Chapter 916 The Army Is Dispatched

Generally speaking, no matter how cold it is, people hope that the snow will fall heavier in winter.

Because this way the harvest next year will be better.

Zhao Lang naturally knew the reason. Cold weather would kill some pests and eggs.

This is also the reason why auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.

But if the snow is too heavy, it will cause disaster!

The heavy snow has been falling for several days now, so for big villagers like them, it is naturally not a big problem.

There are servants cleaning, and all the materials and food for the winter have been prepared.

But for ordinary people, one more snow or one less snow may be the difference between life and death.

If the snow continues to fall like this, then I am afraid that many people in the North will not be able to survive this winter.

In fact, he could do nothing, and the people would not have any complaints.

This is a natural disaster. Since ancient times, no one has been able to fight against it.

Everyone will even acquiesce that this is God choosing the strong people to survive.

But Zhao Lang quickly walked towards the yard where Ji Wushuang was. In order for Ji Wushuang to take better care of the two children, Zhao Lang himself had to deal with political affairs, so they were sleeping separately.

Soon they arrived in the room. Ji Wushuang was breastfeeding her two children. When she saw Zhao Lang coming in, her face turned red and she said,

"Alang, please wait outside for a moment."

Zhao Lang couldn't help but smile. They both knew each other well, but the other one was still so shy.

But now is not the time for love between children, Zhao Lang quickly asked,

"Xiao Bailian, can the farmer's contact network still work?"

Ji Wushuang heard Zhao Lang ask about business and quickly answered,

"This year, I have been using farm workers in the Northland. The farm organization is pretty good now, but why do you ask?"

Zhao Lang smiled bitterly and said,

"It's been snowing these days. It's fine up here in Zhuangzi, but the countryside outside may be affected in the next two days. I want to make some preparations in advance."

"I will ask the Qin troops stationed everywhere to bring supplies and prepare for disaster relief in advance."

"We need to use farm hands, who are more familiar with the location and situation of the people."

The supplies in the entire Northland are actually relatively abundant now.

Because I wanted to hoard supplies before, I was planning to go directly into the Huns’ royal court in two years.

Now that the Huns' royal court has been recaptured, these supplies are also available.

It just happens to be used to provide relief to the people in the North. Anyway, most of these materials come from the North, and they can be regarded as being taken from the people and used by the people.

Hearing this, Ji Wushuang's expression quickly became serious and said,

"Then we have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise many people will die."

She grew up in the countryside and knew how vulnerable the people in the countryside were.

Without food or wood for heating, someone will die in two to three days!

Soon she had someone call Mei over.

"Alang, Miss Mei has been helping me these days, and she has a very close relationship with the new people."

"Let her help you this time."

The other party knew more about the new people who had been transformed from slaves than she did.

Mei also quickly said at this time,

"I'll contact the manpower right away."

After saying that, she left the courtyard very simply. She knew better than anyone else how fragile those new people were.

If the rescue is not timely, big problems will occur!

After Mei left, Zhao Lang looked at the child and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Wushuang.

"Alang, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhao Lang stopped with some confusion and said,

"you say."

Ji Wushuang hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"I think Miss Mei is very nice, and I get along well with her. It's just that she comes from a bad background, but it's not her fault."

"I can also see that Miss Mei treats you..."

Before Ji Wushuang could finish speaking, Zhao Lang said with a blushing face,

"Xiao Bailian, what are you talking about now? I'd better do business first."

Even if he has a dark heart and a thick face, he has no shame to tell Xiao Bailian about this matter.

After saying that, he left here as if running away. He would not take this opportunity to deceive Xiao Bailian. He would still wait for an opportunity to tell the truth.

He still has this responsibility.

Soon after Zhao Lang left the yard, he returned directly to his residence and prepared to issue disaster relief orders.

However, looking at the order issued by the master of the house, the slave on the side said with a bit of regret,

"Master, your intentions are good, but the snow is too heavy now, and the supplies cannot be transported out."

"If we rely solely on manpower to carry it, this..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was obvious. The cost would be too high, but the effect would not be very good.

Of course Zhao Lang would not use materials to measure human life, he frowned and said,

“There’s not much manpower to carry, so we’ll use sleds.”

But after hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed in Nu's eyes and he asked,

"Master, what is a sled?"

Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said,

"Bring a pen and paper, I will draw a drawing and give it to the craftsmen to supervise and let them copy it. Remember, everyone uses this thing to transport supplies, so the loss will not be too big!"

Soon, Zhao Lang drew a simple sleigh drawing and handed it to the slave.

Looking at the simple, clear and easy-to-understand drawings in his hands, Nu's eyes burst out with light and he said,

"Master, your wisdom is so..."

He didn't know how to praise him. How could Zhao Lang be in such a mood at this time? He said directly,

"Hurry up and deliver the order!"

The slave immediately ran out in a hurry.

Not long after, countless messengers appeared in the snow and headed in all directions.

A few days later, in a Qin army camp in the north.

A Qin army sentry looked solemnly outside the military camp, where there was only a vast expanse of white.

After watching for a while, the sentry felt a little dazzling. He closed his eyes at that time, but his face became more and more worried. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and said to his companion beside him,

"Brother, I don't know if my parents and younger siblings will be able to withstand such a heavy snowfall."

When the elder brother heard this, his expression darkened slightly, but at this time he could only squeeze out a smile and said,

"The harvest at home this year is good, and there is enough wood and food. There shouldn't be anything wrong."

The eldest brother comforted his younger brother, but the worry on his face betrayed him.

The snow is too heavy. Even if there is enough food and wood, the house may not be able to sustain it.

The sentry also realized this and couldn't help but said,

"Brother, do you think we can go back? Take something with us by the way."

The eldest brother showed a wry smile at this time and said,

"Where do you think this is? What about the military stuff? It can be used at will. How can we go back temporarily?"

After hearing these questions, the sentry's expression darkened instantly, but he knew that he could not blame the army.

There has been no such truth since ancient times.

Just thinking about his parents, brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but feel heartache in his heart, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

The elder brother on the side could only turn his head, but he saw a figure slowly approaching the military camp. He instantly became alert and shouted,

"This is the Great Qin Army Camp. If anyone approaches, please tell me by name!"

"Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

Hearing the shouting, the figure stopped and then shouted loudly,

"According to the order of the Prince's Palace! The army is dispatched! Bring all the supplies! Relieve the people!"

Hearing this, the eldest brother was stunned, and then burst into ecstasy. He kicked the younger brother next to him and shouted,

"Stop crying, our parents, brothers and sisters are waiting for us!"
