Chapter 306: Snow Disaster

In fact, I don't blame Li Shimin for self-doubt, and I don't know why, since Zhenguan, there have been disasters in various places every year.

There is no year when the wind and rain are smooth, there is either drought or flood, locusts or heavy snow, and there are two more plagues at every turn.

In recent years, there have been cults or rebellions among the people every year to spread rumors, saying that Li Shimin's ascension to the throne is a promising natural harmony.

The throne is not right, and if the name is not right, it is not good, so the genius will be punished.

"Your Majesty, Shen'er said that the rain and wind are natural phenomena in this day, and it has nothing to do with God. So Your Majesty does not have to blame himself. ”

Wei Guifei came over and helped Li Shimin put on his cloak,

"A natural phenomenon? What is a natural phenomenon? Li Shimin asked incomprehensibly.

"The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine thinks that this should naturally be natural." Wei Guifei guessed that in fact, she had heard Li Shen say it when she was a child, and she didn't understand what it meant.

"There is some truth in what Concubine Ai said, but I think this should naturally be related to the way of nature mentioned in the Tao Te Ching, and the so-called Tao naturally represents everything in this world."

In order to prove that Lao Tzu is his ancestor, Li Shimin can be said to have memorized the Tao Te Ching.

"The concubine doesn't understand, I only heard what Shen'er said when she was young."

"When you were young? Alas, I really can't imagine that Lao Shi has comprehended such a deep Tao when he was young. Li Shimin himself established a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, and the concubine serves Your Majesty to bathe and rest." Wei Guifei saw that Li Shimin was worried, so she changed the topic and said.

"Hmm," Li Shimin looked back at Wei Guifei, who was still charming, and nodded in agreement.

Here's what it takes:

The powder is sweaty, and the spring teases the cotton and rain ointment. If you want to stop Tan Lang, Linghua is cool and purple grapes.

The snow started to light up the next day, but it continued. The snow was already more than two feet and close to three feet. The snow inside the palace was cleared overnight, so there wasn't much,

But travel on the street has become a problem, Wannian County and Chang'an County urgently sent people to clean up, and the military guards in the city also joined them.

Horse-drawn wagons pulled the snow out of the city. Today's morning is relatively late, and many officials are wading in the snow because of travel problems.

"Your Majesty, the snow in Chang'an City is close to three feet, which has not been encountered for decades, and the minister feels that he should make plans early.

It is still unknown what happened outside the city and how widespread the damage was. Fang Xuanling stood up first and said.

"Well, what Fang Qing said is very true, the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately went to Yicang to prepare, and after reporting the disaster situation in various places, it is making plans."

"Your Majesty, there is still the problem of keeping out the cold, although the snow has seen a light now, but the Taishi Bureau said that it will not stop until at least tomorrow.

With such a heavy snowfall, many people's houses must have collapsed, and they will be homeless at that time, and even if there is food, I am afraid that they will freeze to death. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji caused the hall to fall into tranquility, which was a big problem. The imperial court did not have so many heating facilities.

"Your Majesty, the minister can only wait for the news from all over the country to make plans, and first find out how big this disaster is." Fang Xuanling said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Rengui, immediately send people to the Dongshan military camp, transfer all the people out, and rush to Huangzhuang to rescue, this king estimates that there should be no houses to collapse, the main thing is to clear the snow.

Tell the soldiers that raising soldiers for a thousand days is not only to kill the enemy, but also to save the people from fire and water. ”

In the study room of King Ji's Mansion, Li Shen's three giants have all arrived, and of course the Snow Disaster Mansion must be prepared for this time.

"The minister commands."

"Lao Wang, the carriage of the palace must be ready at all times, and if there is a need, the granary of the Ji Wangfu must be ready to be opened at any time to prepare for disaster relief.

There are also brick factories, cement plants, expanding production volumes. The Chamber of Commerce issued a warning that those who increased the price of food, salt, charcoal, cloth and other cold materials during the disaster period were kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce gave sanctions.

The royal government could buy salt, cloth, fur and other substances at a price higher than the market price. ”

"Yes, lord." Wang Hongfu also received the order.

The critical moment shows the importance of forming a chamber of commerce. At this time, if you are not a member, then Li Shen can't care about you,

But if you are a member, you have to listen to the arrangement of the chamber of commerce, and if you don't listen to the rules when you join the association, it is written that the members can be sanctioned.

A prince, plus more than 120 second-generation officials, how big a backstage can you withstand the sanctions of this gang of scoundrels.

There will still be laws in later generations, but in this era, exaggerating that nobles are not illegal to kill, who dares to provoke them.

If it is the news of later generations, it will be said that the special operation to sweep away gangsters and eliminate evil has defeated the number one underworld force in Chang'an headed by Li Shen.

"Xuan Ce, always pay attention to the situation reported by newspapers around the world, and see how widespread this snow disaster is. If it's just Kannai Road, it's okay, but I hope it's not too big.

Xuan Ce, this king estimates that we need to touch the iron. ”

Li Shen had bought all the useless mountains around him before, and this Wang Xuance knew it. This was just a few years ago when I was out of the palace,

Among them, there is a small iron mine, but Li Shen did not mine it on a large scale, but quietly mined some for the research institute to conduct research on ironmaking and steelmaking.

The location of the study is also in the cement mill, which can hide people's eyes.

Li Shen is now short of a blast furnace, as long as a blast furnace is built, Li Shen can produce iron in large quantities.

Li Shen has always felt that salt and iron are not suitable for him to touch at the moment. But this snow disaster may require a lot of iron to build a furnace.

Because Li Shen has a lot of coal in his hands, half of the mountain has been dug up in recent years. Moreover, Li Shen had already asked Wang Hongfu to take down all the nearby Shitan Mountains.

"Lord Wang, the eldest grandson's servant shoots a family that has a business of iron and salt, and the business of iron is not small." Wang Xuance reminded.

"Really? Then you mean to let me find Zhao Guogong to cooperate? ”

"Lord Wang, the salt and iron business has always been the main source of income to support the family of scholars. If the prince gets it himself, there may be a lot of resistance,

It's better that we can cooperate with Zhao Guogong, we pay the technology to hide behind our backs, Zhao Guogong's iron production is large, the price will be reduced, and the family will definitely look for him instead of us at that time. ”

Wang Xuance's meaning is to let the eldest grandson Wuji top the cylinder.

Li Shen thought about it and felt that it made sense, even if Li Shen made this thing by himself, he was not ready to make money, iron was the foundation of development,

Li Shen's research institute now needs iron for many things, especially the demand for iron in industry is the largest.

And now they are already studying steel, in fact, the wisdom of the ancients is no worse than that of later generations, but their minds are imprisoned.

Now Li Shen let them study casually and open their minds, which is like a bird out of the cage, the sky is high and the bird can fly.

Li Shen sometimes felt that if the Braided Dynasty had not closed off the country, it would not have been the case.

(The author of ironmaking and steelmaking does not plan to break down in detail, but I checked the information, and the focus of the blast furnace is on refractory brick technology and coke technology, which can be done.) As for the blast furnace drawings below.

The development of industry needs the support of many things, but this is a novel, and you should have saved your mind when you see it.

To be honest, I watched the video and it was too complicated to understand. So you should be true. OK? )

To apologize for sending you a poem,

Hand in hand into Luo Wei, shy and smile to blow the lamp.

The golden needle pierced the peach blossom stamen, and he didn't dare to frown in a loud voice.
