October, the beginning of the year.

It was sunny.

The snowfall for several consecutive days has caused the temperature to drop recently. Even if it is through the carbon fire, you can feel the air conditioner. Today it is sunny, and the court and the country breathe a sigh of relief.

Continuous snowfall will inevitably lead to snow disasters. In this era, the emergency response is too slow. Once a snow disaster occurs, a large number of cattle and sheep will inevitably freeze to death and frostbite.

Especially carbon is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it at all. In this era, there has not yet been coal or cotton quilts, so it is often common for people to freeze to death.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to do anything about these things, and some things were inevitable after all.

Moreover, the knowledge he gained from Li Kang's memory was too complicated, and he didn't notice some things at all, but today, he thought of something.

There is no cotton in the Central Plains now, and the technology of mining coal is immature. The only way is to wool cloth, but the Qin Empire did not have so much wool and there was no mature textile technology.

Although there are ideas, they cannot be formed.

According to previous years' practice, after continuous heavy snow, there will inevitably be severely affected areas. The local government's report is probably already on the way.

Snow disaster.

It has always existed since the First Emperor ascended the throne, but the importance of each year is different.

It is precisely because it happened on time every year that Ying Zheng was accustomed to it that he did not think of this in advance, and things were delayed.

This year, countless people will inevitably die.

...

Standing in front of the windowsill of the study, Ying Zheng's eyes were as sharp as a raging one. In the past few days, he also began to practice martial arts, and his body became healthier and stronger.

It seemed as if his body had recovered from youth, no longer as dead as before. For a moment, he had the urge to fight with Wang Ben.

But in an instant, this impulse was suppressed, and he knew in his heart that as an emperor, he should still leave enough trump cards.

"I, Wang Wan, pay homage to Your Majesty. Today is the year. I hope that Your Majesty will come true..." Wang Wan walked into the study and saw Ying Zheng standing in front of the window. He quickly bowed solemnly and said.

"Hahaha……"

With a chuckle, Ying Zheng also looked at Wang Wan and said, "Similarly, I hope that Wang Xiang will come true and be healthy in the thirty years of the First Emperor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wang Wan's joy in her heart lasted for a moment, and her face was completely replaced by solemnity. He knew in his heart that nothing was as important as snow disasters.

"Your Majesty, just now the news came from governments in various places that the snow disasters in Zhongyangzhou, Dingyang, Fushi Sanzhan County, Beidi County Jingyang, Wushi and other places in Shangjun..."

"Now the counties and counties are far away from all over the country. Now that heavy snow is blocked, I am afraid that if the snow disaster is severe, these counties will not be affected by these counties..."

"The inner history alone has suffered snow disasters in seven counties, ten people were frostbite, fifteen people were frozen to death, and fifty houses collapsed..."

At this time, Wang Wan was also in a heavy heart. No matter at any time, it would be unlucky to die. Moreover, this year was destined to be a turbulent year for the Qin Empire.

"At thirty years, disasters arose!"

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng decisively ordered, saying: "Order the local government to immediately assist the households in the collapse of the house and rebuild it immediately."

"During the reconstruction process, the government provides accommodation and must not let them sleep on the streets. If there is a heavy snowfall, they will definitely die."

"promise."

He nodded and agreed. Wang Wan had to object, but he could never say anything at the end of his mouth. Human life was at stake, and any means must be taken.

For a long time, the government of the Qin Dynasty only helped the people of the affected countries to overcome difficulties. The main force was the people of the Chinese, not the Qin Dynasty's official office.

However, at this moment, Ying Zheng issued a decree and he had to agree.

"Although the beginning of the year has arrived, snowfall is still possible before the ploughing starts..."

Nowadays, the cold winter will only become more serious. If you want spring to bloom, you must wait until after the plowing starts in February, and there will be more than two months left.

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Ying Zheng knew that it was urgent to solve the problem of heating.

"Previous Wang, do you know what can I use to keep warm in this cold winter?" After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng looked directly at Wang Wan and said.

As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Wan managed the national economy and people's livelihood. This issue was within the scope of the national government. It was just Ying Zheng's small problem that made Wang Wan silent.

For a moment, he couldn't speak out.

Wang Wan had never understood it because he was born from an extraordinary background and later became more advanced in the Qin Empire. He had never understood it and felt this.

"Your Majesty, I don't know!"

...

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan in surprise. He did not expect that the imperial prime minister would actually give him such an answer.

"Go to learn about it, and then hold a court meeting immediately to discuss how to deal with this snow disaster..."

Ying Zheng knew a little, but he didn't know much. After all, he was the noble First Emperor and had never lived such a life.

In the era when Li Kang lived, there was no such situation at all, so he could only let Wang Wan understand.

"promise."

Nodding and agreeing, Wang Wan left the study with guilt. Today's conversation completely shocked Wang Wan. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he knew too little about the Great Qin Empire.

After breathing a long sigh, Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze. The snow disaster was severe and there was still two months left, so he had to think about a solution.

As soon as he thought of this, Ying Zheng began to recall, hoping to find the answer from Li Kang's memory.

"Cotton and wool cloth are not feasible, and it has been rejected. Now, we can only find another way!"

Ying Zheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "The stove, brazier, kang..."

In this era, the most popular brazier was, perhaps not a brazier, but a kind of piled up with earthen embryos, burning firewood to keep warm.

However, this type of heating method is too restrictive. Most of the households use firewood instead of carbon fire. Firewood is easy to burn and should not be used to produce heat.

In a cold winter, you must prepare firewood as high as a hill, not enough. Carbon fire is expensive, and only some nobles, powerful people, civil and military officials in the court will use it.

The thoughts flashed in his mind, and Ying Zheng knew that it was only suitable for him at present, but not for the people. After all, in the era of the Qin Empire, iron smelting technology was immature and large-scale furnaces could not appear.

Even if it appears, the Chinese people have no money to burn charcoal. In their opinion, the money and food in their hands are all used to survive.

Various thoughts emerged one by one in my heart, and Ying Zheng took a fancy to the kang, because this technical problem was not big, and ordinary craftsmen could complete it.

It can also keep warm, and there is no need for high-priced charcoal fire, only wheat straw, grass, etc.
