In fact, Chen Xi came here to understand what the ordinary people in the border counties of Bingzhou are now. If you really want to say it, the ordinary people in the border counties of Bingzhou are relatively poor in risk resistance.

"The situation in the people of Beijun is a bit complicated. Governor Zang went to know in person before that the snow was very heavy, but because of the sufficient grain reserves of each household, it did not cause any major problems. The main problem at present is actually insufficient firewood, but in fact this is not fatal." Wen Hui thought about it and decided to be honest according to the actual situation of the investigation.

Although Chen Xi came down to solve the problem of snow disasters, and following Chen Xi's ideas is beneficial to many things, Wen Hui felt that even if he is not as tough as Zang Hong, some things must be explained clearly. He did not think that the current blizzard had caused the snow disaster.

The road is closed, the snow needs to be swept, and the people lack firewood, but if this winter snow has reached the point where the road is frozen to death, it really looks down on him Wen Hui and Zang Hong, as the governor.

Since no one freezes to death, no one starves to death, and the people are at home at most, Wen Hui also feels that it cannot be directly determined as a disaster. It can only be said that the snow is a little heavier than in previous years, but it is still a very long way from the real disaster climate.

Chen Xi didn't care too much when he heard Wen Hui's explanation. The other party's judgment was not wrong. As of now, if you compare the living environment in the past, it was indeed not considered a snow disaster. When you left Chang'an, the group of kids who were in Taixue were still playing snowball fights, and you could see children running around in the snow all the way north.

If we judge from these facts, it is undoubtedly not a snow disaster. The problem is, who told you that it is a snow disaster now, and now it is just a prelude to the snow disaster.

The Ganshi and the two families sent people to obtain the hydrological record points they had settled in northern prefectures and counties, compared the data retained over the past thousand years, and finally confirmed that this is the beginning. According to experience, the current hydrological climate is somewhat close to the late Han Dynasty.

This means that heavy snow this year is just the beginning, and there should be a super cold current from the north. What’s worse is that the wet and warm wind blowing from the southern ocean will head north at a high speed, which means that the snow may not fall into the Yangtze River area.

After the wet warm current and super cold current meet, the water vapor condenses ice, and the scale of blizzards in the north will increase significantly. In other words, the two-foot snow at the road-blocking level is just the beginning, and behind it is the truly deadly blizzard.

Chen Xi could still trust the judgment of the Gan and Shi families. After all, the letters sent by the other party to Chen Xi in a hurry and secretly found the similar climate environment in the thousand-year history. How heavy snow was in the late Western Han Dynasty? The original text of the Book of Han: "When there is heavy snow, the pits and valleys are full, and many scholars are frozen to death." Now two feet are considered a ghost!

The valleys are full, and according to the historical comparison of hydrological data obtained by the Gan family and the Shi family, if the situation is good this year, it should be the climate of Emperor Wu's Yuanding Year, which is the "flat ground is five feet thick" recorded in history. Simply put, it is the degree to which the average thickness of the snow in the entire north throws Cao Cao in, revealing only one head.

If the situation is not good, the pits and valleys during the turmoil in the late Han Dynasty were all full.

Chen Xi guessed that the people could barely survive the former, but even the former had to take advantage of the snow that was not so heavy that the government could not bear it, and quickly reserved local people enough coal briquettes to survive the winter, and reserved cabbage for local supply and marketing cooperatives with sufficient scale for cellars.

If it were the latter, Chen Xi, the latter, thought that it really needed to die. The snow over five meters thick would mean that most places would be buried. After the snow cover solidified, the people under the snow would be likely to experience various dangerous situations, and they might even die because the air was not suffocated enough.

After all, Chen Xi has made the infrastructure for villages in various places not as good as the Yong family. It has its own underground palace, air inlet, and air inlet passage. Although the Yong family is a little lazy, even if this family is really buried in snow, there will be no problem. But if a normal village is buried, it will be very deadly.

Originally, the Han Dynasty had very few populations. If thousands or thousands died every day in a cold winter, Chen Xi could not stand it, so he had to prepare for cold and freezing in advance.

More importantly, after this wave, Chen Xi began to think about whether to build boilers for the northern villages. Although it consumes a little more, there is such a thing that, as a certain link in official logistics, it will inevitably reserve huge coal before winter begins.

In this way, even if it really snowstorms in winter, it is enough to directly order each village to directly use the coal reserved in the boiler room. The only disadvantage is probably the difficulty in management.

Therefore, Chen Xi had to go on a field inspection first to determine whether this could be done. Well, this is inevitable. It is enough to suffer a snow disaster. Chen Xi didn't want to suffer a second time. She went there in person, and learned more about how to manage it well.

