Chapter 215 Notification
Entering August, even the common people could feel the excitement of the imperial court, as if something big was about to happen.

Initially, the people were a little panicked, but when they saw that there was enough food in their cellars to last for a year or two, they felt confident.Even if the court is busy, it must be for us people. I don't think everyone's life is getting better and better now.

The head of Yaojia Village rushed back from the county office today out of breath.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I stopped to take a breath, looking at the rows of cement houses in the village, thinking about the dilapidated thatched houses three or five years ago. This court was really good.

In the past few years, the harvest of the fields planted by the villagers has been several times that of the past. And because Yaojia Village happened to be a goose-raising base recognized by the imperial court, they made a lot of money from selling geese every year. The construction of cement houses in the whole village still caused quite a stir. sensation.

Cement and red bricks are not expensive. It is said that the imperial court charged a cost price and sent people to guide and design the houses. Young and strong villagers did the hard work, but it also made everyone grateful to the imperial government. It doesn’t work.

Thinking of the notice he heard from the county government today, the village chief did not dare to worry. He returned home and took out a big gong and drum to play.

After a while, people from every household arrived at the door of the village chief's house.

"Everyone, what I say next is related to everyone's life and death, so please listen clearly."

The village chief's words immediately silenced the villagers.

"On the night of September 22, it started to snow heavily. It is said that it will snow for dozens of days and it will be very cold. Everyone will stay at home and watch the winter. Now every household should have enough food. I am afraid that there will not be enough firewood to burn it. Hurry up the mountain and get some more in a few days."

When the village chief said this, everyone was confused.Summer is only in September, where does the snow come from? And today is September [-]st. Although it is not as hot as in previous years, I still wear single clothes when working under the sun in the afternoon.

"In short, don't ask too much, just listen to the court. Think about the big house you live in, think about the thousand kilograms of grain you collected, you are right to listen to the court."

Everyone agreed with what the village chief said, but let it snow. Anyway, we had no worries about food and clothing. Just as they were about to leave, the village chief said again.

"In the afternoon, each family will send a strong laborer to go with me to the county government office to pick up something. No money is required, and every family has it."

Of course the villagers had no objection to such a good thing, and they waited at the village chief's door after dinner.

September 22 was the day of the first snow, and Xiao Tian remembered it very clearly.

Emperor Qinglong sent the emergency report to various places in August until it went to counties and villages, asking local officials to open it on September [-]st and implement the requirements in the emergency report one by one.

That's why this scene happened. This scene also happened in various regions of Qing Kingdom.

But maybe every household had food and clothing, so it didn't cause any commotion, and you could get free stuff, which was pretty good.

According to Oda, the extremely cold weather will last from late September to March next year. For most of the year, except for a few glass greenhouses and the land next to each family’s fire bed, it is estimated that it will not be possible to plant or harvest, and they will have to rely on food storage. live.

Heavy snow will also close mountains and roads, so some daily necessities must be prepared. I am afraid that some people are thinking of saving money or other reasons, so Ruyi launched a relief package.

The relief package contained ten kilograms of salt, five kilograms of sugar, and a packet of antipyretic medicine. Anyway, the sugar factory had a high production volume, so apart from what was taken out for trading, there was still a lot left.

And this medicine is not simple. It is a prescription given by Xiaotian, saying it is the best antipyretic medicine in the future. It is also simple to make and has common ingredients.

Every villager in Qingguo was in a hurry, rushing to receive relief packages.

At this time, the gates of border cities and frontier fortresses will be closed from September [-]st.

Since the advent of cement, the city gates have been reinforced and raised. It is impossible to come in without opening the door. Even if people outside the pass have to build wooden ladders, there are still no such tall trees. Outside the pass, there are still mostly grasslands.

The militiamen were also sent home on the first day of September, while the regular officers and men were uniformly arranged.

"It's been really fun for me to be a soldier these past few years. The emperor of our Qing Kingdom is an ox. Life at home is good, with a big cement house and a kang. I heard that the food grown by my parents is piled up in mountains."

A soldier leader looked ruthless, but no one refuted his words. He had accommodation, food and clothing. Although the training was still hard, the life of his family was getting better and better.

"Do you think something is going to happen? The atmosphere is not right lately? Is there going to be a war?" a little man asked softly.

"I don't know, but it's impossible to fight. Once the city gate is closed, there's no way we can get in. If we want to fight, we will definitely have to chase him to the grassland." Datou Bingzi is a thick-looking man, but he has a very delicate heart.

"Stop thinking blindly, the general asked everyone to gather together. If you have something to say," the soldier came in to inform.
