The blizzard fell suddenly during the night, when people were asleep and defenseless, and the roofs collapsed without warning, and some of the unlucky people were crushed underneath.

More than 200 houses collapsed, plus some people who froze to death and frostbite, the casualty figure is somewhat shocking.

If this casualty were to spread to the entire city and the villages and towns outside the city, then the number of Li Qiao would not dare to think.

Li Qiao was busy until noon the next day, and then the work assigned by Sheng Hong was completed, he did not close his eyes all night, but the area in charge of the Seven Princes next to him was large, and all the injured had not been sent to the hospital, so he led the soldiers of the Forbidden Army to help the Seven Princes.

This busyness came late at night.

returned to the palace to return to Sheng Hong, Sheng Hong gave him two days of vacation and let him have a good rest.

However, thinking of the human tragedy he had seen in the past two days and one night, he couldn't help but say, "Holy Lord, Weichen also wants to do something for the people affected by the disaster. ”

When Sheng Hong heard this, he looked at the bloodshot in his eyes, shook his head and said, "All the expenses of this snow disaster will be borne by Yan'er. ”

"Wechen knows, but Wechen saw a father and son, this father is a widow, this child is only five years old, and the father and son make a living by sewing clothes for people."

"This time in the snow disaster, this dad was smashed and broke an arm, and he can't sew it up from then on. A disabled person who can't work, a five-year-old child, what will the father and son do in the future? ”

"Moreover, their father and son are not exceptional, and there are many people like their father and son who have lost their livelihoods because of this snowstorm."

Recalling the poor people he had seen in the past two days and one night, Li Qiao's brows furrowed terribly.

"What do you want?" Sheng Hong looked at him quietly, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Wechen is waiting for your order, if you let Wechen intervene, then Wechen can provide these people with a part-time job that can support their livelihood."

"Your plan is very good, but Yan'er is responsible for this disaster."

Sheng Hong refused again.

He wanted to see how far this third son could go in the face of a natural disaster of this level.

“…… Be. ”

Li Qiao closed her mouth.

Out of the palace, go home.

The lantern in front of the mansion was lit, the gate was open, and Tao Zhu, wearing a thick cloak, was waiting for him.

"Why don't you wait in the house?" He held Tao Zhu's hand, which was already a little cold, and rubbed it in his palm.

"After being in the house for a long time, I came out to breathe. I didn't stand at the door for long. Hungry, let's go eat, and when you're done eating, you go to bed. ”

Tao Zhu's face was full of distress.

He really didn't stand at the door for too long, and when he received a letter from Li Qiaobao, he arranged for the kitchen to cook first, and then came to the door.

Li Qiao didn't rest for two days and one night, and she must have been tired.

"It's fine." Li Qiao smiled, part of his tiredness was pretended, and more was tired.

He led Tao Zhu towards the kitchen: "Let's eat first, I'm really hungry." ”

"I've had people cook a lot of dishes, all of which you love."

"Brother Zhu is so good, what have you done at home in the past two days?"

"Live your life as before, the three little ones miss you so much that they even talk about you when they play sled."

The last time it snowed, the three little ones showed off their sleds, and the neighbors nearby picked up Li Qiao's Amway and ran to the royal toy store to book the sled.

The neighbors also enthusiastically offered their friends and relatives Amway, who were seen by other customers when they went to the Royal Toy Store to book their sleighs, and the Royal Toy Store also advertised, so even when it wasn't snowing, the sleds sold well.

People got sleds, but it never snowed.

Now it's finally snowing, and after looking forward to it for so long, the three little ones are going crazy, and they can't sleep and lie in the sleigh.

Li Qiao knows this.

When the poor people in the south of the city were forced to survive by the snowstorm, those rich and noble people who bought sleds took advantage of the heavy snow to play sleds inside and outside the city.

Although the snow has stopped for the past two days, the sun has not come out, and the snow has melted slowly, and the original snow outside the city and the snow transported out of the city are superimposed to form a ski resort with high and low levels.

It's not just the three little ones who are going crazy, but so are the people with sleds, and orders for sleds at the Royal Toy Store are rocketing.

The world is so divided.

Li Qiao sighed softly and entered the kitchen with Tao Zhu.

Let Li He and Li Le, who were in charge, go out first, and the husband and wife sat down at the dinner table.

A table full of dishes is Li Qiao's favorite food, Li Qiao handed the chopsticks to Tao Zhu: "You accompany me to eat some." ”

"Do you drink? Drink a bowl of rice bar. ”

“…… Good. Tao Zhu watched Li Qiao take out a jar of rice wine from the cupboard, and when Li Qiao poured him wine and sat down, he said softly: "Is the situation very bad?" ”

actually let Li Qiao take the initiative to drink in the middle of the night, what a bad situation has become.

"It's okay."

