Chapter 839: Heavy Snow Covers the Mountain
It snowed heavily for seven days, and Su Rong lost his temper.
She called Zhang Yun in front of her and gave him a death order, "If you think about it, the military department will study the rolling cart for shoveling snow as soon as possible, otherwise, you will go and shovel snow and open the road by yourself." ”
The corners of Zhang Yun's mouth twitched, "Lady, hey, Your Highness, don't stare at the minister, Qin Tianjian said that there is heavy snow this winter, very snow, rare in a hundred years, this is not what the minister said, the minister is not in a short period of time, and there is no way for the military department to build a car of this purpose as you said." ”
Su Rong looked at him, "I don't care, anyway, if you think of anything, just make a tool for shoveling snow." ”
Zhang Yun immediately said: "Shouldn't this be the work of the military department?" ”
"No, the iron tools are under the control of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Engineering is mostly wooden tools, so it's useless at this time, in short, you go and think about it." Su Rongcai didn't want to hear him say that he couldn't make it, she just wanted things and results that could be used, "Now that the snow has closed the mountain, even the road to the royal capital has been blocked, it is difficult for cars and horses to travel, and it is even more difficult for people to travel. ”
Zhang Yuntou was a little big, but he also knew that what Su Rong said was right, but he still had the strength of the number of people, and immediately said: "Let the Ministry of Engineering work together with wooden tools, sharpening them may not be useless." ”
"Okay." Su Rong nodded: "You are limited to five days." ”
Zhang Yun's eyebrows jumped twice, turned around and hurriedly left.
Su Rong summoned the people from the Ministry of Industry and ordered them to go down as well.
So, the two tried their best day and night to think about the development, because Su Rong urged three times a day, forced people to be anxious, and really came up with a simple snow shovel to open the road rolling car, mixed wood and iron, shovel the snow on both sides of the road, although the speed is not fast, but at once built four or five cars, together action, the effect is still very impressive.
After building a rolling cart for shoveling snow, Zhang Yun was so tired that he fell asleep for a day, and then entered the palace to ask Su Rong for credit.
Su Rong rewarded him very generously, precious medicinal materials, silk and satin cloth, gold and silver jewelry, and gave him a cart.
Zhang Yun felt that it was worth it, "Lady, you are so generous, the minister swears allegiance to you, and next time you have such an order, you will still find the minister." ”
With that, he left with the reward without any opinion. I didn't think that when Su Rong came to Southern Chu with 300,000 troops from Daliang, the military salary expenses along the way were all calculated by him after deducting the Zhang family's Jinshan. Compared with what he spent, this car is a drop in the bucket now.
But although he forgot, Su Rong remembered it for him, thinking that in the future, whenever he has merit, she will reward him more, and he can't let him lose too much.
Zhou Gu and Ye Guixue were also left in the three southern states because of the large area of snow in Southern Chu.
Zhou Gu looked at the wind and snow outside, although the wind and snow had stopped, but it was difficult for cars and horses to travel, and the road was blocked, if they wanted to return to Beijing, they were afraid that it would be difficult. He frowned and asked Midnight, "How is the damage outside?" ”
Midnight shook his head, "Someone has been sent to investigate, and there is no news yet, such a big snow, the simple thatched houses of the poor people, I'm afraid they can't hold it, and they have long been crushed by the snow." ”
Zhou Gu rubbed his eyebrows, turned back to Ye Guixue and said, "Now that the snow has stopped, let the army shovel snow and open the way, and arrange disaster relief from the three southern states first, right?" ”
Ye Guixue also sighed, "It seems that we won't be able to go back for a while." ”
He is easy to say, at most, it is a matter of the ministry, and he lets others do it, but in addition to the affairs of the household department, there are still people in the royal capital who are worried about it.
He suggested, "Brother Zhou, will you go back to the royal capital first?" ”
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Do you want to leave it alone?" That's it, how can you be left alone to deal with so many things? ”
Ye Guixue said sincerely: "I can handle it." ”
Zhou Gu still shook his head, "I know that you can handle it, but alone, it will always be slower, and after the secret guard detects the situation, you and I will take people to act separately." ”
When he saw that the night returned to the snow, he had to persuade him to gag his mouth with a sentence, "Even if I am in a hurry, I can't leave you alone, lest I be busy before the year." After all, if I get married to Su Rong, you have to rush back to drink the wedding wine. ”
Ye Guixue smiled and said nothing, "Okay!" ”
The next day, the Dark Guard sent back a message that the damage outside was very serious. Long before the heavy snow came, Qin Tianjian predicted that heavy snow was coming, and the princess, Yexiang and others hurriedly deployed, but they only had time to deploy the royal capital within a radius of 500 miles. The remaining large area of Southern Chu didn't have time, after all, this snow was sudden, and Qin Tianjian was able to make a prediction two days ago, which was already very capable.
Midnight muttered, "Dawei is raining heavily this summer, Nanchu is snowing heavily this winter, what's the matter, why don't you all go to Dawei?" ”
Zhou Gu glanced at Midnight, "Although the heavy snow is the loss of the imperial court, it is the people who suffer. Whether it is heavy rain or heavy snow, it is not a good thing to fall anywhere, and it is better to have fewer natural disasters like this. ”
Midnight sighed, "Gongzi is benevolent, and even the people of Great Wei have mercy." ”
Zhou Gu flicked his head, "When my daughter-in-law swallows Great Wei, those people will also become the people of Southern Chu." Why not be merciful? ”
Midnight covered his head, "At least ten years, childe, you think too far." ”
"Not far." It's only been ten years.
After the heavy snowfall, the royal capital went up and down, civil and military officials, and the first urgent thing was to dispatch manpower, arrange for snow shoveling to open the road, and go to various places for disaster relief.
Almost half of the officials in the court were sent out, young and strong, one or two people with a group of people, in charge of a place.
Nangong Yun and Cui Yanjin went to Baochang County, which was six hundred miles away from the royal capital.
On the way, he looked at Nangong Yun and a woman, obviously looking very thin, but after riding a horse for a day against the cold wind, he didn't even fall, and among women, he was very capable. After all, most women are delicate, and there are very few like his mother and cousin.
He asked Nangong Yun, "Sister Yun, have you practiced martial arts?" ”
Otherwise, ordinary people can't hold on.
Nangong Yun shook her head, "My father was afraid that I would be bullied, so he found someone to teach me some fist and foot kung fu, just to strengthen my body, and I don't know how to practice martial arts." ”
Cui Yanjin nodded, "That's enough." You're so staked, you've been riding a horse for a day, and you haven't seen you fall. ”
Nangong Yun smiled tiredly, "I'm still very tired, if I ride for half a day in a row, I will definitely not be able to stand it." ”
"That's also very powerful, someone has been arranged to investigate the situation in advance, we can walk slowly, anyway, the road is close, and when the guards understand the situation, we will also get to the place." Cui Yanjin said.
Nangong Yun nodded, thinking to herself that Master Xiao Cui, although she was not very old, she acted in an orderly manner, and she was not mature enough to make her, a person a few years older, and she had to let herself grow up as soon as possible. (End of chapter)
