Although the wind and snow are heavy, many villagers in many newly formed villages are using long fences to clear the snow on roofs and roads.

It's just that the old snow has been frozen very firmly, and although I tried hard to remove the snow, I only picked up the snow that had just fallen.

"Old man, are these houses in danger?"

Yuan Zhi dismounted first and raised his hand to let Qianniuwei not surround him.

Alone, he walked straight up to an old man with pale hair who was shouting at the villagers to pick up snow, leaned into his ear, and asked loudly.

"Nothing matter, the houses that the imperial court asked craftsmen and soldiers to build are very strong, as long as the snow does not keep falling, there is no danger!" The old man also replied loudly.

Those who were clearing the snow saw a young man in a gorgeous costume, running over in the middle of winter, which was very strange.

Some people feel familiar.

This official seems to be the crown prince who patrolled the disaster area in the east of the city a few months ago.

But no one was sure, they couldn't help but froze, and the work in hand stopped.

The villagers who couldn't recognize it, but were good at observing, looked at the dozens of guards behind him like wolves and tigers, and understood that this was at least a big official.

When the old man saw that the villagers had stopped what they were doing, he couldn't help but shout and curse:

"What do you have to do, do you feel tired after doing it? It's really a loss for the hard work of the crown prince of the dynasty! ”

In the stinking scolding of splitting his head and covering his face, he suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were different, and the old man involuntarily tilted his head, only to find that the young man who had just asked was standing beside him with a smile on his face.

And the more than 20 followers behind him were all leading horses and carrying knives, like personal guards.

There was also a large number of horse teams in the distance, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

A villager whispered in his ear.

"Oh, it's His Royal Highness the Prince, the old man is dizzy, I didn't understand it before, it snowed so much, why did His Highness come?"

As he spoke, he knelt down on the spot, "Old man greets His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Seeing the old man kneeling, these victims reacted, threw down the tools in their hands one after another, and knelt down, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Old man, please get up, please get up!"

Yuan Zhi pulled the old man up first, bent down to help him remove the snow from his knees, and raised his head and shouted to the villagers:

"Folks, let's get up quickly, snow removal must be done every day, you can't let the snow accumulate into ice, you have to sweep it often, if you don't remove it for a day, the snow will pile up, and the ice and snow will pile up more and more, but it will be troublesome!"

He is talking about a simple principle of snow removal, and many people are ignorant nowadays, and the problem of laziness comes.

"Understood, His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Old man, is it okay to live in this house?" Yuan Zhi asked with a smile.

The gray-haired old man was a little excited at this time.

This year has been full of disasters and hardships, and everyone is homeless, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear.

Fortunately, it was the prince of the prison country who ordered disaster relief and resettled the victims everywhere.

The young people were assigned to the border areas to participate in the military households, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the women and children were resettled on the spot.

The yamen sent people to rush to build houses, and allocated relief food and winter supplies, including firewood, which were all well considered.

Therefore, for them, the crown prince is a living bodhisattva who is high above, and a great benefactor in the eyes of the people.

These days, many villagers have set up the immortal tablet of the prince at home, and they have made offerings in the house.

Being so close to the crown prince today made the white-haired old man almost seem to be in a dream.

A very young baby, bodhisattva heart.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this house is very good, every family has a fire kang and firewood!" The old man was a little incoherent, "This winter is colder than usual, we have fled from other places, and we are not familiar with life, if it weren't for Your Highness... Alas... This year we will not starve to death, but we will freeze to death. ”

Speaking of which, the old man is full of tears.

Yuan Zhi waved his hand modestly, raised his legs and walked into the simple houses made of rough wood, and looked carefully.

But looking at it, he couldn't help frowning.

Obviously, the construction team may have been in a hurry, and the workmanship was crude.

Although these wooden houses are fairly sturdy, there are many gaps between the woods.

This is due to the fact that the planks are not spliced in place.

The coldest wax moon has not yet arrived, and the northwest wind will carry snowflakes and pour into these cracks.

Can you imagine that the temperature in this house can be high?

During the wax moon, it is generally minus twenty or thirty degrees, and people do not freeze to death, but also have frostbite or frostbite disease.

The prince strode into the house, feeling that in addition to the kang side was a little warm, a little farther away, people felt cold and swishing, so cold that people shivered.

Even I feel cold, and at night, the condition of ordinary people can be imagined.

Seeing the prince walking out of the house with a frowning face, Wei Changjin knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

"Your Highness, please be kind to these builders, the time to build the house is too urgent, the construction is flat and the amount of work is huge, and I also thought that this is just a temporary building, so I didn't take too much care, I didn't expect this winter to come quickly, and it will be so cold, this is my mistake."

"When I turned around, the Zhan Mansion issued a decree of the prince to organize personnel to repair every household, so that the common people would not freeze to death from frostbite."

"It's not too late to make amends, loneliness doesn't have to blame the builders, but you must think carefully about doing things, and the affairs of the people are all big things." Yuan Zhi reprimanded.

"Yes..."

Wei Changjin nodded again and again, sweat coming out of his nervous forehead.

Having lost his temper, Yuan Zhi softened his tone and said to Wei Changyuan:

"Lord Wei, this matter will be urged by the Zhan Shifu of the East Palace, and from tomorrow until the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone, including officials of all sizes, will not be allowed to rest and rush to work. If there are not enough manpower, they can be transferred from the barracks, and the snow is so heavy that the soldiers cannot train normally, so they are looking for something for them to do. ”

The armed forces play an irreplaceable key role in emergencies and in emergency rescue and disaster relief.

On the side, more than a dozen villagers in Xincun listened to it clearly, and they were all tearful and grateful.

For many years, the imperial court has never seen such a good prince?

They didn't know what to say, so they could only kneel and kowtow again, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really the great savior of our people." ”

"Thank you, Prince, thank you again for the villagers!"

“……”

Yuan Zhi helped them up one by one, stood on a mound of earth by himself, and said to everyone with a smile:

"Old man, folks, don't do this, as the prince of the empire and the prince of the country, I must let the people live and work in peace and contentment, otherwise, I, the prince of the country, will be incompetent for the heavens."

The white-haired old man wiped his tears and nodded and laughed.

Unexpectedly, this young prince in his early twenties has such a bodhisattva heart, which is really a blessing for the people.

Here was a sigh and greeting, and suddenly, there was a commotion from the other side of the village, and there was a crowd.
