Yu Zhining shook his head, with a hint of bitterness on his face.
"There is no other way but to ask the local governor and county magistrate to send people to tell the people to repair their houses."
In fact, this measure is not very effective.
Even if the air leakage in the house is solved, the weather inside the house is as cold as outside, and there is still no way to solve the root cause.
After a pause, he continued: "People in the north will stock up on firewood in advance to keep themselves warm during the cold weather."
"But every year, many people die due to Something happened because of the fire..."
"Hey, the people are in hardship!"
Yu Zhining suddenly let out a sigh.
Governing the world and keeping the people fed and clothed is easy to say but extremely difficult to do.
Wang Jian did not answer the question at this time. His mind was thinking about how to solve the problem of heating in winter.
Suddenly, something appeared in his mind.
Fire pit!
This is a killer in cold weather.
Yu Zhining saw Wang Jian in a daze, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him and asked softly.
"Brother Wang, what's on your mind?"
"Uh~"
Wang Jian turned around, waved his hand towards him and said with a smile.
"Nothing, I just thought of something."
Suddenly Wang Jian smelled the smell of burning sweet potatoes, so he quickly looked at the few sweet potatoes in the brazier.
Black and burnt.
So Wang Jian took a small stick and quickly pulled out the sweet potatoes.
"Fortunately, it's not completely burnt yet."
Wang Jian said to Zhining: "Brother Yu, try the roasted sweet potatoes. It tastes very fragrant."
"Haha, you are in luck today. Let me taste the taste of this high-yielding grain."
Yu Zhining imitated Wang Jian and pinched open the sweet potatoes.
A burst of fragrance hits your nostrils.
"It smells so good!"
Yu Zhining's eyes lit up, and then he took a big bite.
"Hmm... so hot... so soft, glutinous and sweet!"
The sweet potato in his mouth was so hot that he could not speak intermittently.
After finishing one sweet potato in a few seconds, Yu Zhining picked up another and ate it.
While eating, he sighed: "These sweet potatoes are so good. They are so delicious when eaten alone. There is no need for food to go with rice."
"If poor people don't have rice at home in the winter, Sometimes, roasting a few sweet potatoes is enough to satisfy your hunger."
Wang Jian shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, although sweet potatoes can be used as a staple food, eating too much will make you fart."
p>“It’s better to eat it mixed with rice and grains.. "
Yu Zhining disagreed with what Wang Jian said.
It's great that the people can have enough to eat. How can they think about so many issues about the combination of meat and vegetables.
While the two were chatting by the fire in Zhan Shifu, Li Shimin's desk was piled with memorials in the Ganlu Hall.
These were reports from governors from all over the north about the cold wave weather problem. /p>
"Huh~"
Li Shimin pinched his brows and took a long breath.
His heart was now very tired and extremely anxious.
< p> Cold waves are a big problem that has never been solved. Countless people have suffered disasters under the influence of cold waves....
The next day. >
The official meeting was held as normal.
Now that the weather was getting colder, Li Shimin also postponed the meeting for an hour.
Du Ruhui’s incident was vivid in his mind. Li Shimin is also afraid that these veterans will be frozen and have physical problems.
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Hey, the weather is getting colder. "
"Yeah, when I walked out of the door, I was blown by the wind, and my whole body was almost frozen. "
"It's not too cold now. It will be scary in a month or two. "
All the officials were whispering to each other and discussing a lot.
Their official robes were bulging high, which showed how many thick clothes they had stuffed inside.
In the high position.
Li Shimin looked dazed with dark circles under his eyes.
As the weather turned colder, Guanyin Maid began to cough again and her body became stuffy. Uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Sun Simiao prescribed some medicine, and he felt better after taking it.
But in the middle of the night, Guanyin Maid kept coughing, which also disturbed him. He couldn't sleep.
After waiting for the officials to whisper for a while, Li Shimin glanced at Wang De.
Then Wang De walked to the high-level side and said sharply. .
“Ministers, please be quiet, the court meeting has officially begun! "
The talking courtiers all shut up.
Shangshu Zuopu Shefang Xuanling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the people in Si Tianjian said that the weather this year will be worse than It has been colder in the past. "
"Moreover, the governors and governors of Liangzhou, Youzhou and other places have sent people to send memorials, hoping that the imperial court will allocate funds for them to purchase supplies for the winter to cope with the coming cold wave. "
These memorials from various places in the Tang Dynasty were first sent to the Shangshu Province. After screening, some important memorials that were difficult to make decisions would be sent to Li Shimin.
Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, also went out and said: "Your Majesty, Li Ji, XueWan Che and other generals also wrote military reports, saying that the weather this year was colder than before, and the army officers lacked winter clothing. "
"They also hope that the court will allocate funds or mobilize a batch of clothes and quilts to keep out the cold. ”
The military and civilians need money everywhere. If it were in the past, Li Shimin would be so worried that he could not eat or sleep.
Fortunately, the homes of several county magistrates were raided. , and collected a large amount of gold and silver from the Eastern Turks.
Now the national treasury is richer than before, and the purchase of clothes and appropriations are all small amounts.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Appropriation. This matter will be discussed by the Ministry of Finance and the Six Ministers, and then the memorial will be given to me for review. ”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. "
After Fang Xuanling and Hou Junji bowed, they retreated.
Next, several ministers made the same small request.
Appropriation.
Li Shimin didn’t talk much about this topic. He just waved his hand and said that as long as the reason was reasonable, he would give him as much as he wanted.
The officials who were satisfied with the request had their faces changed. Showing excited expressions.
It is better if the treasury has money. It is easier to ask His Majesty for money than to drink water.
Wait until the treasury money is exhausted. 8. Is it time to clean up another country?
Countries like Xue Yantuo, Tubo, and Goguryeo are very rich.
Li Shimin didn’t know what these people were thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, he frowned. He asked with a frown.
“My dear friends, this year’s cold wave is coming fiercely. How should the people survive this cold winter? ”
“Let’s all talk about it and give some opinions. "
Hearing this question, the civil and military officials buried their heads very low, and everyone was in a state of thinking.
Li Shimin turned to Fang Xuanling and asked: "Zuo Pushe , do you have any good ideas?
Fang Xuanling stood up with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty, you can ask the local county magistrate to instruct the people to repair their houses and prepare more firewood for the winter." "
"At the same time, for some lonely elderly people, the court should allocate funds to distribute some food and clothing to them. "
What Fang Xuanling said were some commonly used methods, which were effective, but not very good.
Li Shimin then asked Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang and others.
The opinions they gave were very different from those given by Fang Xuanling.
They all asked the county magistrate to tell the people to repair their houses. Prepare more firewood.
Although a large group of courtiers answered the question, to Li Shimin's ears, it sounded like one person answering.
Li Shimin sighed, and then looked at his Ying Mengxianchen
