Even if it was a waste of money, it will be discovered that there is no snow disaster, but doing so can make Lu Chenshengtu feel at ease.

"Has your Majesty seriously considered this matter?"

Hearing this, Li Daifu immediately cupped his hands and said, this matter is a bit too hasty, although the weather looks a bit like a snow disaster, but there is no such thing at present.

The empire was first established, and the background is still small, so you can't make such a fuss at will!

"No need to think about it, let's do it like this. The household department will prepare the disaster relief items as soon as possible. As for the candidates for the disaster relief, Qi Shi will select 5000 people under his banner to survey the snow disaster situation."

Lu Chensheng pondered for a while, and gave a warning.

Due to Lu Chensheng's previous decision, no army has been formed.

They are the Black Xuanshui Army, the Red Suzaku Army, the White Xuanniao Army, the Blue Blue Wing Army, and the Yellow Thick Earth Army.

The Blue Wing Army is taken from the Tang Dynasty Xingjing. The blue dragon has wings, and Fang is the real dragon. It is believed that the green dragon has wings.

Qi Shizhong led the Red Suzaku Army, Chengxue led the Xuanshui Army, and Houtu was led by Bai Yi. Although Bai Yi now lives in the harem and doesn't want to command the army, Lu Chensheng still gave her a large army.

In other words, Bai Yi was a great general before, so there is nothing wrong with leaving a large army for the other party.

Moreover, there is nothing inappropriate for the thick soil army to defend the imperial capital and let Bai Yilai be the commander-in-chief.

The Xuanniao Army and the Blue Wing Army haven't found a candidate for the time being, and there are still vacancies at the moment. The Ministry of Officials and other ministers have visited many times and want to win this position.

Some are for my friends, some are for my own people, all kinds of things.

It's just that Lu Chensheng didn't agree, because he didn't have a good record, Lu Chensheng would not hand over the commander-in-chief of the first army casually.

After the ministers knew what Lu Chensheng meant, they gradually stopped going up, and they all waited for some future war, so that they could use their military exploits to push their own people up.

The new dynasty has just been established, and many people are already thinking about occupying a place.

Qi Shizhong stood up to take the order. This was the first time that Lu Chensheng gave him a task, but he was very excited.

In his view, if he can complete the task assigned by the Holy Majesty, he will be able to completely enter the vision of the Holy Majesty in the future.

His position is not very stable now, mainly because many generals under him are covered by the light of Cheng Xue, and there are not many opportunities to show up.

He had just entered the eyes of the Holy One by relying on the battle of defending the city in Yanran City, but if there are other people with amazing records, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to hold on to his current position.

In addition, now in the main hall, each has its own forces, and he is helpless, so he appears to be weak, and he needs to cherish opportunities.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Qi Shizhong will definitely complete the task assigned by your Majesty."

Qi Shizhong stood up, knelt down on one knee and said.

Lu Chensheng glanced at Qi Shizhong, he was reliable, he didn't report when Cheng Zhou was destroyed, swept up the territories of the vassal kings, and handed over all the money seized.

Judging from these things, the other party is still reliable.

Giving the other party such a high position is indeed what the other party thought, there is no manpower to use, so the other party has picked up such a big deal.

The reason for not giving other lesser-known generals is entirely because the other party is in Yanran City, and they have persisted for so long. Because of this, Lu Chensheng is willing to give the other party such a chance, so that the other party can show himself The general's talent.

"Well, many people in the army have criticized you a lot. I appreciate your previous defense of Yanran City, but you still need to prove yourself. Whether you can suppress those criticisms depends entirely on your performance."

"Yes, thank you Holy Majesty for your attention, the general is willing to die and swear allegiance to the Holy Majesty!"

Qi Shizhong's eyes filled with excitement, he was originally an unknown guard in the frontier fortress.

Now that the Xinghan Empire is unified and has become an extremely large dynasty, the Holy Majesty is willing to use him in such a dynasty, which makes him very excited. He only thinks that the Holy Majesty is so cultivated, he must do his best.

Seeing him like this, Lu Chensheng was satisfied.

