My Great Qin Cannot Die

Chapter 187: 30 years of the first emperor.

October, the beginning of the year.

It's sunny.

The snowfall for several days has caused the temperature to drop recently. Even through the charcoal fire, you can still feel the cold air.

Continuous snowfall will inevitably lead to snow disasters. In this era, emergency response is too slow. Once a snow disaster occurs, a large number of cattle and sheep will inevitably freeze to death and frostbite.

In particular, carbon is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at home. In this era, coal has not yet appeared, and there is no cotton quilt. It is common for people to freeze to death.

Ying Zheng had nothing to do with these things, and some things were unavoidable after all.

Moreover, the knowledge he got from Li Kang's memory was too complex. There were some things that he didn't notice at all, but today, he thought of something.

Today, there is no cotton in the Central Plains, and the technology for mining coal is immature. The only way is wool cloth, but the Qin Empire did not have so much wool, nor did it have mature textile technology.

Although there are ideas, there is no way to form them.

According to the practice of previous years, after continuous heavy snowfall, there will inevitably be areas severely affected, and the report from the local government office is probably already on the way.

Snow disaster.

Since the first emperor came to the throne, it has always existed, but the importance of each year is different.

It was precisely because it happened on time every year that Ying Zheng was accustomed to it, so he didn't think about it in advance, and things got delayed a little.

This year, countless more people will die.

……

Standing in front of the window sill in the study, Ying Zheng's eyes were shining brightly. He also started to practice martial arts in the past few days, and his body became healthier and stronger.

It seems that the body has regained its youth, and it is no longer as lifeless as before. For a moment, he had the urge to fight Wang Ben.

Just another moment, this impulse was suppressed, and he knew in his heart that as an emperor, he should still leave enough cards.

"My minister, Wang Wan, pays respects to Your Majesty. It's the turn of the year, and I wish Your Majesty's wishes will come true..." Wang Wan walked into the study and saw Ying Zheng standing by the window, he quickly bowed in awe and said.

"Hahaha……"

With a chuckle, Ying Zheng also turned towards Wang Wan and said, "Similarly, I also wish Wang Xiang's wishes to come true, and to be in good health for thirty years in the first emperor."

"I thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the joy in Wang Wan's heart only lasted for a moment, and his face was completely replaced by solemnity. He knew in his heart that nothing was as important as the snow disaster.

"Your Majesty, news has just come from the officials from all over the country that there are serious snow disasters in Yangzhou County, Dingyang County, Fushi Sanzhan County in Shangjun, Jingyang in Beidi County, Wuzhi and other places..."

"Nowadays, the counties and counties are very far away, and the roads are blocked by heavy snow. I'm afraid that the severe snow disaster will not be in these counties..."

"On the internal history alone, seven counties have been hit by snow, ten people were frostbitten, fifteen people died of frostbite, and fifty houses collapsed..."

At this time, Wang Wan's heart was also heavy, no matter what time it was, the dead were unlucky after all, and this year was destined to be a turbulent year for the Great Qin Empire.

"At the beginning of thirty years, chaos will start!"

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng gave a firm order, saying, "Order the local government office to immediately assist the collapsed households and rebuild them immediately."

"During the rebuilding process, the government provides accommodation, and they must not be allowed to sleep on the streets. If there is a heavy snowfall, they will surely die."

"No."

Nodding in agreement, Wang Wan originally wanted to object, but he couldn't say the words again. Human life is at stake, and any means must be taken.

For a long time, the Daqin government only provided assistance and helped the people of the disaster-stricken country to tide over the difficulties. The main force was the people of the country, not the Daqin government office.

However, at this moment, Ying Zheng's decree was issued, and he had to agree.

"Although the beginning of the year is coming, it is still possible for snow to fall before the start of farming..."

Now the cold winter will only get worse. If you want spring flowers to bloom, you have to wait until after the start of farming in February, and there are still more than two months before that.

Thoughts flickered in his heart, Ying Zheng knew in his heart that solving the heating problem was imminent.

"Wang Xiang, do you know what the people of the Great Qin country do to keep warm in this cold winter?" After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng looked directly at Wang Wan and said.

Wang Wan, as the Prime Minister of Great Qin, manages the national economy and people's livelihood. This issue is within the scope of the state government. It was just this small question of Ying Zheng that made Wang Wan silent.

For a moment, he was unable to speak.

Wang Wan never went to understand it, because he came from an extraordinary background, and he rose step by step in the Daqin Empire. He had never understood or felt this.

"Your Majesty, I don't know!"

……

Hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Wan in surprise. He didn't expect the dignified Prime Minister of the Empire to give him such an answer.

"Go and learn about it, and then immediately hold a court meeting to discuss how to deal with this snow disaster..."

Ying Zheng knew a little bit, but he didn't know much. After all, he was the first emperor who was aloof and had never lived such a life.

In the era when Li Kang lived, such a situation did not exist at all. He could only let Wang Wan understand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Nuo. "

Nodding in agreement, Wang Wan left the study with guilt. Today's conversation completely shocked Wang Wan. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he knew too little about the Great Qin Empire.

Taking a long breath, Ying Zheng retracted his gaze. The snow disaster was severe, and there were still two months to go. He had to figure out a solution.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng began to recall, and he hoped to find the answer from Li Kang's memory.

"Cotton, wool cloth is not feasible, it has been rejected, and now, we can only find another way!"

Ying Zheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Stove, brazier, kang..."

In this era, the most popular is the brazier, perhaps not the brazier, but the one built with soil embryos, and burning wood to keep warm.

However, such a heating method is too restrictive. Most of the households use firewood instead of carbon fire. Firewood is easy to burn and should not produce heat.

In a cold winter, it is necessary to prepare firewood as high as a hill, and it may not be enough. The price of carbon fire is high, and only some nobles, nobles, and civil and military officials of the imperial court will use it.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Ying Zheng knew in his heart that building a furnace was only suitable for him at present, not for the people. After all, in the era of the Qin Empire, iron smelting technology was immature, and it was impossible for a large-scale furnace to appear.

Even if it appeared, the people of the country would not have the money to burn charcoal. In their opinion, the money and food in their hands were used to survive.

All kinds of thoughts came to mind one by one, and Ying Zheng took a fancy to the heated kang, because this technical problem is not big, and ordinary craftsmen can complete it.

And it can be heated, and it does not need expensive charcoal fire, only wheat straw, grass, etc.
