Chapter 261: Growth
The most difficult problems were solved, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"I'll hand over the drawings and manufacturing methods to the Ministry of Industry later, and you must organize people to make a few more sets.
Then the household department contacted General Cao, trained the soldiers as soon as possible, and immediately prepared to transport food and various heating materials. ”
The so-called General Cao is the original Sili Lieutenant Cao Teng, who became the general of Gyeonggi Province after the restructuring.
The relevant people immediately received the order, and Yin Song, a scholar of the secretary province, said.
"Your Majesty, there are many poor people in the alleys, they are not clothed, and there is no overnight food at home, if you don't help them as soon as possible, it may be difficult to support them."
Yin Song was recommended by the former lieutenant Yin Xun before he retired, and he got along with Liu Zhijunchen quite well for most of the past half a year.
Although he was born in a family of eunuchs, he acted very considerate of ordinary people, which was particularly rare among the arrogant scholars.
"Immediately send an order, officials at all levels to distribute manpower, and concentrate all the people in distress in the White Horse Temple, Tianshi Palace, Taixue, and Huangzhuang in the suburbs.
Distribute food rations uniformly, and make fires together to protect from the cold until the snow disaster is lifted. ”
After a short discussion, all the officials at all levels in the capital were mobilized, and the captain of the city gate and the governor of the city gate were responsible for maintaining law and order, and helping the civilians to clear the snow from the roof.
Liu Zhi immediately seized the time and drew the drawings of the sleds and snowboards, which fortunately had a simple structure.
It's easy to use, but it takes a little time to become proficient.
The Ministry of Works joined forces with all the craftsmen of the Inner Prefecture and then used some wagons to transport goods to modify the sleds, and the skis were easier to make.
A considerable number of sleds and skis were made that night, and the sleds were easy to do, and horses and oxen pulled them by hand and even sheep pulled them by sheep, and everything was done.
But skiing requires rigorous training, and even now there are no instructors, so the soldiers can only figure it out on their own.
But time waits for no one, and there is no effort for them to train slowly.
That night, the heavy snow did not stop, the north wind was raging, and on the training ground, which was illuminated by the crystal snow, groups of soldiers were practicing desperately.
From time to time, some people wrestled together, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces, but they were still gritting their teeth and insisting, the military order was like a mountain, and now the Han Forbidden Army is strictly disciplined, and it is no longer the appearance of the second ancestor of the year.
After dawn, the sled car has been put into use, ready to transport the materials of Henan Yin granary into the capital in batches.
The horses of the forbidden army were all requisitioned, but the wind and snow were too strong, and even if there were horses, it was still difficult, so the efficiency was still low.
It's just that it's much better than the situation before when it couldn't be transported to Jingshi, at least there is hope.
Although the number is small, at least it is still being sent into the city in a steady stream, so as not to make people despair.
The winter of the first year of Xiyuan has impressed many people of the older generation, and even after 10 or 20 years, there are still many elders who mention it with emotion.
"The snow that year, it fell intermittently for half a month, and I have never seen such a big snow in my life......"
The White Horse Temple, the Heavenly Master Palace, Taixue, the Imperial Village outside the city, and the entire West Garden, and even the royal Fanglin Garden were all contributed to resettle the victims.
In the gorgeous and exquisite Hong Lim Garden in the past, in order to keep warm, the windows of the main hall were simply sealed with thick wooden boards, and several bonfires were burned in the hall, and many victims were crowded in the main hall.
There was no quilt, so a thick layer of dry straw could only be laid, and then women and the elderly were organized to weave some straw mats as quilts to cover.
The men were not idle, young and strong put on donated old clothes, followed the soldiers out to clear the snow in the city, and transported them to the suburbs.
If such a large amount of snow is not eradicated in time, the house will be submerged, and once the snow melts, it will cause secondary disasters, and then there will be another round of flooding in the city.
The older ones are responsible for maintaining order among the victims, patrolling day and night to prevent fires and bullying people.
The younger women were responsible for boiling rice porridge, sewing and mending the donated clothes, and even sewing some single clothes on top of each other to keep warm.
Young boys and girls in their teens are responsible for taking younger brothers and sisters, and Liu Zhi asked the palace maids to teach them to skip rope and sing children's songs.
As long as you move, you don't feel so cold, it's better than hiding in the grass and shivering.
Concubine Deng Meng took the initiative to stand up and took on the task of resettling the victims, she sent Princess Yang'an to Yongle Palace, dressed simply, and ran around.
