After all, Kyoto City is the capital city of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Those poor families whose houses were damaged by heavy snow naturally flocked to the wealthy Kyoto City in large numbers.
No matter how much the emperor issued new decrees, he would avert the disaster.
Due to the snowstorm, some of the victims stayed in the local area, waiting for warehouses to be opened for disaster relief, and naturally some flocked to Kyoto City. After all, everyone stayed in the same place, fearing that the situation would not be alleviated.
As a result, the dispatch of disaster relief officials has become unstoppable.
At present, there are many people in the imperial court who are willing to volunteer.
Of course, there are also recommendations, and the recommended candidates are mainly focused on the seventh prince and the prince.
Neither the Seventh Prince nor the Crown Prince wanted to miss such a great opportunity to make a name for himself.
In the post of disaster relief official, it was not decided whether the seventh prince or the prince should be appointed, and another thing happened in the court.
It's snowing heavily and stars are flying in the sky.
A large boulder shaped like a peach blossom fell from the sky and hit Huangqi Mountain.
Huangqi Mountain is the Feng Shui treasure mountain where the Great Zhou Kingdom is located. There is a forbidden area in Huangqi Mountain that only the royal family can enter.
After Si Tianjian learned about this situation, he insisted that the continuous snow disaster in the Zhou Dynasty this year was caused by the Peach Blossom Tribulation.
Peach blossom, peach blossom, the person who caused this disaster must be a woman.
Since this peach blossom stone fell on Huangqi Mountain, it affected the national lineage of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
If you want to prevent this disaster, you must suppress this peach blossom disaster.
As the saying goes, to untie a bell, one must also tie it.
Since this peach blossom stone fell on Huangqi Mountain, it means that the person who can suppress the peach blossom calamity must be a member of the royal family.
As soon as this rumor came out, some people began to vaguely suspect who was the peach blossom calamity of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Hearing what Peach Blossom Tribulation said, Xia Chiwan smiled coldly.
It's really a clumsy method.
Therefore, Xia Chiwan did not put too much thought into this peach blossom disaster.
There was a snowstorm and there was a shortage of rice and food.
Sure enough, just like in previous lives, those profiteers have been driving up the price of rice.
As a result, it was very difficult for the people to buy rice.
The price of rice grains has doubled and tripled.
At this time, the rice and grain shop under the name of Yun Qiandu took out a lot of grain and sold it at the original price.
However, those who can buy it must be the common people.
Each household is given three liters of rice per person.
(One liter of rice is equivalent to four kilograms of rice today)
Because the person selling rice grains was Xia Chiwan, it was quite easy for Xia Chiwan to obtain the household registration books of local people.
Xia Chiwan's move was, after all, a philanthropic act. Coupled with Xia Chiwan's status, the local county magistrate naturally supported it strongly.
When encountering natural disasters such as snowstorms, people's food intake is naturally not as severe as usual.
Therefore, if one person buys three liters of rice and a family can save some, they can eat it for one to two months.
As soon as Xia Chiwan made this move, people in the entire Kyoto city asked Xia Chiwan if he had bought rice.
At this time, no one will complain that there is too much food.
Xia Chiwan's actions made the wealthy businessmen in Kyoto City really angry to death.
But Xia Chiwan's identity is there.
They can warn others and even destroy their stores.
But whoever dares to smash up the Prime Minister's daughter's shop is not afraid of the Prime Minister's care, nor is he afraid of people from the General's Palace coming to kill him?
Therefore, no matter how much those wealthy businessmen hated Xia Chiwan, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
