Chu Yin asked him to drink a cup of hot tea to warm up first, "Lord Zuo speak slowly."

Zuo Qian drank two cups of tea and shivered. After drinking the hot tea, he seemed to be colder.

Rong Jin came over and said, "Lord Zuo, take off your coat, I will dry it for you."

Zuo Qian still hesitated.

Rong Jin said: "You are already completely cold, even if it is not cold in the handsome tent, you will not be able to warm up.

"Take off the cold clothes outside, and it will be easier to recover."

Zuo Qian's valet didn't dare to work for Rong Jin, so he hurried over to help Zuo Qian take off the wolf fur coat, and took it to bake.

Rong Mu came over with another pair of thick cotton shoes, "These are spares for our Lord Hou, you can change them first."

Zuo Qian's feet were numb from the cold, and he didn't feel the slightest bit.

After putting on the warm shoes, I felt like I was alive, and I quickly thanked everyone.

Chu Yin didn't have time to make shoes by himself, and the shoes he wore were sent over by Princess Jingyang.

The leather surface is waterproof, and rabbit fur is added inside to keep warm, and it is very light to wear.

There are more than a dozen pairs of these shoes.

Zuo Qian's feet are smaller than Rong An's, so he only intends to wear them temporarily, and he will change them back when his shoes dry out.

Chu Yin didn't care about these things, and the shoes were not worn by himself, so it didn't matter if they were given to him.

Just quietly waiting for Zuo Qian's next words.

Zuo Qian's body warmed up and his nose started to runny.

Rong Mu brought over another bowl of ginger soup.

Zuo Qian was a little embarrassed, "The lower officials are here to make trouble for the commander in chief."

"If there is no urgent matter, Lord Zuo doesn't have to brave the wind and snow to come here," Chu Yin said, "If you have anything to say, please speak up."

"Yes," Zuo Qian sighed, "We didn't know that our previous estimates were biased until we encountered wind and snow."

He never knew that the wind could do that, until he saw a fist-sized stone rolling in front of him.

I don't even know that the snow can fall so heavily. The snow in the balls is almost as big as the palm of my hand, and it just keeps falling from the sky.

A few inches of thickness can be accumulated under the feet in an instant.

Although Jinjiguan mobilized the army and civilians to clear the snow in time, it could not completely prevent the danger from happening.

Because it is okay to say during the day, the light is insufficient at night, the temperature drops sharply, and it is not suitable for outdoor activities.

The direct damage caused by the snow is not too great, mainly because the problem of heating is a little tricky.

Originally, there were few trees in the frontier, and the people were very economical in burning firewood.

Even if the government can sell coal and oil at a low price, it is limited.

The stock of each household is simply not enough to survive the entire long winter.

Zuo Qian said: "So the officials came to discuss with the Commander-in-Chief, can we increase the supply of charcoal to the eighteen cities in the outskirts?"

The control of Carboniferous Mountain and Petroleum is still in the hands of Rong An.

"Where's the oil?" Chu Yin asked, "Is there no shortage of oil?"

"Of course there is a shortage," Zuo Qian sighed, "but the danger of oil is relatively high.

"If it is not managed properly, it can easily lead to fires.

"Carbon coal is much safer.

"Therefore, each household has a fixed amount of oil, which is used for daily lighting."

The newly built city lacks everything. In fact, not only is there a heating problem, but even food is a big problem.

"With government and military assistance this year, even if the common people don't have enough to eat, they won't be able to survive the severe winter.

"It should be much better in the coming year."

Chu Yin nodded, "Okay, people's livelihood is a major issue, and it must be done properly."

When the two of them reached this point, the footsteps outside were chaotic, and some soldiers shouted: "The imperial decree has arrived!"
