Chapter 238: Cold Weather
"Watari is here, too."
As soon as Chen Zhou arrived at the construction site, he saw Cao Cao coming head-on.
Taixue is Chen Zhou's advocate reconstruction, as the highest grade school in the Han Dynasty, of course he wants to see how to construct.
"My lord."
Chen Zhou's hands stretched out in the warm cloak and bowed.
"Watayuki, this is polite to me."
Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for too much etiquette, they were not only friends but also relatives in private, just a little bit.
Guo Jia also followed Cao Cao's side, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "In such a cold weather, it is not easy to get here!" ”
They all laughed.
Of course, it is very clear that Chen Zhou doesn't want to take care of things, especially on icy and snowy days, he can come to the Taixue construction site to take a look, which is really rare.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll go out for a walk."
Chen Zhou responded with a smile: "It's just winter, we are in a hurry to rebuild Taixue, is this really okay?" ”
Cao Cao said: "As long as the money and food given are enough, not to mention the winter, even if the weather is a little colder, there are still many people who are willing to come to work, besides, I need this Taixue very much, and I hope to complete it as soon as possible." ”
After Chen Zhou's reminder, Cao Cao understood the importance of Taixue.
The sooner it is completed, the sooner it will be able to oppose the Maison's sanctions.
Rebuilding Taixue is one of the important strategies.
Chen Zhou understood Cao Cao's thoughts and said, "The lord has Taixue and can do a lot of things. ”
Guo Jia said: "I have also read your books, I never thought that books can be done like this, admire!" ”
"It's not worth mentioning."
Chen Zhou said modestly.
At this time, the construction site is officially started.
The buildings on the east side of the palace were all demolished, but fortunately, there are not many residential buildings here, and they were taken away by Xiahou Yuan yesterday and sent to other places for resettlement, so that they can be demolished so easily.
The demolition is actually nothing to look at, they came here, just to show the importance of the construction site, and then there was no then, but not long after watching, someone came again.
"So the lord is here."
Xun You walked over, exhaled a breath of white air, brushed away the snow on his body, and said softly: "There are another group of displaced people outside the city, in addition, some of the houses of the people of Yuzhou have been crushed by the snow, and according to the reports of the counties below, many people have died of cold." ”
When he had finished speaking, he felt a chill hit him.
This ghost weather is uncomfortable!
It's getting colder every year.
They have a large family, and they can also use charcoal for heating and burn a charcoal stove, which is still very comfortable.
But it is impossible for ordinary people to have carbon, and even if they do, they are sold in the city for money, and there are almost no warm clothes, and in today's weather, it is not strange to die of cold.
"Displaced people again?"
Guo Jia said: "Our temporary resettlement site is already crowded with displaced people, and I am afraid that we will not be able to accept them if we come again. ”
Cao Cao said: "Even if you can't accept it, you have to continue to receive it." ”
Population is the foundation of development, and the gathering of displaced people in Xudu can bring a lot of people.
As long as the displaced people from outside are resettled and they survive, Cao Cao will be able to replenish his troops from these displaced people in the spring of next year, and cultivate the abandoned fields in Yuzhou and Yanzhou for them.
In order to fight the world, provide all kinds of logistical support.
These homeless people, they don't want to let go.
"Continue to build a few greenhouses and use thicker straw to block the wind, and Gongda and others will go to Mao Gong and ask him to allocate a batch of food to relieve the displaced people." Cao Cao said again.
Mao Gong is Mao Jue.
He drew up a preliminary development blueprint for Cao Cao, and for the first time proposed to Cao Cao that he would serve the Son of Heaven as a person who would not be subordinate.
He is currently serving as the Grand Si Nong of the Han Dynasty in Xudu.
In charge of finance and warehouses.
Xun You said: "There are too many displaced people now, in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and some Sizhou, all the people who have been affected by the disaster, all need us to allocate food relief, and it is possible to fight with Yuan Shao next year, if too much food is consumed in winter, how will it be good in the coming year?" ”
Hearing this, everyone felt that the food crisis had broken out again.
You must know that when the army is mobilized, the food is like flowing water, and it is consumed very quickly, especially the scale of the fight with Yuan Shao, which requires a lot of troops, and there must be defense lines everywhere.
The grain and grass will be used more, and Cao Cao's accumulated family funds can be used up quickly.
I cut a handful of leeks from the family and the grain merchant before, and the grain I got was enough, but this kind of leek can only be cut once, and no one will be fooled the second time.
"Is there a way to cross it?"
Cao Cao immediately asked.
Guo Jia and the others all set their eyes on Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou thought for a long time, his eyes fell on the construction site, and said: "The workers here are all Yingchuan people, not homeless people, in fact, you can change a batch of displaced people accepted outside the city to replace them with work for relief." First, it can ensure the construction of Taixue, and secondly, it will not delay the relief, which can save part of the cost, and I believe that the displaced people are also very happy. ”
Guo Jia agreed: "This method is good, but how can we get a large amount of food next?" ”
Chen Zhou shook his head and said: "Similar to the last method, I don't have it for the time being, but I want to get a lot of grain in the coming year, and the only thing that can be done is Tuntian, and this method has already been done." ”
When he first accepted the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao asked them to settle the fields to ensure that the food was sufficient.
"After the beginning of spring, I will give the lord some advice on agriculture, maybe to increase production and ensure tax revenue." This is the only way that Chen Zhou can do.
"Now that it's cold and snowy, and there are countless cold deaths, is there a way to cross it?" Xun You asked.
They had already discussed it, but they couldn't discuss anything.
For example, if the displaced people accepted outside the city do not have corresponding cold protection measures, many people can also die of cold, so that Cao Cao's goal of wanting a population cannot be achieved.
"It's actually simple."
Chen Zhou had already prepared for the cold, and said: "To deal with the cold weather, in addition to warm clothes, it is to bake the fire to keep out the cold, but charcoal and other things are more valuable than gold in winter." If there is something that can replace charcoal, it is even better than charcoal, and the cost is not high, and the lord can still distribute it for free, and the situation of freezing to death can be alleviated a lot. ”
"Is there anything better than charcoal?"
Cao Cao immediately asked.
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "Of course there is, the lord can let Wen Cheng and them come over, those things are in the factory, there are also stoves, etc., the factory also has them, the lord needs it, and he can let people pick it up at any time." ”
"Come here, pass on the message to them, and see me at the house."
Cao Cao listened, shouted at the entourage behind him, and said: "It's cold outside, please come to my mansion and discuss this matter well." ”
Chen Zhou agreed: "Okay! ”
Together, they followed Cao Cao back.
Xun You admired: "It seems that Du Zhi predicted in advance, there will be severe cold this winter, so early in advance, prepare for the lord." ”
Receiving his reminder, Cao Cao and Guo Jia both nodded.
Chen Zhou is still omniscient and omniscient!