This Qi Shizhong is still young, and the days to come should be long.

Lu Chensheng treated him like this because he valued his ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, Lu Chensheng felt that he should leave a talent for his children, especially this kind of dedicated one.

Lu Chensheng is kind to him, so it is certain that the other party will try his best to help his children in the future.

This is why Lu Chensheng let him control the Suzaku army.

But this Qi Shizhong seems to be a reckless man. At this time, he doesn't know the meaning of this, and Lu Chensheng doesn't want to point it out.

As long as the other party can serve the Xinghan Empire, it doesn't make any difference whether the other party knows it or not.

"Well, let's go. It's up to you to gather people and investigate outside. If you come across a village or city that is suffering from snowstorms, send someone to report immediately."

"Yes!"

When Qi Shizhong heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly responded, turned around and left.

When he goes back, he has to carefully select a few people to come out, and he must do this well.

Like the few people who followed him before, he had to send them out.

He Qi and the others are capable of doing things well, and they are still his confidantes, so it is just right to send them out.

Seeing this, the other ministers also knew that the matter had been settled, and there was no possibility of changing it, so they also resigned one by one at this moment, preparing to go back and prepare for disaster relief.

In such a cold and freezing weather, if disaster relief is needed, some clothes, quilts and warming items are indispensable. These things are all in the warehouse, but the specific quantity and the allocated quantity need to be checked carefully when going back. .

Li Daifu has a headache about this matter.

If it is really not enough, he has to find a way to talk to the people in the Ministry of War and transfer some military supplies from the Ministry of War.

However, the people in the Ministry of War didn't seem to be so easy to talk to. Li Daifu suddenly felt a headache when he thought of this.

Seeing the ministers leaving one by one, Lu Chensheng got up and left the imperial study.

The situation has not been reported from all over the country, and I don't know if there is really no snow disaster. If there is no snow disaster, it should be regarded as a drill, Lu Chensheng thought to himself.

Chapter 7 and Two

Liu Family Village.

This is a small village located outside the Great Wall near Jiyun City, and it's not that big.

In the past, the population was not very prosperous because Tartars went south to rob every year outside the Great Wall.

Until then, Xinghan City suddenly rose up. After Xinghan City was established, Xinghan City has never been soft in the face of the Tartar invasion.

Even though they did not belong to Xing Seoul at that time, they were also supported by Xing Seoul and drove away the Tartars.

In the next few years, they were no longer harassed by the Tartars, and they were able to live and work in peace and contentment until the Xinghan Empire was established this year.

On that day, all of them in Liujia Village brought out their new year's goods, and they lived happier than New Year's Eve. There were still a few young people in the village who went to Xinghan city specially to feel the joy of the establishment of Xinghan Dynasty.

Since Xing Seoul took over their place, they have done countless good deeds, publicizing how to help crops grow better and how to harvest.

There is also construction of water power. There was a lack of water outside the Great Wall. A high-ranking official in Xinghan City, they also forgot who he was, but when they saw him at that time, they only knew that he was a very big official.

After coming to them in person and inspecting it, not long after, a pipeline was built to them, and the water flowing out of the pipeline was sweet and cool.

So far, Liujia Village has never been short of water.

Afterwards, the upper echelon of the dynasty issued some orders, saying that it was necessary to plant trees frequently, even some fruit trees and so on.

The people in Liujia Village didn't know why they planted trees, but after thinking about it, the surrounding area of ​​the village was bare. At first glance, the slopes were full of stones and loess, which really didn't look good. They didn't quite understand, so they started planting trees .

They have a very different belief in the current dynasty.

Probably because, before the establishment of the Xinghan Dynasty, they were extremely convinced by the various good deeds that benefited them.

Let’s just say that the water source here is all transferred from the Pingyun Mountain Range for thousands of miles.

But why is the water so good? The water on the Pingyun Mountains is all flowing down after the snow mountains have melted.

This winter is much colder than before, and the heavy snow has not stopped until now.

The village is looking at the heavy snow outside the door, and there is an indelible worry between his brows.

"It's not good, the old Ertou's house was crushed by the heavy snow!"

