Chapter 959: Bitter Winter(2/2)

When the refugees block the door, it's time for the capital's officials and powerful men to show their strength.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty in normal history fell to endless natural disasters over decades.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that someone is causing trouble inside!

Even if the temperature outside drops sharply, it does not affect the normal use of floor heating and the warmth of the bedroom.

At this time, he has basically reached the level where the cold and heat are not invading, so he naturally does not care about the sudden cooling of the weather.

The clan school also has enough facilities to keep out the cold, so it will not be affected and is still functioning normally.

He had read the historical books of this world before and found that the situation was similar to that of the normal historical world. The real bifurcation point only appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

The subsequent Nanming court lasted for more than eighty years but was completely destroyed.

Not only the rural people in the suburbs of Beijing, but also the disaster-stricken people in Zhili, and even the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains affected by the cold disaster, may form groups and come to the capital to pray.

I'm afraid I'll be very busy in the future.

It doesn't matter if some things don't happen, but once something happens, it will be exposed, and it will be very uncomfortable for the current generation and the imperial court.

If the price increase is too large, ordinary people at the lowest level will simply not be able to afford it!

It was Jia Rong who personally came forward to stop the crazy moves of the distinguished bosses.

However, the sudden cooling of the capital this time made him think of something.

According to Jia Rong, this weather will last for at least half a month, and possibly even longer.

The noble bosses who own large coal mines and are involved in the briquette business are all excited and will take the opportunity to increase the price of briquettes.

In the morning, I received briquettes distributed by the clan, but they sold them at a high price in the afternoon. I was simply not a son of a man.

Suddenly, the situation in Beijing was very dangerous!

In such cold weather, it is not easy for all kinds of food supplies transported through the Grand Canal to reach the capital smoothly.

The prices of various herbal medicines used to treat wind and cold have skyrocketed, and the cost of treatment has risen again and again in a short period of time, causing the families of patients to complain.

At the very least, compared to firewood that requires a lot of land and space to store, briquettes have huge advantages.

If it weren't for those grain shops and the merchants hoarding goods, and most of the people standing behind them were relatives of the emperor, I'm afraid they would have been severely punished.

After all, it is not difficult to find a temporary job in the capital, on the contrary, it is very easy.

I just don’t know whether Daqian, which has been almost at peace for a long time, can withstand such repeated impacts?

Apart from anything else, it is hard to say whether Changpingcang in various places, including the capital, still has enough food stored in it.

These guys are the cancer in the clan. They only care about themselves and don't care about the life and death of the family members.

The royal family and the court have not done any good deeds. You, a distinguished minister, are so active. Could it be that you have other motives?

Not to mention anything else, the reserves of major grain stores in the capital alone are enough to support the people of the capital for a month.

No one knows how long the cold weather can last, and how long the heavy snow can continue to fall.

Even in the mansions of powerful officials, there are not a few people who suffer frostbite from the sudden cold weather. After all, it has not yet reached the cold winter of March 9th, and no one will really wrap themselves as tightly as a rice dumpling.

Yes, Jia Rong and the distinguished bosses are selling well today.

He was in a very bad mood today. While he was urging the court to quickly carry out disaster relief operations, he was constantly sending envoys out of the city to find out the specific situation outside the capital.

There is no way, the weather is too cold, the snowflakes that appear from time to time melt and freeze, and before the snowflakes can freeze, they continue to melt, and new snowflakes fall and continue to freeze.

As a result, the layers of ice crystals will appear and freeze solid, and it will be easy to slide to the ground if you step on it...

After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I became even busier,
Chapter completed!
