Chapter 121: Ice and Snow Disaster

Regarding the death of Zhao Huan, the Holy Emperor of Taishangyuan, Zhao Jiu was just upset when he heard it, after all, he didn't like anything related to this person, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, if he died, he would die, and he would live in peace after that.

Anyway, according to the relatives of the ancient funeral, he, the father, has already passed on to Zhezong, and the royal family does not have to keep filial piety for this uncle, not to mention that the wedding of Foyou and Yue Yun is scheduled for September next year, and it can't be delayed.

What? You say he's the Emperor? The Emperor Taishang, who was involved in the rebellion, did not send a glass of poisonous wine, which was already polite.

Anyway, the Tokyo Secret Pavilion and the southeastern officials all have this attitude, no matter whether they were promoted by Yuan Sheng and entered the palace back then, people like Ma Shen, Li Guang, and even Fan Zongyin, who had a certain sympathy for him, could no longer have any feelings for him after he participated in the rebellion.

How can there be two days? As an orthodox Confucian disciple, who doesn't understand this truth?

Even if Lu Hao asked, he just asked for a funeral, which was already the most kind person in the court.

As for Zhao Guan's family, it is even more impossible to go to Hangzhou for the funeral in person, just find a younger brother to do it for you. In the end, Zhao Huan was named "Huan", and he also found a place to bury him near Dongxiao Palace, and he was done.

However, some ministers are worried that if the two emperors died in the same year, will anyone in the future carry out conspiracy theories about Zhao Jiu? This Zhao Jiu spread his hands, and it wasn't him who let Zhao Ji come out to cheat privately, he couldn't stop Zhao Huan from scaring himself to death, and he couldn't care how the descendants arranged him, anyway, Tang Taizong was much more ruthless than him, and it was still not the evaluation of the eternal Mingjun.

After figuring out this layer, Zhao Jiu's temper was gone, and he announced that he was dispersed after the meal. On the second day, we will have a day off, and then we will continue to discuss this military-civilian mediation relationship, and also ask all the commanders and local officials to write a copy of the adjustment. Sum up experience and put forward solutions.

He rested this day, not because of mourning for the waste of snacks, but because of the urgent arrival of the southeast roads. This year, the Yellow River has been safe and sound, but south of the Huaihai Sea to the Yangtze River basin, there has been a once-in-a-century freezing disaster, heavy snow falling, freezing to death of livestock, and countless people.

What's even worse is that I don't know who said it, but it was a warning of natural disasters caused by the official family having no king and no father, improper position, and questionable bloodline.

Li Guang and Liu Ziyu were both furious, and frantically arrested these rumor-mongers in their own jurisdiction. But the reason why a rumor is a rumor is a rumor is that he is not there (as long as it is not organized). However, the people at the bottom, especially the people in the south, did not feel the war, but only felt the tax increase, and they did not love this son of heaven as much as the north, which caused a large area of rumors to rage.

Zhao Jiu had expected such disturbances since the White Horse Incident, so he was not too angry, and only told the provincial officials to actively relieve the disaster.

But the matter in the south has not been resolved, there is an accident in the north of Yanjing, the heavy snow in western Liaoning has collapsed countless houses, and many cattle and sheep have froze to death, especially the Khitan Autonomous Road has suffered serious losses, and Yelu Yudu has been crying and shouting to apply for assistance from the imperial court.

This is the first large-scale natural disaster encountered by the Zhao Guanjia in the nearly 14 years since he ascended the throne. If it weren't for the fact that the harbor was profitable last year, Zhang Junzhen found him the Spice Island and earned at least a hundred helplessly, and he would have been able to empty the treasury if he had honored half of the official family.

And disaster relief isn't all about money. Cotton, grain, and. Personnel placement is a problem, and a large number of low-level officials need to do it themselves.

Of course, if the army is disciplined enough, it can also make great efforts to fight disasters.

Zhang Xian patted his chest and assured that after getting permission, he took the front army of the imperial camp to relieve the disaster for the people of Liaoxi, and the praise he received was amazing, and the spirit of the Yue family army was carried forward in his hands, helping the people, hoeing snow and distributing food, and not taking a stitch and a thread. Officially promoted to the former military commander of the imperial camp.

Although other troops did not dare to look at the back of the Yue family's army. After all, after ten years of war, no one wants to die in the country.

For a time, the military-civilian problem, which had prominent contradictions, was temporarily alleviated. But life at the imperial court was still not easy, because natural disasters were even more terrible.

The taxes of Zhao Guan's family can be reduced, but the forced labor must be increased, otherwise the heavy snow can collapse the house, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death. For a time, the north and south of the river were full of complaints.

The officials in the system, some scholars with a sense of justice, feel that these broken mouths are too much, is it for himself that the Zhao official family is doing this?

In the imperial history, Yan Xiaozhong used his mouth cannon skills in the process of inspecting the Huai River, and scolded a folk man who had read a little book but was full of complaints.

