It only took one day from Chang'an's order to the start of disaster relief. There were sufficient reserves in various places. Although Chen Xi was not completely a hamster party, Chen Xi habitually accumulated a large amount of supplies, and most of the time he carried out them by category. reserve.
More importantly, this kind of reserve warehouse is not actually used most of the time, but now it is time to use it.
"Mobilize the militia to clear the snow, open the storage warehouse, intercept some coal mines for distribution first, let local officials supervise the people to go out to clear the snow, provide brooms, and after clearing the snow on the county roads, distribute blankets to the people, and register one by one to receive two baskets of briquettes ." Wen Hui, who was in charge of Bingzhou, quickly issued disaster relief orders after Zang Hong issued the document.
The urgent secret report was sent to Bingzhou and Youzhou first. After all, the snow in these two places was very heavy.
It's just that due to the development and construction of major aristocratic families in Youzhou, the floor heating pipes have basically been laid, and there is no snow disaster problem at all. When it snows, you can just stay in bed for the winter. On the contrary, in Bingzhou, except for a few aristocratic families, Most of them are the residences of ordinary people after the merger of large ranches and ordinary villages.
The situation of the large ranch is not bad. Chen Xi built it according to the standard above-ground brick and tile house and underground semi-underground palace model. In addition, the large ranch does not have the problem of insufficient charcoal fire. If it is not possible, it can still be mixed with burning hay.
After all, it is a country under rough management. The goals issued by Chen Xi clearly require the storage of hay and green storage materials sufficient for the winter. In addition to raising cattle and sheep, the main task of the herdsmen on the pasture is to harvest and store forage. The haystacks around the pasture are very large, so there is no need to worry about the large pasture.
The worst case scenario is to burn hay as firewood, not to mention the extra coal reserves. Even if you burn hay, you should be able to survive the whole winter. At most, the heat of hay is not enough, so you burn it more times a day, but this is not a problem. .
Zang Hong actually knew these things, so he didn't take the heavy snowfall in northern Xinjiang seriously before. As a northerner, he has seen a lot of heavy snowfall. This year's snow disaster is not considered at all, and it does not exceed the common people and official officials. endurance limit.
This is also because Zang Hong didn't do much before. He just ordered counties at all levels to clean the roads in prefectures and counties to ensure smooth logistics.
As for other things, Zang Hong didn't pay much attention to them. In his opinion, the snow this year would not kill many people at all. These days, every family has fields, food, and brick houses built by the government in batches, so there is no chance of a freeze. Starve to death.
As long as the roads are clear and there are no problems with message delivery, that's fine.
According to Zang Hong’s situation after the blizzard came, he left Taiyuan City, traveled hundreds of miles north, and lived in a small village courtyard for three days. This year’s snowstorm probably froze some insect eggs to death to prepare for winter wheat to survive the winter. Next year It must be a good year.
Those who really froze to death must be those non-citizens. These days, as long as the common people follow the command of the state, they have already completed the consolidation of villages and replaced them with new-style thickened brick houses.
This is a brick house that Chen Xi hired professionals in the early years. The construction was planned based on the local climate and environment. Various factors were taken into consideration during the construction. Snow disasters cannot kill people, and the harvest has been bumper every year in recent years. Every family should have between ten months and three or four years of food reserves, even if the villages and roads were closed, they would not die of hunger, so Zang Hong didn't care when there were two heavy snowfalls.
The thinking of feudal bureaucrats these days is very crude. If the people do not freeze to death and starve to death, the problem will be solved if they have food to eat and houses to live in. Roads will be closed when there is heavy snow, and the people themselves will not go out very much. Just fix the snow on the state and county roads. Victory.
As for those non-citizens who are still hiding from state management and hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, Zang Hong doesn't regard them as human beings at all. Just die. I am not a member of the Enlightenment Sect. The Iron-Blooded Sect's route can take good care of its own people. That's victory.
So after Zang Hong made sure that the obedient people would be fine, he left it alone. Unexpectedly, Chang'an's order came down, and even Chen Xi himself came.
By the way, Zang Hong didn't actually know that Liu Bei was trapped in a village in a remote area, but even if he knew, Zang Hong would probably have the same attitude, because Liu Bei was fine when he went to that place, which proved that his judgment was correct! Then don't worry about it.
Therefore, when Chen Xi ordered disaster relief, Zang Hong directly gave the governor's seal and ribbon to Wen Hui and let the other party do what he wanted. He thought that disaster relief was not needed, and if the superiors thought that disaster relief was needed, he would give the seal and ribbon to the person who thought he could do it well. , and then just take care of your own affairs.
So when Chen Xi arrived too far by car, the county roads had been cleared, and the snow in Bingzhou was almost two feet thick. Chen Xi looked a little solemn.
