NOVEL WEB Chapter 52
Soon it will be winter again!
Liangzhou, people here are used to the cold, but this time, the cold seems to be different from usual!
"Why is this winter so cold?".
An old man rubbed his hands, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and said to the young man next to him worriedly!
"Yes, some rivers are frozen, this cold current is too evil!"
The young man responded, with a hint of helplessness and fear in his voice
With the continuous invasion of the cold snap, the land of Liangzhou is gradually covered with thick snow!
The snow on the streets is up to your ankles, and the ice hangings on the houses hang like swords under the eaves!
The grass on the grassland is covered with ice and snow, and the branches of the trees are decorated with ice crystals like jade tree branches!
However, this beautiful sight carries endless killing opportunities!
Over time, the severity of the ice disaster became apparent!
The land of Liangzhou is covered with thick ice and snow, as if it has become a frozen world!
Rivers and lakes have formed a hard ice surface, and even the rivers that are usually rough are blocked by ice and snow!
"Why does this ice disaster keep going?"
The inhabitants of the city are complaining!
They are stuck at home, unable to go out to work or buy supplies!
Fortunately, I planted hybrid rice last year, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat now!
Although everyone knows that this winter will be very cold, we have prepared some firewood in advance!
But the firewood will last for a month at most, but look at this day, the snow will not stop for a month!
"How are we going to live if we go on like this?"
A woman spoke anxiously, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
The officials in the city are also anxious!
They organized people to clear the snow, but the snow was too strong, and the streets that had just been cleaned were covered with fresh snow not long after!
At the same time, the shortage of warm clothes also made this cold winter uniquely difficult!
On the grasslands, herders face an even greater dilemma, with their reserves of forage running out in a month at most!
Even if the snow stops, the grass in this grassland will not grow so quickly!
As the ice disaster continues to rage, rumors spread in Liangzhou!
"What the hell is going on? Why is this year's ice so bad?".
An old man slapped the table angrily
"We have never suffered such a disaster in Liangzhou!".
"Is God punishing us?"
A woman said in a trembling voice
"Did we do something wrong to be punished like this?".
"Could it be because of the curse caused by the return to Qin Zhoumu?"
However, there are also some who are skeptical.
"I don't believe it's a punishment from heaven. "
"Besides, if it weren't for the hybrid rice of Qinzhou Mu last year, we would be even worse now!"
A young man retorted!
Ma Teng and Han Sui were discussing countermeasures in the government at this time!
"I don't think this ice disaster can get over for a while, how can this be good?".
"There is no shortage of food, but firewood and forage will definitely not be able to hold on!"
Han Sui was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do!
At this time, Pound stepped forward
"My lord, why don't we ask the lord for help, this is the only way now!"
"In the past, the natural disasters in Liangzhou were all carried by ourselves, but now it is different, we are Liangzhou under the master!".
"Jizhou is rich in products, there must be a way!".
"What can the lord do? We are not short of rice, we are short of warm clothes!"
"What is lacking is firewood and forage!".
"I've heard that the lord is still lacking in these things!"
Although Ma Teng was excited, he also felt that Qin Xuan had no good way to do this!
But Han Sui had a different opinion
"General Ma, I think what Pang De said is right, the lord is an immortal, and there is no way to say it!"
Ma Teng agreed when he saw that both of them were unanimous!
So he wrote a letter to Jizhou in the name of Liangzhou Mansion and sent a fast horse to Jizhou to send it over!
Five days later, Qin Xuan finally received the message from Ma Teng's messenger!
"Lord, General Ma sent me to report!".
"The ice disaster in Liangzhou is serious, there is a serious shortage of firewood and warm clothing, and there is also a shortage of fodder for horses!"
"There will be a shortage in a month at most!".
"Please save Liangzhou, right? It's too miserable."
After saying this, the messenger knelt down and kowtowed several times in succession!
Ma Chao, who rushed to hear the news, also knelt down together after hearing it
"Please save Liangzhou!".
Qin Xuan hurriedly helped the two of them up
"It's not been a day or two since this ice disaster, why are you only writing now!".
Ma Chao explained to his father Ma Teng
"Presumably my father and General Han don't want to trouble the lord!"
"It's just that I didn't expect this ice disaster to get more and more serious, so I had no choice but to think of asking the lord for help!"
Qin Xuan shook his head, people in this era are really not sensitive enough to crises!
"You don't have to be in a hurry, since Liangzhou is under my command, I will naturally help!"
"Let me ask you, was the ice disaster bad when you came over?"
Qin Xuan turned his head to the messenger and asked!
The messenger immediately replied
"Back to the lord, although Bingzhou is not as powerful as Liangzhou, their situation is not very good!".
"Their biggest problem is the lack of food, and now all kinds of prices in the state have soared, and many people can't afford rice!"
"And although they are not as cold as Liangzhou, they lack warm clothes and it is estimated that many people will freeze to death!"
"Especially the part near Liangzhou is even more serious!".
Qin Xuan nodded to show that he understood, turned his head and said to Ma Chao!
"You take him down to rest first, and I'll figure out a way to do things in Liangzhou!"
Qin Xuan had a clue about this matter, so he asked Fu Zhu and Tian Feng to discuss!
"Gongda, Yuan Hao, are the forage reserves in Jizhou sufficient now?".
"Back to the lord, it's very sufficient, if it's not enough, you can also find the Cui family to buy it!"
When Qin Xuan heard it, he arranged it!
"Gongda, you arrange for someone to notify the Cui family, first send a batch of forage to Liangzhou, and we will buy it at the normal price!"
"And I heard that the Cui family's current pig farm is also quite large, and they also purchase some meat!"
"Mobilize the masses and the big families in Jizhou to donate to our brothers!".
"As long as there is food, nothing else, it is all voluntary!"
"I'll pick it up in three days!".
I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard it!
These big families, except for individual families, don't make a fortune, even if they don't make money, they still want them to donate!
"What kind of expression do you have? I don't believe they will donate? I'll teach you a trick, you ...... like this!"
Frustrated and overjoyed
"The lord is clever!".
Qin Xuan then continued to arrange the next thing
"Yuan Hao, Qingzhou is rich in coal and iron ore!".
"You call someone to tell Qingzhou Taishou Xun Chen, and ask him to collect coal and iron ore in advance!!".
"You tell him how much you can take, there's no limit!".
"I'll pick it up myself in five days!".
Yes, after Xun Chen's surrender, Qin Xuan did what he said, and reused him as the Taishou of Qingzhou!
The reason why Qin Xuan said to pick it up in person was because the system reminded the upgraded content a few days ago!
