Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

That night the snow began to get lighter again, and the snow finally stopped the next morning. The imperial court ordered the military and civilians to start clearing snow.

Li Shen's Prince Ji's Mansion also dispatched guards and people from Huangzhuang to clear the cement road from Huangzhuang to Chang'an.

They also organized people to carry out rescue and disaster relief activities in villages near Huangzhuang.

This time, the villages around Chang'an were indeed seriously damaged. Li Shen went to check a village near Huangzhuang.

Half of the more than 200 houses in the village were collapsed by snow. Li Shen heard that some collapsed at night, killing many people.

In the afternoon, there was finally news that parts of Guannai Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, and Longyou Road were affected by heavy snow to varying degrees.

Guannai Road is especially the worst. Counties have reported serious house collapses. Some people are even staying at relatives' homes.

But some are truly homeless.

That day, Li Shimin in Liangyi Hall frowned after listening to the reports from various places.

The losses were somewhat beyond imagination. Longyou in Henan and Hebei was fine. The snow was not that heavy, but people and livestock froze to death.

As for the area inside the pass, it was huge, with [-]% of the houses collapsed, and it was estimated that at least [-] people would be homeless.

"I decree that all states and counties distribute food every day to ensure food supply. If any people starve to death, the local states and counties will kill them.

States and counties that have homeless people try their best to arrange and build temporary shelters. "Li Shimin thought about it and could only do this. Food transportation also takes time. He could only rely on the states and counties' own food to carry the load first.

Even if the snow clears and horses can run, carriages may not be able to pass.

"Your Majesty, the food supply in various states and counties should be able to survive for a while. Fortunately, the old king's Quyuan plow was removed to increase food production, otherwise it would be hard to say." Fang Xuanling sighed.

"Your Majesty, the Guannai Road is severely affected now. Because it is close to Chang'an and there are charity warehouses, the states and counties do not have much food.

Now it takes a while to clear the snow on the road, and there is no time to transport food. I am afraid that a large number of refugees will go south to Chang'an City. " Changsun Wuji said, his worries are not without reason.

This is normal. As long as it is a disaster year, ordinary people like to run to the capital. As for the reason, no one knows.

The exact number of victims has not been determined yet. We only know that there are at least 10,000+ people. This is very dangerous for Chang'an.

If someone instigates another uprising, it will be much worse than a snowstorm.

"I think it is better to take precautions as soon as possible, especially to strictly check the refugees who have no roads at the city gate," Gao Shilian also suggested.

"Okay, Lord Yi Guo" Li Shimin agreed after thinking about it.

"I'm here" Qin Qiong stood up

"I order your [-] Zuo Wuwei soldiers to be on standby at all times. If there is an accident, you can go ahead and ask for orders later."

For this kind of thing, only the older generation can get the treatment of acting first and asking for orders later. Li Shimin is still very confident in his personality charm.

Now these old generals are absolutely loyal to them.

"The minister takes orders."

"It is necessary to open roads in various places as soon as possible to transport food and supplies. If there are any changes, report them to me in a timely manner."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Shen has already started disaster relief activities, and the passages of more than a dozen villages near Huangzhuang have basically been opened.

Thirty-four thousand people were left homeless after their houses collapsed. Li Shen made a prompt decision and arranged for these people to attend the school in Huangzhuang.

After Wang Hongfu's expansion, it can accommodate [-] students, all of whom are his guards and the children of the craftsmen's families in the workshop.

Now that the heavy snow has stopped classes, it is just in time to accommodate the victims. Although it is a bit crowded, it is better than being cold outside.

There is a stove in every classroom in the school.

Li Shen also treated old people, pregnant women or those with infant children. Assigned to the food court.

Li Shen has a total of four villages, all of which are brick houses. And the planning is very neat, they are all two-acre houses.

Many families had empty rooms, and the food court obeyed Li Shen's arrangements. They were grateful to Li Shen from the bottom of their hearts.

Nowadays, every family has a prosperous life thanks to Li Shen. If Li Shen hadn't built the house during the heavy snowfall, they would have been like these victims and might have froze to death.

Many families in the four Zhuangzi secretly set up longevity brands for Li Shen, so they did whatever Li Shen said.

A total of several hundred people were arranged to live in Shiyi homes and distributed food. For some pregnant women or women who needed to breastfeed, Li Shen also specially arranged to send more meat.

In fact, Li Shen himself felt that he was a good person, and he would help whenever he could within his ability. Later generations would often find it difficult for one side to get support from all sides.

Within a few days, just as Changsun Wuji had expected, victims of the recent disaster began to appear in Chang'an. From a few hundred at first, to thousands, and then to tens of thousands, more and more victims gathered.

In the past few days, temporary shacks have begun to be erected outside Chang'an City, and princes and nobles have also begun to use food to provide porridge outside the city.

Li Shen's house was no exception. Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang would take several carts of grain and several large pots to the east gate of the city every day, set up the large pots and start serving porridge.

However, as time went by, the number of victims increased, and there were already [-] to [-] people gathered, which made the ministers in the court begin to worry again.

At night, Li Shen hugged Lu Dingniang and prepared to fall asleep.

"Lang Jun, the victims outside are so pitiful. Today I heard that more than a dozen people froze to death in the east side of the city. And there were some fights over receiving porridge today.

If the military guards hadn't arrived in time, they might have died. "Lu Dingniang told Li Shen what happened today,

Li Shen really wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. In this era, human lives are like nothing.

"Don't worry, the court will definitely find a solution. At least they won't starve to death now." Li Shen could only say this.

"Your Majesty, the number of victims outside the city is estimated to be [-], and people are still arriving one after another. There is chaos outside the city.

There are fights and troubles every day, and people freeze to death every day. I think it should be controlled, otherwise there will be even greater trouble. "At the court meeting, Changsun Wuji raised the previous question again.

"By decree, Zuo Wuwei is dispersed outside the city gates to maintain order. Anyone who disrupts order will be sentenced to two years of hard labor."

"My lord, I obey the order." Qin Qiong accepted the order.

Li Shen had nothing to do today and followed Lu Dingniang to the east gate to give porridge. There were three gates in the east of Chang'an City. The one they gave porridge to was the Yanxing Gate closest to the palace every day.

This is also the gate with the largest number of victims in the east of the city. The reason is very simple, because Prince Ji's palace has the largest porridge team and there is a lot of food. A digression is that Li Shen has more than 10,000 acres of fertile land.

So there are many disaster victims gathered here.

When Li Shen arrived, the Duke's family was already serving porridge, and the guards on Li Shen's side also started setting up pots.

Li Shen took people to look at the disaster area without incident. Three words could describe it as dirty and messy. There was defecation and defecation everywhere.

Although there is no smell in winter, it looks disgusting.

Li Shen went to the other two doors and looked at the same thing. Li Shen lost the mood to watch and returned to Yanxing Gate to start giving porridge.