For this reason, she also called on the palace to reduce the amount of food and clothing, and she only ate porridge and side dishes every day, and the things saved from the Hehuan Hall were donated to the victims.
His elder brother Deng Yan also took action in this wave of snow disaster, vacating his own school and housing a large number of people affected by the disaster.
and his wife Yang Yi are busy raising food and clothing everywhere, and now they can help one in this situation.
At the very least, take the lead in reducing the burden on the imperial court.
Liu Zhi is very grateful for the positive behavior of the Deng siblings, and although he is busy with government affairs every day, he will also find time to visit Deng Meng and accompany her to visit the victims.
Looking at her simple and busy figure, Liu Zhi suddenly realized that the woman in front of him, who was only eighteen years old, had really grown up.
She is no longer the spicy and brutal little pepper she was back then, although she is still in a hurry, bold and neat.
But in her eyes, there is already a kind of calmness that belongs to adults, and it is not denied that what she does has a certain element of showmanship.
But she did do a lot of practical things, instead of just being perfunctory for the sake of show, she made Liu Zhi impressed.
In his heart, Deng Meng is still a little girl, speaking crisply like popping beans, and laughing is particularly happy and bright.
For so many years, he had never seen Deng Meng's sad face, or sighing, it should be said that her bumpy experience had created her precociousness, but it also made her tenacious.
If Liu Zhi in the past only felt that Deng Meng's feelings were his own woman, then at this moment, he found out that Deng Meng was his wife.
A lifelong partner who can share responsibilities with him and withstand the ups and downs.
……
Fortunately, after half a month of snowfall, the snow finally stopped, and one early morning at the end of the month, the sunlight broke through the thick clouds and shone on the snow-capped Suzaku Castle Tower, reflecting a brilliant brilliance.
Liu Zhi's heart, which had been shrouded in clouds, also cleared, but now is far from the time to relax.
Anyone who has experienced a cold snap knows that when the snow melts, it really kills.
The temperature dropped sharply, the roads were icy, and water was running in all directions...... If you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe.
And people who have experienced long-term frostbite are exhausted.
Liu Zhi issued a strict order in the form of an edict, officials and the army at all levels should go all out to provide disaster relief, and they would not slacken, and if there were a large number of casualties, they would not be spared.
When the snow melted, the roads were muddy, the ice was slippery, the sleds were completely useless, and even the carriage sank into a mud puddle without moving.
Or because the road surface is too slippery, it breaks and retreats.
Within a few days, a large number of horses were injured, and you must know that many of them were strong military horses, which the Great Han spent countless money and manpower to cultivate.
Now he did not fall on the battlefield, but fell because of the disaster relief, which is making the heart of an old general of the Military Aircraft Government drip blood.
But there is no way, people's lives are at stake, they gallop across the battlefield to fight, isn't it just so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment?
In many cases, the generals who have experienced the baptism of blood and fire have more family and country feelings and a spirit of sacrifice than those civil servants.
In the second year of the Xi Dynasty, the first day of the great pilgrimage was directly canceled because of the snow disaster, and this kind of flashy, wasteful celebration of manpower and material resources is not worth mentioning in the face of the disaster.
But there is an edict that is particularly eye-catching, the virtuous concubine Deng Meng was canonized as a noble concubine by His Majesty, because it was during the disaster relief period, and the canonization ceremony was not held.
However, he deliberately issued an edict to order the Beijing division to celebrate together, and this time Deng Meng was active in disaster relief, and also won the praise of the government and the opposition, and many people who had received her favor were very grateful.
It can be said that because of Deng Meng's responsible behavior, she has accumulated a good reputation and prestige among the people.
So after the edict, everyone applauded, whether it was reputation or qualifications, she could afford the name of the concubine.
Most of the beauties in the palace know that they are still young when they enter the palace, and they are not qualified enough to compete with them.
Many people understand in their hearts that it is only a matter of time before Deng Meng becomes the queen, and she will definitely be the master of the harem in the future.
Therefore, a few of them were smarter, and immediately chose to follow allegiance, actively responded to Deng Meng's call for disaster relief, and followed her to raise materials to comfort the victims.
Among them, Geng Xian Geng is the most prominent, because of her mediocre appearance, so she has only been sealed a talented person, and her position is very low.
But because she was full of poetry and books, she acted generously and steadily, and won the love of the Empress Dowager Yun.