Not long after Chen Xi arrived, Jian Yong came over with a lot of supplies, mainly felts, cotton clothes, and various meats.
Originally, Jian Yong was not planning to come over, but he just got the point-to-point graphics planning processor from Guo Kai. The other party decided that a large logistics distribution center should be built in Taiyuan, and then a secondary division should be carried out in Yecheng.
Because of his trust in the computer, Jian Yong came over. When he came over, he heard that there was something wrong with Chen Xi, so he collected some supplies and brought them over.
However, after waiting here, Jian Yong also felt that the snow in the northern part of Bingzhou seemed a bit outrageous. It was two feet high and it was still falling.
"Manji, how is the situation in the northern part of Bingzhou?" Chen Xi had actually determined Liu Bei's position at this time, but he did not kill him directly. Instead, he first learned about the situation from Wen Hui. Although Chen Xi was a little curious, it was obvious that the governor Zang Hong should come. Why should Wen Hui handle the matter, even though Wen Hui is also very capable.
"The situation in northern Bingzhou is roughly divided into two types. One is the ranch workers under the management of the Beidi Ranch. The accommodation of these people is around the ranch. When the ranch was built at that time, pipes were laid, and the boilers there were It never stops, and central heating is implemented, so there is no big problem on the ranch." Wen Hui quickly informed Chen Xi of what he learned.
The heating technology in the Han Dynasty was not as good as that of the Yong family. The Yong family researched some strange things. In addition to conventional fireplaces, fire walls, fire pits, and boilers, the Yong family also had etching technology.
When Chen Xi built the large ranch, etching technology had not yet been developed, but the human resources of the ranch were concentrated, so central heating was implemented, which was the simplest and crudest method of burning a boiler. As for the fire wall and fire pit, the professional construction personnel of the local ranch relied on the help of them. nailed it.
As for the boilers, they are actually similar to those of the Yong family. They are all large, thick ceramic boilers. There are people watching the fires around the clock, and hot water is supplied 24 hours a day. As for briquettes, how could there be a shortage in Bingzhou? This territory covers a large part of the area. In Shanxi in later generations, the quality of coal was very good.
Therefore, high chimneys and larger boilers are used to provide hot water and provide heating at the same time. Although the level of central heating is a bit poor due to poor pipe insulation technology, sometimes the quality is not enough and the quantity must be made up. Things like coal are not suitable for those close to mines. It is worthless to people, and they are also state-owned units themselves.
In the winter, I would deliver cow and goat milk to the smelting company next door, or directly deliver milk and ice. When I came back, I would pick up a few trucks of coal when the empty truck came back. Every time I came back, everyone's happiness level increased, so the water room for burning the boiler on the big ranch was separated by a section. There is one in the distance.
As long as there is enough hot water, heating is not that difficult. After all, the extremely cold weather here is only minus 30 degrees Celsius, which only lasts a few days.
For large state-owned ranches like this, there is nothing to do in winter. Even if it is to pay the herdsmen reasonably, they have to find something to do. Burning boilers and melting snow on site to get water for boilers is also a job.
So much so that the boiler hot water on the big ranch is enough for the herdsmen to play with hot water in the swimming pool of the underground palace in the winter. The only drawback is that after such a toss, it is very difficult to deal with.
However, recently some people have begun to study how to pump water for swimming in winter. It is estimated that it will not be long before someone comes up with a hand-cranked water pump.
Oh, think about it carefully, it seems that there is already a hand-operated water pump. A salty fish in Chang'an who works on mechanics has built such a thing.
It is mainly used to have water fights with plastic sisters in the summer. It seems to have been upgraded to the water dragon used in the Song Dynasty to put out fires, and a lot of labor-saving devices have been added. It can even knock the plastic sisters directly to the ground. .
Of course, another one of the Plastic Sisters seems to have made the same thing, but because this one likes to use etching technology too much, after the change in the sky, he was beaten around with a water hose by the other party. I don’t know what happened next. Anyway, let’s see Kong Ming's expression was a little bit like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"That side of the ranch, ah, don't worry about that side. Don't say they haven't suffered a disaster. Even if they have suffered a disaster, they can save themselves. They have a complete organizational structure." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, State-owned The positioning of units is still different from that of ordinary residential areas.
At least early state-owned units must have carried out certain military training, and this was the era of the classical military state. Not to mention military training, state-owned ranches carried out certain actual combat exercises.
Although they have no opponents, they will take the initiative to hunt their own cattle, even use a short sword to fight with the cattle, ride horses without saddles, harness their own better horses and so on.
Although he often kills cows and puts them in pots with his hands, lassoes horses and turns them into his own mounts, etc., it is generally regarded as serious training, and he still has some fighting ability.
In addition, the organizational structure is considered complete, so the state-owned ranch does not need to be rescued at all, and they still have the ability to save others.
