Rebirth of the Daughter of Allure

Chapter 354 Solve the problems of the common people first
Yan Lingyu believes that the most urgent thing right now is to solve the problems of the common people first.However, the snow was getting deeper and deeper, and it was difficult to travel. Although, many people in the various prefectures and courts had been organized to clear the snow.However, as the saying goes, the sweeping is not as fast as the sweeping, and there are always more falling than lifting.Only the main road in the city can barely pass through this sweeping, but, just now, the sky has been clear for a while, and it has become gloomy again. It seems that there is another snow and ice in the evening.

Yan Lingyu sighed: "This time, I don't know how many people will starve to death again..."

Yes, the traffic is blocked, and everything is not smooth.To put it bluntly, the road is not easy to walk, and everything has to be discounted.

Duan Qingming thought for a while and said, "According to His Highness the Third Prince, the key to this matter is the road or the person?"

Yan Lingyu stared and said, "What did you call me?"

Just now, when Duan Qingming called Brother Daning and Brother Xiao Ning in the street market, Yan Lingyu was already in a bad mood, but now, there are only three people in the room, and she still says "His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Judging by her appearance, she seems to be addicted?

Duan Qingming's heart froze, and he knew that this master wanted to settle accounts after the fall.She bit the bullet, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Yan Lingyu, tell me, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Duan Qingming despised Yan Lingyu 120 times in his heart again.From the looks of it, this guy who took advantage of the fire and robbed him was really ungrateful, and he was merciless at all.

Seeing that Duan Qingming made a clever compromise.Only then did Yan Lingyu raise his eyebrows happily, and said, "Of course the road is important."

Halfway through the speech, Yan Lingyu's tone became heavy again: "Think about it, if the snow keeps falling, then, within half a month, all the roads leading to the capital will be blocked, once the road is blocked To be honest, the common people cannot go out, and their livelihood is naturally difficult. In addition to the freezing weather, the common people lack food and clothing. Undoubtedly, many people will definitely die of starvation and ice. If this is the case, after this spring, I'm afraid it will cause a plague."

Duan Qingming nodded involuntarily. In fact, the situation in the coming year is basically the same as what Yan Lingyu expected.You must know that the roads were blocked by ice and snow first, and then it was difficult to walk. In the end, the poor people who had no food at home either died of freezing or starving to death.Or the simple dwellings were crushed and turned into no fixed place. Then, in the end, a certain number of people died in this snow disaster.

After the spring of next year, if these corpses are not disposed of in time, then once the breath and poisonous gas of the dead corpses spread, a plague will be inevitable.

Therefore, what Yan Lingyu said was the same as what Duan Qingming thought, that is, the road comes first.

You must know that when roads pass, people pass, and when people pass, goods pass.Although it can't solve the fundamental problem, at the very least, the goods and people are connected, then most people should escape this disaster.

But the problem now is that the temperature is so low that a drop of water can turn into ice. How can we clean up the snow and ice, and then make the road smooth?
Duan Qingming still remembered that just now, after they left the mansion, they saw many officers and soldiers clearing the snow.Moreover, it really took a lot of effort for them to leave the city.

Yan Lingyu frowned, as if he was really stumped.

Duan Qingming smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to melt ice and snow, but you only need one thing."

When Yan Lingyu heard it, he immediately asked: "What do you need? What do you think?"

Duan Qingming said: "Salt..."

Yan Lingyu was stunned for a moment: "Salt?"

Isn't salt used for cooking and eating?How can it be used to melt ice and snow?Furthermore, how much salt is needed to melt the snow and ice in a city full of roads?How much can it melt?
You know, in that era, salt was just being developed and eaten by people. All the salt was under the unified control of the salt officials under the imperial court, and then distributed everywhere. Therefore, for salt at that time, control Be quite strict.

Seeing Yan Lingyu's expression, Duan Qingming said confidently: "Salt is the best at melting ice and snow, no matter how cold the weather is, it doesn't matter. Moreover, this salt doesn't need high-quality refined salt. The processed coarse salt is enough. After the salt melts the ice and snow, it can be reused again and again. Moreover, we can start with the official roads and the main traffic routes in the city. I believe that the coarse salt in the imperial court’s inventory should be fine. .”

Yan Lingyu frowned, and said, "But, is it really possible?"

Of course Yan Lingyu wasn't suspicious of Duan Qingming.What he doubted was the feasibility of this method and the need for salt and the like.Moreover, the size of the amount.

Duan Qingming nodded: "It's definitely possible."

