrophe, the imperial court will open a porridge factory at a specific point to save the people. However, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan both know that this kind of porridge is almost always fooling!
