Chapter 367
Now is the most difficult time. No matter what you want to do, you must win the world.
Gu Junli is charging into battle every day, so other things need to be solved by himself. This is the only thing he can do for them.
Fortunately, Su Ruchun is relatively good at making money. In the past two years, she has actively promoted grain planting and saved a lot of grain.
So when the temperature was abnormal this year, she immediately realized something was wrong and tried her best to exchange the money in her hands for grain and cotton.
Fortunately, they have planted enough land in and around the royal city in recent years, and they have enough food.
However, she won't move now.
She is waiting to see what the scene will be like after half a month.
Although this idea is very realistic, and although it is a bit cold-blooded, from the overall perspective, there is nothing wrong with it.
It is not an easy task to take care of the army and keep the people fed. It can be said that if it were another person today, he would never be able to do this.
Moreover, Su Ruchun was not prepared to disturb the situation immediately. The stored food was reserved for the army. If each place could solve its own problems, she would not have to worry about it.
Of course, if you want the other party to work hard, you still have to give them a promise, just like a carrot dangling in front of them, and you must let them see the benefits.
So under the arrangement of Su Ruchun, a small official in Wangcheng did a big thing.
He asked the people to practice what they should do if they really encountered a snow disaster.
Although the common people thought this was boring and even a waste of time, they could not ignore the orders from above, so after the actual practice, the official was actually promoted.
Then everyone spread a message, saying that it was Su Ruchun himself who said that whoever can make the people live a good life and have a stable meal can be promoted exceptionally.
Just like this little official, he was promoted to three levels all of a sudden. This is definitely not something they would dare to think about in ordinary times.
So everyone is very excited. It was originally something that had to be done due to pressure from above, but now it is more positive.
And everyone is trying their best to think of solutions, and some places have even begun to dig shelter caves.
It started out as a mayor's idea. If a snowstorm really comes and the house is really crushed, then by putting food and bedding in the cave, we can tide over the storm.
This idea was approved and the mayor was promoted and made a fortune, so many villages began to imitate it.
They were digging caves one by one. Of course, some conditions were not that good. After all, there are not mountains and rocks everywhere, so everyone began to build straw sheds.
There are no stones, but there is always wood. We can always build straw sheds, two of which can be built with one car.
By doing this, there is a way to retreat.
At first, the common people thought it was unnecessary, but then they found out that it was effortless and everyone expressed their support.
After working like this for half a month, the first snow suddenly came, and everyone was surprised.
The snow this year is really too early. Logically speaking, it should not snow until another month. Why is it so early this year?
Then it snowed for ten consecutive days. Although everyone was required to clean the roof every day, it turns out that how much weight can a thatched house bear?
As a result, many problems occurred, and some houses had leaks in their roofs, which were relatively lucky.
What's more difficult is that the house collapsed immediately.
Just like what the mayor said, one household will pay two households, and if there are more households, they will not have the extra ability to help.
At this time, the cave prepared earlier was put to use. A bonfire was lit in the cave and the door was blocked with a straw curtain, which made it possible to make do. Although it was still cold, it would not freeze to death.
Especially after crowding through more than a dozen houses, it seemed a little warmer. At this moment, everyone praised the person who came up with the solution.
At this time, the county town also sent people to distribute porridge. Although each person was given a bowl of porridge, it was good to have enough water for one day.
In this winter, there is no way out. If the court hadn't given them this way out, they really don't know what to do.
Under Su Ruchun's continuous arrangements, although there were snowstorms in the surrounding areas, there were very few casualties in the dozen or so cities below, and the people were grateful for this.
In fact, they are more worried about food. They don't know whether the wheat can survive.
But there is nothing we can do about it. We can only try our best to save it now. No one knows what the situation will be like next year.
Fortunately, after suffering for such a long time, the heavy snow finally stopped. When the snow melted, everyone found that the seedlings were not seriously damaged. Although next year's harvest will definitely not be very good, it is better than no harvest at all.
The people were rejoicing, but some people felt uncomfortable.
King Cheng also did not expect that under such circumstances, Gu Junli's army would be unscathed. How could this be possible?
After all, this winter snow had a certain impact on even my own army at such a long distance.
How could Gu Junli's army be unscathed? Not a single soldier was injured. This is absolutely impossible.
Even if he is the National Preceptor, he cannot have such ability, not to mention that this time the National Preceptor has made it clear that he will not stand on the side of his former residence.
His previous schemes had all succeeded. He plotted against the national advisor and sent him troops to let him see the greed of the royal family!
Then, the success of such a plan to split him and Gu Junli was simply too clever.
In this way, he got a chance to breathe. Then, as the weather became colder and colder, he watched the snow disaster appear.
Now the snowstorm has occurred, but Gu Junli has no losses, so this becomes troublesome.
The occurrence of a snowstorm is not the point. The point is that the other party must suffer losses. If the other party has no losses, then doesn't it mean that you have no advantage?
Under such circumstances, he felt that even if the other party had no losses, the current situation must be very embarrassing and could not be too good.
So if you attack now, you will definitely put the opponent in trouble. Even if you fail with one attack, there are other ways.
After leading troops in wars for so many years, what could he do? So one morning, the soldiers from King Cheng's side suddenly attacked. Although there were only 3,000 people, they left with overwhelming momentum.
Everyone doesn't understand that there are three cities away from the third prince's military camp. Do you want to use 3,000 troops to attack a city?
They were all waiting to see the joke. After all, what King Cheng did was ridiculous. How could he win?
But no one thought that King Cheng was too despicable. What he wanted to do was not to attack, but to destroy!
He actually ordered three thousand men and horses to prevent the fire from burning down the forest. The forest was burned in this winter, and dozens of villages were directly implicated.
