Chapter 326 The Great Snow Disaster

Chapter 322

Li Chengqian and Li Shimin stood outside the Ganlu Hall, looking at the heavy snow outside, both father and son were speechless, thinking about how many places would report disasters during the day tomorrow.

"Let Wei Hao out early tomorrow morning!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, but if Wei Hao is released, what about those ministers?" Li Chengqian nodded and asked.

"Continue to sit, Wei Hao has solved the matter, continue to sit, this matter may need Wei Hao's ideas, and you also need to pay some money this time, disaster relief, fortunately, there is money in the internal funds, you need Otherwise, Royal Father will panic in his heart,
Moreover, the loss of autumn grain is not serious, and the people still have food. It may be that the house has collapsed now, but the grain can still be eaten. The key is the house and the supplies to keep out the cold! " Li Shimin sat there and said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, but if only Wei Hao is released, I think the other ministers will definitely be dissatisfied, and now the disaster relief needs manpower!" Li Chengqian continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Don't let it go, I just want to tell them that the court can operate normally without them, but without Wei Hao, there are many things that the court can't solve. Wei Hao solved the drought, and now the snowstorm, I also need Wei Hao assistance,

Those ministers look down on Wei Hao, thinking that Wei Hao is a fool, not worthy of such a high position, hum! "Li Shimin still said very angrily, the scene in the court today made him very angry.

"Yes, father, my son will let Wei Hao out early tomorrow morning and let him come to the palace!" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded, and then said to Li Chengqian: "You go back too, the princess is about to give birth, so pay attention to safety, the snow on the roof must be removed!"

"I told you when I came here, now that someone is watching Su Mei's house, I dare not let her do anything!" Li Chengqian said, cupping his hands.

"Well, my son has grown up!" Li Shimin said suddenly, making Li Chengqian a little confused,

What he didn't know was that when Li Chengqian came here just now, Li Shimin was very pleased, because he was like this, which proved that he had the people and the world in his heart. Although there were still many imperfections, he already possessed the quality that an emperor should live in. , and now the Crown Princess has also made arrangements, which proves that he is really sensible and mature, and knows to make some arrangements in advance instead of panicking.

"Go back, be careful on the road, the road is slippery, and pay attention to the surrounding houses, be careful!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian

. "Okay, father, you should also rest early and let them stare at the roof. Father, you still have to rest well. There may be many things tomorrow that need to be handled by you, father!" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin, cupping his hands,

Li Shimin nodded, and soon, Li Chengqian took the people away. Li Shimin stood there and saw Li Chengqian and the others disappeared, and then returned to the Ganlu Hall, ready to make tea.

"Your Majesty, it's late!" Wang De said when he reached Li Shimin's side.

"Well, I know, bring me some snacks, I can't sleep now!" Li Shimin nodded and said to Wang De.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you still need to rest early!" Wang De nodded, and went out to get some snacks. On the other side of the cell, Wei Hao also returned to the cell.

"Wei Zheng, I'm sorry, it's snowing outside for a while, and the snow is up to your knees. It's a snow disaster!" Wei Hao said to Wei Zheng after he came in.

"Ah, snow disaster?" Wei Zheng and the others heard it, and they all sat up, looking at Wei Hao.

"Well, the heavy snowstorm will probably cause trouble. Many houses in Chang'an City are made of earthen bricks, and some are even made of rammed earth. Those houses have been in disrepair for a long time, and they are easy to be crushed by heavy snow. It's okay if the house collapses, but if If it crushes someone to death, it will be troublesome, and keeping out the cold is also a big problem!" Wei Hao nodded and said, then walked along the corridor with his hands behind his back.

"Then, hey, cold protection materials, and cold protection materials again!" Wei Zheng wanted to say something, but considering that the real key is the cold protection materials, the problem of food is not a big problem, and it can be transported from other places.

"I don't worry about cold supplies, I don't worry about anything else, I just worry about dead people, it would be a pity if people died, those houses should be scrapped and rebuilt!" Wei Hao said anxiously to Wei Zheng.

"Why don't you worry, the common people don't have supplies to keep out the cold, how can they spend the winter?" Wei Zheng said to Wei Hao.

"Use heaters, send heaters to the people who have been hit by snow, and give them a suitable place to live again, install heaters, let's get through the winter first!" Wei Hao said while sitting there.

"It takes a lot of money to distribute heaters to the common people!" Wei Zheng asked, looking at Wei Hao in surprise.

"What kind of money do you need? The entire iron workshop produces more than 160 million catties of iron a month, and a stove uses about 10 catties of iron, which can make 16. If you resettle two families in one place, you can resettle 32 Thousands of households are registered in the Tang Dynasty, but there are only more than 300 households. I don't believe that the area affected by the disaster this time can exceed one-tenth.

Besides, in Chang'an city, there is no need, mainly outside the city! For 160 million catties of iron, the court only paid the cost price, and the other is the wages for the blacksmith. How much does it cost?It is estimated that 1 guan is worth the money, which can protect more than 30 households from the cold. Is it worthwhile? "Wei Hao stood there and said to Wei Zheng who was sitting there.

