Shen Jia glanced at the two people who were still stuck in the snow, and continued: "Floods, droughts, snowstorms, earthquakes, these are natural disasters, and we humans are very small in front of nature.

When a natural disaster strikes, the first thing we need to think about is how to minimize the losses, rather than making up random stories about who caused the natural disaster.

I have reason to suspect that you two are spies sent by the enemy country with the intention of disturbing the peace of the great Zhou Dynasty. "

Shen Jia wants to nail these two people to the pillar of shame as spies. If anyone wants to slander Xiao Yichen in the future, they must think carefully about it.

And this is the best publicity opportunity, how could she miss it?
Shen Jia's words were so powerful that those present were moved to tears. Their country has such a prince who serves the country and the people, so why worry about not having a good life?

So, everyone in the inn lobby, except Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, knelt down in the direction of the capital and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the grandson of the emperor is a thousand years old!"

Shen Jia was confused for a moment. She just didn't want to miss the opportunity to promote Xiao Yichen's achievements. Why are these people like this?
Xiao Yichen rubbed her hair, walked slowly to them, and said loudly: "It's freezing cold, everyone, get up! As the crown prince of a country, it is my duty to benefit the people."

The shopkeeper and others quickly realized this time that the delicate and beautiful young man in front of them was the emperor's grandson, the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty, and the future emperor.

Oh my God! This is the emperor's grandson, and he is actually beside them.

They actually lived in the same inn as the emperor's grandson, and even ate with him in the lobby. Moreover, he didn't stand high and look at others with his nose like other noble sons from aristocratic families. They were so excited and happy.

Most of the people staying in the inn were merchants and doctors who traveled from north to south, and there were also a few traveling scholars. Everyone was so moved by the down-to-earth emperor grandson that they spread the word everywhere after returning home. How approachable the grandson is, they have dinner in the same room with the grandson.

He and Shen Jia's contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty were also publicized. In the end, Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia's reputation among the people increased several levels.

The two people who were still struggling on the snow were angry and resentful. They never thought that they were looking for opportunities to smear Xiao Yichen's reputation outside under the orders of their master, but they were overheard by the real master and were treated so badly.

The two of them rolled their eyes and were about to beg for mercy and splash some dirty water on them when an ice bead hit their dumb holes. They opened their mouths wide and could not say anything.

The secret guard hiding in the dark curled up his lips. If it weren't for their master's reputation, they would have killed these two people long ago. What trash bugs dared to slander their master's reputation.

Shen Jia saw the secret guard taking action and ignored it.

Strangely enough, the snow stopped at this time, and the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, covering the entire white world with a bright, colorful light.

After the two people returned to the inn with difficulty, they didn't even dare to go out, for fear of being trapped in a sack. Two days later, when they saw that the snow outside had melted, they secretly left the inn. The secret guards followed them and killed them in a secret place.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen handed those two people over to the secret guards and ignored them.

Because they knew that it had been snowing for so long and there would definitely be a snowstorm.

Shen Jia immediately wrote to Shen Zhuoyun and asked him to send someone to deliver food and medicinal materials.

Xiao Yichen also sent a message to Jiang Zelin, asking him to prepare food and medicinal materials.

Then the two came to the county government office to see the magistrate of Qu County.

Xiao Yichen asked him to immediately send government officials to each village to check the damage situation and rescue the trapped people in the houses crushed by the heavy snow as soon as possible. Merchants are not allowed to drive up the prices of food and medicinal materials. Once discovered, they must be severely punished.

Shen Jia took a thousand taels and gave it to the county magistrate, and used the money to ask nearby villagers to help rescue the trapped people and build a temporary settlement in the suburbs.

More people and greater strength can provide more effective disaster relief, allowing the affected people to have roofs over their heads and preventing so many people from freezing to death and starving to death. Shen Jia took another two thousand taels out to buy rice, flour, and medicinal materials. He came back and made porridge and soup at the temporary settlement site at regular intervals every day.

The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, making people most susceptible to wind-cold. The prescription prepared by Shen Jia can treat illnesses if they are sick, but can protect yourself if there are no illnesses. It is important to prevent disaster victims from getting sick and get through this crisis safely.

The magistrate of Qu County was quite capable of action, and all personnel were properly accommodated in just one day.

Xiao Yichen immediately wrote several letters and asked the secret guards to hurry up and send them to the cities affected by the snowstorm, asking them to follow the methods in the letters to provide disaster relief.

But it was not an option to let the victims stay at the temporary resettlement site all day long and wait for porridge to be given. Xiao Yichen thought of Lingnan's work-for-relief method, discussed it with Shen Jia, and felt that it was also feasible here.

High-yielding grains such as sweet potatoes, corns and peanuts all need dry land. Just open up more wasteland, and next year's high-yielding grains will be given priority to areas affected by the snowstorm.

High-yield grains will definitely bloom everywhere in Dazhou within a few years, and it will only be a matter of time before they are planted.

After the county magistrate of Qu County heard Xiao Yichen's suggestion, he immediately implemented it.

He is not stupid. The yamen gives money to the people to open up wasteland, and then the yamen sells the wasteland to the people. This is the fastest way to provide disaster relief. They don't even need to send people from the court to provide disaster relief. They can solve the problem by themselves.

And they only need to submit the account records clearly to the accounts department.

This can reduce the number of victims who starve and freeze to death, which is a good thing that benefits all three parties: the court, the government, and the people.

Xiao Yichen saw that he did everything quickly and well, and developed a lot of affection for him. After giving him a few words of advice, Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia left Qu County.

They want to see the damage in other cities.

The disaster situation in other places was almost the same as that in Qu County. Many people's houses were crushed by the snow, and they could only hide in temporary settlements and wait for the court to give them porridge.

Xiao Yichen told other officials about the work-for-relief method and asked them to implement it.

Shen Jia still used money to buy grain and medicinal materials, and asked people to cook porridge and soup for the victims.

Until the arrival of the food delivery team arranged by Shen Zhuoyun and Jiang Zelin.

The two of them went all the way north and visited almost every disaster-stricken city. Fortunately, officials from no matter which faction obeyed Xiao Yichen's words and did not hinder him behind his back.

Therefore, this snow disaster was successfully rescued as quickly as possible.

It was the snow disaster with the fewest casualties in history.

After Emperor Jingwen received the news, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He praised Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen so much in the morning that the other princes were so angry that they broke their silver teeth.

They all couldn't understand why so many killers were sent to kill them, but they were still alive and well, but they themselves lost a lot of people.

The two people they held a grudge against had been busy for so long and were extremely tired. But it was already the end of December, and the Chinese New Year was coming in a few days. The two of them did not dare to waste time and hurried back to Beijing to reunite with their relatives. (End of chapter)
