Everyone nodded: "I know that those words cannot be said outside."

As they spoke, these people shrank their heads, put their hands in their pockets, and walked out of the hut despite the wind and snow.

After everyone had gone out, Chen Sheng turned around and looked at Chen Sanhu who had already climbed up: "Today's things were done well. Later, remember to go to the temple to get the money and hide it secretly. Wait for some time to live.

Take it out and use it.”

Chen Sanhu nodded and sneered: "Do you think they will believe it?"

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and patted Chen Sanhu on the head: "You don't care if they believe it or not, as long as we solve the matter and get the money, that's all."

Chen Sanhu chuckled: "When this matter is done and we get the money, I will ask my relatives to put it on the list for us to go to Jiaozhi Road. I will take my family and money to buy some land in the south and live a happy life.

."

Chen Sheng also showed a smile that he couldn't hide at this time: "Let's go to the pier."

……

In the cold month, ten days pass.

In the imperial palace of Yingtian City, which has countless palaces, there is such a building that looks very inconspicuous.

After entering the Meridian Gate, you will see the Inner Wulong Bridge and Fengtian Gate. After passing through the Fengtian Gate, you will find the Fengtian Hall.

And if you enter the Meridian Gate, no longer go in, but turn east and pass through the Zuoshun Gate. To the north are the Wenhua Hall and the Ciqing Palace, which is the East Palace behind.

With the Wenhua Hall and the East Palace here, the other buildings behind Zuoshun Gate are less eye-catching.

However, directly south of the Wenhua Palace, there is a row of palaces and houses built against the walls of the imperial palace.

Counting from Donghua Gate in the east, they are the Ancient and Modern Classics Library, the Incense Library, the Inner Carrier Library, and the Wenyuan Pavilion.

At this moment, in Wenyuan Pavilion, the incense charcoal was burning red, conveying a hint of warmth.

However, the officials of the Ming Dynasty's six departments, three Dharma divisions and monasteries and yamen halls gathered in Wenyuan Pavilion were a little restless, and even felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet and from the bottom of their hearts.

Walking in the Wenhua Palace, Hanlin scholar Xie Jin was holding a memorial in his hand, standing in front of the officials, facing the grandson who was sitting in front of the officials.

"Above, all the counties in Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, and along both sides of the Yangtze River are experiencing heavy snowfall."

"The three departments in Shandong and Henan have reported that it will be very cold this winter, but there is no snow. There are rumors among the people that this is harmful to the land, and natural disasters will occur."

"The commander of the Shandong capital reported to the commander-in-chief that there seemed to be White Lotus sect thieves in Shandong Province. He asked the court if he could dispatch the guards from Huai'an, Xuzhou, Kaifeng, Daming and other places to cooperate with the Shandong capital commander to conduct a strict investigation of the area."

"Jiujiang Prefecture reported that the people's houses were crushed by the heavy snow, and now they can only live in the prefecture and county cities. I hope the court will allocate grain, grass, money and relief as soon as possible."

"The Wuchang Prefecture reported to the government to mobilize grain and grass for relief."

"Huizhou Prefecture reported that there was a heavy snowfall in Huangshan Mountain, burying countless villages. The people were wailing and asking the court for relief."

One report after another was brought to Beijing from the local area, and Xie Jin reported on the snow conditions on both sides of the Yangtze River in the 27th year of Hongwu's reign.

The memorials asking for relief from the imperial court were like mountains pressing down on the officials present. Many of them had difficulty swallowing the saliva in their mouths.

Zhu Yunxi leaned on the armchair and looked at the courtiers quietly: "Have you heard it? Do the subjects not know the power of God? Do they think that being an official in the south will not encounter heavy snow disasters? Snow disaster in Zhejiang Road in the 24th year of Hongwu

Have you forgotten all the things?"

These words make people a little confused. Is he criticizing the local officials or the people in Wenyuan Pavilion?

Zhai Shan turned his eyes, then cupped his hands and said: "Fortunately, Taisun was wise enough to allocate money, food and coal in time to relieve the local crisis and save the people's suffering."

The civil servant took the lead and spoke, and the others echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips silently and looked at Ru Ru, the Minister of War with his head lowered: "How many Beijing troops are left in Yingtian City now?"

After her name was called, Ru Yu raised her head and looked at Taisun.

More than half a month has passed since the first snowfall in the south this winter, and there have only been five or six days without snow in the past twenty days.

Everyone can see clearly that the snow will be difficult to stop this year.

The more than 100,000 Beijing troops garrisoned inside and outside Yingtian City were finally mobilized.

It is precisely because of this that Mu Ying and other meritorious generals in the army, just as they had promised to the general affairs envoy Si Yamen, all boarded the walls of Yingtian City to guard the capital.

Ru Jin held up his hands and spoke in a deep voice: "Early this morning, ten thousand Beijing troops boarded the ship at Longwan Wharf and swam down to Hangzhou Fucang to transport grain and grass. Today, there are sixty thousand Beijing troops remaining in Yingtian City."

Zhu Yunxi pondered, there are now 20,000 Beijing troops on the Japanese side, and Chang Sheng on the Jiaozhi Road leads 30,000 troops.

Excluding the 60,000 people currently staying in Yingtian, the 200,000 Beijing troops have been mobilized to nearly 100,000 troops.

After grasping the latest situation of the Beijing army's mobilization, Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Yu Xin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was sitting on the stool with only half his buttocks.

"Household Department."

Yu Xin suddenly stood up: "I'm here."

"On both sides of the Yangtze River, how many prefectures and counties are currently affected by the disaster? Does the Ministry of Household Affairs have detailed numbers? How many grains and grasses have been transported from Jiaozhi Road to Fucang in Hangzhou? Does the Ministry of Household Affairs also have the number? Shouzhou, Ningxiang, and Pingxiang.

Coal, how much is sent to local areas?"

Zhu Yunxi put a series of questions on Yu Xin's face meticulously.

Yu Xin couldn't help but wrapped his sleeves and raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and swallowed: "I... I would like to report to Your Highness. There are currently 223 disaster-stricken prefectures and counties, and 34 are seriously affected.

Buildings collapsed or roads were blocked, making it difficult to connect.

The remaining prefectures and counties are limited to severe cold weather, and in the long run, there may be a shortage of food and clothing.

The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate 800,000 tons of grain and grass from the warehouse in Hangzhou and one million kilograms of coal in the three places. Then as long as the snow does not stop, the Ministry of Household Affairs will continue to allocate grain, grass and coal to help local areas.

The current disaster situation is severe, but fortunately, His Highness had the foresight to allocate food and grass before the disaster collapsed, and supplemented it with the court's troops and horses. Now the court can calmly deal with it."

This is a person who manages an official career.

Finally, don’t forget to point out who deserves the credit.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, just when everyone thought they had passed this test and were about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke again: "All of you ministers and ministers are my Ming Dynasty humerus, and you naturally care about the people of our Ming Dynasty. It has been snowy this winter for more than 20 days. How are the people in the place living now? Everyone.

Did you ever know?

Every time I hold up a history book and read it, I see that the people are in dire straits. If there is a disaster like today, they will have to sell their wives, children, land and houses just to have a bite of food to survive. I wonder if there is such a thing in the local area this year.

Something happened?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi leaned back on the chair and silently stared at the people in front of him.

The officials who were about to breathe a sigh of relief couldn't help but feel tense.
