3346. Chapter 3346 Don't want to die and follow me 2
A few years ago, Xia Chiwan used a small game to make the fifteenth prince realize that too much snow would collapse the house and cause casualties, so as to warn the court to take precautions against snow disasters.
But this time is different. There were some signs of a particularly big snow disaster before, but this time there are no traces of the earthquake.
Even though Li Xuzhi had already worked with Li Fengtang to repair the house after receiving Xia Chiwan's letter, the tragedy still happened.
When Xia Chiwan heard the statistics about the number of casualties that were similar to those in the previous life, Xia Chiwan felt heartbroken.
She knew that she was selfish and did not directly tell the emperor or even the fifteenth prince such news.
However, what she said was too ridiculous.
More importantly, Xia Chiwan was also worried that even if the emperor and the prince believed her words this time, how would she explain her "precognition" ability in the future?
She didn't want to be burned to death as a ghost, and she didn't want to see others looking at her strangely. Xia Chiwan was also worried that the prince's trust and concern for her would be changed because of this weird ability.
The ability to "predict" is so tempting to some people with ulterior motives. Xia Chiwan certainly doesn't want to put himself in danger all the time.
Even if her life is not peaceful now, it cannot be compared with the danger after her "precognition" ability is exposed.
In short, her "precognition" ability must not be known to others, which resulted in today's situation.
"Your Majesty, what can we do about such a disaster?" Just when the situation in the battle with the Great Slave Kingdom was looking good, something like this happened.
Above the court, all the ministers were surrounded by a gloomy mist.
"As a result, not only the people suffered heavy casualties, but more importantly, the crops could not be saved."
Song Yunjie also had a solemn look on his face, knowing that the problem this time was not a big one.
"A catastrophic disaster from heaven has made it difficult for the people to make a living. Coupled with the current climate, there is no other reason to worry about the raging plague."
As soon as Song Yunjie said these words, the court immediately fell silent.
The place where the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Great Slave Kingdom intersected was called Yuzhou. When something like this happened in Yuzhou, it was imperative to allocate funds for disaster relief.
However, the disaster is so serious, can the court really be able to completely withstand this matter?
The answer is no.
Fortunately, Yunli Shan, an imperial merchant, set an example at this time, donating money and food, and also donated a lot of medicinal materials.
In the previous life, due to snowstorms, many businessmen raised prices and skyrocketed the price of rice, leaving the people without money to buy food and unable to survive even if they sold their sons and daughters.
In the end, the snowstorm did not kill the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Instead, the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom starved to death because of the soaring rice prices.
In this life, Xia Chiwan's efforts not only mitigated the disaster, but more importantly, under Xia Chiwan's control, the price of rice was not driven up.
Of course, the snow disaster in this life has not had a great impact on the people. In fact, many places have basically maintained their original living standards, and even more are developing better and better.
As a result, the basic public sentiment of the Great Zhou Kingdom in this life is more than a little better than in the previous life.
In the previous life, many people in the Great Zhou Kingdom were struggling to have enough food and clothing because of the snowstorm that had never happened in a century.
