Chapter 100: A Serious Problem

"Uh...... It's good. With such a cold weather still in the original palace, I will definitely have to be cold again. ”

Regarding Zhou Zhengxiong's suggestion, Zhu Gaoxuan was naturally as good as a stream, so he was ready to get up and move.

"Blue Tiger, Cao Xing, a few of you strong guys will go and help His Royal Highness King Liang move, and my master and I won't go to make trouble."

"No problem. Your Highness doesn't have to go back, just move the five of us."

Saying that, the blue tiger pulled Cao Xing and the five people into the snow, but they didn't give Zhu Gaoxuan a chance to speak, and ran away.

However, seeing them jubilantly leaving, it was obvious that they were in a pretty good mood, and they were afraid that they were going out to play.

He also wanted to go out to play, but Zhuge Xuan and Zhou Zhengxiong didn't let him be idle and continued to teach every day.

However, he didn't study for long, and from the end of the day, the recruits who had gone out to give orders and investigate the situation came back one after another.

And Zhu Anlan and several officials also came over.

Zhu Gaoxuan was always concerned about the situation of the people, and he had no intention of studying, so the two had to stop first.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxuan, Zhu Anlan's face was brightly smiling, and he shouted excitedly as soon as he came in.

"Your Highness, good news, good news."

"The people of all 120 villages in Lantian have lived in small red brick buildings, and no one has been affected by the disaster; The people who originally lived in Lantian City have all moved back to the village today, so they don't have to worry about the cold. ”

"Although the buildings of the 20 camps were built later, they were all built, but there were no doors and windows, and the exiles simply dismantled the tents and used them as doors and windows.

A room without doors and windows will not be inhabited, and several families will squeeze into a suite, although it will be squeezed a little, it will not freeze, and no one will have an opinion. ”

Zhu Anlan's face was red, as if it was blown by the cold wind and as if he was excited.

It's just that Zhu Gaoxuan asked another question: "Do you have reserves of coal?" ”

"Yes...... All the buildings have a large amount of coal in reserve, and even if there is not much honeycomb coal produced in time, there are a lot of coal blocks, and there is absolutely no problem with burning kang for heating. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan thought of another question: "What about the grain?" ”

Hearing this question, Zhu Anlan said slightly: "The official forgot to ask about the food issue, but during this time, His Royal Highness's wages are paid every day, and the people have money in their hands, so they will hoard grain, so there should be no big problem." ”

"You go to the shops in the city now to check their inventory, and by the way, see if they are fully prepared for winter, and if they can't live in Lantian City, let them live in a nearby village first."

"Okay, the lower official will arrange it now."

Zhu Anlan turned around and left, and it didn't take long for Li Yuan to come back.

"Your Highness, all the buildings of the workshop have also been built, and the craftsmen who have not returned home have also entered these small buildings, and there is enough coal, but there is not much food left, and the grain in the lime workshop can only last for three days at most, and it must be replenished."

Compared with Zhu Anlan, Li Yuan is more reliable, and after saying this, he added:

"On the issue of drinking water, the lower officials have asked each workshop to take out containers to collect snowflakes, and they will not drink water if they think about it."

"Haha...... The master is reliable, if there is a food problem, wait for Liu Ham to come, see if we want to kill the sheep, if we can not kill it, don't kill it first, and eat the dried meat that was marinated before. ”

"Yes."

Since he knew that there would be heavy snow in the northwest, and even snow disasters, Zhu Gaoxuan was preparing for winter from the beginning.

Xiao Hongmian and Xiaomei came first.

"Your Highness, we have moved all the things from the old palace to the new palace, and the kang has also been burned, when will you go back?"

Xiaomei first bowed to the other people in the room before explaining her intentions.

"I'll go back later, and take care of all kinds of things first.

By the way, you and Xiaoju are in charge of the grain store in Lantian City, right? ”

"Yes."

"How much food do we have?"

"There are only 227 stone of rice, and the rest have been sold, and many people came to buy it this morning, and the slave thought that the palace would also eat, so it was not sold."

"There is also beef and mutton jerky leftovers, many of which have more than 30,000 stones, and the people don't buy much jerky."

"It's okay, 30,000 stone of grain is scattered, which is definitely enough for the people of Lantian to survive the winter."

After listening to Xiaomei's report, Zhu Gaoxuan's nervous face basically relaxed.

He looked at Xiao Hongmian again and asked, "Hongmian, how about the clothes of Huashang Pavilion, especially those sheepskin furs?" ”

Xiao Hongmian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Lord Wang, how can I kill too many cattle and sheep, there are still more than 136,000 pieces of sheepskin fur, but there are less than 100 pieces of linen and cotton clothes left."

Lord Wang, you miscalculated this time. ”

"What! So many sheepskin furs left? Barely sold? ”

Hearing this number, Zhu Gaoxuan was taken aback, he still wanted to prepare a sheepskin fur for the people of Lantian alone, but he didn't sell it?

At this time, Li Yuan coughed lightly and reminded:

"Ahem...... Your Royal Highness, when you made air-dried beef and mutton before, you gave each person a sheepskin, and if the people wanted to make a fur, they would make it themselves.

And the warmth effect of sheepskin fur on snowy days is not very good, and everyone will choose not to go out, so they hide at home and burn the kang to keep warm. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the benefits he had given to the people of Lantian before.

In winter, you need to consider two issues, food and clothing.

Now that it's all arranged, there's no problem.

While they were talking, the tall and sturdy Liu Ham barged in like a brown bear.

"Your Highness, a lot of sheep have died, kill them now or after the winter?

My suggestion is to kill it after the winter, because the heavy snow in winter will kill the sheep and not break it. ”

He didn't look at anyone in the room, but took off his coat and spoke loudly.

Li Yuan stepped forward to separate him from Xiao Hongmian, and shouted coldly: "Liu Hanmu, pay attention to your etiquette, the concubine of King Liang is also there." ”

"Oh...... Lao Ba was rude, and asked His Royal Highness for forgiveness. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't care about these subsections, waved his hand and asked directly:

"How many cattle and sheep died?"

"Because it was a sudden heavy snowfall, the weather dropped sharply, and we didn't build sheds for the cattle and sheep;

There were not many cattle dead, only 89, and more than 70,000 sheep died. ”

"Shhh...... In just one night, one morning, so many deaths, if the snow continues to fall, it won't freeze the cattle and sheep to death, right? ”

Hearing this number, Zhu Gaoxuan thought further and gasped directly.

"Your Highness, it's okay for this cow and sheep to die, although we have stored a large amount of alfalfa, but Your Highness, you still have more than 47,600 cattle and more than 720,000 sheep, and this alfalfa may not be enough for cattle and sheep to survive the winter."

For Zhu Gaoxuan's surprise, Liu Ham still felt that the sheep died less.

In this regard, everyone, including Zhuge Xuan, couldn't help but roll their eyes, the question is whether there are fewer deaths?

"Liu Hanmu, let me ask you, is it normal for a large number of cattle and sheep to die suddenly?"

"Normal, huh? As long as the herdsmen know, they will encounter such weather in three or five years at the least, or eight or nine years at most.