"Well, it's worth it, it's worth it, if that's the case, there's no problem with keeping out the cold!" Wei Zheng nodded immediately after hearing Wei Hao's calculation.

"Hey, those houses may need to be rebuilt next year. I am also stupid. All the Zhuangzi in my family should be scrapped and replaced with blue brick houses. The blue brick houses actually don't cost a lot of money. A big house If it is not decorated, it will be about 30 guan, and I have more than 3000 farmers, and I need 10 guan!" Standing there, Wei Hao said regretfully.

When Wei Zheng and the others heard it, they all looked at Wei Hao in shock, 10 yuan, how much money is there?

"Everything will be built next year, so it can't be like this!" Wei Hao said regretfully, with his hands behind his back. Wei Hao could get 10 yuan if he had it. He just said that he didn't consider this at the beginning, but now At home, Wei Furong was sitting in the living room, the living room was also brightly lit, and the servants and maids outside were busy all the time.

"Master, it's getting late, you should rest!" Steward Liu said when he came to Wei Furong.

"The old man has estimated that our Zhuangzi will collapse about 300 times. I hope no one will die. If someone dies, they will commit crimes, commit crimes!" Sitting there, Wei Furong said calculatedly, there are about 300 rooms in Zhuangzi, It's not strong, and if it's not cleaned up in time, it will definitely collapse.

"Master, it's okay. We still have a lot of warehouses in the village, which can be arranged!" Steward Liu also said to Wei Furong immediately,
Wei Furong still sat there sighing, and then said to Steward Liu, "How much white flour and rice are there at home? Get them all tomorrow morning and go to those Zhuangzi!"

"I know, master, you can rest assured!" Butler Liu nodded.

"You son of a bitch, you're in jail at this time, and I can't help you with anything. With this boy here, I know what to do! This son of a bitch!" Wei Furong was still sitting there cursing, thinking of Wei Hao in his heart at the moment, with Wei Hao around , I have confidence in my heart.

And now Wei Hao is also lying in the cell, thinking about the snow disaster, and fell asleep in a daze,
Early the next morning, when Wei Hao was still sleeping, Wang De came over.

"Xia Guogong, Xia Guogong, get up quickly, hurry up!" Wang De came to the edge of Wei Hao's slump and shouted at Wei Hao. Wei Hao opened his eyes, saw that it was Wang De, and immediately sat up.

"Why are you here? The disaster outside is serious?" Wei Hao looked at Wang De and asked, and began to put on his clothes at the same time.

"It's serious, not to mention the outside of the city, but inside the city, many houses have collapsed, even the imperial palace has collapsed!" Wang De also said anxiously.

"My mother's queen, there's Lizhi, father, is there something for the emperor?" Wei Hao asked anxiously, Wei Hao was slow to dress himself, and Wang De helped him to dress.

"It's all right, His Majesty called you over to see if you can do anything, I don't know how many people will die!" Wang De continued to say to Wei Hao.

"There is no way for those who are crushed to death, but they are fine now, and they cannot continue to die. Those people must be hidden in a safe place. You say they are still going down?" Wei Hao continued to ask Wang De.

"It's still heavy snow. There must be heavy snow in a severe drought, but I didn't expect that this heavy snow will come so heavily. So far, there is no intention of stopping." Wang De nodded and said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao sat down and began to put on his boots. After putting them on, he went out with Wang De immediately. As soon as he got out of the cell gate, he found that the snow was so thick that it almost reached his thighs.

"Why is there so much snow, it's terrible, and the road is blocked!" Wei Hao looked at the white expanse, anxious,

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he found that the streets were covered with thick white snow, and there were guards outside, who also came to pick Wei Hao up.

"Duke Xia, you can't ride a horse or a car, you can only walk. We should hurry up!" Wang De said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, let's go, I'll support you, I'm young and I'm fine!" Wei Hao said and supported Wang De. "It's impossible!" Wang De hurriedly wanted to get rid of Wei Hao.

"Is there anything you can't do, let's go!" Wei Hao supported Wang De and walked forward. Originally, it would take at most a quarter of an hour to get from here to the Chengtian Gate of the palace, but now, Wei Hao and the others have left. Two quarters of an hour has not arrived yet, but the gate of the palace can still be seen.

On the road, I also saw many people clearing the snow. They were all sweeping the snow at the door. Otherwise, there was no way to open the door. After reaching the Chengtian Gate of the imperial palace, a road had been cleared inside and out.

"Are the other ministers here?" Wei Hao asked Wang De.

"When I came, I saw King Jiangxia, King Hejian, Duke Dai, Duke Qi, Duke Lai, and Duke Su going there. I guess they were discussing the snow disaster with His Majesty, but Your Majesty said that you must have a solution. "Wang De said to Wei Hao.

"There is nothing we can do about the dead people, but there must be something about those who are alive!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"That's good. Your Majesty basically didn't sleep much last night. He just thought about the snow disaster. He got up very early and asked the little one to come to Chengtian Gate. When the palace gate opened, the little one came out." Wang De said to Wei Hao.

