Chapter 172 Three Divine Items Break Through the Snow Disaster

"Someone is actually spreading rumors about a snow disaster?!"

In the palace, Emperor Xuanhe quickly learned about the snow disaster rumors. Not only had the rumors spread, but almost half of the people in Daqing knew about them.

Emperor Xuanhe would not believe it if you said that no one had pushed for it.

As for who pushed this?

They were either rebel armies or princes and noble families who wanted to rebel.

However, what Emperor Xuanhe was more curious about was, "How did they know that a snow disaster was coming?"

He knew about the snow disaster from the booklet that his aunt had given him, which recorded natural disasters.

What about the people who spread these rumors?
Could there be some kind of divine being hiding behind them?
Emperor Xuanhe couldn't figure it out, but he already had an idea of ​​what to do.

"Liu De, give the orders..."

Soon after, the people, who were discussing the matter with concern, saw the imperial edict of Emperor Xuanhe.

"His Majesty said that the snow disaster is indeed real. This is what Heaven told Princess Fuqing. Moreover, it has sent down three divine objects to Daqing to help our people overcome this crisis."

"I knew Princess Fuqing would help our people."

The first magical object to appear was naturally the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

Emperor Xuanhe had long ago sent people to learn how to make a heated kang (a traditional heated bed) from Su Xiuxiu's family.

And so, this group of people who had completed their studies began to travel all over Daqing and the country, making heated kang beds for the people.

Apart from the materials that the people need to prepare, no wages are required.

The materials for making heated kang beds were not difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Furthermore, if anyone wants to learn how to make a heated kang (a traditional heated bed), they can learn along with us.

At first, the people were somewhat hesitant, and only a portion of them who trusted Princess Fuqing allowed these people to build heated kang beds in their homes.

When the heated kang was finally made and they experienced its effects firsthand, sitting on the warm kang, they thought how comfortable it would be to sleep on it in winter, without having to worry about getting cold.

As a result, the people rushed to make heated kang beds.

Many people also went along to learn how to build a kang (a heated brick bed).

Once they learn it, it will become their skill, and they might even be able to make money from it.

that's the truth.

After learning about the impending snow disaster and the benefits of heated kang beds, more and more people want to build them.

However, while many people want to build kang (heated brick beds), few know how.

Therefore, those who learned how to build kang (heated brick beds) became highly sought-after individuals, even if it cost money.

However, most families can afford to build a kang (heated brick bed), as long as they can get through the winter with the snow disaster by relying on this warm kang.

Just as the practice of building kang (heated brick beds) was gaining popularity in Daqing, the imperial court introduced another item: honeycomb briquettes.

People could buy honeycomb briquettes from special shops set up by the imperial court to prepare for the winter.

"Honeycomb briquettes, what are these? Are they coal? They must be so expensive."

In the minds of ordinary people, coal is very expensive, and ordinary households simply cannot afford it.

However, since it was His Majesty who put forward this idea, then let them go and take a look.

Upon seeing this, I was immediately taken aback.

Because the price of these honeycomb briquettes was much cheaper than they had imagined; ordinary families could afford them if they were frugal.

Not only that, the person in charge of selling them also demonstrated to the people how good honeycomb briquettes were.

Besides being cheaper, it lasts longer than regular coal and provides more warmth.

It can be said that honeycomb briquettes are even more cost-effective than coal. In the past, they couldn't afford coal and had no other choice.

These honeycomb briquettes, if we grit our teeth, are still usable.

Moreover, with the snowstorm approaching, and the weather freezing cold, the more warm clothing we have, the better, as it will also ensure our safety.

As a result, people lined up to buy honeycomb briquettes.

As it turns out, Emperor Xuanhe brought more than just heated kang beds and honeycomb briquettes to the people.

Soon, something called cotton appeared.

This cotton can be made into cotton clothes, quilts, trousers, and jackets. I heard that the factories built by the female officials under Princess Fuqing are working overtime to produce these cotton bedding and clothing.

Now, these cotton-padded clothes, quilts, and coats are being sold throughout Daqing.

Although the price is a bit high, ordinary people can still afford it if they grit their teeth.

The key point is that these cotton clothes are much warmer than other clothes. Some people tried on the cotton clothes on the spot and felt warm and cozy after putting them on, and the cold wind could no longer blow in.

Having witnessed the benefits of clothing made from cotton, people flocked to buy it.

Those who could afford it bought cotton quilts, cotton-padded clothes, and cotton-padded trousers as well.

For families that are not well-off, they only bought quilts or some padded jackets to wear in the middle, which could also increase their warmth.

The three warming items that Emperor Xuanhe introduced successively successfully alleviated the people's worries about the impending snow disaster.

Sure enough, the people on the Shuntian Uprising Army's side looked at the warm kang, honeycomb briquettes, and cotton quilts in front of them, and their faces turned ashen.

The rumor initially followed their own assumptions.

However, subsequent developments were disrupted by these three things introduced by Emperor Xuanhe.

"Emperor Xuanhe, where on earth did you get these three things from?!" the speaker gritted his teeth.

Clearly, they could use this snow disaster to bring down Emperor Xuanhe.

However, the appearance of these three things completely shattered their expectations.

"I heard it was a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), made of honeycomb briquettes, and was presented by a female official named Su Xiuxiu."

"As for this cotton, Emperor Xuanhe said that Princess Fuqing received a divine gift and informed him of it."

“Su Xiuxiu? A woman?!” Du Feng, the leader of the Shuntian uprising army, frowned. He had previously scoffed at the two policies introduced by Emperor Xuanhe.

Unexpectedly, it was indeed a woman who helped Emperor Xuanhe.

After all, both Su Xiuxiu and Princess Fuqing were women.

"Let's see if we can win over Su Xiuxiu."

"As for Princess Fuqing... she's a potential threat." Moreover, she's known as the Lucky Star of Daqing, and countless people practically regard her as a deity and worship her.

"It seems that Princess Fuqing must be eliminated."

If those who could help Emperor Xuanhe are removed, then the incompetent Emperor Xuanhe will be nothing but a useless person.

It would be easier to pull him down.

"By the way, where is Li Tian'ao?" Du Feng asked.

"Li Tian'ao has probably already returned to his hometown."

"Hmm." The suggestion about the snow disaster rumors was first made by Li Tian'ao, and now that it has failed, Du Feng doesn't blame Li Tian'ao.

He just wanted to know what Li Tian'ao would do if he were here.

After all, Li Tian'ao was not entirely stupid.
