Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 557
Although she is a queen, Su Qingning always sleeps until she wakes up naturally.

In the future, when the two brothers were not studying, it was the same. After studying, they kept getting up at a very regular time, and the little princess did the same.

"It's really hard, but since the class is scheduled at that time, it's not bad to break the rules, and it will be fine when you get used to it."

It's not that I don't feel distressed, but it has been like this in all dynasties, and I can't make a special case when it comes to my own children.

Speaking of which, when she was in school, she also got up at the same time and went to class at the same time, and it never changed.

As a child of the royal family, sometimes, some hardships must be eaten.

She said so, and Hongxiu also knew that this could not be changed. Thinking of the master's order just now, she saluted and walked out of the hall.

The master has always been sympathetic to the palace people. Recently, it has been snowing one after another. As soon as it is cleaned up, it will be done again. It has been tidying up all the time.

"This year's snow is heavier than in previous years." After Hongxiu went out, Mother Chen said.

She remembered that at this time last year, it seemed that there was not much snow falling.

"It's true that there will be more snow this year, but it's just the beginning, and I don't know what will happen after that. The incompleteness will be concentrated at this moment." This kind of situation is not uncommon.

"It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and this snow should be moderate, otherwise, I am afraid there will be a snow disaster." Madam Chen frowned slightly, a little worried. There was indeed too much snow this year.

"Mother, don't worry too much, everything will be fine." Su Qingning felt that it would not be a snow disaster, and it would stop soon.

However, Mother Chen's worries were finally realized. For the next half month, it snowed heavily every day. Outside the capital, some houses had already collapsed, but there were no casualties.

Emperor Chen dispatched manpower to check the situation outside the capital, and at the same time, asked officials from various places to report the local situation.

In the capital, there are also people who have problems, but the problems are not serious and can be resolved soon.

During this period of time, Emperor Chen has been very busy, Su Qingning can't do much to help, all he can do is to hand him a cup of hot tea when he comes back, to help relieve his discomfort.

The heavy snow fell for another five days. Outside the capital, more and more people were affected by the disaster. Emperor Chen ordered people to set up temporary tents outside the capital. After all, all of them entered the capital, which was a bit unrealistic.

Su Qingning wrote a letter to the Shen family, asking her aunt, Mrs. Shen, to take people to build a soup kitchen outside the capital. In this way, the people who temporarily settled outside the capital would have a place to live and food and drink.

All the expenses were paid by Su Qingning from his own private treasury. The emperor knew about these things, and he was very moved by Su Qingning's support for him.

Knowing that the empress used her private treasury to distribute porridge outside the city so that the people would not go hungry, the concubines in the harem would also mobilize one after another, which Su Qingning did not expect.

Not only that, they also wrote letters to their families one after another, so many officials donated silver to help the people affected by the disaster.

With the donations from the harem concubines and ministers in the court, many things will be much easier.

The heavy snow finally stopped, and the sky began to clear up, but it was cold after all, so it didn't melt much.

A large amount of snow had accumulated outside the capital, Su Qingning asked the emperor, and knew that not all places had heavy snowfall.

Some areas have been suffering from drought, looking forward to a few heavy snowfalls, otherwise the crops in the fields will not be easy to grow when spring begins.

"Your Majesty, I think we can send someone to send the snow in the capital to places that lack water." After thinking about it, Su Qingning gave Emperor Chen an idea.

"Transport the snow out?" Emperor Chen had never thought about this point. In the early court, some officials had proposed to deal with the snow.

After all, there is too much snow, it won't melt right now, and I don't know if it will continue to snow. If the snow keeps piling up, not only will it be impossible to help the people rebuild their homes, but it will be more likely to cause disasters in the spring.

"Well, didn't you mean that there is a lack of water in some places? Not only that, there is also less snow. They are like the capital city. It is cold now. Then send people to transport most of the snow out and put it in their place. inside."

There is nothing in the field right now, so we transport the snow and put it in the field. When the spring begins, the snow will melt into water and enter the field. At that time, we will burn the field to warm it up, and then we can plant crops.

In this way, it not only solves the problem of too much snow outside the capital, but also solves the problem of water shortage in some places.

After listening to Su Qingning, Emperor Chen thought about it carefully, and felt that this method is reliable. If it is cold today, the snow will not melt if it is transported out. Some places will be transported, and some will be left outside the capital, in case there is less snow in the future. Snow.

"When I go to court tomorrow, I will discuss it with the courtiers. If it is feasible, I will do as you said." This matter must be told to the courtiers. When the time comes, suitable people will be sent to escort the snow to where it is needed. everywhere.

When Emperor Chen said so, Su Qingning nodded with a smile, if this method is really possible, then it would be great.

On the next day, when Emperor Chen went to court, he told the courtiers what he had discussed with Su Qingning yesterday.

After listening to Emperor Chen, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, discussing the feasibility of the matter.

"Reporting to the emperor, I feel that this idea is very good." A minister stood up and supported the emperor's opinion.

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister agrees..."

Some people stood up, and the rest also came out one after another, supporting the emperor's approach.

Seeing that all the ministers agreed, the emperor announced the list he had thought up before.

There is too much snow right now, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible. After all the snow is dealt with, it is better to send people to rebuild their homes for the people.

It's not long before the Chinese New Year. Emperor Chen hoped that before the Chinese New Year, those affected by the disaster could return to their homes.

The imperial court sent people to do these things, and the efficiency was naturally very fast. The snow was transported out in batches, and soon, the craftsmen rebuilt the houses for the people based on the original foundation.

Originally, these should be done after spring, after all, when the ground melts, many things can be done much easier.

But now the situation is special, and the Chinese New Year is coming, but the common people can only live in temporary places outside the capital, relying on porridge to fill their stomachs every day.

That's why the emperor ordered that no matter how difficult it is, he would try his best to let the people move back before the year.

The emperor is like this, and the people are grateful. They know that the temporary residence is provided by the emperor, and the food is the empress's idea. Suddenly, the empress's reputation among the people is getting higher and higher.

The snow has been transported out and transported to various places, because some places are far away, so it will take some time.

In some nearby areas, the snow has been distributed, and every field is covered with a layer of snow. Even so, the people are very happy, after all, it is much better than nothing at all...