Although it was already very late at this moment, he still hadn't fallen asleep yet, and at this moment he suddenly heard such a rushing sound, he quickly stood up.

"What happened, the house was crushed by heavy snow?"

"Yeah, the snow fell a bit too much this year, but today is too late, and I planned to get up tomorrow to clean it up, but suddenly I heard a muffled noise, and the neighbors went out to have a look, and the house was directly buried by the snow .”

The villagers who came running spoke directly.

At this time, Muramasa had already set up his cloak and hurriedly walked outside.

"Wake up all the strong men in the village, and save people quickly."

It would definitely be fatal if it was sold in, he didn't dare to delay, so he ran out in a hurry.

After a while, I saw a small snow bag, surrounded by many people, who were digging the snow hard.

Those who don't know about this may just think that the snow here is getting heavier, so they won't even know that there are people inside.

"Quickly dig, how long has it been, don't you want to kill their family soon!"

Cun Zheng looked anxious and went straight to the field to dig up.

Regardless of his age, he has been busy working in the fields, and he still has strength. When digging snow, his speed is not slower than others.

The rest of the village came one after another after that, and finally dug out the people inside after half a cup of tea.

After the family was dug out, they were gasping for breath, their lips turned purple, and they were talking nonsense, which was incomprehensible.

After a long while, when they came back to their senses, they thanked everyone around them again and again.

"The house is gone. How should we live this winter? Our family's belongings are all inside."

Looking at the crushed house, Mrs. Liu felt like crying.

I thought life would be easier, but I never thought that this winter would crush the house.

The rest of the villagers looked at this scene with sighs.

The villager took a look, sighed and said, "Fortunately, as long as you are fine, let's stay overnight tonight, and get up tomorrow and ask the neighbors to help us build a new house."

They are all under the same roof, and most of them are willing to help each other build a house.

The rest of the people didn't have any objection when they heard the words, and were about to discuss it, when they went to someone's house to stay overnight, suddenly there was a series of creaking sounds and the sound of the house collapsing.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and saw several houses falling to the ground one after another at this moment.

Seeing such a scene, the expressions of the villagers changed slightly, "Hurry up and save people!"

The villager reacted, and quickly walked up first, and vigorously began to dig out the snow to dig out the people under the house.

"Call everyone out, don't sleep at home tonight!"

Looking at it like this, every house seems to be in danger, and Zong's side is better, after all, it has just been repaired.

Some people were afraid when they heard this and looked at the collapsed house.

He hurried back to prepare to take out some belongings at home, so as not to be crushed under the house.

The villagers who were blown by the cold wind had flushed faces, their hands and feet were as cold as their own, and they couldn't feel any warmth in their bodies.

After rescuing the people, it was confirmed that there were no other people in the house, and the villager took them all to Zong's.

The door was closed and there were more people, finally there was some warmth, but near the door, there was still a chilly air pouring in.

A few villagers were outside to check the situation, and came back from time to time to report which house had been crushed.

When the villagers heard the news, some of their faces changed when they heard about their own house. Although they knew that their old house might not be able to survive, it was inevitable that they felt a little bad when they heard such news.

After the difficult night passed, the people came out to see that the houses had basically been crushed by the heavy snow.

"What can we do? So many houses have been crushed, and if they need to be repaired, there will be no wood left!"

A villager looked at this situation, and his face was even more ugly.

The surrounding area is bare and there is no wood. If you want to cut wood to build a house, you don't have any wood. Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, even if you go out to pull wood back, you don't have the ability.

Chapter 7 and Three

A snowstorm made the villagers directly realize the importance of having trees around.

Originally, I wanted to build a hut that could be lived in, but because the surroundings were bare, there was no way.

It's not a big deal to be squeezed in the Zong family all the time. Now, everyone is very worried.

Muramasa was even more frightened. He still had some prestige here back then, that's why he took this position. If he couldn't do such a little thing well, he would be removed sooner or later.

As a village official, you can still go to the town to receive a little salary every month. Although it is not much, this has already made many people greedy.

In this year, with such a little more salary income, who wouldn't be jealous?
