Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 324 Snow Disaster Rescue Preparations
Dongnuan Pavilion.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the wind was bitterly cold, but the inside of the East Nuan Pavilion was just the opposite, it was as warm as spring.

Stepping on the ground of Dongnuange, one can even feel a slight warmth coming from the soles of the feet.

While the other pavilion elders were amazed at the situation in Dongnuan Pavilion, Xu Guangqi already lay down on the ground regardless of face.

He carefully looked at the entire ground of Dongnuange, and even stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly twice. Hearing the hollow echo from the ground, Xu Guangqi's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

"Uh...Old Xu, what are you doing? This is too disrespectful. If His Majesty sees this, it will be a disgrace. Get up, get up!"

Among the elders, Li Guoqu, who was the best friend of Xu Guangqi, hurriedly pulled Xu Guangqi up from the ground and straightened his clothes.

Xu Guangqi waved his hands indifferently and said, "It's nothing to do with the general public, I'm just curious why this East Nuan Pavilion is completely different from the outside world."

Li Guopu shook his head and said: "What else could be the reason? Maybe it's because the wood used is good and has top windproof ability, so the severe cold outside can't get in."

But Xu Guangqi shook his head and said firmly: "What Guopu said is wrong, absolutely not, no matter how good the wood used in the Dongnuange building is, it will never achieve the current effect.

And according to what I learned from the investigation just now, there is definitely a lot of space underneath the East Nuan Pavilion, and the secret to keeping the East Nuan Pavilion warm as spring in such weather must be here. "

Xu Guangqi has a habit, that is, when he encounters something or something he is interested in, he can't help but want to study it. After realizing that there is a problem under the Dongnuan Pavilion, Xu Guangqi moved to open it to have a look. And this is where the imperial palace is at any rate, so I restrained my impulse.

However, what he said startled Li Guopu, who knew his habits well, and quickly grabbed his hands and persuaded him: "Old Xu, this is a big house, don't be impulsive! Think about your grandson." , you must think twice before acting!"

Xu Guangqi wanted to push his hand away with a wry smile, and said while pulling: "Guopu has worried too much, the old man is not so groggy, don't be nervous, let go! Let go! What does it look like for you and me to be so chattering?" , if people see and misunderstand, even ten more mouths will be opened, and the old man will not be able to explain clearly!"

Seeing that his expression was serious, and he didn't look like he was lying, Li Guopu felt relieved, and quickly let go of his hand, took a few steps away to one side, and then said: "I'm not afraid that you will do something demented. Is it? You still despise the old man, you are simply treating the liver and lungs of a donkey with good intentions!"

Xu Guangqi could only smile wryly.

Just when the two were in embarrassment, the little eunuch stationed at the door suddenly sang in harmony.

"His Majesty is here!"

Everyone hurriedly collected their hearts and lowered their heads to wait.

Soon, as the door was opened with a creak, a group of people poured into the Dongnuan Pavilion. The first one was Zhu Youjian in a vermilion uniform. Several elders of the pavilion hurriedly bowed and saluted when they saw it: "Minister, wait for the cabinet bachelor, See Your Majesty! Greetings to St. Ann!"

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, and Wang Chengen on the side immediately said: "Sheng Gong'an, be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The elders of the pavilion straightened up and looked in the direction of Zhu Youjian, but they didn't dare to look directly, and bowed their heads slightly to show respect.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Youjian passed among Huang Liji and the others and sat down in front of the kang platform that looked out the window. After the maid brought tea and held it in her hand and took a sip, she looked up at the five people and asked: "In this very cold day, the lovers are not at home, so what's the hurry to come to see me?"

When speaking, Zhu Youjian's tone was relaxed, his expression was peaceful, and his whole person appeared to be at ease.

On the contrary, Huang Liji and other five elders, after Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, Huang Liji, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up first, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if there is heavy snow today, and from yesterday until now, There is no sign of stagnation, and the ministers are worried that if this continues, the people in the city will suffer heavy losses and disasters will occur.

I also ask Your Majesty to make preparations early to prevent problems before they happen, and to provide timely relief when disasters occur! "

As soon as Huang Liji's words fell, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu, Shi Fenglai, and even Xu Guangqi all stepped forward and echoed: "Your Majesty's grace is so great, please prepare early!"

Ding~
There was a crisp porcelain collision sound.

Zhu Youjian gently stroked the scum on the surface of the tea with the lid of the teacup, and took another sip leisurely, but he neither agreed to nor opposed their opinions.

This made the elders very anxious. Zhang Ruitu, who was the most impatient, stepped forward and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, please make preparations early!"

Zhu Youjian ignored him, and still drank tea on his own. After a while, he put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the elders and said, "I have already prepared for what Qing and others are worried about. You don't have to worry about it too much." Too worried."

"what?"

The elders of the pavilions showed surprise, and looked at Zhu Youjian's calm face in surprise, with a tongue-tied look of surprise.

"When did you prepare, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Youjian smiled, and said with a relaxed expression: "As early as half a month ago, Qin Tianjian had predicted that this year's snow would not be small, so I made preparations.

If it is usual, with this kind of weather, at this time, you might not be the only five elders entering the palace, and all the officials in the court will come to ask for an audience. If you don't come now, it means that my preparations have had an effect. The snow disaster did not hurt the people so much. "

After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Huang Liji and the others were startled!

Yes!Daxue was like this, and only five of them entered the palace to seek an audience, while the other courtiers remained indifferent, which was obviously abnormal.

In this case, either the court officials turned a blind eye to this moment, or the situation was not serious enough to enter the palace to seek an audience.

Although these officials in the imperial court are not all responsible people, there will be one or two who still care about the common people, so the current situation is obviously that some of them are too worried.

Thinking of this, Huang Liji immediately stood up again and asked: "I don't know what preparations your majesty has made, please tell us, so that the ministers can be prepared."

All the elders nodded in agreement.

Zhu Youjian didn't refuse either, and gently put the teacup on the low table aside, and then explained to the elders: "In this situation, the people have to face two kinds of crises. To prevent the cold, the family backgrounds of the people are different, not everyone can afford thick clothes, and the charcoal used for heating in the people's homes is not cheap, and it will add a huge burden to the families of the people.

Regarding this point, I have already asked the Huangming Chamber of Commerce to sell warm clothing such as woolen sweaters. All the people of my Ming Dynasty can buy two sets of low-priced wool suits from the Huangming Chamber of Commerce with their ID cards. The cost of the two sets of clothes is only [-] yuan The cost price is enough for the common people on the ninth floor to afford it.

The remaining extremely poor households have already been prepared by the Jingzhao Mansion. At this moment, there must have been government servants bringing warm clothes and relief food to resettle them.

In addition, the Huangming Chamber of Commerce launched a new type of coal this year. The price is only one-third of charcoal, but the effect is long-lasting and safe. It has been loved by the people before it snows. Now every household in Beijing must have it. Inventory, on the one hand, the severe cold must not be a problem.

Therefore, the next focus of the court is the losses and casualties caused by the houses that were crushed by the heavy snow.

In this regard, I have also ordered the Yongwei Battalion and the Wucheng Bingma Division to jointly operate, and they are always ready for rescue. Whenever a situation is discovered, the rescue team will arrive at the scene within a quarter of an hour and start rescue.

It can be said that now I have done everything I can to the extreme.

Low-priced charcoal, low-cost warm clothes, ready rescue at any time, sufficient rescue supplies, everything has been prepared, you do not need to worry too much. "