The disaster in Jinzhou was also serious, and Li Ruopu, the governor of Jinzhou, who was demoted, did not complain so much, but just said to Lu Jiusi: "The sage said that the people can make it, but they can't make it known." But you look at these people. The southerners are just fine, but the people of Hedong should always know that it was the official family who saved them from fire and water, and no one felt good after this natural disaster. If it reaches the ears of the official, I really don't know how she will feel. ”

Lu Jiusi also had a huge workload, and sighed: "What Zhizhou said is true, but this person's heart is not enough to swallow elephants, and it is difficult to calm the desires, it is just human nature, and the official family is the son of the Holy Tomorrow, it is estimated that he will laugh at it when he hears this, and we just need to do our part." "He is under more pressure, his son and brother are young children, and the family does not have a brazier for a day, for fear of freezing people to death, but now the price of charcoal is almost the same as that of refined copper.

What they don't know is that since there was a large-scale natural disaster, how could Zhao Guan's family have the leisure to go to the heavenly street to listen to what people say about him, and he either led his ministers to dig snow or locked himself in a small black house all day long.

Yes, this engineering dog is trying to find a way to solve the problem of cold weather, and there have been earth mines in this era for a long time, but practicality and modernity are still incomparable. He looked for a lot of information and found that there was a record, "The ring house is an earthen bed, under which the fire burns and sleeps and eats on it, it is called a kang to keep it warm." ”

However, according to his question, most of these clay kang are only found in the northeast region, that is, the current Khitan Autonomous Road and Liaodong region, while Hedong, Hebei and even the Central Plains have experienced years of war, with scarce trees and very expensive coal processing. Even with the craft of clay kang, most people do not have firewood.

But there are some ways to do it, Zhao Guanjia hurriedly ordered Zong Ying to promote the use of the kang on a large scale, so that one person can live alone, Zong Ying also thinks this method is very good, and hurriedly went to do it.

Instead, Hong Shi asked, "Why didn't the officials let them use coal?" ”

Zhao Guanjia looked at the three generations of officials, and didn't reply anyway, why don't you eat meat and rice? If the charcoal is so easy to make, will Lao Tzu work so hard?

As a result, Hong Shi's next words actually made his eyes light up, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so happy that he built a palace so much that he cut down too many trees. There is not enough firewood. Later generations will replace it with pulverized coal, "Jin Shu, Relatives Biography, Yang Xiu" said: "Crumbs of charcoal and make the shape of a beast to warm wine, fire, Meng beasts are all open to people, impressive", Northern Zhou Yuxin said in "Xie Zhao Wang Silk Cloth Qi": "Cover bird feathers but not warm, but beast charcoal and over the cold." "In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was also called fragrant briquettes, and my brother Hong Zun liked these miscellaneous books and notes very much, and studied a lot."

Isn't this the prototype of honeycomb coal? Zhao Guanjia's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Hong Shi, hating to shake him out of the secret recipe, "What about your brother, can he make these briquettes?" Call him! ”

Hong Shi was almost shaken up by him, and it took a long time to calm down and say, "Official, you can call your brother over to give it a try." But where is the coal mine? ”

Zhao Guanjia waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, I'm here to find it." "Just kidding, there are no coal mines in Shanxi, you lived in vain as a person in my last life?

It is only the Song Dynasty now, and the amount of mining is not much, and the above-ground and underground storage must be large, and it is easier to find.

Hong Shi didn't know that by chance, he put his younger brother on the throne of the original school giant.

——Xiaofanwai Theater——

Dubbing of the documentary "Remember Homesickness".

In the history of Jiangxi, the Southern Song Dynasty is definitely a dynasty that cannot be ignored. According to the records of the county, only in Raozhou, there are 23 prime ministers and 2,097 jinshi in the territory alone, including 13 champions, 6 Bangyan and 5 Tanhua. There are too many to mention.

And the Hougang Town of Leping, Raozhou, which we walked into today, is a little special, because they not only have a family here, a father and son, but also a pioneering scientist Hong Zun was born here, leaving an ancient house.

Hong Zun's father, Hong Hao, is the ancestor of the Leping Hong family. Hong Hao, the word Guangbi, a native of Leping, Raozhou, Song, and a famous patriotic minister of the two Song Dynasty. When he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was sent to the Jin State, was detained in the desert for ten years, was loyal and unyielding, returned to the whole festival, was known as the contemporary, and was given to the Taishi Wei Guogong, and was called Zhongxuan after his death.

As the second son, Hong Zun is not like his brother Hong Shi who became a close minister of Song Shizu early and rose to prominence, but prefers to delve into some science and technology, such as medicine, gunpowder and even coins, but his most famous deeds are undoubtedly in the thirteenth to fifteenth years of Jianyan. With the support of Song Shizu, he carried out innovative development of pulverized coal and directly became the ancestor of modern honeycomb coal.

At that time, it also saved hundreds of people who were struggling to survive due to climate change.
