One of the oldest children in the Temple immediately stood up.

His face was full of excitement.

Suddenly, the originally lifeless City God Temple became even more lively.

Everyone scrambled to their feet.

"Nope! Xiaohua, you girls don't go. ”

The big bull brother suddenly spoke again, sweeping over a few scrawny girls, as well as two or three smaller children.

"You all stay here, don't worry, since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has ordered, we will definitely not be starved to death."

Brother Niu said.

The child who took the lead was a little hesitant.

Everyone else looked at him too.

At this time, Brother Da Niu spoke again.

"Don't be stunned, let's go."

"Don't worry, really rest assured, even if you don't believe what I say, but since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has given the order, will he not consider you? If you don't believe me, but, you have to believe His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Brother Niu said again.

As soon as these words came out, the child who took the lead breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered his head.

He didn't want these children to follow.

After all, they're too small.

"Okay, that's it!"

"Xiaohua, you stay here and take care of them."

"Don't worry, with us here, you will definitely not be hungry, not to mention, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a plan, let's believe His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

The kid clenched his fists tightly.

"Let's go!"

Brother Niu turned around and plunged into the snowstorm.

Others, hurry up and keep up.

"Brother Niu, big brother, be careful."

"Be careful, return safely!"

Xiaohua ran to the door and shouted.

"Little Flower Sister ......."

A child called softly, a little scared.

After all, they are orphans, they usually act together, they have little sense of security in their hearts, and they are very afraid of being left behind.

Little Peanut took a breath, and she gently rubbed the child's head.

"Don't be afraid, don't worry, Brother Da Niu, they are going to follow His Royal Highness the King of Chu to do errands."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as you know, with His Royal Highness the King of Chu here, we will definitely be fine."

Little Flower comforts.

The children looked at her and nodded vigorously as they heard these words.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

How could they not have heard of this name.

It's thunderous!!

They all dreamed of being servants of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

This is already the biggest dream of this group of children.

The wind and snow outside seem to be getting heavier and heavier.

But, this time, there is a lot of hope in the wind.

Isn't it?

….……….…….

Guozijian.

Kong Yingda sat under the pavilion.

This pavilion is where he and Li Kuan used to talk together.

stared blankly at the heavy snow.

Trance.

Stunned.

"Chong Yuan, be careful of catching a cold, it's cold,"

Yu Shinan walked over slowly and put the big grub in his hand on Kong Yingda's body.

Kong Yingda relieved himself.

"Shinan, hey......."

Kong Yingda moved his body, sat down next to him, and made some room for Yu Shinan.

"Still worried about the people?"

Yu Shinan sat down and said with a smile.

"Yes, this heavy snow is coming too fast, people, what should I do?"

"Hey....... the imperial court is afraid that it will be difficult to react in a short period of time, and I don't know how many people will be displaced."

"It's hard, it's really hard! It's cold, and it's hard for the poor people. ”

Kong Yingda's face was full of sorrow.

"Hahahaha......."

Yu Shinan couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words.

"Shinan, why are you laughing?" Kong Yingda frowned slightly, puzzled.

"Chongyuan, this matter is not something we should consider, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there is a way!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu? His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not in Chang'an now, how can there be a way, no matter how smart His Royal Highness is, he can't think of Chang'an, the snow disaster that will happen so soon, even if it is an immortal, he will be caught off guard and panicked. ”

Kong Yingda didn't think about it, and retorted directly.

Even, he didn't hear the ease in Yu Shinan's voice.

"Hahaha......."

Yu Shinan laughed again and gently smoothed his beard.

"Chongyuan, no, you are wrong, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already given a way."

"Go and see, now in Chang'an, all the people have already moved with the imperial court."

"Strategy? Don't worry anymore. ”

Yu Shinan said with a smile.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Kong Yingda could be said to be like an installed spring under his buttocks, and he flew up directly.

The eyes are round.

Unbelievable.

He stared straight at Yu Shinan.

Have you already given a solution?

How is this possible!

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not in Chang'an now, can he still give a plan?

That's too much of a cowhide!

Incredible!!

Gollum.......

Kong Yingda's throat was a little itchy, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said in a trembling voice: "This ....... Shinan, what the hell is going on?" ”

The voice trembled.

The face is hot.

Get one’s dander up.

The soul trembles.

I'm still worried about it, and the people have been rescued by His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

it!

This is too godly!!

"It's true, rush away, don't doubt it."

Yu Shinan hurriedly helped the excited Kong Yingda, and helped him sit down again with a smile.

"What the hell is going on?"

Kong Yingda stared at Yu Shinan with a pair of old eyes.

Yu Shinan hurriedly explained and talked about the cash-for-work and honeycomb coal.

This shocked Kong Yingda.

It was really surprising and delightful.

In this way, the livelihood of the people should not be a problem.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it's really a good means!

Who would have thought that it would leave a way out for the people early.

Honeycomb coal!

According to Yu Shinan, it should be cheap and easy to use.

And then it's also very well made.

Then, the method of cash-for-work was used to maintain the lives of the people.

The court is not a disaster relief in vain, and the people are not just waiting for help, so it is really a great thing for the court and the people!

"Yes, yes!"

"Such a wonderful method, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really, unexpected, I can't believe it!"

"Huh....... if that's the case, this snow disaster won't cause much damage to my Datang."

"Hahaha....... go, let's go, inform all the students of Guozijian that if you can, you must participate in this operation."

Kong Yingda rubbed his hands, and when he spoke, his eyebrows were already dancing with excitement.

The heart that was hanging was finally completely stabilized.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!!

He couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

….………….….

And when it was late at night, the people returned.

And they were greeted by pots of fragrant porridge.

At the same time, there are also some items issued by the imperial court.