In this disaster relief, she was also the first among the beauties of the harem to stand up and take refuge in Deng Meng, because she was shrewd and capable, she helped Deng Meng a lot and became her right-hand man.
Therefore, after the disaster, Deng Meng immediately asked the Empress Dowager Yun, and she suggested to the emperor that Geng Cairen's position be elevated to full.
And Liu Zhi's heart is good at cultivating Tian Mi, she is a typical delicate and weak girl, a lantern beauty who falls down when the wind blows.
In such an extremely cold weather, even if she burned a prosperous charcoal fire for her, she was still shivering from the cold, hiding in the Spring Festival Hall all day long, and did not dare to go out at all.
And Liu Zhi has been so busy lately that his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't have time to visit her at all, Tian Mi feels a little aggrieved, you are really sad and self-pitying.
Due to his poor mood and depression, he got a cold in a few days, lingering on the sickbed, until the spring flowers bloomed, and gradually improved.
Liu Zhi was very distressed, and specially instructed the hospital to take care of it, but because the wind cold was contagious, the Empress Dowager Yun knew about it and strictly forbade Liu Zhi to visit.
And he has always been a filial child, and basically never confronts his mother, so he can only often reward something to show comfort.
In the first month, the weather finally cleared, and the snow disaster became a thing of the past, and all parts of the capital were busy relocating the people.
In this severe snowstorm, although the imperial court actively participated in the disaster relief, the losses were still serious, and more than half of the ordinary houses in the capital were destroyed.
The death toll of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled and other people with low resistance is also very staggering, and the straw mats used to protect against the cold during the disaster relief were all taken and wrapped in corpses.
It was supposed to be a festive New Year, but white flags were floating everywhere, and for several days, the crying continued, and the atmosphere was very low.
Under such circumstances, even though the snow disaster has passed, the Lantern Festival celebration on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been canceled in the palace.
In this situation, where do you let the people have the heart to come to the festival?
The six departments of the imperial court are still running at high speed, and they dare not relax at any time, and if they do not help the victims repair their houses in time, some people will continue to freeze to death in the winter.
It can't be that so many people live in a temple or palace all the time.
Time was pressing, and it was definitely too late to burn bricks, so we had to organize a large number of people to go to the suburbs and mountains to cut wood, while the women were responsible for cutting the thatch, gathering the strength of 10,000 people, and building the house first.
Even if it is simple, at least it can provide temporary shelter from the wind and rain.
Wait until spring, and then slowly and orderly rebuild their homes.
After the Lantern Festival, the local officials who were trapped in the capital because of the snow disaster all hurriedly embarked on the return journey.
This year's snowstorm came violently and swept over a large area, in addition to the Sili Captain's Department, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Yanzhou, as well as parts of Jingzhou, were affected.
It's just that the extent of the damage varies from place to place, and the damage cannot be counted for a while, but it is estimated that it is serious.
After all, whether in terms of manpower or material resources, Jingshi is already the most powerful, plus there are many clans and nobles in Luoyang City, and the proportion of people from wealthy families is much higher than elsewhere.
At the beginning of the second year of Xiyuan, it was so tragic that it was memorable.
The Han Empire, which had suffered many disasters, had just embarked on the road of reform and was hit head-on.
This made Liu Zhi, who was originally a little ambitious, suddenly find that the foundation of the Han Dynasty is still so weak, and a natural disaster with a slightly larger scope immediately puts the country in a predicament.
It seems that he is really a little floating, and he has had a good year in the last year, so that he gets carried away and is complacent.
Now he knows that if a country wants to really grow, it is not as easy as he imagined.
Throughout the first half of the year, the court was very busy, not only to clean up the mess and help the people rebuild their homes, but also not to delay the spring ploughing.
Otherwise, if you take care of one or the other, in the second half of the year, if there is not enough food to eat, it will also make people anxious.
In addition to being busy, Liu Zhi has been thinking about the construction of roads, and when the snow disaster came, he found that the biggest shortcoming was road traffic.
Extend your thinking, in addition to snow disasters, other natural disasters such as earthquakes and wind disasters, if the traffic is not smooth, the same will delay the rescue, causing serious consequences.
You can build a dirt road, even if you pave some sand and gravel, the effect is still not good in heavy rain, if you can have a cement road, it would be great.
Thinking of the spacious and hard cement pavement in later generations, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
If it is said that the raw materials for making cement are not difficult to find, the difficulty is that he really can't remember the formula ratio.