Li Qiao picked up the wine bowl, lowered his eyes and took a sip, and then looked at Tao Zhu, who was looking at him with a concerned face: "It's me who has some feelings in my heart." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

The concern on Tao Zhu's face intensified, and he reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Li Qiao sighed lightly, put down the wine bowl in his hand, he held Tao Zhu's hand, and said with a wry smile: "I chatted with the Seven Princes this evening, and he said that the Holy Lord is testing the Three Princes, and this disaster relief is actually the Third Prince's overall decision. ”

When transporting the wounded today, he had a few words with the Seventh Prince, and now all the medical halls in the city are full, and the Seven Princes even let their own government doctors go to the medical centers in the city to support.

Not only are there not enough doctors, but there are also not enough medicines.

He asked the Seventh Prince if he could donate some medicine to the hospital.

The Seventh Prince shook his head and refused, saying that this disaster relief was Sheng Hong's test for the Third Prince, and asked him not to interfere.

However, the individual victims were really miserable, and when he returned to the palace to restore his life, he couldn't control his mouth, he could not donate anything, and all the materials were borne by the three princes.

But what about the future of the victims?

Can the Three Princes make it this far?

He didn't think so.

So he made his suggestion to Sheng Hong.

But Sheng Hong rejected him.

In fact, Sheng Hong is right, select a qualified heir from several princes, which is responsible for the entire Dasheng, but for people like the three princes, do they still need to be tested?

It doesn't need to be good at all.

But Sheng Hong put on a layer of his father's filter, and he had to be tested, so in the end, it could only be the people who were affected.

The Seventh Prince also understands this, and knows that Sheng Hong will not easily give up every biological son, so he forced the Third Prince to bear all the expenses of this disaster relief, and the Seven Princes not only want to see the performance of the Three Princes this time, but also want to see the performance of the Three Princes in the future.

The Seventh Prince was sure that the Third Prince would find a way to accumulate money after paying a lot of money and would make mistakes.

The Seven Princes had a good idea, and if they wanted to kick the Three Princes out, the Three Princes would make their own mistakes, just like the Five Princes.

It's just that no matter whether it is Sheng Hong's test or the simple strategy of the Seven Princes, it is the innocent people who suffer here.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could have summed it up in four words: the people who were affected by the disaster, but in the past two days and one night, he had witnessed the tragic situation of the victims, the frostbite that people couldn't bear to look at, the helpless tears, the heart-rending crying, all of which made him feel uneasy.

Grief the hardships of people's livelihood.

"I understand."

Tao Zhu heard this, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, he really climbed up from the quagmire, he knew the suffering at the bottom.

He didn't want the three princes to hand over a satisfactory answer to Sheng Hong, and he didn't want the three princes to pass the test.

But if the three princes can't pass the test, it means that the victims have not been properly resettled.

……

"Let's eat, anyway, it's just a matter of the next few days, see what the third prince does." He could only say this to Li Qiao.

"Hmm." Li Qiao smiled bitterly.

No, that's just a few days.

In fact, you should be happier, compared with the flood, the harm of the snow disaster is much smaller, Sheng Hong used the snow disaster to test the three princes, in fact, he has saved a lot of people.

Li Qiao rested at home for two days, during which the sky was overcast and the snow melted very slowly, so the three little ones still had to play sledding every day.

Before Li Qiao was not at home, Tao Zhu only let them play in the alley in front of the door, but now that Li Qiao is home, Li Xiaorui wants to go out to play.

The alley was too narrow, and he wanted to go to Main Street.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, Li Qiao will not affect his life because of the disaster, he smiled and took the three little guys out of the city.

The open space at the gate of the city, as well as several official roads and trails, have become natural ski resorts. Now the snow has partially melted, but there is still some snow left, and I can continue to play sledding.

During this period, Li Qiao saw the three princes leading the soldiers of the forbidden army out of the city, and also saw some supplies being transported out of the city.

When Li Qiao returned to work and saw Sheng Hong in the morning, Sheng Hong's face was dark and he was in a very bad mood.

It turned out that in the past two days, Shenghong has successively received excerpts from other places, and this heavy snow not only hit the Shengjing area, but also affected the surrounding three provinces.

The current number of casualties in Shengjing is already a headache, and if it is expanded to three provinces, then this number can be called terrible.

Moreover, such a large snow will freeze the crops, and when the snow melts, the people will definitely have to replant.

A snow disaster of this level must not be borne by one person for all the expenses, and the imperial court must give warmth to the people.

However, although the autumn tax has just been collected, the annual income of the treasury is only a little, so even if the imperial court sends warmth to the victims, it will not send much warmth.

It is impossible for the imperial court to provide disaster relief like Shengjing.

In order to get the crown prince, the third prince has really hemorrhaged in recent days, and he sent people to rebuild all the houses at home that were crushed by snow.

The injured can be treated free of charge at the clinic.

In addition, some clothes and bedding were distributed to protect against the cold.

He also let people give porridge inside and outside the city.

Some grain seeds are also prepared, and if someone's crops are frozen, they can receive them for free.

The imperial court was unable to promote these measures in the three provinces that suffered from the snowstorm, such as clothes and bedding to protect against the cold, and the three princes collected old clothes and bedding from the rich and noble people in the city, so that the affected people inside and outside the city could get enough materials to protect against the cold.

There is no one in the province to raise donations, where does the imperial court get so many clothes and bedding to keep out the cold?