It's okay to finally survive this day.

Chang'an, after a long absence, showed laughter.

By the next day, the people no longer needed to lead, and they all walked spontaneously towards the coal mountain outside the city.

And, as the sun dawned and came out, it gradually stopped.

This coal mountain, which is very far from Chang'an****** is often just a lonely hill, but who would have thought that in just such a day, this place has become busy and in full swing.

At night, the first batch of honeycomb coal also reached the minimum conditions to be burned.

Temple.

The fire has been kindled.

Crackling and burning.

honeycomb coal, put it in.

The stove was very rudimentary, but it was built with a few stones, but the flames were already surging up like crazy.

In the originally cold City God Temple, there is finally a very good warmth.

The crowd gathered around the fireplace.

The light of the fire reflected the faces of each of them.

The youngest children all looked at the stove with smiles on their faces.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu's method is really powerful, who would have thought that it was only two days and almost solved the problem of heating in Chang'an."

The child who took the lead rubbed his stomach and said with great emotion.

The porridge I drank under the door just now still feels like my stomach is panicking.

When the others heard this, they all nodded again and again.

"Who said it wasn't, not only that, but we also feel that this porridge tastes different from the court's almsgiving, which we got in exchange for through our labor."

Someone also laughed and said it.

Not only can you drink the porridge for disaster relief, but everyone can also come with two servings.

In fact, if you divide one point, these two parts can become three parts.

This is the standard portion of feeding a family.

And if there are two people in a family who contribute, it can almost be eaten very full.

When you leave, you can also bring back a few honeycomb coals.

No matter how you look at it, it's all earned.

This makes the people who work really grateful in their hearts.

While grateful, there is also a sense of identity in my heart.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not regard them as disaster victims.

Look at this honeycomb coal, it was made by himself, he really contributed to His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the imperial court, and they drank this disaster relief porridge very comfortably.

"Hehehe....... having said that, but if there is no His Royal Highness the King of Chu, we will not even have the opportunity to work, it is His Royal Highness the King of Chu who created all this for us, although it is in exchange for labor, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu must be remembered in the bottom of his heart, and he can never forget it."

"We, in my opinion, all owe His Royal Highness the King of Chu a life."

The woman named Xiaohua spoke softly.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaohua, remember it, remember it."

"That's for sure, anyway, I can't forget the goodness of His Royal Highness King Chu in this life."

"Well, this time, if there is no His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I don't know how many people in the world will die."

“…….”

Several people gathered around the fire, all talking excitedly.

After a while, under the backdrop of warmth, drowsiness came up.

Outside the closed gate of the City God Temple, it seemed that the heavy snowfall that had stopped for a day continued to fall.

……….…….….

Tai Chi Palace.

A stove is placed in the center.

The head of the fire rose a foot high.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others were all around, one by one, their faces were full of red light, and the excitement on their faces was undisguised.

After two busy days, honeycomb coal has been on the right track.

And this honeycomb coal really shows its characteristics thoroughly.

It's so easy to make.

It's also too easy to burn.

"Your Majesty, now the people of the entire Chang'an are estimated to have burned honeycomb coal in every house, and those who haven't burned it should not need honeycomb coal, they are all rich people or something."

The eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time I really want to thank His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this honeycomb coal is really amazing, it is simply for the people."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's cheap, it's easy to use, it's simple, it's ....... from now on, the people are not short of heating, and even cooking or something, it's enough."

Du Ruhui echoed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the two counties of Wannian County and Chang'an, those Zhuangzi outside also have honeycomb coal sent down, and it is sold very cheaply, only ten yuan for a penny, but when this business is rolled out, it is a profit that should not be underestimated."

"The honeycomb coal produced by Coal Mountain every day is enough to support the use of the entire Chang'an for two days."

Li Jing reported.

The sword hanging over their heads was finally removed.

It's not easy!

For the past two days, they barely closed their eyes.

Li Shimin let out a long breath.

Nodding.

"Okay, that's good!"

"This winter, no matter what, at least the people are not cold."

"Then, then, it's just a matter of starvation."

Li Shimin's eyes were still extremely solemn.

But in the solemnity, there is also relaxation.

"No, Your Majesty, there's one more!"

However, at this time, Li Jing suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin, who was a little relaxed in his heart, suddenly mentioned it again.

Originally, he thought that the snow disaster should have been almost controlled.

Honeycomb coal solves the urgent task of heating the people.

The use of work to bring relief not only reduced the pressure on the imperial court, but also allowed the people to live.

How can there be anything else?

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others all looked at Li Jing fiercely, at a loss.

"Pharmacist, what?"

"What else can happen now?"

Before Li Shimin could speak, the eldest grandson Wuji had already asked.

"Yes, Pharmacist, what do you think?"

Li Jing agreed.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said softly: "Pharmacist, don't be restrained, but it's okay to say it." ”

Li Jing took a deep breath.

He turned his head and looked out of the hall worriedly.

God, it's going to be dark.

The wind is up again.

This snow, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel like it's going to start falling again.

"Your Majesty, if the snow continues to fall, when the time comes, the house will not hold up and will collapse."

Li Jing said in a deep voice, expressing his concerns.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and then they all looked out the door.

The snow hasn't slipped yet.

After so many days of accumulation, it is almost over the calf.

Fortunately, the snow was intermittent, and the people were able to clean the roof, but they all knew that the cleaning was not very thorough.

If it continues like this, it will be too late to clean it up, and the house will collapse, not for fun.

Once the houses of the people collapsed.

That's the real problem.

"However, we can't do anything about this ........"

"From the old man's point of view, he can only pray to God not to continue to snow."

Li Shimin pondered for a few breaths, thought about it, and shook his head with a wry smile.
