Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

  Chapter 564 Help them again

   But the biggest trouble now is that Kuncheng has also entered winter. The houses of the people have been destroyed, and many properties and food have been lost. If there is a cold winter again, I am afraid that many people will freeze to death and starve to death.

"The food for disaster relief has been allocated, and people have prepared cotton clothes, cotton, and charcoal fires. The climate there is better than that in the capital and not so cold, but the people still have to survive this winter. "

In this era, it is mainly small farmers. Many families are self-sufficient. Now that their own food is gone, this is also a great pressure on the court. It's almost done.

   "I will hand over this matter to the Ministry of Industry and Su Yulun to follow up."

  Su Ying raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Jin faintly. Who didn't know that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was a protégé of Lord Jingguo back then, and many of the servants below were from the branches of Lord Jingguo's clan.

   What Jing Guogong is doing now is what Su Yulun did back then. Now Xiao Jin has brought the two parties together. Isn't this giving them a chance to fight?

   But this is also good, with competitors watching, they dare not make mistakes.

   Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Su Ying asked the household department to find her a relatively gentle hillside.

  Shangshu Hubu dared to be negligent in the slightest. In less than three days, he selected a bunch of hillsides for Su Ying.

  After conducting on-the-spot investigations, Su Ying selected two places.

   "Your Majesty, what is your plan to find these slopes?"

  Su Ying stepped on the mud on the hillside, pinched some mud and rubbed it in her hands.

   "It's very useful."

  The Minister of the Household Department didn't know what the great use Su Ying was talking about, but he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to say it.

  A few days later, people passing through these hillsides will find that many people are digging holes with hoes and shovels on the hillside.

These people were all recruited by Su Ying from the parents of the students in the women's academy. Those girls' families are poor, so Su Ying will help them and give them wages to let them come to work, at least to let them live without starvation Belly winter.

   "My lady, what are you doing digging holes and cutting trees?"

   "Burning charcoal." Su Ying looked at the direction of the hillside and said.

  Before, Mother Zhao accidentally mentioned that the cotton production in Chu State is small this year. If it is a freeze this year, many poor people will be frozen to death or starved to death.

  At that time, she wanted to burn some charcoal and sell it to the poor people at the cheapest price, and indirectly taught them the skills of burning charcoal, so that they could at least have a meal in the future.

   "The empress really cares about the common people."

   "Anyway, I'm bored in the harem, so it's good to go out for a walk."

The forests on the outskirts of Beijing are very dense. Su Ying asked them to cut down areas that are relatively scattered, so that they will not cut down a piece of hilltop. When the spring comes next year, they will let the people plant the saplings, so that future generations can continue to enjoy it. To the greater gift of nature.

  Su Ying looked at everyone working **** the hillside, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was in the northern wilderness. At that time, everyone was full of hope for the future.

  In fact, she prefers the life in Tiankui City, which is simple and clear, without too much intrigue. After all, the people there have tried their best to live before, so there are so many other thoughts.

  Chu Yun would send her a letter to report the situation of Tiankui City every month. Even if the report was formulaic, Su Ying felt an inexplicable kindness.

   "Ma'am, it's noon, let's have lunch first." Zhou Qing walked over with a food box.

   These days Su Ying would come here every day and eat and drink with the common people right after noon, without any special treatment.

   "What's delicious for lunch today?"

   Zhou Qing smiled and said: "Uncle He was afraid that you might not be able to eat well, so he got up early in the morning and prepared a big pig, and made sauerkraut and white meat for everyone. The slaves could smell it from afar."

  The overseer on the hillside also rang the bell for lunch. When the bell rang, everyone ran down the hill excitedly.

It’s okay not to be excited. Some of them have lived for decades without even eating meat. Now when they come to work, they not only get paid for their wages, but also have meat in their lunch package, which they dare not even dream of. of!

  The Ministry of Industry built a few simple wooden houses at the foot of the mountain, which were used for the common people to eat.

  Su Ying walked into the wooden house and sat on a table in the farthest corner, Zhou Qing opened the food box and took out all the food inside.

   "Young lady, eat it while it's hot. When I go back tonight, I will congratulate my uncle and say that I will prepare my favorite hot pot."

  Eating a hot pot of meat in this weather is really better than a god.

  Su Yingna picked up the bowl, and a lot of working people came over and sat down on other chairs.

   Seeing Su Ying sitting on the chair in the corner, she didn't dare to disturb her.

  They knew that this was the empress, and they also knew that it was all thanks to the empress that they were able to eat meat and earn wages.

  Su Ying's actions also made the common people feel that the queen really cares about them, the low-level common people.

   After all, the Chu State has been in existence for many years, and there has never been a queen who is as willing to sit among the people as the current queen, who is willing to eat and eat vegetables.

  Su Ying's behavior will not only make the common people think that she does not have the rules of a noble daughter, but also feel that she is very close to the people.

   After everyone was full, they sat in the room and rested for a while before continuing to work.

  Su Ying and the others were the only ones in the dining room.

In fact, it is not that Su Ying has never thought about improving the military strength of Chu State before, but this matter is too big, and it is not necessarily a good thing to encourage growth. Since it is the era of cold weapons, let it adapt to the self-development of the entire era. Some things should be Sometimes there will be.

  Even Xiao Jin can't fully guarantee that he will not send troops to other countries after possessing weapons of mass destruction, let alone others?

  Nowadays, it is the greatest blessing for this country that the common people can eat enough, clothe themselves warmly, live and work in peace and contentment.

  In just a few days, the wood and soil pits for charcoal burning were ready.

   There are more skilled charcoal-making craftsmen in the capital. Su Ying recruited a group of craftsmen to teach the people the principles and process of charcoal-making.

   "Mother, if these charcoals are burned out, wouldn't the original craftsmen have no business?" Zhou Qing followed Su Ying for a long time, and her words became bolder.

"This palace has already understood it. Although it is just a small piece of charcoal, there are many ways to do it than we imagined. There are also many types of charcoal. These craftsmen teach the most basic Originally, the market for the worst charcoal would not be much after it was made, and for a master of high-quality charcoal like Shaoyinsi charcoal, teaching basic skills would not be greatly affected.”

  Zhou Qing suddenly realized that the secret thought was that the empress thought it through.
