Emperor Tongzhi's anger was more because he had no face! Before the New Year, Weng Tonghe and Qingliu kept reminding him to pay attention to agriculture and agriculture!

Do you not pay attention to it? Of course, I pay attention to it, but I am not as concerned about industry!

Are the farmers not their own people? Are they willing to watch them die of starvation? But Emperor Tongzhi really didn't expect the snow to be so heavy this year.

Not only his age, but even his uncles remembered that there were few such ice and snow disasters in the Qing Dynasty!

Starting from the twelfth lunar month, the temperature in the north and south of the Qing Dynasty was lower than in previous years. Hangzhou sent a telegram to West Lake for many years, and this year you can drive on it!

The wind and snow in the Jianghuai area are also very strong. Even in the mountainous areas of Guangzhou and Fujian, snowfall also occurred in those mountainous areas with high altitudes!

The situation in the south is better, the key is that in the north, the snow will stop for three days next day, and the snow will not melt, and the snow will be crushed.

But the situation is fine, and the local order is still there!

However, after the twelfth lunar month enters the first lunar month, the snowfall zone in the north suddenly began to expand rapidly. This is not to stop for three days next day, but to stop for half a day next day, or stop for one day next day!

The snow on the ground is covered with snow, and the temperature is still low, so the people can't clean it up at all!

In fact, around the tenth day of the first lunar month, many mountainous areas have been blocked by heavy snow. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many plain villages have also been blocked by snow!

Although some sledge snowmobile could be taken, the snow had become a disaster by this time. Many rural grass houses were crushed and the doors of many rural tiled houses were blocked by snow.

In this case, even the plain villages cannot travel. Only the village chief, the security chief, Li Zheng and others came out to report the disaster in the wind and snow, and asked for relief from the county government!

But they also encountered the most common people in that era. At first, no one cared about their demands and did not even report them!

In the eyes of those county officials, it is not a problem that more than a dozen people died of cold one day and poor people of twenty or thirty people!

What about the Qing Dynasty that year did not freeze to death? This is a very common thing!

Until the end, when the number of deaths reported by these countrysides exceeded 100 in a single day, the counties could no longer sit still and raised funds and donated to prepare for disaster relief.

But at this time the news leaked, and grain merchants began to gather to raise prices. In many counties in Zhili and Shanxi, the rice prices were close to 200 cents, which was a high price that never happened since the hair was pacified!

At this time, the local officials had to report the disaster to Shangfeng. They did not report it directly to the court, but to Taiyuan and Baoding Prefecture!

The Zhili Governor's Office is still vacant. Since Zeng Guofan's death, the position of the Zhili Governor has been vacant, and they are the military officers in the capital who are temporarily serving as military aircraft.

Emperor Tongzhi had his own plans. Zhili was the vanguard of industrialization in the Qing Dynasty. The governor of Zhili must choose his own people, and it is best to abolish this position.

The entire province of Zhili was completely under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, that is, the imperial power was directly under the control of the emperor!

That's why he was not in a hurry to choose the Governor of Zhili, but instead asked Zuo Zongtang to act as the Governor of Zhili when he was investigating the railway in Baoding!

Zuo Jigao's temper doesn't rub the sand. How do you still put the word in Taiyuan? Zuo Zongtang's telegram was sent to the Forbidden City!

He did not add any water at all. He reported the emergency disaster in Zhili without any discount at all!

When Emperor Tongzhi heard that the disaster was so serious, he couldn't hold back his face. The Qingliu said nothing, but he knew that these people must be whispering in their stomachs.

‘Look, what are we talking about? Before the New Year, the court had to pay attention to agriculture, but in the end he didn’t listen, he finally came to revenge?’

Zaichun felt so angry that the corners of his mouth were blisters. He was so angry that he thought about it. It was already February. The disaster fool thought it was formed before the tenth day of the first lunar month!

These bastards in the area have been delayed for twenty days! They have been delayed for twenty days. How many people will die? There will definitely be a period of data explosion later!

The entire Yangxin Palace was as cool as a cicada, and no one dared to speak. Just listening to the little emperor's rage, the six officials shrank their necks one by one.

"I'm mute? I'm mute? I'm all mute after I've made merits. Now I'm all mute after I have any problems? Is this how you are loyal to the emperor and the country?"

"I shouted that the people are the most important. Now the people are frozen to death, but the food for disaster relief has not been distributed until now?"

"Baofeng! I ask you... How much disaster relief food has the Ministry of Revenue distributed so far? How many official warehouses have been opened in various places?"

Bao Jing was sweating coldly on his forehead, but he had to reply, "I am incompetent... After seeing the telegram this morning, I quickly allocated 100,000 stones of grain and distributed it in sections along the already built Beijing-Han Railway. It is loading the truck now..."

"Haha? Is it loading the truck today? Is it still using an unbuilt railway? A bastard... When will this food be in the mouth of the people?"

"What should I do in Shanxi? What should I do in the disaster-stricken areas in northern Henan? Some areas in Shandong are also affected... The Beijing-Hanzhou Railway is located in Baoding, Zhengding... So what are you going to do in Zhili prefectures without railways?"

"I don't know what you asked? That's how you did it?"

"Okay...you said that you are transporting by railway. So I ask you, have all the workers who returned home during the holidays before the New Year? How many of them have come back? When the railway trial operation is malfunctioning, how much manpower do you have to repair it?"

"Fuck! How should you transport the last few miles to the people? Do you have any documents?"

Baofeng knelt on the ground with a thud and tears and sweat fell down, "I am incompetent... I am ashamed of Your Majesty's trust, and I beg Your Majesty to punish you a lot!"

After saying that, he took off his hat!

"What I want is a solution, not a kowtow bug! Can the people survive by killing your head? You are all mute, and no one comes out to speak?"

Zaichun stretched out his fingers to point the civil and military officials in the court, and his fingers were so angry that he trembled!

At this moment, a person who had never expected anyone came forward and said, "Your Majesty! I... I have always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Logically, I should not be in charge of this civil affairs matter!"

"But at this moment, I can't help but say a few fair words! Please atone for Your Majesty!"

When people saw that it was Weng Tonghe who stood up, Li Hongzao next to him kept winking, but Weng Tonghe was determined to eat the weight today and didn't look at him at all.

Zai Chun's face turned slightly red and his confidence was not enough. "Master Weng said something even if he has something to say! I still trust the teacher..."

"Okay... Just your Majesty trusts you. I want to say that the responsibility for this matter cannot be borne by Lord Baojun, nor by the Minister of Military Affairs!"

“This is unfair!”