In the previous life, Duan Qingming had dealt with a salt merchant.The salt merchant told Duan Qingming that in winter, he accidentally spilled a bag of salt on the mountain road. At that time, he was alone, the servant fell to his death, and the donkey escaped.He was hurt again.I was unable to retrieve the salt, so I marked it and wanted to retrieve it the next day.Unexpectedly, when he went to the original place the next day, he found that the snow there had all melted.Moreover, his salt disappeared without a trace.

At that time, the salt merchant thought that someone had stolen his salt, so he stood in the snow and wanted to cry, cursing the unscrupulous thief. The snow melted and poured into the snow water.

The accidental conclusion is naturally not enough for outsiders to believe. This businessman neither fully believes nor will he give up.Therefore, he was very angry at that time, and he was also very lost in his heart.

After the businessman went back, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the less angry he became.Taking advantage of the heavy snow, he simply took half a packet of salt and sprinkled it in the snowy yard, wanting to see how the salt was lost.

Sure enough, on the second day, the snow where the salt had been sprinkled had miraculously melted, and the melted snow had flowed to other places. In the space, when people see it, there is an indescribable weirdness.

The salt merchant has seen that those ice and snow really melted, and after melting, they will not freeze again.In the melted snow water, because of the salt, the range is spreading.However, apart from this, the snow and ice in other places in the yard are still thick, without any change.

In the end, when the salt merchant was doing business with Duan Qingming from his previous life, he unwittingly took this as an interesting story and told Duan Qingming.Yibo Duan Qingming smiled.At that time, Duan Qingming just laughed it off when he heard it, but took it seriously in his heart.

In fact, most people who were born on the side of the salt sea know the truth that salt can melt snow.Because, in places rich in salt, even if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, they will not freeze at all.So, this matter is actually not a secret.However, in the inland area, few people know about this theory. After all, the transportation was not developed at that time, and after the price was raised layer by layer, the salt was even more expensive than rice in the hands of the common people, and these ordinary people If you get a jar of salt, you will treasure it carefully. Where will you use it to put it around, or use it to experiment with melting snow?
Duan Yu on the side raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing Duan Qingming's words.It was probably because he didn't expect that the elder sister who seemed to be full of plans on weekdays could understand this truth.

In fact, in modern times, everyone knows that salt can melt snow.In the words of the 21st century, these snows are actually melting and solidifying constantly, but the two speeds are equal, so they always remain solid. This is why, in the winter, there are piles of ice and snow, there is no The reason for the melting!
Moreover, people in modern times know that the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of water. After sprinkled with salt, the water around the snow will become salt water, so it will not freeze!

In this way, the snow will continue to melt and cannot freeze back, so there will be less and less snow!
Therefore, Duan Yu actually knows Duan Qingming's truth that salt can melt snow.However, because he was still young in ancient times, and he was not at ease about the future, so he simply didn't think about it.

Duan Yu still remembers that in the modern age of advanced network information, all the information can be found on the Internet.He also remembers that the asphalt and cement roads were eroded by salt water.Therefore, at present, because many countries want to protect their country's roads, the method of spreading salt to melt snow is no longer allowed, and the newly developed deicing agent is used to melt snow.

What's more, Duan Yu still remembers that in the modern age of the 21st century, the air temperature is constantly rising, and there are almost no snowfalls in many places, so things like salt and snow melting are even more unnecessary.

Originally, Duan Yu wanted to tell Duan Qingming and Yan Lingyu that the salt could damage the road.However, after a second thought, he decided to remain silent.

After all, Duan Yu is still just a child now, if a child does too many unexpected things, it will surely arouse others' suspicion.Furthermore, Duan Yu also knows that the snow in the city is getting thicker day by day, making it difficult to travel, so it is imperative to melt the snow.As for whether the road surface is destroyed or not, if some roads can be used to change the fate of some people, it would be a good deal.What's more, on the roads in ancient times, the roads were all mud roads. How can there be so many modern asphalt roads and cement roads?The snow on this dirt road has melted away, at most there will be less grass growing next year, anyway, it will not have much impact.

Having made up his mind, Duan Yu decided not to dissuade these two anymore.

However, there are some things that you can't do, but you can't if you don't know.Duan Yu thought for a while, then reminded the two of them: "But, I heard that this salt is very corrosive, right, I wonder if it will affect it?"

After hearing this, Yan Lingyu shook his head slightly, and said: "I can't take care of this right now. The road is broken and can be repaired. But this person is dead, but he can't live again."