"Well, you've worked hard!" Wei Hao nodded,
Soon, Wei Hao arrived at Ganlu Hall, and the little eunuch inside saw Wei Hao coming from a distance, so he went to report. When Wei Hao and the others arrived at the door, the little eunuch also came out.

"Duke Xia, Your Majesty let you in!" the little eunuch said to Wei Hao.

"Okay!" Wei Hao nodded, and when he got inside, he found that there were many ministers inside.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin and saluted.

"Well, excuse me, I don't need to say more about the situation outside, right?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"No need, father, immediately order the Ministry of Industry to start making stoves as quickly as possible. In addition, call all blacksmiths in the city and let them make iron stoves, and then let officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs take them to various places.
For those whose houses have collapsed, centralized arrangement, several families live together, install stoves, let the common people burn stoves to keep warm,
In addition, Erchen still has cotton at home, and now I have been making quilts. I originally wanted to sell them, but now I donate them all, about 4000 beds, and one bed can cover 4 people when I sleep at night. If it's crowded, it's okay, Erchen estimates, it can satisfy the cold of one or two thousand households! " Wei Hao stood there, not talking nonsense, and immediately reported to Li Shimin.

"Okay, the Ministry of Industry, arrange it immediately. I understand. Did you hear that just now?" Li Shimin felt relieved when he heard Wei Hao say this, and the method was very good. asked.

"Understood, arrange it immediately!" The two of them stood up and cupped their hands.

"Now we need to send people out to find out how many places have been affected by the disaster. In addition, around Chang'an, we can arrange many people to go to ceramic workshops and paper workshops. There are still a lot of vacant warehouses over there. There is not much to say about one warehouse. , there is no problem to accommodate two to 300 people. In addition, there are also brick workshops,

Father, you can ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to investigate the warehouses in various places. As long as they are empty, or there are not many things in them, they can be cleaned up and used for the people affected by the disaster. Let’s spend the winter first! "Wei Hao continued to speak.

Li Shimin looked at Dai Zhou, and Dai Zhou immediately bowed to Wei Hao.

"Others, I have no better way, and there are many collapsed houses. You must make sure that there are no people inside. If there are people, see if you can pull them away to rescue the people. It's okay if the house collapses. As long as people are fine!" Wei Hao continued standing there.

"Well, is there anything else to add?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"No more!" Wei Hao shook his head and said.

"Okay, let's do it!" Li Shimin immediately said to the two of them.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, this, if you make a stove, you need a lot! This will cost a lot!" Sun Wuji, Duke of Qi, immediately asked Li Shimin.

"It's not much money, at most 16 yuan. I say it's the capital. The iron produced by the iron workshop in one month is enough to make 16 stoves. 32 stoves can settle at least [-] households. I believe that such a large area of ​​my Tang Dynasty was affected by the disaster,
Besides, if you count the cost, one month is the wages. The wages of the iron workshop are about 6000 yuan a month, and the blacksmith, I guess, is about the same, that is, the problem that [-] yuan can solve, why not? "Wei Hao stood there, looked at Changsun Wuji and said.

"This!" Changsun Wuji was speechless when he heard what Wei Hao said.

"Okay, let alone 10 guan, it's [-] guan. It's worthwhile to solve the problem of keeping out the cold. Go for it!" Li Shimin said to Dai Zhou and Duan Lun at the moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two clasped their hands together again, and then withdrew.

"The rest is to explain the problem of rebuilding those houses next year. This problem, I have not thought that the cost is too high. To build a house, the cost is at least 30 yuan. 30 yuan, for many people, It's a huge sum of money,
And it is impossible for us families to spend so much money to build houses. For example, my family has more than 3000 households who help my family cultivate land. If we want to build houses for them, we need about 10 yuan. Building a house, but other mansions may not have so much money! "Wei Hao stood there and said.

"Sit down and talk first, sit down and talk!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded.

"How can I get it out? There are 500 households in my family. If all of them are built with green brick houses, it is impossible. My own family does not have 1000 yuan in cash right now!" Li Jing said while sitting there shaking his head.

"So, rebuilding is a big problem. We can only rely on the people to save themselves, but it is very difficult for the people to save themselves. Without money, how can they save themselves? They can't even afford firewood!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said with a sigh.

"Yes, how to solve this problem?" Li Shimin also nodded and said.

"What I mean is, let the common people still use earth bricks to build houses, and the court doesn't pay them for timber and tiles. It takes a lot of money here. Even if a family doesn't pay 5 yuan, it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands. Spend money!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said with a sigh.

"This is not acceptable, there is not so much money!" Fang Xuanling immediately said with a sigh.

"Then what should we do? This disaster must be very serious. I don't know how many houses will be collapsed!" Li Shimin said worriedly. Now the court still doesn't have so much money to subsidize the people.

"Father, in fact, the people around Chang'an are fine, but other places may be more troublesome!" Wei Hao said while sitting there.
