The heavy snow finally stopped after a day and a night. Fortunately, it was not too serious, but the houses of many farmers in the suburbs were also crushed, resulting in homelessness. The people from the yamen placed them in the temple for temporary residence.

Many of the farmers' houses here are thatched huts, which are not easy to shelter from the wind and rain when hot in summer and cold in winter. However, this kind of house is very cheap, but the quality is very poor. The thatch is just covered with mud, and it is as thin as wooden boards, and it cannot withstand the wind and rain at all.

Such heavy snow will naturally collapse if it is slightly thicker, which is not surprising at all.

Cui Hao took people to see that there were not many people, and there were about a dozen households, which happened to be not too far from the imperial village.

I discussed with the yamen whether those people would like to come to the imperial village to work and sign a one-year contract, not to be slaves, and after saving enough money, they could go home to build a house.

Many farmers are willing to do it, knowing that the royal village has changed, and it is not the same as before, so they are rushing to do it.

Cui Hao asked the manager to register. It was the best for a family to do it, which was convenient for management. However, more than ten households were solved, but if it was too far away, it could only be solved by the yamen. It was impossible for one person to solve so many people.

Cui Hao has been busy with the Ministry of War and the yamen. He spent the whole day outside and sometimes he didn't have time to have a meal.

Why can't you pay them to build a house? It's not possible.

This is the emperor's people. There are already people from the yamen who are making arrangements. If others interfere in and add to it, it will make people think that the emperor is unkind.

Even if you do good deeds, you must pay attention to methods. Doing things wrong will harm others and yourself, and it may not be said to kill those innocent people.

Zilan prepared some pancakes for Cui Hao, mixing noodles with milk and eggs, which were crispy and delicious, and also brought some pickles to taste.

You can't even take the official business like this. If others can endure hardships, you can't stand the crime. What do you think of the Cui family?

I also installed a large water bag and boiled it at home in advance to cool it down to prevent the cold water from causing diarrhea. I also specially put some spiritual liquid in it. Staying outside for a day in such a cold day is really easy to get cold, so you should be careful.

Fortunately, the cloak and clothes and boots were prepared in advance, otherwise I would have been frozen now.

Although the heavy snow stopped, there were still snowflakes falling two or three days later. Cui Hao, Cui Rong and other men went out early and came back late, and even the old man went to the palace several times.

Zilan, Li and others couldn't do anything else, so they could only keep trying to keep warm, bringing some food and drink.

I have been busy with the disasters of farmers outside for half a month, and I have to go down to see if the fields are freezing damage, which will affect the harvest in the coming year.

He came back very late at night, and Zilan asked someone to make ginger soup at the city gate, so that the guards guards and busy yamen who were coming and going to work can drink a bowl to get rid of the cold.

I would boil several barrels of firewood and charcoal every day, and I would keep warm with it. I didn’t need the best charcoal fire in the open air. It would be enough to set up a rack for the cheapest charcoal fire to put the pot on the pan.

Cui Hao came back and told her, "Thanks to your good method, there are ginger soup in several places in the city. If we really can't bear it, we can drink a bowl, otherwise those people will be frozen."

"What about you, are you cold? You can't bring some hot water, it's not too different from others, otherwise you will be isolated."

Zilan sighed, there should not be too much difference between colleagues. This is a simple common sense, otherwise others would not be close to you, let alone interact with each other.

"It doesn't matter. It's really not cold. You put it thick and it's not cold at all from head to toe. Don't worry about me."

"That's good. I gave my sister-in-law a cloak to my brother. I was afraid that this day would freeze people, so I decided to give one."

"It's okay, I see my elder brother put it on."

Zi Lan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li still felt sorry for her man, and she didn't think so much, otherwise she would be embarrassed.

If you get a cold here, you will really die. After thinking for a long time, you still gave Li a marten cloak. If there is something wrong, it will be too late.

Li looked good, and she didn't make such a big meal as marten, so she sewed a cover and put it on Cui Rong. She said it was very warm when she came back, and she knew it was a good thing.

Things outside were busy. The old lady wanted to come back, but was stopped by her son and others, so she could rest in the farm with peace of mind. It was still early before the New Year, so I would just pick her up at that time.

Cui Hao originally said that he would send Zilan to the farm to recuperate, and there was nothing at home to let her go to the farm to be more comfortable.

But Zilan shook her head and refused to go. The whole family was busy. Jiang and Li were too busy. She couldn't do anything else, but it was okay to move her mouth and worry. She insisted on not going, and Cui Hao had no choice but to do anything.

Zi Lan arranged a daily routine to make sheep bone soup, add medicinal materials to prevent cold and remove wind evil, and placed them in the entrance hall in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard respectively. The servants who come and go can drink a bowl to drive away the cold.

I also added ginger soup and other hot soup for everyone to drink, for fear that everyone would get sick.

The butler of Jiang is very good at it. As soon as it gets cold, he gives the whole mansion a similar profit for changing seasons.

Because it snowed, the price of many things increased. The farm sent people to deliver dried vegetables, fish, shrimp and other foods once every half month, including firewood and charcoal. Especially this, the price of firewood and charcoal on the market has long risen.

Cui Mansion uses a lot of firewood and charcoal because it needs to be given porridge. Even if it doesn’t require too good charcoal fire in the open air, it still needs ordinary ones.

Chaitan is already very nervous, but the weather is so cold that you can't stop since you have done it, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain.

There was a lot of firewood and charcoal in her space, but she couldn't take it out if she couldn't leave Cui's mansion.

Fortunately, the manager of the imperial village came to deliver things again. This time, he sent one more thing in addition to food, firewood, charcoal, all of which are ordinary charcoal fires with smoke. Now such heavy snow has long been blocked, and this kind of charcoal is very precious.

"Lan'er, it's your smart manager who is good at working. This will solve the big problem. The person who came here gave two taels of silver and rewarded several people who delivered the goods."

Mrs. Jiang was so happy that the firewood and charcoal at home were almost insufficient. In the winter, there was a fire inside and outside the house, so how could it be without charcoal?

"I'm worried about this. I didn't expect him to send it to you. When you go back, you will say that the bonus of the big and small managers will double at the end of the year. If you worry about me, your good things will be indispensable. There will be red envelopes during the New Year."

Zi Lan also happily rewarded the person who reported.

"Thank you, grandma. I also sent some dried fish and dried vegetables here, for fear that it would be inconvenient for grandma to leave the city."

"Okay, the agarwood has admired them. It's so cold from afar. You can't go back empty-handed, so you can eat and drink before leaving."

"yes."

Because the imperial village was built by the royal family and there were many flowers and trees, there would be a lot of charcoal fire before the cold weather. There were too many to use. There were hot springs and hot water ready-made. The extra firewood and charcoal manager sent over, and two trucks of firewood and charcoal were all solved. This time, the big problem was solved.