"For it, you can see it yourself." Chen Xi handed Wen Hui the urgent secret letter from Gan Shi's two families. Wen Hui's face turned pale after reading it, and he was almost cursing. Is the snow so heavy?

"It would be fine if it was just snow of this level. I didn't understand why the Gan family and the Shi family directly sent everyone in the clan to collect annual hydrological and climate information. Later, I got it." Chen Xi sighed and said.

After all, Chen Xi was not from a climatic science, so Chen Xi did not understand what the experience that the Gan Shi family left for future generations meant. When those portrayals appeared, they had to act as soon as possible. This was a time to save lives.

"This is just the first wave of snowstorms. The real snow disaster is behind them. According to them, the place where the snow is five feet thick is Chang'an, and Bingzhou will only be thicker and not thinner." Chen Xi looked up slightly at Wen Hui. Wen Hui's face turned blue. Your uncle, is God crazy?

"I'm looking for governor Zang, I may not be able to handle it alone." Wen Hui made a quick decision. At this time, he really didn't care about showing in front of Chen Xi. The lives of the people were not used by them as meritorious people, and he could not afford them.

Zang Ba is here, and he just pretends to be sick and doesn't want to come. The reason is also mentioned. In his opinion, Chen Xi is really looking for trouble. The only ones who are frozen to death are just those non-nationals who are not convinced by Wang Hua and do not participate in the merger of villages and villages. If they die, they can still give them less trouble. Why bother?

Therefore, before Chen Xi came, Zang Ba entrusted full power to Wen Hui, and entrusted part of the military power to Wen Hui, asking him to obey Chen Xi's command. As a result, when he was lying at home, Wen Hui came over. Zang Ba was a little surprised. He didn't think Chen Xi would cause trouble for him because of such a thing.

Chen Xi's personality is known to the middle and senior officials of the Han Dynasty. You have no problem with your work and the people are living and working in peace and contentment under your rule. Chen Xi has no opinion on you, so Zang Ba will not be targeted by Chen Xi even if he is in bed and rested. After all, this is the problem of both sides' perception of the disaster.

Zang Hong felt that he had conducted on-site inspections, and personally went north a hundred miles north, found a village for verification, and determined that heavy snow would be the most blocking of roads, so that each village could organize snow sweeps, and there was no need for assistance at all. At least they really didn't need it in Bingzhou. As a result, Chen Xi came down and ran directly to Bingzhou. You distrust my ability!

Forget it, since you don’t trust it, I’ll send someone you trust to work for you. Anyway, I should be transferred to Chang'an in two years to be Liu Yan’s adjutant. It’s also appropriate for the Bingzhou governor to Wen Hui. Okay, just give the right in advance.

As a result, why did Wen Hui come to find him at this time?

"Governor Zang, please come with me to meet the Secretary of the Shangshu Pushe." Wen Hui still respects Zang Hong very much. This man has strong abilities, strong minds, and is a practical man. More importantly, this man has no jealousy of talent. After discovering that Wen Hui is good at abilities, he even helped Wen Hui on the road. During this period, some minor mistakes made by Wen Hui were also handled by Zang Hong.

Therefore, Wen Hui respects Zang Hong very much, and it is also good to have such a direct boss.

"What happened?" Zang Hong didn't think that Chen Xi was asking him to settle the score. It was meaningless. Unless something Wen Hui couldn't solve, Chen Xi would not come to him.

"It's still a snow disaster." Wen Hui said bitterly, but before Zang Hong refused, Wen Hui quickly explained, "The current snow disaster is actually just the beginning. In fact, according to the hydrological climate of the Gan and Shi families, the climate this year is close to the Yuan Ding year, or even the late Han Dynasty."

Zang Hong was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his scalp became numb. Nowadays, no one has ever memorized these historical books. What kind of ghost climate was in the Yuan Ding year, and what kind of ghost climate was in the late Han Dynasty. Who knows the mind. If that were the case, it really needed to prevent disasters first.

"Let the county government prepare to dispatch troops. In that case, you must send supplies to local villages before the snowstorm comes, otherwise someone will die." Zang Hong said with a serious expression, "Let's go and see Chen Pushe."

At the same time, Liao Li, the governor of Jiangling County, has begun to seize cotton clothes from Jiangling. Although this guy does not have hydrological information from the Gan and Shi families, he has lived in Jingchu for many years and some small details have made Liao Li judge that the climate this year seems to be a little wrong.

The spider in Jiangling actually closed the web. Even in winter, this was too much. After seeing this, Liao Li looked through the records in the county government. In the end, he was more than 80% sure that it would snow on their side. Liao Li was stunned at that time. They were now more than 20 degrees, and it was likely to snow within three days. How could people live?
